Three people stood in front of me.
Lavinia, Valerie, and Cleria Belial.
I held the Evil Pieces in my hand; they had changed form and all undergone mutation.
The Sparda bloodline had altered them—they would become like demons, and they would have to obey me.
That was the nature of Evil Pieces: if they ever turned stray devil or something went wrong, I could blow their heads off.
I explained this to them thoroughly: "Now I'm going to use three pieces. Valerie and Lavinia, I'll use Bishop on both of you. Cleria, I'll use Pawn on you. But don't underestimate yourself just because you're a Pawn on the board, even a Pawn can become a Queen at the end. I myself am using the King piece. If anyone doesn't want this, speak now."
"Finally, I can join the peerage!!!" Lavinia shouted.
Valerie gave her a side-eye: "Hm, I'm not thrilled about this girl joining, but let's get started."
"I will do my best to serve you," said Cleria.
I looked at them one last time: "There's no turning back from this. I've explained what will happen to you."
This time, they stayed silent and looked certain.
The pieces came out and entered them.
The same happened with the King piece entering me, and I felt my power multiply many times over and merge with me.
They were all glowing…
When it finished, everyone's eyes widened: "What is this? The energy inside me is so dense," said Lavinia.
"You feel it, don't you? It's denser and more dangerous than the demonic energy devils use."
I clapped my hands: "Girls, now that I've started forming my peerage, we're going to talk about important matters. There are a few more people I want to add to my peerage."
I sat on a couch, and everyone else did the same.
Cleria clenched her hand: "Who are you thinking of? I'll help you bring them," she said.
"Yes, I'll do my best. I won't disappoint you," said Valerie.
Lavinia: "I'm sure it's another girl."
I closed my eyes: "This person's name is Ingvild Leviathan. I've found her location. She was hidden by the old Maou faction and Nyx. Later, we'll rescue her. Valerie, Sephiroth Graal is reacting to your changed race, right?"
"Yes… Sephiroth Graal is reacting strangely. Something similar to a Balance Breaker is opening."
I pointed my finger at her: "Exactly. When the Balance Breaker appears, that's when we go rescue that girl together. Cleria, your clan's ability basically makes everything you understand worthless. I have the same trait, so I'm going to give you a book—read it thoroughly. Lavinia, you're free to join or not…"
"Of course I'm joining. Don't worry, we'll live together like old times," she said.
I really want Ingvlid Leviathan to be on my peerage.
Grayfia, Rossweisse, Venelana, and even Tiamat could be added later.
After rescuing Ingvild, I'll go to Tiamat.
Yamato already lets me sense dimensions.
This sword is completely OP I love Yamato…
