Seven Sins System Chapter 343. Unholy Transaction
The leader, bigger and tougher-looking than the others, stepped forward. This was Xalgrim. His sharp, intelligent eyes locked onto the woman trapped in my tentacles, and I could see a mix of curiosity and a little too much interest in his gaze.
The dark centaurs moved in closer. Their hooves echoed through the cavern. The woman's eyes went wide, and she started struggling harder, but it was no use.
Xalgrim's red eyes narrowed, a wicked smile spreading across his face as he eyed her. "A bride," he hissed, his voice cold and chilling. The woman shivered under his hungry gaze, her fear obvious.
"Yep, a mortal," I replied casually, throwing on my best salesman smile. "Remember the soul I brought you last time? Well, souls don't come with bodies. This time, you're getting the full package."
I gestured toward her, showing her off like a prized catch. "I think you guys are gonna love this one," I added, with a grin that suggested we were all in on the same joke.
I leaned in, dropping my voice a bit. "This stays between us, alright? It's a secret deal." The woman, catching on to what was happening, looked absolutely horrified.
The five dark centaurs all grinned, eyes glowing with excitement as they looked her over. The cavern was filled with an eerie silence.
Xalgrim, leading the pack, showed off his sharp teeth with a nasty grin. "Yes," he said, clearly pleased with the "gift."
One of the centaurs, drawn in by her fear, got closer, circling her slowly. He lowered his head, sniffing her like he was sizing her up. I tightened my tentacles slightly, bringing her closer for inspection.
Her whole body shook with fear, and tears began streaming down her face. It was a reaction I'd seen in many a poor soul over the years.
"She smells nice," the centaur said, grinning wider.
"Of course. And she's always dreamed of becoming a mother," I added smoothly. "Perfect for raising your kids, right?" Behind, I was crossing my fingers, hoping they'd accept her as their bride. If they did, their numbers would grow, giving them the strength to guard their territory better.
The Malifex Clan, for all their intimidating looks, was a valuable demon clan. Born from a single female, they were more like a tight-knit family than a regular tribe. They played the role of protectors, like sheriffs, keeping their domain safe but fair. They allowed other demons to stay as long as they didn't cause trouble. Thanks to them, things stayed balanced.
But without a female breeder, their numbers had dropped drastically over the past two hundred years. With no way to reproduce, their clan was on the verge of extinction. This woman was my shot at giving them a new start—and saving myself a headache from dealing with all the wild demons messing up their turf.
"But can she breed?" Xalgrim asked, scrutinizing me, clearly needing reassurance. Their pride wouldn't take kindly to a bride who couldn't bear children.
"Hold on," I replied, using my Observation skill to double-check. From her memories, I knew she'd struggled with this before, but her last check-up showed she should be able to conceive. The issue seemed to be a genetic mismatch with her mortal partner. No luck with humans, but demons? Different story, especially for the Malifex Clan.
"Yup. Turns out, the issue wasn't on her end," I confirmed. "And I'll make sure she has tonics to keep her in top shape. You won't have any problems with her."
