Chapter 914 Familiar Evolution Materials
-----
There were so many of my Familiars that it was a bit hard to check on everyone's requirements and Status, after all, I have a total of twelve! Yes, twelve Familiars!
How did they become so many?! Am I insane or something? And how come my Soul can just easily hold on to all of them so seamlessly?
A-Anyways, the requirements weren't as crazy as I imagined for the majority, the non-Spirit, or Monsters Familiars, like Sapphire and Scarlet were the easiest, they had no big requirements or specific names, simply asking for Ores, Materials, and so on, their evolution varying depending on that, just like when someone reinforce and upgrades a magic weapon or magic equipment.
Moving on to the monsters, Furoh, Violet, and Glutton, their requirements were slightly interesting. They required materials from monsters similar to them. Furoh and Gluttony needed Mimic Guts, Mimic Eyes, and Mimic Tongues, alongside the hides of ten Tier 7 Monsters for Furoh and Space Spirit Stones for Glutton. Violet needed any sort of Slime Monster materials, Slime Cores, Colorful Slime, Slime Goo, and so on, which we could get from my Dungeon.
And then, the most complex of them were the Spirits. Unlike monsters, Spirits usually never grow outside of a certain level, but through making contracts and absorbing compatible materials, they can evolve into Greater Spirits, Pseudo Divine Spirits, and Divine Spirits.
To jump from Normal Spirit to Greater Spirits, each of my Spirits needs some generic basic material, and another very related to what they embody. For starters, they all need several Spirit Stones of their own Elements, Naturia of Nature, Ignatius of Fire, Curse of Darkness, Beelzebub of Poison, and Brownie, who recently hit max level after evolving to C+ Rank required Earth Spirit Stones.
Those aren't so hard to find, I can find most of the elements out in my territory's wilderness. The Space Spirit Stones for Glutton can be replaced by Dimensional Crystal Fragments after checking on compatibility. I think Glutton needs Space-Attribute Materials due to his composition, as he's a Space-Attribute Mimic Monster now with a giant pocket dimension inside of his stomach.
Anyways, aside from the generic material requirements, which I'll secure in Port City in large quantities, there are the Rare Materials they need.
Naturia needs Elder Spirit Tree Branches, Roots, and a Lesser Yggdrasil Fruit. Ignatius requires True Fire Dragon Blood, Scales, and a Heart. Curse needs Accursed Demon Beast Guts, its Eyes, and also its Tongue. Beelzebub needs Poison Devil Wasp's Stinger, Poison, Legs, and Eyes. And lastly, Brownie requires Golden Star-Nosed Mole's Nose, Guts, Ears, and Claws.
I think I can secure the materials for Naturia with the Yggdrasil tree growing inside my Dungeon, or a few of them, though I don't know how to get the fruit, perhaps if we visit Yggdra in Cloudia, things could be different. As for Ignatius, his body parts are long lost. At least the meat and everything else has been used long ago.
I can, however, use my own blood, the scales of my armor, and maybe even my own heart for that... Though, can I survive extracting my own heart and then regenerating it?! And I'm not even a true dragon, so that's not going to be easy! Maybe it won't even work, ugh.
The last three Spirits evolution materials are powerful and dangerous Demonic Beasts, Monsters that exclusively inhabit the Demon Continent! How will I ever get to those?! My only chance is Dungeons that could spawn them, so I need to start looking for any Dark or Demonic-type Dungeon out there... It's not going to be easy.
While it is believed that Monsters emerged from the flesh and blood of the First Demon King, similarly to the first Demon Tribes, Demonic Beasts are the ones that are always believed to be the Ancient Monsters with the highest purity of Demon King bloodline within them.
Some of them can surpass Tier 10 in power too. I remember that the Sword dad once said he liked to hunt Tier 15 Monsters... He probably meant Demonic Beasts, they're the true Apex Predators of the Demon Continent and one of the reasons why the Human Army is having so many difficulties advancing even after defeating the Demon King's Army even now, and also why they wanted my parents to continue helping them.
And as for Nephi... She has yet to hit max level, so I have little idea what materials she needs to eventually evolve, but I am already guessing that's going to be just as complex as the others, if not more! I bet they'll ask for True Demon Materials and... Maybe God Materials?!
"Anyways, I guess the closest evolutions would be Sapphire and Scarlet, and only if I use the most cheap of materials, I'll use some great ones. Probably I'll ask my parents if there was anything left from Arachne's corpse... Although she was a person though, that would be weird to ask for. I still got her strongest servant's carcass inside of Glutton, so we could use that for now." I wondered, rubbing my chin. "She was a really tough monster to beat. She was a bug too, so why can't I use her for Beelzebub?"
"You could try, but the evolution might end up in a failure and you'll waste those materials. What's worse, failed evolution rituals might weaken or kill the spirit." Said Alice. "It's not wise to do things boldly. I think you'll find the opportunity to get the materials, you just need to look around."
"I guess there's no helping it then..." I sighed, shrugging. "I hope you guys can wait. Also Ignatius, I'm not planning on taking out my heart, that's too gory, to be honest! So we'll wait until the opportunity arises, alright?"
"Ugh, fine." Ignatius groaned. "Naturia could be easier as long as we revisit Cloudia~ It would bring back a lot of memories of my early childhood if we went there, honestly!"
"It would be nice to go meet Yggdra!" Said Naturia. "She had yet to make a contract with Sylphy, wouldn't it be nice if she did?"
"It would!" I nodded. "Though I wonder if my Soul's size is enough..."
A thirteenth familiar might be too much... n()O-.v/)e-(l./b.)1)-n
