Chapter 519 Demonic Ritual
"Hmmm… Hmmm… Hmmm… Yeah, I got no clue who that is. Was he close with Paimon because he wanted to take revenge against me for killing Paimon… so I would assume they were brothers or something,"
"Nope, and he was definitely lying, but I guess if you lie with such an insane expression, anybody will believe you," The devil sighed before gesturing for me to follow, and I reluctantly did, making my way to the palace front gates where a few guards greeted us.
"Welcome back. Your bath is ready… and, who might this lovely woman be?"
"My wife. She will be staying here for a while, so treat her like how you would treat me… or else," The devil announced sternly, yet it seemed the guards weren't all that surprised.
Seems I'm not the first one…
As I followed her through the front gates and into the garden, I noticed the same red flowers were still attempting to bloom here, just showing how much work the devil had put in for that ceremony.
The palace inside was very similar to mine on the Plane of Twilight as it was dark but illuminated with beautiful glowing stones.
"You know, I took inspiration from your own castle, although the amount of greenery is much less for obvious reasons," She chuckled before taking my hand, yanking me into a sprint as she directed me towards her courtyard.
"What's wrong! Where are we going!" I shouted through the tunneling wind around us just before we turned the corner and appeared at a patch of grass. "Ah… I see," I muttered as just a bit further into the patch of grass was a gray altar with five other demonic-looking beings shrouded with white robes.
"Please lay in the center of the altar. It will be completely painless with my assistance, so don't worry about anything. Just try to trust me a bit,"
"Kukuku… Are you that desperate to see your husband again?" I chuckled, as she seemed to hate her husband on the outside but, in reality, deeply missed him.
"Just shut the hell up and get on the altar," She sighed, and so I didn't resist any longer, but did place a few buffs on myself which the devil had no problem with.
As I lay on the altar, I felt my consciousness instantly fade, not giving me any time to even prepare myself as a red light filled my vision once my mind went blank.
It was strange, I was feeling things, yet I felt nothing at the same time, and then, I reopened my eyes and found I was naked but covered with a blanket.

…
"Well, this isn't very fun, is it?" The devil muttered as an unconscious, naked woman identical to myself lay next to her feet, only just barely waking up.
"You really pulled through," The woman chuckled as she stood up, flexing her fingers to make sure they were real.
Her entire body began to distort and shift before molding into a form one could only describe as… beautiful?
