Another Deal?

Sylvia was walking in the dark forest at night as she bathed in the moonlight.

It was a therapeutic night as she took a stroll admiring the scenery around her.

She wasn't really actively looking for Lilith. In fact, the only reason why she suggested splitting up with Eve, was because she wanted to be alone.

Sylvia valued peace and quiet and she wouldn't give up an opportunity to stroll in such a beautiful place under the stars.

Normally at night, she would comfort herself with the fluffy fur of the animals and wouldn't wander off on her own.

This was because she didn't want to raise suspicion from Eve and Adam any further. After all, she was going to have to tempt them, and raising her credibility was quite important.

However, today was an exception. Today, Eve invited her so even if Adam asked where she went she could push it all on Eve.

As she continued to aimlessly walk around she took a mango out of her inventory and began having a little midnight snack.

'Having fruits for a midnight snack is a little...' Sylvia sighed as she thought of the junk food that she would sneak into her bedroom as she ate while staying up all night.

She wouldn't tell anybody of her bad habits and nobody found out. Nobody in the mansion knew of her late-night gaming sessions or her desire to eat junk food.

In fact, nobody suspected a thing. After all, such an emotionless child eating junk food and playing video games...

Everybody would think you were joking! She held a reputation of being studious and having a near-genius level of intelligence.

When she overslept she would simply point to the nearest book and everyone assumed that she stayed up reading a novel.

In reality, she was clicking heads and going on killing sprees to relieve her stress and boredom...

As she was reminiscing about the past she saw a figure of a woman. She had the exact same attributes as described by Eve and she was kneeling near the ground as she was drawing something.

'That's Lilith, right? What's she doing?' Sylvia became curious as she crept closer behind her...

She hid behind a tree close behind Lilith as she was preoccupied with her work.

As Sylvia looked at what she was drawing... it was eerily familiar.

Checking once again she looked around to find a certain reptile...

On the ground next to the drawing was the missing black snake as it stared at her figure behind the tree.

'What is going on...?'

What Sylvia was witnessing was Lilith drawing the same exact sigil that she had drawn earlier that day along with Satan guiding her.

'Don't tell me they're going to make a contract?!'

Sylvia was bewildered at this. Never did she think that Satan would make a contract with another person so soon. She was especially nervous as this entire contract may influence her plans on tempting Adam and Eve.

If Lilith got caught making a contract and if Eve were to stumble onto it then it was very likely for Sylvia to get caught up in it and suffer from her mistake.

'Why does she even want to make a contract in the first place...? Or, was she supposed to be the first contractor of Satan and that's why she wasn't mentioned in history...'

All of these theories flooded her brain, but no concrete answer.

She watched as Lilith created the sigil as she bit her hand as blood dripped into the center...

The following words confused her as well...

"Using my blood as a medium, I, Lilith, form a sacrificial pact with his majesty, the Ruler of Hell, in exchange for my soul I desire endless power."

'A sacrificial pact... so there were other types of pacts,' Sylvia also found her answer on the reason for Lilith to make a contract with Satan.

Lilith desired power. For reasons that she didn't know...

Soon after, the sigil on the floor disappeared back into the soil as she witness Lilith undergo a change within her body.

Lilith sprawled down to the floor as she writhed and screamed in pain as her entire body structure was changing.

Her bones were cracking as a black goo was escaping her body from every pore. As her bone structure changed she grew taller and her body became more well-defined. Her nails grew to a length where they could be mistaken as weapons.

However, it was far from over...

Lilith clutched her eyes as if she wanted to rip them out as they began to burn wildly. Her hair began to fall off as she became momentarily bald... However, not a beat later the hair instantly grew back from its roots as a new silver color hair downed her head.

Similar to Sylvia's hair in color though while Sylvia's reached all the way down to her waist, Lilith's barely reached the base of her neck. Though, it gave Lilith a much more mature feel than Sylvia...

Minutes passed as finally, the screams began to settle down. She let her hands drop down as they loosely hanged at her sides as she laid motionlessly on the ground.

'I think she passed out... Eve is going to definitely be here any second after all that screaming and I don't know how to explain this to her. I guess I'll have to do that...'

Sylvia looked down at the naked silver-haired beauty as she looked at the mess that was on the ground surrounding her. Black goo was still sticking to her skin and some of it was splattered around the ground. A large pool of sweat was also surrounding her and the smell was horrendous.

Thankfully, the hair all withered instantly as it left her head so Eve wouldn't be able to connect her with that.

Sylvia could only sigh as she began to pull the motionless body away from the crime scene...

--

Eve, on the other hand, was desperately looking for her friend.

She looked everywhere for her and still couldn't find a single hair not to say that she hasn't even seen a single footprint anywhere.

With no tracks or signs of her existence, she sighed as she wondered what she was up to.

However, then she heard a loud scream in the distant forest. In the same forest that she had asked Sylvia to explore!

She rushed over as she wondered what had happened as she was worried for the two of them.

Her thoughts went wild as she imagined all of the possible scenarios...

However, when she finally reached the place where she heard the screams... she froze.

What was left behind was a puddle of black goo as the stench invaded her nose. She began feeling nauseous as she wasn't used to such a scene nor was she used to such a smell.

She began feeling dizzy as she passed out on the floor, unable to handle the horrific scent.

--

Sylvia however, was still dragging the body of Lilith to the nearest source of water. She was afraid that Eve would discover her, but it was a risk she was willing to take for the sake of cleanliness.

Sylvia also desired to take a bath at this moment due to having the stench of Lilith permeate her clothing and her own body.

Finally reaching the pond she set aside Lilith as she began to take off the black dress that she had been wearing for the past 5 days. It was already getting extremely dirty, though, she would rather wear a dirty piece of clothing than none at all.

She also took off her underwear as she also decided to clean it in the process.

Though, she had no access to any soap or laundry detergent, not like she knew how to do her own laundry anyways...

She simply soaked them in water as she tried her best to scrub off any dirt or stains she found. After she was satisfied, she hung her clothes on the lowest branch of a nearby tree for them to dry.

However, that was the easy part...

She looked at the naked woman lying on the ground as she wondered how she was going to clean her.

It was impossible for her to sink her entire body in the water as she wouldn't be able to keep her afloat and Lilith would just end up drowning if she didn't wake up.

So, she decided to take it slow and steady.

She scooped water from the pond and carried it in her hand until pouring it onto Lilith's body.

Let's just say... It was painfully inefficient...

However, after enough time Lilith was mostly cleaned with no black goo or any dirt on her body. Though, the stench was still there so she would have to deal with that herself.

As she was satisfied with her work she finally got down to business...

'So, Satan, what was this all about?' Without even turning her body she could feel his presence.

The black snake came out of the shadows as it slithered its way towards Sylvia.

'I was just making a contract with a lamb that desired it. Is that a crime?' Satan cheekily responded as he looked at the back of Sylvia.

'No, not really, let me ask you this, however. What did it mean when she sacrificed her soul to her and why did her body go under such a drastic change?'

Satan paused for a moment before responding. 'Hmm, how should I say this... When she dies I'll reap her soul and claim it as mine, her soul is of high quality too because she was one of that Bastard's first creations. Other than that there is no real downside of selling your soul other than you won't be able to reincarnate, oh you would also feel endless pain, but who cares about that right.'

Sylvia thought about it and it really did seem like a good deal from her standpoint. She wouldn't feel any downside until she died and once she died it didn't like it really mattered at that point.

Hell, if she knew that there was such an option, she would rather have sold her soul than form a blood pact.

'Well, about her body change... Let's just say I changed her species a bit.'

Hmm? Changed her species? Now she was curious to know what species he had turned her into. It had to be a species known for its strength as Lilith herself requested for power...

However, not a single species entered her mind that reflected her characteristics... Well, not that it especially mattered at this moment.

'I'll be taking her outside of the garden. The only reason why she hasn't been killed yet was because I'm suppressing her demonic aura.' Satan said as he began to slither himself around the wrist of Lilith.

Does this mean that he turned her into a demon? Sylvia couldn't think of a single demon that shared the same properties as Lilith. The closest thing in her mind was the succubus, but she obviously didn't grow a tail or horns...

'When will you be back?' Sylvia asked as she needed him to be around for her to safely execute her plan tomorrow.

'I'll be back by tomorrow morning, I'm just going to send her to Hell for her to rest for a bit.'

What. Don't you go to Hell when you die? Then again, she did get a skill option for her to be able to go to Hell earlier...

'Alright, don't be late, I'll be making my move tomorrow.' Sylvia thought as she simply stared at the calming pond that reflected the moon.

Without even turning around she already knew that Satan had disappeared along with the body of Lilith.

She sat aimlessly at the side of the pond as she meticulously planned her next move...

Also, she needed her clothes to dry...
