"...Mama Grimm...what is that?" Azazel asks confusedly as she observes a jar I'm holding.
"...Daughter, this is a gift I recently received. I was sealing it in this jar so it wouldn't spoil," I say with an imnse smile.
"It slls like Mama Pandoru, is it from Mama Pandoru? Did she give you a present too?" She asks, confused and curious.
"Ah yes, it's definitely from Pandora. Well, it's not exactly a 'present,' but it did co from her," I say without holding back the excitent in my voice. This here is Pandora's arm I randomly received it.
Of course, it wasn't unexpected. I see the future, so I know she created a spell and sacrificed her arm in exchange for a temporary increase in her ability to manipulate blood.
And of course, the mont she sacrificed sothing for a being that exists, it's normal for that sothing to be sent to the being she sacrificed sothing of herself to through the magic. And since her magic was to sacrifice sothing for , I ended up receiving her arm.
Although what arrived was just a pool of deford flesh and blood. The arm couldn't withstand the instability of the magic, so it beca completely deford, turning into this "porridge" of flesh and blood that I stored in several jars. The most update n0vels are published on N()velFire
"Daughter, doesn't this bother you to see?" I ask curiously, bringing the jar closer to her. She looks confused.
"No?" When she says no, I feel slightly happy.
'I see...the hybridization seems to have broken the perfect genetics of Pandora's race.' Pandora would never want to see a fresh piece of flesh from the Goddess of the Abyss. Seeing a detached piece of the mother's body while it's still fresh ans that she is wounded.
But for Azazel, even seeing Pandora's fresh blood and flesh doesn't have that automatic association. Which is good, because as a vampire who even feeds on my blood, she doesn't have the sa understanding of wounds that Pandora has in relation to family mbers.
'Of course, she would be like .' I caress Azazel's head as I open the jar to conduct tests.
"Sll, daughter. What do you feel when you sll this?" I say, placing the jar right near her nose. The first reaction is her pupils contracting as she sniffs the blood.
"It has a good sll, and it slls like Mama Pandoru," she responds, still without showing any disgust.
'Would she...eat it?' The basic food of vampires is blood, and it is natural for the mother to feed the child with her own blood in so situations, although I have milk and milk serves in the beginning, I also give my blood to Azazel for her to eat.
That's why I'm curious, have her vampire instincts overco the natural repulsion of Pandora's race to eat parts of the "mother"? Pandora herself feels ill and can't really swallow a piece of the Goddess of the Abyss.
So, what about my daughter? She is of the sa race, but only has half of Pandora's genes, being only half a Tenebris Abyssus.
"Do you feel strange when you sll or see this?"
"No, it's just Mama Pandoru's blood, right?" She says, and I agree.
"Do you want to try a little?" I ask, offering the jar to her. For a mont I see hesitation in her gaze, but in the end, the instinct of a vampire speaks louder.
"I want to!" She says with a big smile as I offer the jar to her, which she eagerly holds. Anyway, this is just one of the 10 jars I have of this.
If she drinks it all, it's no problem, I'll still have 9 more, after all, it's a whole arm that gave a lot of blood and flesh.
"..." Azazel quickly tilts the jar to her mouth and starts drinking, while I watch. If she starts to feel sick, I'll pass out and use magic to clean her stomach.
"Hmmm" She finishes drinking the entire jar in seconds, and nothing seems different.
"How do you feel, daughter?"
"It was delicious! But your blood is better," she leaves surprised by this statent, I even feel a little embarrassed since it's the first ti I've really surpassed Pandora in sothing.
"G-Great, daughter," I grab her in a hug and lift her as I start to take her with .
"Why did Mama Pandoru give you her blood?" She asks, letting her childish curiosity show.
"Ah, daughter, she didn't really give her blood. She made an exchange, you're learning about magic, right? Rember what I showed you about non-elental magics related to organic matter?" Pandora never learned this concept, and it's important for blood magic, among others of its kind.
"Oh, the one that says magics that are literally organic matter are always connected to sothing living, and we can sacrifice things to temporarily increase the capabilities of sothing?" She summarizes it very poorly.
'Haa...I'll have to put her to study more intensely.'
"Almost, daughter. It happens that magics of this type are generally already connected to a 'greater' being, 100% of everything that exists is connected to the primordial goddess, who is your grandmother."
"But just because everything is connected to her doesn't an that lesser beings don't also have great connections to specific elents."
"In the case of blood magic, I'm the being with the highest degree of affinity and control that exists, and naturally, because of the great power I have, anyone who uses blood magic, if they want to, can use my influence to have more power."
"So if they're using blood magic, they can sacrifice things to in exchange for a temporary power boost, think of it as a vein through which blood flows."
"In exchange for receiving sothing, I give sothing in return, it happens automatically, but it's very useful for receiving certain types of 'donations,' like in Pandora's case, who gave sothing of hers in exchange for more control over the blood."
"It's so confusing," she says, pouting, not understanding.
'...'
"Daughter, you know that Pandora is the demon king, right?"
"Yes!! Mama Pandoru is a king!" She imdiately gets excited.
"Exactly, she is a king...but because she is a demon king, and a daughter of the Abyss, she naturally has affinity with any elent or magic...but even she has elents that she can naturally extract more power from."
"Oh, really?"
"Yes, and since Pandora is also a...goddess, she ends up having the sa thing I have with the blood elent, that is, if you sacrifice sothing in Pandora's na, you'll be able to use chaos magic more easily." Pandora doesn't even know this.
But if soone wants to use chaos magic, they can make a sacrifice by sending sothing to Pandora in exchange for receiving this power boost in the chaos elent. It's automatic, so Pandora will only notice if soone does it.
"OHHHH!!" Azazel makes a look of complete surprise followed by a cute little smile that shows her fangs.
"That's so amazing!" She says, all excited.
"More or less, daughter. Yes, it's amazing that Pandora already has influence over the entire chaos elent..." The Goddess of the Abyss also has it, and the Goddess of the Abyss can provide much more power than Pandora can currently, so it's not even worth sacrificing things to Pandora, depending on what you want.
Sacrificing things to the Goddess of the Abyss is more expensive, but will give more power, while sacrificing things to Pandora is cheaper, but will give much less power, so it's all a matter of necessity.
"Daughter, sacrificing things just to use a little more of an elent is not a good thing, it's practically a last resort used in life-or-death situations." The cost is always horrible.
"It's very costly depending on what you want, and sotis the sacrifice is sothing that will cause you problems in the future, depending on your race." Pandora, for example, just got very lucky that her race has a lot of regeneration.
If it was any other race, Pandora could never have regenerated that arm, but as a Tenebris Abyssus and her race naturally has high regeneration, she was able to recover the arm, erging only with permanent damage due to the disrupted mana path.
Unfortunately, even I can't heal that, since it's not a wound to the body. If I could heal Pandora, I could blackmail her to do many things.
'Damn, I have so much bad luck...' Unfortunately, when Pandora was wounded in that bed, I couldn't go there to see her and take advantage of the situation, because I don't like leaving Azazel far from .
But I also couldn't let Azazel see Pandora or she would lose control, this also reminds that I'm extrely angry with Pandora.
'That bitch is throwing that obsessive spoiled behavior at my daughter' I bite so hard that it makes a loud cracking sound, as if tal was scraping against tal.
"M-Mama?" Azazel says, looking at my face. I give her a small smile, trying to hide my anger as my fingers close tightly.
"It's nothing, daughter..." Eclipsya is obviously obsessed with my daughter, and Pandora, instead of stopping her, is encouraging her.
'Damn, Pandora is selling my daughter to her other daughter!! What a pathetic mother!! How dare she!' It's not like Eclipsya wouldn't be an adequate partner, both in nobility and in race, Eclipsya would be a good partner for Azazel.
However, still...I feel a damn jealousy of that brat who is planning to steal my daughter from in the future.
I see the future and understand that Pandora, as the mother of the two, can't really choose a side, so she just threw the problem into the future to let the two resolve it, without caring about the fact that Eclipsya wants to steal Azazel from .
'This won't end like this, Pandora! I'll make you regret this decision! I'll make you apologize and maybe even cry apologizing for making this stupid decision!' One way or another, I'll make Pandora pay for encouraging Eclipsya to try to be with Azazel.
She could at least have set clearer limits, but all she said was to wait until the two were adults! Implying that Eclipsya can do whatever she wants to steal Azazel from .
'I don't accept that your daughter wants to steal my daughter!' I already feel angry just imagining that gloomy brat calling my cute Azazel "wife."
Azazel, noticing my anger, caresses my face as I pretend to be calm. Normally I would eliminate the source of my anger, but Eclipsya is Pandora's daughter, and if I kill her without a doubt, Pandora will end our marriage and hate irreversibly.
'Damn, it's so horrible to love Pandora as much as it's good to love her, she fills with these confusing feelings.' I love her a lot, but it's precisely because I love her so much that my life has beco this ss.
"Daughter, promise that when you get married, you won't leave aside!" I say to Azazel, who looks at confused, not understanding my motherly jealousy, but still gives a sweet smile.
"I promise, Mama~!" She says sweetly, which helps to partially dispel my anger.
