Extra Demon: Sacred Academy of Light

"You must stay calm...," Arthur said as he looked into my eyes, a deep worry showing on his face. He placed a hand on my head, gently stroking it...

"It's very comforting," I thought to myself... with a small smile on my lips, I nodded, saying, "Yes." Though I didn't quite understand why he said those words just as I was about to be teleported, I felt happy knowing he cared about me. Yet I also felt a sadness, realizing I would hear his voice in my ears again...

"I'll do it quickly," she said to herself as she watched Arthur slowly walk away... Entering the small room, she looked at a young woman.

"Let's begin," she said as she started explaining how to use the regression stone... Moments later, she appeared in a different place.

"This place is a hell... but! The hotter, the better! Don't you think?" A woman with dark red hair laughed wildly, stretching out her hands. Seas of flames spread in all directions, leaving burnt trees and layers of ash in their wake. Amidst this fiery chaos stood Evelyn... Her armor had melted onto the ground due to the intense heat, and her face was dirty with ash. Thankfully, most of her clothes were fire-resistant... She was angry... her eyes glowing a vivid red as she clenched her fists tightly...

"I don't understand you, young human! You have the blessing of fire! And yet, you refuse to use it to its fullest!" The demon's eyes turned green with envy as she looked furiously at the young human, gritting her teeth. A red substance covered her entire body, and flames rose high into the sky, forming an egg around her. The egg condensed, forming a red earth with lines of magma. Seconds later, this egg began to pulse and fall apart...

Behind that layer of molten earth stood the demon... completely transformed. Her appearance was no longer human; she had two black wings on her back, her body had grown slightly, and her figure had become slimmer. Her claws turned red, but the most drastic changes were in her face and skin... she had scales, almost like some kind of lizard with a long tail swaying behind her. Fangs protruded from her lips, and her eyes had turned reptilian... with a twisted smile: "Welcome to hell!"

BOOMMM!!!

Large pieces of earth flew through the sky, falling to the ground with thunderous crashes, reshaping the land. Evelyn looked around with darkened eyes, extending her hands... "[Fire Rain]" Her hands glowed as if aflame, turning red, the sky became crimson, and the clouds evaporated. Behind them, a cloud made of flames appeared, from which large red drops fell to the ground...

"It's beautiful! So beautiful!" The demon's eyes shone with admiration and devotion as the drops fell onto her body... Her body trembled in pain as she hugged herself... "The blessing... of fire... it's so warm..." she put on a crazed smile as she spread her wings... "Fire Spear!"

****

"Don't stop!!" The demon opened her palms, and two large fireballs shot out like projectiles at maximum speed...

BOOMM!!! BOOOMM!!!

Touching the ground with her hands, Evelyn's eyes glowed. A wall of fire rose from the ground, trying to shield her from the demon's relentless attacks. She looked down at the ground, which was boiling with lava; her feet were in it, yet she didn't burn, didn't feel pain, felt nothing. Her flesh did not scorch even in contact with the magma... "I'm tired..." she murmured to herself...

Her eyes wandered everywhere, but it was all the same, a sea of magma... the whole forest, not even ash remained, nothing was left, everything was burned, everything consumed by flames, everything destroyed by flames; it always was this way, and it always will be... Closing her eyes, she listened... I am used to my own voice echoing in my ears: "Burn it all," they say, they always say the same thing...

*****

Silent, cold, and empty, as this place always was, my soul, my safe place, you could say. Here the delusions stop, a little at least, but they are still constant... I sat on the ground, hugging my own knees...

Tink... Tink...

Behind Evelyn, the sound of chains clashing reached her ears... over time, the sound of the chains only grew louder. Evelyn pursed her lips and turned around... Her eyes fixed on the beautiful Seraph, who was moving slowly, her eyes open, staring directly at Evelyn...

Evelyn looked back at her; her eyes... were from another world... they seemed to be made of tiny crystals of red, yellow, and orange colors... all those tiny crystals combined to form her eyes, which were very beautiful. Her eight wings... feathers of the same colors as her eyes spread in all directions, seeming endless as they shone like the sun itself... Evelyn stood in silence, gazing at the Seraph...

"She is awake..." she thought to herself... every time she came to this place, she found her with her eyes closed as if in a deep sleep... she had only seen her awake twice, once when she killed her father, and now...

Looking at the chains around her body, the Seraph gave a small smile... "Is it my turn?" she asked, looking at the young woman before her... Evelyn lowered her head and remained silent... her body trembled with fear, and she closed her eyes... They were the same words she had said five years ago... exactly the same words...

"No..." she said weakly... she didn't want the same thing to happen, didn't want to repeat it, she was afraid...

Tink... Tink... Tink... Tink...

"You cannot avoid it... you will not be able to," the Seraph's melodious voice echoed even more strongly in my soul, the chains shaking with force...

Bang!!!

One chain fell to the ground...

Bang!!! Bang!!! Bang!!! Bang!!! Bang!!! Bang!!! Bang!!! Bang!!!

Hundreds of chains fell to the ground... all of them fell to the ground...

With her head on the floor, Evelyn could only... do nothing... she could do nothing to stop it... she was weak...

Hearing footsteps approaching her position... she raised her head, looking at her, seeing her in all her splendor...

She was about 10 meters tall... her eight wings behind her back glowing faintly, with a white robe around her body. The Seraph looked down, extending her hand toward Evelyn, lifting her up slowly: "Leave it to me... I will take care of all your problems..."
