Chapter 312 - Animate of the Tempest Cliff (2/2)

Hearing those words come from Argentum, Horell could not help but radiate an aura of excitement and expectation, incredibly eager to see Herellia's final form after the Existence Tribulation. As for Argentum, after saying those words, he focused his vision onto the glowing spot in the middle of the dark clouds, which radiated an incredibly intense glow consisting of various colors.

Not only that, but the intent of life and nurturing contained with the iridescent spot was almost a thousand times more intense than the previous batch of iridescent lightning bolts. It was at this moment that Argentum confirmed that the intent of life and nurturing contained within the iridescent lightning bolts was due to the type of lightning bolts being used to make them. Naturally, with both Abyss-level and Genesis-level lightning bolts being used to form this batch of iridescent lightning bolts, it came without saying that the species Herellia would evolve into would be nothing short of amazing.

Bzzt…crash!

And so, after another minute, the glowing spot in the middle had finally broken, sending forth a large number of iridescent lightning bolts towards a certain spot on the ground. Of course, this spot was none other than the spot Herellia stopped at in order to greet the iridescent lightning bolts. It also came without saying that thanks to the strong intent behind the iridescent lightning bolts, the trees that surrounded Herellia at that moment had been felled without a problem, allowing both Horell and Argentum to barely see what was currently happening to Herellia.

Then again, the only thing they could see from where they were was the cocoon of iridescent light that covered Herellia while she was in the process of evolution. Nevertheless, this sight was enough for the two to be at ease as they waited for Herellia to finish with her evolution. Unfortunately for them, the ease they felt did not long as they soon heard a loud scream come from a familiar voice to the two of them.

”Nngggraaahhhh…!”

A scream filled with immense pain and agony soon resounded throughout the area, hastily being picked up by the senses of hearing of the two. In an instant, the two of them deduced that this scream came from none other than Herellia, prompting the two to look at each other as a tacit agreement was formed between the two of them from their aura.

Without hesitation, the two of them stood up and summoned forth all of the strength inside their bodies as they dashed to where Herellia was at the fastest speed they could muster. Along the way, they could not help but radiate auras of worry and concern as the two of them did not want anything bad to happen to Herellia.

Fortunately, nothing bad did happen to Herellia since by that they had arrived, the cocoon of light covering Herellia had been dispelled. At the moment that the two of them had arrived at where Herellia was, both of them were left at a loss for words as they could not believe what they were looking at. Silently, they looked at each other for a bit before looking at the seemingly perfect figure slightly far away from them. Although the two of them could only see the figure's back, that alone was enough to tell the two that the being in front of him was someone who was incredibly powerful.

They continued to look back and forth, only to simultaneously say to each other, ”Is that really, Herellia?”

”What? Who else could it be other than me?” In response, a voice that seemed to give anyone who listened to it a sense of motivation soon came out of that figure's mouth before turning her head around to look at the two behind her. A light smile filled with a hint of arrogance could be seen on her lips, complementing everything from her face to her current wardrobe.

A red robe covering her upper and lower torso could be seen draping over her body, held in place by a black strap that went around her stomach. If one looked closely at the robe she wore, the exquisite design of golden flowers with a pinkish hue at the tips could be seen on the fringes of her robe, which was almost the same type of flower that was placed above her right ear, though it was more of a golden hibiscus than the flowers on the robe.

In addition to her robe, she currently wore black stockings and wooden sandals that came from who knows where, as well as a strap of red and black fabric that went around her right thigh. At this moment, both Horell and Argentum could not help but notice that a puddle of red fluid had appeared under the figure's sandals, wondering if that puddle was due to the evolution she had gone through.

But what stood out to them the most was the fact that the figure's eyes were now lively, unlike from her previous evolution which was lackl.u.s.ter, to say the least. Her irises glistened a beautiful gold, complementing the golden hibiscus above her ear, as well as the crimson red hair that covered her head, flowing naturally with the movement of the wind. Add on the fact that she had earrings on both of her ears, which also came from who knows where, a perfect figure to both Animate and Pseudo-Animate was standing in front of the two, radiating a faint red aura that accentuated the look that Herellia had for her.

Indeed, the figure standing in front of them was, in fact, Herellia in her Animate form (check paragraph comments for ill.u.s.tration!).

Just as Herellia was about to turn around and look at the two behind her with a proud expression, a soft rumble started to resound in the surroundings of the two, only for her to clutch her hands around her stomach as she kneeled to the ground. In that instant, both Argentum and Horell radiated auras of surprise, with Argentum's aura of surprise being more subdued as he already had an idea as to what was going on.

And just as he was thinking about what he was going to do next, Herellia unhesitatingly looked at Argentum and parted her mouth to ask him, ”Argentum, do you know why this part of my body is hurting all of a sudden? It's as if it feels empty.”

Growl….
