[That recited, her free hand moves back to the Bible, and touching two pages of it, she creates two Black Keys from them. Squeezing the hilts between her joints, she also takes the opportunity to carve in the respective spell sigils on the hilts with her magic. Then, with care and precision that completely contradict the act, she takes one, and with a low gaze, gingerly slides the blade into the corpse's stomach. No visible blood is spilled from the wound, but the effect is instantaneous.
It's not so much accelerated decay, than just... rapid dehydration. Sergei's corpse seems to almost be sizzling as what appears to be a white vapor rises and evaporates just as quickly from his being. The flesh was swiftly losing volume and the skin was wrinkling, as all the water proceeds to be drained from every pore of the body.
The process only took a few seconds, but it wasn't a pretty sight. The moment that she deemed it enough, she pulls her hand back, and the Key disappears with it. Picking up the second Key that she previously summoned from her other hand, she pierces the body again at the same spot. It immediately bursts into flames and she moves backward, removing the Key as she recalls it too, for it has served its purpose of executing the spell that it was assigned with.
After lingering her gaze on the swiftly burning body for a few more moments, she closes her eyes. If this was a normal corpse, then it should burn down to nothing soon enough.]
