You came out, and now you want to leave?
Linde looked at her, a smile playing on his lips.
The Star Spirit was trembling, her guilt occasionally twitching.
What was the deal with this man?
The pressure created by just his gaze was so terrifying.
She felt as if she was about to collapse under his invisible oppression.
"Master, she seems to be in a lot of pain."
Anna tugged at Linde's sleeve.
The next moment.
All the pressure instantly vanished.
"Hmph!"
The Star Spirit staggered, almost falling into the lake.
"Now, are you still leaving?"
Linde took a few steps forward, standing at the edge of the lake.
"..."
The Star Spirit was silent for a moment, waved her hand to close the passage behind her, and then, very tactfully, said, "I'm sorry, I was impolite just now."
She was truly scared.
This man in front of her was simply unimaginably powerful.
Throughout countless long years.
This was the first time she had encountered such a terrifying person.
Whether it was those heroes or the successive Demon Lords.
She was certain that none of them could make her feel such suffocating fear with just a gaze.
This man who called himself a demon, his strength was absolutely unfathomable.
On the other side, Freya pouted.
So she became obedient just like that?
She had been looking forward to it for nothing.
She found that watching others bleed was also a good hobby.
"Never mind, I've always been magnanimous."
Linde waved his hand and said, "Now let's talk about the important matters."
"Alright, Lord Demon."
The Star Spirit nodded obediently and said, "According to the ancient covenant, I can bestow upon you the power of the elven race."
"Fists that can crush everything, legs that can soar like the wind, ears that can hear sounds from a thousand miles away, and eyes that can see through everything."
"Mr. Demon, which one do you desire?"
She looked at Linde with anticipation.
Currently, she was just a worker hoping to get off work.
Finish quickly, and she could leave this terrifying man.
"I don't need any of them."
"???"
The Star Spirit blinked, then weakly asked, "Then why did you summon me?"
Linde glanced at her and smiled, "It's simple. I want you to become my person."
"Ah?"
The Star Spirit immediately blushed, "No, you perverted demon!"
"Master, she refused."
Freya excitedly said, "In that case, we should just act."
Act? Act against me?
Threat.
This was a blatant threat.
She glanced at the expressionless Linde, then at the menacing Freya, and finally sighed.
If she tried to escape...
There was absolutely no chance.
The Star Spirit forced a smile uglier than a cry and performed an ancient courtesy.
"Lord Demon, it is my honor to become your person."
Freya gave Linde a look, "Master, I did well, didn't I?"
"Yes, I'll reward you later."
Linde smiled slightly, his figure already floating as he moved to stand before the Star Spirit.
He extended a finger, and golden blood slowly seeped out.
Watching this, the Star Spirit blinked, confused, "Lord Demon, what are you doing?"
"Performing the Reincarnation Ritual."
Linde explained, "To reincarnate you as a demon and make you my Retainer."
The Star Spirit was stunned.
Had she misunderstood?
But to abandon her Elf identity and become a demon?
She thought about it, a bitter smile appearing at the corner of her lips.
It seemed...
She still had no choice.
After realizing this, the Star Spirit was surprised to find that she hadn't felt much sadness recently.
After all!
If fate couldn't be resisted, then one could only enjoy it.
Moreover...
She had actually become interested in the demon race.
What kind of race could produce a powerhouse like Linde?
"Alright, please begin."
The Star Spirit took a deep breath, then asked, "Does the Reincarnation Ritual require any cooperation from me?"
Linde glanced at her clothes, then shook his head, "Just leave everything to me."
"Then I'll leave everything to Lord Demon."
"Wait a moment."
The Star Spirit's eyes suddenly widened, "Why are you pulling at my clothes?"
She looked at Linde with indignation, "I knew it, you have ulterior motives for me."
Linde expressionlessly dripped blood onto her skin, "Don't overthink it, it's just that those few pieces of cloth are a bit in the way."
"Furthermore, after becoming my demon Retainer, it means you completely belong to me and must serve me for life."
Ser… serve?
The Star Spirit's face instantly flushed, her pupils trembling violently.
In that case, wasn't it no different from the beginning?
No, she also became a demon?
Wasn't that an even greater loss?
But when the imprint appeared, she could no longer let her mind wander.
"Ugh…"
Her body… was changing.
The essence of her life was transforming.
And… it was so itchy… The next moment.
The light green wings disappeared, replaced by a pair of slender black wings.
A tail with a heart-shaped tip also swayed out.
"I… I'm not an Elf anymore?"
Turning to look at her wings and tail, the Star Spirit's eyes were complex, and she instinctively pinched them.
"Hiss…"
She gasped, two blushes already appearing on her cheeks.
It was just a tail.
Was this race called demons really proper?
Ignoring the Star Spirit's wild thoughts, Linde's attention was focused on her attribute information.
[Star Spirit]
[Race: Demon]
[Master: Linde Lucifuge]
[Level: LV40]
[skill: Star Spirit Form]
[Star Spirit Form: Can transform into Star Spirit Form, you will possess hands that can easily crush mountains, legs that can soar through the sky, ears that can hear sounds from a thousand miles away, and emerald eyes that can see through reality.]
Seeing the Star Spirit's attributes,
Linde's expression was a bit subtle.
This skill, it felt like a collection of countless skills.
And… was this woman just called Star Spirit?
Without hesitation, Linde directly raised his question.
"That's right, that's my true name."
The Star Spirit proudly said, "In our Elf race, the Star Spirit is a unique and noble existence."
"Only after I die will a new Star Spirit be born, so my name is unique."
"I see."
Linde nodded slightly and asked again, "Have you ever bestowed Elf power upon others?"
"No."
The Star Spirit was a bit deflated, "I just became a Star Spirit not long ago, and then I met Master."
As soon as she finished speaking, a piece of paper appeared before her.
"This is?"
"Your attribute information, similar to the profession panel in your world, but also a bit different."
Linde casually explained.
"Oh?"
The Star Spirit's eyes lit up, and she quickly began to browse.
"Star Spirit Form?"
When she saw the skill description, she couldn't suppress the smile on her lips.
Didn't this mean...
While becoming a demon, she could still maintain her Star Spirit Form.
Looking at it this way...
She had no losses at all, except for gaining a Master.
Being both a demon and an Elf sounded quite exciting.
Most importantly, she wouldn't have to stay in the Elven Kingdom anymore; she could go out and wander...
