Chapter 752: Raising Demons
🕑 Added 2023-05-09 08:08:29 +0000 UTC"My first girl was my personal maid. She was given to me by the family. She was a very talented witch, one year younger than me!" The skeleton screamed. “Just a month before I went to school in Beauxbatons, I took her..."
Sirius took out the Healing Potion he was carrying, while listening to the skeleton going on and on about the women he had been with in the past, from that poor little maid to the schoolgirls of Beauxbatons, the innocent Muggle girls, and the famous ladies of the pure-blood wizard families.
Even by the standards of the Muggle aristocracy hundreds of years ago, this guy had lived quite the life. He seemed to know the way to a girl’s heart, and obviously, magic had helped him quite a bit.
Sirius did not, however, care about any of that. He was more concerned about the fact that the skeleton did not seem to intend to prevent him from treating himself.
That made him feel very bad. It meant that the skeleton was confident enough to not care about his strength.
Immediately afterwards, Sirius thought of Evan. Where did he go?!!
"This skeleton was already a perverted scumbag before his death!" said Hélène angrily, blushing.
Unlike Sirius, she listened very carefully. When she heard it describe how he abused magic to get into the bed of an innocent Muggle girl, she couldn't help but get angry. If Sirius hadn’t stopped her, she was really about to try to teach it a hard lesson, no longer caring about her strange surroundings.
"The girls’ blood had strong magical power within it, so I quickly became strong and became the best among wizards of my age. But it was not enough. I needed to be stronger. As an ancient pure-blood wizard family, my family had many secrets, one of which was the rearing of demons." The skeleton continued, in that weird tone, "This is very powerful and evil Dark magic. No one had ever succeeded at executing before me, for none of them could find a perfect carrier for demons to live on earth."
"However, I found her, hahaha. I didn't expect that I would be so lucky. My fiancee, Ariane, is such a woman, an excellent witch who can satisfy me in more ways than one could imagine… Oh, she could even satisfy the devil!"
"Ariane?!" Sirius murmured, thinking of the spooky woman who had appeared in the mirror.
"She was my classmate at Beauxbatons, the mistress of this castle, her family was the magical guardian family in Burgundy, and important allies of our family," said the skeleton, shaking vigorously. "Of course, of course, that was not important. In my eyes, she was just my pet devil in the making. She was the source of my power. Under my training, she gradually fell, turned bloodthirsty, promiscuous and cruel, laying with different men and meeting the devil's requirements in all aspects..."
Unlike before, what followed became more and more shocking.
"Shortly after my graduation, I went to Egypt to do something according to my family's orders. On that trip, I met a girl named Shukrya. She was a witch doctor of an ancient tribe. Unlike witches, it was a very strange magical power." The skeleton paused for a moment, and then gave out a loud laugh. "Of course, what caught my attention was the girl's looks. She was very beautiful... the most beautiful woman I had ever seen. I thought that perhaps she could become a carrier of a new devil."
"It only took a few sweet words for her to fall in love with me very quickly. I brought her back to the castle and gave her to the devil. However, the ancient shaman power that she had stopped the process. The devil couldn't approach her and even felt disgusted. She was no longer of use to me," The skeleton was shaking on the wall, making loud clicks and bangs. "Although I didn't mind having one more slave, her tribe was very strong, and I didn't want to get into meaningless trouble. So, I was going to let her go and allow her to get away from here."
It paused for a while, as blood dripped from a human corpse tethered to the iron chain above, dropped on it, and splattered.
"I told her that I didn't love her anymore, that I was tired of her, that she should go, and that I never wanted to see her again. Yet, she did not leave. I think she was really hopelessly in love with me. It was really foolish. I was going to kick this stupid woman away, but she discovered the secret in the castle, and found out the fact that Ariane had become a devil. She came to tell me, so I could no longer let her go!"
"So, what did you do to her?" Sirius gradually grasped the point of the matter!
What this ugly skeleton said seemed to be the true secret hidden behind the Owl Fortress, and the root of evil in this castle.
"Before I could take action, the woman secretly used a strong Love Potion on me, rendering me unable to disobey her wishes. She wanted to take me back to her tribe… back to that wild and backward place." There was a little anger in the voice of the skeleton, and its trembles became more intense. "She didn't know the truth, and thought she was saving me. It was foolish. Thanks to Ariane's men, who found me and undid the Love Potion, we locked her in a dungeon, tortured her and prepared to sacrifice her soul to the devil. But that was a mistake... a fatal and terrible mistake. I didn't expect that she could make poison while tied. She poisoned many people in the castle, and they all died overnight..."
"That Shukrya… she simply poisoned the people inside the castle?!" Hélène asked in fear.
"Yes, even me!" The skeleton yelled harshly. "That’s how I died… I died for NOTHING, it was all because of that foolish woman, all her, and I must take revenge. My soul is attached to the devil. I controlled Ariane to kill everyone in the castle, including her parents, brothers and sisters, relatives and even herself. But this was not enough. I wanted to find the woman … the stupid woman who ruined EVERYTHING..."
The skeleton screamed, making a lot of noise, and it didn't stop until a cold voice interrupted it.
"Honey, what are you arguing about?" It was a woman's voice.
Sirius instantly recognized Ariane's voice, the witch who had sent them here.
"You're awake, my darling!" The skeleton turned quickly, facing the mirror next to it. "It's no big deal. I'm talking to two dead people and recalling the past. You know how much I like that!"
