"It seems I truly underestimated you before."
Ddraig took a deep breath, looking at Linde and saying, "I acknowledge you."
"You have the qualifications to be the master of the divine dividing gauntlet (red dragon emperor's gauntlet)."
Hearing Ddraig's words, Linde's eyes remained cold.
Initially, he had intended to deal with this dragon soul.
After all, having a male dragon following him around was indeed a bit unsettling.
However, since there was no animosity at first, he had considered transferring the opponent's dragon soul if possible.
But now, it was even better.
Directly eliminating the opponent would be more time and effort-saving.
"It seems there's no room for discussion."
Ddraig, who had not received an answer, his expression had completely darkened.
"In that case, you can't blame me."
A terrifying and immense aura erupted from Ddraig's body.
"Roar!"
Accompanied by a dragon's roar, surging flames rose from Ddraig's body.
Like raging waves, they rolled in all directions.
For a moment, the temperature of the entire world began to skyrocket.
Ddraig seemed to transform into a volcano on the verge of eruption, emitting a temperature that made people shudder.
The power contained within the flames seemed to burn all visible and invisible matter in space, including air, light, and sunlight.
Everything was consumed by the flames.
At this moment, the entire world was completely transformed into a crimson hell, where all living beings would meet their demise in the flames.
"Although I don't know your origin, under my fervent flames, this should be the end for you."
As the sound waves echoed, the destructive flames converged towards Linde.
However!
Linde, facing all this, merely raised his hand lightly, and a dark, profound light bloomed within it.
This was not any skill, nor even magic.
It was merely the simplest release of magic power.
But in Linde's current state, it was still world-shaking.
Rumble!
Deafening roars instantly merged into one.
But only for a moment.
The overwhelming, seemingly endless flames that had just filled the sky had completely vanished.
"My fervent flames..."
This incredible scene left Ddraig completely stunned, unable to believe what he was seeing.
Whoosh!
At this moment, Linde's figure flickered, and he had already arrived above Ddraig's head, pressing down with one hand.
Buzz!
An incomparably brilliant Magic Circle enveloped all directions.
An aura capable of annihilating souls instantly completely engulfed Ddraig.
"..."
Ddraig's eyes widened, filled with terror, but he was utterly unable to offer any resistance.
His massive dragon body, like burnt ashes, eventually turned into nothingness.
Only the purest power remained, dissipating into this world.
The next moment.
The black magic power on Linde's body vanished without a trace.
The scenery shifted.
The familiar living room had already entered his sight.
"Hoo!"
Linde let out a long breath, feeling as if he had been pulled from water, his entire body soaked with sweat.
"Master, are you alright?" N.
Miyano Shiho and the others were startled and immediately gathered around him with concern.
"I'm fine, just too much exhaustion."
Linde waved his hand, only feeling a sense of weakness spreading from the depths of his soul.
Indeed.
He was still too weak.
Transforming into a Progenitor Demon, for such a short time, almost completely drained him.
This skill.
It could only be used as a trump card.
However.
Everything was worth it.
He looked at the divine dividing gauntlet (red dragon emperor's gauntlet) in his hand and pressed it to his chest.
Buzz!
Crimson light shone.
The divine dividing gauntlet (red dragon emperor's gauntlet) gradually disappeared, merging into Linde's body.
"It seems this Divine Artifact is now completely at my disposal."
Feeling the state of the divine dividing gauntlet (red dragon emperor's gauntlet), Linde nodded secretly.
Because there was no longer a dragon soul.
Even with his cheat, he directly gained the highest authority over the divine dividing gauntlet (red dragon emperor's gauntlet).
"Besides that, I seem to have gotten a lot stronger too?"
Linde's eyes flickered, and he brought up his attribute panel.
[experience**]
[Linde Lucifergus]
[Race: Progenitor Demon]
[Level: LV60]
[Authority: Progenitor Demon Transformation]
[Retainer/Subordinate: Grayfia, Miyano Shiho, Miyano Akemi, Esdeath]
[skill: Demon Contract, Demon Summoning, Infinite Magic Power, Heart of Magic, Magic Gunner, demon gun, Demon Mask, Absolute Zero, Corpse Manipulation, Slash, Magical Beast Familiar, Super Regeneration, King of All Beasts.]
..."I almost forgot, Ddraig also counts as a huge amount of experience points."
"And King of All Beasts can also benefit the body."
Linde's face showed a hint of realization.
In this way.
In his normal state, he was also Demon Lord Rank.
With the divine dividing gauntlet (red dragon emperor's gauntlet).
He finally had the qualifications to fight fairly with the high-end combat forces of this world.
"Master, why don't you rest at home today and not go to the Exorcism Agency?"
Miyano Shiho looked at Linde's gradually reddening complexion, feeling slightly relieved, but still suggested.
"It's fine, just stick to the original plan."
...Linde's Exorcism Agency.
Except for Asia guarding the house.
Under Miyano Shiho's lead, Linde brought his Retainer/Subordinates here.
The Exorcism Agency was a two-story building.
Pushing open the door.
The first floor was a typical office.
Several bookshelves, several desks, and a few computers on the tables.
And the second floor was a different world entirely.
Going up to the second floor.
The scene inside made Linde slightly stunned.
The entire second floor had only one room, decorated extremely luxuriously and with a strong personal taste.
The ceiling had soft purple lighting, creating a special atmosphere.
In the center of the room was an enormous waterbed.
On the other side, the wardrobe hung countless props and clothes.
Maid outfits, teacher outfits, student outfits... blindfolds, ropes, candles... everything needed and not needed could be said to be complete.
Looking through the transparent bathroom glass wall, one could see a huge jacuzzi.
Watching all this, Linde's lips began to curl into a slight smile.
Noticing Linde's mood, Vermouth spoke up as if taking credit: "Master, all the decorations here were my responsibility."
"Besides that, I also left a lot of space, where facilities can be added according to Master's ideas."
"You put thought into it."
Linde nodded, stepped onto the soft, handmade pure wool carpet, and sat on the waterbed.
He moved slightly, very satisfied with its performance.
He smiled: "Since you were so thoughtful, you naturally deserve a reward."
"Your level should be at a critical point, right? It's a good time to break through in one go."
Vermouth's heart pounded, and she subconsciously walked over: "Thank you for your grace, Master."
In her eyes, Linde's figure became incomparably tall, completely controlling her body and mind.
"By the way, today should be the opening day of our Exorcism Agency, right?"
Miyano Akemi spoke faintly: "There are still many things to do."
"Leave such matters to older sister, you're not in a hurry to get stronger anyway."
"Akemi-senpai, I'll leave everything to you. The three of us dare not act without Master's command."
Miyano Akemi: "..."
She stared blankly as her Master galloped like a War God, guiding his Retainer/Subordinates' cultivation.
For a moment, she felt incredibly lost.
Besides Shiho, she was the one who came first.
But what was happening now?
She seemed to have been excluded.
For a moment, her chest felt a little stuffy.
