[Author: This chapter contains a vague mention of sexual intercourse. For those who are uncomfortable, just scroll fast. #R18]

Inside the Blue Sea Church.

"Estel, are you sure we should do this?" A half-naked man glanced at the altar on the side. He was laying down on the sacrificial marble that was placed on the center of the platform.

Straddled on top of his body is a nun. She still had her headdress on, but her clothes had all its buttons open, revealing her ample bosom with no undergarments inside.

"Oh my dear Andy... You still feel shame doing such a lecherous act in front of your God despite sleeping with a nun?" Estel traced her fingers on the man's chest as her voice whispered. It was coilingly sweet and tender.

Andy's eyes revealed an expression of struggle. The whole point of hooking up with a nun was to feel the taboo of blasphemy, right?

They were surrounded with candles, the smell drove Andy into heat... Estel said that it was for the atmosphere, and she was right.

Andy felt very aroused.

But he had a bit of reservation. Although he had a questionable preference, he grew up listening to the Sea God. It was impossible for him not to feel a bit of guilt when doing this in front of the altar.

"Andy is really feeling guilty~" Estel gave him a teasing smile as she licked her lips. "There's no need to worry. Once Estel makes Andy happy, you'll forget all of that immediately."

Andy gave in to hid desires. He closed his eyes and felt Estel's hands rubbing his part.

Moans of pleasure sounded inside the church. There were nuns guarding outside the door with their heads down. None of them reacted to the noise, as if they were made out of puppets.

After a few minutes, the 'battle' inside was done.

Estel laid on the man's arms... Her face flushed with fulfilment

But once you take a look at this scene, you wouldn't feel any lust. Just pure terror, as the man's chest were cut open. Inside, it revealed the missing heart.

Oh, where's the heart?

Estel wiped the blood on her lips as she chewed on a delicious delicacy.

"Ahhhh~ how great. A heart of someone in the heat of the moment is really the most delicious."

She sat up naked. Her white and slender body bare for anyone to see. She was no longer the holy nun that she pretended herself to be.

Sharp teeth, black tail, and scaly raven-like wings.

If you are familiar with the book Demon Encyclopedia, you would know that Estel, who was pretending to be human, is actually a succubus.

Different from Bakras and Suvan, succubi are high-ranking demons. They are intelligent and cunning.

Estel felt that there was no need to perform, the illusion inside the church was dispelled.

It revealed a gruesome sight that was covered underneath the fantasy.

Surrounding her were not candles, but dead bodies of children.

Their chests were cut open and their internal organs were missing. They were hollowed out and their insides were replaced with candle waxes.

Estel was very choosy. She would use beautiful children as candle holders, as she liked the smell they produced after death.

All the children had smiles on their faces. It was like they were basking in the most beautiful dream after their death.

Wearing light blue robes, it was the symbol of the altar servers. Children who served the Church of the God of the Seas.

"Estel, stop abducting children from the town. Although the guardian is already very old, what if he'd suddenly decide to fight you to the death?" A voice suddenly sounded in the shadows. In the darkness was a man. His face was not visible, but based on his build, he was a tall guy with a toned body.

"Okay... But I want this week's batch to be delivered." Estel didn't even look at the direction of the voice as she laid beside the dead corpse.

The man seemed surprised. "You're very agreeable today. Did something happen?"

"Nothing much. I just felt bored. No matter how pretty the children are in this town, they are just skinny country bumpkins." Estel had a look of boredom on her face as she licked off the bloodstain on her lips.

"That old man is dying, right? It's fucking stuffy waiting for his death. Being stuck here is no fun. Can't we just kill him off?"

The man walked out of the darkness, his face finally visible.

He sat beside Estel and pulled her into his arms. "Well, I guess you're already getting bored. Don't worry, we are almost done. The capital and the guardian can't find a middle ground for their deal. This time would be easy for us."

"As for now, we can't touch the old man. Him dying from natural causes versus him dying in the hands of the demons are two different things. The capital won't let it slide."

Estel laid her head on his chest. "Okay... your plan sounds promising, but how about the sacrifice?"

"Hmm, I can sense that he is already starting to suspect something... But that's it. It's not a cause of worry. I don't think a rustic townsman would think much." As he said that, his hands started to move from Estel's waist to her chest.

"Eh~" Estel's eyes narrowed as a soft sound came out of her mouth. She let him do his thing as she thought of the sacrifice. "His name is Ain, right?"

"My beloved Estel, stop thinking about another man while we do our businesses." The man softly fondle Estel's bosom as he slowly sunk his head on her neck.

Not minding his tone, although Estel's face looked emotionless, her body catered to the man's desire. That is how succubuses are.

"He seemed to be the brother of that little witch, right?" Estel showed a smile, "I also saw that little witch's eldest brother... What an interesting combination of siblings."

One could say that the child Rena wasn't isolated from the class just because of her display of wealth. Such a weird child caught Estel's attention, but that cranky Sister Lily would always find a reason to pull her away from the children.

"I want to kill that hag," Estel whispered. Think about that ugly bitch made her sick.

...

Inside the Delight Pavilion.

"Shit fucking bitch. Why is she so expensive when God knows how many men already ran through her hole?" Ron puffed the smoke in his mouth and exhaled it as he fastened his belt.

He tossed the cigarette butt onto the ground and stepped on it. Just as he was about to leave, his heart almost jumped out of his chest the moment he saw a figure behind him.

He took a step back before recognizing who it was. He patted his chest and sighed. "Goodness, Ugan, you almost killed me. What are you doing standing there?"

Ron then touched Ugan's shoulders, not realizing how terrifying the look in his eyes was. He was very dizzy from the drinks, so he was not as sharp as usual.

"Want me to introduce you to some whores? I can recommend you some beauties—"

Before he could even finish what he was saying, a fist landed straight on his face.

BANG!

Ugan quickly followed up his punch with another. He didn't give Ron a chance to speak as he vented his anger.

After a few seconds, he pulled Ron's collar and growled, "Where the fuck did you bring my daughter?! Give her back to me or I'll kill you."

The punch awakened Ron's mind. He stared at Ugan's insane face and denied it, shivering as he said, "Brother, I have no idea what you are talking about. Are you crazy?!"

Three of his front teeth got knocked off. It looked very funny. The blood dripped out of his mouth as he spoke. None of them were in the mood to appreciate the humor.

"Stop denying it! I already know what's happening. I heard you talking to Argon! I know what you are doing! Tell me where is my daughter!" Ugan got straight to the point. He looked at Ron as if he were about to take a bite out of him.

Ron's face revealed astonishment before it suddenly turned calm. Since Ugan already knew it, he didn't hide it anymore.

"Look, it's just business." Ron snickered. "Your daughter is already sold. I have no idea where she is now." He watched in relish as Ugan's face changed drastically.

That arrogant face made Ugan's head buzz in anger. He slammed Ron on the ground.

BANG!

Ron coughed, but before he could fix his composure, a shadow suddenly covered his entire body.

He looked up.

BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG!

Ugan held a brick in his hand. He slammed it multiple times on Ron's head.

Blood splattered on his face as he cracked Ron's head open like an egg.

After Ron stopped moving, Ugan threw the brick to the side and wiped the sweat that was about to drip into his eyes. His hand smeared blood all over his face, but he didn't mind.

This time, his face was stoic and quiet. He didn't kill Ron on impulse. Ugan knew what he wanted to do, and he did just that.

He bent down and checked Ron's pockets. Inside were silver coins that he probably got from selling his children. Aside from the cigarettes, there was a piece of paper tucked in the wallet.

Ugan opened it. There were numbers and names, but unfortunately, Ugan was illiterate, so he had no idea what was written inside of it.

Pocketing the paper in his pants, he grabbed Ron by the feet and tossed his body into the nearby sewers. He didn't even bother cleaning up the blood.

Staggering, he went out of the dark alley and looked up. The sun had already risen, signifying a new beginning.

A new beginning alright. But not all new beginnings are beautiful starts.

Ugan was in a daze as he walked aimlessly on the streets. He accidentally bumped into someone and his already weak body tumbled.

"Sorry sir, are you okay?" The person that bumped into him helped him up.

Ugan didn't answer. He stood up and walked away.

Cia looked at the man's back. His brows furrowed. Was that blood? Or just a random stain?
