  After a long expnation, Roxan back to rexing again. She pletely ighe now stupefied maid, who for several minutes was uo process all the information she had been given.

  Lua felt as though she had aged another tury after hearing her mistress's expnation. Just thinking about it gave her a huge headache. She sighed heavily, mentally exhausted—she had been sighing far too many times in the past few years. Sometimes, she wondered if her mistress was cursed by some fate deity, destio attract all the trouble in the world.

  Sighing o time, she looked at her mistress, who was leisurely eating some cookies she'd prepared while watg something on her phone. Lua thought, ‘Well, with her, it's never b.’ Like every long-lived species, she too wao experienything iing. That's why, despite Roxanne bringing chaos into her life, she was never bored. She had learned new ways to enhance her trol by Roxanne, who was a natural genius at creatieiques. That’s why Lua never pined about their chaotic lives—she knew her mistress shone brightest when she was free.

  “Hey, Luci-, let's start a band.”

  Lua looked at her mistress as though she'd grown a sed head.

  “Mistress, might I remind you that we are both wanted individuals, aher of us has the talent necessary to earn a det ine from this.”

  Despite saying that, she knew her mistress already had a pn to back up her goal.

  As expected, Roxanne's smile widened. “Luci-, while our singing talents are average, we both py any instrument with a little practice, thanks to our heightened senses. And as for our main singer—we already have one.”

  Roxanne’s grin widened even more, and she goward the hallway leading to her room with a predatlint in her eyes.

  Seeing this, Lua thought, ‘Whoever that girl is, I pray for her safety,’ while pg her hands together in a prayerful gesture.

  [Sacred Gear awakening at 87%...]

  After finishing her favorite cookies, Roxan back to her room to wake up the sleeping princess. First, she used magic to the room, as it had bee a bit of a mess due to the chaotic aura from her earlier assion. Then, she activated the runes in the room to cast an illusion to scare—er, vihe girl of her grand pn. She decided to create the perfect stage, while Ciel focused on awakening Ingvild’s Sacred Gear.

  With all her preparations plete, Roxanne just had to wait for Ciel to finish her part. Luckily, she didn’t have to wait long.

  [Master, Ingvild Leviathan is ready to be awakened. Shall I proceed?]

  “Yes, Ciel, do it.”

  [As you and, Master,] Ciel replied with visible enthusiasm. And like a certain slime might say, when Ciel gets enthusiastic, the bance of power is about to be broken.

  Roxanne’s eyes began to glow red, indig that Ciel had taken trol. She eled the unique energy Roxanne ied from her mother, Azrael—the energy of death.

  trary to popur belief, the energy of death isn’t always used t about death. Its primary purpose is to deal with souls. When a being dies, their soul isn’t usually harmed, and resurre is possible by using magic to restruct their physical body. However, if the soul is shattered, the being ot be revived uhe soul regee, which is far more difficult than it sounds.

  Sihe energy of death is with souls, Ciel calcuted a precise, nohal amount tet Ingvild’s soul, specifically the area where her Sacred Gear resided. By allowing the energy of death to e into tact with the Sacred Gear, it triggered the automatic safety funbedded in every Sacred Gear.

  Because a Sacred Gear relies on the soul to fun, it automatically stimutes the soul when the Sacred Gear is tampered with. That’s why Sacred Gears tend to ma when their host is in aionally unstable situation. The soul, uo release its energy effitly, forces the Sacred Gear to activate in order to bahe soul's output.

  This is the truth behind the Juggernaut Drive, embedded in Sacred Gears like Boosted Gear and Divine Dividing. What makes them unique is that these Sacred Gears try to tain as much excess soul energy as possible. This is why the previous hosts influehe current ohe stored energy leaks and begins to ihe present host’s soul. It’s a curse the Red Dragon Emperor and White Dragon Emperor must bear.

  Sihe hatred es from within the Sacred Gear itself, it’s nearly impossible for any third party to purify it without directly tampering with the Sacred Gear. However, the Sacred Gears have their own security system to prevent hag. So is it truly impossible? Or is there another way?

  In a world of clouds, a girl was sleeping in a bed that was strangely made out of clouds. The girl’s body began to show movement indig that she was about to wake up.

  Slowly the girl began to open her revealing two beautiful e eyes. The girl woke up from her sleeping posture and began to look around fused. A few seds ter crity began to e to her as she frantically looked around and while jumping out of her bed. Feeling the texture of something solid she began to walk slowly and found that the ground she walks is a cloud since she could disperse it a bit with her hand but when she walked on it, the cloud became as solid as a rock.

  Uo find a reason for this phenomenotered,

  “ Where in the name of the Satans am I “

  She said that expeg no answer but to her surprise, she actually got one.

  “ You, my child is in my domain, the nd of the dead. “

  Startled she turned around and saw a throne made out of clouds that was not there earlier. And sitting on that throne is a beautiful dy who has her beautiful White angel wings spread. While surrounding her were various ons that were glowing golden. She herself was glowing in a white light that seemed to hide her face or the mortal like her is unqualified to see her beauty.

  How did Invild know she was a beauty? Because despite not seeing her face she has a well-sculptured body that radiates holiness. She also has a on her head that indicates herself as queen.

  Invild was surprised at this, despite not knowing much about the supernatural world she khat this being is not an angel who is a holy being because she was then Invild would feel paio her aura that she was tinuously releasing due to her devil heritage. But no she even feels fortable in her aura.

  Invild then asked,

  “ Who are you “

  The girl smiled, which was fusing sinvild couldn’t see her face but she knew she was smiling. The dy then decred in her angelic voice,

  “ My name is…..”
