DxD: Building A Demon Clan From Scratch.-Chapter 101: Zodiac Theme ???
"Lightning Strike!"
Utaha opened the Devil Tome, and a cascade of azure lightning fell from the sky, crashing down onto Scorpio's black carapace!
Crackling!!
The black armor instantly turned red-hot from the extreme temperature!
Then, it was pierced clean through!
A rush of purple blood gushed out, splattering across the ground!
But the moment the tender red flesh was exposed, it began regenerating at a rapid pace, covering over the black carapace again.
Utaha's expression froze, and she muttered in frustration, "Completely ineffective…"
"This type of creature… even iron weapons can't suppress its regeneration speed."
Saeko pulled out the varanium sword she had embedded in Scorpio.
In less than a second, the wound had already healed completely.
Even someone like Saeko had no real countermeasure against such regeneration.
Fortunately.
They were only here to gain experience.
Lynn was still the main force.
So—
What followed was Saeko and the rest, who had been promoted to mid-class devils, unleashing all of their skills on Scorpio.
It wasn't until they were nearly drained of strength that Lynn pulled them out.
Huff… huff…
The girls panted heavily, tended to by Yuuko and the others.
Utaha, still catching her breath, said, "It consumed so much energy. And it's such a massive creature… we should earn a lot of experience, right?"
Kisara suddenly chimed in, "Is it possible to directly upgrade to a high-class devil?"
Utaha rolled her eyes at her.
You just became a mid-class devil a few days ago, and now you are already dreaming about high-class?
Saeko thought about it for a moment and said, "Since we weren't the main attackers, we shouldn't expect too much."
"But…"
Thinking back on the slaughter she had taken part in earlier, Saeko subconsciously licked her lips and smiled.
"We did kill a lot of Stage IV Gastrea. That should still result in a decent improvement."
Hearing that.
Utaha responded with a complicated expression, "Saeko, you'll be fine. You might even be ready to level up."
After all, before the last crusade, Saeko's stats were already close to the threshold.
And now?
Utaha bit her lip slightly, feeling a bit unwilling.
Saeko smiled without saying anything.
Her goal was to become Lynn's sharpest blade.
There was no time to waste.
In her daily life, if Lynn didn't give orders, she would continue to hunt and kill.
---
Lynn narrowed his eyes.
Zodiac?
Scorpio?
What the hell is this?
A Stage V Apoptosis creature got stuffed in?!
Suddenly, the [Evil Piece] flickered.
Unable to resist, Lynn tapped it, only for a startled voice to ring out.
"Master, that hurt~!"
Lynn: "????"
Confused, he watched as a petite and slender figure emerged from the vast starry void.
As the image solidified, Lynn could make out her appearance.
Her tail was a gradient of deep night-black fading to violet, with a wisp of wine-red hair at the crown of her head.
Her hairstyle was an asymmetrical double spiral ponytail, with the right side tied in a barbed gothic ribbon.
Her eyes shimmered like liquid amber, and within her pupils were scorpion-tail-shaped patterns.
Lynn blinked. "Are you… Scorpio?"
"Yes~, Master."
Her voice was sweet as she blinked and gazed up at Lynn.
Lynn: "…"
No way. Did the system really just give him a zodiac-themed companion?
"Y-You…"
"Stella O'Brien~"
"Master can just call me Stella."
Lynn rubbed his temples. "So, what's the situation right now?"
With a playful tone and a finger to her lips, Stella replied,
"Hmm~ Master just signed a contract with me~"
"Contract?"
Lynn was even more confused.
But after listening to her explanation, he looked at her speechlessly.
It was basically the same as the contract system used in his Peerage.
"So, what abilities do you have now?"
Stella thought for a moment, then smiled. "For now… I can summon a phantom of Scorpio?"
Lynn: "…That sounds useless."
Summon a phantom to hit people?
Stella pouted. "It'll be different once my sisters arrive!"
Lynn's mouth twitched. "…You expect me to collect the rest of the zodiac too?"
Stella blinked. "Master doesn't want to?"
Lynn paused.
Well, he did want to.
Mainly because of his collecting obsession.
The skill clearly listed the zodiac… and right now there was only Scorpio?
It made him feel unbearably itchy. His OCD was acting up hard!
Stella giggled and said, "Master, Master~ I have another function~"
Under Lynn's curious gaze.
Stella turned into a rainbow beam and floated high into the starry sky.
Lynn was stunned for a moment, then rubbed his chin and muttered with a strange look: "So… there'll be a Scorpio in this starry sky from now on?"
He turned to glance at the other empty spots.

Gemini, Virgo, Aquarius…
It really was empty…
Also…
Wasn't there a missing sun?
So…
Where would the sun go?
