Chapter 1499 Fiendish Vampirism
"What more can you recall from your homeworld?" he inquired, filled with anticipation and curiosity. He wasn\'t sure where he would land after stepping out of Anfang. But it didn\'t hurt to gain information related to Labh Salem in advance.
Eren understood that a considerable amount of time had passed since Hettie had been transformed into a wraith by Eliza\'s Sin Series Ability. She had likely undergone numerous cycles of death and rebirth within the Purgatory\'s recycling mechanism.
It was only natural that her memories would be fragmented after returning to life as a fiend. Even if she could remember bits and pieces, the current Labh Salem might be completely different from her memories of the world.
Nevertheless, any information she could provide would be invaluable.
Hettie appeared visibly stressed as Eren posed his question, her fear of him palpable. She vaguely recollected their confrontation more than a decade ago when Eren had first entered Eliza\'s Purgatory.
At that time, he had taken her eyeballs and devoured them to obtain her Ability, Life Drain. She vaguely remembered the steep price she had paid to gain this Ability from the Demon Prince of Gluttony, Beelzebub. Now, it had been acquired effortlessly by the man standing before her, back when he was still an unknown.
Though time was somewhat muddled for her due to her soul being trapped within Purgatory\'s mechanism, Hettie recognized that not much time had passed since her initial encounter with Eren. Ten years was a mere blink for powerful entities. Yet, the gulf in power between the Eren of the past and the present was staggering.
"My lord... I recollect fragments of Labh Salem. I..." Hettie began, but Eren interrupted her with a clap of his hands. "That\'s excellent," Eren acknowledged with a smile.
"Keke. I only asked to confirm. It\'s probably not the right moment to delve into it now. We\'ll discuss it when things settle down. Stand up," he ordered, prompting Hettie to rise promptly.
Without hesitating, Hettie obeyed his command. Eren approached her, locking his gaze with hers. He gently held her face to prevent her from looking away and smiled before encircling her waist with both his hands.
"Hettie, I got to say. You look stunning," Eren remarked, a smile gracing his lips as he gazed at her. In the next instant, he pressed his lips against hers, taking her entirely by surprise.
Hettie found herself momentarily bewildered by Eren\'s sudden kiss and embrace. But within moments, her stirred soul succumbed to the Sin of Lust, compelling her to respond to Eren\'s advances. Not that she needed the Mist of Lust to respond to Eren\'s advances. Eren had employed his Sin Series Ability for a different reason.

During the Fiend Creation process, Eren had also utilized the Sin of Lust: Mist of Lust Ability. However, it wasn\'t a domain-type Ability. Rather, he had invoked Lust Mana through Mist of Lust and manually injected it into his fiends at varying concentrations.
The resulting fiends, born from the fusion of three distinct Sin Series Mana types, displayed a wide range of emotions. Their affinity with the Sin Series Mana was linked to the concentration of the Mana injected into their vessels during creation. Depending on this concentration, they could access different emotions, although they were primarily attuned to one of the three emotions associated with the Sin Series Abilities.
Eren understood that fiend creation was akin to crafting potions, with the Sin Series Mana serving as the primary ingredients. The more types of Sin Series Mana he had, the more opportunities it would open up for him to create a diverse range of fiends.
Just as a potion\'s attributes and effects could change based on the inclusion and concentration of various components, fiends exhibited compatibility with different Abilities depending on the inclusion and concentration of Sin Series Mana involved at the time of their creation as well as their assimilation rate with it.
In this fiend creation project, Eren played the role of a deity, wielding the Sin Series Mana to recalibrate his fiends\' constitutions, allowing the dormant potential Abilities within them to flourish.
Eren sensed that Hettie required a higher concentration of Lust Mana to unlock her fiend Abilities fully. Her vessel already contained a potent form of Gluttony Mana alongside a trace amount of Wrath Mana.
Eren decided to intensify the Lust Mana within Hettie\'s constitution through their passionate kiss and close proximity. All so that he could empower her, pushing her battle prowess in the late-stage A-Rank realm. After all, capable subordinates would serve him better.
Fortunately, since he had just completed their creation, he had a window of opportunity to make last-minute adjustments to their constitutions. Without delay, he manually increased Hettie\'s loyalty and servitude towards him.

Naya\'s voice quivered with disbelief as she exclaimed.
"Wha… What on earth is he doing? Is this the right time for such antics?"
Her face bore a shocked expression, and her mouth hung open in astonishment. The idea that Eren was indulging in such a lewd play with Hettie at this moment seemed utterly incomprehensible to her.
Alephee observed the scene before her with a contemplative gaze before nonchalantly shrugging her shoulders. "Umm… let\'s wait and see how this unfolds," Alephee remarked in a manner that suggested she had grown accustomed to Eren\'s unpredictable moments of debauchery.
The other fiends dared not direct their gaze toward their master\'s actions. They kept their heads lowered, bracing themselves for any potential scrutiny or inspection.
As Eren\'s hands roamed all over Hettie, feeling every nook and cranny of her mature body, she was consumed by the waves of lustful passion. The Lust Mana that came from Eren through the Mist of Lust was cultivated by her fiend body right away, refining her flesh anew and increasing her potential as a fiend.
