While Netherius was distracted by Vesnia and the Jade Dragons, the androids heard Trinity's report and instantly made their way towards the necromancer's estate.
Thanks to the restoration of their signal, every ally of the Jade Dragons was on the sa page, and as the androids took the responsibility of saving Camille, Dante and Asphodel chased Netherius.
When Sami and Lexia arrived at the mansion with dozens of androids following their commands, they were t with a few undead monstrosities made of stitched-up corpses, but the cyborgs were able to easily deal with them.
The necromancer had underestimated the strength of the cyborgs, so he believed that a couple of Death Knights would be enough to deal with them.
Nonetheless, he didn't take into account the fact that Sami's soul had the fra of a demon king, so her magical power reserves were much greater than a Death Knight's.
By the ti the two cyborgs blew up the mansion's front door and stepped inside, Camille was montarily startled by the noise, instantly calming down when she saw Sami and Lexia.
"You girls are here! Then, that ans Vesnia managed to destroy the jamr!" Camille comnted.
"Miss Camille, stand aside…" Sami replied, glaring at the two undead servants near the woman and pointing her open palm at them.
When Sami's arm began to produce a whirling noise as if she was charging an attack, the handler raised her arms and stood between them, asking the cyborg to calm down.
"These two helped a lot. I can't repay them with a second death," Camille said, prompting Sami to lower her arm.
"I understand. What should we do, then?" Sami replied with another question.
Even if Camille asked the two undead servants to go with her, they would still be connected to Netherius, which would not only put her in danger of being found, but it would also out the servants as betrayers to the necromancer.
"Uhh, I'm coming up with sothing, hold up…" Camille said, using every cell of her brain to try to co up with a solution.
"Ah, soone beat here…" A soft, captivating voice could be heard in the room.
As the cyborgs turned around, they spotted the Sacred Beast, Ira, who had just arrived at Netherius' mansion to save Camille after hearing the report on her earpiece.
"Ira…? Weren't you looking for that Wolfram wizard guy?" The handler pondered aloud, and as if it were his cue, the wizard revealed himself standing behind the fox-woman.
"Umm…" Sami humd with confusion while Lexia prepared herself to fight the wizard.
"We have a brief truce… I'll explain later. Why are you all still here?" Ira asked, explaining that they should have taken Camille to safety as soon as they found her.
However, the handler told Ira about her predicant of wanting to save the two undead servants.
"I know it may sound ridiculous to soone like you, but I have my own code, and I can't abandon soone who risked their lives to help … Even if they are not truly alive," Camille explained.
Considering that Ira was a Sacred Beast who had lived for hundreds of years, Camille thought that the notion of saving two random undead servants would sound absurd.
Nevertheless, Ira nodded and glanced at Wolfram. "This might work for us," she said, making the wizard take out his large, shimring diamond from his pocket.
The handler raised one eyebrow and wondered how a precious stone could be of any help, and Ira explained that it was a 'magic conversion stone,' which allowed them to convert their magic into necrotic energy.
Normally, trying to control a type of magic that the user's body wasn't attuned with could result in critical damage to their bodies, just like it happened to Dante when he moved Lexia's soul into the android.
However, with the stone, they could safely convert their magic without any side-effects.
"You said you wanted to save those two, correct? This might be the only way to do so…" Ira elaborated.
Camille turned to look at the servants as if asking for their consent, and while their faces had no expressions, she could sense their approval.
"Alright, let's try it…" The handler said with a bit more confidence.
Lexia asked two of the androids to step closer to the servants. One of the androids was a similar model to Lexia's, though it was slightly outdated since the cyborg had upgraded her body before the battle at the necropolis.
The second android was a male model, and while they were usually built much bigger than the female counterparts, this one in particular was about the sa height as Dante.
As Ira stood behind the undead girl, she clasped the stone tightly with one hand and softly pinched her shoulder—and as she retracted her hand, a blue, slightly translucent veil was pulled out of the undead.
Camille's eyes widened at the sight. Seeing real magic was always incredible, but grabbing onto soone's soul looked strangely beautiful to her.
When Ira held the veil atop the female android's body and dropped it on its head, both the servant's body and the android flopped to the ground, utterly unconscious.
"Hey, stay with !" Camille shouted, grabbing the undead woman's face and giving her a few gentle slaps to see if she would wake up.
"Huh…?" The female android interrupted the handler.
"Is… this my new body?" she asked herself, inspecting her hands with curiosity.
"Hah… Hahaha, it worked!" Camille exclaid with a smile on her face.
Knowing that the magic conversion stone was working, Ira did the sa to the male servant and transferred his soul into the male android.
"Alright, now you can give your nas," the handler said, feeling proud that she could keep her promise.
"I'm Jenna…" The new female android said with uncertainty in her voice.
"And I'm Rey…" The male android continued, also unsure of his own answer.
"Great. Then, Jenna, Rey, would you like to co with ?" Camille asked with a beaming smile, which would have been hard for anyone to say no to.
