Chapter 208 - New Allies (2/2)
”Fenrir Zephyron greets you, Master,” the first being respectfully bowed before saying these words.
”Charisa Flamerei greets you, Master,” the second being said after the first being was done, respectfully bowing as well.
”No need to bow to me, Fenrir. Charisa,” Aurus said to the two of them, which left them radiating auras of slight confusion. In response to their auras, Aurus went ahead and said, ”We're inside the Tower of Seclusion, which means there's no need for formalities whatsoever.”
”Anyways, I've summoned the two of you out of the system for a very special reason,” Aurus added, to which the two radiated auras of interest.
”What might it be, Master~?” Charisa was the first one who asked Aurus this question, to which Fenrir nodded in response, telling Aurus that he had the same thoughts as well. Without delay, Aurus let out a chuckle before saying, ”I've summoned the two of you out of the system because we're going to meet the three new comrades you two are going to have!”
”Oh?” Fenrir and Charisa simultaneously said, with Fenrir wagging his wooden tail back and forth in excitement while Charisa's head flame intensified in brightness due to excitement as well. In response to their excitement, Aurus went ahead and said, ”System, summon Eu & Phoria, Terrence, and Marielle!”
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
It did not take long for three rays of light to appear out of Aurus's body, with each ray of light directed towards a certain spot in the room Aurus was in. Fortunately, these three rays of light were directed at the center of Aurus, Fenrir, and Charisa, allowing the three of them to get a good view of the three new Allies.
Whoosh!
Soon enough, the three new Allies had revealed themselves to the three, with Charisa saying at the very instant the new Allies had revealed themselves to them, ”Master, they look…weak.”
”How dare you call me weak!” Surprisingly, one of the three new Allies had responded to Charisa's words, which surprised Aurus as he knew very well that these allies were all at the C-grade Inanimate level. Not long after that, two voices from the new Allies resounded, saying, ”Master…not powered up…us…yet…”
It did not take long for Aurus to find out who from the new Allies were responding to Charisa's words, with the one replying in an eloquent manner being the one with an Omega-grade potential, [Marielle Glaciesta]. As for the two voices that replied at the same time, that came from the A-grade turned SS-grade, [Eu & Phoria].
In response to this, Aurus could not help but focus his sense of vision on the remaining Ally that hasn't talked yet. He went ahead and asked this new Ally, ”Can you speak as well, Terrence?”
”…” Terrence, who was the only Ally that hasn't spoken yet, remained silent for a few seconds. Eventually, a word came out of this Ally, saying, ”…Yes.”
”I'm quite surprised the new Allies you've summoned can already speak, Master,” Fenrir could not help but say, slightly surprised. He then added, ”Anyways, why did you summon them, Master?”
”In preparation for my next evolution,” Aurus responded to Fenrir's question. He then added, ”Well, that's the first reason. The second reason is for our fusion attack to grow stronger, while the third reason is for you two to have more comrades to work with.”
”I see…” Fenrir muttered in response. Surprisingly, after Fenrir was finished asking Aurus this question, a voice resounded throughout the room, asking Aurus, ”Uh…are you my Master? Can you go ahead and increase my power as fast as possible? I want to show these two inferior beings who's superior.”
”Hm?” Not expecting the question, Aurus could not help but ask, ”Who said that?”
”It is I, Marielle Glaciesta, Master,” Marielle responded to Aurus's question, whose appearance was a puddle of water.
”And by inferior beings, who are you referring to?” Aurus could not help but follow up with this question. In response, Marielle said, ”Of course, it is the two beings beside me that are on the same level. I can't believe these two are standing on the same ground as me.”
”I have a feeling I won't like this puddle of water, Master,” Charisa could not help but say. As for the two Allies beside Marielle, Eu & Phoria replied with, ”How rude…you're no…different…”
While Terrence replied with one word, saying, ”…Rude.”
Feeling that this situation might escalate, Aurus let out a long sigh before saying, ”Alright, alright. Marielle has a point. That's what I'm planning to do before evolving anyway.”
He then focused his sense of vision towards Charisa and Fenrir before asking them, ”I have a ton of unused experience points to max out your levels. Is it fine if I evolve them first before I max you two out?”
”I don't see any problem with that, Master,” Fenrir said in response to Aurus's words. He then added, ”I'm also quite curious as to how they look at a higher grade, Master.”
”I feel the same way, Master!” Charisa voiced out that she shared the same opinion as Fenrir. But then, her sense of vision was soon focused on the puddle of water before she sent a strand of energy towards Aurus, saying, ”Though I feel like that arrogant puddle of water would probably become ugly at a higher grade.”
In response to Charisa's secret message, Aurus let out an awkward chuckle before taking in a deep breath through his body. He then said, ”Alright, it's time for you three to become stronger.”
”Theresa, max out the levels of these three new allies,” Aurus soon said to Theresa, who was on her left shoulder. Theresa soon responded, ”As you wish, Master!”
Whoosh! Whoosh!
While Theresa was allocating the unused experience points Aurus had towards the three new allies he had summoned, Charisa could not help but notice Theresa and ask him, ”What's that on your shoulder, Master?”
”That's Theresa. My personal assistant,” Aurus responded to her question before adding, ”It's more or less the personification of the system I have.”
”I see,” Charisa said in response to Aurus's words. Not long after, she went closer to Theresa before saying in a cheerful tone, ”Hello there! I'm Charisa, one of Master's Allies! Nice to meet you!”
Surprisingly, while Theresa was still allocating the unused experience points, it turned its head to look at Charisa before smiling and saying, ”It's nice to meet you as well, Charisa~”
Ding!
Just as Charisa felt that Theresa was incredibly cute, Theresa looked at Aurus before saying, ”Eu & Phoria, Terrence, and Marielle have now reached their maximum levels, Master. Would you like to evolve them?”
Without hesitation, Aurus let out a chuckle before responding, ”Of course.”
”As you wish, Master,” Theresa responded as the three new Allies in the center had changed their appearances after their evolution.
The first one to change was Eu & Phoria, whose appearance a pair of wilted flowers at the C-grade Inanimate level. After evolving to B-grade Inanimate, they had transformed into two flowers that were slightly dead with a bit of grass on their roots.
As for Terrence, whose appearance was a small pebble at C-grade Inanimate level, had now transformed into a slightly larger pebble.
And lastly, Marielle, whose appearance was a puddle of water at C-grade Inanimate level, had transformed into a slightly larger puddle of water.
Aurus could not help but look at the three and mutter to himself, ”Why do they look like they belong to some sort of miniature garden?”
