Just as the two were fighting fiercely, Abel released Kurome and walked over.
"Alright, stop fighting."
Hearing his voice, Esdeath immediately stopped, standing obediently to the side.
Leone also ceased her attack, glaring angrily at Esdeath.
Abel shook his head. "You two shouldn't get so heated. Leone, don't be angry, Esdeath was just playing with you."
Leone snorted and turned her head away.
At this moment, Akame's anxious voice sounded. "Kurome, what's wrong with you?!"
Everyone looked behind them, only to see Akame holding a curled-up Kurome, looking extremely worried.
Abel immediately walked to Kurome's side, squatting down to check her condition.
Kurome's face was pale, her forehead covered in cold sweat. Her hands tightly clutched her body, and faint groans of pain escaped her lips.
As Abel reached out his hand, Kurome's condition improved slightly.
It seemed she had forgotten to take her medicine.
"What's wrong with Kurome?"
"She forgot to take her medicine." Abel replied.
After all, Kurome's strength was enhanced by drugs and she relied heavily on it. Once she stopped taking it, she would become like this.
Abel looked at Kurome, thinking that since her human body wasn't working, she should become a Devil.
"Kurome."
"My King."
"Are you willing to become a Devil, to get rid of a body that needs drugs?"
Question marks appeared above Akame's head.
Esdeath's lips curved upwards, thinking, 'Has Master finally made his move?'
Leone stood by, watching curiously, wanting to see what it would be like to become a Devil.
"A Devil? Will I be ugly?" Kurome blurted out.
Abel's lips twitched and he shook his head. "No."
"Then... please."
"Alright."
Under the shocked gazes of Leone and the sisters, a roulette phantom appeared behind Abel.
He pointed at Kurome, and a circle of light from the roulette struck her body. Then, the roulette began to spin, finally stopping at the Knight position.
A drop of blood gathered at Abel's fingertip, which he then fed into her mouth.
As the blood entered her stomach, a strong light flashed, completely enveloping Kurome's figure.
[Peerage Pack +1]
Akame tightly clenched her fists, her eyes filled with worry and anticipation, not knowing what changes her sister was about to face.
Leone, meanwhile, looked at the scene thoughtfully.
After a while, when the light dissipated, a brand new Kurome appeared before everyone's eyes.
Her originally pale face became rosy, and a pair of Devil Wings grew behind her.
Feeling her different body, Kurome's eyes revealed a hint of joy, completely without the previous discomfort.
After playing around for a bit, she retracted her wings.
Abel looked at Kurome and said, "From now on, you are my servant. You will forever follow and serve me."
Kurome tilted her head, confused. "Didn't Kurome follow the King from the beginning?"
Abel was amused by Kurome's innocent words and said, "This is different. Now you are officially my Peerage, you belong only to me. Everything about you, your life, and all."
Kurome nodded, seeming to understand yet not fully. In short, she was the King's person now.
Akame looked at her healed sister, the worry in her eyes gradually fading. "Kurome, I'm glad you're alright."
Kurome looked at her sister, and an idea popped into her head: to make her sister a Devil too.
If her sister became a Devil, could they stay together forever?
Just as Kurome was thinking, Leone walked forward, circling her a few times and marveling, "Wow, so this is how you reincarnate into a Devil."
This was very different from the Devil she had imagined.
Esdeath crossed her arms, her lips curving upwards. "Master's power always brings surprises."
Kurome looked at Akame. "Nee-san, you should become a devil too. That way, we won't have to be separated."
Akame was startled. She hadn't expected her sister to say that.
Abel raised an eyebrow.
What a divine assist!
He had been wondering how to make Akame a Devil, but Kurome had actually brought it up herself.
Abel looked at Akame and also began to persuade her, "Akame, become a devil. Besides, you don't want Kurome to be all alone in the future, do you?"
Akame fell silent, she didn't know how to choose.
"Nee-san." Kurome pulled Akame's hand, looking at her expectantly.
Looking at her younger sister, past events surfaced in Akame's mind. She had experienced darkness, which was why she had followed Najenda and Kurome had been abandoned by her once.
Now, everything had turned for the better. There was no imperial darkness here, it was the best utopia she had ever seen. Her younger sister was also here.
Akame squatted down, stroking Kurome's head. "Kurome, nee-san won't leave you again."
A light of surprise flashed in Kurome's eyes, and she tightly hugged Akame.
After hugging for a while, Akame stood up and looked at Abel, then knelt on one knee.
"Please turn me into a Devil too."
"Have you thought it through? As I said before, once you become a Devil, your future life and plans will all belong to me."
"I've thought it through. I don't want to be separated from my younger sister again."
Abel was very satisfied with this outcome. He looked at Akame, and the Devil Reincarnation Disk reappeared behind him.
After a moment, the pointer stopped at the Knight position, which was the same as Kurome and a drop of blood reappeared on his finger.
Akame didn't hesitate, and like Kurome, she immediately took Abel's finger into her mouth.
As the blood entered her stomach, she was enveloped in light.
[Peerage Pack + 1]
After a while, the light dissipated, and a pair of Devil Wings spread out from her back.
Akame could clearly feel the changes in her body. Her flesh, bones, and even everything inside her body had undergone earth-shattering changes.
Abel asked, "How does it feel?"
"Quite good."
Akame retracted her wings and clenched her fists. She felt like she could kill ten of her former selves in one minute.
