Dekan and Talomati

The steps leading from the throne to the Devil King Tomb, which were originally frozen by the Demon King's Magic Power, are now covered with black flames.

I don't know how much time passed.

Under the tense gaze of everyone.

Finally, the flames went out.

As the layers of the Demon King's Magic Power faded away like flower petals...

Dekan was no longer the only one appearing in the central area.

Instead, there were two figures.

They were staring intently at each other.

Like two people reflected in a mirror, they are twins made in heaven.

The boy's aquamarine-like pupils and the girl's golden, fiery pupils met each other from afar.

They immediately smiled in unison.

Just looking at the other person seemed to instantly illuminate the darkness before my eyes.

At this moment, it is just like ten thousand years ago when they first met each other, who were still somewhat strangers.

But now their colors have changed.

I finally understood how the other person truly saw me.

"Talomati, it seems we've succeeded."

Looking at his long-lost family, Dekan finally spoke.

He could tell the grade of his final masterpiece even without using Appraisal Magic.

One doesn't even need to look to know her abilities:

[Fate's Vow - Talomati]

[Category: Summon Card]

[Grade: Red Legend]

[Class: 9]

[Effect: In the unsummoned state, the user can control the bound user's body; in the summoned state, the user can consume a large amount of the summoner's mana to forcibly seal the target.]

[Note: I dedicate everything that has shaped my life to you.]

Because he had imprinted the highest achievements of his past and present lives, the craftsmanship of the Devil King Tomb, onto Talomati.

"Yes, it's a miracle."

Talomati stared into Dekan's eyes, as if trying to find answers in their depths.

However, there was no need for questions and answers between them anymore.

This is not the story of Dekan fulfilling his promise as a legendary Card Crafter.

It is not a story about Talomati fulfilling his vow across millennia of reincarnation.

It is the story of two small sparks born in the long flow of fate, who finally reunite after a long journey.

"Dekan, Talomati!"

In just a short while, the crowd that had been driven back by the raging demon king's Magic Power had surrounded them.

They stared in astonishment at the reappearance of Talomati.

Even without using Appraisal Magic, one can sense that she is a genuine ninth-tier powerhouse!

Not to mention what kind of card Dekan actually produced.

"Talomati, it's been a long time... more than ten thousand years, hasn't it?"

Finally, Croix, who was more familiar with Talomati in his previous life, greeted him.

The four members of the Holy Kingdom had met Talomati long ago in the Shadow World.

They simply didn't know if Talomati still remembered them.

However, when they saw Talomati's gentle smile, they quickly understood that Talomati had remembered those past experiences in the Holy Kingdom.

"You, you're so beautiful!"

Cornelia observed Talomati with eyes that seemed to glow; she found it hard to believe that a demon could exist that looked exactly like the Little Succubus Dekan.

This made Talomati nod somewhat embarrassed.

She had never seen the girl who changed Delois with her own eyes.

Although as a Master, I always watched Dekan and Cornelia spend every day together.

But when she needed to interact with her sister-in-law in her real form, she couldn't help but feel a little nervous.

On the other side.

The former Holy Maiden of Light and Darkness of the Holy Kingdom only greeted Talomati.

Ludwig and Milia must have had some interaction with the new Demon King Talomati after the death of the Holy Capital Delois.

They should be comrades-in-arms in the tenth-tier Shadow World [the Heaven-Piercing World-Destroying Battlefield].

But the story after Delois's death is probably only known to Talomati.

I wonder how much of it she remembers now.

"Elder sister..."

Only Ikatinos cried her heart out and hugged Talomati.

It seems like there's so much I want to tell Talomati.

"Eve, you actually succeeded me as the Demon King in the end, so why are you still such a crybaby?"

Talomati said with a smile that was both amused and helpless.

Delois was the 35th Demon Lord, while Talomati was the 36th. After Talomati died in the Heaven-Piercing World-Destroying Battlefield, Eve became the 37th and the last Demon Lord.

Dekan watched from the side, not wanting to disturb their reunion.

However, Talomati quickly sensed Dekan's stubbornness.

In just a short while, Talomati had used up most of the magic power in Dekan's body.

She looked at Dekan with great interest, her eyes asking, "How much longer can you hold on?"

Upon meeting Talomati's gaze, Dekan stopped acting.

"Damn it, am I being targeted by the Mana Evaporation Build?!"

For the first time, Dekan felt like he didn't have enough mana, and he clutched his head in despair.

He had never experienced this feeling before.

After all, his most prized strength of spirit gives him the ability to unleash magical power far exceeding that of others of the same level.

The closest I ever came to running out of mana was when I deliberately used [Dekan Gospel] to deplete my mana.

"Talomati, why don't you go back first?"

Dekan quickly clasped his hands together and pleaded with Talomati.

He suddenly realized that the power to summon and desummon was not in his hands.

It's in Talomati's hands!

Originally, in terms of the composition of their souls, he and Talomati each held 50% of the shares.

However, due to the original contract, Dekan had already established the rule when the contract was broken with the epic card [Talomati] – Talomati could control this body.

So even now, this hasn't changed.

"Oh dear, it seems there's something wrong with the Magic Card this Card Crafter made."

Talomati seemed to realize this as well, and feigned surprise with a sigh.

This was the first time she had ever heard of Summon Card having more authority than the summoner.

No Card Crafter could be this stupid except for Dekan.

But it was precisely because of Dekan's unconditional trust that he never considered rewriting their original contract during the repair process.

"What if I don't? I'd also like to see what you look like when you get really angry."

Talomati bent down slightly with a sly grin and laughed.

She felt that since she had finally gotten pregnant, it would be fun to tease Dekan.

It's his own fault for being so prone to making himself miserable.

He always says he's old.

"Talomati... you've changed..."

For a moment, Dekan couldn't tell whether the person in front of him was Talomati or the Little Succubus Dekan.

Although Talomati is a pure demon, his racial characteristics are completely different from those Dekan previously displayed in the Demon Realm Prison.

Dekan only knew that if Talomati had truly mastered the Little Succubus Dekan's skills, she was indeed capable of doing such a thing.

The others were chuckling.

No one was willing to speak up for him.

They found it quite novel that a celestial being could make the usually stubborn Dekan back down in a second.

"No way! I don't want to experience the agony of my Mana Evaporation!"

As his magical power dwindled, Dekan grew increasingly panicked.

If this continues, he will experience the same pain that Bishop of Ruin Evans back then!

"You're not allowed to slack off anymore. You have to reach level eight or nine as soon as possible so I can enjoy life more freely."

Talomati, hands on his hips, said with a laugh.

Witnessing Dekan's expression firsthand seemed to make her exceptionally happy.

"Okay, okay, I'll try my best."

Dekan raised his hands in surrender.

Despite his daily threats and warnings, Talomati always ended up angrily snatching his food and never carried out his threats.

This is what happens when there's thunder but no rain.
