RISE OF EROS

Ayla used all her strength to reach the mountains she could see on the horizon and with a monumental effort, enduring the pain of her wounds, the exhaustion of running away all night, hunger, and thirst, she reached her destination.

Unfortunately, the journey drained her energy and shortly after arriving, she fell unconscious. Although it was not a safe place, Ayla succumbed to her wounds and exhaustion, so she could do nothing.

She had no perception of where she had landed, or where she was, as she had never traveled so far. It is true that she is a free spirit and would like to know the world, but due to her mother's warnings, she had never gone beyond the forest where she lived with her relatives.

Luckily for her, no animal, monster, or being with bad intentions found her. However, that does not mean that no one has found her. A group of succubi passing through the mountain on their way to the Heavenly Palace of the Demon Realm found her.@@novelbin@@

They were heading to the city where the Heavenly Palace of the Demon Realm was located, to attend the summons that Seraphine had made, to explain their new position and activities.

All the succubi under Seraphine's command were summoned and no one dared to miss it. The three succubi traveled through the mountain to avoid problems on their journey.

Although the mountain brought its own dangers, for the succubi, there was nothing more dangerous than the other demons. Being beautiful and seductive women, they were always seen as luxury items.

For the demons, succubi are like high-quality slaves, and seeing one traveling alone or in a small group like these three, was to awaken the evil intentions of those who saw them.

That's why all the succubi, when they traveled, did so in places with few people, like forests and mountains, to avoid the gaze of the unscrupulous and that was why they happened to find Ayla when they were passing through the mountain.

They were surprised to see what seemed to be someone's lifeless body, but they didn't run away. Succubi may not be fighters, but they weren't so cowardly as to run away from anything either.

Although they approached Ayla with caution and when they noticed that she was a badly injured harpy, they went to help. They may not know her and the succubi and harpies may not have any relation, but they were still moved to see the girl's youth.

Ayla, despite being over 20 years old, looked like a 15-year-old girl, so she looked young and that aroused sympathy among the three succubi. First, they made sure she was alive.

They then moved her to a place near a small river nearby and washed her body, cleaning off the blood and wounds. Lastly, they proceeded to heal her wounds with some ointments and potions they had.

Although these medicines were nothing special, they did their job, at least providing first aid. Ayla's expression had improved considerably, but she was still unconscious.

The succubi were not experts in medicine, so they just did what they could. Now they had another problem and that was what to do with her? They were already running against time so carrying her was complicated and waiting for her to wake up also had its problems.

If she woke up soon, there would be no problems, but if she didn't wake up in several days, they would be late and they didn't want to be punished for that. With this dilemma, they decided to split up.

It was a dangerous decision, but since they had taken the trouble to save her they wanted to take care of her until the end, so they gritted their teeth and took the risk. One of them ran to the city to report what had happened, while the other two looked after the unconscious Ayla.

Travelling alone, she was able to run at a faster speed. Fortunately, it wasn't too far away and she only had to travel for half a day before she saw the city in the distance. Although it was close, from this point things got dangerous.

Before reaching the city, she had to leave the forest and enter a large meadow, which would not allow her to hide, so it was the most dangerous area of ​​her journey. The demons of the city could see her and although very few would dare to mount an attack inside the city, outside of it the situation was different and that was what she feared.

Even so, she gritted her teeth and her hands, gathered her courage, and began to run at high speed towards the city. If she managed to enter before being attacked, it would be her victory, but that would take a few minutes.

Although the situation seemed dangerous, there were certain safeguards for the succubi in this city. If someone attacked her, she would only have to call for help by raising her aura to the maximum, as that would alert Seraphine.

She may not be the most powerful, but she was still a demigod, so few dared to bully her in this city, so when the succubi were in danger near the city they would raise their aura and wait for Seraphine to rescue them.

What she didn't know was that the situation had changed. Not only had the remains of the fallen god been removed from the demon realm, changing the violent mindset of the demons, but Andrew and Lucian's visit had changed things for the succubi.

Lucian had warned his student Balack, who is the ancestor and highest authority of the clan that rules these lands not to mess with Andrew and the succubi. In fact, he encouraged him to befriend them and take care of them, as it would bring him many benefits if he did so. Balack was a bit skeptical, but he still decided to believe him.

At first, his reluctance was because Andrew and his companions were weak, and he didn't think they would be of any help. Seraphine was the most powerful demigod, but she was also among the weakest.

However, Lucian was his teacher, even if he didn't recognize him as a student, and besides, Balack knew that Zaros was behind Lucian. If two powerhouses like them said that Andrew would bring him benefits, he had to believe it.

Although Lucian never said it was a message from Zaros, Balack knew how to read between the lines. When they met, Lucian had said that he was traveling as Andrew's protector under Zaros' orders, so whatever Lucian said was the same as Zaros' words.

The point is that Balack had already passed on his orders to leave the succubi and Andrew alone and even if they could protect them they would gain merits, which surprised many, but no one asked the reasons.

Because of this, this city is now the safest region for the succubi, but those who returned did not know this and that is why they did what they always did when they returned and that is run with all their strength towards the city avoiding trouble.

The succubus was running at high speed, but then she saw a unit of demon soldiers in the distance and immediately wrinkled her face, because she knew that she could not pass without them approaching and although the soldiers are more disciplined, they were still a threat to the succubus.
