Chapter 598 Yukime Understands Master's Greatness
"It seems you've misunderstood some things."
Ayato smiled slightly, playing with the Evil Piece in his hand.
"But whether I am a Devil or a god, I can save your tribe right now."
"And all you need to do is make a deal with me."
He placed the Evil Piece before Yukime's eyes and smiled. "So, what is your choice?"
Yukime was silent for a moment. Conflict flickered in her eyes.
But hearing the screams outside, all her emotions turned to determination.
She took a deep breath and said firmly, "Whether you are a god or a Devil, you are my savior."
"And if it means saving my people, I am willing to pay any price."
"Even becoming a Devil?"
Hearing Ayato's words, Yukime's eyes were calm.
At this point.
She had no choice left.
She gazed into Ayato's eyes and said seriously, "Even becoming a Devil."
"Even if you, my savior, are deceiving me, even if you want to take my soul, take it."
"Just please, save as many of my people as you can."
Yukime's words were filled with an emotion called determination.
"Admirable resolve."
Ayato paused, then grinned.
"But don't worry. My words are not false."
Hearing this, a smile appeared on Yukime's face.
"Then, Mr. Devil, nice to meet you."
"Good. Nice to meet you too."
Ayato smiled slightly. "Now, let's begin the Reincarnation Ceremony."
"Yes."
Yukime nodded.
But her expression became somewhat apprehensive.
What would the Reincarnation Ceremony to become a Devil be like?
"Come, first take off your outer clothes."
"..."
Yukime's pupils contracted. Confusion appeared in her eyes.
T-take off clothes?
Could that be related to the Reincarnation Ceremony?
Or...
A certain thought barely surfaced before she shook it out of her head.
Her savior was a Devil.
With such great power.
If he wanted to do something to her, she couldn't resist.
After a moment.
She began to move.
Revealing a gray-white undergarment and some fair skin.
Yukime clutched her outer clothes and said timidly, "What else needs to be done?"
Ayato glanced and said, "Just lower the clothes you're holding a bit."
As expected, just this.
Yukime breathed a slight sigh of relief, lowering her arms slightly.
Seeing this, Ayato didn't hesitate. He pressed the Evil Piece onto her smooth skin.
"Mmph..."
Yukime's body trembled. Her face flushed slightly.
Regardless.
This was the first time in her life she had been like this before someone.
Even if he was a Devil.
He was still a man.
But soon, she couldn't afford to overthink.
Thump! Thump-thump!
Her heartbeat quickened, sounding deafening in Yukime's ears.
She could feel her blood boiling. Her flesh, bones, cells, and organs all underwent earth-shattering changes in a short time.
Especially.
An itch on her skin.
As if something was about to burst out.
The next moment.
Yukime's figure floated up.
A pair of black wings fluttered on her back, no one knew when.
"I... I can fly?"
Yukime spun in circles, expressing her joy.
A tail kept swinging back and forth before Ayato.
Seeing this, Ayato instinctively pinched it, gently rubbing.
"Hiss."
Yukime's body stiffened. She fell from the sky.
This is it. Will it hurt?
Just as this thought passed, the anticipated impact didn't come. Instead, she fell into a warm embrace.
"Mr-Mr. Devil."
Looking at that handsome face, Yukime's pretty face flushed slightly.
"My name is Ayato. You can call me brother, or master."
"M-master."
Yukime's feet touched the ground. She straightened her clothes and quickly tucked her tail away.
"Oh, take a look at this."
Ayato turned his hand over, and a basic magic book appeared in his hand.
"What is this?"
"Knowledge my servants need to master."
"Oh."
Yukime nodded half-understanding, then began flipping through it.
Though she wasn't very literate, she could understand all the contents.
And the more she read.
The brighter her eyes became.
So her master was an even greater being than a god.
The overlord of the earth, one who seized the Authority of gods?
Vaguely, a look of yearning and admiration emerged deep in her eyes.
