953 Chapter 923

Suddenly, as Artemia was about to continue the meeting, there was an unexpected visitor; this visitor was none other than Incursio, the one they were talking about.

Incursio observed them for a moment before chuckling.

''Mind if I join y'all?"

There was a moment of silence after Incursio declared this, as none of them had expected this sudden visit.

After a moment of silence, Maria sighed and offered Incursio a chair.

''Sit here.''

''Hehehehe! Thank you, Alexia.'' Incursio said before sitting next to Maria; she was sitting between Maria and Artemia, while Sakuya, Luna, and Saeko were sitting across from them. She was sandwiched between a strong lineup, not that she minded; she was sure to win if she were to fight them.

''It's a good thing that you came as the purpose of this meeting has something to do with you,'' Artemia said as soon as Incursio sat, the latter nodded, and all eyes were on her.

''Do you love Alex? It's why you're after him? Asking him to become your sugar daddy?" Luna was the one who asked this.

''Love? It's a foreign emotion to me as I've never felt it before, so can you tell me what love is?" Instead of answering, Incursio raised a question.

The girls were not surprised, they exchanged looks, and Luna was selected to be the first to answer.

''Love is the pureness of spirit within ourselves, not a license to judge the pureness of others. With love, we support without conditions, demonstrating honor, fairness, and compassion. We offer gentle guidance to help the other to a happy and fulfilling life and know that judgment is not our domain. We cannot ever fully know the sorrows and triggers of another; we can never truly "walk in their shoes," but with true empathy and grace, we show a love that can heal, a love that can make the world a better place one heart at a time.''

Incursio knew she was referring to what she had done recently, she acted saying it was in her interest, but she also did that because she was trying to help Alex and this could be considered a kind of love.

''While I understand what you are trying to say, I'm sure I'm not in love with Alex, at least not yet. All began just with curiosity; I want to experience the emotion you all felt. You seemed genuinely happy every you're with him to the extent that I'm jealous, so I also want to experience the same thing, and more importantly, I want to be in the winning team. You guys won't stop here; you're planning to go to the higher world, and I want to be in. Please teach how to be human.'' Incursio declared at the end of her sentence and bowed her head.

Maria and the others were shocked; the purpose of this meeting was to create countermeasures against this white-haired girl; well, it was currently black. Incursio was not an enemy they could face without preparations; she was that strong.

They thought she came to mess up with them and their man, something they could not tolerate.

However, after talking to her, they understood that she was just like everyone, seeking love, especially that sentence she said at the end touched them to the core. She said, please teach me to be human; it was not a long sentence, but its meaning was tremendous. They could feel her sincerity through those words.

The five looked at each other for a moment before nodding.

''We will give you a chance, we will teach you how to become human, but there is something you must do, you sign a contract,'' Sakuya said while looking at Saeko; the latter immediately understood what she meant and nodded.

''Okay, I'll sign this contract, and once we are done, there's something I must show to let you know that you are not ready for the incoming calamity.'' Incursio nodded while at the same time telling them her next plan.

Maria and the others nodded before taking out two contracts, the same contract they signed during the harem discussion.

Saeko and Incursio signed the contract, and now they were ready to follow her. Incursio took out a teleportation scroll and crushed it; instantly, the group was enveloped by a dark blue light and vanished, and the next thing they saw was a forest.

The forest was colossal, dense, and ancient. Its canopy was dominated by hazel, linden, and beech, and occasional openings in their crowns allowed plenty of light through for scattered bushes to control the insect-riddled soils below.

Bundled tree limbs held onto most trees, and an array of flowers, which grew in a sprinkled and disorderly fashion, spruced up the otherwise uniform forest grounds.

A mixture of wild sounds, which birds and vermin caused, filled the air and were in harmony with the fish splashing in a nearby lake.

As the girls were lost observing the fish in the lake, Incursio called them out.

''Let's go. Be on your guard as I can become dangerous from now on.'' She told them, and the girls readied their weapons.

After walking for five kilometers, they stopped before a cliff. There was something there.

A modest dark cave on a murky cliffside marks the entrance to this dungeon. Beyond the dark cave lies a massive, worn room. It was covered in small bones, rubble, and small bones.

''Let's go in!" She told them.

The six entered this artificial dungeon.

Further ahead are two paths; Incursio took on the right. Its twisted trail leads passed lost treasuries, unknown rooms, and armories, and soon they entered a clammy area. There were several braziers scattered around; somehow, they were still burning.

They proceeded onwards, deeper into the dungeon's expanse, passing countless passages, each with twists, turns, and destinations. Finally, they eventually make it to what was likely the final room. A massive wooden door blocks their path. Countless runes are all over it.

It was at that moment they encountered monsters; no, it was failed experiments that had turned into monsters. The group easily killed them before proceeding into the final room, where they saw something that made them stop. It was the same thing Alex saw.

Two clouded eyes stare at them with a terrifying grimace, and another clamor resonates from its vile mouth in an abysmal surprise.

Four thin horns adorn its muscular head, which is devoid of expression. The sound of a roaring fire escapes the creature's convex nostrils within a massive nose.

Its muscular head sits atop a giant, fibrous body. Gaping wounds show an infernal fire within, perhaps the remnants of an encounter in a different world.

The creature was chained but was still trying to attack them; its two legs were lumberingly carrying its diabolical body. A powerful tail writhes behind it; coarse hairs cover it sporadically.

Still, the creature looks upon them, and a horrible grimace appears on its face.

''What the hell is this?" Saeko asked while falling on her butt.

Maria, Sakuya, Luna, and Maria's had dark faces. They were curious as well; they turned to face Incursio, the one who brought them here. Their eyes seemed to be asking the same thing.

'What the hell is this grotesque thing chained against an altar?'

Incursio chuckled before making a startling revelation.

''It's a demon.''

''What?" The girls were shocked, but their surprise had just begun.

''The weakest type, the Chaos organization, is trying to mass produce them. You will face them as well as monsters in the incoming war.''

The girls were so shocked that they could not immediately offer a reply.

Incursio knew this would happen when she brought them here and shook her head and told them the real purpose of their visit here; it was not only to tell them this.

''I want you to face it.''

Meanwhile, in the Foxia empire, Kuina ordered one of her maids to arrange a house for her incoming guests while she was busy elsewhere.

From the outside, this house looks very elegant. It had been built with red pine wood and had grey stone decorations. Large, octagon windows added to the overall look of the house and have been added to the house in a very asymmetric way.

The house had a modern kitchen and one large bathroom; it also had a spacious living room, six bedrooms, a spacious dining room, a library, and a snug basement.

The building was fairly rounded in shape. The house was fully surrounded by glass overhanging panels.

The second floor was more significant than the first, which creates a stylish overhang on one side of the house. This floor had roughly the same style as the floor below.

The roof was high and v-shaped and was covered with flat roof tiles. Two large chimneys sat on either side of the house. A few large windows let in just enough light to the rooms below the roof.

The house is surrounded by a tranquil garden, with various flowers, a long pond including a small waterfall, and various rock formations.

The maid Lisa was sure their guests would like this house she had picked.
