DxD│A Devil with Three Essences

│1st Person POV of Meliodas│

[Underworld Realm, New Lilith, Lucifer's Castle…]

Eventually, Sirzechs spoke up, breaking the silence, "So, what does it actually do?"

Without stopping my actions, I explained the functions of the Sigill one by one.

Absorbing ambient energy passively and using it to improve various aspects of the bearer of the sigils.

Enabling thought communication between the marked being.

Using the sigils connection between each other to teleport even without knowing the coordinates or the location beforehand.

Marking others, giving them access to weaker versions of the mark. Though this can only be done if the one with the highest authority, that is I, allows it.

The Satans, except Ajuka, weren't any less shocked than my Parents had been when they learned about this sigil.

Once I finished my explanation, I looked at Sirzechs and said, "I am sure this will be an immense help to Morgiana too.

"I will give her a modified version that only minimally enhances her Demonic Power in exchange for an increase in the rate of physical attributes enhancement."

As he comprehended the meaning behind my words, a wide smile emerged on his face.

The next second, he bowed toward me slightly, saying, "I can't express how happy I am to hear this, Meliodas. Please accept my bow of gratitude."

"It's fine. It is my duty to help her out in any way I can as her future partner."

Sirzechs nodded at my words before strengthening up.

"I take it that this sigil is also responsible for Markus' and a few of his peerage members becoming stronger within the last few months." Uncle Falbi remarked, prompting me to nod in response.

Serafall also chimed in, "Hmm… Melio-tan's Mother and her Peerage members also seemed stronger than before.

"Most of them felt like they were on the cusp of reaching Ultimate Class."

She was right, of course.

I have even detected some changes in the Evil Pieces of all the Peerage members of my parents. Maybe they will become Mutation Pieces given enough time.

I don't yet know enough about the Evil Pieces because I have yet to analyze them. And I don't think I will need to.

Suddenly, I saw Ajuka frowning his eyebrows. 'Looks like he is finally getting annoyed for not being able to deeply examine my sigil.'

A few moments later, Ajuka dispelled the magic circle above his right hand.

"Your security measures are impressive. I was only able to analyze the things you wanted me to. Anyway, you can stop now. You have given enough proof to verify your claims." He said.

I nodded and stopped channeling my Demonic Power into his magic circle. Retracting my hand, I walked back toward Serafall, who once again picked me up before placing me on her lap.

"Sirzechs, the wards on your castle can now operate at 100% of their normal capacity for three weeks without being recharged."

Ajuka informed the red-haired Satan, earning a look of shock from the latter.

The wards recharge by siphoning a small portion of Demonic Power from Sirzechs and the castle employees every minute during their working hours.

"It is incredible that Meliodas was able to channel Demonic Power equivalent to three weeks worth of Demonic Power extracted from me and my employees in just a few minutes."

Sirzechs mumbled in a low voice although everyone heard him.

"Anyway, is there something else you would like to say, Meliodas?" Shaking his head, Sirzechs decided to move on as he asked me.

I nodded, "I have one spell I would like to sell to all of you. I am sure it is something all of you would want to have."

I paused for a moment, taking in their interested expression before continuing, "I have created a spell that creates a clone of yourself. Its name is Demonic Shadow Clone Technique."

As they heard the specifications of the technique, all of them had an eager look on their faces.

"Name your price, Meliodas. I am willing to pay whatever price you say." Sirzechs announced. I am sure he was thinking of using the clones to do paperwork.

The other three were also very interested in the technique. I can feel Serafall's grip tightening around me in excitement.

"Well, I can give the spell to you guys, in exchange, I want a special piece of information from Ajuka."

Everyone looked at Ajuka. He wasn't perturbed in the slightest as he gestured to me to continue.

"I want to know everything about Mutation Pieces." I stated my price.

Right now, I had no interest in figuring out the secrets of the Evil Pieces.

So, I will take the information about Mutation Pieces in exchange for my spell now and when I get my own Evil Pieces in about 2 years, I will take a look at them then.

"Alright. I will send you information after the meeting." Ajuka didn't even hesitate to agree.

Nodding my head, I summoned three clones of the demonic variant with a flash of my golden-yellow magic circle.

During the last year, I have optimized the spell so that it doesn't take a precious few seconds to create the clones.

My clones then walked towards the three male Satans.

Understanding the situation, all the Satans summoned their own magic circle.

Then, I and my clones invoked our magic circle before placing them on top of the magic circles of the Satans.

This method of sharing your spells with others isn't something everybody can do. Well, they can, however, this method isn't feasible for everyone.

Devil Magic is based on imagination, desire, and power and our spells also take in these factors when we invoke them.

Every Devil is different from another, so even if two Devils use the same spell, the way they invoke them is very different from each other.

What I am doing right now is giving them the matrix of the Demonic Shadow Clone Technique.

They would now have to tweak the matrix so that they can use it without the magic circle exploding in their faces.

The magic exploding in case of spells not tweaked to better suit the caster is the reason this method of sharing spells isn't feasible.

And to tweak the spell matrix, you would have to cast them first, and in the process of casting, you would have to identify the parts not compatible with you and change them.

This isn't something anyone without a vast amount of experience can do.

All the Satans are very capable magic casters. They won't have any problems with tweaking the spell matrix to better suit them.

Even in the case of explosions, they are capable of protecting themselves.

The same couldn't be said for other Devils, however.

As expected, a few minutes after sharing the matrix of my clone technique, they were able to summon clones of their own.

"With this, I won't have to spend hours doing paperwork everyday. Muhahahaha!!"

Sirzechs laughed out loud after a few moments of testing the clones' effectiveness. Serafall also joined him in the next second.

"You are a magical girl, Sera-nee-chan! You shouldn't laugh like a villain." I couldn't help but say.

Both of them stopped at that, with Sirzechs coughing into his hands and pretending as though nothing had happened.

Serafall pouted at me, saying, "You are poking fun at me, are you? When did you become mean, Melio-tan?"

"There, there. I will stop making fun of you for now, alright?"

"What do you mean by 'for now'?"

I ignored the question.

"Was that everything for today? I want to sleep now." I heard Uncle Falbi ask.

"I don't have anything else to say." I responded when everyone turned to look at me.

The next moment, Sirzechs clapped his hands and, with his signature smile, announced, "That concludes today's meeting. I hereby declare the Bi-Annual Four Satans Meeting to be over."

Huh…? What?

"Wait a moment. What do you mean by the meeting is over? You guys didn't even discuss anything between yourselves. Almost all the talking was done by me."

The four of them looked at each other after hearing my exclamation before chuckling lightly. Even Ajuka and Uncle Falbi let out small smiles.

"Well, the Bi-Annual Four Satans Meeting is just an excuse for us to hang out together without much scrutiny. We already keep each other updated on any important news through communication magic.

"If there isn't anything that would require our explicit attention, we use this meeting to just relax and talk about inane things." Sirzechs answered me.

The other three nodded in agreement, making me blink in surprise before I just shrugged and put the issue behind me.

Then, Serafall stood up with me in her arms as she remarked, "We will take our leave. I promised to give Melio-tan a tour of the city. This is his first time here after all."

Ajuka and Uncle Flabi gave her a nod of goodbye while Sirzechs responded with, "Have fun Sera. See you soon, Meliodas."

"Have a good day, Father-in-law, Satan Beelzebub, Uncle Falbi."

I signaled Serafall to set me down and she did so without any complaint.

Then, just as I was about to cover myself with an array of concealment spells for exiting the conference room without being detected, I remembered something.

I said while looking at Ajuka, "You have not yet given me a date to visit the library of your Technological Department."

Approximately a year ago, I gave the Lightning Armor spell to Serafall.

In exchange, all Serafall had to do was to give the spell to Ajuka and secure a visit to his department's library for me.

Although Ajuka agreed to the deal, he had said that his department was busy with an important project and they couldn't spare any personnel to guide me.

So, Ajuka said that I would have to wait for their project to be completed before he would arrange a date for me to visit.

A year had passed since then and I heard no update from him.

"With your clone technique, the project would be completed much faster. You will get to visit soon enough." Ajuka responded.

I accepted his answer and then cast a number of concealment spells on myself before Serafall and I exited the conference room.

Once Serafall reached my clone and Masako outside, my clone and I swapped places in the same way we did before the meeting.

Immediately following the swap, I dispelled the clone as Serafall took my hand, and the three of us left the castle.

Then, we spent the next few hours visiting various parts of New Lilith.

Heh! Having one of the Satans serve as a tour guide is certainly something to boast about.
