The maiden knelt on the ground.
Some eerie black substance stained her fair thighs.
An ice-blue tail coiled around her waist, capturing Elsa and drawing her even closer to Tina’s delicate body.
The demonification array had already been completed.
Purple light emanated from the strange runes, illuminating the maiden’s fair skin.
“Ha, this kind of thing…”
Elsa’s body had initially resisted.
But as her mind submitted, her body followed suit and yielded to the power enveloping her.
Almost instantly, her body grew weak, like the fatigue after waking from a long dream.
Yet it had become far more sensitive than before—she could even clearly feel the currents of air around her.
The special dark mana of demonification began surging in from all directions.
Elsa carefully experienced this unique power and discovered that it possessed both the qualities of magic and the characteristics of shadow.
Dark mana seemed to be a fusion of shadow and magic to some degree, becoming the source that nourished demons.
For a moment, she understood something, but without having witnessed the revival of the demon race, she couldn’t draw a definitive conclusion.
“Come, Elsa,” Tina offered a partial explanation.
“I learned this from Lady Gabriella. This way, we can be together forever.”
Elsa’s body swayed.
The warmth rising from her lower abdomen made her look down at the tail still wrapped around her waist.
Tina was clearly very happy, and her tail was particularly lively.
It was adorable.
“Elsa, does it feel uncomfortable?” Tina hugged her waist.
Her somewhat restless hands seemed to be gauging Elsa’s emotions, testing whether she could still accept this sensation.
“No… of course not.” Elsa shook her head vigorously.
“It’s not uncomfortable at all. It just… reminded me of some things from the past.”
“You used to be a Heavenly Oracle Envoy, right?”
“Mhm.”
Elsa nodded.
She suddenly recalled the feeling of being dominated by shadow in the past.
Back then, she had been controlled by an evil god.
Although she hadn’t fallen to become an apostle, that shudder-inducing sensation had still been branded into her soul like a mark.
Moreover, she didn’t remember how she had died.
She only had memories of the period after being controlled by the evil god.
At that time, after being controlled and returned to the side of the Heavenly Oracle Envoys, the evil god had released its control, allowing her to return to them.
Having nearly become an apostle had made many Heavenly Oracle Envoys fear her.
A small number had even grown wary of her—especially her older sister Gabriella.
At that time, Gabriella had already lost so much.
Her face showed no emotion, but the gentleness in her eyes had been completely burned away by pain and struggle.
Yet she had still shone so brightly.
After that, she couldn’t remember anything else.
She had never told her sister about this…
She didn’t know what the future held for the Heavenly Oracle Envoys, nor what her own fate would be.
This was merely one of the reasons she was afraid.
Tina was a companion she could rely on, a girl she liked.
Can she accept me?
Being eroded by dark mana, having her body invaded by an existence of the same origin as “shadow”—yet it had never felt so painful.
How strange.
Ahh…
Suddenly, Tina pushed her down onto the ground, bracing her hands on the floor on either side of Elsa’s head as if wanting to pin her firmly in place.
Then, without hesitation, she kissed her.
This entanglement and intimacy were nothing like the light, fleeting kisses from before.
When she pulled away, Tina didn’t wipe away the glistening liquid at the corner of her mouth.
Instead, her face flushed as she licked it all up.
“Elsa, you’re so unfair. You said we’d fall together, but you’re still hesitating? In that case, let me help you?”
“After all, you’re the Heavenly Oracle Envoy. I don’t want to do this alone.”
“I’m sorry.”
Tina was very worked up.
These were the emotions she had been hiding—she felt wronged.
Therefore, Elsa wouldn’t refuse her.
She didn’t know if this was for the sake of shadow or for Elsa herself.
The magic within her body that symbolized protection against magic power dissipated, signifying that she had completely lowered her guard against the shadow.
The purity and holiness of her body were being taken away bit by bit.
Darkness was being poured in, transforming her into something else.
“I’m sorry, Tina… Mmm…”
However, Tina seemed to have already sunk deeply into it.
Although she hadn’t fully demonified yet, the array was eroding her as well.
She would fall first—and that was exactly what happened.
Tina’s greedy eyes gazed at her as if wanting to suck out her very soul.
Yet Elsa felt that it was warm and incredibly comfortable.
Tina was like an excited little demon beast.
She first grabbed her ankle, then that blue tail—first hooking it, then her leg…
If this continued, Elsa felt her mind would start to go strange.
In fact, at the beginning, she had only been teasing.
There was still plenty of hesitation in her movements.
Sensing that Elsa wasn’t resisting, a trace of expectation and dependence even appeared on her flushed face…
Then, all reservations and doubts were thrown to the wind, leaving only an even sweeter, more passionate impression of Elsa.
“Ha… Elsa?”
“I… I’m fine. Please… Tina… Oh…”
Elsa’s voice didn’t sound like she was refusing at all.
The longer it went on, the less pain and hesitation showed on Elsa’s face.
At this point, Tina also tried to gather the small amount of shadow within her body and transmit it into the delicate form that had already been infused with her demonification magic.
This was the reward known as the [Gift].
Elsa’s body twitched slightly.
The faint struggle only aroused more of Tina’s desire to dominate.
The Heavenly Oracle Envoy girl wanted to let out more shameful sounds, but they were quickly sealed by Tina’s lips, all pushed back into her own mouth.
A sense of shame, of being conquered, and a whole series of other feelings surged back into her body.
They echoed and spread through her, reaching every corner.
She wanted to make noise but was blocked by Tina again.
In the end, it all transformed into continuous, delicate gasps.
She savored the aftertaste of being remodeled by the dark mana with her own body.
Elsa’s eyes were vacant.
She wanted to open her mouth to breathe in more fresh air, but what she inhaled was still that intoxicating scent coming from Tina.
It reminded her of the two of them caressing each other in bed.
Yet what followed made it impossible for her to find even a shred of reason within the chaos in her mind.
Finally, her body gradually began to move in rhythm with hers, going with the flow.
In a miserable, gasping cry, she completely surrendered.
“Ah, I like it… I like Tina~ I like you so much…”
“I love you too, Elsa~”
The two maidens embraced each other tightly.
The dark mana flowing through the magic array released an even more eerie glow.
The shadows beneath the girls began to boil as well.
Tentacles resembling dark waves surged like a tsunami, engulfing the pair in darkness.
Their delicate bodies, accompanied by the erosion, sank along with their consciousness into a pitch-black ocean.
The love nearly made Elsa overlook the changes happening to her body.
She didn’t know what she would be transformed into, but at the very least, when she woke up, she would no longer be human, no longer a Heavenly Oracle Envoy, but something else entirely.
