Chapter 95 - Minor Ascension (1/2)

The kappa was startled, it then found the stacked pyramid of cucumbers on its side.

The water yokai looked around only to find nobody, mostly the residents doing their own business from afar. The kappa then walked to the front of the small shrine and began to clap its hand two times before bowing, reciting its own prayer.

Meanwhile, MF stumbled upon a natural cave filled with a dense amount of mana. Although it was a little bit far away from the center so the divine energy from Anvriel hadn't reached as much to this yawning cave covered in grass and moss.

”Time to check the 'faith' energy I had accumulated!” MF placed her fist in the air.

The streamline of faith had grown significantly from the anonymous musical performance. Formerly, it was only 217 surging threads.

Now, there were 1,280 streamlines of faith from the people of Ouranos Citadel. The rest did give some amount of faith but it was so little that it didn't affect the amount by much. Averaged at 5 PPs.

From the Domeniul Ceresc itself, it had 312 streamlines. The land was vast, this rate was still amazing by any means.

”What a wonderful day it is!”

Before she wanted to unwrap the divine crystal on her right arm, MF noticed that something was changing within her soul.

It felt warm and energetic. Something was preventing it from bursting and it seemed like it wouldn't be any more beneficial to hold it for much longer. The Nerull's Bane was giving its essences to the center of this energy, turning it even hotter and darkish.

”... Is this what I think it is?”

With a fair share of reluctance, MF opened the lid of her soul as the dense energy began to erupt. Her soul began to change, it had become more sensitive, stronger in presence, and enigmatic. The released energy began to reconstruct the very core of her soul into something much higher.

Suddenly she felt light, extremely light, as if she was above all kinds of planes. Her senses were forced to perceive a bland vast space, there were numerous orbs laid before her.

But after a while, some began to disappear, as if they were saying a goodbye. Each of the orbs that stayed began to represent itself with a symbol, giving their greetings to the new Ouroboros.

There were five orbs, some were stronger than others, some were bigger, some were ominous.

The giant dark orb began to bow, representing itself with a reaper symbol. The message ingrained itself to MF soul.

It was the symbol of 'Death'.

The dark orb launched itself to her, fully incorporating itself to the very base existence of MF's soul, giving her the enlightenment needed.

The second one was a fiery reddish grey orb, flickering with blue so zestful. Instead of bowing, it fluttered about around her, giving a vibrant giant symbol.

It was the symbol of 'Determination'.

With zest, the orb forced itself to MF's soul.

The third one was a green orb, there was a smaller silhouette of growing light, as if something was born the very moment it was presented upon her. At first it backed a little bit before throwing the symbol at her.

It was the symbol of 'Life'
