Chapter 63: Chapter 63
Mart entered the restricted library after having walked through the corridors a few times and corroborating that there was no sign that chaos was about to start in the Academy, even so he did not feel as calm as before, especially because he had seen the haste with which the Arcariz family liked to act. In the end, after politely asking the green-haired, bespectacled student for the books he had left at the reception desk, Mart sat down at the desk he usually used and opened the book "demonic hearts" once again, after which he began to read:
The importance of the study of chimeras was due to the impact they had at the beginning of the era of ruin, as you could read above, some chimeras possessed several energy cores after having defeated or devoured other chimeras. The demons wondered at that time if there was the possibility of obtaining benefits from the chimera cores in spite of the different nature of their energy, that was how the demons experimented with chimeras of princely rank and discovered that the chimeras that managed to adapt to a new chimera core achieved it from the circulation and absorption of energy, that is to say the transplanted core had to adapt to the chimera, and the chimera had to adapt to the core, until the frequency of their energies became the same; This discovery allowed the medium demons to create the absorption method, by means of which the energy of a chimera’s nucleus could be slowly absorbed, but in the process almost two thirds of the nucleus’ energy was lost, even so it was considered a fairly safe method of demonic growth. There was a second method discovered, but its inefficiency was high and only a few demons were able to use it, those who succeeded were considered blessed since the rate of benefits was over eighty percent; that method consisted in devouring the core of the chimeras, and it was discovered by seeing chimeras getting stronger by devouring the cores of their victims, even so this method was discarded because the failure consisted in the loss of reason and the mutation into a pseudo-chimera.
In the end, I will tell you that it is very likely that the chimeras will be extinct by the time you read this, but it is worth saying that the efficiency of the first method increases to about ninety percent if you manage to master the technique of absorption of demonic energy that I mentioned several lines ago.
The third book I had to read dealt with a subject that eventually became practically taboo among demons at the end of chaos. That was because the knowledge obtained by the medium demons was used by a group of demons that settled in a region other than pandemonium, which they called Sadamia city.
They were the gomorrense demons, who in their lust for power, wondered if the assimilation of nuclei was possible in the demons and for them they experimented the minor demons of their territories, when they realized that the transplantation was possible and that it strengthened the powers of the being that possessed more than one nucleus, they began non-stop killings to obtain the nuclei of the talented demons, and their perversion increased to the point that they only had children to extract their nuclei. That was how the Gomorrenses became the powerful multi-hearted demons. However, they did not stop there, as having mastered the transplants they tried to devour the cores of the king rank chimeras and that is when their true decadence began, many lost control and reason becoming pseudo-chimeras, it is ironic, because they were the ones who contributed the most to the extinction of the prince rank and king rank chimeras, so much for the book. However, I’m sure you would think that the Gomorrenses would stop after failing to devour the chimeras, but they didn’t, as I witnessed them turn their attention to the Pandemonium, and thus began a war between the Gomorrenses and the Pandemonium that stretched from the ends of ruin to the beginnings of chaos.
Now that I have talked about the existence of the Gomorrense and their unwanted transformations into pseudo chimeras, I will show you some drawings so that you can get an idea of how to defeat a demon or multi-hearted being.
Mart turned to the next page and saw the monstrous image of a deformed and mutated humanoid being, according to the information it was a Gomorrense demon that mutated into a pseudo chimera.
As Mart continued to see those drawings, the images were recorded in his mind and the demonic energy began to be absorbed with greater speed by the book that was in his hands, so when he reached the last drawing he stopped and closed the book, but quickly understood the usefulness of the technique of absorption of demonic energy and the energy sensitivity he obtained.
Mart got up, left the books with the green-haired, bespectacled student who only nodded as he put the books away in one of the drawers of the desk at the front desk of the restricted library.
As they left the restricted library, in the main library the lights were still on, and the student at the front desk sheepishly followed every step taken by Mart who left the main library and walked down the hallways to his room.
"What a strange fellow," thought Mart regarding the student at the front desk filling in for Emy, the moment he arrived in the halls of the academy.

Mart walked into his room, the lights were on and in front of his desk Menna was sitting in the chair. She was still wearing the same outfit she had worn to go to the herbalist store.
"A women’s clothing magazine," Mart thought as he looked at the beautiful demons on the cover of the magazine wearing cute casual dresses.
Mart sat on the edge of the bed, Menna looked at him and tossed him the demon ring he had earlier lent her.
