Fallen Angel, You Have a Death Wish

Esdeath said nothing, merely narrowing her eyes like a kitten.

Seeing this, Lin Luo raised a hand and lifted her chin.

Esdeath was an expert with a blade.

A good blade needed frequent cleaning.

And Lin Luo was no less interested in that field of knowledge than he was in magic.

Their discussion hit all the right notes, each complementing the other perfectly.

Upon learning that Lin Luo had returned, Najenda had just reached the palace doors when she immediately retreated.

"I can still hear them."

Leaning against a pillar and recalling the scene she had just witnessed, Najenda felt a mist cloud her eyes.

She glanced down, closed her eyes slightly, and began to tremble in both legs.

Before she knew it!

Heavy rain began falling from the sky.

The next day!

Early in the morning!

"Boss, did you not sleep well?"

Akame blinked as she looked at the dark circles under Najenda's eyes.

"I told you not to call me Boss anymore. I'm no longer the leader of Night Raid."

Najenda's face flushed slightly as she looked at Akame. "Are you here to see Master?"

"Yes!"

Akame pointed at Kurome, who was following behind her. "To be precise, I'm bringing her to see Master."

Once the Empire changed hands, the conflict between Akame and Kurome had naturally vanished.

"Right, she's your little sister."

Realization dawned on Najenda. "Does she need something?"

Although she asked that, Najenda already knew.

It seemed another woman was about to be devoured by Master, down to the last morsel.

"I have a favor to ask of Master."

Akame offered no specifics. After that brief explanation, she took Kurome's hand and walked into the palace.

Am I about to meet that Devil lord?

That was what Kurome thought as she followed behind Akame.

Quite some time had passed since she had reunited with Akame.

And so she had finally come to understand the true identity of the great figure who really controlled the Empire.

A Devil!

These fantastical creatures of legend actually existed.

At first, she had found it unbelievable.

But after seeing Akame's Devil transformation, she believed it.

Most importantly, her big sister had become so powerful.

Then!

She was tempted!

If I become a Devil, I should be able to escape the effects of the drugs.

Most importantly, if I become a Devil, I'll never have to be separated from my sister again, right?

And now!

That Devil lord had finally returned.

That was why she had asked her sister to bring her here.

No matter what, I have to win the Devil lord over.

With that thought, her eyes filled with determination.

At that moment!

Lin Luo stretched and freed himself from Esdeath's embrace.

Just as he was about to enjoy the breakfast that had long since been prepared, he saw Akame and her sister approaching.

"My lord Devil, please let me become your servant."

Before Lin Luo could speak, Kurome had already dropped to one knee.

So it's her!

Looking at Kurome, Lin Luo's expression showed a flicker of recognition.

"Master, please grant Kurome this opportunity."

Akame also knelt on one knee. "Akame is strong and can become your sword."

At long last, she no longer had to fight Kurome to the death.

Akame did not want to be separated from her again for any reason.

"Since it's a request from my servant..."

Lin Luo smiled and nodded at Kurome. "I can agree to that."

"Really?"

A flash of wild joy crossed Kurome's indifferent eyes.

"But you must understand that once you become a Devil, your body, your mind, and even your soul will belong to me."

Lin Luo spoke solemnly. "From then on, there will be no going back."

"I'm willing."

Kurome raised her head and looked straight into those ruby-red eyes.

Then!

Her pretty face flushed slightly.

I didn't notice just now, but this Devil lord really is as handsome as the rumors say.

That makes this even easier to accept.

Lin Luo took out a pawn piece and said, "Then let's begin the Devil reincarnation ritual."

"Okay!"

Kurome drew a breath, growing a little nervous.

Reincarnating as a Devil?

How exactly does that work?

Akame reminded her from the side, "Kurome, you need to take off your clothes..."

The moment she spoke, Akame decisively put those words into action.

Although she did not know why she needed to undress...

Following orders was what she did best. She would not question them.

Almost instantly!

Her top was already off, and she began removing her bottoms.

"Wait!"

Akame hurriedly said, "That's enough."

Her little sister was far too quick.

She had not even finished speaking!

"Oh!"

Kurome stopped. Although her expression remained unchanged, her skin trembled slightly.

Despite her swift, precise, and decisive movements, exposing herself to a man like this was still deeply embarrassing.

What a shame!

Disappointment flickered through Lin Luo's eyes before he said, "I'm going to begin."

"My lord Devil, go ahead."

"Mm..."

Kurome bit her lip gently, feeling the Evil Piece merge completely into her body.

What a strange feeling... What's surging inside me?

As that thought crossed her mind, Kurome's breathing grew rapid.

Elsewhere!

Mine and Sheele, who had come looking for Leone, happened to pass by and caught sight of the scene.

For a moment!

Both were dumbfounded, while Mine instantly turned bright red.

"Sh-shameless."

Mine stammered, "What are they doing?"

Sheele murmured, "I think it's the ritual for reincarnating as a Devil?"

"How come I've never heard of it?"

Mine's eyes widened. "Who told you that?"

"One time, Leone got drunk and told me a lot."

Chapter 38: Fallen Angel, You Have a Death Wish

Buzz!

The dark red magic circle gradually faded.

Kurome's appearance had barely changed, but she now exuded an uncanny aura.

Her Devil tail and wings also emerged naturally.

"So this is... the power of a Devil?"

Kurome blinked, delight appearing on her face.

She could feel that her dependence on the drugs had been completely swept away.

"Mm..."

Kurome's pupils contracted and her eyelashes trembled. Her legs went weak, and she sank to her knees.

She instinctively looked over, only to see that Lin Luo had taken her tail in his hand.

"My lord Devil!"

"Oh, shouldn't you change how you address me?"

Lin Luo smiled and tightened his grip slightly.

"Mm..."
