"I see, then there is no need for you to exist anymore," Akira's cold voice sounded as he turned into his Rimuru form.
Hearing his words, Lilith's expression changed drastically. This is unscientific. Why did this boy suddenly change his attitude this quickly? Didn't this boy need her help? If not, why did he go through the trouble of keeping her alive?
"Hey, hey, let's not be hasty. We can always discuss things. " Lilith broke out into a cold sweat as she tried her best to speak in the best flattering tone she could muster. She was very scared now. She noticed how Akira's eyes are now filled with murderous intent. And this murderous intent made her realize how scary this kid is.
"No need. I just asked you for formality, " Akira said as he placed his hand on Lilith's face and grabbed her hard.
"No, wait, stop, I will do it. Whatever you want, I will do it. Please let me go. I will forever be your loyal slave. Please stop. Don't hurt me. I will give you anything. " Lilith began to shout as she desperately tried to escape her bindings. Her pride as a demon made by Zeref was completely lost.
Just when Akira's hand touched Lilith's face, she felt that dangerous feeling. The feeling of true death. As a demon made by Zeref, she had excellent survival instincts. And now these instincts were screaming at her to run, or she would truly die. So to save her life, Lilith tried to persuade Akira with many promises.
But unfortunately, Akira turned a deaf ear to her words and said coldly, " Be honored, demon; you are the first person I used this skill [Gluttony] on."
With Akira's words, a darkness that seemed to devour everything seemed to come out of his hands. This darkness began to cover Lilith's whole body.
"Noooo, please, Lord Zeref, help me. " Under Lilith's desperate screams, she was devoured by Akira's skill. This process took less than a minute as Akira used his master's privilege to lock all of Lilith's powers so she couldn't fight back.
And just like that, a demoness that is no less powerful than the demons in Tartaros lost her life to one of the most overpowered skills in the universe.
After devouring, Lilith Akira closed his eyes to digest all the memories and powers he got from Lilith. At first, Akira was actually intending to force Lilith into curing Cornelia, but on the way, he began to doubt the feasibility of this plan.
He knew trusting a demon was a foolish decision. All the webnovels he had proved this saying. So Akira decided to think of an alternative method just in case. Although they could use Lilith's blood to solve Cornelia's curse, that method itself is still risky.
Who knew whether Lilith would leave a backdoor on her curse seals and harm Cornelia or, better yet, try to take over her body?
With such a dangerous possibility, Akira didn't dare to gamble. Even if he could read a person's thoughts, he could not guarantee that it would be enough. After all, we are talking about a demoness who is more cunning than any human. Who knew whether she had made magic to create something like parallel thinking?
And the slave contract they have means nothing, as Lilith could ignore the soul damage and jump into another body. So, after careful consideration, Akira decided that keeping Lilith alive is too dangerous.
And after hearing the thoughts in her mind, Akira knew that his decision was correct. So here comes the question: how should they cure Cornelia if Lilith is dead? It was then that Akira remembered one of his super-overpowered skills he had not used till now.
After some consultation with Great Sage Akira, finally decided to use his newly evolved [Gluttony] skill on Lilith.
With this, Akira could safely take over all of Lilith's knowledge and abilities and replace her with himself. This way, they don't have to be wary of a certain demon causing trouble for Aunt Cornelia.
After a while, Akira fully digested all of Lilith's memories and opened his eyes. When he finally finished, he couldn't help but sigh.
Just now, Great Sage made him go through all of Lilith's memories. So, although it only took about 5 minutes from the outside world for Akira, he had just spent more than 400 years in Lilith's memories.
And the mental fatigue is no joke. Coupled with the fact that he was already tired after running all night, Akira really wanted to take a nap now.
"No, I need to solve Aunt Cornelia's problem first. " Akira slapped himself on the cheeks to wake himself up. He should first cure Aunt Cornelia and then get a good night's sleep.
With this thought in mind, Akira left the room that he had secretly built inside the library.
….
Porlyusica was sorting out all the necessary materials needed for Cornelia's treatment when she saw Akira walking towards her.
She stopped what she was doing and frowned as she looked at him. "Kid, what did you do to that demon? " she asked as she stared directly at him.
"Huh, Grandma Porlyusica, what makes you so sure that I did something to her? " Akira asked in surprise.
"Kid, I'm the one who is asking questions. Tell me, what did you do? " Porlyusica asked again. This time, she was looking at him dangerously as her hand went towards the broom.
Seeing the incoming danger, Akira didn't hesitate and told Porlyusica everything from beginning to end. He could fool Makarov and make fun of Gildarts, but he didn't dare to provoke Porlyusica.
After all, who knew she would take her revenge on him? She might even give him some medicine to make him turn into a frog or something. And like they say, never piss off the doctor if you want to get yourself treated.
After hearing Akira's explanation, Porlyusica was deep in thought. After a while, she put down the broom and said, " What you did is probably the best option. During the ritual, it would indeed be impossible for me to notice anything strange if the demoness wanted to cause trouble.
But, kid, I would recommend you don't use that devour skill often. Although you may not have noticed, absorbing someone else had already made some changes inside of you."
" Huh, " hearing this, Akira was stunned. He did consider this possibility, but after absorbing all the knowledge, he didn't find anything unusual, so he thought nothing had changed.
"What changed inside of me, Grandma Porlyusica? " he asked.
"Your aura—just now, I felt a faint evil aura coming from you. " Porlyusica said as she began to sort out the materials again.
"My aura, huh? " Akira mumbled. So this is why he didn't notice anything. One's aura represents their personality.
For example, in the story, Makarov's aura had a warm and sunny kind of feeling, showing his kindness to everyone. But Jose Porla, the guild master of Phantom Lord, had a dark and sinister aura about him, which showed his bad personality.
Although one's magic makes a certain change in one's aura, the change is very minimal, as aura truly represents one's personality. For example, before joining Fairy Tail, Juvia had a lonely aura around her, but after meeting Gray and joining Fairy Tail, her aura began to change into one that would call for absolute love for Gray.
"Here, take this. These medicines would help you calm your mind and protect your mind from integrating your personality with that demon. " Porlyusica said as she handed Akira some medicinal herbs.
"Okay, thank you, Grandma Porlyusica, " Akira thanked Porlyusica as he stored the medicine away in storage space.
"Good, now help me set up this formation. I'm already sick from staying with all those idiots in the guild. I hate humans, " Porlyusica said as she began to mumble about her stupid human hatred.
"Yes, whatever Grandma Porlyusica says." Akira rolled his eyes inwardly and began to assist Porlyusica with setting up the formation for Cornelia's treatment.
Finally, the treatment is about to get started.
