Lynn couldn't help but admire the sight. Now that's what you call a Leviathan.
"Lord Lynn, take a look," Katerea said with a flattering smile, like a madam flaunting her top girlthe crown jewel of the whole damn brothel.
"This is Ingvild Leviathan. She's been asleep for over a hundred years due to the devil Sleep Disease."
Katerea was feeling nervous. Would this sleeping beauty be to Lynn's taste?
If Lynn decided to keep her... Maybe, just maybe, he'd spare a fellow Leviathan like herself?
Lynn rubbed his chin, staring at the sleeping girl.
"How long until she wakes up?"
Katerea hesitated, then replied awkwardly, "Well it should be soon, probably?"
Truth was, she had no clue.
Lynn shot her a side glancehe could tell she was bluffing.
But oh well...
He wasn't planning to wait anyway.
"Open the coffin."
"Yes, sir!"
Katerea wiped sweat off her brow and opened the crystal lid.
Lynn stepped forward and ran his fingers gently along Ingvild Leviathan's flawless body.
Then
Riiip
Her clothes tore apart in an instant.
Katerea bit her lip.
Wait, is he really gonna do it like that? So he's total scum trash but with super devil power?
This world is so messed up, dammit.
Lynn noticed the strange look on Katerea's face but didn't say a word. He simply gathered magic in his hand.
And then
A glowing Devil's Piece formed in his palm.
.
.
.
Noble Phantasm
Katerea Leviathan's eyes flicked to the Devil piece in Lynn's hand, a flash of realization crossing her face.
So, he planned to accept Ingvild into his peerage?
But
She glanced over at the still-sleeping Ingvild Leviathan, her expression a little strange.
Such a sleeping beauty... would she actually be useful?
Well maybe that's not quite right. Sleeping beauties have their own special uses.
And besidesWith that delicate face and a figure that looked practically divine... It's normal for a man to feel it a bit.
...
Lynn didn't hesitate at all. He simply pressed the Devil's piece into Ingvild Leviathan's body.
Yep, from the frontjust under her big.....
Buzz
A glow of light flashed through the room.
[Ding! You've gained a new familia: Ingvild Leviathan!]
[Ding! Your familia 'Ingvild Leviathan' has been reborn as a Special-Class Devil!]
At the same time, a powerful energy surged into Lynn from Ingvild's body as a kind of feedback.
But system notifications could waithis eyes were glued just under Ingvild's big melons.
A second later, the light faded, and her newly engraved "Blessing Information" appeared before his eyes:

"High-Class Devil"
Lynn raised an eyebrow.
If he remembered right, Ingvild was a half-Devil, right?
And she'd been asleep for over a hundred years...
He didn't expect her to still have this kind of power.
Lynn fell into thought, his gaze drifting downward.
"Noble Phantasm, huh"
His eyes narrowed slightly.
So now her Sacred Gear is being listed under her Blessing Info as a Noble Phantasm?
Interesting.
And most likely, her strength as a High-Class Devil was also tied to this Phantasm.
It made sense.
After all, it was a Sacred Gear with god-slaying potential.
He focused on the abilities of the [Nereid Kyrie / Poem of Endless Green Sea].
Control over dragons and the seaboth extremely powerful.
And paired with her Sea Devil skill set, she was definitely a sleeper powerhouse.
Then
[Ding! You've acquired the 'Sea' power!]
Another eyebrow lifted.
Within the space of the [Devil Pieces], alongside the existing concepts of 'Sun' and 'Gravity', 'Sea' had now joined the mix.
Lynn stroked his chin and opened up the [Devil Space]. He noticed faint connections forming between constellations and Devil pieces, some even triggering minor tidal phenomena.
"It's really starting to feel like a fully-formed universe in here."
"Mm"
Suddenly
The purple-haired girl in the ice coffin let out a soft groan, snapping Lynn out of his thoughts.
Ingvild Leviathan slowly opened her eyes, dazed and confused.
Her gaze landed on Lynn's face.
"You're awake?" he said calmly. "The surgery was a success."
Ingvild Leviathan: "...?"
She blinked, still dizzy.
Surgery?
What surgery?
But Why did she feel kind of chilly?
She glanced downand froze.
Wait, wait, wait
SHE WASN'T WEARING ANYTHING?!
"Kyaaaa!"
She screamed, instantly curling into a tight ball.
Her eyes flicked nervously toward Lynn, then darted away. Her face flushed with embarrassment as she hugged her knees tighter.
"Ingvild, you're finally awake."
Katerea Leviathan stepped forward, though her gaze couldn't help but drift to the spot where Ingvild's Blessing Info had been engraved.
What was that?
She didn't recognize the script.
She was really curious.
Hearing the familiar voice, Ingvild looked up and exclaimed in surprise, "Katerea!"
"How long was I asleep?!"
Katerea shrugged. "Over a hundred years, probably?"
"...What?"
Ingvild was stunned.
"You're telling me I went to sleep as a 17-year-old girl and woke up as a hundred-year-old grandma?"
And not just that
Her family was probably long gone by now.
A hint of sadness filled her eyes.
She had been living among humans as a half-Devil until her sleep disease forced her to follow Katerea here.
And the moment she arrivedboom. Hundred-year nap.
Smack!
Katerea flicked her forehead. "I'm older than you, you know!"
"Ow!"
Ingvild winced, rubbing her forehead instinctivelyand in doing so, exposed her figure to Lynn again.
As if sensing his gaze, she froze.
Then, panicked, she dropped her hand and covered herself again, whispering awkwardly, "Katerea W-who is this person?"
Katerea replied with a wry look, "Your Master."
"M-Master?!"
Ingvild's eyes shot up to Lynn's. Her heart skipped a beat.
Katerea continued, "He's the one who cured your Devil Sleep Disease, by the way. If not for him, who knows how long you'd have been out."
"Eh?"
Ingvild blinked, then looked at Lynn againthis time with a bit of awe.
So he had saved her?
Unavoidably, a fairytale popped into her head.
A sleeping beauty And her prince.
Her cheeks turned even redder. She lowered her head, avoiding eye contact.
"I I'll find a way to repay you."
Lynn gave a small smile, gently placing a hand on her long hair.
"You already have."
"Ha?"
Ingvild looked confused.
Lynn tapped her chest where the Blessing Info was engraved.
"Your body already carries my mark."
Her eyes widened. She glanced down at the strange symbols on her skin.
And remembered what Katerea had called him earlierMaster.
Her heart pounded faster.
So that meant
She now belonged to this man?
The thought made her feel lostand something else she couldn't quite name.
She had woken up to find herself a century older, her family gone and now she had a Master?
Lynn ruffled her hair.
"Now, move your hands."
"...!"
She froze again, eyes wide.
Move her hands?
D-does he mean?! And now?!
Her face turned crimson, her ears practically steaming.
"...Huff"
Her breath quickened as she slowly, awkwardly lowered her hands.
Lynn calmly imprinted her Blessing Info into his system.
Ingvild sat there dazed, blinking as the info transferred.
He explained what the Blessing Info meant.
"I see" Katerea muttered, her eyes gleaming.
Wasn't this basically a cheat code for infinite growth?
Her heart thumped.
She turned to look at Ingvild, her emotions mixed.
Wait...
Could she get that blessing too?
The thought struck her, and without hesitation, she dropped to one knee before Lynn.
"Lord Lynn, Katerea is willing to serve you loyally and without question!"
Lynn raised an eyebrow, a half-smile tugging at his lips as he looked down at her.
Katerea froze, tension radiating from her body. She didn't even dare to breathe.
The room went dead silent.
A thin sheen of sweat appeared on her forehead.
Even without a word, Lynn's pressure alone was suffocating.
Was he going to reject her?
Was he going to kill her?
Just as her thoughts turned grim, Lynn finally spoke.
"Alright."
Her eyes widened. Her entire body relaxed in an instant.
Thud!
She collapsed to the floor, panting for air.
Only then did she realizeshe was soaked in sweat.
Her face showed the relief of someone who had just avoided death.
She really thoughtShe was done for.
But thank goodness
She looked up at Lynn with a smile, trying to curry favor.
Lynn, on the other hand, remained expressionless.
The [Devil's Piece] skill reacted to her, confirming she had the potential to join the familia.
And her strengthon par with a Maouwasn't something he could overlook.
Until now, the strongest feedback he'd ever gotten was from an Ultimate-Class Devil at best.
So
Looking down at her, his voice flat and cold, he simply said:
"Strip."
.
.
.
Super Devil!
As soon as she heard Lynn's command
Even though her body was still a bit weak and sore, Katerea Leviathan didn't hesitate in the slightestshe immediately began undressing.
After witnessing the full process of Ingvild Leviathan's ritual, Katerea had zero objections to Lynn's demands.
In fact, she even added a little flair of her own.
She only needed to expose her upper body for the ritual but she stripped completely.
Watching yet another dark-skinned beauty undress in front of him, Lynn couldn't help but feel like he was on some kind of lucky streak latelydark-skinned girls just kept showing up.
Without delay, he summoned a devil piece and firmly pressed it against Katerea's chest.
"Mmh~"
The cold sensation made her body shiver.
A strange, unfamiliar energy surged through her, making her let out a soft moan.
The wounds on her body that had been corroded by the power of light also began to slowly heal under the effect of the reincarnation process.
Crack crack
She could faintly hear something breaking inside her.
A sudden lightness washed over her entire body.
Her heart pounded wildly! Her blood was boiling!
Her breath became erratic as both her body and mind buzzed with excitement.
The power that had been stagnant for centuries felt like it was finally breaking free from its chains.
A flash of realization lit up in Katerea's eyes.
This blessing had shattered her limits!
Clenching her fists, she was visibly shaken with emotion.
She knew her body better than anyone.
For three hundred yearsthree full centuriesher strength had been stuck at the same level.
That long plateau had made one thing crystal clear to her:
She had a limit.
No not just her.
Shalba and the others had limits too.
That's why they sought out the power of the Infinite Dragon God why they ended up joining that so-called Khaos Brigade.
But now? The power of the Snake?
Pfft!
She didn't need it anymore!
Just as Katerea was reeling from the emotional impact, a notification chimed in Lynn's ears.
[Ding! You've acquired a new familia: "Katerea Leviathan"!]
"...That's it?"
Lynn blinked in surprise.
WaitKaterea didn't reincarnate into a special devil?
Huh. That's unexpected.
He stroked his chin thoughtfully. It was just a bit of a shame.
After all, Katerea was the first Maou-level follower he'd acquired.
Pushing that minor disappointment aside for now, Lynn looked down at the glowing symbol on Katerea's chest.
The glow faded, revealing her blessing info:
[Katerea Leviathan]
Rank: Maou (Devil King)
Position: Bishop
Race: Devil
Master: Lynn Valifer
Stats:
Strength: I0 Agility: I0 Endurance: I0 Magic: I0
Position Skill: Magic Resistance
Unique Skills: [Devil King's Remains], [Contract of the Snake] & [Mutual Destruction at the End]
[Devil King's Remains]
All magic attacks apply "Chaotic Corrosion," continuously weakening enemy defenses.
When HP is below 50%, magic output increases by 50%.
[Contract of the Snake]
Summons the illusion of the "Infinite Snake," granting the following effects:
+30% stat boost
Instant spellcasting
Space Lock (prevents teleportation or escape abilities within a set area)
[Mutual Destruction at the End]
When HP falls below 10%, automatically triggers Self-Destruction Ritual: transforms the body into abyssal tendrils to bind enemies and releases a 1km-radius magic annihilation explosion.
Explosion damage bypasses enemy magic resistance
100% the user dies
Lynn rubbed his chin, carefully reading through the info.
Considering Katerea's Maou-level strength, her skillset was honestly, kind of average.
The [Contract of the Snake] obviously tied into the 'snake' power sealed inside her.
[Mutual Destruction at the End]yeah, that must be the self-destruct technique from the original story.
Lynn raised an eyebrow at that one. He couldn't help but wonder why she hadn't tried using it on him earlier.
Not that it would've made much difference.
He made a copy of her blessing info, handed it to her, then activated a special ability with a simple thought
[Receive feedback from: Katerea Leviathan.]
BOOM!!
In an instant
It felt like a bomb went off inside Lynn's body!
His magic power and physical stats skyrocketed at a totally unreasonable speed.
