Empress' Evolution 26 Debt Ix

"Thank you, boss."

"You have grown stronger, I am impressed, it is truly remarkable."

"Yes, I can feel my strength surging and I gained new skills, would boss like to see?"

"No, I can see it without you showing it to me."

Thanks to her connection to Dhampy, Lilith could thankfully see her status, and it made Lilith froze up for a few seconds after catching a glimpse of her status.

Seeing her stats and her newly obtained skills, Lilith was in doubt.

'Am I the apostle or are you? You're worthy of being called an OP MC, if you have my free points you'll probably earn the t.i.tle of Shadow Lord.'

She remarked but seeing her Loyalty increased by five points, she didn't think much of it other than being more careful around Dhampy.

Whilst Lilith was focus on Dhampy's newly gained status, the first follower approached the white coc.o.o.n of Sylva and touched its smooth surface. She had just been inside this coc.o.o.n earlier and she could still remember the comfort she had not felt for a long time.

She looked down on herself and could feel the fabric of her cloak.

This cloak was as dark as the night, it covered her entire body. Her neck, her arms that that extends to her wrist like long-sleeved clothing, it also goes down all the way to her ankles showing only a part of her feet.

'This is oddly comfortable.'

The baggy cloaked may seem to be hard to move in but it was comfortable to moved in as it reacts to Dhampy's thoughts. It was like Lilith's kimono, it was a dress created from mana.

"Dhampy, follow me, we're going to find a good place to test your newly gained skill."

Lilith woke Dhampy up from her daze; Dhampy followed Lilith closely behind. Like before she was silent and did not say anything unless it was needed.

Walking down the pathway of the front garden, Lilith and Dhampy pa.s.sed through the four Ogres sprawled on the ground, sleeping. Dhampy carefully drew her sword out from the baggy sleeves of her cloak.

Lilith noticed and simply said, "Stop, they are not our enemies."

Dhampy only needed simple knowledge to be informed who is who. Keeping her sword in her sleeves, she became silent.

When they stepped out of the mansion the two of them ran to the direction of Section 5. But she did not have any intention on heading to Section 5, she stopped as soon as she a good target.

[Night Owl LVL 12 (common)]

Lilit pointed at the Night Owl that was perched on a tree of unknown origins. Dhampy had no further questions, she kicked the ground and killed the Night Owl in a matter of seconds. The Night Owl fell to the ground with a thud.

The Night Owl had its body skewered by Dhampy, it died almost instantaneously. She waited for no instruction and did what Lilith and herself wanted to see...

"Rise."

'That command is oddly familiar.'

Dhampy did not know what is going on Lilith's mind and watched the Night Owl's body to tremble and bones began to stuck out of its body and eventually the whole skeleton came out.

"Caw!"

Is what Lilith expected for it to say, but it had no means of making a sound as it was only bones and even if it could it was not a crow.

The Owl moved around and walked towards Dhampy and lowered its head with absolute obedience. It lowered its head and Dhampy smiled despite the exhausted expression on her face.

'The 50% decrease on her HP is rather severe. Her fatigue even shot up to 70%, but she doesn't mind, this girl has a strong mind as I thought.'

Lilith observed Dhampy and she could not help it but notice these subtle things. She didn't care much about the skill, it was a strong ability indeed but it has limitations strictly speaking its conditions and the limitations.

But still, a question still remained...

"Can your summoned undead become stronger?"

"No, they are stuck at this level and they are weaker than when they were alive making them weaker."

"So it's useless?"

"Not exactly, boss. If I can collect more soldier and ama.s.s an army, their sheer number will be a lot of help to us."

"How about the place where you store and cultivate their number? The more we collect the larger the area we will need, where will we keep them?"

"I have already been granted the skill to keep 20 Soldiers, boss."

Dhampy showed Lilith a skill that astounded her little boss. With a wave of her hand, blood-red smoke came out of the ground and dragged the bones of the Night Owl down to the ground.

'It must be the Nether Realm skill. Yup, this girl is dangerous.' Lilith presumed.

The night was still long and a lot of things are to be done, Lilith observed Dhampy's improvements and made sure to never make this undead betray her. She was a good a.s.set and a terrifying enemy so it is a wise move not to began an antagonist.

While she and Dhampy was on the move, Lilith would occasionally look look to the left and then the right. She transformed into the Nightmare Dragonkin and looked at her surrounding.

She stopped dead on her tracks as Dhampy continued to kill and collect daemons. Not that Dhampy didn't feel their presence, it was just that she left it to the one and only boss.

Lilith was silent atop a tree observing the movements of three or so Pixies. These Pixies are sneaking around like annoying bugs, observing Dhampy who was killing daemons with watchful eyes.

Lilith did not know if they are hostile or not, but she didn't took the proactive approach of killing them. Now that she was aware of different tribes existing in this Forest of Beast, Lilith would not kill their kin without reason.

'The Pixies are the rulers of Section 4, they are not nocturnal Hunters, they are not Death Elves. Why are they moving around like this? And Dhampy is their target for surveillance?'

There's only a single time when Lilith recalled her involvement with Pixies, Sylva's rescue. And from what she could tell, they identified Dhampy as an opponent who took their "sacrifice" and is trying to monitor them?

'If that's the case then why are they not attacking Dhampy? Are they waiting for something? Reinforcement perhaps? If that is so, then, we have to get out of here.'

She turned into a yellow feline and channelled her mana to her legs. Boom*, the branch she was resting on exploded and the Pixies were alarm so was Dhampy.

For the Pixies, there's a possible enemy, for Dhampy it was the signal to book it. Dhampy caught on fast, she turned around and left for the mansion, the place where they talked they would meet.

Dhampy ran and the Pixies had no chance of catching a being of the night. Pixies are not too adept on moving around during the night making the results of Dhampy's escape pretty clear.

Haul-a.s.sing like a madman, Lilith reached the mansion and a couple of minutes later, Dhampy returned. She had already lost her pursuers and the two entered the Mansion to ensure their safety.

"What are the Pixies doing here?" Lilith asked, but no one answered her inquiries.

Morning came.

In the end, everything was buried on the back of her head. Lilith played with the Shop as she waited for Sylva to come out. She looked out the window and saw the four Ogres and Dhampy conversing with one another.

'I didn't expect for them to get along and that cloak of hers is really handy.'

Looking at the five, Lilith was satisfied. Earlier today when Lilith woke up, the five were already together, talking with one another smiling and laughing. Except for Dhampy that is.

But even so, the Ogres kept accompanying her, making it a very good sign.

The pa.s.sage of time moves quicker as Lilith fell asleep around noon. The loli woke up at around three hours before Sylva gets out of her coc.o.o.n. She looked at the window and saw the Ogres and Dhampy was nowhere to be found.

Without anything to do, Lilith head out, she reached the second floor and began to hear faint shouts. By the time she reached the first floor where Sylva's coc.o.o.n was at, Lilith could clearly hear their loud exclamations.

Following the sound to where it originated from, Lilith found herself at the back of the mansion watching the four Ogres handling what seemed to be trunks of trees. They are swinging these trunks as if they were swords, in front of them was Sylva were watching them like a drill instructor from h.e.l.l.

Like before, Dhampy noticed Lilith, but this time around, Lilith didn't hide and came out from the shadows. She stood before the lined up Ogres who were sweating like they had just taken a bath.

But still, it was a fascinating sight when she saw their smiles.

"Are you teaching them?"

"I am not, boss. I am merely watching if they are compatible wielding a sword, I have yet to see the essence of their form. But, soon, I'll be able to see it."

"Is that so..."

Without anything better to do, Lilith looked at the Ogres and smiled. Dhampy watched them, and after thirty minutes, did she only shouted the magical word.

"Stop!"

The four ogres collapsed, they have been swinging those trunks for a long time.

"Ahhh, that was tough, ai, Priestess when did you arrive?"

"The Priestess is here? Priestess, Big Sis Dhampy is too brutal, she has no conscience."

Lilith watched them complain but seeing their still smiling faces, she knew that they were satisfied with what is happening.

"Okay, I got your data, I'll be announcing the suitable weapon for you, first, Killa..."

Dhampy was acting like she was above them and Lilith found it odd that the four Ogres were not complaining even a little.

'Is it some sort of hierarchy?' she was unsure.

Once again, Lilith began to wait, and then, when only ten minutes remained, she stood up from where she sat and went to where Sylva's coc.o.o.n was.

The five other daemons followed behind her without saying anything. The Ogres were too tired to speak and Dhampy was her usual self. Ten minutes remained.

"Have you packed up everything you need?"

"I have."

"Good."

Lilith confirmed the important stuff to Dhampy. They are going to leave this place and head for the Ogre Tribe after this.

The neutral area is becoming more dangerous, unknown variables are appearing and the only reason why Lilith wanted to stay is because of Sylva. If not for Sylva, she would have already left after getting Dhampy.

She can't have Sylva dying on her so it was understandable.

Their wait bore fruit as the ten minutes end. The white coc.o.o.n began to spin and show cracks. Mana entered these cracks and a blue appeared. The blue meant one thing, her evolution was successful.

It was the usual sight, Lilith nodded her head in satisfaction. She smiled, but that very smile was wiped off when she saw something distressful.

In front of her was a dashboard regarding Sylva.

[Sylva Qurenara : Silberofer–u003e Silver Wanderer (error)

Name this Species...]

An error, an unexpected error; and as the blue coc.o.o.n finally formed, because of the inexplicable occurrence followed.

An orange light appeared from the coc.o.o.n and this light beamed straight to the sky and the crumbling illusion was lifted. A portion of the mountain disappeared as the illusion lost its effect.

Dhampy noticed this also and her face warped.

"The illusion broke!" her voice was in full alert mode.

Lilith raised her head, she felt something was wrong, and immediately opened the Shop and bought the Low-Tier Spatial Transportation Scroll.

"Everyone gather around me! Alpha, set the destination to the Ogre Village!"

===

[Negative, it can only transfer you 100 kilometre away, I can't take you anywhere near the Ogre Village!]

===

"Then take me to the place closest to the village."

===

[Understood!]

===

A parchment appeared on her hand and she immediately ripped it to two pieces.

[Timer: 60s]

A Low-Tier Spatial Transportation Scroll has this annoying loading time before it activates, it was only 60 seconds but it was enough to make Lilith extremely frustrated.

Only High-Tier Spatial Transportation Scroll can instantaneously transfer. But it cost 500,000 SP so Lilith could only buy this one. She now only has 3,000 and some change.

Lilith didn't intend to use her SP on this kind of thing but right now it was needed so she did not hesitate to buy it.

Lilith touched the still hatching coc.o.o.n of Sylva. The Ogres gathered around her, everyone that is ten-meters around her will be transferred to another place with her.

"What's wrong Priestess?"

"There's something wrong, that light, it's dangerous."

Dhampy and the rest have seen Lilith fight before, but never had they seen her acting like this serious. She was more laid back and didn't stress things out, yet right now she was the complete opposite.

45s

'Hurry!'

She was in a hurry to leave, something was telling her that something was indeed about to come.

30s

Impatience and anxiety blossomed from her heart.

25s

'Quickly...huh?'

"I let you get away to evolve and become a Golden Soul but did not expect it to be this fast. But still, letting you get away was the right choice, isn't it Rawa."

Lilith's eyes widened and her alertness reached the roof right after hearing that voice. It was an unfamiliar voice, it was husky and pleasant to hear, but Lilith felt something that whoever that voice belonged to, he's dangerous.

She hesitated, but still turned her head to the side and saw a man wearing a white robe. The young man seemed to be around his mid-20s. He was handsome and had a well-defined jaw-line. But against his harmless appearance, Lilith could see his true prowess.

[Pixie Lord LVL ??? (epic)]

"Are you the one who helped her achieve this? I don't know what you did but I can feel the Golden Soul has finally formed, thank you for completing the Rawa for me, undead."

17s

He caressed the azure coc.o.o.n and looked at Lilith's crew. He specifically turned to Dhampy. He didn't look at the Ogre because he was aware these Ogres would not help a member of the Pixie race, the little girl was out of the option and the only plausible answer would be the undead.

But then, Dhampy's eyes wandered to Lilith whose brain was calculating the situation with insane speed.

The action she should take and what is the next best thing to do.

[Error, hostile has been detected, it will be transported with you if you try to escape.

It is advisable to back off, if you are to continue with the transfer, ta fight would be inevitable once reaching the destination and your life will be compromised.]

15s

Seeing the eyes of Dhampy travelling to Lilith, the Pixie Lord looked at the loli and then back to Dhampy.

"I won't make things harder for you, I will not kill any of your here if you just give me this one?"

12s

Dhampy wished to open her mouth but then, Lilith finally decided on what she wished to do.

"No."

The four Ogres flinched whilst Dhampy smiled. The Pixie Lord looked down on Lilith and frowned...

"Kid, you may not know what is happening here, but I am not negotiating with you I am giving you the chance to negotiate with me."

But then, Lilith smirked.

"I refuse."

The Pixie Lord was astounded and raised a brow, and with his smile still present, he made his hands as flexible as a whip and tried to take Lilith by the neck.

But...

10s...Transportation Cancelled!

[2 Million SP loan has been given to the Apostle]

Mid-Tier Mana Barrier activated.

Boom!

An invisible wall stopped the Pixie Lord from taking a step forward. Lilith looked at the Pixie Lord and smiled.

"Do you think you control the situation here?"

Lilith jumped up and her feet landed on top of Sylva's coc.o.o.n. He met eye to eye with the pixie Lord and smirked widely...

Lightning Hammer activated.

Boom!

Without any telegraphed motion, lightning came down from above the Pixie Lord and struck him. The body of the Pixie Lord stiffened as the Lightning Hammer momentarily paralyzed him.

The Pixie Lord lost the ability to open his mouth.

"Do you think I'll let you kill my beloved Sylva? You're dreaming...no one can take my Store." Lilith's voice began to turn sharper with every word and her final words were so sharp that it reached only the ears of the Pixie Lord.

Punishment Activated!

Bang!

The Pixie Lord saw Lilith's eyes and a red light appeared in front of Lilith and she waved her hand and some form of mana struck the Pixie Lord's chest.

His chest caved in and then he was sent flying a hundred meters away.

She stared at the Pixie Lord who was glaring at her with red eyes while struggling to stand up from the ground.

A parchment appeared on Lilith's hands and she tore it apart.

Mid-Tier Transportation Scroll activated.

"To the Ogre Village!"

===

[Understood]

===

10s

Boom!

The Pixie Lord kicked the ground and went to attempt destroying the barrier.

But, Lilith will not let him.

Tier Roar Activated!

Lilith got up from the coc.o.o.n, she felt something coming from deep within and unleashed the roar of a tiger.

A loud roar of the Tiger burst out from the mouth of the tiny Lilith blowing the Pixie Lord away and sending him out of the mansion entirely.

0s

A light appeared from seemingly out of nowhere and Lilith, together with Lilith, everyone disappeared from where they stood.

The next thing they knew, was that they were in the middle of the Ogre Village. The Ogres nearby was startled by their sudden appearance.

Lilith got off the coc.o.o.n and that very same coc.o.o.n finally finished its optimization of a new body and soul.

The light shot up to the sky and Sylva who now had golden hair emerged. She was but a mere child, but her cuteness was ethereal and captivating.

"Boss he...heeee, Ogres!" She was startled by seeing Ogres on the time of her awakening and she looked around, trying to find the oh-so-reliable boss head.

"Calm down, Sylva."

"Boss head!"

Sylva went in the hug Lilith and the loli did not fight it, but after a couple of minutes, Lilith pushed Sylva away.

"That's enough, Sylva."

"Yes, boss head."

Sylva was fidgeting as she waited for something.

"You did a good job evolving."

"Thanks, boss head!" She celebrated.

Lilith the turned around and saw the Chief coming their way.

The Chief stopped in front of Lilith.

Lilith looked at him and smiled while nodding her head.

"Good, you're here. Berserker, we're going to war against the Pixies."

Right now, Lilith's situation is not so good. She is uninjured but she has a debt of 2,000,000 SP and the chance of going to war against another tribe is high. While all this is happening, her level is yet to even reach 40.
