"This is a projection technique that I recently developed and haven't named yet," Kisuke answered while pointing at his nonexistent legs.
Kuroka and Medusa then approached him and began touching him, "How does this work? I know it's a Magic Power projection, but since you aren't dead and have a real body, you shouldn't be able to do this, right?" asked the latter curiously.
Before creating a body for her using her eyes that Kisuke confiscated from Cao Cao, the leader of the Hero Faction, Medusa had been projecting a shell made out of Magic Power to contain her soul and it was also the method her sisters use to come out of her. However, that would require not having a physical body, and even if she successfully projected one, there would be no soul to control it so it would disperse immediately.
Reaching that line of thinking, Medusa's eyes widened as she realized something, "...Did you take a part of your soul and inject it in here?"
"Correct~" Kisuke snapped his fingers, "As expected of the expert~!"
"What do you mean expert? If you could do this without any repercussions, I can only consider myself as an amateur."
Kisuke just chuckled and explained, "I indeed took a part of my soul and built a body around it. However, I can only control one body at a time for now, so my main body is currently unconscious. On top of that, I'm technically a normal person in this and if this is destroyed, I'll take damage that I wouldn't be able to laugh at."
"So we need to protect the fragile you! Got it, nyaa~! Leave it to me!" Kuroka declared as she continued to caress Kisuke's body trying to find something different from it.
"So... Where's my OP Queen?"
Kuroka stopped what she was doing and pouted, "Do you really have to phrase it that way?"
"It's true though?"
"If I knew you'd create your own peerage, I would have presented myself on a silver platter, nyaa."
"But none of you could actually convert to a Devil." Kisuke said as he saw Medusa start walking towards the cabin so he followed her while the sulking black cat was now hanging from his back quietly.
A minute later, the group arrived at Riveria's door but instead of knocking, Kisuke directly and rudely opened the door, "Where's my favorite Elf?!"
What greeted his crass behavior was a flying book to the face. Since even his senses and reactions were dulled, Kisuke couldn't dodge it and a loud smack was heard.
"!?" But instead of the victim, the assailant was the one surprised, "Why didn't you dodge that!?" Riveria, with obvious dark circles around her eyes, yelled.
The book dropped down and a clear mark was left on Kisuke's face, "I couldn't..."
Riveria was about to retort but decided against it when she saw the floating Kisuke and Kuroka, "You have another weird transformation..."
"It's not a transformation nor it is weird." Kisuke rubbed his face, "But let's set that aside for now. I don't have much time but I'd like to do my best until the conflict breaks out ."
"Conflict breaks out?" Riveria left her bed and started stacking the messy books.
"These two will explain it to you later. For now, tell me the whole story."

It wasn't long before Kisuke got a grasp of the whole picture and like Kuroka, he also had a similar reaction, "What a ridiculous ability... When I said take everything, I didn't quite mean it that literally."
Riveria stared at him for a few moments before asking, "Then what did you mean?"
"..." Kisuke wanted to say that he meant she could shape her Demonic Power in any way she wanted and take on any ability, but he was afraid that he'd only confuse the Elf and just shook his head, "It's nothing. This is the path you've chosen to take and it's the correct one... No... You must make it the correct one regardless of what others say. Just remember that this is your own power and not something borrowed."
"Are you saying this now because you think I'd misunderstand it again?"
Kisuke nodded happily, "That's right~. You might not notice it yourself, but you do have some insecurities. Being insecure in your own power, that's not very Demonic, isn't it?"
"Don't worry about it. I already realized that the moment I opened these 'eyes'."
"That's good." Kisuke then floated up and kept his notes under his kosode, "I already got what I need for the Soul Gear that should be of help to you."
"Soul Gear?"
"You've seen it. Those strange weapons materialized out of nowhere. The most famous right now is the Red and White Dragons. Soul Gears are something similar to them."
A certain image emerged in Riveria's mind, "Ah... Those... I still can't believe something like that exists."
Instead of Teleportation Magic, Kisuke's body began to disperse and before he fully disintegrated, Kisuke reminded them, "By the way, don't reveal any of this as much as possible if you still want to enter these Magic Organizations. If you reveal your ability to them, most of them will bar your entry just because you might learn their Magic Technology with just a simple glance."

Kisuke reopened his eyes and materialized the notes he'd taken while asking Riveria, Medusa, and Kuroka about the former's ability, 'It's already an unreasonable power even with its restrictions since it could also potentially copy unique powers that their original users don't fully understand... In that case, let's make it even more unreasonable so that everyone she faces will want to pull their hair out~!'
A grin emerged on Kisuke's face as he imagined the reaction people would have in the face of Riveria's fully developed ability, 'How fun~! For starters, a battery is needed. Second, memory storage where she could transfer that temporary knowledge and make it more permanent. The third is a limiter to decrease the scope of what she can see.'
Standing up from his seat, Kisuke went to the deeper part of his laboratory, 'Depending on how well she does, Riveria might be the first one who'll be able to create a library where all Magic exists.'
