DxD: Building A Demon Clan From Scratch. Chapter 4: Go get ‘em, Utaha!

Archivist Devil?

Lynn's eyes lit up, it seed like a special type of devil.

And the mont Utaha beca part of his Peerage, his physical fitness and magic power experienced a significant boost.

It felt as if he had hit a critical threshold, and now, he had smoothly advanced to the level of a High-Class Devil.

As the transformation on Utaha's side was still ongoing, Lynn opened his status panel.

[Lynn Valefor]

Lynn confird his rank before shifting his focus to the newly acquired Archivist Devil skill.

[Archivist Devil]

"This skill seems to have serious potential."

Lynn carefully examined the ability description and imdiately recognized its imnse value.

On the other side, Utaha's reincarnation ritual had just concluded. She stared blankly at a floating book in front of her.

The to was jet-black, possessing an iron-like texture and appearing quite thick.

"The Devil To."

Lynn responded casually.

"Devil To?"

"Hold on a second."

Lynn took the to from her hands.

As the master of Utaha and the one possessing the Archivist Devil skill, her Devil To was linked to his own.

Opening a blank page, he took a pen from his pocket, stared at Utaha's chest for a mont, then lowered his head and started writing.

Utaha's cheeks flushed as she suddenly rembered, she was still in the middle of adjusting her clothing from the transformation!

Hurriedly fixing her attire, she glanced around in mild panic. When she confird that no one else was present, she exhaled in relief.

As for Lynn?

Well, he probably wasn't human anyway.

At this point, what hadn't he already seen?

Utaha muttered internally.

"Alright, done."

Lynn finished writing and handed the Devil To back to her.

Utaha took it curiously and flipped it open.

Staring at her own stats, Utaha's voice carried a complicated emotion.

"So, I'm not human anymore?"

"Congratulations, the procedure was a success."

Utaha shot a glare at her master for his sarcastic remark before sighing helplessly.

What could she do now?

At the very least… it didn't feel bad.

She wasn't disfigured, nor did she end up with a grotesque appearance like the female devil she had seen before.

And more importantly—

Clenching her fist, she could feel power coursing through her body.

This Devil To…

A supernatural ability that only existed in fiction!

The benefits were undeniable, and she quickly ca to terms with her new existence, perhaps even looking forward to testing her abilities.

But first…

"What do the i0 values next to my Strength and Agility an?"

Lynn explained, "Those are your stat values."

While slightly different from the Falna system in DanMachi, the fundantal logic was similar.

The stat values were ranked from i to S, with each rank divided into incrents of 0–99, 100–199, and so on. The S-rank ranged from 900–999.

Beyond S-rank, there existed SS-rank and SSS-rank, which broke standard limitations.

Lynn's upgrade system was akin to this, with a few differences, like the lack of a magic skill slot or developntal abilities.

After a brief explanation, Utaha nodded in understanding.

She knew what that ant.

To level up—she had to kill monsters.

"So, where do we go to grind EXP first?"

Her eyes flickered with anticipation.

Supernatural power!

Who could resist the temptation?

She was ready, find a monster and start hunting!

"Hmm… maybe over there?"

Lynn pointed toward the alleyway in the distance.

The magic surge from earlier had completely evaporated the Cursed Spirits lurking in the shadows.

However, such dark places were always pri real estate for malevolent spirits.

Now, with the original inhabitants gone, the alley had beco a free-for-all for wandering Cursed Spirits.

Utaha followed his gaze, and her face imdiately twitched.

"What the hell are those?!"

She stared at the grotesque creatures, so with elongated tongues dragging on the ground—and felt an involuntary shiver run down her spine.

"They're ghosts, right?! Those are ghosts!"

Lynn corrected her, "To be precise, they're called Cursed Spirits."

"Cursed Spirits?!"

They were ghosts!

Without hesitation, Utaha took a step back and instantly hid behind Lynn.

"..."

Lynn sighed.

"Didn't you want to level up?"

Grabbing her by the wrist, he pulled her out from behind him.

"I-I'm not ready yet!"

"Can you see them?"

"Yes!"

"Then that ans they can see you too."

Utaha stiffened.

At that mont, the spirits turned their attention to her, their eerie, twisted smiles growing wider.

"Ah—yeah, they definitely see you now."

Lynn struggled to pry his arm free from Utaha's tight grip, giving her an encouraging smile before rcilessly pushing her forward.

"Go get 'em, Utaha!"
