Extra Demon: Sacred Academy of Light

"Well… well… that doesn't look good at all," Leslie frowned as she looked at the towering pillars of fire rising to the sky. She felt that sense of joy, perfectly sensing the seraph… and it was a feeling she didn't like at all; it was twisted and sinister. She frowned deeply.

"Let go of me, you witch!" the demon flailed its hands in the air, trying to escape Leslie's grip. She looked back at the hideous creature and smirked. "Just die already," she said as she tightened her fist, crushing the demon's head in her hand.

Bang…

Ignoring the sticky substance on her hand, she looked off in a certain direction. Her heart raced, and she closed her eyes. "Did you feel that?" she asked the Seraph within her soul, who was awake, its gaze fixed on its fire-born sister. "The red lizard has emerged… Tsk, what envy," it murmured to itself, looking at Leslie with a pleasant smile. "Yes, she's in danger; I suggest you run," it said while turning its gaze to the Seraph of the End.

Leslie, quickly coming back to her senses, felt her body cover in lightning. She ran at maximum speed, her eyes filled with a deadly intent, gleaming dangerously.

*******

Half-demon, half-vampire… and just a little human… a strange combination of soul and bloodlines in a single being. This should be impossible, but strangely, I'm alive.

Looking at the scythe piercing through my flesh from the front… a terrible pain spreads through my body. Impaled by a sword and a scythe... it's not an enjoyable feeling in the slightest; believe me, if a paper cut hurts like hell, imagine cold steel tearing through your guts mercilessly...

"System… Activate the skill [Cold Mind]"

"Activated!"

[Cold Mind]

[Description: The host can turn off emotions in their mind.]

First things first—I need to shut off my emotions… "Ughh" Vomiting another mouthful of blood, I looked indifferently at the demon lord, who looked at me with a twisted smile…

[Blue Flame]

[Description: ???]

"I have no idea what this thing does… not that I've tried it… to be completely honest, I'm afraid of the blue flame, afraid of feeling my flesh burn… but right now… it's my only real attack skill.

[Mana Control]

[Description: The host can manipulate mana with a high level of mastery.]

"Those three should be enough…" Thinking to myself, I closed my eyes. As I said, I am part demon and vampire… so by right, I possess the ability for bloodline transformation…

[Ding! The system recommends the host look for other options!]

"Screw it!" I clenched my teeth…

[Is the host sure they want to unlock the hybrid bloodline?!]

"Yes!"

[Mutated Bloodline: Lesser Hybrid Semi-Creature]

[Description: Born from the Primordial Flame, a creature, an abomination that should never have existed, cursed by all beings of the three realms and blessed by all creatures of the three realms; an incomplete being, empty and full of madness.]

[Requirements: Blue Flame]

"Here we go…" With my eyes wide open… another explosion erupted…

BOOM!!!

*****

Daniela clenched her teeth… her hands glowed with a white color as she looked intently at her companion on the ground, watching the terrible wound begin to close. She breathed a sigh of relief… beside her companion's body lay the broken regression stone… It hadn't worked.

After a few moments, she stood up, wiping the sweat from her forehead. She looked with concern at the enormous pillars of fire rising into the sky, along with the red tint of the sky… It felt like they were in hell itself instead of the forest… Right now, it didn't seem like some trick of the event; the capsules that trapped them had literally shattered… Looking around, there were a few bodies recovering on the ground… some of them had burns on their skin.

[Protection: Maximum Healing] Daniela shouted, raising her hands to the sky. Above her, a large magic circle formed, glowing subtly, and specks of light fell softly, directly reaching the injured on the ground. She looked with bright eyes as all their wounds slowly healed, letting out a sigh of relief. This was the magic she had practiced every day, for this event… in the end, it served a purpose… comforting herself…

"What's the situation?" she asked her friend.

"I don't know, damn it… What the hell is going on!?" Beatrice clenched her fist in anger. "Is everyone… well… only Evelyn, Leslie, and Arthur are missing… I can't find them." She shook her head. "I can't enter the area with the pillars of fire… I'd be burned to death..." She shivered a bit… looking at the zone of certain death…

"That fire… is not normal," Adrian adjusted his glasses. "It's already good that we're far enough away to avoid it, but still…" He had to remove his armor due to the damned heat around them…

Blink!!!

"What in the…!" Elias was left in shock, pointing with his finger…

Everyone turned to look…

Around the pillars of fire, another capsule had formed… but this one was very different from the others… it had a glow of white-gold… around it were runes that formed wings… this entire capsule emitted a warm glow… the terrible heat around them vanished entirely, though the sky remained as red as before…

"Mom?" Daniela tilted her head slightly in confusion… she knew what kind of magic her mother used, and she could feel her presence if she were within close range… moreover, those runes… she recognized them…

"The Saint?!" Elias widened his eyes… after a few seconds, he sighed in relief; if she was there, everything should be fine… everyone else also felt relieved… showing it in their eyes…

But Daniela frowned… She thought she knew her mother, though sometimes, she wasn't even sure who her mother really was… all she knew was that she was so different from normal people… whenever she looked at her soul, the only thing she saw was a brilliant white radiance, like looking at a shining star…n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

BOOM!!!

Another explosion resonated powerfully from the north of their position, though it wasn't as terrifying, still…

Daniela watched as a pillar of fire rose…

"Blue fire…?" Daniela opened her mouth wide and quickly stood up. "ARTHUR!"
