"I'm throwing away my humanity!"
Abel couldn't help but laugh out loud as he watched Miko make a serious Dio-style declaration.
Abel's laugh made Miko's face instantly flush red. She felt so embarrassed she could dig out a four-bedroom, one-living-room apartment.
After easing the atmosphere slightly, Abel asked, "Have you thought it through?"
Miko nodded. "I have."
Looking at the serious young girl in front of him, Abel nodded. "Since that's the case, once you become a devil, your entire life will belong to me. After all, you're my servant, and you must serve me."
Abel used his finger to lift Miko's chin and leaned in close, the distance between their faces only about a fist's width.
Feeling the warm breath of the devil in front of her, and the unique, fresh scent on Abel's body, Miko's face flushed. She seemed to be emitting steam from her head.
Miko felt that this devil was too much of a cheat, he was actually seducing her.
Also, serv... serv... serving him or something was really a bit much.
Was this the price for summoning a devil?
Had her life changed forever?
As Miko once again entered a mental storm, Abel stepped back a little, marveling at the steaming young girl in front of him. He was in no hurry, and once again sat down in the air.
After a while, Miko snapped out of her daze, now looking seriously at Abel in front of her.
His white hair, red eyes, handsome and dashing appearance, and the aura of nobility he carried, struck Miko's heart.
This was truly... truly...
It wasn't impossible.
Then, she mustered her courage and said, "Devil-san, I'm ready."
"Really?"
Miko asked, "Come on, what do I do?"
Since it had come to this, there was nothing left to be shy about.
Looking at the young girl in front of him, Abel said nothing.
He approached her and said, "Then, the Reincarnation Ritual begins."
"Reincarnation Ritual?"
Abel didn't answer her. He just extended his left index finger to her collar and lightly traced a line. A smooth slit appeared in Miko's clothes from the collar, and her fair skin was exposed to the air.
Miko's eyes widened instantly, the blush on her face spreading to her neck. She instinctively wanted to cover her chest, but her movements were slow due to shyness.
Just as she was at a loss, Abel held a Pawn Piece in his right hand and placed it on Miko's chest.
The cold touch of the piece made Miko tremble.
If Miko was a calm lake, then the Evil Piece was the stone that caused ripples on the lake's surface.
Immediately after, Miko saw the piece completely enter her body. There was no discomfort at all.
"It… it went in?"
"Mm, that's right, it went in. But are you ready for what comes next?"
"Huh?"
Abel's words made Miko a bit confused, and then—
Thump-thump!
Miko's pupils dilated, the sound of her heartbeat echoing in her ears.
She felt her body begin to heat up, and at the same time, she felt a continuous surge of power emerging within her. Additionally, Miko felt an itchy sensation around her waist, as if something was about to emerge.
Whoosh!
Her clothes were pushed open, and a pair of jet-black wings appeared on her back.
Abel, looking at such a beautiful sight, carefully observed her.
There were too many benefits tonight.
From Grayfia to Miko, mature and innocent.
Wonderful!
At this moment, Abel's system screen popped up.
[Peerage Pack x1]
Then Abel operated on the light screen and opened the pack.
[Congratulations, Host, you have received the reward: Mangekyo Sharingan (Obito)]
Abel did not claim it for now.
Miko's ability was related to her eyes, as she could see ghosts, which granted him an eye-related ability.
Oh, right.
Devil Summoning Cards.
He had almost forgotten about that.
He clicked to start distribution.
The system extracted some of Abel's magic power and transformed it into cards. Then, they vanished into the void under Abel's gaze.
[Distribution complete.]
Abel also nodded, then opened his panel.
[Host: Abel Astaroth]
[Bloodline: Pure-blooded Devil]
[Abilities: Kankara Formula, Magic Mastery, Magic Fountain, Power of Annihilation, Mangekyo Sharingan (Obito)]
[Sacred Gear: Innovate Clear, Telos Karma]
[Peerage: Grayfia (Mutated Queen), Miko (Normal Pawn)]
[System Ability: Devil Summoning Cards]
Then he looked at Miko, who was undergoing the transformation.
After a while, the ritual was successfully completed.
Miko curiously touched the wings on her back, the real sensation on her fingertips signifying that she, Miko, was no longer human.
As a gentle breeze blew past, Miko felt a chill.
Looking at Abel's playful gaze, she slowly lowered her head.
It was over.
She had been seen completely.
Miko's face flushed crimson, and she hastily covered her vital parts with both hands, her eyes flustered and shy.
"You... don't look!" She shouted, both shy and annoyed.
Abel raised an eyebrow, a mischievous smile on his lips. "It's too late to be shy now, my little subordinate."
Although he said that, Abel snapped his fingers, and Miko's clothes returned to their original state. However, the wings on her back made her a bit uncomfortable.
"Control the power within your body, imagine it, and then retract your wings."
Listening to Abel's words, Miko began to use the magic power within her body.
Whoosh!
The wings on Miko's back retracted.
Abel said with a smile, "Alright, my little subordinate, you are now a devil. So, it's time for us to go our separate ways."
Hearing Abel's words, Miko was stunned for a moment.
Normally, shouldn't he take her home? Why was he leaving now?
Abel created a magic circle, then walked into it, and as the light dissipated, he disappeared.
Suddenly, the magic circle lit up again and Abel reappeared.
"Oh, right, you need to come to Kuoh Academy after school tomorrow. You still need to learn how to use magic."
"Also, one more thing, go home early and be careful of the perverted priests who hunt devils."
With that, Abel really left, leaving Miko alone in place.
"Eh!?"
A gentle breeze blew, and Miko shivered.
If it weren't for the power within her, Miko would definitely think she was dreaming.
She glanced at the sky and then quickly ran in the direction of her home.
