[237] Gacha? No, GACHA!
August's life was carefree, and now, in the Kuoh Academy, August was undoubtedly the winner of life.
Surrounded by women and endowed with charming looks, he was considered increasingly outstanding among the girls, especially after dealing with Riser. Kuoh had returned to tranquility, the first small boss had been dealt with, and there would be a stable period before the next boss appeared.
August became the Stray Devil Slayer in Kuoh, a role originally belonging to Rias and Sona, now fully taken over by August.
As a demon king of lust, August, if willing, could spread his imposing presence throughout Kuoh.
So, whenever he had time, August scanned Kuoh. Once he detected the stray devils, he immediately dealt with them. The reason for doing this? To complete missions and to draw gacha.
Although regular gacha draws were the most basic, over time, they added up.
Finally, after several days of hard work, August's normal gacha draws reached 20 times. This meant that during this period, August had dealt with over a dozen stray devils. As for the additional regular gacha draws, they were obtained from dealing with stray devils in the past.
In addition to these twenty regular gacha draws, August also had three advanced gacha draws, obtained after reaching satan-class.
However, at that time, he subconsciously set it aside to become satan-class level.
"Let's begin, give me the draws!"
With those words, the card draw wheel started spinning.

[Ding! Congratulations, host, you've obtained the item: Ushi Ushi no Mi, Model: Cow!]
.
.
[Ding! Congratulations, host, you've obtained the item: Kame Kame no Mi, Model: Turtle!]
.

[Ding! Congratulations, host, you've obtained the item: Hebi Hebi no Mi, Model: Python Snake!]
...
Twenty draws, only three yielded results, and all of them were devil fruits, all of the zoan type.
This luck is a bit peculiar, August thought subconsciously.
Ushi Ushi no Mi, Kame Kame no Mi, Hebi Hebi no Mi. Except for Ushi Ushi no mi making August slightly curious due to its name, the other two left August speechless because the weaknesses of devil fruits were troublesome, fear of seawater.
Including the Moa Moa no Mi obtained earlier, August now had a total of four devil fruits.
For these three devil fruits, August planned to give them to three fallen angels. Consuming zoan-type devil fruits was equivalent to obtaining the corresponding bloodline. This way, he might be able to create demon beasts.
Especially for the Usi Ushi no Mi, just the name alone made August have some bad associations.
On the table in front of August were three devil fruits with strange patterns quietly placed. August wondered if he could give them to Rias and the others if things didn't work out, after all, they weren't of much use.
One middle-class fallen angel and two low-class fallen angels, their strength was simply too weak.
However, August still had three advanced gacha draws.
Next, the second round of gacha draws began.
[Ding! Congratulations, host, you've obtained the system item: Fusion Card!]
[Ding! Congratulations, host, you've obtained the item: Murasaki's Mask!]
[Ding! Congratulations, host, you've obtained the mysterious item: Mysterious Seed!]
[Fusion Card: System item, can merge two items together, limited to items, ineffective against life or others.]
[Murasaki's Mask: The Oni Mask that imprisoned the spirit of the eponymous Oni General, Murasaki. Wearing the mask grants the ability to summon the Razor Khan one of the nine tribes of Shadowkhan, but the mask houses the spirit of the eponymous Oni General, Murasaki, gradually consuming the host's soul, attempting to possess and be reborn.]
[Mysterious Seed: Origin unknown, type unknown, abilities unknown.]
Looking at the results of this gacha draw, August couldn't help but smile, none of the three advanced gacha draws were wasted. This was already considered a big success.
As for the Fusion Card, August planned to check his inventory later, maybe he could merge something interesting.
The Murasaki's Mask surprised August a bit. This mask from the animation series accompanied August's childhood, and granted the ability to summon minions indefinitely.
As for the last mysterious seed, August was most interested in it.
Because what the system couldn't see through often turned out to be the most powerful. The earlier Dark Seed perfectly proved this point. August could become satan-class level entirely because of the Dark Seed.
Now, inside August's body was a sea of darkness, much like the dark area in Digimon. Excluding the sinful aura of lust, August could now absorb any power, whether it was the power from angels, devils, monsters, or divine power from gods.
Everything could be absorbed by August, in the sea of darkness, all would turn into dark nutrients.
Because August was no longer the vessel of original sin, but the original sin itself.
Taking these three items out, a card, a deep purple oni mask, and an unknown gray seed, August picked up the mask. As the favored child of darkness, August could clearly sense the dark power contained within the mask, as well as a soul.
Anyone who wore the mask would be gradually eroded by darkness. In the end, the soul would be devoured by Murasaki, and Murasaki would be reborn.
Without any nonsense, August directly summoned the dark power, covering the mask.
"Ah~!"
Soon, a wail came from the mask. However, this sound quickly disappeared, and the mask shattered directly, a black mist merging into August's body.
The Razor Khan, one of the Shadowkhan, was now under August's control.
