《Obey Me! I am the Master!》CHAPTER 15.5 - PACT MARKS
Advertisement
General info on Minoru's pact marks:
1. Pact marks look like tattoos on the skin. However, when Minoru touches them with care, the brothers become extremely happy, although some of them keep composure if they are in public (Ex: Lucifer)
2. All pact marks are black in color, with the exception of the pact mark with Mammon.
3. The pact marks are always visible to Minoru and the brothers, although the brothers can hide them from the eyes of normal people and lesser demons. People with high spiritual power can still see the pact marks, despite the invisibility spell.
4. All pacts bring benefits and downsizes. The downsizes involve the respective sins of the brothers. The practice of Seven Virtues can lessen the effect of the downsizes.
Ex: practice of Humility can lessen the prideful thoughts and behaviors brought by the pact with Lucifer.
5. When Minoru calls upon or summon the brothers, the marks emanate light in respective sins' colors. However, if the situation is dire and the brothers have to use more of their powers, the marks emanate fire in respective sins' colors, instead of light. The fire doesn't burn or harm Minoru but makes his skin a little bit red. However, the fire does burn anyone else who dares to touch the marks.
Ex: Pact mark with Lucifer emanate blue light and blue fire.
6. If anyone dares to stare too long at the "tattoos", they will see the brothers' eyes looking back at them, sending them a chill up their spine.
7. Once a pact mark is marked on the skin, it can't be moved elsewhere
Ex: If a pact mark is on the right arm, it stays there permanently and neither the demon nor the human can move it elsewhere on the body.
Minoru's pact marks with each brother: (the order follows the order of making pact in ss1 of the game)
MAMMON
- The only pact mark that is white in color, instead of black.
- Location: on Minoru's inner upper left arm. At the time of the making the pact, Mammon wasn't happy about making a pact with a puny human so he chose to place it in a hard-to-see place on Minoru's body, a decision which he came to regret later, but nothing could be change.
- The pact emanates yellow light whenever Minoru sees something valuable, such as money, pearl necklaces, ancient artifacts, etc.
- When Minoru caresses the mark, Mammon feels extreme happiness and his face shows it, though he denies if his brothers point it out.
