Eligos Territory, Ancient Battlefield peripheral.
When Leo and Rem came here together, there was not a sudden surge of resentful spirits and monsters like in the past, but a terrifying silence.
There is no way, in more than half a month, the entire Ancient Battlefield has become a place used by everyone in Eligos Peerage for actual combat, so leaving aside the inner area, the outer area has been almost destroyed by disasters. Now there are very few resentful spirits and monsters here. Even the terrain is full of potholes and tatters. You can tell at a glance that it has endured a lot of damage.
Leo and Rem stood facing each other, one with a relaxed expression and the other with a tense expression.
"Okay, let's get started."
Leo put his hands on his hips and looked relaxed, not at all like he was about to face off against an irrational ghost.
"Don't worry, I'll be here to watch. There's no one here. Even if you lose control and act haphazardly, it won't have any impact, so you can do it boldly."
Leo first gave Rem a dose of relief injection, which made Rem feel a little more relaxed.
However, it can be seen from her expression that she is still very uneasy.
"Do you really want to take the initiative to enter the Oni Transformation state here?"
Rem confirmed again and again, looking hesitant.
For her, who often loses control and runs wild, voluntarily entering the Oni Transformation state is simply unimaginable. Years of experience have caused her to have severe resistance to her own Oni Transformation and even a psychological shadow, making Rem never dare to take the initiative to activate her own solo.
"Are you still afraid of hurting me?" Leo said with a smile, "It doesn't have to be like this, let alone you alone. Even if you let Ram help you, you two may not be able to do anything to me. It's not even clear whether you can force me to use my full strength."
Before the change, Leo really didn't dare to say such big words.
Before taking over Ravel Phenex, Leo has not even completely completed the transformation of "Zenith Tempest" into Balance Breaker. At full power, it is equivalent to the level of Ten-Winged Devil. If you have to deal with two ghosts who have reached the level of Ultimate-Class Devil at once, you may not be able to survive unscathed.
But now, even if he doesn't even use the power of "Zenith Tempest", Leo himself has the same strength as Ten-Winged Devil. Even if Rem and Oni Transformation are one level behind him, how can he be hurt?
"Hurry up, stop inking, or do you want me to call Ram over to accompany you?"
Leo kept urging.
"Lei, Rem understands, please don't call my sister over."
Rem didn't want to trouble his sister anymore. After taking a deep breath, he began to close his eyes.
"Buzz----"
After a while, the aura around Rem became manic, and his forehead gradually flashed with white light, and there was a faint horn protruding from it, as if it was about to grow out.
"Hmm----"
Rem's expression began to become a little painful, and her voice also took on an anguished flavor, making the aura around her become even more manic.
"Pah!"
Just when Rem's consciousness couldn't help but sink, a hand suddenly reached out in front of her and flicked her forehead.
"Yeah!"
Rem's consciousness was suddenly pulled up by the pain on her forehead, causing her to cover her forehead and let out a cry of pain.
Thanks to this, the manic aura around Rem disappeared, and the white light on his forehead also dissipated all of a sudden.
"Lee, Master Leo?"
Rem covered his forehead and looked at Leo who had appeared in front of him at some point with tears in his eyes, as if asking him why he did this to him.
"If you fail, try again." Leo said with a normal expression, "You were affected by Oni Transformation's state almost as soon as you activated the horn. Your aura is so manic. You can tell at a glance that it is impossible to control yourself, and you will be 100% out of control."
"So, let's start over. This time, we must slowly activate the Oni Transformation state. Try to hold on in the process and not let your consciousness sink."
"Think more about good things and don't be affected by negative emotions, including hesitation and anxiety. As long as you can eliminate them, you should be able to persist longer."
Leo gave Rem some of his own opinions and suggestions. Not to mention, they are quite reasonable.
After all, he is someone who has read a lot of the books in his study room. Although he is not as crazy as Yukino Yukinoshita who wants to read all the books, he has still read more than half of them. The accumulation of this knowledge is still very useful and allows Leo to give his own suggestions in all aspects. Otherwise, he would not be able to formulate Training Plan for each family member as he is now.
These are the qualities that a "king" should have. In order to better lead the team and better help his family members grow, it is necessary to accumulate some knowledge.
Therefore, Leo can quickly see what the problem is with Rem and give it a certain degree of guidance.
"Come on."
Leo and Rem distanced themselves, returned to their original positions, and urged her again.
"Yes."
Rem rubbed his red forehead, calmed down his emotions, and quickly entered the state of Oni Transformation.
Her breathing became manic again and again, her face became painful, and her voice became depressed.
However, whenever Rem was about to lose control of herself and her consciousness completely sank, Leo could quickly step forward and interrupt her state with a brain-shake, allowing her to escape from Oni Transformation.
"No, I'm still too anxious. Slow down a little more. You have to consciously control the speed of Oni Transformation. Don't indulge in it all at once."
"Slow down any further, and your consciousness simply won't be able to keep up with the rising power. It will only make you get carried away by the huge feeling of power."
"This time it was too slow. The rising power was suppressed by your consciousness, so it was impossible to enter the state of Oni Transformation. Start over."
"If it still doesn't work, try again."
"Come again."
Leo seemed to have turned into the Spartan devil instructor who would mercilessly bombard a group of beautiful girls in the morning basic training. His attitude was still so casual, but his attacks were merciless, interrupting Rem again and again, making Rem's forehead turn red.
Rem was almost in tears. He even remembered the scene when Oni Transformation went berserk last time and was knocked unconscious by Leo. In the end, he seemed to have fallen into the opponent's arms?
This made Rem feel angry and annoyed for a moment, with numerous expressions appearing on her usually expressionless and delicate face.
Rem, who was controlled by these emotions, completely gave up hesitation and uneasiness the next time she Oni Transformation, but that shameful emotion made her enter the Oni Transformation state at an unprecedented speed.
So, this time, before Leo had time to take action, Rem's unicorn, which had been flashing white light in front of her forehead, finally successfully grew out, causing her eyes to quickly glow red.
"I----Kekekekekekekekeke, as expected, Rem is out of control.
Her aura surged, and she instantly stepped from the level of Middle-Class Devil to the level of Ultimate-Class Devil, and the Demonic Power in her body that was not supposed to be very high surged and rushed directly into Middle-Class Devil The E level immediately rushed to the High-Class Devil level. Even so, it was still rising sharply. The Demonic Power that finally broke out was not much worse than Ram.
"Sure enough, most of Demonic Power has been absorbed by the state of Oni Transformation, and only Oni Transformation will really explode later."
Seeing this scene, Leo also completely confirmed his previous guesses, knowing that he had found the real reason why Rem grew so slowly.
The high potential of Rem is indeed all concentrated on the special ability of Oni Transformation.
While Leo confirmed this, Rem, who had completely entered the Oni Transformation state, also took action.
"Boom!"
As Demonic Power's arrogance grew, Rem shouted and stretched out his hand in the direction of Leo, which actually caused a surprising amount of cold air to come out.
Countless ice shot out from the cold air, covering Leo overwhelmingly, and the temperature in the air dropped rapidly wherever it passed.
This is the magic Rem is good at.
Unlike Ram who is good at using Wind Magic, Rem is good at using Ice Magic, but unlike Ram, she has the ability to create her own magic. She has only learned several kinds of Ice Magic, and the number of magic she masters is very small. Most of them can only launch ice to attack opponents like this, which shows how low her ability in magic is.
However, with the support of the huge Demonic Power at the Ultimate-Class Devil level, the Ice Magic used by Rem was monotonous, but its power was greatly increased. The number of ice shot out was literally tens of thousands, and it was an overwhelming large area, making it inevitable for people to avoid it.
Facing the barrage of ice that was like a downpour, Leo naturally did not choose to dodge, but chose to face it head-on.
"Boom!"
Purple Demonic Power arrogance burst out from Leo's body, instantly overwhelming Demonic Power's body on Rem's body, causing magic squares to appear around Leo's body.
"Bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang----!"
The next moment, countless pieces of ice hit the magic square array spread out around Leo, constantly colliding with the magic square array, causing fierce sounds.
Countless pieces of ice were blocked, and even shattered on the spot the moment it hit the magic square. The impact was strong enough to set off air waves, shaking the ground beneath Leo's feet, gradually rolling up thick smoke and dust.
Not long after, the smoke and dust were blown away, and Leo's unharmed figure appeared in it, irritating Rem, whose eyes were red.
"Go to hell!"
Rem let out a manic roar and shot out like a cannonball. While lifting Sonic Boom, he raised his petite fist and punched it out.
"Bang!!!"
There was a loud noise, and the ground exploded on the spot with a simple punch from Rem, turning into a huge crater and causing countless gravel and rubble to fly.
The figure of Leo appeared in mid-air, with ten Devil Wings spread out behind it, flying past at an astonishing speed, avoiding the attack of Rem.
Rem wanted to catch up, but was stopped.
A magic square appeared at her feet at some point, and chains made of pure Demonic Power shot out from it. Before Rem could react, they wrapped around her body and bound her tightly.
"Uh----ahhhhh----!"
Rem struggled desperately, bursting out with amazing strength, but still could not break free from these Demonic Power Chain.
"Ugh!"
Only then did the figure of Leo appear in front of Rem. He bent his fingers and stretched them to Rem's forehead.
Rem seemed to have a stress reaction to this action, and he trembled violently.
Unfortunately, this could not save her from her subsequent fate.
"Bang!"
"--------!"
As Leo's brain collapsed again, and this time he also carried Demonic Power between his fingers, Demonic Power turned into a shock and hit Rem's forehead. Rem experienced the feeling of being shocked for the second time.
"Leo-sama----"
Rem's eyes widened, the red light in her eyes disappeared, and the white corners of her forehead also dissipated, causing her swelling aura and Demonic Power to quickly weaken, and then she fell into Leo's arms as if she lost consciousness.
"Fortunately, Oni Transformation lasted only a short time this time, so the load on the body and mind was not too great."
Leo held Rem, checked it a little, and then stuffed a small fruit into Rem's mouth.
"Cough----!"
Rem immediately opened his eyes and sat up suddenly, with a bitter look on his face.
"It's so painful!"
She felt that she had eaten the most bitter thing in the world, even more bitter than the bitterness she had experienced over the years while trying to catch up with her sister.
"Good medicine tastes bitter. Although this is not a medicine, it can immediately relieve people from coma. It should be a very useful thing for you."
Leo first smiled at Rem, and then entered Spartan mode again.
"Now that you're awake, let's continue and don't waste time."
Rem:
66
, confirmed that my master is definitely Devil among Devil, the devil among devils.
However, for some reason, the other party's merciless attitude made Rem feel at ease.
She doesn't want to see others looking at her with pity, let alone pity for her. That will only make her more aware of what a bad person she is.
Therefore, Leo's harsh attitude made Rem feel at ease to a certain extent.
At least, she doesn't have to worry that the other person will be disappointed in her and want to abandon her.
People who are really disappointed with themselves will never demand themselves so harshly.
Thinking like this, Rem couldn't help but think of his sister.
Onee-sama looks cold and ruthless, but she is actually gentler than anyone else.
That kind of tenderness saved me, but at the same time, it also made me worry about gains and losses, fearing that the other person would leave me alone one day.
Although Master Leo is not gentle, this is exactly what Rem wants.
This made Rem somewhat aware that now he was not only burdened with the expectations of his sister, but also with the expectations of his master.
Then----
"Go on."
With a firm heart, Rem stood up and tried Oni Transformation again.
She didn't notice that not far away, there was a figure very similar to her standing there, always looking at——
