70.

After organizing my thoughts, I immediately opened a portal back home. When I reached the house, I was greeted by Hilda and Saeko. I was approached by Saeko because her sword arts was stuck and she can't seem to advance and asked me for a spar.

I agreed and we headed down the basement for a spar. I suppressed my skills to the same level as hers. I picked up two wooden swords and tossed one to Saeko who immediately rushed to me opening with am overhead strike to which I blocked with ease.

I then tried to attack her with a stab but she sidestepped it and followed with a downward slice. Contrary to her expectations, I stepped forward with my shoulders sandwiched within her chest which is developing nicely and turning the battle from mid-range to close-range.

I then countered her with my own downward slice and she doesn't have a way to block or dodge because she is still in the motion of a retracting her blade from a failed attack. Hilda thought that Saeko was done but she used the retracting motion to spin and with the help of the centrifugal force, her next attack will be more powerful and faster.

If I continue with my attack, I would be overpowered by her attack and my wooden sword would be destroyed. I stopped my downward slice and turned it to a fight to speed and changed it to a stab.

If her spinning strike arrived first, then she wins, but unfortunately for her the aim of my stab is not her vital parts, but her arm holding the sword. When I stabbed her there, her arm turned numb and dropped the sword. She raised her hand in defeat and a sigh.

"I lost." Saeko said

"I see that you've trained hard. One more time. This time use the curse of the sword." I encouraged Saeko who lost and her eyes regained the fire of determination.

She picked up her Murasame from the weapon rack and slashed herself as tattoos started appearing in her body and the whites of her eyes turned gray and her pupils turned blood red. When the marks stopped spreading, she turned to me and with quick speed, she sent a upward slash coming from down below. I'm not startled about it as I calmly placed my self-created force edge in the way of the slash and a loud sound of metals clashing were sounding.

Saeko with her speed sent barrage and waves of sword strikes to which I just blocked with force edge. She tried to use my blindspots to try and hit me just once but I already knows what she wants to do and summoned Muramasa and deflected the attacks by dual wielding.

Saeko knowing that her time is running out, finally increased her speed to the maximum speed where even her bones are cracking because of the burden. She then rushed to me with her fastest speed and sent a single thrust to me, but I've already seen it. The one trying to thrust to me was just an after image. The real attack was from the top stabbing me by the back. I turned my head to her and dodged the attack with DS arts as I smoothly transitioned like a shadow and evaded her attack to her astonishment. Saeko knew that she already lost.

Her time limit is up and her legs can't take a step anymore. I rushed to her side and caught her before her legs gave up. I then used my demonic power to heal her body. Once I healed her, I noticed that her eyes contained sadness and anger, not to me but to herself and she gathered her courage to ask me.

"Vergil, why am I weak? I didn't even get to hit you once. Is this the limit for me?" She asked with a sad tone.

"You are already strong. I can guarantee it. Its just that, I'm a cheat. That's all." I said to Saeko who smiled at my praise.

"Then is there anymore way for me to get strong?" She asked me once more as I pondered if I should use it now.

"I do have a way to make you stronger, but are you ready to give up half of your humanity for it?" I asked her back with seriousness in my vvoice Saeko pondered about the cons and pros of it and finally nodded.

"I don't want to be a burden to you by being the weakest link in the family." She said with determination as I summoned the tarot card deck. I then grabbed the Star Arcana in the deck, I pointed it to her and the card slowly floated in front of her and was absorbed by her chest.

Saeko felt a slight pain from the fusion as the card changes her bloodline to a hybrid, and a violet masquerade mask appeared on her face

Meanwhile, Saeko has been hearing things in her head.

'So you're a human deemed worthy by the master. You seek power correct? Very well. Lets form a contract.'

I am thou... Thou art I... Thou shall be the wings that will help you to fly and reach the heights humans never touched!

She removed the mask and blood splattered into the ground, and I knowing what is going to happen immediately formed a massive dome of demonic power barrier to contain the pressure that she is going to emit.

After Saeko removed the mask, a massive amount of pressure erupted with her at the center, Hilda is surprised because of the pressure she emitted. Soon the pressure dissipated, a half-man, half-eagle appeared on top of her before dissipating as she turned into a low-class reincarnated demon and Saeko inspected the changes in her body, what she felt is immense power. Pure unadulterated power.

She also noticed that her body is very excited and she acted on impulse as she jumped to me and kissed me on my lips and saying 'thank you' while tears were flowing in her eyes. Hilda was jealous of Saeko but was happy that she finally gained the courage and made the final step.

After Saeko's excitement died down, she finally realized what she had done. It didn't register on her mind as she was too excited of the prospect of finally not being a burden and she immediately blushed so hard but I patted her head not to worry about it. She looks like an adult already because of her abnormal sizes. Abnormal height, Abnormal chest and Abnormal THIGHS.

Brushing everything off, I asked her of the changes to her body.

"I can feel that my body got stronger massively." Saeko said and I asked her if ahe could summon her trigger once more but she failed and was sad once more and I consoled her that the better she have control on the demonic power inside her body, the more power she could unleash upon her enemies. I then guided her the basics of controlling it. She really is a genius as I've only taught her for an hour and she can use her trigger although just for a few seconds only.

Still it was good and we wrapped up our training right there as it is already late at night and went to sleep with Soi Fon in my arms. We are already sleeping together but no naughty things.

FBI will be outside our manor the next morning if we do so.
