I was facing a truly frightening entity, no matter how normal El tries to act, her smile conveys a sense of fun in the worst possible way, and her eyes are like ice abysses that give me goosebumps whenever I try to look.
But I couldn't help it, she's in different leagues from the World Tree even though I see similarities in the way she chooses to take a physical form.
"I don't think I have the option to refuse this deal." (I)
"You can refuse, but if I do I might be a little vindictive… but don't worry, I wouldn't do anything that you wouldn't be able to handle with a little more effort." (Callidora)
"(In other words if I refuse I will be put in a near death situation.)" (I)
"You don't seem like the type to die easily, but if it does, just blame it on your weakness." (Callidora)
"..." (I)
The smile on her face while talking about my death was not something I liked, but that was enough to understand that refusal could mean death directly or indirectly.
Sigh
"What deal would that be?" (I)
"That's what I wanted to hear, very good." (Callidora)
---------------
Pov Hela's:
I couldn't stand listening to this crap anymore, I leave Lilith alone inside the magically isolated room and close the door behind me before throwing myself onto the bed in the house built of bones that I made using my magic.
Sigh
"I'm not going back in there." (I)
"Master, I don't think we're going to get anything out of the prisoner, leaving him alive any longer is a risk." (Hellyos)
"I know, but Lilith is frustrated that her torture was met with so much pleasure from that idiot... his moans for more while her arm was being crushed were horrible." (I)
Even Lilith was having problems with this situation, I know she has encountered others with similar tastes in the past, but never to the extreme in which this aberration finds herself.
"How can you act normally after hours of watching that?" (I)
"I've said it before, the people who chose to reside here are not normal, do you think he's the only one with such unique tastes?" (Zaya)
"There is a Witch on a northern island who walks around the streets naked trying to attract someone, her specialty is erotic magic, she loves to devour people during sex and I mean really devour, she devours pieces of the flesh of her partners or sexual partners bite by bite, the victim has all the pain and any other emotion or sense transformed into pleasure, in the end, the person is dead and their Soul is stolen so they can become pregnant using their magic together with the acquired Soul to create their Demonic servants." (Zaya)
"..." (I)
"She has blue skin, pink eyes, and black hair?" (Hellyos)
"She's not a Succubus, her race is a Runic." (Zaya)
"I had the displeasure of meeting a Succubus similar to the one you described in the past, but she was more savage." (Hellyos)
It seems that people in this world are the worst in the extreme, I never want to hear again that Necromancers are bad for using the death of others for their benefit, this must be the first time I feel normal since the master created me.
"Let's not change the topic, we've been in this town for 3 days after ending the curses on everyone in that town." (I)
"Even after all this time we haven't found who we're looking for." (I)
"I'm sure he's still in town." (Zaya)
"How can you be sure?" (I)
"Every Grave Lady on Tarzor knows the location of everyone and everything." (Zaya)
"(Their connection with this world, creature or whatever this place is must be strong, they seem to function as Familiars.)" (I)
"How are we going to find him?" (I)
"If he's apparently nowhere to be found, then we just have to go to the Library of the Fallen." (Zaya)
"Wait, the Library of the Fallen is in this place? I thought it was a legend." (I)
The Library of the Fallen is a place where Profane, Forbidden, and Cursed knowledge is gathered, the largest existing collection of Necromancer Magic is just a part of the knowledge stored within.
There is no Necromancer who has not heard about this Library, this is because magic of my type is prohibited in half the places while in other places it will always be seen as something negative, which is true, but for this reason, Necromancer Magic is always the more difficult to study because there is not much material available for study, one of the reasons why all Necromancers are constantly researching their magic.
"I'm sure this library can't be easily accessed." (I)
"To be more precise, let's go to a place from the library, this place belongs to Tarzor and my race takes care of the library, but there are 3 towers around it, your target must be in one of the towers." (Zaya)
"Tell me... damn, Hellyos!" (I)
"< Blood Whip >" (I)
"< Infernal Barrier >" (Hellyos)
I create a blood whip in my hands as I walk through the door that leads to another room, then I grab Lilith wrapping the Whip around her pulling my entire form close at the same time a magic circle appears around us activating a blue barrier dark covered in Runes.
Soon drops of some green liquid appear, melting the entire house of bones that I built temporarily, when the house disappears I see that we were surrounded, a gray-skinned woman among the enemies took a step forward with a smile.
"Charge the Flame of Rebirth."
"..." (I)
"..." (Lilith) I didn't need to be a genius to know that she wanted Starfire, in the last few days the pain has been much less than it was before, but it is still burning inside me consuming any amount of Holy Power that appears in my body.
I don't know what she wants with this, she called it the Flame of Rebirth, I've heard of it, but we have it seems to be different.
"Is this what you want?" (I)
I reach out and use my Aura to guide some of the Starfire into my hand, when everyone saw the woman disappeared and before I knew it she was in front of me touching the Starfire with her hands covered in a gauntlet full of Runes, but It didn't work when her body started to burn.
"ATTACK!!"
"< Necromancer Magic: Graveyard of Dragons >" (I)
"< Bone Wave >" (Hellyos)
"< Chains of Vengeance >" (Lilith)
While the one who seemed to be the leader was burning, I started activating the ritual magic that I left underground when building the house, this created a barrier expanding the space inside, so we can fight without having too many eyes on us.
My Familiar went along creating a wave of bone spears appearing from the ground one after another in all directions, this will only slow them down, but it was enough time for Lilith to summon many chains that moved as if they were alive when attacking the enemies while still dodging from Hellyos' attack.
I use my blood to create a staff with blades at the end by crystallizing the blood, it's been a long time since I realized that my blood is one of my thousands of weapons.
I go up to one of the enemies, I try to hit him with my staff, but as soon as I did that his body exploded with tentacles wrapping around me, but I smile as I make my staff bend, piercing the core of the creature that falls on the dead floor.
"They are Demon Corpses..." (I)
Knowing this and seeing how strong they are I'm relieved, it would be difficult to get out of this if it were any other time, but Corpses are my daily study material.
"< Death Magic: Purification of Chains >" (I)
I create a magic circle around my staff at the top, the red crystal gets blue spots as the surrounding creatures retreated.
For more than 20 minutes we fought continuously, the enemies were strong, but they didn't have variety in their movements and lacked attacks of real power to finish enemies, thanks to this we managed to finish them all, but I couldn't find who controlled them.
The bodies on the ground were burning in blue flames, their bodies were already soulless as their bodies were burned until completely incinerated.
But there were still 3 people who were left out, one of them was grabbing Lilith by the neck while she was crying and blood was dripping from her mouth, and the other 2 were behind him like guards.
"You will deliver what we want now or this woman will die."
"You know, I can't understand one thing, why attack us like this and how do you know about the Star Flame?" (I)
"Shut up and hand over what..."
"Are you done playing?" (I)
Lilith who was crying before looks laughing at me, the blood that dripped from her mouth moved through the body of the man holding her by the neck drawing a Magical Ritual directly on her body, as soon as it was active one of the 2 men behind him was sucked into the his body while the second had his eye pierced into his brain by Lilith's tail.
Soon she ripped her fingers from around his neck and began eating while the man stood frozen on the spot.
"What did you do?" (I)
"The one holding me was a Priest, I felt the power inside him that didn't come from him, I also had my eye on the other man from the beginning, his Aura of Revenge was very great and he had a power of the same type that I was feeling from the priest." (Lilith)
"What I did was seal what I suspect to be an Evil God within the Priest himself." (Lilith)
"You guys can use this to..." (Zaya)
