Chapter 911 A Bountiful Reward
-----The moment everybody finished the trial, we gained a large amount of Divine Power. I sensed many of my allies' presences explode in divine power. Benladann herself had already reached the threshold to Rank 7, but there was something blocking her from reaching it. Apparently, nobody here was able to reach Rank 7 yet, stuck at Peak Rank 6 or below. I was expecting everybody to turn into Demigods by now, but something was really just stopping them. Is this Frost Tower Rules, maybe? Could it be that they would be able to reach the next Rank if they complete the last Trial then?
[After analyzing Benladann's Mana Core, it appears there's a Divine Power and Mana Blockage inside her Mana Core, this is a thing that seems to happen to those without such great benefits such as your immortality or the System]
How can they break through it?
[By pushing even more energy. Usually, it would take them several dozens of years of meditation to make the energies flow naturally through their mana core, until the blockage is finally destroyed. This would pertain intensive cultivation, but I doubt that's something they can do leisurely as of now, isn't it?]
You're right, I guess they can't do that leisurely now. I guess the best shot is to let them have even more energy so they push through it.
[However, there is a chance the Mana Core might break]
What?
[There's a small chance when the energies are fluctuating that the Mana Core might fail its transition into a Divine Core, and shatter. In such case, the person might even die, or cripple their cultivation and magical power.]
Can I do something about this? Is there a spell that could help?
[With the wide range of Magic Affinities and Spells, there could be a way. I will now dedicate part of my programs to search for such a specific Spell. Until now, check the amount of Divine Power you've earned first]
Divine Power…?
Ding!
[You gained +2000000 Divine Power]
Two… fucking million?!
I couldn't help but feel completely flabbergasted. I was… shocked. Two million Divine Power in one shot. This trial was already a great harvest of Divine Power as it was.
Not only I got some by absorbing my Alter Ego, but now I got some by merely completing it, making it up to 25000000 Divine Power! That's more than enough for a Rank Up, I believe.
While I was summoning my Spirit Kitchen and ordering the spirits to make some food for me, I decided to Rank Up right away, as it meant I could grow stronger, there was no point in holding back- Wait, there was a point.
I quickly stopped myself from giving the order to use the divine power and Rank Up, as I realized something important. If I grow stronger right now, that meant the challenges will also become fiercer. Whatever is waiting for us in the other room might become stronger… It would be better if I don't make our challenges even more challenging for the moment.
As I saw the food be prepared, I noticed some of the girls, including Benladann, were surrounding a gorgeous red-haired girl which I didn't recognized at first glance but that I quickly realized, afterwards, that it was Rose herself.
"Just what happened to you?" I wondered in surprise. "And you're nude now… Let me bring you some clothes first…"
Before I could listen to her answer, I brought some clothes for her and made her quickly wear them to cover her suddenly nude body. She had suddenly turned from a ghost to… a living being? Her body looked completely made out of flesh but had some sort of spiritual essence in strong quantities there.
"I-I… Well, I went through a change. Apparently because I absorbed the reward Divine Power I evolved." Rose said. "I am… I don't know what exactly I am but I am more real than ever, and I don't feel so gloomy as before… Nor so caged in the darkness I once held. But interestingly enough, I still hold it within me, Master. Do you know something?"
Belle suddenly appeared over my head.
"She's a Divine Spirit, without a doubt." She said reluctantly.
"D-Divine Spirit?!"
Everybody surround us was shocked, me included. Rose was a Vampire Ghost I had risen from an Evil Vampire that had attacked the Ice Moon Sect Master long ago, seeking Ruby. Our relationship had been strictly one of formality. I had given her a chance as a ghost and she used her powers to help me in whatever I needed. I never truly paid too much attention because I already had other ghosts at my disposal, mostly made out while I was practicing my Death Magic.
But now that things came to this, I was forced to actually reconsider everything I've been doing with Rose lately… Was I treating her like a tool? What was I thinking of her? Hasn't she changed over this time? What about her feelings about this entire situation? Apparently, Rose changes didn't came just like that.
"An evolution from an Undead Ghost to a Divine Spirit is not something normal…" Belle said. "You… Did your mind opened or something? I feel like you held a lot of emotions and memories caged."
"S-Such things can cause this change?" Rose asked.
"Yeah! They can make all sorts of changes." Said Belle. "Simply turning into Divine Spirit is impossible, you were somehow aided by something else. Is this related to the Trial?"
"Yes… It might be." Sighed Rose.
"Hm… Well then, whatever happened, it's done." I said. "I am just glad you've become stronger and evolved, Rose… Err, there's a lot we could talk later. I want to… reconsider your relationship as well, and what we might do from now on too, as my ally." I said.
"Ally…" Rose said, she seemed slightly happy. "Sure thing, master. Don't worry, I am not going anywhere. I have simply… calmed down my resentment and negative emotions. But my contract is as strong as ever with you."
And indeed, just as she said, I was feeling our contract just as strong as it always has been.contemporary romance
