• Shien arrived at the Shalin Race's homeland and noticed its many beautiful women, prompting Shajina to explain that their race had far more women than men.

Shien reached the Shalin Race settlement and received lavish hospitality from its chief, Shariom. He learned that meeting the Succubus would be difficult because her beauty captivated everyone who saw her, and he was startled when Shajina called her someone he admired.

• Shien reflected on his supposed luck with beautiful women as Shajina brought him to the Shalin Race settlement.
• Shariom welcomed Shien and explained that his Legendary-tier strength earned him respect despite the Shalin Race's low status.

• Shien rejected Shariom and Shajina's assumption that he had fallen for the succubus and insisted Roxie was more beautiful.
• Shariom arranged for Shajina to lead Shien to the Succubus Domain with a monster transport team the next day.

• Shien refused Shariom's offer to take Shalin women to his lodging and walked there with a guide.
• Shien asked why the Shalin people worshipped the moon, and his guide explained that their supreme ruler was the Moon Demon.

• Shien reached a modest wooden cabin, went to sleep, and wondered how Lilith and Yulin were doing.
• Yulin roared beneath the moon in the Dragon Demon Territory as draconic subspecies worshipped her and officers celebrated her emergence as a Limit-tier dragon.
• Lilith flew through the Poison Demon Territory, where the Li Mo Race surrounded her and their chief tried to seize her for her powerful negative-energy magic.

• Lilith spread her twelve black wings and flew east to continue searching for the person most important to her.

Shien prepared to leave the Shalin Race settlement for the Succubus Domain, where he intended to pursue his goal. After the Shalin Race offered him money and women in gratitude for saving them, he traveled with Shajina aboard a flying magical beast.

• Shien woke without Lasha, but several Shalin Race women washed and dressed him while giving him massages.

Shajina brought Shien and the Shalin Race convoy to Succubus City, the peaceful trade center ruled by the powerful demon lord Shafna. As the group descended to obey the city’s entry rules, Shien sensed something unusual.

• Shajina explained that Succubus City gathered the Succubus Territory’s strongest races and forbade private fighting under Shafna’s rule.
• Shajina told Shien that residents had to gain Shafna’s permission, receive recommendations from three major races, or have one hundred high-ranking demons.
• Shajina hinted that Shien’s Legendary-tier strength might help the Shalin Race gain recommendations, but Shien doubted powerful demons would support a human.
• Shajina ordered the Shalin Race convoy to descend before the gates because flying into Succubus City without permission was forbidden.
• As Shien prepared to enter the city quietly, he sensed something unusual.

Lady Shafna, ruler of Succubus City, became intrigued by Shien and concealed his arrival from the other demons. After Shien reached the city gate, Shafna appeared in the sky before him and Shajina.

• Lady Shafna watched Shien arrive in Succubus territory while Liel questioned her interest in him.
• Liel warned that the Dragon Demon had asked to be told if they found the Hero, but Lady Shafna admitted she was curious about him.
• Lady Shafna teased Liel about her jealousy and reflected that she favored Aiyi more than her obedient subordinate.
• Lady Shafna looked toward Shien at the city gate, then vanished from the castle summit.
• Shien sensed a change in the surroundings, and Lady Shafna appeared in the sky before him and Shajina.

• Shien caught Liel's attack barehanded and used Bestowal: Burst to blast her backward in flames.
• Liel recognized Shien as the Hero, and Shien mocked her for ambushing him.

Shien confronted Shafna in Succubus City while resisting her overwhelming allure and insisting that he had come to see Aiyi. Shafna became fascinated with him and chased him through the sky as he repeatedly teleported away.

• Liel began awakening a dangerous power against Shien, but Shafna stopped her and Liel restrained herself.
• The demons of Succubus City and Shajina's group knelt to greet Shafna, while Shafna remembered Shien's name.
• Shien told Shafna he had come to see Aiyi and claimed he was not interested in women, despite being visibly affected by her allure.
• Shafna teased Shien by suggesting she might accept his offer to take in women who came to him, provoking jealousy and killing intent among the demons.
• Shafna pursued Shien through the sky with teleportation while he protested and repeatedly tried to escape.

Shien resisted Shafna’s teasing, attacked her with a fire spell, and warned her not to treat him like a toy. Shafna took him seriously and invited him to come with her before both disappeared.

• Shafna chased Shien through the sky as demons in Succubus City watched in disbelief, while Shajina and Liel reacted with confusion and jealousy.
• Shien fought off his attraction to Shafna by thinking of Merika, Tier, Aiyi, and Roxie, then used Enchantment: Fire to engulf her.
• Shafna extinguished the flames unharmed, and Shien confronted her for playing with his feelings and threatened to use the Holy Sword if she did it again.
• Shien briefly awakened the Holy Sword’s power, frightening the demons and prompting Shafna to regard him as an equal and give him ninety points.
• Shafna told Shien to come with her and vanished; Shien said goodbye to Shajina and followed, while Liel pursued them.

Shien followed Shafna to Succubus Castle, where her Legendary-tier Rock Giant guards challenged him before Shafna dragged him inside. Shafna told him that his companions were being found, including Lilith, who was headed toward a confrontation with Poison Demon Kamina.

• News that Shien had caught Shafna’s attention spread through Succubus City, stirring admiration, jealousy, and speculation about his identity.
• Shafna introduced Shien to the two level-ninety Rock Giant guards at Succubus Castle, who pressed him with their auras until his presence made them falter.
• Shien grew irritated when Shafna watched the guards threaten him, and he tried to leave; Shafna apologized, caught his hand, and teased him about resembling Aiyi.
• Shafna told Shien that Aiyi was searching for their companions and that the treasure dragon and Jacinta were safe, while Lilith had landed in the Poison Demon Territory and attracted Kamina’s attention.
• Shien insisted that Lilith could handle Kamina, and Shafna took his hand and dragged him into the castle to keep her company.

Shafna brought Shien to her room and examined his Holy Sword, discovering that it could injure a Transcendent-class demon before its wielder had transcended. She recognized Shien as a dangerous Hero, and their standoff ended with her teasing him about how long he could sustain his boosted power.

• Shafna shoved Shien onto her bed and demanded to see the Holy Sword at his waist.
• Shafna removed the Holy Sword's three seals, burned her hand on its holy power, and watched it return to Shien.
• Shafna explained that Shien's unusually powerful Holy Sword revealed his great potential and could threaten Transcendent-class demons.
• Shafna warned that Shien could become a disaster for demonkind, and Shien dared her to try killing him.
• Shien activated the Cycle of Fate to raise his power tenfold and withstand Shafna's pressure, then quickly concealed the boost's time limit.
• Shafna guessed that Shien's power boost consumed considerable energy and teased him about his endurance.

Shafna became intrigued by Shien’s honest resistance to her charm and asked why he liked Aiyi; his answer showed how deeply they cared for each other. When Shafna asked where he would stand if the Demon Race and God Race went to war, Shien said he would protect Aiyi but would not fight for the Demon Race merely because she belonged to it, leaving Shafna stunned.

• Shafna reflected on Shien’s unusual resistance to her charm and considered why Sera had arranged for Aiyi to marry him.
• Shafna asked Shien whether he liked Aiyi, and he firmly said that he did.
• Shien explained that Aiyi treated him with care and protected him, even though she was cold and unsympathetic toward others.
• Shafna asked which side Shien would support if the Demon Race and God Race went to war.
• Shien said he would defend Aiyi but would not fight for the Demon Race just because Aiyi was one of its Demon Lords, and Shafna was left speechless.

Shien told Shafna he would not choose a side in the conflict among the Three Races, and Shafna approved of his marriage to Aiyi after learning he cared about Aiyi’s own wishes. Shien accepted the engagement, dismissing Kamina’s opposition, before Liel attacked him after finding him with Shafna; afterward, Shien moved into Succubus Castle’s top floor.

• Shafna realized Shien would judge the Three Races for himself and approved of his marriage to Aiyi.
