The Demon King who slew gods.
The overlord on the surface.
He is the king who reigns at the apex of all humanity.
This was the extent of the martial arts world's knowledge of God Slayers.
But one of them...
Had achieved kingship as a Devil.
He had also slain the Marquis Voban.
And was vaguely considered the existence of the strongest God Slayer.
And now!
He had appeared before her.
"You... are the king who subjugated Sun Wukong?"
Ayato raised an eyebrow. "I'm surprised you know about that."
It was true.
Hearing this, Miu jumped for joy.
A legendary figure...
Had appeared before her?
She immediately performed a standard dogeza: "Great King, I was presumptuous just now. Please forgive my discourtesy."
"It's nothing."
Ayato said calmly. "Still the same question. Do you want to become my servant?"
"Or, to be precise, do you want to be reincarnated as a Devil and serve me for life?"
Miu was silent for a moment, then said quietly, "Can't I just be a follower?"
"Of course not."
Ayato shook his head. "Human lifespans are far too short."
"I won't allow my wings to die so soon."
Hearing this, Miu fell silent.
Indeed...
Compared to a God Slayer's nearly eternal existence...
Human life...
Was merely a drop in the ocean.
If that was the case, his request was reasonable.
"Okay, I agree."
Shizuka: "..."
Momo: "..."
Miko: "..."
Good grief!
That change of attitude was way too fast.
Wasn't she just resisting strongly?
Only Seiko smiled slightly.
Only those who truly knew that world understood what a God Slayer meant.
"Excellent."
Ayato smiled slightly and took out an Evil Piece. "In that case, let's perform the Reincarnation Ritual."
"Chess?"
Miu blinked, asking instinctively, "What does that have to do with the Reincarnation Ritual?"
"This is an Evil Piece."
Ayato explained. "It's an essential item for the Reincarnation Ritual."
"But detailed explanations are too troublesome. Just follow my instructions."
"Okay!"
Miu nodded.
Since she had already decided...
Doing what the King said was definitely right.
But how exactly was this chess piece used?
"First."
"Mm, mm."
Miu looked serious.
"You need to take off your outer clothes."
"..."
Miu was stunned, a look of confusion appearing in her eyes.
Take off... her outer clothes.
She thought about it carefully. After confirming she hadn't misheard, she fell silent.
Then!
She tremblingly raised her hand.
A few seconds later, holding her outer clothes, she said quietly, "Th-this... is this okay?"
"That's fine."
Th-thank goodness.
Miu breathed a sigh of relief.
Although it was still embarrassing, at least she still had her undergarments.
The next moment!
Ayato reached out and pressed down the Evil Piece.
Hum!
The moment the reincarnation magic circle appeared.
Ayato slightly raised his right hand, already summoning the Boosted Gear.
Thump! Thump!
Miu's heartbeat was deafening.
The transformation of her bloodline made her tremble violently a few times.
Two rounded shapes were jostled, bouncing a few times.
"Glare." x3
Momo and the others' expressions became complex.
They were all students...
Why were hers so exaggerated?
A Reinforcement-type Balance Breaker?
Her strength was pretty good, though.
That made sense...
Her martial arts skills were much better than Shizuka's half-hearted skills back then.
Ayato took out the basic magic book, handed it to her, and said:
"Here are some practical spells. You need to master them as quickly as possible."
"And the red light just now is..."
A moment later!
After listening to Ayato's explanation.
Miu clenched her fist.
She felt the power flowing within her.
"So, this is the power of a Longinus?"
Besides that!
Her body had also become so much stronger.
The realm of "Master," which she couldn't reach no matter how hard she tried on normal days...
Seemed to have opened its doors to her.
Had she just hit the jackpot?
Miu was slightly dazed, feeling like she was about to be knocked out by a pie falling from the sky.
She looked up, gazing at Ayato's handsome face.
And all of this...
Was given by the King.
She lowered her head again and bowed, "Thank you for your gift, Great King. I will follow you until death."
"We can talk about that later. Stand up first."
Ayato said, "After all, I still have to give you the Blessing."
"Blessing?"
Miu was a bit confused, but instinctively stood up.
Then!
She saw Ayato's eyes getting closer and closer.
This was... way too close.
