Si Zi came to the Demon Clan to establish an organization and expand his power, wasn't it all for his own use and to gain his trust?
However... as the organization grows stronger, the other side may become more vigilant.
Unlike Mel, who is loyal to Anyi, all the succubi in the organization are centered around Mel.
Mel is their true leader, while the "Sword Master" is more like a "god" or a "totem".
Because the one who told Mel that she should resist was [Sword Master].
The succubi acted for the common goal of "the future of succubi".
Therefore, it's not as simple as just gaining An Yi's trust in himself and the organization.
It is also essential to ensure that An Yi gains the trust of all members.
It's like trusting her.
……but.
There is an even simpler and more direct way.
"The Sword Master has already entered the Demon Realm," Mel said, looking up.
Both succubi were startled at the same time.
They both realized that Mel's earlier outburst was because of this.
Then he was immediately surprised;
"Sword Master... has entered the Demon Realm? But we haven't received any news about it," one of the succubi said.
They're usually in charge of compiling intelligence, so they couldn't possibly be unaware of something this big!
“If he doesn’t want us to know, then we won’t know,” Mel said calmly.
"?!!"
The two succubi suddenly realized something.
How could the Sword Master, a top figure in the human realm, so easily bypass their vast intelligence network and infiltrate the demon realm?!
Is this the power of the Sword Master?!
"But...that letter..."
"This was after he contacted our members, and then allowed that member to stay."
This is the signal he's giving us.
If he really wanted to hide everything, the member who sent the letter would already be dead.
"We can't even find out who killed him," Mel said.
Upon hearing this, the two succubi gasped through their noses, their backs straightening instinctively.
"Yes, since the other side has already bypassed their intelligence network, killing one of their intelligence agents would be a piece of cake."
They deliberately left traces for them!
"Mother, what did the letter say? Can we know?" the succubus asked.
Rather than recounting its contents, it would be more accurate to say...
This is a test from the Sword Master for us.
Lu entered the Demon Realm without our knowledge; this is our first test.
We failed.
We have not been able to get any news about him.
"Now, it is time for our second test."
The Sword Master and his companions purchased a large number of magical items that concealed magical power. It is estimated that their next step is to delve deeper into the demon realm.
However, the letter did not specify the direction he left in.
In other words, his next test for us is to find him while he and his companions conceal their magic and delve into the demon realm.
This is yet another test, a test of our capabilities.
Mel folded the letter and placed it on the table.
The letter mentioned that Becky was originally unable to find Annie, but Annie would move around the city almost every day with a companion who had high magical power.
Seeing this, there's no doubt that it's because An Yi failed their first test that the other party took the initiative to appear in their sight.
Moving around the city was a way of attracting their attention.
……and many more!
Is this also part of the test?
Without this intelligence agent, it only proves that her organization is utterly useless!
He was only wandering around the city because he assumed there were members of an organization there!
Thinking of this, Mel suddenly felt a chill run down his spine.
Fortunately, I had also planted intelligence agents in remote border cities.
"Mother, the arrival of the Sword Master was not entirely unexpected, was it?"
"The Saintess Squad in human territory has been quiet for some time now, while news of other heroes entering the demon realm is frequently coming in," the succubus said.
Before Mel could speak, another succubus said, "Even so, we still didn't notice."
Mel shook his head: "The test has failed. There's no going back, and there's no going back."
Since there were already signs, our failure to notice them was our mistake.

"Don't dwell on what you've missed."
What we need to do now is figure out how to pass the next test.
And then... we welcomed him back.
He is my master.
Yes, it's about people who can guide us and lead us to a better future.
"MaiMai, Sarah, I'm going to the city where the Sword Master appeared, to help me prepare."
"Yes!"
The two succubi left the room quickly to mobilize the members, leaving Mel alone in the room.
She stared blankly at the letter on the table, lost in thought;
Perhaps none of the members understood why she was so loyal to a hero she had only met once.
the reason is simple.
It wasn't just that the man saw through the future; it was also because of his guidance that Mel became who she is today.
If she hadn't met An Yi, she would still be in that human city, earning a pittance, living an ordinary life, and drifting towards her demise.
To her, An Yi was like a god.
Everything she had came from An Yi.
Therefore, she also wants to personally hand everything over to An Yi!
……
The city, ravaged by war, was reduced to ruins.
The city walls, the houses, and even the once smooth streets looked as if they had been plowed up; the entire city had been turned upside down.
This is the [Sword Demon Castle], which was once conquered by humans.
The demon residents of the city never imagined that, after only a few days of recovery, they would be attacked and destroyed by humans for the second time.
They never had a chance to imagine it, because 80% of the demons in this city perished in various large-scale magical attacks.
On a street that was somewhat smooth but charred black, two petite figures, one tall and one short, wearing cloaks and hoods, were walking slowly.
Surrounded by massive abandoned buildings, the two figures appeared as tiny as ants.
"Roar—!!"
Suddenly, a tall demon with half its body covered in blood and gore, humanoid in form with sharp claws and teeth, and a bluish-gray body, rushed out from the nearby ruins!
It needs to regain its strength! It needs food!
Food!!
"Hooray—Delicious child!!"
At this point, anything edible will be stuffed into the mouth of demons, not just young demons, but even babies. Demons don't have that many moral concepts!
"Disappear." One of the taller figures said, his lips slightly parted.
The giant demon that pounced was only halfway there when it turned into scattered ashes in mid-air.
The fly ash continued to decompose and collapse, until finally not a trace of ash remained.
The demons just now seemed to have vanished from the face of the earth, leaving not even a trace of blood.
"Hehe~~ It's incredible that humans, such a weak race that's not even as good as ants, can turn this place into this." The childish voice chuckled.
"Yeah! How did they do that? That's amazing!" another slightly hoarse, young voice chimed in.
"First there was a bang! Then a clang! And then it turned into this."
Want to see? If you do, I'll destroy the whole city behind it and show you!
"But it won't look good if it's ruined, will it?"
"Okay~~"
Even the city lord of Black Crow City was unaware that he had just escaped a calamity from humanity, and that the city had almost vanished from the demon realm in an instant.
It felt a chill on its head, and knew it was about to have nightmares for days to come.
"This is the city that was first conquered by humans... There's nothing left to investigate now, since it's already become like this."
