Extra Demon: Sacred Academy of Light

"And now, what happens next?" Lilith asked, her eyes filled with complete excitement. She looked at me expectantly, waiting for some kind of answer...

Remaining silent, I looked at the materials lying on top of a red cloth: the leaves, the two drops of blood, the corrupt water, and finally, Lilith's essence... honestly, I have no idea how to proceed.n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

"System?" I asked, speaking in my mind...

[Ding!]

[The procedure is quite simple. I'll explain the steps—you just have to follow the correct order, which is in reverse.]

[Main ingredient: Pure essence of the Succubus Queen.]

[Secondary ingredients: 1 drop of blood from a vampire with progenitor lineage, 2 Black Blood Flowers, 20 ml of corrupt water, 20 drops of the host's blood.]

[First, you must place the 20 drops of the host's blood, then add the 20 ml of corrupt water. Following this order, the last ingredient will be the essence of the sin of lust. You can put this mixture in a regular glass bottle.]

Reading the system's instructions, I turned my gaze back to Lilith. She was crouching, patiently waiting, with a cute, innocent smile on her lips... it's a little, or a lot, scary, to be honest. "Do you have a glass bottle?" I asked her. "Also, a small knife I could borrow..."

"No problem," Lilith snapped her fingers, and out of nowhere, the two things I asked for appeared. "Here," she handed them to me. Nodding, I said, "What are you doing now?" she asked again, excited.

"First, I'll have to place 20 drops of my blood," I told her as I pricked my thumb with the knife, holding the bottle right under my finger.

Drip... Drip... Drip... Drip...

The blood fell slowly onto the base of the bottle. After a few moments, when I finished counting the 20 drops, I pulled my finger away. "Now I need to add the 20 ml of corrupt water," I murmured to myself, though Lilith was listening intently, not blinking. I picked up the bottle containing the corrupt water, and as I unlocked it, faint lamenting whispers entered my ears...

"The corrupt waters of hell, aside from imprisoning human souls, also cause them immense pain for eternity..." Lilith kept her innocent smile and blinked at me. "I have to admit, you're very confident to be drinking that stuff. Just taking a sip could rot you from the inside out. I doubt it's going to be a pleasant experience—more like agonizing and torturous..."

"Can you be quiet for a moment?" I frowned, thinking to myself... "Just trust me..." I told her. But even after hearing her words, I let out a sigh, shaking my head as I carefully poured exactly 20 ml of corrupt water into the bottle. As soon as the two liquids touched, they mixed instantly, forming a new color. It was black with red streaks, but the deformed faces didn't disappear at all...

"Now it's time... to add the two black blood flowers..." I carefully picked up the black flowers with red tips and dropped them directly into the mixture. The petals melted the moment they touched the liquid... after a few seconds, the petals were no longer visible.

"The drops of Violeta's blood..." I picked up one of the vials, removed the glass stopper, and an extremely strong smell emanated from within while a tiny drop of blood glowed faintly inside. "Violeta's blood drops are also considered an extremely potent poison. You're lucky to open it in my presence...

you don't want to know what would've happened if you'd opened it alone," Lilith said indifferently.

"Damn bloodsucker!" I cursed Violeta in my heart, gritting my teeth. "How could she forget to tell me something so important?" Frowning darkly, I carefully added the blood to the bottle...

BOOM!

A small explosion occurred inside the vial, sending up a mushroom-shaped puff of smoke that rose from the bottle. "The mixture between corrupt water and the blood of a progenitor vampire is quite curious..." Lilith murmured under her breath, her eyes gleaming with a hint of madness. "A twisted combination, look at the faces..." she said with a smile. Glancing back, the faces had indeed changed.

In fact, they were attacking each other, but their expressions had become even more distorted. Tiny bubbles started to form, and from them, I could hear more clearly the screams of agony... "This is seriously..." I muttered. It felt like I was working with radioactive materials...

Picking up Lilith's soul essence, the final and most important ingredient... the essence itself, how can I describe it? It's like... well, I don't know how to describe it, but the contact is comforting, I suppose... Taking a deep breath, I let it fall into the bottle. At that precise moment, the mixture simply grew, and a thin layer of pink smoke spread throughout the room.

Lilith remained silent for a few moments... as did I. The mixture changed color; it was now a bright pink with small white dots, and it seemed as though the other ingredients had simply vanished... the pink substance filled the bottle to the brim.

"Now I have to drink this... System?"

[Yes, the mixture was successful!]

Reading the system's confirmation, I let out a sigh of relief and looked at the mixture again. Now, its appearance was much better than before—turbid, dark, and with twisted faces... now, I think I can drink whatever this thing is.

"You're going to drink it, right?" Lilith asked with a smile. "Hey! Hey! Wait, that's mine!" I stopped her hand as it reached for the bottle. "Was she trying to steal it?" Holding the bottle in my hands, I looked suspiciously at Lilith... she quickly withdrew her hand and tucked her hair behind her ear, smiling.

"I just wanted to see it up close..." she excused herself, though it was clearly a lie!

Moving a bit away from her... I looked at the bottle, took a deep breath, and said, "To hell with it!" bringing it to my lips... the cold, sticky liquid slid down my throat...
