Lillith - Chapter 56 - How should we continue?

Hello everyone!
In this chapter we are opening yet another arc in this story, and well… I have some news that might be good or bad for the readers. The news is: I started creating a new story, a new universe inspired by some things I like, and I think it’s something very creative and different, something that probably hasn’t even been mentioned in this subreddit yet. And well… that means Lillith… uh… I think you can already imagine… I can’t say it’s CLOSE to ending, after all, let’s be honest, I have a TERRIBLE posting schedule… buuut, the main storyline is already 100% structured. How I want it to continue from here is already written out, I just need to actually write how everything will happen. That doesn’t mean there won’t be changes, not at all. You can still send me suggestions and I’ll do my best to include them :) But it does mean Lillith’s story is heading toward its final stretch! Excited?

I should also warn you: I won’t post the first episode of the other series until I finish Lillith. I really don’t like when there are two stories happening at the same time. I mean, it’s good for us writers to be able to “step away” a little from what we’re writing, buuut it’s also bad for readers who are waiting for the next episode of a specific series… Anyway, I hope you understand my decision!

About this episode, it’s more of a setup chapter! I promise that in the next one we’ll have more action!!! But it’s been hard to write lately haha, I feel like I haven’t been writing very well these past few days, so I’m sorry if the quality feels low! I’m doing my best to improve! Enjoy the reading!

"AGGHHR, SHIT, SORRY, SORRY, AAAAAGHHHHHR!"

"SORRY?! SORRY?! LOOK AT THE SITUATION I WAKE UP TO, AND ALL I’M GOING TO HEAR IS A SORRY?!"

Armand’s eyes open as he hears the shouting voices of Luminar and Morgana.

"Oh, you’re awake, Mr. Armand!"

A sweet, soft, cute voice says. Armand’s gaze moves past the horns, down to Astrid’s beautiful eyes. As always, beautiful eyes, but heavy with sleep.

"Astrid?..."

Armand says, still dizzy from having just woken up from a faint. His gaze drifts to the other side of the room, and he sees Morgana and Luminar. Luminar has tears in his eyes, shouting, while Morgana holds him by the testicles, clearly squeezing hard…

"YOU WERE UNCONSCIOUS, I WAS EXAMINING YOU! AAAAGGHHH!"

"EXAMINING?! YOU WERE ABOUT TO GRAB MY BREASTS!"

"I WAS USING GREEN DISTRIBUTION TO FIND INJURIES, I DIDN’T TOUCH YOU AT ANY MOMENT AAAAAGHH!"

Morgana finally lets go of Luminar, who falls to his knees, rocking back and forth while holding his injured balls.

"And why didn’t you ask Astrid to do that?"

"She… was already busy with Armand… ughn… and with the number of injured from this attack… she worked a lot, she must be about to pass out from exhaustion…"

Luminar says with difficulty. Morgana looks to the side and Astrid is already passed out on top of the table, using her own breasts as pillows… Seeing Armand wake up was the trigger for her body to finally allow itself to sleep, so she didn’t last even two more seconds awake…

The infirmary door opens. It’s Emma. She walks in with a worried look, but her eyes widen and a glow appears on her face when she sees Armand awake.

"Professor!"

She runs to hug him.

"I was so worried! You bastard! Why did you teleport us?! We could have helped! We trained for this! Don’t you trust us?! You idiot! Idiot! Idiot!!!!"

Emma cries into Armand’s chest. Armand gently pats her head and apologizes… But he still has many doubts. Everything happened so fast… He looks at Morgana.

"Could you explain to me what the hell happened while we were gone?"

Morgana sits on the bed beside him, staring at the floor.

"If you’re here… that means you lost too… right?..."

Armand nods.

"Ah… I see…"

Morgana looks extremely discouraged.

"Eliza appeared at the school… wherever she went, she created chaos… She kept walking until she reached Seraphina’s office… I was there with her… Eliza destroyed the door and… well… we started fighting…"

Morgana speaks heavily, clearly disappointed in herself.

"We won… several times… or rather… we killed her… several times… The first time was hard, killing our own friend. Even if she’s our enemy now, we had a history together… but after that… it became a game, where we killed her, and she came back, again, and again, and again… until… our mana ran out, but hers never seemed to end… so it was only a matter of time before the fight turned…"

"And then I arrived, right?"

Morgana nods.

"I see…"

Armand lowers his head.

"So Eliza was after Seraphina, but… why?"

"I can’t say exactly, but Eliza is smart. She knew we would prepare somehow to face her, so she found a way to rush us, to force us to hunt her without preparation."

"So saving Seraphina would be a trap?"

"Definitely… but a perfect trap… because she knows neither you nor I would let Seraphina die…"

"Soulsquer in five days, huh?..."

Armand mutters.

"Morgana, let’s call the best professors, gather a rescue group, make a plan and…"

"What professors?..."

Morgana cuts him off.

"Huh?"

Armand looks confused, and at that same moment Luminar interrupts, finally recovered from Morgana’s assault.

"Almost all the professors are hospitalized… Fortunately we managed to save everyone. Well… Cortryzir lost one testicle, consequently half his magic… but… that was the only permanent loss we had. However, it’s impossible for anyone to recover in five days…"

Armand looks at Luminar in disbelief… Is it just them now?! Morgana, Luminar, Astrid and himself?!

The room remains tense, completely silent… No one knows what the next step should be…

"Welcome home, my old friend!"

Eliza throws Seraphina into the middle of the room. She falls to the floor and quickly looks up, trying to figure out where she is. She sees a luxurious room with a fireplace, elegant upholstered chairs, and in the middle of the room a dark skinned woman reading a magazine.

"Uh?"

Nyx lowers the magazine, looking Seraphina in the eyes.

"Well, well, how interesting! Decided to spice things up a little, Eliza?"

"They’ve been a thorn in our side. Honestly, I got tired of waiting for their next move."

Eliza says as she removes her gloves and throws them into the fireplace, then takes another pair from a drawer nearby.

"Huh? Who’s the busty one? Holy shit, those melons look even bigger than Eliza’s!"

A blond man in a red overcoat says, leaning forward to admire Seraphina’s body, spreading his legs for better balance.

THUFF!

From Seraphina’s perspective, a red heel appears between the man’s legs as their eyes meet.

"Uh… my… balls…"

He finally collapses.

"No one asked for your opinion, Geldrad."

Eliza says, placing her right foot back on the floor.

"Where is Torne?"

"Probably in his room."

Nyx replies without even lifting her eyes from the magazine.

Eliza claps once and opens her fist. Two golden chains emerge from her hands. One shoots straight between the fallen man’s legs. The other travels across the room and into a door.

"Huh?! Eliza? Hey, wait! I can walk, just wai— AAAAAAAGHHHH!!!"

The chain suddenly starts retracting toward Eliza’s hand, as if dragging something heavy.

"Agghhhh, Eliza, wait, damn it, aaaghhhh!!!"

Suddenly, dragged by the chain attached to his balls, another man appears in the room.

"Good morning, Torne."

Eliza says in a seductive tone.

The man curls into a fetal position, holding his testicles.

"Damn it, Eliza, I could’ve walked, what the hell, agh!..."

"Well… I needed everyone here to make an announcement. In five days, all of us are going to Soulsquer, and we’re going to put an end to our biggest headache."

Eliza sends a glance toward Seraphina, who glares back furiously.

"Soulsquer? Why?"

Nyx asks.

"Have you ever heard the legend of that place?"

"Huh?"

"Apparently not… So… according to the ancient scriptures, Soulsquer was the place where the Ring of Troy was placed."

"Wait? Seriously?! I didn’t know that!"

Nyx shouts excitedly.

"Yes, yes… that’s right… but obviously it’s not just about going there and grabbing the ring… They created a system so that only Trojans could retrieve it."

"And that system would be?"

"A box, indestructible. But it can be opened if it comes into contact with remnants of mana from a Trojan."

"Okay, and how exactly would you manage to open that?"

"Well… mana release can happen in several ways. Obviously when they created the box, they thought of a Trojan mage applying mana to the lock, but…"

Eliza pauses dramatically, looking at the two men in the room.

"The destruction of a testicle also causes a release of mana throughout the environment. It’s imperceptible to anyone, but that lock would open easily."

Eliza’s eyes held an inexplicable sadism for any man in that room.

"And you know a Trojan, right? That’s a rare surname these days."

"Well… I do… and interestingly enough, I’m quite close to him. He usually hides that he’s a Trojan. I found out by pure coincidence, but I’m sure he is."

Eliza walks toward Seraphina.

"And that’s why she’s here."

Everyone in the room looks confused.

Eliza kneels in front of Seraphina, grabbing her chin and forcing her to look her in the eyes.

"Because that man is someone I’m sure will do anything to save this little redhead here."

Seraphina’s eyes widen upon hearing that. Her mind spirals into despair as she realizes who Eliza has been talking about this whole time. Eliza enjoys watching Seraphina’s expression.

"I hope you enjoyed those gigantic balls at least once. It would be a waste to destroy them if they never entertained a woman in their life…"
