The next moment.
Two pairs of Devil Wings burst from her body.
A tail with a Heart-Shaped Tail Tip emerged, swaying lazily.
"I... I'm really a devil now?"
Merry instinctively clenched her fists, feeling how utterly different her body had become.
Her strength itself didn't seem to have changed much.
But she could feel it.
Some restraint within her seemed to have vanished completely.
It felt as though she only needed to train.
Then she could soon break through her current limits and bring her strength to an entirely new level.
"How do you feel?"
"Better than ever, I'd say."
Merry sighed in wonder, and the way she looked at Lin Luo changed ever so slightly.
"Good."
Lin Luo smiled faintly.
Light flashed in his hand, and a Basic Magic Book appeared. He handed it to Merry.
"What's this?"
"Knowledge you need to master."
Lin Luo gave her a brief explanation.
"I see."
Merry murmured softly to herself and began leafing through it.
"So Mr. Devil's name is Lin Luo."
Reading the introduction at the top, Merry silently repeated it a few times, committing the name to memory.
Then.
She read on.
At first, her expression remained fairly normal.
But the farther she read, the wider her eyes grew.
By the end.
Her face was filled with shock.
The King who slew gods.
The Judge of the Three Great Factions: angels, fallen angels, and devils.
Each title was more frightening, more terrifying than the last.
Just what sort of master had I found?
Merry asked herself, feeling her heart pound violently.
Why did it feel like...
I'd landed an unbelievably good deal lately?
"Oh, right. As usual, I need to grant you a blessing."
"A blessing?"
Merry blinked and began rapidly turning the pages.
Blessings...
