Aiwass pushed open the unlocked door, followed the flow of magic in the room, and found Lily kneeling in the bathtub.
There is a mist in the bathroom, and there is a billowing heat wave.
That is the ritual called "The Lightless Egg".
In order not to disturb Lily during the ceremony, he did not go out directly.
Aiwass touched the emerald green gem on his chest, and his whole breath turned into nothingness. His body became transparent in the blink of an eye - when he stepped into the bathroom, the moonlight penetrated directly through his body and fell directly on Lily's back.
The broken glass fell to the ground next to the bathtub. Lily's white back has been carved with complex and simple patterns.
A little bit of blood was flowing down her back, but it stained the entire bathtub red. There seemed to be no water in the entire bathtub, only the monstrous sea of blood during the new moon ceremony, and it was steaming visibly to the naked eye, and the steaming white mist made Lily's skin burn red.
The moonlight is like frost that freezes everything, trying to cover the scars and stop the blood from flowing downwards.
She was whimpering softly, making a small, invisible cry.
Her hands seemed to be rinsing something, trying hard to grasp it in front of her, but she couldn't seem to catch it.
Aiwass took two steps forward and saw what it was.
He was immediately startled.
——That was a "baby" that was about to be delivered from Lily's body. It does not look like a human baby, but a bloody piece of flesh with a vague human shape.
Lily’s hand didn’t want to rinse it, nor did she want to strangle it. Instead, he wanted to pull the baby out of his body.
If it were normal, this level of dystocia would probably cause the baby to die.
However, the vitality in Lily's body is continuously being absorbed by the baby - its bloody body surface is rapidly growing skin, and is growing in size at a speed visible to the naked eye. The strong feeling of powerlessness made Lily weak all over, and the baby got stuck on the way.
If this continues, I am afraid that the "baby" will completely drain Lily's life force and crawl out of the withered skin.
Such an evil nature...but also a strange divinity.
Is this the Egg Moon Tantra?
After the new moon is full, it withers and withers, turning into the second new moon...
But Aiwass knows that Lily cannot be allowed to go on like this - this kind of secret involves Ceremony, no wonder she didn't want Sherlock to guard it for her.
"...You should tell me," Aiwass slowly emerged from the void, feeling a little helpless for Lily's stubbornness and silence, "If I had known, I would have asked my sister to come Or let Mrs. Grace come and watch... Do you need my help to pull it out?"
He doesn't dare to treat Lily yet - the blessing may interfere with the ceremony.And his healing ability is too strong, and he may also heal the ritual circle behind Lily. This may also interfere with the ceremony and bring unnecessary danger to Lily.
The sudden appearance of Aiwass did not scare Lily.
Perhaps she had already sensed Aiwass's appearance, or maybe she had known that Aiwass would come.
She just raised her head feebly and glanced at Aiwass, her body dripping with sweat. However, the thirsty lips were slightly opened, half of the tongue was sticking out, and there was some silent desire in the scarlet pupils.
This is... Do you want to drink water?
No, that’s not right——
Aiwass felt a somewhat familiar feeling in his pupils that turned from Lily to scarlet.
...It's like the shadow demon's desire.
Maybe it’s because Lily once signed a contract with Shadow Demon.
Lily now has exactly the same reaction as the Shadow Demon on the way back from Eagle Point Village -
... Has it turned into a phantom?
Lily had mentioned before that she wanted to drink Aiwass' blood during the ceremony.
This might be useful...
So Aiwass thought so and picked up the blood-stained ritual knife that Lily dropped on the ground.
His right hand directly grasped the ceremonial knife - the blade pierced the skin, the bone was visible, and blood dripped.
A strange, intoxicating aroma like fruit wine filled the bathroom. Even Aiwass himself was lost for a moment.
He saw Lily's pupils instantly become hollow, and her body was shaking and twitching violently.
Aiwass put his palm to Lily's mouth.
He looked at Lily with gentle motherly eyes and said softly: "Drink, drink...
"Drink my blood without singing or speaking. "
He murmured softly: "This is our secret, the mark of sin..."
Aiwass's vitality is too strong now, and the cut wound can be seen with the naked eye. It healed quickly and the blood dried up first.
So he simply turned his right hand over, with his palm facing up.
Aiwass picked up the ceremonial knife and stabbed it into his palm. ——Then it was slowly pulled upwards.
Blood spattered and the flesh cracked.
Bright red traces bloomed like trees, spreading upwards with wounds and lines.
The blood flows from top to bottom, turning into dewdrops and dripping down. It falls on the tip of Lily's tall nose, and then drips down into her mouth.
Lily licked Aihua quietly. The blood dripping down from his middle finger looked like a young lamb.
Aiwass took a deep breath, poured his magic power into it, and read out the secret words passed down in the Shepherd's Tantra:
“I am the Holy Communion...
“——This is kindness”
As Aiwass sings, Lily is already gorgeous. The red lines become more alluring.
The baby connected to Lily originally had his eyes open and looked at Aiwass with those weird dark golden pupils.
When Aiwass activated the shepherding method, she struggled hard and crawled out of Lily's body.
After she was completely separated from the body, she began to grow rapidly - growing skin and hair, growing in the wind.
She drank the blood in the bathtub in big gulps, and after she grew up to look like a seven or eight-year-old girl, she lay directly on Lily's body. Lily, on the other hand, still had empty eyes and remained silent without saying a word.
Like a kitten competing for its mother's milk, she squeezed in with her eyes open, making a sharp sound like a cat's meow, and swallowed Aiwass's blood. Her pupils gradually began to grow longer and became even weirder.
Their umbilical cords are still connected, and life force is flowing back and forth from them repeatedly.
She soon grew into a black-haired little girl of thirteen or fourteen years old, and Lily's bloody eyes gradually faded and returned to their original gray color.
The little girl’s eyes turned into blood-red rectangular pupils.
But what makes Aiwass a little uneasy is... those are not human pupils, nor are they vertical pupils full of animality.
——Those are the pupils of a lamb being shepherded.
"Master, I am..."
The little witch who belongs to the path of love murmured vaguely and spoke the first sentence in her life in a childish voice. Words: "I am...Selene."
"I am your lamb." "
...Huh?
Wait a minute...
Is there still something wrong with the ceremony?
Or, this situation Is this normal?
Looking at Lily who was still silent, Aiwass's uneasiness reached its highest point.
