The system began to go haywire as Lithara was on top of Strax, imposing her strength. With every second he felt the Queen Succubus\' aura penetrate his body, he was becoming stronger and stronger.
His body was undergoing an internal evolution that neither he nor anyone in this world could even begin to comprehend.
The growing pressure of Strax\'s energy was almost unbearable, a weight that seemed to stretch the limits of his own flesh and bones.
Lithara, atop him, seemed to absorb every wave of his increasing strength, her eyes glowing with pure obsession. She gripped his shoulders with a ravenous force, but instead of weakening him, it seemed to only accelerate the metamorphosis occurring within his body.
Strax felt demonic energy boiling through his veins, completely replacing what was once human mana. His senses expanded, and his skin felt more resilient, as if it had fused with the relentless vigor of a primordial creature. Every cell in his body screamed with new vitality, and he began to perceive the insane power pulsing inside him.
Suddenly, he opened his eyes, eyes that were once ordinary now seeing everything around him, the [Dragon Eyes] ability automatically activated.
Lithara barely had time to react when he, with a firm motion, grabbed her by the shoulders and tossed her away effortlessly.
"Get off me." He said as he rose.
She was thrown like a chaotic shadow and landed several meters away, but instead of showing surprise or anger, Lithara simply began to laugh with an insane, deep voice, almost demonic.
"Fufufu... Finally..." she whispered as her eyes glowed red, watching the man before her. "So much potential! I knew something was wrong! A King is still a King!"
She rose, her body surrounded by an aura of black and purple energy that rippled like a storm around her.
"KUKUKUKU" Her laughter echoed through the environment, she seemed completely insane, as if she were on the edge of uncontrollable ecstasy.
Lithara\'s fingers trembled with excitement as she gazed at Strax with an almost religious adoration, mixed with overwhelming madness.
Strax, however, felt nothing but an unshakable calm. His mind was cold, every thought sharp and clear like a blade. He stood completely upright, his body slightly stiff, as though he no longer had control over it and was waking from a deep slumber. His presence had also changed drastically... surpassing even Lithara\'s.
For the first time, he felt that her power was not something to fear or respect, but something he could subjugate effortlessly.
"Is that all?" he murmured, looking at his hands, flexing his fingers as if testing his own power. The air around Strax seemed to vibrate with his presence, an overwhelming pressure forcing everything around him to bend.
[Defeat the Succubus Queen – Lithara]
The message reappeared, this time the color of the notification had changed, the entire window was now completely pink and gold. This was the first time Strax had seen this pattern, but he barely had time to think about it.
Lithara rushed toward him with dizzying speed, her claws ready to pierce his skin. She let out a wild scream as her demonic energy intensified, forming a layer almost tangible around her. For her, each step toward Strax was an affirmation of her obsession, an insatiable thirst to possess the new power he radiated.
"Strax!" she screamed like a maniac obsessed. "You are mine! I won\'t let anyone take what\'s mine!"
She lunged, unleashing a barrage of claw strikes wrapped in pure demonic energy. Each strike seemed capable of shattering mountains, but Strax remained impassive. When Lithara was just a step away from reaching his face, he raised a single hand and, with a controlled movement, grabbed her fist.
The explosion of energy when they collided made the ground shake, but Strax barely felt the impact. He looked at Lithara with an expression that seemed cold and superior, while her force dissipated against the palm of his hand. It was as if all the intensity of her attack was absorbed and nullified effortlessly.
Lithara\'s eyes widened in surprise and desire. She was breathing heavily, a manic smile carved on her face. For her, this was the height of excitement; finally, Strax was proving himself worthy, strong enough to face her, perhaps even to dominate her.
"Is that what you wanted, Lithara?" he murmured with a cutting calm. "All this because you wanted to dominate me, or be dominated... Are you happy now?" Strax questioned.
She laughed, a sound full of obsession and euphoria. "You don\'t understand, Strax. I want you whole. I want to consume this power, but at the same time, I want to see how far you can go. It\'s a dance I don\'t want to end."
He pushed her away, but this time, Lithara didn\'t give up. She stabilized herself and smiled, even more deranged. Her eyes glowed with an insane possessive gleam, as if every moment with Strax only increased her desire to have him under her control.
Strax felt a wave of disdain and disgust mixed with a strange satisfaction. Her strength was insignificant now; he could feel that clearly. Lithara, as powerful as she was, was beneath him, like a mere shadow compared to the brilliance of his new power.
\'What a crazy woman, I kind of like her... this possessiveness...\' he thought, smiling. \'Though she\'s a little mad, she\'s very beautiful...\' He continued to analyze.
"Alright... Let\'s do this." He said, smiling. "Come."
Lithara let out a deafening scream and launched herself at him, her claws crackling with pure destructive energy. But this time, Strax didn\'t even need to move. He stood still, observing her attack with unrelenting calm. When Lithara\'s claws approached again, he easily caught them, his hand completely enveloping hers.
"Enough, Lithara." His voice was firm and commanding. "There\'s nothing more you can do against me."
She let out an insane laugh, trying to force her power against him, but Strax only increased the pressure of his hand. Lithara\'s face began to show signs of pain and disbelief. The obsession in her eyes now mixed with fear.
"This is... impossible..." she murmured, still trying to resist.
"Possess or Be Possessed, remember?" Strax questioned Lithara, and upon hearing this, she hesitated for the first time. The insane possessiveness in her eyes began to give way to an expression of shock. She tried to release her hand, but Strax\'s strength was unrelenting. He moved closer to her, his overwhelming presence completely swallowing hers.
"And now?" he whispered, leaning in until their faces were close. "Who\'s going to possess who, here?" He asked, smiling.
She couldn\'t respond. Instead, a gleam of resignation and a sinister smile overtook her face. Even in defeat, Lithara still showed a strange satisfaction, as if the defeat had only solidified her obsession.
"If this is how it is... then... I will watch you. I\'ll watch everything you become, Strax. And in the end..." She smiled, even more insane. "We\'ll still be together, won\'t we?"
"HAHAHAHA" He released her, and Lithara fell to her knees, her expression still confident enough to captivate him. "Alright, if that\'s what you want. Come, let\'s get out of here." Strax said, his voice firm and amused.
Lithara smiled, and her eyes glowed like embers. Slowly, she stood up, her black wings spreading around her. Without hesitation, she floated gently, wrapping her arms around Strax\'s neck in a possessive embrace.
"I knew you wouldn\'t resist your queen..." she whispered in his ear, her voice sweet and dangerous, like a hypnotic melody.
[You have completed the 10th Key]
[You have completed the Secret Level: The Succubus Queen]
[You have completely dominated Lithara, the Succubus Queen]
"Look at that... and my reward?" Strax questioned mentally to the System, and then another notification appeared, just like the previous one, the message box was pink and gold.
[Due to the completion of [Dominate or Be Dominated], the reward ability [Familiar Summoning] has been updated to [Summoning Queen Lithara], now it is possible to bring Lithara into the human world as a Demonic Familiar]
Strax read the message and gave a slight smile before remembering something... \'Holy shit... now there are four in my head? My mental world is going to explode...\'
