Lillith - Chapter 30 - The Beginning of Restoration

Hello! I know, I know... it's been a long time since I last posted. Unfortunately, work was taking up almost all of my time, and when I finally had some free time, something happened that turned my life upside down—I just didn’t have the mental energy to write...
But... luckily, I think that phase has passed, and I managed to find a bit of free time again!
To make up for the time without posting, I made this chapter a little longer than usual.
In this chapter, we’ll be introducing a new character! This character was inspired by someone from a famous franchise—let’s see if anyone can guess who the inspiration is!
Yes, I know, it’s been a looooooong time without any castrations—don’t worry, they’ll return in a future chapter. I want to include them in moments that have a big impact on the story! But! I still believe we’ve got some great bust moments in this chapter!
Anyway… let’s show some signs of life in the comments! I get so discouraged when there are no comments on the posts… comment something! I’ll reply to all of them as soon as I can!!!

Thank you for your attention, and enjoy the story!

While Emma and Lillith waited for Armand and Luminar to stop crying, Lillith made herself comfortable at a wooden table in the center of the cabin. She rested her arms and gave Yu a curious look.

“So... since we’re stuck here until those two can walk again without groaning, why don’t you tell us a bit more about yourself?” Lillith asked, a teasing smile playing on her lips.

Yu sighed. Without saying a word, she walked over to the table and stood in front of Lillith. Slowly, with deliberate movement, she lifted her large, heavy breasts and let them drop onto the wood with a soft *thump*. She exhaled again, as if she’d just set down a heavy burden, and looked Lillith directly in the eyes.

“You're way too curious, you know that?”

Lillith smiled, tilting her head slightly. “Armand and Luminar almost had their balls turned into mashed potatoes. It's gonna take a while before they can stand up... I figured we could chat a little.”

Emma, seated a bit farther away, looked up and nodded. She was just as interested.

Yu rolled her eyes, then looked at Emma before deciding to speak. “Alright... where do I even start... I left the magic academy a long time ago. They even offered me a teaching position there.” She chuckled. “But I turned it down.”

Emma looked surprised. “They wanted you to teach?”

Yu made an exaggerated face. “Can you imagine? Spending years training some guy to be a halfway-decent sorcerer... and then in his very first duel…”

She clicked her tongue, extending her index finger and curling her middle finger like a leg kicking.

“Pop! And just like that, he’s no longer a wizard.”

Emma scoffed. “So dramatic…”

Lillith raised a brow, thoughtful. “Kind of theatrical, don’t you think?”

Yu gave a wry smile. “That’s what happens when your power depends on something so... fragile. One good kick, a well-placed knee, and poof. Magic career over, right there on the floor, writhing in pain.”

Emma turned her face away, visibly uncomfortable. Lillith tried to stifle a laugh.

Yu then leaned back in the chair. “I’ve always been a bit of a kleptomaniac... so since I wasn’t going to be a teacher — which, by the way, pays *really* well — I had to find another way.”

“Like what?” Lillith asked.

Yu pointed to a shelf in the corner. “I found out I could sell rare potion ingredients. And *that*, let me tell you, is real profit.”

She got up and walked over to the shelf, her hips swaying with each step. She picked up a small vial filled with a vivid blue liquid and returned to the table.

“Take this, for example.”

The two girls leaned in, curious. Emma moved closer, mesmerized by the glow of the liquid.

“When a man shows up at my door begging for this… I know I’ve got rent covered for the next four months.”

“What?!” Emma exclaimed. “It’s *that* rare?”

Yu burst into laughter. “Rare?”

She walked to a dark wooden cabinet and opened a door. Inside, dozens of identical vials were neatly lined up on the shelves. Lillith and Emma’s eyes went wide.

“They’re not rare at all,” Yu continued. “But the men who *need* it… oh, they’ll pay anything.”

“Okay, but what is it?” Lillith asked, clearly intrigued.

Yu returned to the table, spinning the vial between her fingers. “It’s an elixir that can rebuild a testicle.”

“WHAT?!” Emma and Lillith yelled in unison.

“That’s even possible?!” Lillith added, stunned.

Yu nodded calmly. “Yes. But only if the damage is... controlled. The shape has to still be intact. If it’s already been turned into mush... then it’s too late.”

She looked straight at Lillith with a provocative smile.

“That’s why, if you ever hear a ‘pop’... make sure to squeeze just a little more. Grind it, you know? Just to be sure there’s nothing left to fix.”

Lillith felt a shiver of excitement run down her spine.

Yu spun the vial again. “This stuff can even take away all the pain from a man who got kicked there… in just two seconds.”

Both women simultaneously turned their heads toward Armand and Luminar, still lying on the floor, breathless and unmoving, lost in their agony. Then they looked back at Yu.

She shrugged, laughing. “Oh... they couldn’t afford even 1% of what I’d charge! Hahaha!”

---

After a few hours, Armand, Lillith, Emma, and Luminar left Yu’s cabin. Of course, that only happened after Yu made the two men pay for her “services,” and, as expected, the entire negotiation was done with her hands on their balls.

After the deal was sealed, a portal was opened — the same kind used earlier to send the twins back to the school. A magical purple glow expanded in the air, revealing a translucent path back to the academy.

With not much else to say, the four of them stepped through the portal.

As soon as they set foot on the school grounds again, the atmosphere changed. The magical grass at the entrance rippled with the gentle wind, and the sky was clear, with a few floating visual enchantments in the air. But Armand had little time to take in the scene. In a red blur, he saw a figure rushing toward him. The impact was immediate — something soft and crushing enveloped him.

"Finally, you're back! Ugh, I missed you so much!"
Seraphina cried out, hugging him tightly, her long scarlet hair flowing as her breasts pressed hard against Armand's chest.

Armand froze, caught off guard by the pleasant surprise.

Seraphina, all smiles with her eyes closed, opened them again only to see Emma staring at her like a mortal enemy. Lillith and Luminar exchanged confused looks. The energy in the air shifted.

Seraphina realized what she was doing. She quickly stepped away from Armand, adjusted her hair and dress, and straightened up, though her face was still visibly flushed.

"I mean... the school missed you. Luminar is our nurse, and whether I like it or not, finding a replacement was hell. And Armand is one of our best teachers... that's all... really..."

Armand gave a small smile.
"Good morning, Seraphina."

Then he looked to the side, and the smile vanished instantly.

"Oh... hi, Morgana."

Morgana was sitting on a nearby bench, with a forced smile on her face. She lazily waved a hand.

"Anyway... I know you just got back, but we have some things to take care of!"
Seraphina started, adjusting her posture.

"Armand, let's talk about your upcoming classes. Since your students missed quite a lot, we need to review the material. Emma, Lillith, you can go to your dorms. Take the day off! You'll get a grade boost for this mission. Luminar, take the ingredients you got and, together with the new nurse, prepare the potion to heal Esmeralda and the twins."

Each of them followed the instructions. Lillith and Emma headed to their dorms. Armand followed Seraphina to the principal's office.

Luminar, meanwhile, carefully holding Kurenai’s ribbons inside a magic bag, walked toward the infirmary.

The hallway leading to the infirmary was silent, and something felt off. When he arrived, Luminar noticed the lights were off, and the curtains were closed.

He frowned.

It felt like he was opening the infirmary for the first time that day. The problem? It was already ten in the morning, and the infirmary should’ve been open since eight.

Walking in slowly, he began pulling open the curtains that separated the beds. He needed to place his things on the table. As he did, he stopped.

Two long horns rested on the surface of the table. Someone was lying there.

Luminar took a step back, startled. But when he looked again, his expression changed.

A mix of annoyance and sarcasm took over his face.

"Of course they called her to replace me..."

He thought, closing his eyes.

With a heavy sigh, Luminar slammed the infirmary door shut, opened all the curtains, and turned on all the lights at once.

He began clapping loudly.

"ATTENTION TO ALL DEMONETTES WHO CAN HEAR ME, IT’S TIME TO WAKE UP, I REPEAT, IT’S 10 A.M., YOU’RE ON DUTY!"

The blonde woman stirred slowly, stretching dramatically like she was at home.

Her huge breasts bounced with the motion, and Luminar could swear he heard a “boing.”

Under the lab coat, she wore only a loose pajama set.

"Oooh... oohh? Luminar? Long time no see!"

She yawned, propping herself up with one hand, almost falling asleep again while sitting.

Luminar raised an eyebrow and crossed his arms.

"Yeah... long time indeed."
He replied dryly, eyeing her up and down.

"I can see you haven’t changed at all in these years..."
His eyes briefly dropped to her chest.

"At least not in behavior... damn, I didn’t think they could get any bigger."

She didn’t answer. Her eyes were half-closed, nearly dozing off again.

Luminar clenched his fist in frustration.

"Hey? Astrid?! Are you even listening?!"

"Ah, sorry!"

She snapped awake for a second.

"Jeez... you're not even in uniform! At least change out of that pajama and put on a proper blouse!"

He grumbled while taking the materials out of his backpack and beginning to organize them on his desk.

"But I'm not surprised they called her..."
Luminar thought, now focusing on the vials he had brought.

He turned his head again and saw Astrid lying back down on the table, asleep once more.

"It’s going to be a long day..."

He sighed. Then he got to work preparing the potion.

---

**But after all... Who is Astrid?**

To understand Astrid, you first need to understand what Demonettes are.

Demonettes are beings with an absurd level of magical capability. Their bodies have a structure that allows them to store nearly twice as much mana as any other known species. This means that any spell they cast is amplified to extreme levels, reaching powers that few creatures could withstand. They would undoubtedly be the most powerful beings in the universe... if it weren’t for one single detail.

Despite storing absurd amounts of mana, Demonettes cannot easily accumulate physical energy. This causes their bodies to naturally enter a state of hibernation for long periods throughout the day. On average, Demonettes spend 80% of their time asleep. For them, sleeping is almost like breathing — essential for keeping the body functioning under the massive burden of mana it carries.

Some Demonettes, however, manage to partially overcome this condition. Astrid is one of those cases.

Astrid is an extremely powerful Demonette. Despite the constant sleepiness that still affects her, she learned to channel her mana into a specialty: medical magic. This made her almost legendary within the healing branch of magic. Her control over regeneration, purification, and restoration spells is so refined that many believe she could even cure ancient curses.

Stories emerged. Some said Astrid could reverse nearly any curse. Others claimed she could bring the dead back to life. Some even believed she could rebuild lost organs. All of these stories ended the same way: *“except destroyed testicles.”* That was the one limit no legend dared to challenge. They said even Astrid had tried... and failed. Logically, it was all legend. Astrid was one of the best medical mages to ever exist, but she didn’t work miracles.

Because of her fame and power, Astrid’s contact became a high-end affair. She didn’t attend to just anyone. Her services required time, resources, and above all, patience. After all, she couldn’t fall asleep in the middle of a consultation.

However, despite being a highly sought-after doctor, there was a reason why Astrid was now at Seraphina’s school.

The two had been long-time friends. That friendship began many years before, when Seraphina was still just a student — and Astrid, even with all her early fame, was also a student.

Back then, Astrid was exactly as she is now. Sleepy, distracted, and carefree. Her body was a true mana powerhouse, but her physical energy was nearly nonexistent. Because of that, she became an easy target for opportunists.

One such opportunist was an older student who, over several days, began pulling Astrid out of the classroom at specific times. He always claimed it was to talk or practice simple spells, but Seraphina didn’t buy it. One random day, she decided to follow them discreetly.

That’s when she discovered the truth. The boy was using Astrid as a living mana source. He had learned a mana transfer technique and was linking his body to Astrid’s to siphon small amounts — just enough to cast extra spells on exams and gain unfair advantages.

Astrid, as always, was sleeping. And even when she woke up, she didn’t do much... She was too lazy to confront the boy. And he was clever: he chose times when her energy was at its lowest, precisely to avoid any reaction.

But Seraphina didn’t accept that.

The next day, she followed them again. When the boy began the transfer, a blue aura began glowing between their bodies. Astrid’s mana was slowly flowing into the boy, and Seraphina could see the orbs between his legs swelling as the mana gathered there.

She acted without thinking twice.

Her hands wrapped around the boy’s swollen orbs, and he froze instantly.

“What do you think you’re doing?” Seraphina whispered into his ear, her tone icy.

“I... I can explain... I, uh...”

“Oh, I don’t want explanations.”

She squeezed a little, just enough to make the boy hiss in pain.

“But you *will* return all that mana!”

“I... I’ll give it back... just please... let go...”

“Oh no... I’ll let go when the last drop of mana you stole is back where it belongs.”

The aura between the bodies intensified. The mana began returning to Astrid, who remained completely asleep on the floor, unaware of everything. The recovery, however, was slow.

“Faster!” Seraphina yelled.

“I can’t...” whimpered the boy.

“Oh really? Let me help you empty out, then!”

She squeezed hard, and his scream echoed through the hallway. The mana surged back like a flood. The blue aura vibrated intensely, like a constant bolt of lightning connecting their bodies. The boy’s body trembled, his legs gave out. He fell to his knees, breathing heavily, eyes full of tears.

Seraphina only let go when she felt he was nearly drained.

He collapsed to the floor, gasping, eyes glazed over.

Astrid, on the other hand, didn’t even open her eyes.

The next day, Seraphina began walking around with Astrid. She still slept most of the time, but the simple presence of her new friend made Seraphina grow attached to that strange and powerful creature. They formed a bond that would last for years.

During that week, Seraphina encountered the boy a few times. Every time their eyes met, she held her gaze, sharp and unwavering — like an invisible blade ready to cut. The boy would tremble, look away, and change direction. He never dared approach Astrid again.

And that’s how the legend of the Demonette healer became intertwined with Seraphina’s path.

---

Luminar was running back and forth, several vials in hand. His hurried footsteps echoed through the silent laboratory, blending with the soft sound of liquids being stirred.

Astrid, on the other hand, had her face resting on the table, lazily stirring a small cauldron with a spoon. Her movements were slow, almost sluggish. The spoon handle turned slowly within the mixture as she battled the sleep weighing on her eyelids.

"Just this... and this..." Luminar muttered, carefully pouring ingredients into the cauldron.

Suddenly, the door creaked open. Seraphina entered the lab, immediately facing the organized chaos. Luminar rushed past the door, disappearing into the storage room next door with the same urgency.

"Luminar?" said Seraphina, raising an eyebrow.

"Oh Miss Seraphina, I'm almost done!" he replied from inside the storage room, his voice muffled by shelves and jars.

Seraphina took a few steps forward and spotted Astrid, lying over the table, stirring the cauldron veeeery slowly...

"Good morning, Astrid," she greeted with a friendly smile.

"Huh? Hii," Astrid responded, starting off cheerfully but trailing off sleepily at the end.

Luminar returned from the storage room with a broad green leaf in his hands. He ran to the cauldron, tossed in two more leaves, and a large puff of smoke rose from the mixture. The cauldron began bubbling intensely.

"Done!" Luminar said, after dividing the liquid into three separate vials.

Seraphina nodded.

"Come with me," she said.

The two descended the stairs toward the school’s holding cells. The dampness and cold of the underground made the place feel even more ominous.

They stopped in front of Esmeralda’s cell. The witch was bound by magic-nullifying chains, seated against the wall with a deadly glare in her eyes.

Luminar tried to open the cell door, but it didn’t budge.

"It’s sealed, Luminar. We realized it would be safer this way... We need Valerya to break the seal," Seraphina explained.

They kept walking down the dark corridors until they began to hear groaning sounds in the distance.

"I swear... I’ll never do it again, I swear, I swear..." said a trembling male voice.

*WHOOSH*

A loud, dry impact echoed down the corridor, followed by more high-pitched groans.

Rounding the corner, Seraphina and Luminar found an open cell. Inside, Valerya stood with a man chained up, his arms bound above his head. She was kicking him between the legs over and over with brutal force. Each blow made Luminar flinch, cold sweat dripping down his forehead. He had taken a kick from Valerya before... and he knew she had one of the most powerful kicks in the school… if not *the* most powerful.

Seraphina, as if it were just another ordinary day, simply called out:

"Valerya."

The warrior stopped kicking the man for a moment and calmly turned around.

"I need you to open Esmeralda’s cell... and also the twins’," Seraphina requested.

Valerya nodded without saying a word, but before leaving, she delivered one last brutal kick between the man's legs. He let out a sharp scream and passed out.

Valerya then began following the two down the hallways again. Upon reaching Esmeralda’s cell, she placed her hands on the chains, and the magical seal dissolved with a soft blue spark. The door creaked open.

The three stepped into the cell. Esmeralda looked at them with a furious expression.

"We're finally going to save you, my friend..." Seraphina said calmly.

"Go to hell!" Esmeralda immediately snapped.

"When I get out of here, I’m going to kill that idiot and use his head as a club to kill you!" she screamed, her eyes glowing with rage.

"Well... the application is simple," Luminar began nervously. "We need to throw water on her first, then just pour the potion over."

"Okay... go ahead," Seraphina replied, crossing her arms.

"M-me?!" Luminar's eyes widened.

"Of course… you’re the one who made the potion."

"Uh... o-okay..."

Luminar picked up a glass of water with trembling hands. He slowly approached Esmeralda, who stared at him with narrowed eyes.

"Luminar, Luminar... always thinking you're so smart, huh?" she began taunting. "I know you're jealous of me. I know th—"

Before she could finish, Luminar threw the water on her. Her wet hair stuck to her face. Esmeralda was stunned.

"You did not just do that..." she said in complete disbelief.

Luminar turned to grab the vial of potion, relieved he had managed to throw the water without major consequences. But Esmeralda wasn’t going to let it slide. Her leg, the only free part of her body, shot up with incredible speed. The tip of her high heel struck one of Luminar's balls dead-on. He let out a high-pitched scream and dropped to his knees.

"YOU BASTARD! DO YOU HAVE ANY IDEA WHAT YOU’RE DOING?! WHEN I GET OUT OF HERE I’LL CASTRATE YOU, YOU IDIOT!"

Before he could react, she kicked him across the face, sending his body spinning to the floor.

Luckily, the kicks hadn’t been fully powered, so a few seconds later, Luminar managed to get back up, still moaning in pain. Staggering, he grabbed the vial of potion and poured the contents over Esmeralda’s head. She was cursing nonstop until then — but suddenly went completely silent.

For a few moments, she just stared ahead, confused.

"Uh?... EHN?!..." she shouted.

"I CAN’T BELIEVE I LET THAT BIG-TITTED BITCH CATCH ME! THAT WOMAN IS DEAD! SERAPHINA, UNCHAIN ME RIGHT NOW SO I CAN HUNT THAT DAMN WITCH DOWN!"

"Okay, she's back. Good job, Luminar," Seraphina said with a small smile.

Luminar just nodded, still holding his groin, and started limping toward the door while Valerya stepped in to release Esmeralda.
---

The three of them arrive at the twins' chamber. The door creaks as Seraphina pushes it open, revealing the two of them tied up in the center of the room. Their eyes are half-closed, seemingly tired but still alert.

They say nothing. Luminar walks in with hesitant steps and places the vials and ingredients on the nearby stone table. Unlike last time, he grabs a bucket of water instead of a cup.

“We can begin,” says Seraphina, her voice firm and serene.

Not wanting to risk suffering consequences like before, Luminar decides to throw the water from a safe distance. He lifts the bucket, hesitates for a moment, and then throws all the water forcefully onto the two of them.

The water hits the twins hard, splashing all over the room. The shocked expressions on Synthila and Brad’s faces are hilarious. Their eyes go wide, their mouths open in a mix of surprise and outrage. But it doesn’t last long.

As the water runs down Synthila’s clothes, the fabric becomes semi-transparent. Luminar, who was about to turn around and grab the vial with the potion, freezes for a moment, staring at the female figure in front of him. His eyes trace every curve revealed by the wet fabric, completely unaware of the imminent danger.

What no one in the room knew was that the ropes used by Armand to tie up the twins were made of *traspas*—a material that, although it nullified magic, dissolved easily when in contact with water.

Synthila realizes this quickly. She nudges Brad with her shoulder, and he, noticing the same, starts to feel his wrists becoming free as the rope dissolves.

“Luminar?” says Seraphina, noticing that the man had stopped, distracted.

“Oh, yes, sorr—AH!” Luminar replies, turning his face slightly flushed, but not in time to see Synthila leaping at him.

Now free, Synthila had already launched forward. With a single agile jump, she punches Luminar in the face, making him stagger backward. Brad, in turn, conjures a small explosive spell toward Seraphina.

The explosion bursts with a dry bang. Seraphina, thanks to her incredibly quick thinking, raises a magical shield in time, but Valerya, who was farther away and unprepared, can’t react. The blast hits her lightly, throwing her hard against the wall. She falls unconscious.

Brad charges toward Seraphina, ready to strike.

Meanwhile, Synthila violently slams Luminar against the wall. He’s still trying to understand what’s happening, but has no time to react. Synthila’s knee rises with surgical precision, landing directly on one of his balls and pinning it against the wall.

Luminar lets out a thin moan, his mouth forming an “O” and his eyes wide in agony. Synthila immediately knows she’s won.

She presses her knee in harder.

“Come on,” she says, staring into Luminar’s eyes. “Hurry up and pop that stupid ball!”

She presses even more, the knee crushing brutally.

Luminar is frozen, face pale, mouth open but silent. He grabs her shoulders tightly, trying to break free… but it’s useless. Once a woman gets you like this, there’s nothing you can do… Synthila pulls her knee back, then drives it forward again with full force, smashing his ball once more with a sharp, precise blow.

Luminar passes out instantly, his body going limp against the wall before sliding to the floor. Synthila gets ready to deliver the final blow, but feels something pulling her hard.

She hits the floor, and as she looks up, she sees Seraphina standing above her, the woman’s high heel already swinging toward her face. The kick hits Synthila hard, sending her flying back once more.

Seraphina takes a deep breath. In her right hand, she’s gripping Brad’s balls tightly—he had approached to attack her. His face is red with pain, his hands trying uselessly to pull her away.

“Synthila, do something, please, she’s gonna pop them… aaahh!”

“Shut up,” Seraphina says in a surprisingly calm voice as she squeezes even harder.

Brad arches forward, his eyes tearing up. Seraphina takes the opportunity, grabs one of the potion vials, and as Synthila tries to stand again, smashes the vial on the girl’s head. Synthila drops to the ground, dazed.

Without wasting time, Seraphina grabs the other vial, looks at Brad, and when their eyes meet, she squeezes his testicles even harder. Brad lets out a muffled scream, almost inaudible from the sheer pain.

Seraphina then pours the vial’s liquid into his mouth, forcing him to swallow. Only after that does she slowly release Brad’s crushed testicles. He collapses to his knees, powerless.

Seraphina takes a deep breath again and observes them both. She waits, arms crossed, as the potion begins to take effect.

Synthila is the first to rise, letting out a soft groan. She looks at Seraphina for a few seconds, then bows her head.

“I apologize, my lady, for all the trouble I caused…”

She looks to the side, seeing her brother still groaning on the floor, hands between his legs.

“He apologizes too… please, spare at least one of his balls from punishment.”

Seraphina laughs, arms crossed.

“Don’t worry, I won’t punish you. Whether you like it or not, you were being controlled.”

She pauses, looking at Brad with a hint of pity.

“Besides… you can bet he’ll remember that squeeze for the rest of his life. There aren’t many men I’ve squeezed that hard, and the ones who survive usually never forget. But I had to do it. Can you believe he aimed for my chest?!”

“Unfortunately, I can… he’s that kind of idiot…” replies Synthila, still with her head bowed.

Seraphina lets out a small sigh, watching Brad still curled on the floor. Silence fills the room for a few seconds, broken only by Brad’s low groans and Synthila’s heavy breathing.

The potion had worked…
