After agreeing to Yahweh's battle plan, Tatsuma discussed some specific details with her.
After confirming there were no issues, Yahweh returned to the basement to prepare the battlefield.
As for Tatsuma, he returned upstairs and found Ravel who was currently unpacking her luggage.
"Tatsuma-san, is there something you need?"
"Let me tell you about your next job."
Tatsuma took out a stack of information about MAR.
"Currently, MAR is managed by Ladli. Your task is to monitor her situation. Once Ladli makes any small move, you must report it to me or Akatsuki in a timely manner."
"I understand."
Ravel nodded, her face serious.
Tatsum said, "Oh right, I heard from Yahweh about the Evil Piece. You want to be my Bishop, right?"
"Huh?"
Not expecting the topic to change so suddenly, Ravel was stunned for a moment, hesitated for two seconds, and then nodded. "Yes, I want to be Tatsuma-san's Bishop, but I heard you no longer have any Bishop pieces."
"It's okay, that's not a problem."
Tatsuma didn't pay too much attention to this and replied after a brief thought, "First, let me tell you the solution. Because of some transactions on my side, I can produce new Bishop pieces."
"However, for the subsequent Rating Game, you becoming the third Bishop might prevent you from participating."
"If you can accept this, I'll get a Bishop piece later and exchange it with your mother."
Ravel hesitated and asked, "Are there any other solutions?"
"Of course there are."
Tatsuma took out the remaining Evil Pieces.
"I'll take out the Bishop piece inside you and then place new Evil Pieces."
"However, this way you won't be able to be a Bishop. You can only choose among Rook, Knight, and Pawn."
"Wait a minute."
Ravel's eyes suddenly widened, and a look of shock appeared on her face.
"Tatsuma-san, why are all your Evil Pieces mutated pieces?"
Tatsuma put a finger to his lips. "Remember to keep it a secret. Don't let anyone else know about this."
"Okay."
Ravel nodded vigorously.
Producing Evil Pieces, a large number of mutated pieces, the technique of removing Evil Pieces...
In less than a minute, Tatsuma successively exposed several secrets that could shock Devil society.
Facing such trust, Ravel's face showed an excited expression as if she had been acknowledged.
"Even if I lose this life, I will not tell anyone else your secret, Tatsuma-san."
Tatsuma shrugged, "There's no need to be that serious. Alright, make your choice. Do you want to be the third Bishop, or transfer to another class?"
"...I want to transfer and be a Pawn." Ravel hesitated for a moment and replied.
"No problem."
Tatsuma handed the Pawn piece to Ravel.
"Go find Yahweh in the material room on the fourth basement floor and have her help you replace the Evil Piece inside you."
"Okay."
Ravel accepted the Evil Piece, waved goodbye to Tatsuma, and immediately rushed towards the basement.
Watching her leave, Tatsuma went to another room on the same floor, pushed the door open, and walked in.
Inside the room, Candice and Bambietta, who were chatting in code, exchanged glances and actively came forward to greet him.
However, just as they were about to say hello, a special aura emanated from Tatsuma. Affected by this aura, the bodies of Candice and Bambietta trembled, and they stood rooted to the spot as if their souls had been lost.
Their gaze lingered on Tatsuma's face, and an indescribable impulse surged in their chests. In just a few seconds, Candice's and Bambietta's eyes were filled with primal desire.
Reiatsu converged at their fingertips, and Candice and Bambietta tore off the fabric on Tatsuma's body, their hands working together.
"This effect is a bit strong."
Tatsuma didn't pay attention to their actions and silently used Senjutsu to check their condition.
Indestructible's life aura, the charm effect of Harem King, plus more than a dozen traits that increase charm value.
With the effects of many traits stacked, his attractiveness to the opposite sex had reached its limit. If he didn't suppress the aura on his body, even warriors like Candice and Bambietta, who had undergone training and had firm wills, would instantly fall.
However...
The 'fallen for you' judgment wasn't triggered. Is it really impossible to achieve complete surrender just through charm?
Looking at Bambietta in front of him, who had already lost her rationality and was diligently helping him sharpen his sword, Tatsuma pondered for a moment, opened his trait inventory, and granted her Vampire Bloodline.
[Trait imbuement successful. Click to view target panel.]
As the prompt sounded, Bambietta's Reiatsu surged, and her strength was comprehensively enhanced.
"Huh? What is this?"
Perhaps because her soul was strengthened, Bambietta briefly regained consciousness, and a hint of confusion flashed in her eyes.
Memories surfaced in her mind, she realized what had happened, and let out a cry of surprise.
"Red Dragon Emperor! You bastard!"
"Is this how you treat your master?"
Looking at Bambietta, who had suddenly disappeared and appeared not far away, Tatsuma slightly shook his head, expressing his dissatisfaction. "Since you signed the contract, you must understand your place."
"Bambietta, kneel down and admit your mistake now, and I can let bygones be bygones and spare you."
"Who wants to admit their mistake to you! You bastard!"
Enduring the discomfort coming from her body, Bambietta raised her hand and summoned her Reishi Bow, aiming it at Tatsuma.
Vast Reiatsu continuously converged, and in the next instant, it turned into countless arrows that shot towards Tatsuma.
However, just then, a slender figure appeared in front of Tatsuma and also shot out arrows to block the attack.
"Candice? What are you doing!" Bambietta's eyes widened, her face filled with surprise.
"Of course she's protecting me." Reaching out and touching Candice's head, Tatsuma chuckled and replied.
"Damn it! What the hell did you do!" Bambietta gritted her teeth, her spirit tense.
From waking up until now, only a few seconds had passed. But every time her gaze fell on Tatsuma, desire would uncontrollably surge in her heart. What was even more terrifying was that even if she looked away and didn't look, the desire in her heart would still continue to increase.
No, I can't hide my strength anymore.
To resist the aura from Tatsuma, Bambietta made a decision, and her aura began to gradually rise.
But just as her Vollständig was about to activate, Tatsuma appeared in front of her.
Bang!
A fist containing terrifying immense power landed on her abdomen, and Bambietta's mind instantly went blank. Her legs trembled, and Bambietta let out a scream and fell forward.
"Why make it harder on yourself?"
Tatsuma reached out and grabbed Bambietta's head, without any hint of pity in his eyes.
"I ignored your malice and kindly took you in to stay. You should be grateful."
"Attacking the master you signed a contract with, is it because I'm not as terrifying as Yhwach in your eyes?"
"No... Don't kill me!"
Feeling the terrifying aura coming from Tatsuma, Bambietta's body trembled, and her eyes were filled with fear.
At this moment, she didn't care to think about why her identity was exposed and quickly begged for mercy.
"I was wrong! Master!"
"Please! Give me another chance!"
"You don't know you were wrong, you just know you're going to die." Tatsuma chuckled, grabbed Bambietta's head, and brought it to his other arm.
"Suck my blood."
"Huh?"
"I just granted you the Vampire Bloodline. Use the power of the bloodline within you to suck my blood."
Vampire Bloodline?
A hint of confusion appeared in Bambietta's eyes.
However, in the current situation, she had no time to think about the meaning behind Tatsuma's words. According to Tatsuma's request, she focused her attention inward and mobilized the power from her bloodline.
From the Quincy, the Blut Vene appeared on her body, and at the same time, two fangs emerged from the corners of her lips.
As if understanding something, Bambietta looked at Tatsuma's arm and cautiously bit down.
A few seconds later, blood brimming with surging vitality entered her mouth. An indescribable fragrance shot straight to her head, and every cell in Bambietta's body began to tremble.
Time slowly passed.
As she drank more and more blood, Bambietta's urge to drink blood not only wasn't satisfied, but it grew even stronger. Her pupils gradually became covered in blood-red, and everything in her vision slowly disappeared.
Tatsuma didn't pay attention to Bambietta's reaction, he just stood still and continued the test.
