San acted entirely on her own will, relying solely on the idea that "I think I should have a child."
The fourth is the human instinct to stimulate needs; they can manually turn it on and off, and it may not even be related to instinct.
Reaching a certain age means you feel that you've reached that age.
2. If you really don't want to, you don't need to have children for the rest of your life.
Experiments conducted on succubi nearing adulthood yielded a conclusion—
As long as there is sufficient magic power, succubi do not need to hunt.
Even needs that have always been considered "instincts" will not arise at all.
Just like the succubi in the territory of the [Succubus King], they never see a male creature in their entire lives.
Getting back to the main point, what An Yi wanted to experiment with this time was the thing she had thought of in the Earl's Domain last time;
If a regular level 10 succubus stays in an environment with abundant magic for a long time, will the succubus's rank increase?
Or, could their rank be increased by directly injecting magic power?
[Nightmare] The current succubi will fall behind in strength when they arrive in Earl's City. The only options are to either upgrade them or recruit more native succubi from the demon race.
Those succubi do not coexist with humans; they would perish even if a demon city were destroyed.
Even those who join know that by joining [Nightmare] they will never need to replenish their magic power for the rest of their lives.
Or perhaps they joined simply to survive.
Getting their absolute loyalty is probably not that simple.
Undeniably, the current Nightmare is extremely important to An Yi, and even to the future of the Chaos Demon.
The hero in his previous life did not have the Nightmare, yet he was still able to defeat the Demon King, so the Nightmare seems to be dispensable.
But now they've embarked on a completely different path, and the progress of the heroes' expeditions has already reached a level unimaginable in the same period of their previous lives.
It was the Nightmare that made Viscount Nightmare. If An Yi had relied solely on his own efforts, even if he had the power to become a lord, he would have had no time to manage his territory.
If Nightmare has no room for further advancement, it won't be a good thing for Viscount Nightmare.
Whether it's "Count of Nightmare," "Marquis of Nightmare," or "Duke of Nightmare," without the title "Nightmare," it's all just an empty name.
The [Territory Management] system alone cannot truly transform a territory into a place where heroes can roam.
"Lord of Dreams, shall I report on the actions of the heroes during this period?" Kanna asked respectfully.
“No need. I need to get back to Earl Elwin’s Domain before nightfall. I’m only here to conduct an experiment,” Annie said.
"Is this an experiment to see if underage succubi can give birth to the Dream Master's child? Although I haven't fully become an adult yet, if the Dream Master is willing..."
This seemingly serious and capable little succubus with her hair tied in a side ponytail began to unbutton her collar in a very formal manner.
“No, does this kind of experiment have any meaning in defeating the demons?” Annie asked.
“Yes, perhaps the child born to the Dream Master will be stronger than us.” Kanna’s pretty face was resolute, as if she were on a battlefield.
Annie: "The war will be over by the time the children grow up."
Kanna: "Indeed, the Dream Master is right."
But it certainly has experimental value, doesn't it?
As she spoke, she buttoned her clothes back up.
While verbally praising its experimental value, he had already accepted Jiu An Yi's statement. (8)
By the time the children grow up, the war will be over.
The experiment was certainly valuable, but it was of no value to the war effort.
Anyi observed something interesting: the succubi's mental desires and physical desires could be completely separated.
I used to think that succubi were creatures that would get excited once they had an idea.
In reality, they only think about it briefly, and even if they get excited, they may not necessarily trigger a physical reaction.
When someone acts like a starving ghost, it's simply because they're genuinely hungry.
It's entirely possible to control whether you're hungry or not.
“You’re not stupid; you should know that with the actions of the Chaotic Demons, the future of Nightmare is becoming increasingly bleak,” An Yi said.
“This…” Kanna only thought for a moment before understanding An’i’s words. “Yes, Lord Dream Master.”
As the heroes of [Chaos Demon] wage large-scale battles against demons across the entire demon realm's borders, their strength will increase rapidly.
In the foreseeable future, the heroes will soon reach the maximum that Viscount City can improve upon, and then venture deeper into Earl City.
Based on the current situation, [Nightmare] will be unable to continue providing in-depth assistance to the heroes' actions in the future.
It's not that it's completely incapable of supporting [the Nightmare], but it's limited to the administration of Viscount cities. In Earl cities above that, [Nightmare] is basically useless against the actions of [Chaos Demon].
Perhaps they can help An'i manage the territory, but only after the heroes have conquered the Earl's city.
But the greatest use of the [Dream∥》Noon∪∽! ∽Umbrella≯缌'Two Yu〔:Cold○:Nightmare] for the heroes is to carry out various intelligence work during the expedition!
"Yes, that's why we need a stronger succubus."
"Should we give birth to it?"
"Get out if you waste any more time."
"Yes, Lord Dream Master, I'm sorry."
An Yi continued, “I have the power to transfer the magic of the territory to you.”
However, before obtaining the title of viscount, he used the magic of the baron city.
Baron City only has low-level demons of level six or seven, and the concentration of magic is even lower.
So I was thinking, if I transferred the magic of Viscount City to you, would it improve your abilities?
Succubi have a magic power of up to 300 points, but the awkward thing is that their magic power cannot be used for attack or defense.
Upon arriving in Earl's City, demons with magic power exceeding 200 points were a common sight.
The smaller the difference in magical power, the less effective the charm.
Moreover, demons at this level have already reached a certain level of skill.
They only need to resist the charm for a second before they can react and instantly kill the physically weak succubus.
To put it bluntly, crush them to death.
It's those 300 points of magic that allow the succubi to still shine in Viscount City.
Furthermore, since succubi only have the "Charm" skill, their high magic power attribute is purely a waste.
If these 300 points of magic power were given to a demon who could fight normally, they would be able to roam freely in the Earl's City.
A little bit of attribute to the body is enough; the attack and defense provided by 300 points of magic power mean you don't need to worry about strength or resilience.
In a succubus, it has no use other than for hunting.
"I am willing to become the Dream Master's test subject, even if it means my death," Kanna said solemnly.
“It’s not that easy to die,” Annie said. (Search: $×瞴妻§∧[¢『·4§|咝∩'饵)
If magic can't be injected, it simply can't be injected. I've already tested it before, and there's absolutely no risk of it bursting.
A succubus's body isn't a balloon that will burst if it gets too inflated; it's more like... a cup.
A cup can only hold so much water. If there's too much, it will just overflow. The cup won't burst because of too much water.
"It'll be over soon, don't worry, just like before," Annie said, while operating the system.
As one of her chosen confidantes, Kanna naturally also received the infusion of magic.
A succubus's magic power will continuously decrease, but it will automatically be fully restored once she returns to the Baron's Domain, allowing her to function normally for a long time again.
It's as if the Baron Domain automatically memorizes some instructions; whenever An Yi designates a succubus in the system, the Baron Domain will automatically replenish their mana upon their return.
I opened [Magic Management] and checked the magic concentration in the territory.
Indeed, the concentration of magic was highest around the lord's manor.
An Yi naturally wouldn't appear openly in the lord's mansion. Nightmare was also operating in the shadows, so the magic power needed to be redirected to the secret area where Nightmare members gathered.
There's no need to worry about the heroes discovering this, as most of them cannot sense the changes in the magic concentration among the demons.
Even the Demon Warrior, Rox, could only detect the anomaly in the magic power, but could not determine the cause.
Besides, she's not here right now.
The demons might be able to find out, but An Yi will move the magic back after completing the experiment, and then move Nightmare to a different location, so they won't be able to investigate anything.
The magic is further concentrated and then transferred.
Within the Viscount's city, magic began to flow rapidly.
The first thing to notice was the large number of high-ranking demons within the city.
It wasn't that they were particularly sensitive to magic power, but rather that the magic power in their area had suddenly become thinner. How could they not know?!
The fresh air suddenly turned foul, and the fresh smell instantly turned into a putrid stench. Anyone could tell that something was wrong.
Next is…
"Distribute magic to the succubi within the territory: Kanna."
Don't worry about having the same name; An'i's order is to allocate magic to the succubus in front of her.
Kanna could also feel the change in the concentration of magic power, and she could also feel that the magic power she had consumed was immediately replenished.
So far, it can only be concluded that the [Dream Master] transferred the magic of the territory to her.
She didn't sense anything unusual.
But from An's perspective, a change occurred—
On Kanna's panel, her attributes were actually improving!
A few seconds after my mana was fully restored, my original [Mana: 300] became [Mana: 301]!
Due to the change in her magic attribute, Kanna's maximum magic power is also increasing.
However, judging from Kanna's reaction, she didn't seem to realize the changes in herself.
