As I stood there, wearing the amulet Bellazibub had given me, I could feel my body shifting and changing. My muscles throbbed as they contorted into a new shape, and the sensation was both unnerving and fascinating at the same time. A tingling warmth washed over my skin as it rippled and reformed, taking on a deep red hue. My hair, once short and messy, grew longer and thicker, settling down to the middle of my back.
My facial features softened, becoming more feminine while retaining an edge of demonic fierceness. Two curved horns emerged from my forehead, black and glossy - a striking contrast to my crimson skin. My eyes shifted color to match my new surroundings, glowing with an eerie amber light.
Looking down at my body, I realized that my chest had also transformed. My once-flat chest had swelled into an ample bosom, and the sensation of their weight was both strange and surprisingly alluring. I couldn't help but steal a glance at my new cleavage, feeling a mixture of bemusement and curiosity.
The rest of my body had undergone a similar transformation - toned and curvaceous with muscles in all the right places, giving me the perfect balance between strength and sensuality. A slender tail tipped with a spade-like end sprouted from just above my lower back, flicking back and forth as if it had a mind of its own.
I felt a mischievous grin spread across my face as I studied my new form in the mirror Bellazibub provided for me to check my appearance. "Well," I said, marveling at the sultry feminine voice that now belonged to me, "this is certainly a change of pace."
Unable to resist, I began experimenting with my new body, stretching, posing, and even taking a moment to tentatively grope my own breasts. The sensation was completely foreign, and I found myself getting slightly carried away, enamored with this unfamiliar form.
A throat-clearing sound interrupted my reverie, and I looked up to see Bellazibub rolling her multiple eyes at me. "Ahem," she said, clearly exasperated by my antics, "You do remember what I said about not drawing attention to yourself, right?"
Embarrassed, I snapped out of my indulgence and nodded sheepishly. "Right, right. I'll be more careful." With a final look at my reflection, I steeled myself for the task ahead and ventured into the bustling Harbingers Market Layer, ready to gather information while maintaining my cover as an ordinary demon.
As I made my way through the crowded market, I listened intently to conversations happening around me. Demons bartered for goods, complained about the Black King's rule, and gossiped about a mysterious hidden threat that seemed to have everyone on edge. From what I could gather, this unknown danger had the potential to disrupt the balance within the Underworld, and it was clear that tensions were running high among its inhabitants.
Determined to learn more about this looming menace, I resolved to keep my ears open and continue gathering information while navigating the chaotic market. As I did so, I couldn't help but be grateful for Bellazibub's amulet - not only did it allow me to blend in with ease, but it also made me appreciate the incredible power that came with having multiple forms at my disposal.
I also was really curious to know what the area between my legs felt like, considering, you know, women could fire orgasms off like a Tommy gun! Though something told me that I might get a bit too distracted, it was really hard to not be curious!
With each passing moment, I grew more accustomed to my new form and began to walk with newfound confidence. However, as tempting as it was to explore this body further, I knew that now wasn't the time for it - I had a mission to focus on.
My attention turned back to the conversations around me, listening intently for any clues or information regarding the hidden threat to the Underworld. As I continued to listen and observe, I made mental notes of potential leads to follow up on later.
Throughout my investigations, I found myself marveling at the myriad of unique creatures and items available in the Harbingers Market Layer. Demons hawked all sorts of strange artifacts and enchanted objects, some shining with an ominous glow or pulsating with dark power. It was clear that those who thrived here had access to dangerous resources, making my mission all the more precarious.
As I continued to gather intel, I couldn't help but wonder if there were others like me - hiding in plain sight under magical disguises for their own purposes. Were the other Zodiacs watching me from the shadows? Would Leo be back, and what of the others?
I tried not to let it distract me, but they were all my friends, even if they were not like they once were. The Zodiacs were my Royal Guards, but they each were important to me. Knowing that Kadeon was just using them to get at me was extremely frustrating, but that is what he wanted. I would not give him anything that he wanted!
With renewed determination, I pressed on, refusing to let Kadeon's manipulation of my friends sway me from my purpose. As the day wore on, I managed to collect a few promising leads that might help me better understand the hidden threat lurking in the Underworld.
As the sun began setting, casting eerie shadows across the chaotic market, I decided it was time to regroup and plan my next move. Making my way back to a meeting point Bellazibub had arranged earlier, I mentally prepared myself for the challenges ahead.
Once there, I looked around for her, but she wasn't there. I looked around the area, but the door I was supposed to open was looked. Even if I forced it open, Bellazibub needed to have the portal open.
"Galio?"
I froze, and ice ran down my veins as I immediately recognized the voice. Slowly, I turned my head to see an extremely beautiful demon woman, but I would never forget a voice that screamed my name so many times.
"What are you doing here, Virgo?" I asked, not sure what to do. I had not expected to see her of all, but she was being controlled by Kadeon.n0Velusb.c0m
She smiled sadly at me, and panic set over me as time started to slow and her lips started to move. Even before the three words came out, I knew I was fucked.
"I love you."
