Chapter 529 Sekhmet's Action
Her body was continuously growing stronger.
So this was the power of a Devil?
No wonder Alexia had been able to defeat her so easily back then.
Feeling the surging power within her, a smile appeared on Iris's lips.
At the same time.
A crimson light bloomed before her eyes.
Then.
Another completely different, yet even more vast power surged into her body.
Unknowingly.
A faint red glow appeared on Iris's body, and exquisitely crafted armor, as if covered and assembled by countless dragon scales, covered her entire body.
"Indeed, a Reinforcement-type Balance Breaker."
Ayato nodded secretly.
And...
"She awakened her Balance Breaker so quickly. As expected of the kingdom's number one genius."
Hearing this, Iris's eyes lit up. "So that means my aptitude among Devils is also very good?"
"You could say that."
Ayato nodded.
Although all Evil Pieces were now the same...
Because of individual traits, there were still some differences.
For example, Saeko.
She had been an ordinary person before.
But now, she had reached the Satan level, becoming one of the top tier among the servants.
And Iris.
Although she had always lost to some cheaters in the original work...
If they started from the same starting line...
Then the outcome might have been different.
After all.
The kingdom's number one magic swordsman did have some weight.
"By the way, from today on, you're Iris Number Three."
Iris asked in surprise, "Why?"
"Because there's already a Big Iris and a Little Iris among the servants. Do you want to be called Middle Iris?" (T/N: As I've said in a lot of chapters before, Alice's name sounded the same as Iris in Chinese. And the first Iris is Irisviel.)
Iris: "..."
What kind of nonsense was this?
Wisely choosing not to pursue this question further, Iris changed the subject. "M-Master, what do I need to thank you for next?"
Although she was immersed in the joy of gaining power, she hadn't forgotten her true purpose.
"You're really quite suspicious."
Ayato said seriously. "I have no interest in the kingdom whatsoever."
"The focus of our actions now is finding Demon Possession and acquiring supernatural knowledge."
Sensing Ayato's sincerity.
Iris felt a bit embarrassed.
Was she being a bit too petty?
But.
If it was just these things...
She could definitely give it her all.
After all.
As long as it didn't harm the kingdom, she could do anything.
"Master, if you need anything, please just ask."
Iris gazed at Ayato and bowed slightly.
"Don't worry. Even if you didn't ask, I wouldn't let you off."
Ayato smiled. "Go discuss the specific details with Erica."
To quickly expand the intelligence network...
Having the assistance of someone with authority naturally brought twice the result with half the effort.
Originally.
Alexia had been the candidate.
But.
After a few days of interaction...
She was basically a mascot.
She had some power, but not much.
But Iris was definitely different.
Judging by the knights she had mobilized, she was definitely a princess with real power.
A few days later.
Everything proceeded in an orderly fashion.
One by one, the Cult's laboratories were destroyed by Erica and the others.
In a short time.
The number of Demon Possession rescued reached over a hundred.
And this was just the area near the royal capital. If the scope expanded further, the number would definitely be higher.
It probably wouldn't be long before his Demon Possession servants surpassed the Shadow Garden of the original work.
But in response.
Ayato showed no surprise.
After all.
An organization built by a Chuunibyou...
How could it compare to him?
He had money and people.
"It seems everything is on track."
Ayato murmured softly, taking out a magic book and flipping through it.
[Origin: 3331]
[Origin: 3332]
[Origin: 3336]
Watching the Origin points increase, Ayato read and added points simultaneously.
A golden light.
Flashed continuously on the virtual panel.
Finally.
[Ayato]
[Class: Origin Magician]
[Magic: Origin Lightning Magic LV99 (+)] (T/N: The RAW is written as LV99.)
[Origin: 1119 points]
"Finally leveled up again."
Looking at the text, a smile appeared on the corner of Ayato's mouth.
He clenched his fist slightly, a gleam of light in his eyes.
Compared to before.
His Origin magic power and physique had grown exponentially.
The higher the level of Origin Magic, the harder it was to upgrade.
But as long as it leveled up.
The increase in strength was earth-shattering.
Hum!
A light flashed.
Sekhmet's figure stepped out of the magic circle.
As the operation expanded...
More and more workers were being brought in.
Looking at Ayato, Sekhmet licked her lips.
No one else was around.
The timing was perfect.
