Chapter 20: 20 #Basement
[Lucy's POV: ]
"Undead potion!" She shouted first thing as the shop window opened.
It was a specially made concoction that turned a demon's body immortal and enhanced its healing properties for seven hours.
We had to keep his body clean to not get much suspicious from the authorities so this thing was necessary.
I nodded at her and began reciting the ingredients for the main thing.
"Flower of the purple valley (1, half-bloomed), the blood of a black goat (3 ml), nail of a vampiric swan (2 pinky fingers), unholy holy water (0.01 ml), and saliva of fallen angle (cheapest bottle)."
We would just be mixing them, so I had to buy the precise amount and we weren't rich enough to buy more than necessary so this much was it.
This was alchemy, and even though she was adept at mixing them, I was the one to 'accidentally' find the formula of this wonderful thing.
A horrified expression appeared on our cat's face and his eyes widened in utter awe as soon as he heard this list. He was some of the best dimensional merchants in the Worldline so he obviously knew what these things would be used in.
We also knew he would know of this thing, but he spelled the name of this miraculous potion wrong, showing just how powerful and rare this stuff was.
"Luckey bastard," she mumbled and started patting our little kitten again.
Now, it wasn't my mistake. My playtime was a lot more than hers. She was decisive, but I was just a lucky person to have her.
[Curse Of Momat]
333rd ancient curse successfully passed down to the people of the worldline #345MK.
Ancient civilization was something that existed before the creation of the worldline and ruled the whole of the space known as [Worldline] in the current time.
This civilization was something believed to have existed before the creation of [{(Time)}] and so, they can't travel back to that time even if they had every resource in the world.
This curse was like poison, but it did more than just kill or paralyze or hurt the enemy.
It rendered anyone under level 100 helpless, preventing them from using skills, spells, or any form of energy for a few hours while heightening their senses.
And even a few hours were more than enough time to calm her thrust.
That was all that we needed.
We will be powerful in terms of overall skills either way, so for a demon contractor like him to not be able to use any skill or even take advantage of his absurdly high stats was the same as being a normal human.
And normal men were as good as dead before her wreath.
"Ok. That's all we can have right now." I said and closed the system window.
But there was a confused look on our little kitten's face.
This acting was so genuine that one who didn't know about these things would be fooled by his cute and innocent face.
"Do you really think that we know this much and still are unaware of the first purchase discount?"
I smirked at his cute frown.
[First, purchase successful. Adding benefit: first purchase discount.]
[50% reduction in the total price.]
[Additional 10% reduction per merchant agreement.]

"Oh wait! Add fifty pairs of black gloves too~." She suddenly spoke up, reminding me of her certain habit.
'Wearing black gloves so that blood doesn't touch her hands.'
This was something that she had made a habit and just hearing its mention reminded me of many 'accidents' from our previous world.
He said with a smile, and she happily nodded.
This was a good deal for us, and he was at least earning something from this.
"Ok. Thanks for your great services." Thanking him, I took the box that materialized before us and put it on the other table.
And after that, it was time for our little one's departure.
"Ba-bye, Raz. See you soon. And don't worry. Hehehe... I will, hahaha!" she suddenly started laughing menacingly.
It was clear what film would be playing in her mind and... I don't want to explain this.
"Ok, Raz. She meant we would take care of that bastard and you will be happy not seeing those things. Bye~." I said bye, and he looked at me with pitiful eyes.
He was smart, and now I knew he was starting to feel the same way about us as we were.
We showed him mystery as well as gave him the warmth he so much desired.
It was amazing for him, and we were done with the preparation.
The pure white kitten vanished into thin air like rays of light, and I looked at my laughing beauty.
"Shall we?" I asked for her hand and she gladly accepted it.
Just mixing this thing will give us something scary, so there was excitement in her eyes.

[OP: ] (# in the title means explicit chapter. Practice caution.)
A dark, underground basement.
Dimly lit large room with three tables.
On these long tables, many blood-stained tools were resting, waiting for them to be picked up by the pig-like fat person wearing a blood-stained lavish outfit.
A large vertical metallic table with ropes and shackles at its edges 'was' holding a little kid of almost ten years.
Blood was everywhere on this child, and his face, in particular, was unrecognizable.
His hair was pulled out, and his eyes had almost come out, presumably from the extreme fear and pain.
His feeble, skinny body was covered in deep visible red scars.
There weren't any clothes on this corpse and even then, this child's gender was unrecognizable.
The pig-like bastard was also stained with some blood and because of that, he had a large frown on his face.
This was a frown of disgust but, his eyes contained boredom.
These were the boring eyes of someone that had done such things many times in his life and now felt nothing from them.
Even though this was just one room, one would faint from just the heavy smell of blood in this place, however, that very thing was the only good thing he enjoyed.
The square table with the child's body tied to was strangely fine and shining too, indicating its peculiarity.
This shine was metallic blue, and this was no ordinary metal.
But that wasn't important.
There was a child's corpse and the pig-like bastard with pitch-black eyes with no pupils walked back to the dining table already decorated with food and alcohol.
Sitting down on his throne-like chair, he started his feast with no care in the world.
He took a sip from his golden glass and today, this red wine tasted strangely delicious.
"Eva!" He shouted and hurried footsteps rang outside the room.
The door slowly opened and a mature lady walked in with horrified eyes and a trembling body.
Her eyes were teary, and she was covering her face and nose tightly with her hand.
Long green hair that went down her back, fuzzy brown eyes that couldn't stop the tears from her eyes. Her alluring body was trembling and avoiding all his presence but she had no choice but to go to him.
"Oh, Eva~. Come, join me for dinner," he ordered her to sit down with his pitch-black eyes, and her heart almost stopped again today.
Those eyes, those damn eyes, were the clear signs of his inhumanity, and the sticky darkness around him was the sign of demons.
The lady trembled but didn't dare disobey this pig, for she knew of the consequences the children might face because of her.
She just stood right beside him as he drank the glass of red wine, frozen in her place.
"Hmmm. Unique. Good work here~!" he shouted in excitement as he put the glass down.
Looking at her with a hungry smile, he put his hand on hers and started caressing her body with his blood-stained hands, making her tremble even deeper.
She was almost going to fall to the ground but managed to control herself. She didn't care about her body which had never been her own for a long time now. The others, the young ones, were more important.
"Oh, Eva. When will you agree to join me? Just became like me. We can have much more than this~!" he asked... and she was suddenly thrown at the wall.
-Thump!
Her body fell lifeless on the ground, the impact had almost taken away her consciousness, and then the pig-like bastard stood up.
Walking up to her, he picked her up with one hand and held the collar of her shabby dress.
"Only if you agree..." he mumbled and ripped her dress, revealing her scar-ridden body.
Though she was beautiful and her body was perfect, those ugly deep scars were something that made her gorgeous bosoms pointless.
And the one that made her like this, had anger and lust in his eyes.
"Nothing like this would happen." He finished with the same angry eyes, taking out every piece of clothing on her.
She was helpless, as always. And she couldn't do other than this, as always.
Even though this pig bastard was short and fat, he was strong... until he felt something strange.
His hand trembled, his head suddenly throbbed, his heart ached, and his darkness weakened substantially.
This was strange. Almost as if all the strength in his body was leaving him, making him powerless.
"Looks like the effect has triggered." A youthful male voice rang from his back just then and he hurriedly turned back, releasing the half-conscious lady from his dirty grasp.
"Hehe, finally~!"
He turned and a pair of glowing red and blue eyes entered his black eyes in the dimly lit room.
One was filled with anger while the other was hungry, just like his moment-old self.
