Serea looked down and saw that Dogsius was staring at her with his big, innocent eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes, since you're asking like this, do you have any good solutions?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes, it is my honor to ease my master's worries.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Then let's hear it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Serea asked curiously; she wanted to see what good ideas Dogsius could come up with.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"My beautiful master, have you forgotten my abilities? You can entrust that body to me, and I can transform the boundless power inside it into support for you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Mmm!!!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Serea suddenly realized—how had she not thought of this before? Didn't she have a parasite demon—Dogsius—under her command!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"All right.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Serea agreed to Dogsius's suggestion, then turned her head to look at Celia.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You want to follow me, right?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I just want to protect Princess Serea.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But if so, you'll have to act together with us.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"......\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Celia said nothing, just stood there quietly listening.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But as a member of the church, from a certain perspective, we're natural enemies. So if you want to follow me, you'll first have to prove you bear no hostility.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"How do I prove it?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Let it prove it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As she spoke, Serea opened her hand, revealing a black furry ball. On seeing that strange fuzzball, Celia couldn't help but ask.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before Serea could answer, Dogsius introduced himself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I am Dogsius, the famed parasite demon—you must have heard of me.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What is that?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Celia's question almost choked Dogsius to death.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"A parasite demon! I am a high-level abyssal demon—a parasite demon. You mean you haven't heard of me?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Celia shook her head, and Serea also shot Dogsius a disdainful look.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So the parasite demonic race had fallen to such a state...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No, I must reclaim the dignity of the parasite demons!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hmph, ignorant human! I won't blame you for your shallowness, but know this: If you entrust your body to me, then my great master will allow you to follow. Do you dare accept?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Go ahead.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Eh?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing Celia's indifferent expression, Dogsius was stunned. Had humans these days truly become so foolish, agreeing so readily to possession by a parasite demon?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Do it. As long as I can protect Princess Serea, I'll accept any condition.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Celia showed a fearless expression. Serea urged Dogsius.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"She's agreed—hurry up and do it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Oh.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dogsius, just ruthlessly slapped by reality, lost all his earlier arrogance. He answered meekly, then jumped to the ground and moved to Celia's feet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But after bouncing a few times, Dogsius couldn't climb up Celia by himself, so he had to look up at her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Um... Would you give me a hand...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Having said this, Dogsius was deeply ashamed, feeling once again that he was embarrassing himself before his master.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He dared not look at Serea's expression; Celia, however, had already reached down to pick him up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Thank you. Just put me on your shoulder.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Following Dogsius's instructions, Celia put him on her shoulder. Dogsius then tried to crawl inside her light armor, but because the armor was seamless, he couldn't get in.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Um... Could you take off your armor...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As he continued, Dogsius's voice grew smaller and smaller. A parasite demon having to beg its host for help—this was truly shameful.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The girl didn't say much. She simply undid the strap at her back, took off her silver-plated chest armor, and Dogsius struggled to crawl to where her heart was, securing himself there.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I'm starting now.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After saying this, Dogsius stabbed his four short legs into the girl's skin. Feeling the stabbing pain, Celia frowned, but she endured it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Dogsius stabbed in his legs, he fixed himself above the girl's heart, and his form began to change.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The furball hardened, acquiring a metallic sheen. The change lasted about ten seconds; the original fuzzball became a black, diamond-shaped jewel set at Celia's heart, looking almost like a crystal pendant at first glance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After Dogsius's short legs pierced into Celia's heart area, they spread out to fix himself in place.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ah!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Suddenly, Celia felt a sharp pain in her head and almost collapsed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But after the confusion in her mind passed, she suddenly discovered that her body was no longer under her control.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Celia half-knelt in front of Serea. Then Dogsius's adorable voice sounded out from the black gem at Celia's heart.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"My queen, your Dogsius has returned in a brand-new form.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As he spoke, Dogsius controlled Celia's body, making her half-kneel before Serea.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing her own body kneeling to that demon, Celia's face showed disgust, but no matter how she resisted, her body didn't respond at all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Don't bother struggling—your body belongs to me now.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The voice echoed from the black jewel on her chest. Hearing this, Celia could only accept her fate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing Celia kneeling resentfully on one knee before her, Serea felt as if some mysterious switch inside her had been turned on.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ahem, there's no need to kneel.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes, Your Majesty the Queen.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Celia stood up and, embarrassed by her shameful behavior, turned her head away, avoiding Serea's gaze.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Very good. That's fine, just follow me from now on.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Serea spoke, then Dogsius asked again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"So, my master, should I erase her consciousness?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Huh?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Serea was confused.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"To prevent her from resisting, I personally recommend erasing her consciousness entirely.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Glancing at the composed Celia—saving her had been Serea's last wish, so...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Forget it, just make sure you control her actions.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"As you command, my master!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dogsius replied. Noticing that Celia was obviously repulsed by being controlled, Serea spoke to Dogsius again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"All right, return her bodily control. Only take over if necessary.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dogsius's voice came from the black gem. Celia felt her control return, but having not been prepared, her body gave out and she collapsed. Serea quickly stepped forward to help her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once she stood firm, Serea withdrew her hand, while Celia put her chest armor back on and asked,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Why not erase my consciousness? It would be easier for you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Faced with this question, Serea scratched her head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"How should I put it—since Serea's last wish was to save you, of course I'll respect her wishes, also...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Serea smiled brightly at her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Why would I do such a thing? I'm not some kind of demon, you know!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>(To be continued...)\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>-------------= Clacky's Corner -------------=\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Undead queen claiming she's not a demon...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Well, she's not wrong.
