Seeing three fairies acting like thugs definitely gave me a lot to think about. There were a group of fairies in Chalm, but fairies were a bit like bees. Other than the queen, they were drones. Not only were they under the control of the queen, but their intelligence was pretty lacking. They were effectively children. Even the fairy queen was only a bit smarter. Astria was different because of her life experiences as well as the lore she gained while she was a demon. As for Celeste, she was different because she was half-human, and had been transformed into a Sylph.noVe.lb)1n
It seemed like any fairy had the potential to evolve into something else based on the pressure put on them. I had only found a single book about fairies, and I hadn’t understood what it meant until somewhat recently. Now that I knew about the Fey and the Faerie Plain, I knew that faeries were native to this world. Unlock many beasts and species, they weren’t from dungeons. This is why they could create fairy springs.
Faeries could also evolve into other beings. Celeste had become a Sylph, while Elaya was a Dark Fairy. They had both been Fairy Queens before they reached that point in their evolution. There were supposedly others, but I hadn’t obtained the names of any of them. For these three fairies to be intelligent enough to shake down a city, they would have had to go through some kind of evolution. That left me quite curious about them.
“He’s got a blade that can hurt us! Flee!”
I disappeared and then reappeared next to the first fairy, grabbing her as she called for the others to run. She let out a cry as I grabbed her and picked her up and examined her. Even though she was at a normal human size, I was over six feet tall. Man-handling her was rather simple. Her wings weren’t dark like Astria’s wings, nor where they were a translucent color that reflected colors like a bubble, which was the best way I knew how to describe Celeste’s wings.
These wings were more feather-like. The ends weren’t rounded but came out in plumes with long thin feelers. They were still pretty, but they looked somehow fragile comparatively.
“Ahhhn! D-don’t touch!” She cried out as I felt her wing.
“What are you doing to her!” The other fairies had shrunk to smaller sizes and flew up to avoid me, but they weren’t willing to run while I held the leader in my grasp.
“Bully!” The other added.
“We’re you mugging a town?” I asked, pulling out a knife.
“Ahhhh! Wh-what are you doing?” The leader cried out as I brought my knife up to her wing.
“Be calm. This won’t hurt.”
“N-No... Ahhhn... Not that... Ahhh...”
She twitched and squirmed as I held her body with one arm and moved the knife across her wings with the other. The other two shook in fear and worry. Thankfully, after being knocked back and realizing I could fight, these fairies could only yell.
“What are you doing?” One of them demanded.
“I am out of fairy dust,” I explained. “Fairy dust is actually something fairy wings release. It’s how fairies fly, and also how they turn springs into fairy springs. As you bathe in the water, the resin on your wings slowly mixes with it.”
“How do you know so much about us?” The other fairy demanded.
“Well, I have figured out some things. I don’t know everything. For example, I still don’t know how you guys reproduce. You’re all female, you don’t get pregnant, but once a fairy spring exists, more and more fairies just keep appearing. The other thing I don’t know is what type of fairy you guys are. I’m going to fix that now.”
I took the dust I had extracted from her wing and then slapped it against her body. I activated the combination skill god and devil eye. What was the god and devil eye? It was a combination skill. I had already used fairy dust to create a combination skill once. For whatever reason, you could only create a combination skill once per magic source. However, I had recently learned you could create combinations by using two different magic sources.
Lydia had unlocked god eye using her scout evil eye, but I no longer could borrow her skill, as she wasn’t a slave of mine anymore. So, instead, I took some miasma and fairy dust and combined it with Evil Eye. This created the new skill, God and Devil Eye. I guessed fairy dust as a pure source of mana was God, and Miasma, the enemy of this world, was Devil. How did it differ from God Eye?
“Ahhhhhhnnnn... hah... hah... hah... not there...” She cried out when I touched a certain spot on her wing.
“Her sexual weaknesses, this ability truly is that of a demon.”
