"Planning to leave after showing yourself?"
Kaiser eyed her, lips curving in amusement.
The star spirit shivered, her ample figure quivering occasionally.
What was this man?
Mere gaze pressure—terrifying.
She felt near collapse under invisible oppression.
"Master, she looks in pain."
Anna tugged his sleeve.
Next instant, pressure vanished.
"Phew!"
Star spirit staggered, nearly plunging into the lake.
"Now—still leaving?"
Kaiser stepped to lake's edge.
"…"
Star spirit silent moment; waved closing passage behind, then sensibly: "Sorry—rude earlier."
Truly frightened.
This man—incomprehensibly powerful.
Across endless ages, first such terror.
Heroes, past demon kings—none instilled suffocating fear with gaze alone.
This self-proclaimed devil—unfathomably deep.
Meanwhile, Freya pouted.
Submitted so quick?
Wasted anticipation.
Discovered enjoying others' bloodshed—nice hobby.
"Fine—I'm magnanimous."
Kaiser waved dismissively. "Business now."
"Yes, Lord Devil."
Star spirit nodded obediently. "Per ancient pact, grant elven power."
"Arms crushing all, legs soaring winds, ears hearing afar, eyes piercing truth."
"Which desire, Lord Devil?"
Expectant gaze.
Just clock-out worker.
Finish quick—escape this terror.
"None."
"???"
Star spirit blinked weakly. "Then why summon?"
Kaiser glanced, smiling. "Simple—want you mine."
"Ah?"
Star spirit flushed. "No—perverted devil."
"Master, refused."
Freya excited. "Attack then."
Attack—me?
Naked threat.
Glanced expressionless Kaiser, then eager Freya; sighed.
No escape chance.
Star spirit forced smile worse than crying; ancient curtsy.
"Lord Devil—honor to be yours."
Freya eyed Kaiser: "Good job?"
"Mm—reward later."
Kaiser smiled; floated forward to her.
Extended finger; golden blood seeped.
Seeing, star spirit blinked puzzled. "Lord Devil—what?"
"Reincarnation ritual."
Kaiser explained. "Reincarnate devil—my peerage member."
Star spirit paused.
Misunderstood?
Abandon elf identity for devil?
Thought; bitter smile.
Still no choice.
Realizing, oddly no deep sorrow.
Fate irresistible—enjoy.
Curious about devils.
Race birthing such strength?
"Fine—begin."
Star spirit inhaled. "Ritual needs cooperation?"
Kaiser eyed garb; shook head. "Leave to me."
"All yours, Lord Devil."
"Wait."
Star spirit's eyes bulged. "Why pulling clothes?"
Furious. "Knew it—ulterior motives."
Kaiser expressionless; dripped blood on skin. "Overthinking—fabric hindrance."
"Peerage means fully mine—lifelong service."
S-Service?
Star spirit flushed deeply; pupils quivered.
Same as initial?
Worse—devil now?
More loss?
But mark emerged—no more wild thoughts.
"Mmm…"
Body changing.
Essence altering.
Itchy…
Next!
Pale green wings vanished; long black devil wings emerged.
Heart-tipped tail wiggled out.
"No longer elf?"
Turning to wings and tail; complex expression, pinched instinctively.
"Hiss…"
Inhaled sharply; cheeks pinkened.
Just tail.
Devils proper?
Ignoring musings, Kaiser focused attributes.
[Star Spirit]
[Race: Devil]
[Master: Kaiser Lucifuge]
[Level: LV40]
[Skill: Star Spirit Form]
[Star Spirit Form: Transform star spirit—arms crush mountains, legs soar skies, ears hear distant, emerald eyes pierce truth.]
…
Skill intriguing.
Kaiser thoughtful.
Seemingly many skills fused.
And…
Woman named Star Spirit?
No hesitation; asked.
"Yes—true name."
Star spirit proud. "Among elves, star spirit unique, noble."
"Only my death births new—name singular."
"I see."
Kaiser nodded. "Granted others elven power?"
"No."
Star spirit deflated. "Newly star spirit—met Master soon."
Words out; paper before her.
"This?"
"Your attributes—similar yet different from world's class panels."
Kaiser casual explanation.
"Oh?"
Star spirit brightened, scanning eagerly.
"Star Spirit Form?"
Skill description—lips uncontainable.
Means devil yet retain star spirit form.
No loss—only Master gained.
Devil-elf hybrid—cool.
Most importantly—free from elf realm; wander.
