Ten minutes later, and the Ritual Formation was finally done. Arachne was barely awake as she was being kept distracted by all her friends and Celes water splashes. She was very strong, resisting the urge to sleep by her deadly sin was something incredible and commendable.
Maria quickly carried her half-sleep daughter towards the center of the Ritual, where she had carved an altar made of Death Stone, refined, and synthetized with Demonite Crystals of the highest impurity.
This altar was the centerpiece of this Demonic Ritual, Maria had copied it at 100% accuracy from how it was depicted in the Demonic Grimoire. There was a huge pentagram made out of corpses, blood, and souls surrounding the Altar.
It looked ugly and utterly vile, but this was the only way. She was using the corpses of the vampires, which were the strongest corpses she had. Most of them were already zombies, so it was easy for her to tell them to place themselves where she wanted.
