This was the first time Eleanor had come into contact with demonic blood. She had slain many monsters during the trials, but had never faced a demon. Although nobody had mentioned demons to her directly, she had read many books related to them and the traits of demonic blood, copied by Nora from the academy library.
Demonic blood causes rapid, necrotic decay to mortal flesh and bone. It does not merely burn; it liquefies tissue, rusts metal within seconds, and turns fertile soil into barren, black sludge. Even solid stone cracks and crumbles as if weathered for millennia. If a large amount of demonic blood comes into contact with nature, the environment will be permanently altered.
