Chapter 65: Ritual IV
🕑 Added 2025-09-13 01:06:58 +0000 UTC[1st POV] [Valiana Lucifer]
Being a servant of Morgan Zagan was both an incredible, fantastic, amazing thing, and also insanely stressful. Especially when your damn master is knocked out in some ritual, while you’re handed the duty of keeping the security of the lands she runs.
I’ve never run security for what was basically a small country!
If I didn’t have Grayfia helping me, I’d be fucked right now, and not in the fun way with Morgan at my back. No, this was the annoying sort of fucked where I’ve got a nasty headache and the desire to go and pass out drunk.
How in Lucifer’s name does Morgan do this everyday?
I’ve got a stack of like 75 papers that need to be signed in the office waiting for me, I’ve got to fly around her territories, and I have to check up on all the wards in order to make sure that it was all safe and running properly.
The latter of which is what I am doing right now, flying above the lands that Morgan owned, which is a shit ton thanks to her taking over the Phenex territory and that other guys that I forgot the name of.
‘Glad I’m not the only one who forgot his name’ Albion’s voice echoed in my head. The damn dragon liked to go to sleep for days and then scare me. Thankfully I didn’t falter and fall out of the sky from being jump scared though.
“Satan I hate when you do that! And yeah, he’s some nobody anyways, so who gives a damn what his name was. The most important thing to know about him is that Morgan killed him and took his territory” I responded, as this was basically the truth.
He was a weakling but had a lot of land so that was the most important thing for Morgan.
‘How do you feel knowing that Morgan is out of the count of a week, partner?’ Albion asked me. This was the question that had been asked to most of the peerage by those we interact with that knew of what Morgan was doing. And it tended to be the same answer.
“Uncomfortable. Very very uncomfortable. Not having her around for so long is…weird. I know it’s only a week, but it feels…wrong, like I’m missing a vital part of myself” I responded, and this…was the truth.
As corny as it sounded, Morgan had become vital to me, more important than just about anything or anyone else in the entire world. And I couldn’t imagine myself without her. So for her to be gone for an entire week, doing a dangerous ritual that COULD potentially backfire…was terrifying.
It makes it even worse knowing that we cannot go anywhere near her, as otherwise we could potentially disrupt the ritual and almost guaranteed threaten her life and the progress of the ritual.
‘It’s only natural that you’d be uncomfortable without your mate, partner. Mates are the most important things to us dragons, and even to you, who only is part dragon, they still are’ Albion responded to me.
“Mate? That’s actually a thing? I thought you were just messing with me because I was still trying to get Morgan’s attention at the time, before we officially got together” I responded, wide eyed.
‘What, you thought I lied? I have no reason to lie about that sort of thing, Valiana. So yes, mates are absolutely a thing. And in your case, Morgan is your mate. Just like she is the mate of Issei, of Yasaka, and of most of her peerage at this point. Really, that girl is a mate magnet at this point’ Albion responded, sounding almost insulted.
“…I-I didn’t think that was actually a thing for us. Sure, I knew that Yasaka had marked Morgan as her mate, but I didn’t think it was a thing for Dragons too. Does that mean even someone like Ophis could have a mate?” I asked, as Albion went silent, probably because I name dropped the Dragon God of Infinity.
It happened when anyone name dropped her around Albion or Ddraig. They got really uncomfortable for some reason. But I’m assuming it’s a natural fear for the strongest of their kind.
‘…Yes, I suppose she could. But I can’t really see anyone having the means to become her mate. It’d only happen if she herself chose to get with someone weaker than her, as she sure as hell won’t ever see Great Red as her mate’ Albion responded as I snorted at the thought.
It was well known that she despised Great Red, thanks to Morgan spreading the info to the peerage, about the Khaos Brigade and the fact that it was made to kill Great Red by Ophis, but she was being manipulated by my prick grandfather.
Honestly I can’t wait to watch Morgan rip his heart out and crush it. Only for me to drain her dry later in return for killing the man that made my life a living hell. And if she didn’t kill him, I hoped she would at least help me kill the bastard.
‘Do you think the ritual will truly make her a super class being?’ Albion asked me out of the blue, causing me to pause.
“…I think that it will make her stronger than a super class being, if I’m going to be honest. I don’t think Morgan really realizes how strong she actually is, does she? Because I’m pretty damn certain that she is already in the Super Class level of power” I asked Albion, knowing that he would have knowledge on this sort of thing.
‘Yes, she is. She likely doesn’t even realize it, but she’s nearing the power of Ajuka Beelzebub, and is almost certainly stronger than that Rizevim brat. After she does this ritual of hers and ascends into a higher form of devil? I’m almost certain that she would be stronger than any other devil, and would likely be in the top 5 strongest in this world’ Albion responded, causing me to let out a chuckle.
“She never fails to underestimate herself, doesn’t she? Seriously, with all those impossible gears of her, she could probably beat the snot out of even someone like Hades. And she thinks she’s not Super Class?” I said, laughing as Morgan was smart, incredible, and easily one of the greatest geniuses in the world.
But Satan was she awful at understanding just how ridiculously powerful she actually was. She constantly underestimated herself, and overestimated others. Which was both a good thing and a bad thing.
‘It is both a boon and a curse for someone like her. But I have a feeling that she will realize the truth once she finishes the ritual. And considering the nature of the ritual and what she is using in it, I imagine she will be more than any normal devil at that point’
”What do you mean?”
’She is using the heart of myself and Ddraig, the heart of an ancient Phoenix that at it’s peak could rival a super class being, and the heart of Lucifer himself. I don’t think she realizes it, but she is going to gain far more than just some trait. She is going to ascend into something much stronger than a devil, and will almost certainly obtain more than just a singular trait’
“Explain”
’It’s simple. She will become a sort of fusion. She will obtain a “Domain” and power like myself and Ddraig and our Divide and Boost. From Lucifer she will almost certainly obtain his clan traits, and might even become an entity similar in nature to him, which would allow her to switch between demonic and angelic natures. And from the Phoenix, she will obtain the hottest flames in the world, and a form of immortality that will make her impossible to kill by anything, except for Ophis and Great Red themselves’ Albion responded, as my eyes widened.
“But-but how did the original phoenix die?”
’It angered Ophis-sama after it made fun of her form at the time. Otherwise? Not even I or Ddraig was able to get rid of its immortality. And those flames? Those are going to be absolutely monstrous in the hands of your mate, as they could burn even I, but because the Phoenix was only super class in power, it could not do more. But with a being that is growing as fast as Morgan? She’ll become more than you can possibly imagine’ Albion responded to me once again, as I could only laugh at the ridiculousness at this piece of information.
As finally, it really made one thing clear to me, and that is…
That Rizevim is fucking screwed.

That’s the end of the chapter!
There should be one or two more POV chapters and then Morgan shall return. More will be happening in those POV’s though. The next two chapters will likely be shorter thanks to this. Around 1.2k words.
Anyways, have a good day!
