Damn, I guess I am amazingly talented at Magic, all thanks to my awesome cheat [Supreme Magic]! I only had to die buried by books and filled with sorrow and regrets to get it… How easy!

“What’s the difference between [Stealth] and [Erase Presence]? Isn’t the latter a better version?” I asked.

“Not really. [Erase Presence] erases your presence, the presence you emanate naturally, such as bloodthirst, intimidation, and heroic will, but it doesn’t let you stealthily move around, nor does it let you become more proficient at hiding. I suppose both Skills are connected, and if you could get [Camouflage] as well, you could make a killer combination, but they are different enough to be different Skills.”

“So? Did my presence go away?” I asked.

“Indeed, the Abyssal Darkness within you that even made me a bit wary has almost completely disappeared. It was very strong.” Said Lucifer.

“O-Oh… Maybe Abyssal Body had to do with it….” I said.

“Abyssal Body? Wait, so you’re not a Darkness Ghost?” asked Lucifer.

“Haha… No… I am an Abyssal Ghost Queen!” I confessed.

“WHAT?! I have never… I thought incredibly powerful Necromancers could only summon those things… To think that a Ghost could naturally evolve into one…! You’re certainly quite a handful,” Lucifer says.

“Am I? Anyways, now that we are done here… Let’s just go,”

“How will you make him talk?”

“With intimidation!” I replied.

“Hmm… We’ll see how that goes,” Lucifer sighed.

“Hmm…”

“And what’s with that thing? Can’t it stop glaring at me like that?!” Lucifer shouted, pointing at Partner.

Partner was currently hugging my mildly materialized ghost body as I sat down on a log. She was glaring at Lucifer with squinting eyes, acting very jealous. But I couldn’t help but feel flattered by her overprotectiveness.

“Hehe, she really loves me! Isn’t it cute? I feel like a mother now….” I said.

“I-I think she sees you as more than just that….” Lucifer says.

“Come on, Partner, relax. Lucifer is your ally! Treat him more fairly, alright?”

“I don’t wanna!” Partner shouts while crossing her arms.

“Sweetie, why are you acting like this?” I sighed.

“I want… Master and Kuro only!”

“Eh? A-Am I that much of a nuisance?!” Lucifer cried out.

He was getting emotional.

“I want master… all for myself!” Partner says, pouting cutely.

“Aww…”

I hugged and petted her head.

“Don’t worry. I am all for you!” I said.

“Really?” She asked.

“Sure!”

“Then it’s ok,” Partner calms down a bit.

“I-I think you misunderstood what she meant….” Sighed Lucifer.

Anyways, after this little incident happened, Partner became more accepting of Lucifer. Maybe she wanted me to be only her mommy… She’s so cute… I don’t even see Lucifer as a “son” candidate, so she shouldn’t worry!

“Alright, you guys can stay here. I will summon you whenever I get to the place,” I said.

“Good luck,” Lucifer replies.

We waited for night to fall again the next day as Partner, Lucifer, and Kuro ate Hydra meat for lunch. I tried eating, but the meat fell to the ground after I munched it…

*Sigh*

I sneaked around with my new and amazing Skill, [Erase Presence]! I also merged it with [Stealth] and then [Shadow Sneak], so no one could detect me anymore!

Sneaky, sneaky…

I am here!

I knew it. The biggest building in the entire duchy was the Duke’s home… so obvious.

I sneaked inside the building and flew around, some lights were illuminating the room, and the entire place had mildly okay guards, but nothing a few Dark Spheres couldn’t handle… Well, I didn’t kill them any anyways as this was a stealth mission!

I looked for this little and big-nosed man around the building until I found him on the last floor, sitting in front of a giant desk stacked with paperwork.

He looked stressed.

“Ugh… So much paperwork….” He groaned.

Damn, he already looks like he’s getting punished well enough… Agh, at the very least, I need to know the full story. I confronted him as I provoked the light bulbs to burst.

BOOM!

I expanded my shadows into the entire room and created what I call a “shadow domain”. It was completely soundproof from the outside world, so it was a fitting title.

“EH?! W-What’s going on?!” Allen cried out in surprise.

“Hello there! Do you recognize this face?” I asked, materializing from the darkness into the shape of my “human” form, although I was still rather translucent and pale.

[Erase Presence] helped him not die out of horror.

“GRYYEEGH! G-G-GHOST!” Cried the man.

“Yeah, I am a ghost now. Do you remember this face, Duke? The Witch of Misfortune?” I asked.

“Eeeh?!”

Allen was breathing heavily; I think he might succumb to a seizure at any moment now. He opened his mouth wide as he realized who I was…

“M-Maria Fuentes Belles! T-The Dark Witch?! You’re back! N-No… It can’t be! Your soul has become a ghost?! And so powerful…! Such strength… it could even destroy the entire city!” Allen cried out with pure fear.

“Yeah, long story short, stuff happened. Anyways, I wanted to ask you a few little things… Come out, guys,”

I summoned my party just in case and placed them around me. Allen was also just as shocked, especially by Lucifer’s power.

“T-This… What is that?! A Majin?!” he asked.

“I am a Fallen Dragon, thank you very much,” Lucifer replied.

“Kill?” Partner asked.

“Not yet…”

I approached Allen as I touched his chin with the tip of my black nail.

“Now, you sly-faced bastard, tell me a few things… Why was I killed? And who was I? Tell me everything and I might consider forgiving your life! And even more… giving you a little gift,” I said.

“A-A little gift?!”

“Well, if you tell me honestly,”

“Y-Yes! I don’t know why you don’t remember your past, but… You were known as the Dark Witch. Wherever you went, you spread misfortune everywhere… Although most of it ended being plots made by aristocrats and enemies of your family… I-I myself ended colluding with them, and with their help, we apprehended you and used your death as a way to take ahold of the masses… I-I had no other option! If I didn’t cooperate, they would have targeted my family and me!”
