Chapter 478 The Possession Group's Base
Night gradually covered the country.
The figures of Ayato and the others appeared before a desolate castle.
Before killing that Cursed Spirit...
Ayato had obtained some information.
For example, the location of the Possession Group's headquarters.
Just another good grinding spot.
"Master, I'm a bit cold."
"Master, I want a hug too."
Although Yukino and Hana had reached some kind of agreement...
They still couldn't avoid open and covert struggles.
Both of them were practically hanging on Ayato.
These two women...
Dorothy's eyelids twitched, her pretty face slightly red.
Did they have no modern sense of shame?
Competing for favor like this... was just too blatant.
Shizuka patted her shoulder. "This kind of thing is just child's play. You'll get used to it."
"???"
Dorothy blinked.
This was child's play?
Did you have a misunderstanding about those three words?
Was this servant group even more exaggerated than she had imagined?
Seeing this, a meaningful smile appeared on Shizuka's face.
All the servants...
Were Master's wings.
She glanced at Dorothy and muttered inwardly, "Judging by this child's performance, it'll be soon."
Dorothy: "..."
Why did she feel like Hiratsuka-sensei...
Was thinking something rude?
Walking into the castle, an eerie atmosphere hit them.
Instantly!
Dorothy couldn't afford to think wildly anymore.
Her keen Devil senses alerted her to something different.
It was as if this seemingly long-abandoned castle had become a demon's lair.
A sense of discomfort spread throughout her body.
Shizuka and the others, however, looked as usual.
The aura of Cursed Spirits was indeed strong here.
But even the weakest among them, Yukino, was already nearing the level of a High-Class Devil.
Not to mention, Ayato was with them.
It was just child's play.
"What, feeling uncomfortable?"
Ayato stopped, patted Dorothy's shoulder, and said, "Use your magic power to dispel the aura of these Cursed Spirits."
"Okay, Master."
Dorothy nodded and began to circulate her magic power. It did feel much better.
She clenched her fist and silently encouraged herself.
Dorothy, you need to be more assertive.
You're a Devil now, Master's servant. You can't be so useless.
"Master, we've probably been discovered."
Hana said, "What should we do? Should we give them a welcome gift?"
"Go ahead."
Ayato shrugged. "But don't go overboard. The main purpose this time is to train the newcomer."
"Mm, mm."
Hana agreed, her hand forming a gun shape.
Chii!
A spirit bullet shot out, landing directly on the castle gate in the distance.
Rumble!
The enormous castle instantly collapsed by a tenth. Countless stones scattered, accompanied by miserable wails.
Her control over Cursed Energy had advanced further.
It seemed she could be promoted to Satan level at any time.
Seeing this, a flicker of light appeared in Ayato's eyes.
He had to say...
If combat power wasn't considered, Hana, who could devour spirits, was definitely the fastest-improving among the shrine servants.
And at this moment.
Countless Cursed Spirits, like a tide, came rushing out madly.
"Th-this... so many Cursed Spirits?"
Seeing this exaggerated quantity, the timid Dorothy returned.
Almost instinctively.
She tugged at Ayato's sleeve.
"Most of them are intermediate Cursed Spirits?"
Hana licked her lips, a flash of excitement in her eyes.
Without hesitation.
Her figure leaped forward.
Seeing this!
Shizuka and Yukino also moved.
"Don't hide behind me either."
Ayato grabbed Dorothy by the collar. "Fight to your heart's content."
"I'm here. Nothing will go wrong."
Holy crap!
Dorothy felt the world spin.
Her own master... had thrown her out?
Was that something a person would do?
Wait.
Master was a Devil. That made it okay.
Coming to her senses.
Dorothy found herself surrounded by Cursed Spirits.
"D-don't come near me!"
Almost instinctively, Dorothy unleashed a magic power release, attacking indiscriminately in all directions.
Boom!
The blast of wind surged.
The surrounding Cursed Spirits were all crushed.
Dorothy blinked. "These Cursed Spirits... a-are so weak."
"You should say you're stronger."
Ayato said. "So, keep fighting. Don't get distracted."
Dorothy: "..."
Looking at her eyes, Ayato looked calm.
Giving her a Cursed Spirit target to practice on had been special treatment.
As for now...
She needed to fight with all her might.
His servants didn't allow for decoration.
