Sequence 7

When Hector entered the basement he put the items on the table and then he went for the Caldon that was in the box on one of the shelves.

When he had everything prepared Hector took out a measuring cup and poured 65 milliliters of purified water.

Then he took a pipet and dropped 8 drops of vanilla essential oil. When he combined essential oil and water it gained a nice scent. After which he cleaned it pipet and took the rooster that was brought earlier and ripped its head. Then he let the blood to flow into a bowl.

After a few moments, he took the pipet and took some of the blood. Then he added 3 drops of rooster blood which slightly darkened the color of the content in the cauldron.

Hector, then took out a small pouch from which he put 5 scales of night viper. When all of the supplementary ingredients were in the caldron he repeated the ingredients.

"65 milliliters of purified water, 8 drops of vanilla essential oil, 3 drops of rooster blood, and 5 scales of Night Viper." When he confirmed that he made no mistake Hector looked at the main ingredients.

He took a Tongue of Spirit Viper, and when he put it into the caldron he could see how the tongue melted into silvery sludge and started to realize a small layer of dense smoke.

After adding the Middle Eye of the Hornless Three-Eyed Goat he could see how the liquid turned grey and smoke gave filing of mist in which one could hide.

When it was done Hector looked at the caldron once again before taking it into his hands and started to drink its content. He didn't have any way to divine danger as Klein could so he just went with his gut.

When he started to drink he could feel the taste of something rotten. He breathed the dense smoke which assaulted his sense of smell with the deep pungent stench of wet filthy carcasses of half-rotten animals on which mold started to grow.

After he drank the whole content of the caldron he felt a warm sensation in his stomach, unfortunately, it did not last as it transformed into thousand needles that pierced through his stomach into the rest of his body.

It felt as if his skin was being cut in thousand times in thousand different places. Hector then could feel as if a shroud was setting in his skin, enveloping and hiding him from prying eyes.

When the sensations in his body started to weaken he felt as vines in his heart grew out and small vines started to replace his nervous system.

When it all stopped Hector felt his body shift. When he looked at his hands he saw as his fingers became long and boney and his nails blackened. In a few moments, all of his body changes returned to normal and he could sigh in relief. Hector breathed heavily as he sat on the floor entering a cogitation state so he could calm his spirituality.

While he rested he felt a flood of knowledge entering his mind, he gained information on how to perform all kinds of rituals related to devil worship, and he also knew how to summon projections of devils from within the Abyss if proper serial killing sprees were created.

While he had all of that information he had no intention to do any such ritual as that would only put him in danger. Hector did not know what type of reaction it would create with Tenebrous World while he is only sequence 7 and any devil is at least sequence 6.

Of course, he planned to use said knowledge to create new rituals that would be directed to himself or to specifically Tenebrous World.

He also felt the new sensation of protection which would effectively interfere with the Divination of others if it would be directed at him. And he also knew how to cut at the spirit of his victim so others could not perform Spirit Channeling. Until now if someone with the ability to channel spirits like a spirit medium of Death pathway they could interrogate victims for information. Luckily he only killed on impulse or people that did not know him.

Now he would be able to target even those people which would bring official beyonder organizations to investigate, "Of course, it would still not be a full proof plan as the church of steam could use Arrodes mirror which was and from my point of view will be able to locate Jason when asked correct question.

"Not sure how it would react to the presence of Tenebrous World but it would be better to not gamble. So for any of the people of the higher station, it would be wise to wait until Albert will finish the human skin suit.

And his favorite was the new sense that he developed. It was a strange combination of ones that he previously had, but somehow it was different. He could smell the corruption in the hearts of others, he could see how twisted their hearts had become, he could hear the whispers of their sinful souls, and he could taste on his tongue how deprived they had been.

"Hah haha!" Hector laughed as he felt his energy rejuvenated and his powers strengthened. He was ecstatic at his advancement, even if he did not gain any flashy powers he had gotten some truly important for long-term survival.

With the new knowledge about rituals of devil worship, he was able to devise ideas that he could use to bless others and himself with blessings that he would normally wasn't able to do or to create Abyssal Charms.

One of them would be the charm that he could use to block certain areas from divination and so cut the information about what happened there. It was similar to the burning paper that Klein used, another charm would explode like a grenade but instead of destructive force, it would spread corruption to the vicinity. Another charm would be able to summon an explosion of blue flames. Similar to the ones that he could use in sequence 8 but stronger and he did not need to be close as he could throw the charm.

Unfortunately, most of the charms that he could make were one-time use. But it was a fair price as he could always make more. He only needed a medium, which is an object that would become the charm and make a ritual to himself using the Honorofic name of Father of Devils.

Only his spirituality would dictate how many he would be able to make at one time, which after becoming sequence 7 had risen greatly. He could not wait as sequence 6 would bring him qualitative change and he could shed his human form for that of the devil. Still, he was joyous that he advanced to sequence 7.

"Finally." Hector said, "I finally became mid-sequence beyonder.

"Now that I'm Serial Killer it is time to do my job of serial killing." As he thought of killing he felt obsession grow in his heart. He knew his preferred type of victim. It did not surprise him when he felt the desire to find scoundrels, gangsters, thieves, and sinners.

"Hide little lambs for The Butcher is coming for you."
