The impure blood of an Archdemon, a poison for most beings in the entire universe, even vampires themselves would never be able to drink such blood without melting and falling apart into pieces.
However, it is extremely hard to get, in my previous life I did drink it from the original source, but right now, they are not coming her personally, after all they're all sealed inside of hell. Even if their avatars or vessels are very similar to them, they're not really the archdemons themselves anyways.
They only harbor their souls, and might mutate and become similar to them, but it's not them, their true biological bodies are on another whole level completely...
But this bottle of blood, it says it is actually just Mammon's blood. How was the Grimoire even capable of creating this?
Did it use Mammon's soul to refine and synthetize it into his blood instead? Is that even possible to begin with?
Well, if this is authentic or not, I can find out very easily, just by drinking it.
After breakfast, I moved to my room for some privacy, and I drank all ten bottles one after another, Eleanora, who had accompanied me, was looking at me while drooling.
"T-That blood smells so good! C-Can I have some?"
"Already done, sorry."
Before she asked, I finished drinking the last bottle.
"Don't worry, my soul should be much tastier- Ugh?!"
BA DUM!
BA DUM!
BA DUM!
The moment I consumed all the blood, and my body finally began to assimilate its components, I felt like I was going to have a heart attack, my heart began beating incredibly fast, making my senses sharpen out of nowhere and making me feel slightly dizzier.
I resisted the sensations as I felt powerful Archdemonic energies rush across my veins and entire body, my Aura surged endlessly as it grew like demonic flames.
My Demon Core and my Demon Arm developed rapidly, but strangely enough, my Physique and my Magic Circle, not even my Soul, gained any power.
It was as if everything was directed only to my demonic body parts.
The Crown seems tied to my Demon Core growth, and right now it only has two areas where I can attach Sin Jewels...
The stronger my sins become, the stronger the crown will grow, gaining more circles, even.
"Hmm, this is unexpected," I said. "But a welcome surprise anyways... As for crystalizing a Sin Jewel, my Sins by themselves are only fragments I ate out of the Demons, the only genuine and semi-complete one is Greed, from Mammon. The other Fragments of Gluttony, Lust, and Wrath are incomplete... Can I still use them to crystalize Sin Jewels?"
"Wouldn't it be worth a try?" Eleanora wondered. "Also, perhaps you could try breaking the mold somewhat! Perhaps using Divinities could also work? Why not try something outside the box?"
"I always do that, particularly... but you're not wrong about that, Eleanora," I nodded. "I have an awful lot of Developing Divinities now. And I might get more later.
Sin Jewels are "Cores" to the Archdemonic Crown, once connected to it, they'll develop a Demonic Authority or a Demonic Ability, or sometimes both... They can't be switched out once placed, so I'll be locked to them forever but... Let's try."
Chapter Find:
I sat cross-legged, gathering the essence of the Sins inside of my Soul. The Partially Complete Greed was the strongest, overflowing with demonic energy and power. Then there were the other small guys, the largest was Gluttony, still fragmented and small and weak anyways. Then there was Wrath and Lust, both were too small too.
Although one of them alone wouldn't even let me make a single Sin Jewel without waiting for months of meditation, by combining their essence together, things become different.
FLAAASH!
By merely thinking about it and imagining it, the thing began to already happen, the essence of the sins started to materialize in my hands!
SPARK! CRACKLE!
However, it was unstable, not enough power...
I guess this is where experimentations begin.
"Hendrick, Eleanora, imbue the Divine Power of the Divinities you carry into the Sin Jewel, now!"
Hendrick was summoned by my side, rapidly obeying me with Eleanora.
"Yes sir!"
"Very well!"
FLUOSH!
