The Path Of The Holy

"I don't feel bad for the Incubus... He was deserving of his fate. I shudder thinking of what he planned to do to me," Yulia says through a panted breath as she ascends the stairs, "I'm actually very glad he turned down the offer, I would have felt guilty letting such a creature live," she continues her voice and words uncharacteristically harsh. She lets out another panted breath and she whimpers, "I... I should have gone back to rest before continuing, that demons foul magic is affecting me, but... something compelled me to ascend immediately," she explains.

"As much as I'd prefer not to... I am going to have to deal with this sensation as soon as possible, when I reach the next floor," she agrees to Moonblack's proposal.

"Ah... You're the voice that was having some... problems when you first spoke right? It's good to still hear you, I actually feel like this combat went very well. I didn't even get hurt this time which... is unfortunately a first... though this effect the demon had on me is... embarrassing and aggravating, I hope it... only lasts until I can... deal with it," she says taking a few huffy breaths in between her words.

"Nothing really bothering me, other than this cursed feeling..." she says her hand seemingly, trying to subtly move between her legs, pressing the front of her scapular against herself, "um well... the place I came from, we had the most state of the art medical knowledge and could cure almost all diseases through the application of medicine and magical aid, well except of course for this damned plague. In fact we had recently developed a most exciting method of dulling the pain of a patient, in the event that a treatment required surgery or amputation, it was called anaesthetics and with it we could completely remove a patients pain through non-magical means and we even had medicines that could be used to suppress pain afterwards while the patient recovered. Some of our top minds were also working on creating devices that could be used to replace missing or amputated limbs, though they would of course be almost purely decorative or functional for balance in the case of legs since it's impossible to connect them into the nervous system," she explains and then stops for a moment, "Sorry I think I might have gotten a bit... distracted there. Sorry I'm very excited about all the great strides forward we make in medicine!" she says excitedly and then looks down, "can't say I've paid that much attention to non-medical technological progress, I'm afraid. I know they were working on something though that one of my colleagues was really excited about. A mixture of chemicals such as sulfur, carbon and salt of potash that has some sort of... rapid accelerant process or something... I can't lie... I didn't entirely understand her explanation, but she seemed to think it would be really useful for industrial use," she finishes.

"Indeed... I won and it felt good, but now I feel... too good," she says weakly and then pauses, "I hate demons... Filthy creatures, I can't imagine what there possibly is to like about them, they exist only to corrupt and destroy, they're just like the infections we fight except unfortunately you can't just take a pill to get rid of them," she says, her voice scornful and then she returns to her more casual voice, "Orcs are alright though... Although I guess I never really met one until recently. There was a small town near the base of the tower and I met a number of strange creatures there from various worlds, one of them was an orc... He seemed nice at least, maybe he's not representative of the rest of his kind though," she says with a shrug and then nods, "I will definitely try to find somewhere to rest as soon as possible, I imagine it would be... detrimental to try and continue in this state," she agrees.

After that she reaches the top of the stairs and opens the door stepping through to the third floor. Surprisingly she's not in a rest area, the floor is made out of finely carved and polished stone, wooden pews line either side of the room and the end of the room there is a door, the door is not seemingly locked, but beside the door there is an altar with a space for kneeling directly in front of it. Yulia examines the area, "It looks like a church... Not one of ours though... I don't see any recognizable religious symbols from my religion..." she states as she looks around, turning around to get a full view of the place, "Regardless it fills me with a sense of peace... I... I like it here, unfortunately even that feeling doesn't override the demon's magic," she says with a sigh. She turns back to the altar and there's suddenly a figure there, the figure appeared literally as Yulia turned to look back towards the altar.

The figure is tall, nearly 9 feet and extremely obviously female with massive breasts that dwarf, Yulia's own even with allowance for their vastly different proportions, the figure is dressed in a white scale patterned bodysuit that shows off her curvy body, ass length silver hair falls from her head which is hidden in a metal helmet with a light blue visor that hides her eyes, her fair skin and bright pink lips are visible under the visor and she is wielding a large whip in her hands, metal is affixed to her suit covering her breasts and pelvis and she has a pair of large, gloriously bright, white angel wings extending from behind her, "Supplicant... If you wish to walk the path of the holy, you must be cleansed of your impurities," the angel woman speaks, her voice monotone.

It's clear by the way her hand grips her whip that she's expecting a fight, "Wh... what does cleansing me of my impurities, entail?" Yulia asks nervously.

"Your sinful flesh, must be scourged until all impure thought and sensation is removed," the angel clarifies and yulia stares at the whip and swallows fearfully.
