Chapter 914 Start of a Legend
[Riveria-san, let's calm down. Take a deep breath...] Kisuke panicked, [Come on, do it with me. Inhale~... Exhale~... One more time.]
Riveria sniffled but still followed Kisuke's instructions. But as she was doing so, a black shadow swept through the screen and she could only hear Kisuke say, [Oh cra-!!!], before he disappeared and the camera started to shake violently, "Kisuke!? Hello!? What's going on!?"
Riveria couldn't hear anything because of the excellent noise canceling feature of the call, but she could see dirt being thrown around when light hits the lens. A few seconds later, the shaking stopped and she saw Kisuke laying on the ground not far from where the camera was pointing, "Kisuke!? What happened!?"
Although it was only for a few more seconds, when she found no response from Kisuke, her heart sank once again, "Hey! Don't joke around! Where are you!?" And while shouting at top of her lungs, her free hand operated a separate crystal that would send a distress signal to the Belial House along with a small message.
Finally, Kisuke groaned and sat up while holding his head and muttering, [Guhh... Damn... Didn't think it'd have a final burst of energy before being partially sealed. Looks like it hated me more than anyone else in this space.]
As if a heavy lead was lifted, Riveria sighed in relief, "Hey... What's happening? Just where..." However, she had to stop in the middle of her question when Kisuke turned towards her and was horrified to see his bloodied face and missing arm, "Wait! Are you alright!?"
But before Kisuke could answer her, a tall man with black hair and gold bangs descended beside him while folding his twelve jet-black wings behind his back, [Still alive? Damn... Want some of my prosthetic arms? I've been improving them ever since I lost mine. I'll give you a discount.]
[I'll think about it if you'll give me a 100% discount.] Kisuke replied while white matter began to spill out from the stump of his arm and started to form a new one.
[...That's honestly nasty. Just how are you doing that? And this is what you get for flirting in front of a monster that could quite literally destroy the world a few times over.]
[Too bad I have my priorities straight, am I right?] Kisuke replied with a chuckle.
[Damn right. You're one of the few guys who'd ignore the threat to the world for a woman.]
Riveria could only remain silent at the two's back and forth until Azazel picked up the camera on Kisuke's side and addressed her, [So this is the Elf that you have been talking about? Nice to meet you. I'm Azazel. Former Governor of the Fallen Angels. Now I'm just an old man doing the hard work for the kids.]
"N-nice to meet you too. I'm Riveria Ljos Alf."
[I'm sorry to interrupt but I would have to take back this guy since he still has some work to do. Well, you were already interrupted by a slap to his face.]
"N-no. It's fine. Please be careful with whatever you're doing."
'Of course, we have to be careful. If I took that hit just now, my body would've exploded into a thousand pieces.' Azazel wanted to say but he didn't want to make her worry more since her face was already a mess.
[Hold on. I haven't gotten to the reason why I called yet.] Kisuke's voice resounded from behind and by this time, his arm was already almost fully formed, [Let's set aside the other issues for now and focus on your Demonic Power. If I'm guessing it right, you're probably overthinking it. Demonic Power manifests through the simplest of desires if you didn't inherit any bloodline ability. Heck, even an idiot could develop a nonsensical ability like reading the thoughts of breasts because he wanted to talk to boobs and breaking any female attire regardless of their strength, just because he wanted to see a nude body.]
Riveria shuddered and unconsciously covered her modest bosom with her arms, "Stop lying."
Azazel and Kisuke looked at each other before the latter replied, [...I wish I was.]
[He really is the worst enemy of women... Though only a woman could probably beat him into submission too.] Azazel muttered under his breath.
[In any case, if you want something, just take it. Stop thinking of how it works and just express your selfishness to the world.]
"...Just take it?"
[Yes. Whatever you want, just take it. If you don't own it, just take it. If it doesn't exist, just make it and take it. All you have to do is to desire it. Devils are beings of desire, but they don't let themselves be controlled by it. Instead, they take pride in it.]
"..."
[Well, that's everything I want to say. Contact me here if you want to talk, but I can't guarantee that I'll be able to answer. Goodbye and good luck.]
Kisuke ended the call without waiting for Riveria's response. Not that she had any because she only quietly stood in her spot for almost half an hour while thinking about his words, 'Even idiots can do it, huh?...'
And while Kisuke was just giving Riveria a vague idea of how to use her Demonic Power, he'd be shocked to know that she'd take it quite literally and would develop an original ability that even Ajuka would fear.
'...Just take it...' Riveria repeated those words over and over again in her mind until she came up with her own skewed conclusion, 'In other words... Just make everything mine.'
With a specific path finally emerging in her mind, Riveria regained her motivation and forgoed eating her breakfast to try out new and exciting things. After setting aside her issue with Kisuke for now, it only took her under three hours to use her Demonic Power to regain her abilities as 'Nine Hell'.
However, she wouldn't stop there and would use another six hours to learn Ais' very own 'Tempest' from her own memories.
It was the start of the legend who was going to soon be called the 'Copy Mage' and later, the 'Akashic Queen' that will rise to fame due to her unique ability, 'Records of the Queen'. A literal nightmare for all ability users.
It'd be two days later that she'd be discovered by a certain lost Shinigami.
