「Li, like I said I only did those things because you forced me to………!」
Kirika’s face blushed and she glared at me, however she quickly returned to her composed expression.
Her black beautiful eyes, looked directly at me.
It was a gaze filled with precaution and a slight fear/awe.
「………….Today you managed to obtain an extraordinary war potential, didn’t you? 」
After all Tooru was able to make a demoness of the 4th rank completely submit to his will. No matter who that person was, being able to control such a powerful being was most definitely a considerable amount of power.
It was all due to this job class whom was revered as a legendary class: the Slavemancer.
「no……..Well as expected though, it’s not like I am able to unlock the full potential of her power. There is also a disadvantage to the Devil’s Pledge, the amount of power I can confer to Palmyra to use is limited/restricted by the amount of skill level I currently possess」
I gazed at the back of my hand which had the Devil’s Symbol lightly glittering in the moonlight, as I recite the knowledge I obtained from the ability.
「So what you are saying is that after she became your slave Palmyra will be unable to display the terrifying strength she used to fight us, and in fact she has become really weak now?」
「yeah, well at least for now that is. If I am able to raise the level of my skill, it will be a different story………Right now Palmyra’s potential is approximately closer to the bottom of a 5th rank demon.
「Even still, in comparison to humans, she would be comparable to a commander class ranked demon………..She’s probably equal or even ahead of me in terms of strength」
Kirika was silent with a gloomy expression on her face.
“You obtained this kind of power, what are you going to do with it from now on” she had that kind of worried expression.
I ignored this behaviour of hers and instead I asked her a question.
「There’s something I’ve been meaning to ask you. How were you able to know that I was the legendary existence known as the Slavemancer, It’s one thing for the demon race and Palmyra to know about me but, how did you chance upon such information?」
When we first met each other in this new world, the first person to declare that I was a Slavemancer was Kirika.
I mean whilst it was true that there was plenty of disappearances of adventuring women, however normally people wouldn’t be able to connect the dots just from that.
「………..Telling you this secret is totally meaningless to you. The person who told me of such a possibility was, Princess Sistina」
Kirika’s previous lord? Why would the 3rd Princess Sistina Ranbadeia, know of such an obscure piece of information?
「Because the Kingdom of Ranbadeia was founded originally by a queen, the bloodline of her special skill was passed down through the princess as a skill. It’s the special ability to see prophecies…………..Although it’s very vague/ambiguous, Princess Sistina is able to see into the future when she dreams. Princess Sistina-sama is the only one within a few generations who was able to inherit such a special skill」
「Hehh, That’s truly fascinating. It makes me want her even more」
