Chapter 84: Sucking It Out
The words came out of the blue.
Aaliyah paused for a few seconds before words finally came out of her mouth, "W-what?"
Everything was unexpected for Aaliyah. Edith was just pumping Miguel’s heart earlier, how did it come to the point that she now needs to suck the demonic miasma through his mouth?
Her cheek turned red at the thought of it.
"I- I can’t do that...I don’t know how," she stated. Her voice trembled in panic and embarrassment as she thought of her lips touching Miguel’s.
Grrrr!
A low grunt suddenly escaped Miguel. Edith looked at his face and noticed that it was gradually turning hideous.
The demonic miasma was spreading faster than she initially thought.
Miguel’s strength was increasing. He was going berserk more than before. At this point, Aaliyah could hardly pin his hands on the ground anymore.
"D-do it now, o-or else, he would get demonized in no time," Edith’s anxious voice resounded.
The previous confidence she emitted was nowhere to be seen. It was now replaced with genuine panic, much like what Aaliyah was feeling since earlier.
However, Aaliyah could not respond to her words. She stared at Miguel’s mouth, not knowing exactly what to do.
Edith gritted her teeth seeing that absent-minded Aaliyah. Her gaze alternated from her, and then to Miguel who was gradually getting stronger than usual.
With each second that passed, Miguel’s body seemed to become even more demonized. At this moment, as his strength increases with each struggle, the purplish veins also traveled on his neck, and now almost reached his cheek.
Seeing that there was no time to waste, Edith gritted her teeth as a hint of determination flashed across her stormy eyes.
With the hesitation gone, Edith immediately jumped and sat on Miguel’s stomach.. Her right hand pinned firmly his right, while her left hand took over Miguel’s hand that Aaliyah was holding earlier.
She was quite strong. Miguel’s upper body was finally held in place, except his head that still kept on struggling.
Aughh!!
A delicate moan escaped her mouth. She almost tripped over when Miguel struggled with his hips.
"F-focus on his legs," her anxious voice resounded.
Aaliyah woke up from her stupor. She did not waste any time and went to pin Miguel’s lower body, helping Edith restrict his chaotic actions.
At the same time, Edith stared at Miguel’s mouth, her heart beating wildly at what she was about to do. Her face was red, adding contrast to her stormy blue eyes.
A second only passed. Edith made up her mind and firmed her resolve.
Without hesitation, her eyes closed as she dove directly to Miguel’s mouth.
At that instant, her lips connected to his.
Miguel was like a crazy beast at this moment. His head kept on squirming left and right, trying to break free from the two women’s clutch. Saliva dripped out crazily on his now purplish mouth. It must have taken a lot of courage for Edith to do what she just did.
Meanwhile, Aaliyah gritted her teeth upon seeing Edith’s action. However, she quickly looked away from the scene a moment later. As for what she was thinking at this moment, only she would know.
On the other hand, the moment Edith’s lips touched Miguel’s, she did not waste time to enjoy the moment and hurriedly made a powerful sucking motion, trying to suck the demonic miasma out of his body.
This was a technique commonly known during her era to save those who got demonized recently. However, she had never done this before and only knew the theory to do it.
The pump on his heart earlier was only the first choice if the contamination was already this deep. Next thing she needed to do was to suck the demonic miasma out of his body that she just pumped out of his heart and lungs earlier.
However, doing that was easier said than done.
One would have to risk their life if they wanted to perform such action. Not only would one need to take note of the demonized one’s struggling, one would also need to mind the fact that the demonized would try to consume every living thing they encountered.
For example.
Aurrghh!
A grunt escaped Edith’s mouth that was still trying to suck the demonic miasma out of Miguel’s body. Blood slowly dripped at the corner of her lips as Miguel’s teeth sank halfway through her lower lips.
Her brows were furrowed and face slightly contorted due to pain.
However, Edith just allowed Miguel to do so and did not pull away from him. She persevered and focused entirely on sucking the demonic miasma out of him.
Sucking the miasma out was not an easy thing to do. Even her master would not be able to do such a thing easily. This was why when Demons ran rampant in the world, a lot of their comrades has fallen to this state of no return.
However, with determination and a powerful control over her own body, Edith finally saw signs of success.
A horrible taste suddenly entered her mouth accompanied by a bloody taste from her own blood. According to what she knew, this horrible taste was the taste of demonic miasma that formed inside an infected being.
There were many different ways of forcing out a demonic miasma out of the newly infected body. However, sucking through the mouth was the most convenient and easy method that doesn’t rely on masterful techniques or skills.
However, if one was not intimate enough, and had no clear determination, no one would be willing to do such a thing due to the risk it brings.
It needs great courage and sacrifice.
After all, demonic miasma was a very contagious thing. If Edith was not careful and allowed even the slightest bit of demonic miasma to enter her system, she would also get demonized.
Hence, the third and the last step was necessary.
