Gerbil was brandishing the green trident in his hand, preparing to continue, when Abel's voice sounded.
"That's enough, Gerbil."
Gerbil immediately stopped, and plunged the green trident into the ground, saying, "Alright, My Lord."
Abel descended from the sky to the ground and said, "Gerbil, stop the sandstorm for a moment."
"Alright."
Gerbil clenched his hand, and the sandstorm ceased.
At the same time, a wounded Astarte fell to the ground from within the sandstorm.
Looking at Astarte, Abel sensed her life slowly ebbing away. After all, she was a Homunculus that absorbed magical power to sustain her life. Without a supply of magical power, she would head towards death.
Seeing that it was Abel, Yukina, who was nearby, ran over and said, "King."
From her voice, he could feel her resentment.
Abel smiled. "A King also needs his time alone, doesn't he?"
Yukina, who still wanted to say something, remained silent.
Seeing the two of them chatting and ignoring him, Rudolf Eustach clutched his chest and shouted at Abel and Yukina, "Who are you people!"
He actually didn't recognize him?
He hadn't done his homework thoroughly enough, he needed to go back to the drawing board.
Gerbil spoke up, "Listen up. Standing before you is humanity's Sixth Devil King."
Rudolf Eustach's eyes were filled with shock and bewilderment.
He had used his lottery-winning probability here. This small, broken world now only had six Kings and he had encountered one.
Abel stepped forward but was stopped by Yukina, "King, the person before you is dangerous."
Looking at Yukina, Abel smiled, then threw something to her.
Yukina quickly caught it. Upon closer inspection, she saw that it was the nekomata-tan she had always wanted.
"King!?"
"It's a welcoming gift for you. Leave the rest to me."
Holding the nekomata-tan, Yukina's gaze at Abel grew even more resolute.
Abel came before Rudolf Eustach. He couldn't help but click his tongue, looking at the only unlucky fellow from the original series before him.
After all, if he had just explained it clearly, an arm wasn't something he wouldn't give. He just had to violate the laws and regulations.
"Tell me, why did you do this?"
Rudolf Eustach said, "No reason."
Looking at the unyielding Rudolf Eustach, Abel smiled. "Let me guess, it has something to do with the Saint, doesn't it?"
Rudolf Eustach was stunned, then just as he was about to deny it, he heard Abel say, "It has something to do with the Saint, and it's an arm, isn't it?"
All correct.
Rudolf Eustach looked at Abel, finally lowering his head. "Yes, that's right. Coming here was for the arm of the Saint. The Church's property must not be trampled upon."
As Rudolf Eustach spoke, his face became distorted.
The arm of their Church's Saint was actually located underground on this damned artificial island, and it even stood as the core underground.
This was an insult to their Church!
"Is that so?"
Abel changed the subject, "Do you want to take it back?"
Hearing Abel's words, Rudolf Eustach was stunned.
Was he that easy to talk to?
For this, he had officially taken action today to absorb magical power, and now Abel was telling him he could have it if he wanted it.
What kind of situation was this!
"Can... can I?"
"Of course... not."
As Abel spoke, Rudolf Eustach's face fell, but then he heard Abel say, "If you want that thing, then exchange it for something."
"Exchange? Exchange for what?" Rudolf Eustach asked, puzzled.
After all, members of his Church were practically penniless, they had nothing.
Abel pointed to Astarte, who was lying there like a corpse, "I want this Homunculus."
Rudolf Eustach looked at Astarte, weighing the pros and cons.
Hmm... all pros, no cons.
Firstly, Astarte was something he had cultivated step by step, and her purpose was for the Saint's arm.
Secondly, after the transaction, he wouldn't have to constantly hunt vampires to replenish her life energy.
Otherwise, who knew when Astarte would kick the bucket?
Thinking of this, Rudolf Eustach didn't hesitate, saying, "Deal."
Abel nodded in satisfaction.
He had made a huge profit, trading an arm for Astarte. Then, he would conveniently go to Heaven for a small blackmail.
After all, the Western Church also belonged to the Church, and the Church was subordinate to Heaven.
The corners of Abel's lips involuntarily curved upwards. In short, he could ask the angels for something.
After a brief daydream, Abel snapped back to reality.
"Then it's settled. We'll go together tomorrow night, it's getting late now."
Rudolf Eustach hesitated for a moment, then said, "Alright. We'll go tomorrow night."
With that, he limped back to heal his injuries.
Watching Rudolf Eustach leave, Abel nodded in satisfaction.
Hmm... a perfect collaboration.
"Gerbil, go get that Homunculus."
"Understood."
Gerbil picked up Astarte and then returned to Abel's side.
After examining Astarte, Abel's gaze fell upon the area.
Although it was just a drop in the bucket for him, adhering to the principle of saving where possible and spending where necessary, he decided to restore it to its original state.
He raised a hand, which glowed, and then twisted it.
Under Yukina's shocked gaze, the previously destroyed area reverted to its original appearance.
Watching this scene, Yukina began to doubt the true purpose of the Lion King Organization.
Was it really just to have her serve as the King's guard?
It seemed that the King didn't need a guard at all.
The Lion King Organization stated: Guards can be weak, but they can't be absent, and moreover, you are the key for us to cling to. If one isn't enough, we'll send another.
Not far after leaving, Rudolf Eustach turned back and found that the area, which had been a sea of fire, had been restored to its original state.
The King's strength seemed to exceed his imagination.
Also... did he leave too early? Otherwise, he could have shamelessly asked for some healing.
Never mind. I'll go back.
"Done."
Abel clapped his hands, then turned and said, "Yukina."
"King."
Hearing Abel's words, Yukina walked to his side, awaiting the King's command.
"Let's go home."
As Abel activated the teleportation magic, it enveloped Yukina, Gerbil, and Astarte, initiating the magical transfer.
In an instant, Abel arrived at his home.
In the living room at home.
As Abel, the two people, one rat, and one Homunculus appeared.
Avrora, who was curled up on the sofa, jumped up, but seeing the large hamster next to Abel, she paused.
After sensing it, she understood that the hamster in front of her was a Familiar and it was Abel's Familiar.
But he wasn't a vampire, so why did he have a Familiar?
Avrora tilted her head, a little puzzled.
Gerbil placed Astarte on the sofa, then cupped his fists towards Abel and said, "My Lord, I take my leave."
With that, he transformed into sand and disappeared from where he stood.
As Gerbil disappeared, Avrora came back to her senses and hugged Abel.
"What's wrong? Avrora?"
"Where did you and Yukina go? I'm hungry."
Abel smiled helplessly, patting Avrora's head. "We went to take care of something. What do you want to eat?"
"I want to drink..."
"Not that."
"Alright."
Avrora was a little disappointed, but she quickly recovered. She believed that one day she would be able to drink Abel's blood.
Having set her goal, Avrora looked at Abel and said, "I want ice cream, I want barbecue."
"Okay, we'll make it ourselves at home."
Abel turned to Yukina and said, "Yukina, I'll trouble you later."
Yukina nodded. "No problem."
With that, she walked to the kitchen to begin preparing ingredients.
So, next was Astarte.
Following Abel's gaze, Avrora also looked at Astarte, whose life was constantly ebbing away.
An artificial lifeform with a Familiar.
She felt a little pity.
"Abel, do you need my help? I can suppress the Familiar inside her."
"No need, I have a way."
He said, "Jade Rabbit."
As his voice fell, a rabbit-eared girl wearing a appeared beside him.
"Master."
Abel pointed to Astarte, who was losing life on the sofa, and said, "I'll trouble you."
"Your humble servant obeys."
Jade Rabbit walked to Astarte's side and extended her hand. A soft light emanated from her palms, enveloping Astarte.
She sensed the condition within her body. Because there was no continuous supply of magic power, the Familiar Rhododactylos was devouring her life force.
"I see."
Jade Rabbit nodded, then a mortar appeared on the table in front of her. She lightly flicked her finger and strands of magic power, exuding a medicinal scent, entered the mortar. She held a pestle and ground it.
This was her ability: using her own magic power, which exuded a medicinal fragrance, to pound out a suitable pill according to the patient's condition.
