Chapter 39: The Second Collar

[Name: Katerea Leviathan (Female)]

[Level: Lv201+48 (Low-tier Maou. After using Ophis's Snake, her level reaches the peak of Maou-level at Lv249)]

[Attribute Evaluation]

[Note: Strength within the same level.]

[Strength: E]

[Speed: D]

[Magic Power: C]

[Physical Durability: E+]

[Martial Arts/Spell Proficiency: C (Ancestral spells of the original Leviathan Maou. Though not perfectly suited for every descendant, they are still remarkably effective for Leviathan heirs.)]

[Sacred Gear/Bloodline Ability: B- (Pure-blooded Leviathan descendant. However, she has yet to awaken the magical trait "Tail of the Sea Serpent Dragon.")]

[Comprehensive Evaluation: D+ level Maou.]

[Overall Assessment: A mediocre Maou who relied on her Maou bloodline to reach Maou-level. To achieve this, she even used rare resources that drained her potential. Without a special opportunity, it will be difficult for her to break through to Mid-tier Maou in her lifetime.]

...

After casually casting an appraisal spell on Katerea and confirming she hadn't surpassed Maou-level, Lucien turned to the Underworld princess beside him.

"Seekvaira, let's take her down together!"

"Alright! Let's do it, Lucien!" Seekvaira smiled faintly, spreading the wings of light behind her.

[Vanishing Dragon Balance Breaker!]

[Balance Breaker—『Divine Dividing Scale Mail』!]

White and blue light flickered continuously as Seekvaira instantly equipped the armor of the White Dragon Emperor!

The white armor, adorned with blue jewels, wrapped around Seekvaira's slender yet curvaceous figure, exuding a unique allure.

"Such immense magical power! It's almost on par with Vali!"

Katerea was shocked. How could there be two White Dragon Emperors?!

Vali was a half-human, half-devil hybrid, but Seekvaira was a pure-blooded devil!

"Tch!"

"So what if you team up? I'm a Leviathan descendant, a bearer of the pure Leviathan bloodline!"

Katerea snorted coldly and raised her staff.

[Serpent That Devours the World!]

Barren land began to flood as water surged and gathered, covering the entire ground in an instant!

Dozens of water serpents erupted from the ocean, charging toward Lucien and Seekvaira simultaneously!

[Divide! Divide! Divide! Divide! Divide!!!~~]

Seekvaira spread her wings of light, hovering in the air. All the water serpents that approached her shrank dozens of times in size!

By the time they reached her, the serpents were no larger than caterpillars.

The tiny water streams couldn't even scratch the armor of the White Dragon Emperor, merely splashing harmlessly against it as if giving Seekvaira's armor a quick rinse.

The true White Dragon Emperor, Vali, might only be at the lower end of Maou-level in terms of raw power.

Though Seekvaira's base strength was slightly inferior to Vali's, it wasn't by much!

Right now, Seekvaira could be considered a mini-Vali!

...

The battle escalated into a fierce clash from the very beginning.

Seekvaira took on the role of the vanguard, while Lucien provided support.

Relying on the formidable defense and halving ability of the White Dragon Emperor's armor, Seekvaira charged recklessly through Katerea's forbidden-level spells.

With her overwhelming offense, Seekvaira left Katerea with no room to counterattack or target Lucien.

As a result, Lucien leisurely watched the Underworld princess fight on his behalf while he began charging his own attack.

[Boost! Boost! Boost! Boost! Boost!!!!~~]

[Extreme Flame!]

A "Sacred Flame" amplified to its limit was hurled by Lucien, evaporating a large number of water serpents in its path.

"Hmph! Even at full charge, it's barely Maou-level!"

Katerea snorted coldly and raised her staff.

Her current strength was at the peak of Maou-level, almost reaching Super Devil-tier. Why would she fear such a small fireball?!

What a joke!

Katerea barely managed to fend off Seekvaira's attacks with one hand while charging her spell with the other.

A magic circle rapidly formed, filling with magical energy.

Just as the spell was about to be unleashed!

Lucien silently revoked Katerea's access to Ophis's "Snake."

...

Like a deflated balloon, Katerea's power rapidly dwindled!

"What!? My power...!"

Katerea panicked instantly.

What was happening?

Why had Ophis's Snake stopped working!?

Katerea's magical power weakened drastically, dropping to less than a tenth of its previous level!

Seizing the opportunity, Lucien's Sacred Flame and Seekvaira's attack struck Katerea simultaneously!

Seekvaira passed through Katerea's body, leaving a long gash across her waist.

As soon as Seekvaira passed through, the Sacred Flame followed.

"Boom!~"

The Sacred Flame engulfed Katerea entirely, relentlessly eroding her body and soul.

Lucien's Sacred Flame originated from Agumon.

According to the system's description, Agumon's sacred power was among the most potent in this world, even surpassing that of the Four Great Seraphs!

Such high-level sacred power inflicted unprecedented pain on Katerea, a devil!

"Aaaaaahhh!!~~"

Katerea let out the most agonized scream of her life, the force of it even dispersing the clouds in the sky!

...

Watching Katerea's miserable state, Lucien couldn't help but raise an eyebrow.

It seemed he had underestimated Agumon's sacred power.

After evolving, Agumon's sacred power had grown even stronger.

...

A few seconds later, Katerea's charred body fell from the sky.

Just before she hit the ground.

"Whoosh~"

Lucien arrived in time to catch her.

Looking at Katerea in his arms, Lucien felt a surge of excitement.

Finally.

He was about to gain a Maou-level servant!

"Click~"

A soft sound.

Lucien fastened a pet collar around Katerea's neck, her resistance completely gone.

The pet collar appeared for a moment before vanishing under Lucien's control.

...

"Done!~"

Lucien gave Seekvaira a thumbs-up.

He didn't immediately reincarnate Katerea as his servant.

After all, she was already wearing the pet collar. Lucien could reincarnate her whenever he wanted!

"Mhm! Lucien! We won!"

Seekvaira excitedly threw herself into Lucien's arms, pressing her lips to his in a passionate kiss.

Just as the two began to get intimate, a sudden change occurred.

"Hum~"

A teleportation circle slowly unfolded in the air.

A mature and alluring silver-haired beauty stepped out of the circle, calmly observing the entangled Lucien and Seekvaira.

The newcomer... was none other than Grayfia!
