Falling into demonhood

Right... right.

She had promised to belong to Mr. Demon.

She said timidly, "Um, could we not rush things?"

"At least let us spend some time together first."

She really couldn't just climb straight into Mr. Demon's bed.

Chapter 41: Falling into demonhood

"Um... haven't you misunderstood something?"

Seeing Asia's reaction, Lind couldn't help laughing. "Actually, I just wanted you to become my servant."

"In other words, to reincarnate as a demon."

Asia froze for a moment.

"Not marry Mr. Demon?"

"That interpretation isn't exactly wrong, either."

Lind smiled. "After all, a servant is someone who serves their master."

So it really was like that after all.

Asia let out an inward wail.

Was I, who served the Lord, really going to fall and become a demon?

With a sigh, Asia nodded. "All right. Let me become a demon."

"You agreed just like that?"

Lind looked rather surprised.

He had prepared a whole slew of manipulative arguments.

Now he wouldn't need any of them.

"Because I already promised you, Mr. Demon."

Asia smiled. "And you saved my life. That's a fact, too."

Most importantly...

Mr. Demon was a good person.

Thinking it over carefully...

Even with her unwavering faith, she had still ended up like this.

Abandoned by the Church and hunted by fallen angels.

It seemed the demons were the only ones left who could offer her a place to belong.

Seeing this, Lind got straight to the point. "Then take off your outer clothes."

Asia: "???"

Her eyes widened, her pupils contracting sharply.

She wanted to say something, but the words died on her lips.

Did becoming a demon require taking off her clothes?

She wanted to ask, but in the end, she only sighed.

Whatever happened...

She had already made her choice.

"Phew!"

Asia took a deep breath and shakily removed her nun's habit, leaving only her white undergarments.

Her body trembled, her gaze darting away. She didn't dare meet Lind's eyes.

"All right, let's begin."

Without further hesitation, Lind drew blood from his index finger.

If he delayed any longer...

He really feared this little nun would faint on the spot.

That was all?

Hearing Lind's words, Asia let out a great sigh of relief.

The next moment...

A searing sensation spread across her skin.

She instinctively looked down, only to see mysterious letters flash briefly before vanishing.

Her body rapidly heated up, and a surge of power coursed through her.

As her blood and cells were transformed, she clenched her teeth tightly.

No!

I couldn't cry out.

That would be far too embarrassing.

[Asia Argento]

[Race: demon]

[Master: Lind Lucifer]

[Level: L9]

[Skill: Curse of the Holy Mother]

[Curse of the Holy Mother: can convert her healing ability into an ability that inflicts damage.]

Curse of the Holy Mother.

Lind's expression turned peculiar.

If he remembered correctly...

Wasn't Asia's Sacred Gear supposed to be Smile of the Holy Mother?

This skill's effect was the complete opposite of Smile of the Holy Mother.

It was practically tailor-made for her.

It strengthened Asia's offensive capabilities.

Meanwhile...

Asia looked rather dazed.

Had she... become a demon, just like that?

Her body did seem to have grown much stronger.

And...

She could sense her wings and tail.

As she mulled it over, she began to feel a chill.

"Oh, right! My habit!"

Asia cried out, her face immediately flushing.

"Phew!"

She hurriedly put her outer clothes back on, only then breathing a sigh of relief.

"So? How does it feel to become a demon?"

"I don't know how to describe it."

Asia's expression was complicated. Then she sighed, clasped her hands, and prayed softly. "Almighty Lord, please forgive my actions. I have not forsaken... ah... ow, ow, ow..."

Lind: "..."

Right.

He had forgotten about that.

Still, this girl really hadn't grasped her situation.

Watching Asia nearly cry from the pain, Lind reminded her helplessly, "You're a demon now. If you don't want to suffer anymore, you'd better stop praying."

"How could this be...?"

Asia looked stunned.

Even her right to pray had been taken away.

Like a deflated balloon, she seemed to lose all her color.

Then...

A sheet of paper appeared in front of her.

"Take a look at this. Get your mind off it."

"What's this?"

"Your stats."

Lind briefly explained the status panel.

Asia looked surprised at his explanation.

Did becoming a demon come with something this amazing, too?

Then she turned her attention to her stats.

First...

She saw Lind's name.

So this was my master now.

An unfamiliar feeling stirred in Asia's heart, and she instinctively looked at Lind.

Feeling her heartbeat quicken a little, she hurriedly averted her gaze and focused on her skill.

[Curse of the Holy Mother].

Asia's pupils contracted sharply.

This skill left her with rather mixed feelings.

She clearly didn't like fighting.

Was it because heaven wanted her to take a completely new step?

Creak—

Just then, the villa's front door was pushed open.

Shiho Miyano, who had just returned home, spotted Lind immediately.

Her eyes lit up at once.

He had been away for so long.

Had he finally come back?

But she soon noticed Asia beside Lind, and her body stiffened slightly.

Vermouth covered her mouth and laughed. "It looks like this is our new companion."

Akemi Miyano said in surprise, "She's a nun?"

Had their master's tastes already developed this far?
