[CH.1] The Holy Knight Who Became a Succubus ①

"Die! Demon!"

The dazzling golden sword pierced into the chest of the young girl in front. When it was pulled out again, warm crimson liquid sprayed out, splattering on the knight's armor.

The knight, with an unchanged expression, watched as the girl fell backward. He casually shook the sword to remove the blood sticking to the blade, then sheathed it.

"You have been struck by my sword, death is certain." Leaving behind this indifferent remark, I turned around and walked toward the palace.

"Cough, cough, cough... Truly a noble knight... My seduction... surprisingly had no effect on you..."

A weak voice came from behind. The beautiful body of the girl began to disintegrate, and golden light emanated from every inch of her skin, breaking through the flesh and tearing apart her body.

That delicate figure was about to vanish in the blink of an eye.

"Because I believe in the God of Light. The divine radiance will dispel your evil."

The knight coldly replied, and upon hearing this, the succubus behind him laughed out loud. "The Holy Light? Hehehe... Is that so? This lady would like to see how steadfast your faith truly is."

The girl finally coughed up a mouthful of blood, and then her body was engulfed by the golden light, disintegrating into ashes. In the last moment before her disappearance, a mysterious smile appeared on her face.

"Lord Kieran, how did it go?" 

At the moment Kieran stepped out of the palace, a group of people surrounded him. They were knights of the Holy See, a nun, and mages who participated in the expedition.

The succubus, among the demonic species, had the weakest combat ability, but as a member of the demon race, succubus possessed special abilities to enchant the minds of people. Therefore, those who set out to subjugate succubus had to be individuals with unwavering inner devotion to the Holy Light and extreme loyalty to the Pope. Only by wholeheartedly believing in this power could one resist the succubus's temptation.

However, there were those who failed, such as the leader of the Third Knights. In the previous expedition, the former Grand Knight, who was in charge, had failed and been corrupted by the succubus, becoming a puppet of the enemy.

To Kieran, this was a great shame. The leader of that knight order had insulted the Holy Light. People often said succubus were powerful, but in Kieran's view, it was because those individuals lacked sufficient sincerity and devotion to the Holy Light and the Pope, leading to the wavering of their hearts and eventual descent into becoming puppets of the demon race.

Now, Kaelan had finally erased this insult. He could proudly declare that succubus were not unbeatable.

"Subjugation successful."

"That's great! Truly worthy of Lord Kieran!"

"Lord Kieran, are you injured?"

The people around Kieran cast admiring glances at him, but he coldly snorted in his heart, "Hmph... truly a bunch of children."

"How are the people in the palace?"

This was not the territory of succubus, it was the palace of a humanoid nation. The Holy See received information that a succubus with royal blood had taken over the palace, corrupting all members of the royal family.

"Most of the men are dead, but the women have survived."

"Dead?"

Even Kieran couldn't help but be surprised by the answer. Generally, succubus preferred men as their food, and after capturing a city or territory, they would usually keep the men captive, given that succubus were alluring women and could easily evoke the desires of men.

But why did this succubus occupying the palace kill all the men? Could it be that her taste was unique?

"This succubus seems a bit unusual?"

Kieran turned his head slightly, looking towards the palace. Unfortunately, there was no chance to inquire about that succubus now.

"How should we deal with those who survived?"

"Kill! The charges are... conspiring with the demon race to attack the Holy See and betraying humanity."

Without hesitation, Kieran spoke. The people here were of a lower race, descendants of the beast tribe. They did not deserve the protection of the Holy Light. As outsiders who had occupied fertile land, they should be eradicated. It was convenient to use the excuse of their allegiance with the demon race to kill the royal family. If the people of this country resisted, it would provide even more justification for wiping them out.

Otherwise, killing them without reason would tarnish the reputation of the Holy See.

"I understand, Lord Knight."

"Nothing much. I'll head back now."

Although succubus were easy to defeat, the human powerhouses charmed by her around her had caused me quite a bit of trouble. Now that my strength was depleted, I needed to return and rest.

"Very well, Lord Knight, please take care."

Ignoring their salutes, Kieran mounted his horse and returned to his temporary residence, the most luxurious hotel in the capital. He would spend his last night here, and tomorrow he would find an opportunity to execute those beastmen before returning to the Holy See.

Entering the room, Kieran removed his blood-stained armor and then spoke towards the direction of the bedroom, "Come out. Don't hide."

"Knight... Lord, hello."

The door to the bedroom opened, and with a weak voice, a girl's head slowly peeked out from the doorway, looking at Kieran with some fear.

"Why are you in my room?"

With white long hair and a pair of beast ears shaking on top of her head due to fear, it was evident that she was a native of this country. A race that hadn't undergone civilization, still retaining beast-like features. Kieran didn't find it cute, instead, he felt disgusted.

"Lord Knight, please, I beg you to spare the people in the palace."

"The news spreads quite fast, doesn't it? I just finished speaking at the palace, and you already knew? Or did you anticipate that I would execute the royal family, so you came here in advance to plead for mercy?"

"Lord Knight... we really haven't colluded with the demon race. I beg you to spare my people, as long as you spare..."

After saying this, the girl revealed an expression that seemed to be full of determination. She bit her lip and pushed the door open completely.

Not wearing any clothes, the captivating figure of the young girl was fully displayed in front of Kieran. Due to her beast lineage, her proportions were unusually perfect, her skin was fair, and most importantly, she had a fluffy white cat tail behind her. Because of nervousness, it tightly wrapped around her thigh on one side.

"Lord, as long as you promise, I... I..."

Before the catgirl could finish her sentence, Kieran sharply interrupted her, "Do you think I would be interested in someone of your lowly race? I only feel disgust! Get out! If you dare appear in front of me again, I'll kill you!"

After speaking, Kieran unsheathed his sword, making a sound that startled the catgirl. Her two ears, which were originally lying flat on her head, immediately stood up like they were on alert, then softened and laid flat again.

"Lord, I beg you..."

Tears welled up in the girl's eyes, and her fair body couldn't help but tremble. She was terrified but still pleading with the knight before her.

She feared death but wanted to save her kin.

"Three counts, if you don't leave, you die!"

Golden flames ignited on the sword, and a murderous intent gradually appeared in Kieran's eyes. He was not joking, growing up in the Holy See, he was indoctrinated with extreme ideologies, fostering strong racial prejudice and hatred towards the demon race. As for these half-human races, he found them repulsive.

Seeing Kaelan in this state, the catgirl finally resigned herself. She wiped her tears and picked up her clothes from the side, then climbed out through the window.

"A lowly half-human, do you think you're worthy of sharing a bed with me?"

Kieran already had a chosen partner, the saint arranged by the Pope. However, there was no emotional connection between Kieran and the woman. Their purpose together was to give birth to a child with a highly pure divine bloodline, ensuring that the child would have a stronger affinity with the Holy Light.

In Kieran's view, this was what the progeny of the Holy Light should do—resist being controlled by desires, continue the sacred lineage, and dedicate everything to the Holy See.

Regardless of what others thought, Kieran was determined to uphold this doctrine! Because it was his belief!

【Oh my, why are you treating the poor girl like this? Look at how sad she's crying. If it were me, I'd definitely pounce on such a pretty girl at the first opportunity and, hehehe... devour her completely.】

Just as Kieran was undressing to prepare for a bath, a familiar voice suddenly popped into his mind.
