"Impossible!!"
"How… how can he be this strong!!!" Katerea's head spun. She never imagined Takumi's power would be so overwhelming.
What was supposed to be a one-sided battle had indeed become one-sided—but she was the one utterly crushed!
"I'm the one destined to reclaim the title of Leviathan Demon Lord! How could I fall here?!"
With a furious roar, Katerea decisively pulled out several snakes. They were the serpents she'd obtained from Ophis, the Infinite Dragon God. She had intended to save them for her future battle against Serafall… but now, she had no other choice.
Swallowing all the snakes at once, Katerea's wounds healed at incredible speed. The gashes that nearly split her body in two sealed completely, leaving her bare waist exposed to the air.
Thin, dark-violet scraps of fabric clung to her body through sheer magic power—yet the tight fit still outlined the enticing curves of her hips and the distinct camel toe beneath.
Her strength surged to Special-Class Devil, and a wild grin spread across her face.
"Takumi-kun~ you'll never defeat me!!!"
The sudden explosion of magic distorted space itself; the entire mountain range—and even Kuoh Town beyond—trembled under her overwhelming aura.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Even the real-world Kuoh Town couldn't escape the rippling shockwaves. Half the town's windows shattered in unison, and every heart felt the crushing weight of her magic.
"This level of magic pressure could wipe out Kuoh Town in an instant! What the hell is happening!?"
Across the town, every magical girl, demon, and fallen angel sensed the terrifying power. Rias's face went pale—one wrong move and the whole town would be reduced to dust.
Meanwhile, in the mirror-dimension battlefield, Takumi watched the now-empowered Katerea, who had devoured the serpents and ascended beyond his measurable reach. His expression beneath the crimson armor remained unreadable.
"Special-Class Devil, huh. Tricky opponent. Unless I use [Juggernaut Drive], I can't overpower her by brute force… But in this situation—there's really no need for that."
The corner of his lips curled upward as he stared straight at the laughing Katerea. Her body wreathed in black flames, she soared into the sky to confront him face-to-face once again, looking down with the same arrogance as before.
"To think you forced me to consume my [Snakes]… but this is the end for you!!"
"Yeah. The end indeed."
"Hahahaha!!!"
They laughed—both of them—but Katerea's smile froze first. Something about his calm laughter felt… off. A dissonance spread quietly in her chest.
"It's just my imagination. Definitely! No matter what tricks you have, you'll never beat me!!"
Muttering to herself, Katerea gathered all her remaining magic to annihilate him completely.
"Return all borrowed power to its origin—Reset."
"Purification."
A nearly conceptual wave of restorative force descended upon her. Under Takumi's gaze, the black serpents were instantly dispelled; all the power that didn't belong to Katerea vanished in the purifying reset.
Even her sorceress robe crumbled to ash, leaving her standing in her most primitive form before him.
Her voluptuous body, her wild, sun-tanned skin, the luscious curves—every inch exuded temptation, igniting a dangerous heat in the air.
At that moment, confusion filled her mature and seductive face. "My power… the snakes' power—gone?!"
"Forget about that. Time to settle our score."
The crimson-armored Takumi vanished and reappeared right before her.
Even with her remaining Demon Lord–level magic, she had no will to resist anymore.
She wasn't his match—she was never his match. Among equals, their difference was still that of heaven and earth.
Against Takumi—whose stats were a perfect circle—Katerea, whose only merit was raw magic output, had no qualifications to stand against him.
As she raised her hand for a desperate counterattack, his fist drove deep into her abdomen.
Puh!
Katerea spat out bile as her belly caved in with a clean imprint of his fist. Her body crashed to the ground like a meteor—but this time, the blow wasn't nearly fatal.
"Why… why did you hold back?"
Gazing up at him in bewilderment, Katerea saw Takumi descend and seize her by the throat, lifting her effortlessly off the ground. Then, with a cold smirk, he brought her into his Interdimensional Realm.
"Heh~ I still remember your bold words earlier. Didn't you say you'd make me submit? Then let's see you sing submission instead!"
Slap!
His palm landed firmly on her sinful ass, and waves rippled outward in a dangerously beautiful rhythm. The [Master–Servant Contract] sigil flared beneath them.
Katerea recognized it instantly and thrashed violently.
"No! No!!!"
She tried to resist, but pinned under Takumi's dominance, she was helpless. A pink heart-shaped collar appeared around her neck, sealing her fate as his servant.
Instantly, a massive surge of cursed energy flooded her mind, crashing into her heart.
"AAAAAAHHHH!!!"
Her eyes rolled back as she screamed, veins throbbing, tears streaming down her cheeks.
Zzzzt! Zzzzt!
Blood splattered, nearly soaking Takumi's entire body. Katerea's face twisted in agony, her consciousness fading.
"No… this… this contract—ahhh! It's not a normal one!!"
Even through the pain, her expertise in magic told her something was terribly wrong. But the waves of curses numbed her brain and made her body tremble uncontrollably; she couldn't even move a finger.
Takumi released her, letting her collapse onto her knees before him. The ground beneath her was soaked.
Drawing his blade, he pressed it against her face threateningly. "If you don't want your brain fried, start talking—every magic formula you know."
Smack! Smack! Smack!
Three sharp blows reddened her face, but her lips stayed firmly shut, defiant.
Watching her stubborn silence, Takumi's crimson armor dissipated, revealing his unblemished, handsome face as he gazed down at her.
"Still resisting? Fine. I'll make you open that mouth and confess everything yourself."
Grabbing her by the chin, he pulled her up, staring into her trembling eyes. His expression darkened as he prepared to teach her a lesson she wouldn't forget.
"No~ no~~ you can't—mmph!!"
Her weak protest turned into a muffled cry as he seized her soft spot, forcing her submission…
