Chapter 342 [Loki’s Cursed Crimson Draconic Necklace]
-----
Two near identical necklaces laid over the table in front of us. They were shining with bright, magical auras, and seemed to be enveloped in a dark and cursed black essence as well. This was due to being Cursed Items. However, I had already explained that it was better to use Demon Blood to strengthen equipment. This way, Cursed Items, once equipped, become soul-bound, this means that if anybody tries to steal them from the wielder while they're alive, the item is going to reject them, or could even attack back.
I had already shown Erika's father the Blade Erika had, which was also a Cursed Weapon, and my own Spear. In fact, he knew about Cursed Items, but using them was often a taboo within the Kingdom, as the Church of Holy Spirits prohibited them due to their dangerousness. However, it was already quite well known by Nobles that some used them anyways due to their amazing

This item's status was simply phenomenal. It enhanced my MP and Intelligence, alongside Agility and Dexterity by merely equipping it. Without even doubting it for a second, I equipped mine around my neck, as I quickly felt the necklace's cursed soul touch my own and create a bond. Immediately after, I felt its power coursing through my veins.
"It works perfectly, now, Erika, wear yours to make the soul-bound contract. With that, nobody will be able to take away that necklace from you." I said.
"A-Alright…" Erika seemed slightly doubtful but trusted me and quickly wrapped the necklace around her neck.
FLASH!
Her entire body quickly resonated with it, as Erika's soul was even stronger than mine currently, mostly because mine was shattered into pieces while her own soul had been strengthening over all this time due to her body nature, her soul quickly made a soul-bound contract with the necklace, making the item glow with a bright golden light.
"W-Woah… What is this light?!" She asked shocked, as a pink veil of essence quickly covered her body and then became invisible.
Her necklace not only had simply shone brighter, but it also seemed to have changed in appearance, as the metallic chains became gold and her jewel redder. It had evolved due to the strength of her soul… That's quite interesting.
"As I told you before, your soul is very strong, Erika, you've upgraded and evolved your necklace by merely equipping it." I said with a nod. "Of course, that was also within my expectations…"
"Ooh… T-Thanks for this gift, Blake… It means a lot to me. I hope it can help when I need it the most." Said Erika with a gentle smile.
"It will." I said.
"Well… T-That was that… Hahh… I am so tired…" Erika's father sighed, as he quickly sat down. "For now, it would be better if you moved back home, Blake, it is already quite late."
"Yes sir, I was already thinking about it." I said, quickly packing everything that was mine and deciding to walk away.
"W-Wait, Blake, can't you stay?" Erika wondered.
"I would like to go sleep in my bed, Erika. I'll come back tomorrow, don't worry." I said.
"Oh… Okay." She said. I gently petted her head, quickly sensing that the magic was working properly.
"Have a goodnight."
As I walked outside of her home, I quickly decided to summon Eleanora at my side in her Energy Saving Mode, or as like to call it [Petit Form]. She seemed jealous that I had gifted such a thing to Erika.
"S-So I guess she's more important than me…" She said while pouting a bit.
"That's not true." I sighed. "Eleanora, don't get jealous with a child. She's just talented and someone that has made my everyday brighter even before you could come at my side, she holds a special place in my heart. A place that not many can enter."
"And how much space does she takes? A quarter? A third? Or half of it?" She wondered while being slightly cocky.
"What sort of nonsense are you talking now?" I sighed. "Let's say that you take over half of it, is that okay now?" I asked.
"Over half of it?!" She asked in shock. "Then my lord should make me a special accessory…"
"You already have a special cursed weapon… But sure. I have already planned in giving you a special item to strengthen you. There are items known as Spirit Armor, which can be worn by Spirits, normal items cannot be easily worn by spirits aside from simple weapons… I'll need to find some recipes first, but I'll make up something to make you even stronger." I said.
"Woof!"
Blood quickly surged from Eleanora's shadows, barking like a small dog.
"And something for Blood too, I hope?" She wondered.
"…Sure. I've heard there are Monster Armor as well." I sighed.
"Hm?"
Suddenly, Eleanora stopped walking towards our destination, looking elsewhere.
"What is it?" I wondered.
"I feel something… somewhere…" Eleanora said. "There!"
Suddenly, she ran behind a large house.
