Asmodea cautioned Orcus that learning magic was not an easy task and that it would take years of practice to master, but she was willing to help him along the way.

Asmodea had stopped laughing, and was now looking at Orcus with a serious expression. "I understand that you want to learn magic," she said, "but you have to be careful about what kind of magic you're learning. Some types of magic can be very dangerous and difficult to control." She paused for a moment before continuing, "And as for that weird magic you mentioned, you should know that there are some types of magic that are forbidden. They can be extremely powerful, but they can also have terrible consequences if they're not used properly."

Orcus frowned at this, but he knew that Asmodea was right. He had heard stories about the dangers of magic, and he knew that he needed to be careful. "I know," he said, "but I still want to learn. I don't want to be weak anymore. I want to be able to protect myself and others."

"No, I get that much. Magic is an honourable path, especially the reserved dark arts. I'm asking why you chose to be the student of that old geezer Rasppo. I've heard stories about his shadow manipulation, in tribute for great power and unpredictable skills, it comes with extreme pain. Pain that resembles ripping your body apart at the very seems with your own fingertips." Asmodea expressed her concern for Orcus and his choice of mentor.

She questioned why he decided to be the student of Rasppo, who was known for his shadow manipulation and the extreme pain that came with it, despite the great power and unpredictable skills it offered.

"This pendant... It came from someone dear to me. A year or two before we met, mother passed away. I only saw a glimpse of the killer and saw a unique scar on his head, in the form of a star. Out of everything, that scar stood unique. Once I near mother's body prsenc, she was barely alive and the killer stood above her. The demon frightened me." Orcus explained that the blue pendant he wore around his neck was a precious item that had come from someone dear to him.

Orcus recounted the traumatic moment when he entered his mother's presence and found the killer standing over her, barely alive. He recalled being frightened by the demon, and the scar on his head had stuck in his memory as something unique.

Overall, the conversation between Asmodea and Orcus revealed their close bond, as well as Orcus's motivation for pursuing the dark arts with Rasppo.

It also shed light on his tragic past and the precious pendant he carried with him, which held sentimental value as a reminder of his mother.

As Orcus spoke, Asmodea's heart ached for him. She could sense the deep pain and guilt that he carried inside him. She didn't interrupt him, but instead, she wrapped her arm around him in a comforting embrace.

Orcus continued with his story, not looking at her but staring blankly into the distance.

"I'm a weak executioner. I know I'm not strong enough to carry out justice on my own, so I decided to seek out someone who could help me. That's when I heard of Rasppo and his shadow manipulation. They say he can imbue his students with great power, but at a terrible cost. The pain is unbearable, but I thought it would be a fitting punishment for me. A way to atone for my sin."

Asmodea listened in silence, feeling Orcus's pain as if it were her own. She knew that nothing she could say would make it better, so she simply held him tighter, letting him know that she was there for him.

"I don't know if I'll ever be able to forgive myself for what I've done," Orcus said, his voice breaking with emotion. "But I have to try. I have to do something to make things right."

Asmodea didn't know what to say, but she didn't need to say anything. Her embrace spoke volumes, and Orcus seemed to draw comfort from it.

They sat there in silence for a while, Orcus lost in his thoughts and Asmodea simply being there for him.

"Sin? What do you mean? We are of the Sin of Lu-" Asmodea's words were cut off by Orcus, who had a somber expression on his face as he spoke.

"I don't mean that. True sin, even for demons, is one that can never be erased. It is permanently engraved in your mind, digging at your head like a corkscrew." He clarified that when he talked about sin, he was not referring to their demon heritage or the Sin of Lust.

Instead, he was talking about a true sin that can never be erased and lingers in one's mind like a persistent ache. Orcus explained that he felt responsible for his mother's death and had contemplated taking his own life many times.

However, he couldn't bring himself to do it and instead believed that the only way he could atone for his sin was to kill someone else.

"And Shadow manipulation, like you say, is extremely painful. Rasppo has agreed to instruct me, as he had never found a single demon with the resolve to put one's body through such torture in battle for the rest of its life."

Asmodea listened intently as Orcus continued, revealing that he had sought out Rasppo to teach him the dark art of shadow manipulation.
