"Accept the power of the Devil. Be reborn as my servant, and you shall have a new life."

A voice echoed in Yuuma Tokoyogi's mind as she lay semi-conscious. Having lost her purpose, she was given a new reason to live.

Without hesitation, Yuuma accepted the Devil's power.

The [Evil Piece] merged with her body, and a powerful force enveloped her, lifting her into the air.

Aya Tokoyogi watched with mild interest but nothing more. She had bigger plans.

"Natsuki, it's time to wake up." Aya's gaze was fixed on Natsuki, who lay on the chair behind Roy.

A sigh echoed through the hall.

Natsuki's eyes fluttered open.

She had been awake, struggling to maintain the Prison Barrier.

But Aya had still managed to escape.

"Aya, go back. I won't let you cause any trouble," Natsuki said calmly.

Aya was no match for her, especially within the Prison Barrier, where Natsuki had complete control over space.

Aya's expression changed. She had intended to use Yuuma to injure or even kill Natsuki.

But her plan had failed, and now she was trapped.

While she was outside the barrier, the magic within it was still active. If she were injured or summoned, she would be imprisoned again.

Thinking of this, Aya's face darkened.

"Natsuki-chan, I'm here to take you home. And this—Prison Barrier is an eyesore. I think I'll just destroy it," Roy said, approaching them.

Natsuki's eye twitched. This guy acted on whims, with no regard for the consequences. He was such a nuisance!

But she couldn't do anything about it.

Aya's eyes lit up, hearing Roy's words.

"He's right. This prison is unnecessary. You want her? I'll give her to you. Just destroy the Prison Barrier," Aya offered, gesturing towards Natsuki, then at Yuuma.

Roy looked at her strangely.

"Have you gone crazy after being locked up for so long? She's already mine."

Yuuma had accepted the [Evil Piece] and become his servant.

He didn't need Aya's permission.

"You…" Aya was furious. How dare he be so shameless?!

"Even if I destroy the Prison Barrier, I'll still eliminate all the criminals for Natsuki-chan. So…" Roy smirked, his gaze fixed on Aya.

"Hmph, we'll see if you're capable of that," Aya scoffed, unfazed by his threat.

"Heh… In that case…"

Roy's lips curled into a smile as he unleashed his magic power, engulfing the entire Prison Barrier.

"Impossible!" Aya was shocked by the sheer intensity of his magic.

Was this man a Primogenitor?

How else could he possess such power?

"Begone!"

Roy lifted everyone into the air with his magic, then extended a hand towards the Prison Barrier.

The entire structure began to crumble.

Natsuki gritted her teeth. She couldn't stop him.

As the Prison Barrier collapsed, the prisoners within were exposed.

They looked around in terror, unsure of what was happening.

Screams echoed through the air as everything was destroyed.

The Prison Barrier vanished before their eyes.

"Th-this…" Aya stared in disbelief. He had casually destroyed the Prison Barrier! It was a good thing she was outside. Otherwise, she would have been annihilated along with it.

"W-who are you?" she asked, her voice trembling.

"I am the Demon Lord—and your future master," Roy chuckled.

"Hmph! Without the Prison Barrier—you can't trap me!" Aya sneered, preparing to escape.

But as she tried to teleport, she realized the surrounding space was locked. She couldn't escape.

"Impossible!"

"It seems you haven't learned your lesson. Fortunately, someone is here to teach you some manners." Roy glanced at Yuuma, who was undergoing her Devil transformation.

The light surrounding her faded. The ritual was complete.

<><><><><><>

"Master!" Yuuma bowed before Roy.

"Yuuma, just call me Roy. You're my servant now, part of the family," Roy said with a nod.

Yuuma's eyes welled up. She finally had a reason to exist, a place to belong. She was no longer just a disposable tool.

"Thank you, Roy."

"You're welcome. Now, how about you punish her?" Roy gestured towards Aya.

Yuuma looked at Aya, a flicker of sadness in her eyes, but it quickly vanished.

Aya had abandoned her. They were no longer mother and daughter.

Yuuma's only family now was Roy.

Her gaze hardened as she looked at Aya, her expression devoid of emotion.

Roy smirked. This was interesting. He wondered if Aya would have such an easy time begging for Yuuma's forgiveness later.

It would be quite entertaining.

"Go ahead, Yuuma. Punish her," Roy said with a smile.

"Yes!"

Yuuma nodded and charged towards Aya, her Devil wings flapping powerfully.

After becoming a Devil, Yuuma's power had reached the peak of a High-class Devil.

She was practically invincible below the Ultimate-class.

However, the magic she used was taught by Aya. It would be a close fight.

Seeing that their battle would take a while, Roy turned his attention to Natsuki.

"Natsuki-chan, it's your turn to form a contract with me," he said with a grin.

"That's impossible. I already have a contract with a Devil," Natsuki said, shaking her head.

She didn't think it was possible to form another contract while already bound to another Devil.

"That's easy to fix. We just need to break your current contract, or eliminate that Devil," Roy chuckled.

Natsuki was speechless. That did seem like a solution, but it felt wrong somehow.

But considering Roy's power, it wasn't surprising.

"So, Natsuki-chan, you agree?" Roy smirked.

"That Devil trapped you in the Prison Barrier for so many years. I think it's only fair to eliminate him."

He extended his hand towards Natsuki.

A surge of magic flowed into her, pinpointing the location of her Devil contract.

Then, he used the contract to locate the Devil in Hell.

"Found him." Roy smiled.

A rift opened before them, revealing the Devil on the other side.

He had red skin and horns—a typical demonic appearance.

"So that's a Devil. He's ugly!"

"Yeah, he's hideous!"

"Hey, don't forget, we're Devils now."

"We're not like him!"

<><><><><><>

Asagi, Nagisa—and the others commented on the Devil's appearance.

"So this is the Devil Natsuki-chan formed a contract with? He looks—stupid," Roy chuckled, turning to Natsuki.

Natsuki was stunned. He had found the Devil so easily?

The Devil, seeing the rift, was overjoyed.

As a Devil from Hell—his greatest desire was to visit the human world. He had formed a contract with Natsuki hoping for a chance to escape.

Now that a rift had opened—he couldn't resist. He leaped towards it.

"Heh, he actually thinks he can escape," Roy scoffed.

He flicked his finger, and a blue beam shot out, striking the Devil in the chest.

The Devil froze solid before he could even react.

His momentum carried him forward, and he crashed to the ground, his frozen body shattering into pieces.

With the Devil's death, Natsuki's contract was automatically broken.

Roy closed the rift and turned to Natsuki with a smile.

"Natsuki-chan, you're free now."

He offered her an [Evil Piece]. His intentions were clear.

Nagisa, Yukina, and the other girls watched her, waiting for her decision.

Natsuki sighed. She knew she couldn't escape him. And if he were to act recklessly, no one could stop him.

Besides, she had to admit, being with Roy wasn't so bad. While he constantly teased her, she felt a warmth she had never experienced before.

Without saying a word, she took the [Evil Piece].

Roy's lips curled into a smile. It seemed his efforts hadn't been in vain.
