—It constantly consumes a small part of your soul, and it also serves to track your location at any moment. —Lilith frowned... —Don't worry about that; I've already taken care of Envy —she smiled and, out of nowhere, pulled out a piece of greenish flesh... —Although I can't kill her, I ripped off a piece of her. You can eat it if you want.
"Why are you looking at me like that?" Lilith tilted her head slightly, confused... "Are you serious?" I asked as I stared at the large chunk of pale green flesh, which weighed almost a pound.
"Of course! Eating the flesh of a much stronger being is a blessing. Not only is it rich in mana, but the various proteins in the flesh of a stronger being benefit you immensely in every way. Sure, it will hurt a bit, but that's nothing. After all, we are demons.
Though lesser demons can't evolve beyond the capacities of their souls, they can still gain strength among their own kind, making them much stronger than usual. Many years ago, this was the most normal way of life for demons of that era. How do you think Merlin managed to ascend to where she is? She was the most gluttonous of us all," Lilith said with a calm smile.
"Of course, if you don't want it, I can give it to my daughter."
"I'll take it!" Without hesitating another second, I quickly grabbed the flesh in my hands... "It's quite soft," I thought to myself... Although the idea of eating a demon seems disgusting, I don't care as long as it makes me stronger. Besides, that bastard owes me for what happened earlier! "Good decision, but before that..." Lilith took out a ring: "Store it in this ring, which now belongs to you."
Quickly taking the ring... I frowned: "Why are you giving me so many things?" The flesh of a Sin and a dimensional ring…
"For the trouble, that's all," she shrugged: "Anyway, that's all for now; I have to go." She made a gesture of farewell, and her body disappeared...
After a few seconds... I looked at the ring between my fingers... biting one of them... a few drops of blood fell onto it... the ring glowed a little, and I felt a slight connection to my mind... "Perfect." With a small smile, I stored the piece of flesh...
"It was a good haul, considering I was almost killed again if it weren't for Lilith... and Merlin." With a bitter taste in my mouth... "In a single day, I've already encountered two Sins, Gluttony and Envy..." Reflecting on it, Merlin's image came to mind: "She was the most gluttonous of all..." remembering Lilith's words.
There are many important things Lilith mentioned in our conversation... but without a doubt, the most important is that for some reason (they want to devour me), all the Sins know that I'm in Hell, and the first to act was Envy... who I don't even know what the hell looks like... I also didn't know what Gluttony looked like until a few moments ago... "They want to devour a fragment of her soul..."
[Primordial Seals: 1/7]
"Is she referring to those seals?" I asked myself... Now that I think about it, Lilith removed her seal, giving me part of her ability... but what would happen if instead of removing them, they devour them? Do they get stronger? No, wait, why do I even have these seals on my soul in the first place? Frowning even more...
Since I have no answers, I put these thoughts aside, but on the other hand, I could ask Lilith about it. I'm not sure, but for now, it's better to worry about myself. The first thing I need to do is eat this flesh... and the second is to complete the potion to evolve, step by step... The second is already in motion...
I think it's better to wait until I evolve first and then eat the flesh; it will be much more beneficial.
Standing up... I stretched a little. Mentally, I'm exhausted. After everything that happened, I need a break, a lot to think about and a lot to do... it's Saturday; I only have one day before classes officially start... it's plenty of time, I hope...
"Let's go! We've got what we came for!" An excited voice came from the front. Looking at the young girl with small horns on her head, although they were a little bigger than the succubi from the castle, with her pink hair and bright eyes, she was holding two pairs of black flowers in her hands... To her right was a woman with black hair and red eyes holding a medium-sized bottle...
They're acting as if nothing happened... "What just happened?" I asked them, intrigued... Slyv looked at me strangely... "What do you mean?" She tilted her head slightly...
"Didn't anything happen?" I asked again... Slyv pursed her lips... "No?" she looked around... "You said you'd take care of the rest while the two of us went to get the materials," she pointed with her finger...
Now that she mentions it... Sniff... Sniff...
The strong smell of iron filled the air around me. Turning my head, I saw... charred black bodies... all forming a circle around me, at least 20 at first glance... all in the same condition, as if they had been burned to death... "Did I do that?" I asked, looking confused around me...
I don't remember any of it...
"Come on, stop messing around; we have more important things to do." Violeta spread her bloody wings, four of them. With a leap, she grabbed my arm. She smiled brightly: "We've fulfilled our part of the deal... now it's your turn." She showed her teeth, which were very sharp... even a bit scary... swallowing dryly, I turned my gaze toward Slyv...
she also had a soft smile: "You're not getting away," she said playfully...
With a grim look, well, I suppose everything's fine; life is half and half... Thinking about it: "I have two secondary materials, I still need the blood of a progenitor vampire, my own blood, and mainly Lilith's essence. Those are all the materials I need for my evolution..."
