Looking at August and his peerages, Rias, for the first time, felt a sense of losing control over the situation.
However, as an heiress who had received elite education, she wouldn't be easily defeated. Soon, she regained her smile.
"August, our high-ranking devils can use reincarnation to transform humans into reincarnated devils. Of course, it's not without benefits. After all, we are devils, not philanthropists."
"So, you're trying to secure my loyalty with a grand promise?"
"It's not absolute. Once you become a high-ranking devil, you can free yourself from the status of my peerage and become a king. Then, you can seek out your own peerages."
"Still painting a grand picture. Rias, from the moment I entered until now, I haven't seen any sincerity from you."
While saying this, a dark magical power, like an abyss, emanated slightly from August.
In an instant, every strand of hair on Rias's body stood on end. Every cell screamed that she would die, urging her to escape immediately, she would definitely die.
As for Akeno, Koneko, and Kiba on the side, they all assumed combat postures.
Especially Kiba, directly using his sacred gear, Sword Birth, creating a demonic sword that stared at August.
"What? Enticement doesn't work, so you want to resort to intimidation?"
Rias took a deep breath, suppressing her shock, and waved her hand to stop them.
However, seeing August's formidable strength made her want him even more.
"You misunderstand, I never thought that way."
"Alright, Rias, can we be a bit more honest? You want me to be your subordinate, to obey your commands. For that, you should at least show some sincerity."
"Sincerity? What do you mean?"
"What do I mean? It seems you has never thought about it this way. You're interested in me because of my strength. So, you want to make me your peerage, right?"
"Yes."
"Since you're interested in my power, if you want me to submit to you, you naturally need to offer something that makes me eager."
Hearing August's words, Rias suddenly understood. He wanted to set conditions.
"What do you want?"
Rias said this, and as the princess of the Gremory family, describing her as wealthy was an understatement.
"It's not about what I want, it's about what you can give me. I lack nothing right now. I have status, wealth, and women. Why would I give up my good life to be your servant?"
"Well..."
Now Rias couldn't find words to reply. After all, she was just a teenage girl.
At this moment, August firmly held the initiative in the conversation.
"To make me submit to you is simple. Just defeat me, and I'll acknowledge you as my master."
"Alright."
Hearing August say this, Rias breathed a sigh of relief.
In terms of strength, she was confident. In the Underworld, she was among the elite of her age. Facing a human with some talent, she felt she could easily capture him.
"Wait, I haven't finished yet. If you defeat me, I will submit to you. But if I win, what then?"
"What do you want?"
The topic came back, and August's gaze fell on Koneko at the side.
The target was clear, the mascot of the Kuoh Academy.
"Pervert!"
"Impossible, Koneko is my family. I can't possibly use her as a bet."
"If she's impossible, then what about you? If you win, I'll submit to you. If you lose, I won't ask for much. Just accompany me for one night."
As soon as these words were spoken, the entire club felt incredibly suppressed.
Rias, Akeno, Koneko, and Kiba all looked at August with murderous intent.
Especially Akeno, Koneko, and Kiba, they considered challenging or insulting their master in front of them as provocation.
Even Rias herself was incredibly angry. As a princess of a great family, she highly valued her chastity.
"Fine, I agree. But if I win, be prepared to be tormented for the rest of your life."
At this moment, Rias no longer had the idea of making August her peerage. She only wanted to make this man pay, to make him regret for the rest of his life.
"As you wish."
August waved his hand, completely indifferent to Rias's anger. After all, he couldn't possibly lose.
With Level 7 strength, equivalent to the highest-ranking devils in this world, combined with his own bestowed power and the enhanced strength of his Bankai, he was confident he could defeat her.
Hum~
In the next moment, a huge crimson magic circle appeared on the ground of the club.
As this was Rias's territory, it was only natural to have a well-engraved magic circle here.
The magic circle then began to activate. In an instant, everyone's figures disappeared from the original location.
In a remote mountainous area at the edge of Kuoh Town, a crimson magic circle appeared. Following that, August and the group appeared here.
"Wow, is this teleportation magic? It's quite an interesting ability."
August was surprised, this was much more convenient than using a teleportation scroll.
As for Rias and the others, they paid no attention to August's words.
"Here, you can let loose, there's no need to worry about being discovered."
"How considerate."
August also sensed around and found no other humans nearby. They were in a deep mountain, completely isolated from the world.
Watching Rias not far away, the magic power around her body had already started to activate.
Being able to become a high-ranking devil at this age, Rias's talent and strength were undoubtedly strong.
Akeno, dragging Koneko and Kiba, had already left the vicinity. As Rias's best friend and queen, she was well aware of Rias's power.
Inherited from her mother, the power of destruction was exceptionally formidable. Even if one got too close, they might be affected.
August also observed Rias, or rather, he was observing the power of destruction around her.
This was an innate talent inherited through bloodline, similar to the power of darkness of demon clan.
As a descendant of the great king Bael, Rias's brother, Sirzechs, had shone brightly in the previous war thanks to the power of destruction.
In the anime, as an offspring of the old satan with the Ophis snake, his demonic power had already approached the level of a Satan.
However, he was still instantly killed by Sirzechs, just one move, and it was a decisive kill, lasting only a few seconds.
