Chapter 177: Chapter 177: A daughter or not?
Resphi finished her evolution, and to Eren's satisfaction, she hadn't evolved into a loli.
Despite her childish behavior when she was talking to him, she had evolved into a proper girl who looked to be just above twenty.
"Hmm? Is she supposed to have those green marks?" Eren noticed something off about Resphi.
On her shoulders, there was a light green mark. And that wasn't the only place. A similar mark could be found at many more places.
The only reason he even found those marks odd was because Spirit Queen Felona and Estelina didn't have those marks.
If anything, those marks reminded him of his Pendant of Poison instead. His pendant had a similar shade of green.
He couldn't help but wonder if she was poisoned. Although she had absorbed the Spirit Queen's discarded essence, it was still something mixed with his poison to some extent.
He thought the Spirit Queen would have an explanation for him, but she appeared to be just as confused.
She had thought that when her fingers dispersed into Spirit Essence, only the essence was going to enter the earth and not the poison.
That's why she didn't consider the possibility of something going wrong with Resphi's evolution. But she could see that something had definitely gone wrong.
The strange poison had also merged with her Essence and became a part of Resphi's evolution.
She checked her daughter to see if the poison was harmful for her. But even after a thorough check, she couldn't find anything wrong with her. Her essence had a trace of the poison, but it didn't appear to harm her.
Instead, the poison essence had become a part of her. It wasn't as dense or potent as it was within Eren's pendant.
It definitely was nowhere close to what Eren could draw from the Pendant when attacking. But it was still there nonetheless.
When the Spirit Queen explained what might have happened, Eren could only rub his forehead, thinking about the absurd.
'Does that mean Resphi is the daughter of Felona and this pendant?'
The pendant belonged to him. Or rather, it had become a part of him the moment it appeared around his neck. He had tried taking it off, but he couldn't even do that.
If the pendant helped with the evolution of Resphi, it meant indirectly he helped Resphi evolve into this.
In the world of Spirits, evolution was their true birth. And essence was what made it possible. With Resphi, he had become a part of the process.
"You pervert, stop dirtying me with your shameless gaze!" Resphi scolded Eren who was simply observing her.
Her words brought him out of his thoughts.
'And, she's still the same. What was I even thinking? It's just the essence and I'm not a Spirit. What an absurd thought even...'
Eren rejected the absurd thought he initially had.
Just as he finished clearing his mind, he felt his surroundings brighten suddenly, following an explosion. He raised his head and looked at the sky, which was covered in a bright magic circle.
"Hmm? Do Spirits also use Magic Circles?" he thought out loud.
Before he could even wait for a response, he saw a terrifying firestorm descend from the Magic Circle in the sky, targeting the island right above this garden.
....
The Royal City of Spirit Realm had multiple islands, each creating a different layer.
Normally, every person who came from the Border City was supposed to come to the Second Island as the first island was the personal garden of the Spirit Queen.
Only because of Estelina's manipulation, Eren came directly to the Garden from the portal. The others were different, especially the one who forced his way through the portal.
The Necromancer from the Necromancer Tower stepped out of the portal on the second floor, playing with a small black orb in his hand.
The Guards who were stationed right outside the portal saw the stranger come through the portal.
If it was a normal looking person, the Guards might have questioned him. But when they saw his grotesque face and felt his disgusting aura, they were certain that he was not a guest.
They didn't question this person and directly attacked him.
Unfortunately for them, as they attacked the person, an explosion sent them all flying, their limbs flying all around the place, accompanied by fresh blood.
"Now this is a good welcome." The Skeletal Mage laughed heartily as he raised his hand. "I am so pleased, let me fulfill the role of a good guest as well!"
"Inferno!"
Following his words, a Magic Circle appeared in the sky, filled with complicated magic. However, he didn't stop with just one magic circle.
On top of one, he stacked two more magic circles to further boost the strength.
"Even at the border city, there was a good material who survived two. I have even higher expectations for the Capital."
"I will make it even more special for you! Survive three and you would be worthy enough to become materials for our great cause!"
Once the three magic circles were completed, a firestorm descended over the second island, swallowing everything within.
Triple stacked Inferno broke the protective barrier above the second island with great ease. Seeing the scene, the Necromancer sighed in disappointment.
He expected at least some level of improvement from the barrier at the border city.
"Did I really overestimate them?" he thought out loud.
"Hmm? What might this be?"
His disappointment soon turned into interest as he felt something bright appearing in the depths of his flame.
When the flames disappeared, he was able to see more clearly. A woman had appeared in the depths of the Inferno and with just a simple gesture, she extinguished the flames surrounding her.
Even with triple stacked Inferno, the destruction of this city was insignificant, as it was protected by that woman.
"Kekekek, I see. So the best material has finally decided to show up... The Queen of Spirits."
On one side of the Spirit Queen, Estelina stood. On the other side, there was Resphi.
As for Eren, he had landed on the third island, looking down at the second island with great interest.
