After reaching level 20, Rai felt a strong surge within him. A new power pulsed through his body, signaling that it was time to awaken his third khodam. This time, he decided to seek assistance from Vanguard, especially Nadien, who was always ready to support him in crucial moments.
In a special ritual chamber, Nadien stood by Rai's side, paying close attention. Magical energy began to radiate as Rai concentrated his power to summon the next khodam. Slowly, a magic circle formed on the floor, glowing in shades of pink and purple.
As the summoning process reached its peak, the light burst softly, and before them appeared an extraordinary, enchanting woman. She had a beautiful face, a highly seductive figure, and an irresistible charm. The most striking features were the two pink horns on top of her head, which turned out to be extremely sensitive. On her back were soft, alluring pink wings, also highly sensitive to touch. Behind her, a long tail with a heart-shaped tip swayed gracefully, filled with delicate nerves that made it incredibly sensitive.
However, the Succubus could hide her horns, wings, and tail within her body, appearing completely human. Unfortunately, while in human form, she could not use her magical abilities, essentially becoming an ordinary human.
Now transformed into the Succubus, Rai was stunned. A strange feeling washed over him. He couldn't fathom why he had summoned such a lustful demon, especially when his previous two khodams were celestial beings known for their purity.

4. Kiss of Enchantment
A close-range attack that absorbs energy and traps the target in a seductive illusion, allowing the Succubus to strike or vanish.
Seeing the Succubus's status screen and noticing that it had the name Lilith, Rai decided that he would use the name Lilith whenever he took on the form of the Succubus khodam.
What intrigued him the most was that Lilith's skills had completely different elements compared to his previous khodams.
The part that made him particularly happy was the Shadow Tendrils, capable of absorbing life energy. He couldn't help but feel curious about how it worked and decided he would have to test it on an alien later.
As for the other skill, he figured he would only use it in desperate situations. That's because the ability required lip-to-lip contact, or in other words, a kiss.
Nadien just sighed.
"Too bad it's not Saturn or Uranus. Ah, we couldn't get a planet that's closer."
"Alright, let me check the data on Planet Istarian."
After a moment, Nadien displayed the information.
"Here it is. Planet Istarian is a mysterious planet enveloped in dark clouds, making external observation difficult. There is no sun there, and inside, it is inhabited by numerous demon-type aliens. The planet itself is approximately 5.5 times the size of the Sun."
The Sun's diameter is about 109 times that of Earth.
If Istarian is 5.5 times the size of the Sun, it would be approximately:
5.5 × 109 = 599.5 times the size of Earth.
Therefore, Planet Istarian is roughly 600 times larger than Earth.
"Wow, that's huge!" Lilith exclaimed, imagining the massive planet.
Nadien, however, misunderstood Lilith's reaction.
"Yeah, just like the giants on your chest making it way heavier. Must be a new and pretty big experience for you, huh?" Nadien teased with a smirk.
"Ah!" Lilith yelped, instinctively trying to cover her chest. Unfortunately, her hands were much smaller than expected, barely covering anything.
"Ugh... just pretend that didn't happen," Lilith muttered, blushing slightly.
"Look, this is another use of the new Vanguard web that was just built," Nadien said, showing the screen.
"See, I'm typing in the search bar: 'Planet'."
Mars: Rai (Khodam Angel)
Jupiter: Rai (Khodam Valkyrie)
Istarian: Tifania (Winged Demon), Alfo (Hell Demon), Dicki (Tentacle Demon)
"Look, you have three companions who also have khodams connected to Istarian. So, during your exploration, you can always ask your seniors for help."
"Wow, that makes it much easier! By the way, Mars and Jupiter—are my khodams the first to be linked to them?" Lilith asked curiously.
"Yes, with this Vanguard search tool, you might find someone in the future who has awakened a khodam connected to Mars or Jupiter," Nadien replied.
"Ah, that means I'm a senior now!" Lilith exclaimed, lifting her chin proudly.
"Or maybe just a junior compared to level 80 veterans who have awakened their ninth khodam, which just so happens to be linked to Mars or Jupiter," Nadien teased, making Lilith feel like she was splashed with cold water.
"Ah, how old are they? Level 80 veterans?" Lilith asked, still in disbelief.
"The youngest is around 35 years old. But don't worry, khodam energy preserves youth and extends the lifespan of khodam users," Nadien explained.
"Extending lifespan? Now I'm curious—who's the oldest khodam user on Earth?" Lilith asked.
"According to history, the khodam era began around 2,000 years ago. There are rumors of three powerful generals from Indonesia: General Joko, General Bowo, and General Nusantara. They are known to possess khodams surpassing level 3,000 and have been around since the beginning of the khodam era. That means they are over 2,000 years old, though the Vanguard web doesn't list their exact ages."
"Wow, so there are three people who are over 2,000 years old?" Lilith said, clearly surprised.
"Yes, that should be covered when you enter school, but since you're already working with us, we'll help answer any questions you have," Nadien reassured.
"So, are those three the only ones who are over 2,000 years old?" Lilith wondered.
"Well, there are many veterans on the Vanguard web who hide their ages—including your parents," Nadien said with a slight smirk.
Hearing the mention of her parents made Lilith feel a tickle in her heart.
"Wait... how old are my parents, really?" she thought, feeling a mix of curiosity and apprehension.
