Chapter 915 Exhausted Quest System
-----
"Wouldn't it be nice if the Quest System could give me the materials, easy peasy?" I wondered.
Ding!
[The [Quest System] is exhausted!]
[They say that without enough Causality Accumulated, it is impossible to generate such complex materials. It is much easier to make specific potions, or weapons and armor than body pieces of specific monsters or a true dragon.]
[The [Quest System] has already generated many quests a few weeks ago, and has been resting ever since then, as its many rewards exhausted its Casualty reserves.]
[If you want materials like these, you'll need to first create such a Fate-changing event that the entire world would shake...]
"I guess that's pretty unrealistic, alright." I sighed. "We'll have to just wait and see what we can do... I wouldn't want to shake the world for now, if possible, I want to grow stronger quietly."
"And well, there's that over there too..." Alice said, as we all looked into the distance of my Soul Scape, a large cocoon made of condensed black, crimson, and purple energy was constantly palpitating, swirling around monstrously as it remained silently resting.
Within it, we could sense several different yet monstrous souls merging fusing together to create something else entirely... For the last few years, this thing has been developing inside my Soul Scape.
Nope, it's not a parasite or something, its actually a Spirit. Yes, a Spirit that has been forming itself out of the residual soul fragments of the True Demons we defeated back in Eastgrain, the Blue Demon that controlled the Goblins, and also now the Fragments of Arachne and her subordinates, small ones though.
All of them started to merge together for a while now. I've already got a "catalyst" to their power like with Ignatius being the earrings and stuff, its within Scarlet's composition, as she was fused with the core of Lilith, one of the True Demon Dukes that attacked Eastgrain.
"When will that thing hatch? It has grown larger since Arachne's whole incident..." Ignatius sighed. "It is unnerving to see most of the time."
"Sylphy's Unique Ability to create Spirits through the Souls she absorbs is very unstable, and we don't know yet how it truly works." Alice explained. "This new Spirit must have gone through some sort of process where it couldn't properly make itself, so it has stayed developing for a long time. Perhaps because of the composition of the True Demons Souls, which are so alien."
[The [Quest System] says that because these souls were so alien and couldn't be properly processed, they remained fusing and swirling together, attempting to become something, but ultimately failing.] n--Ovelb1n
[However, things have finally changed now that the fragments of many compatible Demons of this world have emerged. The Fragments of the Soul of the Blue Demon alone weren't enough, but thanks to Arachne and her many other strong subordinates, things must have changed.]
"It's perhaps because they went through True Demonification, where a Demon from this world and fuses with the souls of True Demons into a strange ritual, channeling it within their Cores." Alice explained. "Because of this, although their souls are still from our world, and therefore can be processed by your Soul's special ability, they are also compatible with the True Demon Souls, finally making them capable of fusing, and now, the process of turning into an actual spirit has finally begun... Whatever is born from this cocoon might be the strongest spirit so far."
"Stronger than me?! Preposterous!" Ignatius said pridefully. "Once that egg hatches I will already become a majestic Greater Spirit Dragon King God!"
"Oi, oi, I don't think you'll become all those things." I facepalmed.
"Hmmm... It is certainly strange." Beelzebub sighed. "To think some of the fragments of my disciples would come united as one I this chimeric spirit... I do wonder if the new life will inherit their minds or personalities?"
"At this point its unclear, but I highly doubt it. The fusion is so strong that whatever was left of their wills has long ago been absorbed and assimilated into a single organism." Said Alice.
"Interesting, its composition is somewhat similar to my own." Curse analyzed. "Fascinating, very fascinating. Whenever this is born, Sylphy, you might end up acquiring an incredible power similar to the Curse you possess. If not higher!"
"Aren't you exaggerating a bit?" Furoh wondered. "I just hope we can just get along with it..."
"Well, yeah, let's hope for the best." I nodded.
I spent the rest of the hours I slept with my many Familiars, playing, talking, and also training their Skills and Magic, so they could grow stronger even if they hit max level. After all, they've got Skills to level up anyways.
I wanted to check on my Dungeon, but to do that we would need to move in there, and I prefer to wait a little for now until we get to Azurite. Though through the last weeks I've accumulated a nice chunk of Dungeon EXP and Dungeon Energy, and the new species introduced had been proliferating nicely.
But oh well, I might as well just enjoy my girlfriend's company as I cuddle with her. I don't think there's anything more cozy than her being at my side like this...

"Sylphy? Wake up!"
Suddenly, I slowly opened my eyes as I found Lara at my side, Aquarina nowhere to be seen.
"Ah, Lara... Where's Aquarina?" I wondered.
"She went to the bathroom I think..." Lara said. "Anyways, let's go eat lunch with everyone else! You've been sleeping for hours, sleepyhead!" She gave me a few head pats.
"A-Ah, yeah, I'll go after I find Aquarina." I nodded.
"Alright~" Lara quickly ran to the dinning hall in the huge airship.
I wonder where Aquarina is though, did she really went to the bathroom as Lara said?
I closed my eyes and spread out my senses, until I finally sensed her, not so far as I imagined her to be, although she was with someone else, someone strong.
Her mom?
I made my way towards her, crossing through the corridors, until I reached their room. With my senses, I could more or less listen to what they were discussing rather easily, even if unwillingly.
"Aquarina, it's for the best of you... We NEED to do this... I know it hurts but-"
"But I don't want to leave Sylphy behind!"
W-What are they talking about?
