Spawn of the abyss

Emily had grown up in a harsh environment, her family constantly changing homes, until she arrived in Orsys. She was a good student in magic school but her cousin always surpassed her so she insisted on looking for more. When she had to work in the Bathory Duchy, the basement was forbidden in the study hours of the little lady of the house. Emily insisted on staying hidden in the basement where Sophia practiced tabu magic with whom she would be the most wicked teacher in the entire continent.

The Sorciére Jouet Karoline Mouchard, was rotten to the bone and whatever it was that he taught Sophia, within half a year and by order of the Duke, she was placed as Sophia's exclusive governess and awarded a title of nobility and money. Karoline had already noticed Emily's presence and agreed to teach her the principles of witchcraft in exchange for her not re-entering the basement compound.

She received praise from her new teacher on everything she did, but Emily felt that it was not enough, she felt that her teacher was not showing her everything and wanted more.

While Emily learned black magic but it was really just cheap tricks, these seemed not to be on Sophia's level, neither in evil nor in power. She was very naive and clumsy. Karoline had only used her as a toy and cheated on her the entire time while she experimented with Emily to perfect the charm that Sophia would use in the future.

Rumor had it that she was a skilled manipulator, often taking her clients' money without returning anything in return, all after she was seen meeting three subjects wanted for embezzlement and extortion near a temple. After a brief conversation, they said goodbye and the next day the parish priest along with other inhabitants of the temple were found murdered and had been looted.

To avoid adding problems, since Sophia was already well known for her wickedness, the duke fired Karoline, but not before giving her a large sum of money to disappear. Emily was invited by her teacher to continue visiting her house to study and it was. Emily would go from time to time to seek guidance in old Acharin County.

Ray got what he wanted, found the bastard who trained Sophia and would use her as a pawn. The problem would be to be able to deal with it without being discovered. He insisted on camouflaging himself, as the memories extracted from Emily showed a woman so prepared that she touched and even surpassed the power of The Brotherhood itself, in ambition and perversity. Ray took the form of a middle-aged woman and Meraki took the form of a young woman in her twenties, while the little ones wore a shield of invisibility and protection.

They had guarded the farm beforehand to avoid setbacks but something seemed very strange to them. The place was quite silent, it was almost deserted not to say abandoned. The employees could be counted on the fingers of one hand and there was no sign of his mistress anywhere. Zion used the "watchful eye" to search for the woman and what he found was something hideous.

The most macabre horror was found in the second basement of the mansion that served as a laboratory. There were hundreds of corpses of shaved girls and women hanging from the ceilings as decoration, some were skinned or bleeding on drums full of blood while others lay dismembered on a butcher's table with a brazier and a boiling pot on the side. The organs were placed inside of bottles. The bones were thrown into a bottomless pit or were used as tools and the scalp was on another table prepared to make wigs.

The find was repulsive and vomitive. The enclosure was full of shelves full of ingredients considered magical and various condiments, there was also another shelf full of books, apparently accounting and other subjects. And in the midst of all that madness, there was a young woman tearing the skin of one of the victims with her teeth to eat them outrageously.

Ray knew that this was one of the many bodies that this monstrosity had taken for itself. The Karoline he knew in his old age was far from the one he saw in Emily's memories. Although they were the same entity, the avatar changed as she began to rot. Each time bodies resist less, she chose to jump from body to body to stay eternally young and that technique had been passed on to Sophia in some way for her to use at some point.

He asked Virgil if it was possible for a lich to make such a fuss with corpses and living people to move to a new container and Virgil replied that he had never heard such stupidity in his life and that possibly the being he would be dealing with was not a lich; but on the contrary, it could be an ancestral being as horrid as a primordial one. Dismissing the matter that he was a lich he dealt with the premise that he was a fallen god or worse, so he prepared himself for the hunt.

They entered the farm and through a portal they went to the laboratory to attack the woman from behind. The smell of blood and rotting corpses made the air unbreathable. They searched for the woman but did not find her on the site. An ominous feeling ran through Ray's spine, when suddenly the woman appears out of nowhere in front of them.

-Oh! I did not know that the door was open, it does not matter, you are not going anywhere- Karoline smiled and looked closely at Meraki - What a beautiful skin, it will be a beautiful tapestry and by the scent of your blood I can know that it has the best flavor of any another- the smile was distorted and she licked her lips savoring her prey

-Interesting observation but we are not interested in being part of your obscene collection. Ringo now or never.- Ray hastily called Ringo to take over the woman

Ringo appears behind the woman and crosses her with Antares transformed into a short spear. She begins to twist the spear to twist inside with as much pain as possible and then quickly pulled it out. Then she takes her cane that was carried on her back and inserts it inside the woman while she recites a chant. The woman falls to the floor, her red hair turns white and she begins to age.

Ray was still on alert, something was wrong. Karoline got crossed for no reason? No, she was expecting this. Suddenly Ringo starts screaming in pain. As if she were burning powder, her skin and hair turned jet black, her eyes turned yellow, her nails grew as did her ears. He had almost completely transformed into a demon and this was unthinkable since she was half a witch and his demonic blood could not manifest 100%, at most some demonic trait would be noticeable but not everything.

Karoline began to laugh like crazy, she did not think it possible that a half-blood witch had come so far.

-Hahahaha ... so you were looking to steal my power? Well there you go, enjoy it if you can. I don't know who you damn daring scum are. Dare to walk through the gates without fear of retaliation? I won't let you get away- Karoline was furious
