[197] Bishop – Yolda!
[197] Bishop – Yolda!
Watching the cautious Yolda standing in front of him, August carefully assessed her from top to bottom.
As sisters, she and Hilda shared many similarities, but their personalities and styles were completely different, as reflected in anime.
Hilda, as a maid, would offer everything to her master, but if something was wrong, she would point it out, even if it displeased someone. That was Hilda.
Yolda, on the other hand, was a pure maid, everything the master said was right, and the master was everything.
In an anime, she served the Great Demon Lord's son, Enoh, and Hilda once said to her, "Prince En has become like this, all because of your indulgence."
However, Yolda was a special transdimensional demon with powerful spatial talents. She could even distort the space in an area or transport it to another dimension. With stronger abilities, she could be a formidable force.
"Yolda~"
"Here!"
Hearing August calling her, Yolda nervously responded.
"As a maid, you should understand that by becoming my maid, your family, relatives, and everything related to you will be strangers. Everything about you will belong to me completely."
"Yolda understands. Your will is everything to Yolda."
"Very well. From now on, you are my demon maid."
"Yes, My lord."
Yolda suddenly smiled joyfully. For any maid, finding a master to serve for a lifetime was the meaning of their existence. From childhood, they were taught this way.
August looked at Yolda, considering his own thoughts.
Although August didn't have much fondness for her father who sent both daughters here as maids, he had acquired two demon maids. Giving him some benefits would not hurt as long as it wasn't excessive and allowed him to gain some advantages using his name.
"Yolda, come here."
"Yes, My lord."
Yolda approached August cautiously, her heart pounding. Hilda's words just now were still fresh in her memory.
Would the lord want to devour her right here?
Should she obey, obey, or obey?
While thinking about it, her face turned redder. August found it amusing, when women looked good, men hardly mattered.
August took out his special evil piece, representing the bishop.
Yolda had the talent of space manipulation. If developed well, it could be a powerful force. Even though she was August's maid, he wouldn't allow her to be weak.
Swoosh~
The evil piece entered her body. Yolda's eyes widened in shock.
The seed of darkness was planted within Yolda, then it began to sprout and take root. Her demonic power skyrocketed rapidly.
Originally just an middle-class devil, Yolda leaped to become a high-class demon.
Next, the demon patterns appeared on her forehead, her strength increased again, soaring to the Ultimate-class demon.
August looked at Yolda with a slightly raised eyebrow. Her talent started off well, and with the integration of the evil piece, she broke through her limits.
From being just an middle-class devil, she leaped to become a high-class demon, even further to the ultimate-class demon.
Hilda beside her burst into laughter. She knew that Yolda had been stuck as an middle-class devil for many years, and now she finally broke through.
Yolda, in joy, smiled. For a demon maid, finding a master to serve for a lifetime was the meaning of their existence. They were taught this from childhood.
"Sincere thanks for your trust, my lord. From this moment, Yolda's soul and life will exist for you."
This was Yolda's vow, a unilateral declaration of the contract. In this life, she couldn't betray August. Once she did, the backlash of the contract would drag her into the abyss.
"Alright, from now on, Yolda, you are my bishop."
"Yes, My lord."
Yolda stood up, feeling the powerful demonic energy of a high-class demon, and her face lit up with a smile.
"Yolda, feel it. Apart from the power of darkness from Demon clan, do you have any other powers?"
"Other powers?"
Although Yolda didn't understand, she began to feel the changes within herself after her transformation.
Swoosh~
A dark purple aura rose, dyeing her arm pitch-black.
Seeing this, August chuckled. Indeed, through the evil piece, the inheritance wasn't just the power of darkness from demon clan, but also the seed of Haki.
As for why it wasn't other abilities, August speculated it might be because Haki was a power, not a skill. Skills were just different ways of using power, like the Great Spiralling Ring. Though the process was somewhat cumbersome, it showed up in this world now.
But Haki was different. It was a power that this world didn't have. No matter how hard one tried, it was impossible to obtain it.
"What a magical power."
Yolda looked at her arm covered in Armament Haki, surprised.
Comparable to steel defense and an ability to enhance attack power, it was truly a versatile ability.
"Hilda, Yolda, Haki has three types: Armament Haki for enhancing strength and defense, Observation Haki for perception, and Conqueror Haki representing the king's aptitude."
"Conqueror Haki?"
"Conqueror Haki? What a cool name."
"If I'm not mistaken, there should be seeds of Conqueror Haki inside both of you."
August looked at the two, although Conqueror Haki was called 'the king's aptitude,' it essentially meant a soul that was naturally powerful, with an overwhelming spiritual strength. Using Conqueror Haki, one could exert mental pressure to stun others.
As demons, with their long lifespan and naturally stronger souls compared to humans, Hilda and Yolda undoubtedly had the seeds of Conqueror Haki within them, but they had not awakened yet.
"My lord, we don't feel anything related to Conqueror Haki."
"Neither do I."
"Conqueror Haki is a soul and spirit-based ability. Forget it, you'll understand if you try."
Boom~!
As soon as August finished speaking, his Conqueror Haki erupted.
In an instant, in Hilda and Yolda's eyes, August transformed into an demon god, emitting a terrifying demonic aura.
The two of them seemed as small as insects, as if they could be crushed at any moment.
"Phew~ This is Lord August's Conqueror Haki? So powerful."
"So frightening. It feels like we could die at any moment."
"So this is Conqueror Haki."
August looked at them and said, but surprisingly, being oppressed by Conqueror Haki didn't stimulate them. Could it be that they didn't have the aptitude for Conqueror Haki?
Or perhaps he misunderstood Conqueror Haki?
