Chapter 234 Act Five: Lucifer And Her Three Demon Sins II
- POV General -
In the Elysium arena, one of the last acts of the play announced by Kira more than an hour ago was being played out. Everything had started with Alayna, Luna and the King and at this moment, everything had changed radically, offering a completely different spectacle for the others. The magnificent black she-wolf, symbol and Empress of the Empire, stood there facing two other huge creatures almost as big, prostrate.
Several months had passed since Zal\'s expedition of adventurers had disappeared and so had the twins June and May. Of this group, only Alayna, Vig and the souls of the two sisters who had been sleeping in Freya\'s space until now, were left, waiting to be freed. And that was it, the ruler of Elysium had finally decided to let them out, using the ritual as a demonstration of her power in front of her warriors.
Everyone except Kira and Gaya was speechless, even the Chaos Commanders who had never seen such a thing happen despite being the Empress\' closest warriors. In front of their eyes she had given life to two creatures they had killed in the crypt, and what\'s more with the souls of two humans captured months ago. For everyone else, this was a real possibility.
"Kira !"
The she-wolf\'s big voice suddenly echoed in the arena that was big enough to hold everyone, making the silver-haired fox jump. Without thinking, it was her little sister\'s turn to suddenly take her form before slowly walking towards June and May. The two newly awakened girls still didn\'t know what was going on, but at the sight of the three-tailed fox, their instinct took over again.
Still keeping their heads down, the huge black griffin and the deep emerald snake let Kira stand between them. Thus, in front of Freya stood the first three sins she had managed to gather out of the six she was missing. Except for her wife and sister, no one really knew what this scene meant, why these three young women who had only fought together seem to be related ?
Knowing full well that many questions were on everyone\'s mind, the she-wolf turned to face those who were waiting in silence. The aura that these three beasts gave off, coupled with that of the Empress, was very strong even for the Commanders, which helped to keep their attention. Closing her eyes for a few seconds, the Empress opened them again before officially introducing what they were with her voice.

- POV Freya -
"I present to you the first three members of the special unit directly under my command of which Princess Kira is the Commander. I present to you the true Demons that the humans spoke of with such fear. We are...pride, envy, greed and...wrath."
As I spoke these words, I circled around June, Kira and May still staring with my sharp eyes at the slightest reaction in the crowd. Everyone was vigorous, gradually understanding that I was not joking about the nature of their race given mine. The most obvious reactions were among my envious Commanders and Kira who was not expecting to become a Commander tonight.
- PING -
[ Congratulations Freya ! You are now in possession of 4 out of 6 sins. You have unlocked 10% on your Goddess title, 50% allowing you to change your evolution: Ice Demon Wolf of Chaos when you reach level 70 ]
[ Demon Goddess of Primordial Blood and Death - 20% > Demon Goddess of Primordial Blood and Death - 30% ]
Not paying attention to the system notifications I was receiving, I turned my head to the three remaining guests we had with us. My new toy was shaking but stayed where he was knowing his new status and Myles still alive was almost in the same state. The one whose reaction intrigued me the most was once again this Jade who had hidden her identity for a reason I didn\'t know yet.
The young redheaded woman was not trembling, still as silent as ever, but this time her emerald eyes had changed in front of this spectacle. At the moment when our eyes met, I judged that this demonstration was necessary because I saw in a few seconds what I had sensed. Indeed, Jade although not knowing me at all, seemed for a reason that I did not know yet, to be familiar with the terms that I had used.
*Is the information she holds related to her history ? Maybe so...but one thing is sure, it was worth it...*
I felt my powerful jaw open slightly, revealing my sharp fangs in a beastly smile that was hard to suppress. I had just announced the creation of my special unit led by Kira and the announcement had shaken everyone in different ways but the effect had been powerful. Turning around again, I felt myself becoming small again as I took on my humanoid form, covered in ice clothes.
With a snap of my fingers, without even needing to speak, the three demons that towered over me in size also reverted to human form. I knew that my little sister could understand what I meant, but it seemed that June and May could too. It was like a hive mind between Sins going beyond telepathy, instead using the instincts of each of its members.
The moment their feet hit the ground, ice clothes came to cover them, while all three of them put a knee on the ground, bowing to me. I said nothing, watching carefully what the two sisters surrounding Kira looked like. June, had long straight brown hair, she looked quite young, her eyes as light blue as the sky, a horn on her forehead and a snake tail on her lower back.

*Ara ?*
Looking at her status, I discovered that not only was she level 15 like Kira when she woke up but her element had changed slightly. When I fought the snake in the crypt, her element was only acid, yet before my eyes, I could clearly read "flammable acid". Was this related to her "natural acid manipulation" attack skill ? I didn\'t know, but it all looked interesting.
*Let\'s see her sister, things may become clearer once I look at her status too*
Turning my head to the right, I was now watching May, still kneeling in front of me in silence, despite her palpable confusion. She also had long and straight brown hair, the same face as June, the same horn but only two things differentiated her. The first one, her eyes were not light blue but completely white as snow and she didn\'t have a snake\'s tail but two big black feathered wings in the back.

____
*That\'s what I thought...*
The status of the twins was the same with a few changes, but more importantly, her element was also different. The griffin in the crypt used fire but here it said "acidified darkfire". It was as if June and May shared the same blood and merged their elements when they were reborn as Demon Sins. May\'s attack skill even said "natural fire manipulation" too.
*Therefore, it would be possible that through my connection with them, the two sisters could develop new attacks in the future like Kira and I as well as merge them through their connection...*
It wasn\'t crazy, after all, before I swallowed their souls they were perfect biological twins with the exact same element and mana. Plus, during her fight with Myles, my little sister had surprised me with her use of her element. Her attacks had been different from the name of her attack skills, which proved that their evolution depended only on their training.
*All three are no longer subject to the restriction of the system of this world as I emancipated myself from it a short time ago. Of course, this is still much less powerful than for me, but it still makes them rather unique...*
The system itself stated in each of their status: "to the possibility of seeing her status change and her skills evolve as the host". This had the merit of being clear and even if I planned to challenge all three of them to test their power, I still had to wait. Besides, once tonight\'s event was over, I still had to explain to the sisters what had happened and find them a place to sleep.
*Maybe I could have a special building built for the demon unit I just created that would be on the grounds of the mansion. Not counting Kira, there should be five of them living there to promote team cohesion...mmmh...never mind*
"Get up."
Shaking my head feeling that I was getting a little off track, I ordered June, Kira and May to stand up after doing all the initial checks I wanted. The first one to stand up in a flash was my little sister, her beautiful purple eyes shining with pride. Kira was part of the Imperial family but her title of Princess did not suit her, preferring to be named Commander rather than be mistaken for my daughter.
She not only resembled me physically, but also in many aspects of her personality which made me very proud. With this new title, all I hoped was to see her blossom and shine in the Empire like the jewel she was. June and May followed soon after, looking up at me while shaking and glancing at each other discreetly, lost but relieved to be together.
"June, May...welcome to the Empire of Elysium or should I say...welcome back ? fufu~"
Saying these words, I turned back to the crowd, my wife and my Commanders as I raised my arm towards everyone. Everyone stood and stared at the twins who didn\'t dare to look up at the hundreds of people staring at them. However, they soon recognized Theophylactus sitting next to my ice throne, which had the effect of freezing them in place at the sight.
"I see fufu~"
Reaching out in his direction, using my "Ice Creation" skill once again, I extended the chain attached to his collar before grabbing him. Pulling with a sharp jerk, I propelled my new toy straight towards me with a sadistic smile. The former King came crashing down a few seconds later right at my feet but not giving him time to breathe, I lifted his chin in my direction with the tip of my boot.
"How about greeting these two young women who have just been reborn before your eyes ? They\'re only level 15 but I\'m sure they can single-handedly burn down a small town like Yarlford fufu~"
I wanted to see what reaction the man and the two sisters who totally knew who he was or at least who he had been would have. To my surprise, turning to them, he lowered his head without a word, showing his respect instantly. At that moment, a special glow began to shine in the eyes of June and May. The same gleam that I had seen in Kira\'s eyes many times, a gleam that showed a thirst for power.
Seeing their former ruler bowing so easily to them seemed to have awakened this desire for domination, which was very much accentuated by their new race. When my demon form was first unlocked, I remember struggling to contain my bloodlust. The twins had to go through this phase too which immediately gave me an idea I wouldn\'t have thought I had.
"June, May !"
"Y-Yes...
...your H-Highness ?"
A sudden urge to test their bestial and demonic instincts had taken hold of me, finding the situation more than perfect for a little fun. The sisters didn\'t know how long they had been gone, or what I expected of them, awakened in a different body and race. How far their instincts and loyalty as Demons under me could go ? I wanted to know.
"It\'s time for your first fight, and what better way to do that than with an exiled vampire ?"
This impromptu fight would signal the end of this night, but would set off a series of adventures and revelations that even I could never have predicted.
