Chapter 135 - Abyssal Grail Ritual Part One: Suspicious Vortex (2/2)

”We Gargoyles didn't fix something that isn't broken.”

Aside from the merry background. The ritual was going smoothly for the two.

The erinyes closed her eyes with a tender smile, she opened her hand and one of the black shards opened a wound on her soft palm. The blood was siphoned and woven into the surrounding elegantly before meeting with the Abyssal Grail.

The raging red liquid calmed down and it began to morph its hue into black. The liquid was simmered into the amount of a single sip. All of the pillars heightened its ominous light as the grail slowly wafted to the Ouroboros, reaching and waiting for its content to be drunk.

Damascus gestured to the Ouroboros to drink it, and both replied to each other with a sly smirk that could mean differently depending on the time and location. MF's fingers were upon the grail and with an alluring hooded gaze, she gently let the liquid pass through her lips.

'This tasted delicious actually, sour and creamy.'

Foel, who watched the gesture and expression attentively from the side, began to wonder while donning a killer stare. ”Is this just me or are both of them flirting with each other?”

”They did look like they were flirting.” Galukh responded.

”They're flirting,” Tuli added.

”Definitely,” Primis added.

”They're flirting, alright,” Ki added.

MF could feel the killing intent from where she was at. 'Did I do something wrong!?'

The liquid that MF sipped had seeped into every inch of her being both soul and physical. Her veins full of 'nanobotic' blood cells were filled with the ever expanding substance that was trying to examine and appraise the 'master' of the ritual.

Like a feverish tidal wave, it filled the private dimension of the soul before getting condensed into a fewer black liquid. After the acknowledgement process was done, the remaining black liquid was reduced into an essence full of information.

Something felt wrong.

MF, with the 'Minor Overseer' ability, saw this and decided to tamper with some of the information sequences within the essence. Despite its weird and unique system, It was a little bit similar to DNA sequence so MF had no problem tinkering with it. Within the whole process of it, MF found a loophole within the system that could benefit her more than someone on the other side that came up with this ritual method.

'So smart, too smart!' MF brought out her devilish grin. 'This ritual is akin like an entity schematic extractor, because the power gets duplicated and then sent again to the performance, it's such a perfect excuse to gather information while doing absolutely nothing in seclusion!'

MF put her brain in overdrive.. Currently, she perceives the world twenty times slower than everyone.
