Devil Slave (Satan system)

Despite the initial shock of Athena’s strength, the devil known as Mushroom Paste was far from defeated. In fact, the surprise seemed to ignite a deeper ferocity within it. Its eyes narrowed with a deadly focus, and without hesitation, it launched itself into the air, aiming to crush Athena beneath its massive form.

Athena’s instincts screamed at her, and she dove to the side, narrowly avoiding the full brunt of the attack. The ground where she had just stood erupted in a cloud of dust and debris as the devil’s claws struck down with terrifying force.

But the reprieve was short-lived—Mushroom Paste was unnaturally fast for its size. In the blink of an eye, it was on her again, its claws slicing through the air towards her face.

Athena raised her flaming swords just in time, the golden blades intercepting the claws with another ear-splitting clang. But as she held the devil at bay, she noticed something that sent a chill down her spine: the corner of its grotesque lips had curled into a mocking smile.

She knew that smile. It was the grin of a predator toying with its prey, the kind that spoke of overconfidence and a twisted sense of enjoyment.

Her eyes widened as the devil’s mouth suddenly yawned open, revealing a long, slick tongue that shot out towards her like a striking snake. But this was no ordinary tongue—it was a monstrous appendage, lined with rows of razor-sharp teeth, each glistening with a sickly sheen as it barreled towards her head.

Instinctively, Athena opened her own mouth, and a blast of searing fire erupted from her throat, surging forward to meet the devil’s grotesque tongue. The flames roared through the air, engulfing the appendage in a blinding flash of light and heat. For a moment, it seemed as though she had the upper hand, the fire overwhelming the devil’s attack.

But it was a ruse.

As her focus remained on the fiery clash in front of her, something cold and slick coiled around her leg. Athena’s heart skipped a beat as she realized what was happening—a tail, the devil’s tail, had slithered around her from behind, moving with silent precision. Before she could react, the tail tightened its grip and yanked her off her feet, smashing her into the ground with bone-rattling force.

The impact sent a shockwave of pain through her body, her sense of the world momentarily blurring as the wind was knocked out of her. The devil loomed over her, its tongue retracting back into its mouth, still smoldering from the fire. Its mocking grin remained, more sinister than ever, as it prepared to press its advantage.

Athena’s mind raced, knowing she was in a dangerous position. The devil had revealed its cunning, its ability to outmaneuver her with speed and strategy. She could feel the heat of its breath on her skin, the ground trembling beneath its weight.

However, she was likewise not as helpless as she seemed to be.

At such a time, right from the middle of her belly, a hand formed, creating its own fire sword that struck upwards, directly slicing into the devil’s body.

The devil was surprised by this.

Such a thing should not be possible. However, Athena was a different kind of person. She had incredible control over the cells of her body, and through practice and her growth in power, she had learnt how to create extra appendages at will.

Although this consumed more energy. right now, She had more to spare.

The Devil bleed from its center as it stepped backwards. It tried to stop the bleeding, but it was of no use. Its fingers could not stop it.

Athena pressed her advantage, willing to give the final blow.

She waved the swords above her head and with her force, pointing downwards, she came for the final blow.

However, just before it would hit, she froze. She froze. Her swords stopped right in front of her. The devil had raised a hand to her, and now she was frozen.

The devil smiled, and then it did something Athena had not known it was capable of all this while.

It spoke.

"Hehehe... Not bad! Not bad!! I had thought that you would be fun, but not this fun. Truly, you are the best snack ever." Its voice was eerie and echoed from its throat. It was like two granite stones scratching roughly against each other.

It was practically an abomination to the ears and to sanity.

Athena tried to move, but she could not. Her body was paused where she was.

"How can you...!? How did you!?" She was speechless as to what was going on.

However, Virgil watching the battle could instantly tell what was going on.

Athena was a very unique individual. However it was that she was made, her cells seem to easily fuse with that of hell, and that was why she was able too easily absorb the Hell beasts in their purest essence and make their power hers.

However, in the same sense, this Devil had partake of her flesh, and had been doing so for a while now.

just like she had been able to absorb the Hell beasts and their essence, this Devil had been able to absorb her own.

And with that, it had also gotten her abilities.

Which meant that right now, it was doing a reverse control on her body.

It waved its fingers and Athena was forced to the ground, her hands fell to her sides and the swords disappeared.

She tried to ruse up a bit of Darkline magic, but it was no use. It had all been suppressed by the force that the Devil commanded.

It stood up to its feet, in an abnormal manner, as if gravity had no effect on its body.

And then it leaned into her, it took a deep sniff of her body. "I was thinking of gifting you to the Cup bearers, but I have waited too long to taste your..."
