Chapter 263: Summoning Lily Again

That night, the four of us talked about our experiences with our first days. Asty spent all day in classes trying to learn.

I heard about David talk about his first day in a trading company which he accepted tutelage under to one day take over and how that went.

And as for Ash, she also went to school, but not at the Institute. She still went to a rather esteemed place of learning, just not one as prestigious or notable as The Gilded Ophidian Institute. She was learning general magic.

When it got to my first day, they were all shocked. But they didn’t cause as much of an uproar about it like they normally would.

They were still baffled by the fact that I basically was admitted as a Platinum rank adventurer and the fact that I was able to casually defeat a Superior Succubus without a fuss.

Which reminded me again, I still need to resummon Lilyvyn. I also had to apologise to Eric later this week also.

With that in mind, I made the decision to tell my friends my secret. I brought them to my room to reveal it.

"Traytora, is everything okay? You brought us all to your room, but why exactly?" Ash inquired as I locked my door.

"Yeah, you seem to be acting rather strange all of a sudden after dinner." David stated the obvious but he was clearly worried.

"Tora, is everything okay?" Asty asked, she was the most unsettled by my sudden actions.

She looks up to me like a big sister and seeing me act so off is clearly having an effect on her.

"Yeah, everything’s fine, I just... I’ve been keeping things from you."

David was perplexed by my words, and replied with, "That’s... Normal?" Though his words seemed uncertain as he pulled his head back as if questioning himself.

"I know that everyone has things they want to hide from others, but I have a lot to hide. Many things in fact."

"And? I’ve clearly got things to hide." Ash said to me in an attempt to comfort me.

"Again, I know. But... I feel like I should tell you this now or else you might despise me for it later."

"Well, what is it then?" David spurred me on to reveal it already.

I took a deep breath and started to explain, "You might not have noticed, but I’m only half Naga."

"Really? You could’ve fooled me."

"DAVID!"

"What?"

Before David and Ash could get into an argument, I coughed to get their attention.

"As for my other half, that part is Succubus blood."

"What’s a Succubus?" Asty asked as she raised her hand.

"You... Don’t know what a succubus is? Actually, that kind of makes sense you not knowing." David asked back at her before tracking back a little.

"No... I don’t know a lot..."

"That’s okay little Asty, you’ll grow to learn a lot in the future and become spart like me and your big sis Tora." Ash came up behind her and comforted her with soothing words and a hug.

"Hey!" David belatedly called out after realising that he wasn’t included in that comforting statement.

"Pfft!" That seemed to make Asty laugh and lighten up the mood again.

David scoffed and didn’t push further since he knew he wouldn’t win.

"But still, a Succubus huh? Never would’ve expected that." He commented, trying to get out of the awkward situation he found himself in.

"That’s not what I brought you here to tell you." I interrupted.

"Then what did you wanna tell us?" Asty asked curiously, notably less worried after hearing that I was only telling them something private and personal. I think.

"What I wanted to tell you all is something related to what I just said."

"Which is?"

"My father, who is the one that gave me my Succubus bloodline, is actually..." I was hesitant to say this because I was scared of what they might say or have to say about it.

"Well go on, spit it out or we’ll never know and this will keep on eating you up from the inside." David said a little impatiently, but he was right. It was now or never.

"My father is actually Asmodeus, one of the seven kings of biblical Hell and the Overlord of [Lust]. There I said it."

"..."

"..."

"..."

They all went silent.

Asty obviously had no idea who that was given how little she was taught.

David’s brain seemed to have stopped working instantaneously.

And Ash’s mind seemed to be overworking itself as she tried to process my words.

They all seemed rather unresponsive, so I went off to the side so that I could summon and introduce them to Lilyvyn, using her Demon Core as an anchor point for her summoning.

As I drew on my power to perform the summoning ritual, Asty quickly came out of her revery since she didn’t know anything about it and came over to ask what I was doing.

"Tora, what’s this?" She peered over the summoning circle as I made it.

"Summoning my first friend..." That felt wrong, but I couldn’t tell why that was the case.

Either way, I continued pouring power into the summoning circle as it began to glow a bright pink before it took on a darker and deeper shade.

The summoning circle then exploded into a puff of pink smoke as the light resided and Lilyvyn stepped out of the circle, which was also now fading.

And as she stepped out, I could tell that something was different about her. Her looks and assets had become a lot rounder and more defined and just overall a lot sexier, but she still retained that cuteness about her.

I could also see that her wings were bigger than before, or did she not have wings last time? I can’t quite remember. Either way, her succubus features had become a lot more prominent also.

"Took you long enough." She remarked with a pout as she crossed her arms and propped up her chest, which drew Asty’s attention.

I ignored her antsy behaviour and instead asked, "Have you evolved or something?"

"Oh, you noticed! Why yes, I have! Lord Asmodeus graced me with the resources to evolve into a True Succubus!" She exclaimed as she suddenly got into a pose that showed off her new features.

Those features being her enlarged breasts, hips and ass. They didn’t grow too much in size, only by about one size or so. Then there was her tail, which actually looked to be a fair bit longer and thicker than before.

As for her wings, they seemed to have moved upward to her upper back and become twice as big now. I’m finally starting to remember her former appearance.

"So, what do you think?" She asked with a cheeky little smile on her face.

And before I could answer, I heard a loud thud from behind me. And turning back to see what it was, I saw David face first, flat out on the floor.

It seems t hat he saw Lilyvyn and fainted upon seeing her make that pose.

I looked over to see Ash also looking over, but her brain seemed to have also stopped functioning upon seeing Lily also.

"So, who exactly are these people? And where are we?"

Oh, I should probably explain shouldn’t I?" I then proceeded to explain to Lily where we were and what was currently happening and who these people were.

Asty said introduced herself and said hi, to which Lily started to fawn over her adorableness.

I also told her about the Superior Succubus incident from earlier.

"I see, I see... If you want, I could deal with the succubus and make sure she doesn’t cause any more trouble if you want." Lily offered with a strange confidence.

"How would you do that though? No offence, but aren’t you like, a lower rank than her?" I pointed out.

"Oh don’t worry, I’m not a normal True Succubus, I’m a True Noble Succubus!" She declared proudly.

"... What’s that?" Asty asked ignorantly but still very cutely.

"Yeah, even I don’t know what that is." I could probably find out from that book of lust but I don’t want to bring that up now.

"Well, I didn’t have the necessary requirements to properly evolve into a True Succubus, so Lord Asmodeus gave me some resources that would turn me into a Noble variant, which allows me to not require as many requirements to evolve. After that, he had someone help me get the souls and energy needed and then boom, here I am!"

"Huh... So, what does being a Noble variant actually do for you?"

"Well, for one, I’m immune to influence from those of a higher evolution than me, and can even command them to a degree. Though, the more powerful they are, the more they can resist my commands. That’s kind of it really. I heard that there’s more I can obtain when I next evolve though."
