Chapter 1143: A New Elemental Orb
-----
It was like my own Inventory, but she had her own little Inventory where she threw her stuff into, which quickly disappeared from within a small blue portal. Like that, Kate completely threw off the crown, she wasn't interested in it… I guess that's fine, it's not like she can gift it anyways.
"Okay I'm gonna use it on you Miranda, I've decided!" Benladann said.
"Eh? But what about little Shiro?" Wondered Miranda.
"Well you're obviously more important, also Shiro's evolved recently, look." Benladann showed Shiro who emerged from around her neck, it had indeed grown very long, and now had four small legs, and a more dragon-like appearance than his formerly snake-like one.
"Agh, fine, let's see if it works." Miranda sighed, giving up to Benladann's goodwill.
"There!"
FLAAASH!
The ticket shone brightly, as it flew directly towards Miranda, the powerful divine light covered her Ice Giant form body. Her body height didn't changed, she remained small for an Ice Giant, but her hair turned completely black from the former silver color, and her eyes glowed bright red.
She gained a pair of black horns popping from her forehead, and she even got… a tail?! It resembled the tail of a demon, black and pointy. Wow, did she evolved into one or something?! Once the evolution was done though, she exuded a powerful Aura of Darkness Element… and her unique Element, Mold, alongside Chaos.
"W-What the heck?" Miranda wondered in surprise. "Did I kind of became another race or something? Also it doesn't feel… as liquid. Like… my current form seems just right and solid, how odd…"
When I checked her status, it said she had become a [Miasmic Demon Spirit]?! Wait, so this was her evolution option? Certainly she was never an ice giant, she was merely mimicking their appearance through her abilities.
But to think she could become an actual Demon… But what are Demons anyways? This world doesn't really have Demons, it has Majin, a race of "demon-like" folk, but they're not actually Demons in their status, I've seen tons in Heaven Port to know this.
"I become something like a Demon…" Said Miranda. "Weird, right? Ugh, maybe you shouldn't had evolved me- GUH?!"
"Uwaaah! So cute!" Benladann ended hugging Miranda and petting her. "Also you seem way more solid as well, maybe you've attained a True Form?"
"True Form…" Miranda was surprised by this.
True Form was something Miranda lacked, she was a largen mass of Miasmic Mold Slime, so she always felt like changing shapes all the time. But it seems the last shape she took, the ice giant shape, was slightly modified, giving her demon traits, and turning it into her True Form.
"Hmmm…" Miranda quickly shapeshifted her body around, scales grew in her body, or she grew a giant crab claw, or the head of a shark, she still had all her previous abilities. "Wow, I guess I still have all my shapeshifting stuff AND I can also stay in this comfortable True Form! Wow, okay, this is great!"
Her doubts quickly banished.
"Doesn't she look cute?" Benladann wondered.
"Yeah she looks gorgeous. Do you feel happier in a more defined form now?" I wondered.
"Yeah… I've always been rather worried about these things… That I truly had no shape…" Sighed Miranda. "Maybe this shape I've been taking which now became my True Body… it is my true identity, who I actually am…"
"It is nice to think positively like that." I said happily. "Do you girls feel hungry? Maybe we should eat some meal before departing-"
FLAAAASH!
Suddenly, an orb emerged in front of us before I could even finish what I was talking about. The orb glowed with an orange glow and seemed to emanate the elemental power of Earth.
And then, the same voice as before…
"The Protector of the Desert of the End fell, and the gods took over the end of all things…"
Ding!
[You acquired the [Orange Orb of Earth (??? Grade)]!]
-----
[Orange Orb of Earth (??? Grade)]
A mysterious Orange Orb imbued with the mystical power of Earth itself. It contains a primordial power within this world, and it might react with the Tree of Yggdrasil once you collect the other four Orbs.
-----
"So this Orb and the voice… they resonated again." Benladann said in surprise.
"Wait, does it means… The Ancient Gods, those guys that all died did this? We are like… repeating the things they did?" Miranda wondered.
"Yeah, dreams are like this, we play the role of those involved with it…" I sighed. "This means this Dungeon… the memories in which this Dream Dungeon was made of must be those of the actual tree of Yggdrasil."
"But such an old memory…" Sighed Benladann. "I do remember the tales of the very Old Gods, and how their greed destroyed them, but this is… quite sad to hear."
"We'll learn more about the truth once we get the other three Orbs." I said. "Let's get moving for now. Benladra, can you bring us to the jungle now?"
"Oway!"
"Jungle!"
Benladra and Kate seemed pumped up, as Whitey, Benladra's Gryphon, flapped his wings majestically, flying across the skies and bringing us to the faraway jungle, the place where I also felt a strong elemental essence. This must be the place where another Field Boss is located.
The jungle was a beautiful and vast jungle, each step we gave around it we heard the sound of animals scurrying around. Birds, monkeys, even boars and other creatures, they were all roaming this place. Colorful flowers and all types of plants were everywhere, it was a beautiful place to behold, we could easily get absorbed by this beauty and just explore the wondrous of nature for hours…
"This place's so relaxing to be…" Sighed Benladann. "Feels like a while since we visited a place with tons of nature."
"Yeah, even if this is like a dream, it really feels very real." Sighed Miranda.
"Flowe!"
"Hmmm!"
Benladra and Kate were picking up colorful flowers as we traveled leisurely.
However, the sound of creatures approaching could be heard at the distance as well.
