Chapter 491 Sylphy's Little Brother

-----

The Curse that Furoh had inside of his soul ended becoming a Spirit. Apparently when I used his powers to devour the soul of Lilith, he freed himself from his chains and by combining his power with mine, he evolved into a spirit almost automatically, a pact between the two was formed also just as easy.

Now I have this strange spirit that is a living Curse. The only thing he can do is do that weird Black Hole thingy that could even hurt Gods, although only their projections. And I am pretty sure it only hurt them because they're Evil Gods. The Curse is named "Curse of the Devourer of Darkness" for something after all.

"Well I guess we can just call you Curse like always." I said with a nod.

"Curse is not a name though!" He said angrily.

"Whatever… Anyways, maybe I should check everybody's stats… Wait, I do remember I had something else inside my soul scape…" I said.

"Yes, there's the Soul of the Blue Demon." Said Alice. "He's still sleeping, though he was awake in the fight, and seemed to react to the fight against Lilith… I think he even absorbed part of her soul or something, but he's still sleeping, as if becoming something else."

"Weird… Maybe he'll become a True Demon Spirit like the one Celeste had, but an actual one and not a weird phantasmal thing that was only hurting her more than anything." I wondered.

"Hm, only time will tell. Although we could try to get a catalyzer to hasten his development. If my theory is right, he seems to have an innate ability that connects him with Demons and True Demons, maybe if you get a new weapon using materials from the True Demon Dukes, he might be able to react." Alice said.

"I see… Sounds like a plan." I said with a smile. "Heheh, if we have him in the team I wonder if we could recruit goblins and form an army…"

"I doubt that would be a good idea…" Alice sighed. "Also you've got a lot of accumulated EXP, and your Spiritual Blessing and Ember Skills reached Level 10 a week ago. I can only evolve them with your input though, as I need your confirmation… Also, Mana Usage is at a high level as well."

"I see! Maybe we could evolve them right now-"

"Sylphy!"

However, before I could even do that, I was interrupted by my father and my mother's voices, as they ran inside the tent. I also realized mother was carrying a… baby in her arms.

Oh my god.

My little sibling was born when I was sleeping?!

"Mom! Dad! And… sibling?!"

"Ah…" My father quickly looked back at my mother.

???????????????? ???????????????????????????? ???????????????????????? ???????????????????? ???????? ????????????????????-????????????.????????????

"Surprise!" My mother said happily. "He's your brother, his name is Zephyrus, but you can just call him Zephy! And… He's very sleepy and small, and loves to cry all the time unlike you."

"Yeah it is surprising how different you two are." Said my father. "Anyways! We are glad you're awake, we were… very worried." My father hugged me and kissed my forehead, my mother did the same.

"Are you feeling alright?" They asked at the same time.

"Yeah, I am alright but why I can't move my body? And what are these leaves?" I wondered.

"These leaves are special medicinal leaves I got from my sister back in my homeland. They're specially made to wrap around people that is very wounded after being healed. It generates a type of comatose state where the body concentrates its mana and nutrients into healing all wounds completely. It takes a while and they usually sleep for a while. When they wake up, they're completely healed. It took you a week. My magic power was too weakened back then. Now after I finally gave birth I am recovering my strength, but it'll take a while for me to conjure stronger magic…" My mother explained to me everything I wondered about the leaves.

"I see… I am glad things went well…" I sighed. "Ugh, I am very hungry… Wait, can I free myself from these leaves now?"

"Yeah, they're as stiff as a rock once they're wrapped around someone, so we need to break them. Leave it to me." My father quickly began breaking apart the leaves one by one, which broke as if they were made of wood or stone, even.

When I was finally freed, my nude body was revealed to the onlookers, Aquarina, Zack, and Ninhursag. But I quickly noticed there were no scars at all, even old scars were gone too.

"Let's cover you with something first dear." My mother quickly threw a blanket over my body to not show anyone my body anymore.

"Mom what were those leaves though?" I wondered.

"They're Yggdrasil Leaves." My mother said.

"Eh?!" I asked.

"They're very expensive leaves harvested from the Lesser Yggdrasil Tree growing in the Atlanta Continent. They're incredibly big trees connected to their mother, Yggdrasil, and they control the flow of life and mana in the entire world, not just Atlanta. Elves protect these trees with their lives. Only the royal family can get these leaves, they're incredibly expensive, nobody else would be able to afford them normally…" She said.

"Woah… Now I feel really privileged…" I sighed.

"Well, you kind of are, but you're an elf princess. However, the other one over there… Did she deserved them?" Asked Zack angrily.

"We had spares, Zack. Don't be rude." Said Ninhursag.

"Celica's alright?" I wondered. "She had yet to wake up…"

"Her wounds might take a longer while to recover, but she should be fine now, she's stable." Said my mother. "We need to talk about her later, with Mary and Mist, possibly."

"Yeah… I… It is a hard topic to talk about." Said my father.

"But don't worry, we are not mad at you for what you did." My mother said. "In fact, we are rather proud that… you've forgiven her life instead of trying to take it away. It shows how mature you are, you make us proud."

"Indeed." My father said. "She went through a lot… I don't think she's fully at fault by what happened, she was manipulated after all."

"Ah, I am happy you're not going to reprimand me for that…" I was so happy I sighed in relief.

"But we'll surely reprimand you for everything else." My mother looked at me.

Her presence became almost ominous… until the little Zephy woke up from his nap and began to cry.

"Buaaaahh! Buaaahhh!"

"Oh, snap… I'll go back to my tent for now…"

Mother will be very busy with my little brother from now on…
