Extra Demon: Sacred Academy of Light

Chapter 57 A deal



—Hmmm... well, as you probably know, you're not a normal demon. You seem... like a mix of human and demon... an outcast, in short, an abomination in the eyes of all living creatures in the three worlds, a disastrous blend between a man and a succubus. A being that should be killed.

"A-what did you say?" My eyes widened from the mental shock... my hands quickly brushed over my body, and my breathing quickened a bit... "N-no deformities..." Calming down a little, I adjusted my train of thought... "An outcast?" I asked again, hoping I had misheard.

"Yes, that's what I said." Lilith tilted her head slightly and looked at me as if I were stupid, with a grim expression. "But how...?"

"I don't know, I have no idea why you were even born... You know what I mean, right?" Lilith chuckled slightly. "It's biologically impossible, miraculously impossible, and everything that leads to impossible that you were born alive. A union between a demon and a human is both a divine and demonic punishment.

But there were two people who ignored all the laws, and you were born..." Lilith paused for a few moments as if waiting for me to absorb everything she was saying.

"It's a miracle you were born alive, a miracle among miracles. Normally, with every such union, the baby or aberration of nature..." Looking at her more grimly: "Can you stop? It hurts... Alright?" I said seriously. She raised an eyebrow: "Excuse me, but that's how they refer to your kind." She shrugged and continued, "I understand your parents abandoned you.

In fact, it's a bit funny—they were terrified that you were born alive... Your mother was about to kill you, but instead, she chose to sell you when you were five years old."

"Perfect, just what I needed—besides being an outcast, my parents tried to kill me. Aren't I the quintessential protagonist?" Mocking myself, I lowered my head a little. Talking about parents made me remember my parents on Earth...

"Your parents are still alive, you know, doing their thing... shu, shu, shu. You get it, right?" Lilith looked at me amused, as if everything was funny to her. "I understand that most outcasts either go insane or die at birth..." Frowning... This was much more complicated than I had initially thought. I originally believed Arthur was just a simple demon...

but there's much more to it.

"Well, when I found you, as I said, I thought you were human. But what a surprise I got when I saw inside your essence—half human and half demon. Clearly, the demonic essence is much stronger than the human one, but your human side is still there..." She lightly caressed her cheek. "I was thinking about killing you when I realized you were an outcast.

You know, demons are utterly disgusted by such a creature... Just seeing you makes one want to gouge their eyes out..."

"She's doing this on purpose, right?" I asked myself... glaring darkly at Lilith. "Okay... I'll stop, hahaha," she chuckled a bit. "After watching you for more than 10 years, I concluded that everything is due to your blue flame.

I suppose its defect somehow completely suppresses your demonic essence, acting like an auto-seal that prevents you from exploding or going insane..." She smiled as she casually pulled out a teapot and two cups. She calmly poured whatever it was, but the liquid was black...

"In reality, I sent you to this place because in the demon world, you were in danger. Well, it's my house, isn't it? My daughter, for some reason, is very attached to you. I suppose it's because you two grew up together." She pursed her lips slightly. "But to everyone else, you're a pest that needs to be exterminated..."

"I wonder what they think... In the original timeline, I was killed... by the protagonist," thinking again to myself. "I deduced that the academy was the best place for you. Given your level, I also figured you'd manage to get in. If that hadn't worked out, I would've locked you away in my domain," she lifted her cup of tea and brought it to her lips.

"But it turned out my plans were a success," she nodded happily.

Looking at her suspiciously... "So why did you tell me to keep an eye on Leslie and Evelyn?" I asked, eyeing the cup of tea Lilith had placed in my hands. "Could it be poison?" I couldn't help but think it, as the liquid was seriously black and I could see something moving inside...

"Well," she hesitated a bit and looked at me... "How do I put this... they're seraphim from heaven, in short," she finally said.

"Well, I didn't expect her to say it outright... but she did. This only confirms that she knows about the seraphim... and she told me. It's more than secret information; I don't think she's trying to deceive me... I know about them too," with quick thinking, I pretended to be surprised.

"What are you talking about!?" I yelled in murmurs, my eyes wide with pure fear...

She chuckled softly and shook her head. "Come on, you're terrible at acting. I know you know, too," she took another sip of her tea, bringing it to her lips. "I can see it—there's the essence of those creatures in your soul," she said calmly.

I stayed silent for a while. Honestly, nothing surprises me anymore. Letting out a sigh, I muttered, "How the hell can you see through me? Give me some space," complaining a bit...

"Well, for demons—or better said, for the Seven Sins—it's easy to detect it. It can't be helped; it's an essence completely opposed to ours," she shrugged again.

"What a nuisance," I murmured to myself... Lilith chuckled a little. "You know, what's written in that book, as I said, was wrong. I was never with Lucifer. I was actually curious about the seven seraphim; the deal was based on them," she paused for a moment. "Do you want to know?" she asked with a seductive smile.

Not letting myself be fooled, I asked, "What deal?" while I finally took a small sip of the black tea. "It tastes surprisingly good..."n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

"Well, I'm quite curious. I can feel that you've gotten stronger, which leaves me speechless. I know that outcasts can never become strong, even worse than cockroaches," she said. Experience more on empire

"Here we go again..." I looked at her in silence.

"I want you to tell me how you did it and about the items you need. That's the deal. Quite beneficial for you, and I'll take you with me to the demon world," she said as she swirled the cup, raising her hand with a smile. Her red lips parted: "Do we have a deal?"
