As they walked toward the village, Sifa called over Lina, the Snake-Haired Folk elder. "How did you obtain the Despair Magic Mirror?"
The thick blue snakes atop Lina's head writhed constantly. She revealed a sorrowful expression and said, "That happened a long time ago. Not long after our Snake-Haired Folk ancestors arrived on Blue Tree Island, there were many Beyonder creatures on the island. One of them, known as the Lustful Banshee, lived deep within Blue Tree Island."
"While exploring, our ancestors ventured deep into the banshees' nest. We paid a great price to clear it out. Although the nest was eventually cleansed, one of our clansmen was seduced by a banshee and, after it died, devoured its Beyonder Characteristic."
Sifa frowned slightly. He had a vague suspicion, but still asked, "What happened next?"
Lina said, "That clansman was male, but after consuming the banshee's Beyonder Characteristic, he turned into a woman. And she became exceptionally beautiful, driving many of the clan's men mad with desire."
Wasn't that a Demoness?
Could some part of a Lustful Banshee be a Beyonder material for a sequence of the Demoness Pathway?
Sifa did not interrupt and let Lina continue.
"We soon discovered that she had become abnormal. We tried to capture her, but she escaped. She also took all the banshee characteristics with her. By the time we found her again, she had become a Monster."
"She had lost her reason and undergone Loss of Control, but she had also become dangerous."
"As long as our clansmen approached her, they would fall ill. She could spread plague as well. Those snake hairs of hers turned into real venomous snakes, and anyone who faced those snakes would be turned into a stone statue."
Lina sighed. "One of our Demigod elders perished because of this.
