Miko stumbled and sat on the ground, completely drained of strength.
She watched the evil spirits charging towards her.
Miko felt like they were playing unfairly, even resorting to entrapment!
It seemed she was in dire straits.
Watching the evil spirits, tongues lolling out, rushing towards her from close by, she began to pray internally.
"Gods or demons, please, I beg you, you must save me!"
At that moment, the card in Miko's hand seemed to sense something.
Buzz!
The magic circle on the card emitted a dazzling white light.
Miko was enveloped in a pillar of light, and the evil spirits were kept out.
The card in her hand also broke free from her grasp and fell to the ground.
The pattern on the card suddenly grew larger.
A giant magic circle appeared beneath her feet.
Miko was too stunned by the scene before her to speak.
Could this card really summon a demon?
The next moment, a figure entered her vision.
Miko stared in disbelief at Abel, with his white hair and red eyes, floating in the air before her.
Immediately after, a pair of bat wings unfurled from behind Abel.
A gentle breeze ruffled Abel's white hair.
Are there really demons in this world?
Miko stared blankly at Abel, completely ignoring the evil spirits pounding on the pillar of light around her.
Abel, looking at the girl before him, was also momentarily stunned, not expecting it to be this strong female lead.
Then he looked around.
Goodness, so many evil spirits, it's truly impressive you haven't wet yourself.
Seeing Miko still in a daze, Abel waved his hand in front of her eyes and said, "Snap out of it, snap out of it."
Miko also came to her senses, then stammered, "Are you... a demon?"
"Uh-huh~ Of course."
Abel crossed his arms, a smile on his face, and subtly moved his wings.
Miko's worldview was currently undergoing a drastic reconstruction.
Ever since she could see evil spirits, she had now summoned a Mr. Demon.
Oh my, what has this world come to?
Swish~
Abel retracted his wings.
Then, with his arms crossed, he spoke from above.
"Greetings, Summoner, Mr. Demon Abel has answered your call."
Hearing Abel's words, Miko slowly calmed down.
Although she didn't know what this world had become, it wasn't important now.
She cautiously said to Abel, "Mr. Demon... could you please help me deal with these evil spirits?"
"Of course, Summoner."
Abel nodded, looking at the evil spirits blocked outside.
At this moment, more and more evil spirits were gathering, and those from the surrounding area were also attracted.
Abel waved his hand lightly, and the light screen dissipated.
"You can all see!"
"Hahaha, kill you all, devour you all!"
Watching the evil spirits charge directly at him, Abel snapped his fingers.
Clap~
A crisp sound rang out.
Control magic, activate.
The evil spirits froze motionless in mid-air.
"Although they are low-level and vile souls, there are many of them," Abel said calmly, stroking his chin as he looked at the paused evil spirits.
"Then... I'll take them."
Saying that, Abel extended his hand, palm upwards.
Spirit Gathering Magic, open!
A gentle breeze began to swirl around Abel, and all the evil spirits transformed into soul energy, forming a tornado. Then Abel closed his hand.
The black tornado converged in Abel's hand, forming a black orb.
The matter was resolved so quickly that Miko hadn't even reacted.
Because she found it incredible; just a snap of the fingers, then a clench, and so many evil spirits were... just like that, resolved?
Am I still dreaming?
Abel held the black orb in his palm, toying with it, and turned to look at Miko, who was in an internal storm.
Next, it was time to collect his reward.
Then Abel raised an eyebrow at Miko and said, "Alright, the evil spirits are dealt with, Summoner. Let's talk about your reward."
"Huh?"
"What reward?"
Miko looked a little bewildered.
"Of course, it's the reward for summoning me~ Does Miss Miko intend to get a free ride?" Abel said with a smile.
Miko was a bit flustered. She had never thought about a reward. She stammered, "I... I have nothing to give you."
"No, no, no, there is something, you know~"
"Wh-what?"
Abel scrutinized the girl before him. A girl with spiritual sight, reincarnated as a demon, should be quite good, right?
Abel took out an ordinary Devil Pieces—Pawn and played with it in his hand, saying, "Of course, it's you."
"Huh? Me?"
Miko pointed to herself, looking utterly confused.
Immediately after, Miko quickly reacted.
This, this, this... Could it be that this Mr. Demon has taken a fancy to my tender flesh and wants to eat me?
It's over~
Out of the tiger's den, into the wolf's mouth.
Miko's face turned pale with fright, her legs went weak, and she almost collapsed to the ground again.
She widened her eyes in terror, shaking her hands repeatedly: "No... don't eat me, I don't taste good!"
Abel looked at her expression and couldn't help but let out a chuckle: "Who wants to eat you? I mean for you to become my familiar, to become a demon."
Miko froze for a moment, suspecting she had misheard: "Become... a demon?"
"That's right, become a demon and gain extraordinary power. That way, you won't have to fear these evil spirits, and once you're a demon, mere evil spirits can be extinguished with a flick of your hand."
"Besides, student, you don't want to live in fear of evil spirits forever, do you?"
Abel sat in the air, legs crossed, playing with the orb and smiling.
Miko was momentarily stunned; it seemed she had been cornered.
Is it better to be a human, constantly threatened by evil spirits and in mortal danger, or to be a demon, free from fear and able to fight evil spirits?
This... it seems there's no choice.
After making her choice, Miko also found herself unusually calm.
She had no resistance towards the Mr. Demon.
Since there's an extraordinary path, why not choose it?
She imagined it for a moment.
Waking up every day to a ghost face screaming in her face.
Especially when going to the bathroom and showering...
Miko began her self-psychological construction.
Abel also watched quietly, not speaking, waiting for Miko's decision.
After a while, Miko's gaze became firm.
She, Miko, was no longer going to be human!
She wanted to become a Mr. Demon!
"Have you made up your mind?"
"Yes, I have."
Facing Abel's inquiry, Miko also nodded.
Abel looked at Miko and said, "Then speak your answer."
"Humans have limitations, so Mr. Demon, please transform me into a Mr. Demon. I, Miko, will no longer be human!"
