The Cost of Salvation

-Chapter 2-

-…Is Paved in Good Intentions-

"Well, well, well… this is certainly a pleasant surprise." Lucifer's signature smirk never once wavered while he walked around a circle of his throne room. Slowly swirling his ring finger along the inside rim of a glass of red wine clasped in his other hand, he created a soft harmonic tone whilst stirring its contents at the same time.

Off to the side, Charlie was standing with Naruto in her arms once again, rocking the newborn gently to lull him to sleep. The princess herself had worry written all over her face as she nervously chewed on the inside of her cheek.

The reason for this would be because of the object of Lucifer's attention, Kushina, who was using every ounce of self-restraint she could muster to keep herself calm. Her instincts were practically screaming at her that he was more dangerous than he appeared and to keep as far away from him as possible.

It was strange though; she didn't sense any hostility from him, and neither did his expression or actions give away anything aside from his apparent intrigue in her. And yet, there was just something about this demon that was setting her on edge. An underlying unease that his mere presence seemed to instill within her.

The only saving grace she had was that Charlie had been able to get her a shirt and some pants to cover herself before this meeting. However, it was only a token of help as it still felt like she was standing naked under the king of hell's piercing gaze.

'He definitely feels a lot more like a demon than Charlie does, that's for sure.' She thought as she unconsciously tried to cover herself more as she kept her head bowed, not out of respect but because she really didn't feel like looking at that smile any more than she had too.

"I must admit that I'm impressed Charlie. You've done far better than I ever expected. I honestly thought you'd come back here with some ratty little soul of a drug addict you found slummed in a gutter at the last minute," Coming to a stop at Kushina's side as he spoke, the king of hell pulled his hand away from his drink and held it up to the transformed redhead's chin, gently pushing it up with a knuckle until their gazes finally met. That was the last straw for Kushina, and her lips snapped back into a snarl as a warning growl echoed from her snout. Although all that did was make Lucifer's grin widen a little. "Never did I imagine you'd lay claim one this pure, let alone be gutsy enough even try going after an Elementian."

Rather than being pleased by the praise though, Charlie visibly recoiled before looking at the floor in shame. "I… I did what I needed to do."

"That and more I'd say, considering the extra baggage you've brought with you," Lucifer stated as his gaze dropped onto the baby in his daughter's grasp, making both her and Kushina tense up. Holding him closer to her chest protectively, Charlie tried to back up as her father closed the distance between them, only to end up bumping into the wall. "Oh, relax sweetie, I'm not gonna hurt him. I just want a closer look at my would-be new grandchild."

"Really, just like you wanted a 'chat' with me before?" She shot back bitterly, getting him to pause for a moment before chuckling deeply with a shake of his head.

"Oh, you're gonna hold that one over my head for a long time, aren't you?" The older blonde asked rhetorically as his daughter kept glaring at him distrustfully. Rolling his eyes, Lucifer held a hand up as it gained a familiar black and red glow. "Fine then, I swear on my name that I intend neither harm nor malice towards the child. Happy?"

Happy was the absolute last thing Charlie was at the moment…but she eventually nodded her head regardless as she reluctantly allowed her father to get closer.

"Hm… Well, he's a cute little tyke for sure," he said with a chuckle. "And hell, he could almost pass off as yours already, just need to add a little red to those cheeks."

Whilst he spoke, Lucifer traced his fingers along the whisker like markings on the slumbering infant's cheeks, leaving a thin smear of wine. The contact ended up rousing Naruto from his nap though, which the little guy was quick to show his dislike for as he started to squirm and whine.

"Whoops, my bad," The devil stated with a completely unapologetic smile as he downed the rest of his wine in a single gulp. He then twirled around on his ankle and started walking off whilst idly waving over his shoulder. "Well, have fun with that."

"…Wait, that's it?" Charlie called out in confusion, briefly caught off guard by the man's abrupt exit. "That's all you have to say? What about my plans? The hotel?"

"Do whatever you want, it's not my problem anymore." Was all Lucifer said, not even bothering to turn around as he went, before vanishing through a doorway.

…

"That man is a total ass," Kushina muttered after a few moments, her words snapping Charlie back to reality just in time to see her taking Naruto back. Wiping the wine off his face with her arm, the transformed redhead gently rocked the fussing infant until he fell back asleep. Once he was settled down, she turned her attention back to the older blonde with a concerned look. "You okay Charlie?"

"…Yeah, I'm fine, just… Why don't we get one of the guest rooms set up for you and Naruto?" It was an obvious attempt to change the subject, but Charlie didn't care, nor did she wait for an answer as she started walking away too. Seeing that the girl was obviously not in the mood to talk about it, Kushina sighed and let the matter drop, for now at least, as she followed after the distraught demoness.

Fortunately, getting settled in didn't take long, with the pair deciding on a guestroom that was just down the hall from Charlie's room so that she'd be close by if they needed anything. Then, after some digging around in the attic, they were able to find her baby stuff for Naruto to use like her crib and old baby clothes. Naturally, it all needed more than a little dusting off after sitting in storage for nearly two centuries, which Charlie took care of alone since Kushina was still getting adjusted to her newly enhanced senses.

And now, after almost two hours of nonstop dusting, Charlie waltzed into her room caked in dirt and grime. Groaning in exhaustion, she slowly made her way across the room toward her personal bathroom, dragging her feet with each step.

"Ugh… I really need a bath," She grumbled to herself as she patted off the dust that was still stubbornly clinging to her body. The patches on her hands were being particularly annoying for some reason from the large clumps that just wouldn't let go. "Come on, you stupid gunk, why won't…you…?"

Charlie suddenly trailed off mid-sentence as she came to a stop, her gaze locked on her palms as the dust finally crumbled away…to reveal the bloodstains underneath.

"O-Oh right… I… I never w-washed up, did I?" Glancing down at her chest, Charlie finally noticed that all the spots of her suit were bloodstains as well, previously hidden by the natural red of her clothes until now. It had completely slipped her mind somehow that she had been holding a dying woman in her arms just a few hours ago.

A dying woman whose soul she damned for eternity to save her life…

An innocent woman who she damned…

"I… I… I damned her…" Charlie whispered quietly, her hands starting to tremble as her breath grew labored and a look of horror slowly spread across her face. "I d-damned someone… Oh god, I… I actually…"

The blonde covered her mouth and she fell to her knees, tears welling up in her eyes while her chest convulsed rapidly until-

"Bleugh!?!" Bile spilled between Charlie's fingers as she desperately tried to keep it down to no avail, her hands dropping away on instinct when the acidic burn grew to strong and pretty much every meal that she'd ever eaten came flowing out of her all at once. Her vision blurring as she pitched forward, the princess only barely managed to hold herself up with her vomit covered arms while she kept spewing all over the floor until there was nothing left in her stomach.

But even then, it didn't actually stop. If anything, it got worse as the convulsions redoubled and caused the poor girl to painfully dry heave over…and over…and over. The hot rancid stench of vomit intermingled with the coppery smell of blood and flooded into her nostrils, making her eyes burn and stomach twist. Acrid smoke slowly rose into the air from the puke as it burned into everything it was in contact with, chewing through the floor with ease and blistering Charlie's skin.

"Hey Charlie, you in there? I'm coming in." So lost in her misery Charlie didn't even hear when someone started calling out her name nor when her door opened. "Hello? Where you-? Charlie!?"

It wasn't until the demoness felt someone grabbing her by the shoulders that she was finally brought out of her stupor enough to see who it was. The newcomer was a young female sinner demon with dull grey skin and long white hair, a single ivory eye filled with concern whilst the other was covered by a darker grey patch with a pink X.

"V-Vaggie?" The princess mumbled weakly before doubling over into a coughing fit, getting the now named Vaggie to rub her back. "What… What are y-you doing here?"

"I was worried, you didn't show up for our date, and you weren't answering your phone." As she spoke, the grey lady helped her girlfriend up to her feet and all but carried her to a nearby chair. Once she set Charlie down, Vaggie knelt in front of the distraught blonde and cupped her face in both hands, gently wiping away the puke still sticking to the demoness's cheeks with her thumbs. "But enough about me, what happened? Are you okay? Whose blood is this?"

"I… I did something… Something awful..." Charlie spoke softly, barely even a whisper, in a raspy voice that kept cracking every other word. "She was gonna die…and I… I was gonna lose everything if I didn't…but I could have… I can't… I…"

"Shh… Easy Hon, easy… Take your time," Vaggie said, pulling the choking up princess into a hug, letting her rest her head on her shoulder as she ran her fingers through her blonde locks. "Why don't we go get washed up? A nice hot bubble bath to ease your nerves."

"Y-Yeah… That sounds…nice…" After everything she'd dealt with today a bath sounded like a wonderful idea, so Charlie let the grey demoness lead her away to the bathroom.

-Meanwhile-

Back with Kushina, the former human turned Hellfox was humming softly while setting Naruto into his new crib. The little blonde was now dressed in a fluffy soft pink onesie that had [Satan's Little Devil] printed across the belly in red letters.

As soon as he was put down Naruto burbled in curiosity as he flailed his tiny arms around in the air in an adorable, yet naturally fruitless, attempt to explore the new place.

"Oh, looks like somebody likes his new home, don't you?" Kushina asked, reaching down to gently tickle the infant's belly, making him squeal happily before latching onto her fingers. Smiling softly with a giggle, she was content with letting her child play with her hand until he tuckered himself out.

However, with her attention focused on Naruto, the redhead was left unaware as someone slunk through the doorway. All that could be seen of the figure were glowing silver eyes as they slowly walked inside, their footfalls making nary a sound as they got closer and closer.

Coming up directly behind the new mother, an arm rose, revealing delicate looking manicured hand that reached for the vulpine lady's shoulder.

"GLAK!?" Faster than the blink of an eye, a huge golden chain burst from Kushina's back and smashed into the person's chest. A grunt tore from their lips as they were knocked across the room, slamming into the wall hard enough to fracture it. Not even a second later the chain struck again, piling onto the figure's chest to keep them pinned in place as Kushina whirled around to face them.

What she was greeted with was a tall, lovely demoness with pale blonde hair and long magenta horns that were embedded in the wall.

The moment she laid her eyes on her though, Kushina gasped as she immediately recognized the woman as Charlie's mother; Lilith if she recalled correctly. It wasn't exactly hard to tell who she was, considering the many pictures of her that were plastered all over the manor.

"Oh, shit! Sorry!" The redhead exclaimed as she quickly retracting her chains, wincing when she noticed that Lilith's horns were buried into the veneered wood, leaving her literally mounted to the wall.

"Owww… Talk about making an impression." The Queen of Hell groaned out, grunting in pain when she fell onto her ass curtesy of her horns shrinking until they popped free.

"I'm so sorry about that ma'am. Are you okay? My reflexes sometimes act before I can." Kushina said with a sheepish smile, moving to help the blonde demoness back onto her feet only to be waved off.

"Don't worry about it, I should have known better than to sneak up on an Elementian," Lilith stated with a giggle as she pushed herself back up, rubbing her ass and neck while she rolled her shoulders. Stretching her arms over her head, a sigh escaped her lips as her back popped satisfyingly before her horns grew back out, only now they were curled into a hook shape instead of straight back. "Besides, that little love tap was nothing compared to when me and the hubby decide to be a bit rough in the bedroom. Oh, now that's something that'll leave me sore in the morning~."

"…If you say so." Wisely deciding not to touch that, Kushina let the matter drop as she waited for Lilith to regain her composure. Once she did, the hellfox smiled politely as she offered the woman a hand. "Anyway, my name's Kushina. You're probably wondering-"

"My husband told me why you're here already. It's a pleasure to meet you. I'm Lilith." Rather than shaking Kushina's hand, Lilith grabbed it and turned it so that the palm faced upwards, exposing the runes still seared into the flesh. She muttered something under her breath that Kushina couldn't understand as she traced her finger over the demonic writing. Watching the centermost rune glow softly, the queen's brow furrowed for a moment before she sighed with a shake of her head. "I'll be blessed. My little girl actually went and claimed a soul. Never thought I'd see the day, to be honest."

Pulling her arm back, Kushina glanced at the contract before clenching it into a fist that she covered with her other hand. "Well, from what I've heard, she didn't exactly have much choice in the matter."

"Ah yes… I figured there was something that Lulu left out, a few somethings in fact," Lilith said with a nod, gesturing to the baby crib as she spoke. "May I?"

"Oh… Uh yeah, sure." Kushina said as she stepped aside since she didn't get the same feeling of unease around her like she did Lucifer. However, that didn't mean she wasn't going to keep a close eye on the blonde. She was nice, not stupid.

Peering into the crib, a gentle smile appeared on Lilith's lips upon seeing little Naruto staring back up at her curiously.

"Well, aren't you just the cutest thing I ever saw?" She asked while tickling the newborn's belly, making him squeal happily as she scooped him up. Holding him up to eye level, she cooed softly and gave him a little Eskimo kiss before cradling him in her arms. "So, is this little fella yours or should I be wondering how my daughter managed to hide being pregnant for nine months?"

"He's mine. His name is Naruto," While a little irked at the question, Kushina couldn't blame Lilith for having to ask it as Naruto did look far more like Charlie's child than her own given her new appearance. In fact, as loathe as she was to agree with the jerk, Lucifer had a good point in how uncanny the resemblance was between the two. "Charlie did agree to be his godmother though, if that matters."

"Ah, so an honorary grandson. That means I still get to spoil you as much as I want, yes it does." Lilith said to Naruto, talking in a goofy baby voice as she gently set him back down him back down and tucked him in again. Giving him one last boop on the nose once she was done, the queen of hell giggled at how his face scrunched up in adorable confusion. "There ya go little-ow!"

It seemed that the little guy wasn't done with his new 'grandmother' yet and latched onto a lock of hair. Lilith winced as she tried to pull her hair free only for the little whiskered child's grip to stay firm as he tugged back with a giggle.

Rather than being annoyed at this though, the demoness actually began laughing even with her head stuck at that awkward angle. "Are you sure he's not Charlie's? Because he's definitely got her grip."

"Oh dear, hang on I'll-" Kushina started to say as she moved to help, only to be cut off when Lilith waved her back.

"Don't worry about it, I've dealt with this plenty of times before. Just watch the magic." She said calmly, getting the redhead to pause mid-step in confusion. Before Kushina could ask what Lilith meant, her attention was drawn back to the hair in Naruto's grasp when it was enveloped by a soft glow. Then, to the redhead's surprise, the entire lock started to move on its own, wiggling around like a snake before it detached from the blonde's head, allowing her to stand upright again.

However, it didn't stop there, as evidenced by the disembodied lock continued to flop around in the crib, squirming all over the inside of the crib as it glowed even brighter. Then the whole clump broke apart, individual strands spreading away from each other, then entwining into threads which in turn started knitting themselves together. At the same time, several hairs changed, some expanding into large cotton balls whilst other turned into fluffy wool.

Once they were all finished, Naruto found himself holding a brand-new plush teddy bear that he looked at in awe…before sucking on one of its ears. Meanwhile, Lilith brushed her hair back with a smirk as the lost lock regrew almost instantly, leaving her appearance flawless once more. "And that's how it's done."

"Handy trick… You wouldn't happen to be able to teach me how to do that too, would ya?" Kushina asked with a low whistle.

"Perhaps another time," The horned blonde said while walking up to the transformed redhead and looking her over with a critical eye, rubbing her chin with a thoughtful hum. Whilst Kushina was at a loss for what Lilith was doing, the demoness's lips curved into a contemplative frown before nodding her head. "For now, though, perhaps we should go get you some more fitting attire. I doubt my daughter's clothes are very comfortable considering your differing physiques."

"Now that you mention it…" The queen's assumption was spot on as while the clothes did cover what needed to be covered, they weren't exactly a good fit. The pants in particular were quite tight around Kushina's waist and weren't meant for legs like hers. Not in a sense of fashion but quite literally, as the pants were designed for human shaped legs and not the raised ankle structure of a fox like she currently had.

"THAT MOTHERFUCKER!!" However, before she could say anything else, both ladies jumped in surprise when a loud shout filled to the brim with pure rage rang out.

"…Hm, seems like Vagatha stopped by for a visit," Lilith said once she recovered from her surprise, her brow rising as she glanced in the direction the shout had originated from. "I've never heard her that angry before though."

'Vagatha… Vagatha… Where have I heard that…? Oh, right, Charlie's girlfriend,' Kushina thought while checking on Naruto, who was thankfully still busy nomming on his new toy. Charlie had mentioned her a few times while they were getting the baby stuff out of storage, mostly about how supportive and caring she was. "Charlie probably told her what happened."

"Ah yes, I almost forgot about that," Lilith muttered to herself before motioning for Kushina to continue, "You were saying something about her not having a choice?"

"Your husband forced her to choose between making the deal or giving up her dreams forever," The human turned demon fox said with her arms crossed, getting the queen's brow to rise even higher. "Apparently he was upset about her making him look bad by not having any souls of her own, so…" A loud scoff made Kushina trail off and she looked to see Lilith rolling her eyes in exasperation. "What?"

"I'm sorry but that is a complete load of horseshit." The demoness stated dismissively much to the fox woman's disbelief, her lips curling up slightly into a snarl.

"Excuse me?"

"Oh, don't get me wrong; it's not what my husband did that I don't believe, but rather the reasoning for why he did it," Lilith explained as she made an 'iffy' motion with her hand, waiting for Kushina to relax a little before she continued. "The simple fact is that Lulu couldn't give a rat's ass about what anyone has to say about him even if he tried, hell he practically invented the concept of not giving a fuck. So, the idea that he was offended enough by a few measly rumors that he did any of that is laughably absurd."

'Yeah, I could see that…' The transformed redhead agreed mentally while recalling how her own interaction with the ruler of Hell went earlier. However, if Lilith was right, then that begged the question, "Why did he do it then?"

"Personal profit or personal pleasure, the only two reasons he does anything on his own volition," said ruler's wife stated, holding up two fingers then ticking them off whilst she spoke. "Either he got something out of this deal he felt was worth the effort, or he was bored again and thought this'd be a good way to entertain himself for a bit. I'd put my money on the latter personally as, and no offense intended, one measly soul is hardly considered a profit."

"You're saying he made Charlie do this just for a laugh?" Kushina's lips curled back in disgust at the mere idea that someone could be so callously cruel to their own child.

"I can't say for sure, but I really wouldn't be surprised. It'd be far from the worst thing my husband has done to alleviate his boredom," Lilith admitted as she leaned against the wall with a mix of nostalgia and exasperation written on her face. "Like the time he sunk the world's largest ship on its maiden voyage just because he thought it was funny how everyone kept saying it was unsinkable. Oh, and who could forget the time he went on vacation to London in the 1800's, there are still legends about that trip."

"… I repeat, that man is a total ass." Was all Kushina could say with a shake of her head, massaging the side of her brow with one hand whilst gently stroking Naruto's cheek with the other. She was really regretting not trusting her instincts and beating the hell out of the smiling demon while she had the chance. Or in this case, beat him out of hell.

"King of all evil, sweetie. Being an ass is kind of his thing," The horned demoness pointed out with a bemused smirk that quickly fell as she bitterly added. "Although, he's definitely sleeping on the couch for this little stunt of his."

"He should get a swift stab in the nuts, if you ask me." A new voice added in suddenly, getting the women's head to snap towards the doorway to see a certain grey girl's head peeking into the room.

"Oh, hello Vagatha. It's good to see you again," Lilith greeted with a soft smile as she waved to the grey-haired Sinner, who nodded back politely despite the annoyed frown she bore. "Is Charlie with you?"

"Yeah, she's right here." Vaggie stated before she stepped in the room fully with Charlie in tow, revealing their bath robe clad forms. However, the latter also had bandages wrapped around her hands and taped onto her lower jaw much to Kushina and Lilith's concern. Concern that only grew when they also noticed how bloodshot her eyes were and the way she was blatantly leaning on Vaggie for support as her legs trembled underneath her.

Pushing off the wall, Lilith was over by her daughter's side in a second and gently cupped her chin. "Oh dear, what happened sweetie?"

"It's nothing, just had a bit of an upset stomach… I'm better now…" The younger blonde tried to play it off as her mother gingerly peeled back some of the bandages on her face to expose the blistered skin underneath. She would have smiled to help reassure the worried demoness, but unfortunately, the disinfectant/numbing cream Vaggie had applied made her lips refuse to stay up.

"Nothing my ass, you-" Vaggie tried to say something but was cut off when Charlie quickly slapped a hand over her mouth with a wince. Giving her girlfriend a dull look, the one-eyed demon crossed her arms disapprovingly as she mumbled something unintelligible through the bandage covered limb.

Charlie could only offer an apologetic shrug in return before turning her attention back to her mother, who was still looking her over in concern. "Anyway, I see you've met our new, um…guests?"

"Indeed, and I must say they are quite the intriguing pair of visitors," Lilith said with a giggle, carefully taping the bandages back into place as she spoke. Once she was done the horned demoness rested her hand atop the princess's head and gently stroked her scalp. "In fact, I was just about to take Kushina here out to some shopping for a desperately needed new wardrobe. Would you like to tag along?"

"I-" This time it was Charlie's turn to be cut off as Vaggie pinched her lips shut while pulling away the hand muffling herself.

"Thanks, but no thanks, Mrs. Morningstar. Charlie should stay put and get some rest," The Sinner stated whilst giving her girlfriend a stern look that left no room for arguments. "Besides, we can watch over the little niño for you. Not exactly a good idea to bring him if you're clothes shopping after all."

"Ah, of course, of course. You bring up a fair point," The horned blonde said with a nod before clapping her hands together and stepping aside. "Well in that case, why don't you all get introduced? I've got a few things to take care of before we go, anyway."

"Good idea," Nodding in agreement, Kushina offered a polite smile as she held out a hand towards Vaggie. "The names Kushina Uzumaki. It's a pleasure to make your acquaintance."

"Vagatha, but my friends call me Vaggie," The grey girl stated, accepting the shake with a tiny, albeit brief, smile on her lips. She then motioned her head towards the baby in the crib as he burbled curiously. "And I'm guessing the niño over there is Naruto?"

"You'd be correct. Come on and say 'Hi'..."

As Kushina led Vaggie, and in turn Charlie, over to the crib so they could gush over Naruto, Lilith silently made her way out of the room and down the hall.

Once she was certain she was out of earshot, the Queen of Hell reached into a hidden pocket of her dress and pulled out a Hellphone. Turning it on, she quickly dialed in a number before holding the device up to her ear. "Hello? Yes, I'd like to make an order… No, not the usual stuff… I need something more dangerous…"

-Several Days Later-

Lilith smirked as she stalked through the dark streets of Pentagram City, her steps graceful yet silent as she passed by various demons who immediately moved out of her way either out of fear or respect. Taking a turn onto a grungier street that looked more like an alleyway, aside from the size, she headed straight for an equally dilapidated looking building that sat near the end and walked inside.

There wasn't much to see on the interior, aside from a scarred female Imp sitting behind a counter and typing away at a computer.

"Ehem."

"Hm? OH! Lady Lilith!" Or at least she was until Lilith cleared her throat to get her attention, causing the Imp to practically teleport from her seat to stand before the demonic royal with a bow. "H-How may I b-be of assistance today?"

"I'm here to pick up something I ordered." Lilith stated, getting the Imp to nod in understanding before rushing back to her seat and type rapidly on her computer.

"Ah yes, I see it now. It's right in the back," she said with a nervous smile, grabbing a paper that her computer printed out as she led the Queen of hell to another room, one filled with dozens of different types of parcels and packages. Walking past them all, the duo soon arrived at a series of heavy-duty cages of varying sizes, each one holding some kind of demonic beast ranging from a giant scorpion that was pointlessly stinging the bars to a ferocious fiery horse gnawing on a carcass.

They eventually stopped in front of a smaller cage, roughly the size of a kennel, that was bathed in darkness thus hiding its contents from sight.

"A-Are you sure you want t-this ma'am?" The scared Imp asked nervously, pointedly keeping a good distance between herself and the bars as she gulped nervously. "Not that it's a-any of my business of course, b-but this one has proven quite...u-uncooperative, to say the least."

"Is that so?" With no fear of her own, Lilith approached the cage, peering inside the darkness within with an intrigued look before reaching her hand past the bars... only to immediately yank it back when a pair of jaws filled with razor sharp teeth tried to chomp down on the limb. "Oho~, feisty little one, aren't you?"

The only response she got was a low menacing growl as whatever it was slunk back into the back of its cage.

That seemed to be enough for her though as Lilith smirked while pulling out her wallet. "I'll take it."

-End Chapter-

Omake: Whirlpool Kombat [Kushina vs Lilith]

Lilith swirled a glass of champagne in one hand while she casually strutted ahead, her horns growing out into a perfect half spiral. "Well, this is certainly a surprise."

Cracking her knuckles and neck at the same time, Kushina snarled defensively with several golden chains emerging from her back. "And who the hell are you?"

"I do believe I should be the one asking you that sweetheart," Lilith said before downing the rest of her drink and tossing the empty glass aside as magic energy swirled around her body.

[FIGHT!]

AN: Who wins? For those wondering how Charlie burned herself with vomit: It is possible to burn yourself when Vomiting because you are upchucking stomach acid, which is… well acid, which only our stomachs are resistant too. And canonically we've seen that demons in Hazbin Hotel and Helluva Boss have far more powerful stomachs than humans (Case in point, Stolas casually swilling pure acid or Loona eating a blended-up phone).
