Chapter 757 An Incredible New Item!

Of course, there was another material I wanted to add to the mix, the materials from the Divine Sea Dragon creature we fought back in the Dungeon… Which was possessed by the soul fragments of those three annoying goddesses! Ugh, I wish I had these materials, but my parents just took it away and I feel a bit weird if I ask for it out of the blue…
But maybe I should just be more demanding and ask for it. So, I postponed the synthesis and left Violet preparing things up by mixing compatible materials together so the synthesis of the finished product can be done swiftly.
After a quick bath, I walked downstairs and joined my family on breakfast. My mother was constantly talking about the new paladins and knights, she seemed extremely happy of their arrival. To be honest, she was talking so much about them it felt like she was bragging…
"Its nice that the paladins are here, I hope they can protect the city better." I sighed in relief. "Though, I've been working on a gift for Aquarina's birthday, do you know what happened to the body of the Sea Dragon we killed back in the Dungeon we visited last time?"
"Oh, that dragon's body?" My mother asked. "We were really short on funds, so I sold it."
"…Eh?" I asked in shock.
"Sorry about that, Sylph, I didn't thought you would ask for it, seeing how it was too high quality for you to handle yet." My mother sighed. "It was… yeah, it was rather selfish of my part, I did it more for the city."
"Y-You sold everything?!" I was felt shocked.
"Dragon materials are sold for a ton." My father said. "Back then we could afford to just keep everything we hunt, but now that we're maintaining literally a small country, all our accumulated savings disappeared as we invest into Agartha, Sylphy."
"I… I guess, I understand." I sighed, feeling heartbroken.
"Well, it's not as if we didn't left some materials for you." My mother said, smiling.
She suddenly opened one of her bags of holding, and took out a bag filled with blue scales, another bag with fresh organs, and a few bottles with blood. There was even a bottle with three enormous eyeballs, fangs, claws, and small crystal fragments.
"M-mom… So you saved parts!" I felt happy.
"Yes I did!" She sighed. "Sheesh girl, do you think your mother is a heartless woman or something? But I was saving them for a birthday gift once you grew up or entered the Magician Academy… For now, you can pick something from it for Aquarina's gift."
"Aw, but we killed it, shouldn't this be ours at least?" I asked while feeling slightly greedy.
"Maybe…" My mother sighed. "If you want the rest, show me something that can impress me."
"I guess I can't fight against you in that regard…" I sighed inwardly. "For now, I'll pick up one of those blue colored jewel fragments, those are the dragon's crystalized heart core, isn't it?"
"You're smart." She nodded. "Dragons are special, much like most Demons, they can develop a crystallization of their magical power in the area of their hearts. The stronger and older they are, the richer and bigger this crystal becomes, which in exchange also makes their magic even stronger. This dragon was rather young, but it had an exceedingly rich Dragon Heart because it had somehow grown to that size by fusing with those soul fragments of the… the goddesses in there."
"It even has a hint of divinity…" My father analyzed. "Are you sure you can use this properly, Sylphy?" My father wondered. "I am no expert, but items of too high qualities could fail the synthesis and explode, right?"
"I know, but a tiny piece of it won't do too much bad, right?" I giggled. "I'll take what I can!"
"W-Wait, big sis, I want to see too!" Zephy quickly followed me to my room.
"Eh? Are you sure?" I asked.
"Yes!" Zephy nodded.
"Well okay, but it won't be anything too crazy." I sighed.
And seconds later, as the materials converged together one after the other…
RUMBLE!
FLUOOOOSH!
A gigantic mass of darkness and water emerged, shaped as a mix between an insect-like demon and a dragon, roaring furiously.
"GROOOOAAARRRRR!!"
"Uwaaaah!" Zephy cried in surprise while sitting in my bed. "Sylphy what did you do?!"
"Ah, this?" I wondered, pointing at the thing, and raising my sword. "Oh, these are called Alchemy Spirits, they appear when the materials are too high quality! But don't worry, when you beat them, the creation of the item improves!"
FLASH!
I quickly leaped towards the manifesting Alchemy Spirit, swinging my sword multiple times and unleashing a barrage of blazing slashes imbued with holy light element.
"[Holy Light Blade Arts]: [Mirage Blades]!"
Suddenly, dozens of replicas of my own slashing attacks surged one after the other, multiplying the damage dealt tremendously.
SLASH! SLASH! SLASH! SLASH! SLASH! SLASH!
"GROOAAARRRRHHHH…!"
The giant Alchemy Spirit was cut down into pieces as it was covered in countless, glowing golden-colored slashing wounds, until it exploded into black smoke.
POOOF!
And then, it quickly retreated inside of the boiling Cauldron, where Violet mixed and munched everything together in her internal body and then…
"[Synthesis]!"
By unleashing Synthesis several times, all materials came together as one at long last.
FLAAASH!
A beautiful ring finally emerged from within! It was dark blue and purple colored; with a small jewel whose left side was purple and the right side was dark blue in color.
It shone with a powerful aura of darkness, while exuding the coldness of ice, and the powerful pressure of the ocean.
