World Seed 46 Chapter 46

"OGG!" Mogg's voice boomed as Aerwyn got close. He opened his hand and displayed the giant abyssal spider's mana core within it. Aerwyn took it, sliding it into his pocket for now and looking towards the pile of spiders corpses.

"I want some zin beetles... Will the bodies attract them?" Aerwyn changed his gaze to Erit as he spoke.

"Teehee..." Erit giggled to herself. She didn't notice Aerwyn's gaze and appeared to be in her own little world. He could've sworn she was smiling but his mind told him that such a feat was beyond the capabilities of a spider's anatomy.

"Erit... Zin beetles, will they be attracted by the bodies?" Aerwyn waved his hands in front of her face to finally gain her attention.

"Ah! Yes master, the tzintatchik's are mere bottom feeding scavengers. They should be here shortly." Erit awoke from her day dream only for but a moment before giggling to herself and escaping to her thoughts once more. Aerwyn let her be and turned to Velk and Jinn.

"Collect the mana cores and pile the bodies a hundred meters out from here."

"Yes, great one." Jinn still refused to meet his eyes but Aerwyn couldn't be bothered with it anymore, it was clear that resurrection affected everyone differently and until he fully understood his power there was no sense in trying to figure out something so small. Aerwyn turned to Gebb and spoke.

"Gebb, where should we start looking for ore?"

"Dis way mastah."

Aerwyn motioned him to lead, taking the three trolls along just in case an enemy popped out. Gebb followed the cavern wall to the right of the cave entrance and every few steps he stopped to sniff the rock wall which made Aerwyn curious.

"Can you smell different types of ore through stone?"

"Dat i can mastah, da vosk eat ore... No for food, make claws strong." Gebb clacked his six long claws together and swiped the wall, displaying just how strong they were as they pierced straight through solid stone like it was water.

"Dis way mastah, big vein.. ova deya."

They walked for a few more minutes until they were about four hundred meters away from the cave entrance. Gebb stopped and began clawing at the stone. He dug a meter deep before he began to struggle to cut through the dark stone that appeared.

"What's wrong?" Aerwyn asked.

"Strong ore underneath, hard to cut... Mastah no worry, i get it." Gebb sent a flurry of claw strikes and with each one the dark stone broke off revealing a silvery metal behind it. A chunk of the silvery ore broke off and fell by Gebb's feet. Aerwyn picked it up and a.n.a.lyzed it, the ore looked like revarium but he couldn't be sure until he met up with Marik or Lyr's blacksmith.

"This is good, go back to the cave and grab four more vosk. We'll setup camp here for now."

"As you say mastah."

Aerwyn walked back to the entrance and waited for Gebb with the rest of his forces. A few spiders and zin beetles showed up that were swiftly killed by the trolls and Erit. Aerwyn needed souls right now if he wanted to start resurrecting more undead so for the moment anything that came near was simply killed and thrown onto the ever increasing pile of coreless bodies a hundred meters away.

Gebb returned a few hours later and the group moved the pile of bodies over to the area the vosk would be mining. Aerwyn used the formula Tylin had devised of three souls per one resurrection and as a day pa.s.sed he soon had four undead zin beetles. The vosk work was much slower than when they worked the cave due to how hard the ore was but if it turned out to be revarium it would all be worth it. He wouldn't have to worry about money for a while and he could even name a few more undead.

"Master! It's time!" Erit cried out, unable to hold back her excitement any longer. Aerwyn dug through the sack and took out two zin beetle cores before adding in the giant spider core from his pocket and walked over to Erit.

"Here, don't eat them right away. Wait a few seconds after i close my eyes, i want to check something." Aerwyn reached his hand out, displaying the three crystals as if he was feeding a horse and closed his eyes before entering the darkness.

Once inside the darkness Erit's soul was by far the largest and brightest out of all his undead. He watched and waited for the change to happen and after a few minutes it begun. Her soul became increasingly bright as it expanded larger and larger before exploding out in a brilliant display of purple light.

It appeared to expand as far as it was able to before it began to collapse in on itself, shrinking smaller and smaller until there was but a tiny flame much like Aerwyn's soul. He worried something had gone wrong and quickly opened his eyes in the real world to be met with a curious sight.

A pale naked woman stood before him, saying the woman before him was buxom would be taking her too lightly. Her body was like a peculiar work of art that had strange black markings which looked like tribal tattoos in symmetrical patterns along either side of her body. The tattoos appeared to emit the tenebrous smoke as if it were alive and breathing.

Moving his gaze up he was met with a face that could only be described as belonging to a femme fatale. She had long black hair and a smile that seemed to stop his heart but the thing that drew his attention the most was her eyes. Where eight purple flames once burned wildly, there was now two enchanting violet eyes that peered back at him which seemed to draw Aerywn in as if he would lose his sense of self by staring into them for too long.

By all accounts she appeared to be a normal human, albeit a human who's looks could possibly destroy empires but a human nonetheless. Aerwyn watched her as she looked over her body with a curious expression.

"Master, why am i a human?" Erit's voice was now ten fold more enticing even without the help of her voice magic which sent a chill down Aerwyn's spine.

"...What?"

"I should be in my arache form once i evolve, at least that's what mother told me."

"Didn't you say you could switch between the forms of an arache, a human, and a giant spider?" Aerwyn was even more confused than she was as he watched her inspect her new body.

"Yes but my true form would be that of an arache and a giant spider. I'd be able to take the form of a human or any other race only through magic but i'd still be an arache."

"Can you not just transform now?"

"Let me try..." Erit closed her eyes and soon creased her brow before opening them once again.

"I can't... change forms... Master! What's wrong with me?! Am i broken?!?" Erit panicked and grabbed Aerwyn arm.

"First, calm down. Second, I don't know, this is all new to me. Maybe since you were brought back by me you evolved into something different?" Erit released his arm and curiously looked at her wrists drawing Aerwyn's gaze as well. Erit furrowed her brow at the two little b.u.mps protruding out and instantly a silky web shot out from each.

"...Well it looks like you're still a little spider, so at least there's that. Maybe you just need time to figure it out... Here take this." Aerwyn took off his s.h.i.+rt and gave it to her, it was Tylin's so it was already large on him and it should cover all the important bits of Erit's body. Erit glanced at the s.h.i.+rt before moving her eyes to her own body. Looking back up to him she giggled and gave him a coy, lascivious look.

"What's the matter master? Is my body too... much for you?" Aerwyn took a peak at her body once more before closing his eyes and sighing. He quickly bundled the s.h.i.+rt and put it over her head so that it completely covered her face and he began walking away. She stood there unmoving with her face covered by the s.h.i.+rt without making any attempts to remove it and called out to Aerwyn.

"Master where have you gone? Don't leave this poor defenseless little spider in the darkness." Aerwyn gazed back and chuckled at the sight of this new Erit pretending to look around helplessly as if she was unable to simply remove the s.h.i.+rt herself.

"Put the s.h.i.+rt on and explore your new body." Aerwyn commanded still smiling at the silly sight.

"...Master you're so bad!" Erit feigned innocence undoubtedly wearing a playful smile underneath the cloth of the s.h.i.+rt.

"You know what i meant Erit..." Aerwyn face palmed and exhaled a sigh between his fingers as the little spider wiggled through the s.h.i.+rt giggling.
