Chereads / Eclipsed Desire(R18) / Chapter 5 - Chapter 5: Mutation

Chapter 5 - Chapter 5: Mutation

The Contract Ritual is set in the central Temple of the Holy See. Unlike the resplendent cathedral, the Temple is dimly lit, with a beam of sunlight streaming through the stained glass window above the giant statue, casting light upon the Altar in the center. Priests dressed in white stand in a circle around, chanting the Hymn to the God of Light.

According to the procedure, the selected Priest must carve a Sigil onto the Witch under the protection of others, completing the Purification ritual, thereby officially establishing the master-servant relationship.

Arabella walks into the Temple accompanied by Vivienne Nun, her pure white gauzy gown making her look like a sacred bride. She approaches the Altar, and a nearby Priest steps forward to make her lie down on the Altar, using the locks on the Altar to secure her hands and feet, fixing her body in a cruciform position on the Altar.

Knowing what will soon happen to her, Arabella feels despair and closes her eyes in anguish.

A young Priest enters the Temple through another door, approaching the girl locked to the Altar. Clive, the Priest, shows a clear expression of disappointment.

Although he ranks lowest in his class with little room for selection, the Witch assigned to him is just too ugly. With a thin frame and body marked by mottled scars, even her hair is patchy, resembling an unsightly mangy dog.

Clive feels that this Witch is too ugly for him to proceed. Among the new Witches, his favorite is Eugenia; unfortunately, with his grades, he is not worthy of her and can only try to please Eugenia's master, hoping that someday he may have the chance to experience the taste of a goddess.

As he thinks of Eugenia's snowy soft chest and then glances at the ugly Witch before him, the young Priest feels that fate is unfair to him. But the ritual cannot be interrupted; he resigns himself to untying Arabella's gown, tearing the veil apart, and fully exposing her body. Closing his eyes, after all, she is a woman, and using her to relieve his desires is still acceptable. He thinks that if necessary, he could always kill her later and find another.

The feeling of being naked in front of everyone made Arabella's whole body tremble, and the piercing fear rose again, and she couldn't help but struggle, but she was bound by the lock and couldn't move. The figure of the young Priest coincided with something in her mind, her legs were forced to spread wide, the pain of her lower body tearing was piercing, she couldn't breathe, every hole in her body was stretched open, she was forced to endure a never-ending invasion, pain and humiliation constantly pounding her brain.

Clive felt that the Witch below him was reacting a little too much, and he just kneaded her boobs a few times and made her close her eyes and frown, sweating profusely, moaning and struggling violently. He pressed the doppelganger against the girl's open hole, intending to quickly complete the task, but neither of their bodies was fully aroused, and the doppelganger who had not yet fully erected was difficult to advance in the dry tunnel for half a minute after squeezing into a head.

 As Priest poked the girl's lower body in a disorderly manner, a strange touch came from the palm of the hand placed on her chest, and it seemed as if a foreign object was wriggling in her body, pushing the skin into a strange bulge. Arabella's whole body convulsed violently, and her body, which had been held in place of her hands and feet, twisted into an eerie position, and her bones clicked all over her body.

"Quickly, Contract!" The Guardian Priest also began to sense that something was off.

Clive hurriedly cut his hand, pressing his bloodied palm against Arabella. The moment it made contact with the Priest's blood, the girl suddenly opened her eyes, her originally human hazel eyes transforming into beast-like vertical pupils, gleaming with dazzling golden light.

Demonization!

A heavy silence fell over everyone present.

Massive bony spikes, like insect appendages, burst through her back, six spikes lunging towards the already stunned young Priest. Just as they were about to pierce him, a large hand grabbed Clive by the collar and flung him backwards, avoiding the spikes' attack.

The burly Red-haired Man shielded the Priest behind him, adopting a defensive stance, his tightly clenched fists gradually turning to stone, becoming two hard giant hammers.

Arabella's body continued to change; the iron chains binding her hands and feet were easily broken, and her limbs' bones tore through the original skin, continuously elongating. Finally, like a butterfly breaking free from its cocoon, a slender-limbed Demon covered in white bone emerged from the old skin, stretching its six enormous bony spikes behind its back.

"Contract Ritual failed, eliminate the Demon!"

With the command of the Guardian Priest, the towering man charged towards Arabella like an arrow, his giant fist crashing down with a whistling wind. The white Demon that Arabella transformed into leapt back swiftly, the marble Altar beneath her instantly shattering from the impact of the giant fist.

More attacks followed in succession, various orbs of light flashing toward Arabella from different directions. The white Demon jumped and flipped in the air, wielding its bone spikes to fend off wave after wave of assaults. The skeletal claws possessed tremendous leaping ability; the bone spikes penetrated the wall, and like a giant spider, it scurried up to the dome, breaking through the stained glass and leaping out of the Temple.
