Tempting Curse

Core

"NO NO NO." Kept screaming Mammon, after she started destroying him bit by bit.

When there was nothing more beside his chest and his head she stopped. "Now, It's time to eat, I wonder how you'll demoniac core will taste like?" she singsong cheerfully.

At her words Mammon only hope was destroyed. He had thought that after she kills him, he would be able to get resurrected in hell, but if she takes his demoniac core he will disappear for good. So, he started begging, throwing his last pride out of the way. "NO, PLEASE NO, I'll do everything you want I'll become your slave, your dog, anything but that." Rhea at that scene was jubilating.

The three brothers were as shocked as Mammon. They couldn't believe their ears. They were one of the titled demons of the underworld, and they knew how important was the core, for their race. Which was more of a shock, when a mere succubus said that she was capable of destroying it or even absorbing it? The danger of absorbing it can cause the demon original core to explode.

"How's is she able to accomplish such task? she's not even a titled demon?" Inquired Chax astonished.

"It looks like in the end, Eligor didn't send us to just a nobody." Zagar replied.

"But she's just a succubus they don't even have their own core when they are born. They only get it after they feed on enough energy and their core is one of the least stable cores in the underworld, how will she be able to handle another one?" Adriel asked.

"Even I don't have the answer to that question, but we'll be able to witness it with our own eyes." stated Zagar.

After enjoying watching him quiver, and lose all rationality she said. "However, now that I think about it, the thought of feeding on you is making me feel like puking."

"Yeah, you right, you are absolutely right, you shouldn't let yourself eat something as disgusting as me" he stated starting to see some hopes again.

She created a cut on her finger and chanted softly "Appear" and from behind her a summoning circle that started to take form. Once it formed, from it appeared two demonic creatures. It was Amon and Botis.

"The last time, you helped me and I didn't reward you, I want to repair that. I'm gifting you with a demoniac core how about it you two are in the mood for a little sweetmeat?" she inquired while looking directly in Mammon eyes as he returned to quivering in fear. On the other hand, Amon and Botis were delighted as their eyes brightened with hunger.

To get a demoniac core meant more power and more prestige. But the only ones capable of that are the strongest demoniac beast who can acquire core by eating their prey or the powerful titled demons who know how to get the demoniac core from other, and it was rare to be gifted a core.

"We would be honored." They both said at the same time.

"Good I because I did not want to dirty myself with this insect energy." She retorted then started chanting as her hand started glowing, ripples flowed out across Mammon's chest as if it were water, she then plunged her hand easily and peaceful inside of his chest.

It was probably the most peaceful moment Mammon had felt in her presence, but as she started to pull her hand, Mammon lost it as he started howling in a frenzy way, which Rhea gave no second thought. When her hand emerged a black string was floating in her hand as Mammon turned to ashes.

"Come here." She ordered and the two creature followed. The string was cut in half as they flew toward their chests and was aspired inside. When the string was fully absorbed into their body Botis had barely any changes beside his wings getting a bit larger as for Amon, he started growing bigger as skin and fur started to emerge on his bony skeleton.
