Helièna

Helièna is a seventh-class Succubus Queen who enters the story as the Destruction Demon Army’s third Battalion Commander, dies after trying to claim Yu IlHan, and returns as one of Dragon’s Nest’s most knowledgeable and dangerous allies.

Biography

The Succubus Queen at Dareu

Helièna travels to Dareu after learning that IlHan has killed a dragon and disrupted the plans of multiple higher-existence factions. She approaches him with a certainty built over tens of thousands of years: no man has ever been able to reject the Succubus Queen. That belief makes her interest both romantic and predatory. She does not initially seek an equal conversation; she expects her power to decide what IlHan wants and treats the armies around them as pieces that can be moved to create their encounter. (Chapters 248–251)

When IlHan resists her first charm, Helièna escalates rather than reevaluates. She fills the battlefield with violet mana, bends hostile attacks away from herself, and destabilizes angels, fallen angels, and other commanders regardless of faction. Men are driven toward obedience, while women and same-class opponents lose rational control. She then concentrates the power that had covered the battlefield onto IlHan alone, surrounding him with enough mana to distort space-time. His refusal survives even that concentration. (Chapters 252–253)

IlHan’s resistance attacks the foundation of Helièna’s identity more effectively than a weapon. She has treated universal desire as an unquestionable truth, so she interprets rejection as a problem to solve rather than a boundary. She threatens his companions to open a gap in his emotions, while he deliberately keeps her attention on himself so that her influence continues exhausting the other seventh-class commanders. Their confrontation therefore becomes a contest of incompatible methods: Helièna assumes every will can be bent, while IlHan turns her certainty into a tactical resource. (Chapter 253)

Once the battlefield is weakened, Helièna commands the charmed survivors to kill themselves. The order is not instantaneous domination of untouched peers; she has spent the battle poisoning judgment, draining mana, and making the commanders expend their strength against one another. Even then, Spiera resists enough to remain standing. Helièna briefly retracts her influence so IlHan can settle his contract with Spiera in a direct fight, believing that his ruthlessness confirms they belong together. (Chapter 254)

That conclusion is fatal. After Helièna clears the battlefield and declares IlHan her destined partner, he uses the records he has acquired to identify her mana pattern and weak point, then drives his spear through her heart. He rejects the ease with which she calls coercion love and refuses to trust intentions he cannot verify. Helièna’s first life ends because she never accepts that fascination and consent are different things. (Chapter 254)

A thought-soul restored

Death does not erase Helièna completely. A self-aware thought-soul remains connected to IlHan and speaks with the same confidence and affection. IlHan initially treats it as a trustworthy copy rather than the original person, but the thought-soul volunteers information that complicates that distinction: it believes more than half of Helièna’s identity survived and admits this because it does not want him to learn later and feel deceived. That choice—revealing a fact that could make him abandon the restoration—is the first time she places his informed judgment above control. (Chapter 263)

IlHan rebuilds her dead body as living “hardware” rather than undead flesh. He places it in the Cradle of Miracles, restores the destroyed heart and mana circulation, removes any residual will from the body, and then uses Rule to accept the thought-soul as a subordinate. When she answers that she is Helièna “like I always was,” he acknowledges the name and soul-enchants her into the restored body. The process preserves continuity but not certainty: Helièna herself says the surviving soul was not wholly intact. (Chapter 263)

Her return immediately alters the War of the Wall of Chaos. Enemies who attacked because they believed her dead recoil when she appears alive. Although her charm is weaker than before, she draws Satière toward her, uses already-influenced higher existences as shields, and keeps him emotionally engaged while Kang MiRae opens a gate to the Netherworld. Helièna understands that a same-class opponent cannot be perfectly controlled at once; her strategy is to shave away resistance through attention, hesitation, and accumulated exposure. The delay succeeds, scattering the opposing factions and proving that her loyalty now serves IlHan’s plan rather than her former army. (Chapters 266–267)

Strategist of Dragon’s Nest

As IlHan’s subordinate, Helièna becomes a source of knowledge that his formerly isolated group lacks. She can explain how higher-existence factions gain and lose worlds, why invading a faction leader’s main world is different from entering an ordinary higher world, and how conflict around Earth relates to the Garden of Sunset’s prophecy. Her advice is not neutral: she helped circulate the prophecy because the resulting factional interest created a chance for her to meet IlHan. Yet she tells him enough to let him choose a response, even when his decision to steal higher worlds exceeds what she expected. (Chapters 283–285)

Her mana expertise is equally practical. She disrupts Hillutonne’s wide-area magic during an escape and helps Kim YeSeul and Erta calculate the space-time formation that covers Earth. Helièna can perceive global-scale magical changes beyond what the lower-existence mages initially sense, but she does not replace their specialties. The formation works because YeSeul supplies space-time theory, Erta and Helièna refine the design, IlHan distributes artifacts, and the Will of the Guardian realizes it at planetary scale. (Chapters 268 and 272–274)

Her relationship with IlHan changes through responsibility. When he is troubled by prophecy and the possibility that his path has been predetermined, Helièna argues that even genuine foresight cannot decide the choices he will make. Her reassurance addresses the fear beneath his planning rather than trying to overwrite it. IlHan later entrusts his companions to her protection, an assignment that would have been impossible when he saw her only as an enemy who manipulated attachment. (Chapter 289)

Dragon rebirth and Harmageddon

Dragon’s Nest eventually transforms Helièna without erasing what she was. Her race becomes draconic, but the Succubus Queen remains her job and the source of her charm. Her dark wings persist, paired horns emerge, and her succubus tail remains part of her body rather than an illusion. The transformation restores her to a perfected seventh-class condition while binding that strength to Dragon’s Nest. (Chapters 309–310 and 363)

During Harmageddon, Helièna uses the same ability that once destroyed armies to keep allies alive. Charm spread across the battlefield distracts or redirects attacks that would otherwise land on Dragon’s Nest members, while her faction knowledge helps IlHan choose the sequence in which enemy main worlds should be taken. She also joins YeSeul and Erta in the calculations needed to fuse Earth and Dareu, remaining linked with them inside the Cradle’s interspace while the world is reconstructed. Her function has shifted from turning every relationship into possession to protecting a community she chose to join. (Chapters 325–327 and 333–336)

Marriage and responsibility

After the war, Helièna marries IlHan, but her marriage story does not present the old Succubus Queen as unchanged. Before the ceremony she brings him to the surviving lower succubi of Ello Cartra, admits that she had forgotten them during her new life, and asks whether his world has room for them. The request reveals responsibility beyond her own survival: she now cares what happens to people connected to her origin and trusts IlHan to judge their place rather than charming him into agreement. (Chapter 363)

She is still playful and deliberately seductive, but IlHan can distinguish that performance from her fear of rejection. Helièna trembles when she admits that half her life would have had no meaning without meeting him, and he answers with affection rather than resistance. Their marriage rests on the change her first death made necessary: desire can be offered, refused, and later returned without ceasing to be real. (Extra Chapters 1 and 3; Chapter 363)

Appearance and personality

Before her dragon rebirth, Helièna appears as a beautiful woman with violet eyes, three pairs of dark bat-like wings, a small horn, and clothing designed to emphasize her body. The narration repeatedly frames her appearance as an embodiment of desire, but her charm is a supernatural power rather than beauty alone. After becoming a dragon, she develops a pair of horns while retaining her dark wings, violet coloring, and a slender tail tipped with a purple heart. The tail is a physical part of her transformed body, not an enchantment. (Chapters 251–253 and 363)

Helièna is theatrical, provocative, perceptive, and initially incapable of imagining a relationship she cannot dominate. She enjoys destruction and reads emotional weakness with the instincts of a hunter. Her restoration does not make her gentle, but it creates conditions in which honesty matters: she cannot hide from IlHan while existing as his thought-soul, and chooses disclosure even when it threatens her goal. Over time, the same perception that once found leverage becomes a way to advise, reassure, and protect. Her confidence remains enormous, yet the postwar Helièna can admit vulnerability and responsibility without disguising either as a command. (Chapters 253–254, 263, 283–289, and 363)

Abilities and classes

Helièna retains a seventh-class Succubus Queen job through death, restoration, and dragon rebirth. Her principal power is large-scale emotional and mana interference, supported by high-existence knowledge and a dragon body.

Succubus Queen charm

Helièna projects charm through violet mana, her gaze, voice, aura, and pheromones. At battlefield scale, the power compromises judgment across sexes and factions: it drives many male targets toward obedience, destroys the reason of some female targets, redirects attacks, and makes influenced combatants protect her. She can spread the field widely or gather it around one person for a concentrated attempt. Those under her influence also become a source of mana she can drain while maintaining the effect. (Chapters 252–253)

The most extreme commands require preparation against powerful targets. Helièna gradually pollutes the battlefield, encourages commanders to attack one another, and lets them spend mana before ordering them to kill themselves. Seventh-class opponents are not puppets from the first moment; Satière correctly understands that continuous aggression reduces the time she has to deepen her hold. Even after restoration, she can pull him toward her and blank his thoughts briefly, but cannot command him perfectly. (Chapters 254 and 267)

IlHan is her clearest counter. His max-level Unshakable Heart remains intact when she focuses her full unrestricted power on him, and neither direct eye contact nor the threat against his companions makes him love her. Her later success with him is emotional rather than compulsory: she becomes trusted because her choices change, not because the charm finally penetrates his resistance. (Chapters 252–254, 289, and 363)

Mana interference and battlefield control

Helièna can interfere with magic directly as well as through emotion. She diverts Natière’s rays before they strike, disrupts Hillutonne’s wide-area spell during IlHan’s escape, and scans changes in higher-world battlefields. Her charm and mana control interact: attacks that miss her may strike another faction, while enemies already struggling with emotion expend more mana and become easier to manipulate. (Chapters 252–254 and 268)

Her control is most effective when used tactically rather than as raw damage. Against Satière she turns nearby higher existences into shields and sustains his attention until MiRae opens the required gate. In Harmageddon she uses charm to break the timing of lethal attacks on allies. The corpus does not establish a named destructive spell unique to her; her threat comes from making the power already present on a battlefield act according to her design. (Chapters 267 and 325–327)

Formation knowledge and faction expertise

As a former Battalion Commander, Helièna understands main worlds, faction authority, world acquisition, and the scale of higher-existence mana. She helps YeSeul and Erta calculate the formation that slows Earth and later continues their calculations during the fusion with Dareu. Her contribution is collaborative and interpretive: she supplies high-level mana control and perception, while YeSeul provides space-time specialization and IlHan supplies the artifacts and authority that make the design real. (Chapters 272–274 and 334–336)

Thought-soul continuity and dragon body

IlHan’s thought-soul ability preserves a self-aware majority of Helièna’s soul after her death. The retained self can communicate through their connection, cannot conceal its intentions from him, and is later accepted through Rule and soul-enchanted into a living body reconstructed around its original seventh-class magic stone. This is neither ordinary resurrection nor an undead transformation. Helièna claims continuity, but also explicitly admits that the surviving soul was incomplete. (Chapter 263)

Dragon’s Nest subsequently gives that restored person a dragon race while preserving the Succubus Queen job. Her latest body has draconic horns and a physically real tail while retaining her wings, charm, and seventh-class standing. The transformation strengthens and regularizes her place in the faction; it does not supply evidence that every old power changed mechanics. (Chapters 309–310 and 363)

Power progression

Relationships

• Yu IlHan: The only person to resist her full charm, as well as her killer, restorer, faction leader, and eventual husband. Their relationship develops from attempted possession into trust that depends on Helièna allowing him to choose.
• Liera: Her principal romantic rival and a frequent critic of her methods. Competition continues after Helièna joins Dragon’s Nest, but both fight to protect IlHan and the faction.
• Na YuNa: A beauty-domain ally whose blessings can amplify charm. Their powers overlap in social effect but come from different sources and retain different mechanics.
• Kim YeSeul: A fellow formation specialist who helps contain the mana used to restore Helièna’s body and later collaborates with her on planetary magic.
• Spiera: A former enemy whom Helièna weakens with charm before temporarily releasing her to fight IlHan directly.

Items

• Cradle of Miracles: IlHan uses the Cradle to reconstruct Helièna’s living body around its magic stone and later to support her transformation within Dragon’s Nest. Helièna does not own the Cradle. (Chapters 263, 309, and 335)
