There is absolutely nothing wrong with my magic cards!

Will he make the same decision as he thinks now?

Durkan seemed to feel that what he was thinking now was a ridiculous thing.

In this state, if she wants to save Eve, who has a broken mind, there is only one demon ritual that can make her believe in herself again and no longer be afraid of herself.

That is to make her the true successor of knowledge, strength, and status that she recognizes.

Only such a personally selected successor will not be harmed by the cruel demons.

But the problem is that while Durkan appreciates Eve's talent, Durkan has to treat it with caution.

Durkan has been convinced of her terrible learning ability in a day's time with her.

As long as she can meet a mentor with excellent compatibility, she will transform into a powerful demon at an unimaginable abnormal speed.

It may even surpass Master one day and become a real disaster.

At first, Durkan just wanted to give her some pointers as an experiment, but now he has to seriously consider the risks and consequences of this decision.

Phew, forget it.

Durkan finally seemed to have made a decision, looked at Eve and asked:

"Do you remember the content of our contract?"

"Well...as long as I assist you, you will take me to earn enough money, protect me from the Devil's Hospital, and take me to a safe place..."

Eve tried hard to control her breath and replied.

She regrets it so much now.

This seemingly safe contract, if the signatory has the words Delois, then if you think about it carefully, you actually have [-] possible endings that are worse than death.

Even she couldn't imagine how Delois planned to torture and play with her.

"Then will you obey my words and keep the promise you made to me?"

Durkan asked again.

This question obviously stunned Eve.

She didn't understand the meaning of the other party's question.

She just tried to raise the breath in her chest to her throat, and replied:

"meeting……"

"Do you have a family lineage, name, property, or mission that must be passed on?"

"No, none..."

When Eve finished answering this sentence, her eyes gradually recovered a gleam of surprise.

Because she gradually remembered the meaning represented by this series of questions.

And she saw that Durkan stretched out his left hand with his palm down, and his fingers stretched obliquely forward.

Eve looked at Durkan in disbelief, but she didn't dare to move.

She is very clear that this kind of ceremony is only used by the great demon clan without heirs when choosing a successor.

But a big demon like Delois has no heirs, or... has he decided not to marry for the rest of his life?

Eve was still not sure if she had misunderstood.

She could never imagine why Delois would choose her as his successor? !

Until she clearly heard the other party speak:

"Since this is the case, I declare as a master that I will remove all your connections with the Demon Realm at this moment, and you will become my successor to Delois."

This is a solemn ceremony. I swear by my own existence. Once selected, even the most despicable demon will not harm my successor again.

It is impossible for a weak demon like her to be favored by any big demons.

However, now, there is a legendary demon who is comparable to or even superior to the demon king and has chosen her.

But accordingly.

The problem is that it was Delois who chose her.

Accepting it is tantamount to becoming a great rebel in the demon world, making an enemy of the entire demon world, and may have no place in the world.

Refusal, no one can imagine the consequences of refusing the ceremony of choosing the successor of Delois.

This made Eve extremely complicated.

However, Durkan did not give her time to struggle, and finished the last statement clearly and smoothly:

"In the name of Tike, the god of reincarnation and destiny, here, Delois, the rebel from the demon world, asks Eve if you are willing to make an oath."

Durkan's words made Eve a little dazed.

Although she knew that Delois, a freak, would not believe in a demon god, she also thought that Delois should believe in gods from other evil camps.

It hadn't occurred to him that he would swear in the name of the ancient, possibly even imaginary, Goddess that the Church of the Sacred Worship believes in.

"..."

Eve bit her lips tightly. In her despair, a glimmer of hope darker than darkness seemed to appear in front of her eyes.

No one knows where this glimmer of hope will lead her to.

finally.

Regardless of her embarrassing appearance and the discomfort caused by the pantyhose, Eve tried her best to correct her posture and came to Durkan, knelt on her left knee, lowered her head quietly, and waited for Durkan to put his palm on her on the head.

After feeling Durkan's palm touch her slightly messy hair.

"I... would like to swear."

Eve said so.

Subsequently.

At some point, a long sword appeared in Durkan's hand, and he laid the blade flat on the left shoulder of Eve, who was kneeling in front of him.

The seemingly sharp blade did not scratch her clothes or skin at all.

But on the hilt of this strange saber, there is a head of a demon roaring mournfully, as if tears of blood are flowing from its eyes.

Just by waving it lightly, Eve heard continuous howls and roars of demons that stimulated her eardrums.

The terrifying aura and suffocation emanating from the Sword of Despair once again made Eve's eyes red and tears overflowing, her body began to stagger, and it was difficult to even kneel down.

She seemed to be trying to raise her hands to her ears.

"I command you to bear all fear."

Durkan said coldly.

Eve bit her lips tightly, and finally, as if she had made up her mind to say goodbye to her past self, she held her hands tightly, stopped trying to lift up, and gradually stabilized her body.

"My successor, tell me, what do you want from me?"

"I don't want to become as powerful as you, I just want to gain the power to protect myself, no need to be attached to anyone, no need to be coerced."

Eve's answer surprised Durkan a little.

He had thought that Eve would give some more docile answers, but he didn't expect that she would dare to tell Delois the truth.

The "attachment" and "coercion" she experienced probably came from herself.

Well, though, she chose sincerity, which Durkan favors.

see.

Durkan raised his sword and tapped Eve's left shoulder five times, and every time there was a terrifying howl in her ears, it made her tremble.

Durkan withdrew his sword after seven more taps on his right shoulder.

With the last push, Eve was able to remain unwavering.

Durkan put his left hand on Eve's head again before letting her get up.

"Eve, I warn you as the teacher of the oath."

"All ears."

Eve lowered her head, seriously accepting this warning that might change her fate.

"From now on, please never bully the weak, never harm the innocent, but more important than the first two sentences, its true meaning is, don't do things that you regret."

Because... I will teach you the human heart, so I don't worry that you will become a demon that endangers the world, and I also believe that teaching you is not a bad thing.

Durkan no longer spoke, but silently recited the last sentence in his heart without saying it.

"I see, Mr. Delois."

Eve replied seriously.

When Durkan let go of the hand holding Eve's head, he changed his stern expression and returned to his usual calm and easy-going look.

"Okay, you go back to the dormitory and prepare your luggage. I'm going to take you out of the Devil's Hospital later, and go to a wonderful place."

"Is there anyone who needs my help?"

"I'll give you an hour of free time to move around, and wait for me at the gate of the Demon Realm Hospital. I won't wait when it's too late."

Durkan looked at the water stains under Eve's feet with disgust, which made Eve's cheeks turn red.

Realizing what she needed to do most now, she hurriedly saluted Durkan, and then ran away blushing.

The originally solemn ceremony was actually carried out in a very social situation.

It's just that Eve has been scared and overlooked some important points.

"call."

Durkan let out a breath.

Delois earnestly taught Eve's influence on the Demon Realm and the Holy Kingdom, which even Durkan could not predict.

Although he knew that this was just Shadow World, he felt that what he just did was also the decision made by Delois at that time.

Not surprisingly, under the guidance of Delois, Eve will become a legendary demon far above the Great Demon Race.

Then, according to a sense of corresponding fate in the dark, will Eve in this world really still be a weak and pitiful character?
