Directly promoted to level 30?
Right... the minimum level for a fiend is 30.
I almost forgot about that.
A massive surge of pleasant surprise flooded my heart, even suppressing the other two impulses for a moment!
Without a doubt, this was the best news I had received since arriving in this world!
It was also my greatest trump card to date!
Instantly demonizing to level 30 meant that under these circumstances, even an average Brave Knight wouldn't be able to stop me!
But now I was curious about one thing: if I switched back, what would happen to my attribute points?
I looked down at myself. This demonization skill couldn't be deactivated manually, so it seemed I could only wait for the duration to end.
And this was only the junior level. I wondered what kind of miraculous effects would appear once it reached the senior level.
Would I be able to toggle it on and off freely?
If I could, it would be my best tool for catching people off guard!
Regardless, I had to add skill points first!!
I needed to ensure my strength in this demonized state!
However... right now, I really had no way to add skill points. All skill point increases required being in front of a statue.
Wait a minute!
There was a statue in my room.
I wondered if that statue could be used?
If I had to go to the statue in the Temple every time I wanted to learn a skill, it would be a huge hassle.
I glanced down at the armor on the floor. Even though there was no one else in the room, being naked like this still made me very uncomfortable.
I picked up the armor from the floor. Each piece felt light as a feather, but when my fingers touched them, they made the sound of clashing metal.
Clearly, while this armor was lightweight, it was incredibly sturdy!
I carefully put the armor back on, being mindful to avoid scratching myself.
The wound on my waist had already vanished. With the recovery power of a level 30 fiend, such a small wound only took a few breaths to completely heal.
Once fully dressed in the armor, the incredibly charming and beautiful girl appeared in the mirror once more.
However, there was a trace of wickedness about this beauty that made one's mind wander involuntarily.
Even I, looking at myself in the mirror, felt a surge of desire to ravage her from the bottom of my heart.
I shook my head, flinging that terrifying thought out of my mind.
Right!
I hadn't checked if my Sacred Treasures had changed too.
I took the Sword of Fidelity out of my storage space, but the sword in my hand had completely changed its appearance.
The blade was pitch black and had become a heavy sword. The blade was about ten centimeters wide, and the heavy surface was engraved with mysterious patterns that emitted a faint, eerie crimson glow.
The guard at the hilt was shaped like a crescent moon, and the width of the sword was consistent from tip to hilt.
It felt very balanced in my hand.
As I swung it, it even seemed to leave a trail in the air.
The Sword of Death.
Was this the name the Sword of Fidelity changed to along with my demonization?
I looked at the Moon Banner. The originally brilliant golden Moon Banner had turned a deep black. The edges were wrapped in red patterns, and a silver crescent moon appeared in the center.
The flagpole was covered in metallic barbs, but when my hand touched it, those barbs naturally retracted into the pole.
I picked up a teacup from the table and lightly touched it against a barb. The glass cup was instantly punctured with a hole.
Clearly, the Moon Banner had also transformed along with me.
It even gained a function to prevent others from touching it.
I couldn't imagine what would happen if someone other than me tried to hold the pole; their hand would probably be pierced into a honeycomb the moment they grabbed it!
Everything had changed!
Except for my body proportions and my face, almost everything else about me was different.
I went back into the bedroom, and right by the head of the bed, a statue of Sariel stood before me.
'As a Saintess, the angel watches over you even while you sleep.'
This was a line from the biographies of the Saintesses, but it made me feel like this Sariel was some kind of voyeur.
Watching even while I sleep?
Could this angel have some strange fantasies about women?
I shook my head, casting the odd thought aside, and knelt before the statue to recite the holy words.
What were originally sacred prayers now sounded eerie.
When the words left my mouth, they were still prayers, but what echoed in my ears sounded like demonic whispers—heavy, incomprehensible, and piercingly harsh.
The next second, the skill tree interface instantly overwhelmed my senses.
The piercing sensation vanished, and the interface that appeared was still the same skill tree.
Only the background image had been replaced by another version of me... my current form.
She wore an arrogant and confident smile, and the shimmering glint in her eyes made it hard to tell if it was temptation or a desire for slaughter.
This information interface was certainly cooperative.
I took a look, quickly assigned my skills, and exited the interface.
If I wasted too much time and suddenly reverted to my Saintess state, this skill interface would likely disappear and revert to the original one.
Currently, the interface showed no change in the layout. Every skill on the skill tree remained in its original position, but the skill descriptions and functions were completely different.
I assigned as many attribute and skill points as possible to the skills I needed.
In this demonized state, I was clearly more inclined toward melee combat, so I put almost everything into the melee branch.
As for attribute points, I put them all into the first three: Strength, Agility, and Endurance.
Instantly, the attribute interface changed!

Summary: Congratulations, player! You have finally fallen into demonhood. Isn't it fun?
The Holy-Demon Conversion skill was truly terrifying!
However, when the duration ended, my attribute points all reverted to their original state.
In other words, while the demonization skills and holy skills were opposites, they were not interchangeable.
I looked at my body and silently put my clothes back on.
I lay on the bed. The impulse from before was gone, replaced only by a sense of weakness.
This was the discomfort caused by the sudden disappearance of those powerful attributes.
But I never imagined that Holy-Demon Conversion could provide such a massive boost.
Even if I encountered a Brave Knight, I wouldn't be afraid in a one-on-one fight.
I just didn't know how to level up this Holy-Demon Conversion skill.
I returned to the head of the bed, took off my clothes, and lay down.
Of all the days I had been here, today was the happiest.
Because I finally... had the ability to protect myself!
This would make my future actions much smoother.
At the very least, with these powers, I no longer had to fear sudden life-threatening danger.
Though if that situation ever truly occurred, my only remaining choice would be to flee the Eight Nations of the Holy Church.
Otherwise, I would be sent to the burning stake, just like Cyrus today, burned alive before everyone's eyes.
But regardless of what the future held, at least today I could rest easy.
Time to sleep!
