《Empress' Evolution》21. Debt IV
Advertisement
After a few crying and consoling scenes between a lass and a mature loli, Sylva officially gained the right to evolve into a higher state of being.
Lilith waved her hand and showed Sylva her choices.
"Pick one; choose the strongest and the evolution you want."
Unlike Dhampy, Sylva decided rather quickly. But just like Dhampy, she chose the one with the biggest chance of improvement.
"Silver Wanderer, that is quite unique. Nice choice."
"...Thank you." Sylva blushed while scratching the back of her head.
Although the world had changed, and Lilith had seen a lot of things, the Portals are still connected to the other worlds and these worlds have a lot of different daemons.
[Silberofer –> Silver Wanderer
Requirements:
[Ÿ] Soul of a Pixie/Fairy (acquired)
[Ÿ] Rare-tier Mana Core (acquired)]
[Ÿ] Are you sure you want to allocate [732 LE] to your follower [Sylva Qurenara] to evolve into a –> [Silver Wanderer]? Y/N?
Lilith chose yes and was stripped off 732 LE.
[Timer: 7:24:59:59]
'Eight days, she's going to take a longer time than Dhampy.'
Lilith watched as Sylva close her eyes and have herself be encased in a white cocoon.
'This is still weird no matter how many times I see it.'
She was sure that this was not the way other daemons evolves.
She watched it in a documentary, a daemon's evolution takes weeks, months, and even years to complete depending on how major the change would be. It was not something so instantaneous as this one.
But Lilith didn't complain. Letting out a yawn, Lilith did her best to move the two balls and went inside the mansion.
Lilith slept for about six hours and went to kill daemons. She needed to level up, she does not have anything to do anyway so why not?
In her free time, she practiced her mana manipulation and increased her ability to create spells.
She increased her manipulation and gained more ability in terms of controlling objects and elements. For Lilith, forming a spear out of any of the elements was easy especially in terms of manipulating the greeneries around her, that was an easy thing to do.
She even began trying to bend the light in order to camouflage herself. She obviously failed, but she at least learned how to harness its power and gained something out of it.
[Improved Passive: Mana Manipulation (A), Spell Casting (A), Fire Manipulation (B), Wind Manipulation (A), Earth Manipulation (B), Wood/Nature Manipulation (A), Nature's Blessing (A)
New Passive: Light Manipulation (B)
Light Manipulation: Light is one of the world’s sustaining forces. It gives you sight and once it is mixed with mana, it becomes divine and grants both protection and low-class healing.]
She was now stronger in her Two Horns form but creating complex spell was still out of the question for her. She couldn’t even make use of her Light Element and she couldn’t even form a single Active Spell.
After spending some time moving Sylva and Dhampy, Lilith decided to test her power and went for a hunt.
Using the Earth Element to control her weight control and Wind to carry herself off the ground, Lilith managed to fly, though it was admittedly a waste of time and too taxing.
It even took her half a day just to successfully maneuver in the air.

Experiencing such a gift, Lilith felt herself opening a new door of infinite possibilities if she could manage mana more efficiently.
It might even make the Nightmare Dragonkin's flying irrelevant.
And upon realizing this, Lilith caught a glimpse of the Two Horns' strength.
"This is form stronger than I thought. Can this actually be stronger than everything that I can become?"
Before long, Lilith got interested in finding out its limits. Two days before Dhampy came out of her cocoon, Lilith went out. It was night, only the moon provided light for her path.
'The number of daemons here have already thinned, I don't think I'll level up here and reach the cap anytime soon. Maybe I should try heading for Section 5.' Lilith was in an area of the Forest of Beasts between Sections 4 and 5, it was a Neutral Area of sorts..
The Forest of Beasts had 8 Sections in total. Sections 1, 2, and 3 were the deepest parts of the Central Forest, it was where the strongest of factions lies. In between the Sections was a place called the neutral area that was outside the jurisdiction of any dominant race.
She learned all of these through what record and information she could salvage from the Hunters.
Lilith wished to head to Section 5. That was the area where the Pixies cannot go as it was outside their territory. Not that she had any problems with Pixies other than they were weird. Other than the fact that she might have killed some of their people and she had one of their escapees, she didn't really have anything against them.
Lilith simply wished to avoid them.
She wishes not to get involved with any Political disputes if they had any.
'They have Royalties, so they should have those right?'
Lilith was thinking a lot of useless things as she head up to Section 5.
===
The daemons' roars could be heard echoing throughout the woods late at night. The Nocturnal predators lurked in the shadows, waiting for their prey to become vulnerable, so they could strike and feast for the night.
A Black Armored Panther lie in wait in the shadows. Its yellow beastly eyes glowed in the dark as it eyed the Elephant Rhino in front. It waited patiently, with its body close to the ground and its sharp and lengthy claws extended to their limits.
The Elephant Rhino was a big daemon, it was a Black Rhino the size of an elephant after all. The Elephant Rhine had a clear advantage in terms of strength, yet the Panther did not care as it marked the one in front of it as the prey..
The Panther waited until the Elephant Rhino showed an opening and as it did, the Panther did not miss the chance to pounce at the prey
"Roar!"
A roar came out of the Panther's mouth, the Rhino wished to run away, but it was all too late. The moment it heard the Panther's roar, all hope was lost. The Panther's teeth sunk on the Rhino's neck.
The Rhino thrashed the area trying to shake the damn Panther off it. Trees were toppled over as it did so, but no matter what it did, its fate did not change and a big chunk was torn from its body.

Blood gushed out its neck.
ROAR!
The Rhino let out a final roar of despair before falling flat on the ground, dead. As for the Panther, it stood on top of the Elephant Rhino's dead body. Its blood-stained fangs emanated a terrible aura.
It roared to announced its victory!
"Roa–Raaaaar!"
But its victory was cut short as vines brought it high in the skies. With it being handled on the tail, the Panther saw the world upside down. The next scene was rather pitiful because before the Panther could even know who its hunter was, its body was slammed to the hard ground, again, and again... and again.
It tried to cut the vine but failed. Its groan gradually weakened. Appearing from the shadows, Lilith watched the Panther's life coming to a draw.
With a flick of her wrist, she sent out a Fire Ball to burn down the Panther's body.
[Level up]
"That was a LVL 29 daemon, I didn't expect it that it will be so easy to hunt it down."
Lilith truly did not expect the abilities of the Two Horns to be this powerful. Inside the Forest where she was surrounded by trees and the like, she was like a shark in the ocean.
"Every attribute has its own strengths uses. Hmm, playing with this form managed to give me new insights beyond what the System can show. What about the other two forms? They should also be special on their rights; it is just that I have yet to see their strengths. Mm, I'll train the two forms and search for these absolute advantages."
Lilith was someone who would choose to use the spear even if it's harder to use than anything else if the benefits it would give in the future was going to be bigger than the present.
She would try to maximize her strengths even if she was to be brought down to her knees; Lilith was ready to do anything to ensure she grows stronger.
Unlike when she was in the neutral areas, Lilith could see the daemons in a Section to be stronger. She was still at the borders of Section 5, but the daemons were already at the rare-tier.
She could now see why those wolves would wander in her territory and eat her Goblin meat, "It's harder to hunt in other areas, it seems."
Feeling aggrieved, Lilith felt the need to kill some wolves. And the Goddess seemed to have felt her grief as a wolf pack with an average level of 23 wandered near her, and with a devilish smirk, she killed the wolves en masse.
The wails of the dying wolves echoed as Lilith’s petty wrath befell them. All the white Lilith was killing the wolves so they experience more pain than normal, she tried using the limits of her elemental control for torture and experiment.
All in the name of science.
"Burn, you dirty piece of cur! That's what you get for having your race take things from me!" It was all in the name of science.
She laughed, and laughed, and laughed as the slaughter of the wolves excited her more. The Gore made Lilith high-strung. Her eyes turned crazed as if she was high from power, though she was still in full control of herself.
Lilith was not someone who lets power gets into her head, but there were times when she just let her carnal desire out. It was a rare event, but when it happens, Lilith lets it out to the fullest.
But, when it happens, her blood churns and she experience some sort of euphoric sensations, the only downside was that she's too high-strung and agitated when it occurs.
Rustle!
"Who's there? DIE!"
The rustling of the adjacent shrub caught Lilith's attention and right after asking, she followed up with the most appropriate thing next, she tells them to die — again, too high-strung.
This place was a daemon infested island, she knows no one other than her followers and that idea multiplied several times over.
Killing anyone and anything that approach her was a must. They may not be enemies, yet, but there was a chance.
Splurt!
Using the vines, Lilith managed to stab something.
But then, her face changed right after seeing the level of the daemon she had stabbed. Lilith immediately became battle-ready.
【Ogre LVL 35 (rare)】
Attribute: Dark, Poison, Water
HP: 7800/8000
MP: 2000/2000
Snap!
With a snap of her finger and got ready to fight.
'I can kill it if I try hard enough. But damn, that HP is too mu...okay, how do I get out of here?'
Lilith determined it was winnable, but her battle readiness disappeared as soon she saw ten...twenty...forty Ogres appearing one after the other.
'How many are there, goddammit, Alpha, get me a loan, I need a spatial transportation scroll.' Lilith was ready to take the loan she hated just to escape with her life.
[Wait, I don't feel any hostility.]
'Oh, so there's no hostility? Okay, I'll wait and—god fucking dammit Alpha, I am not risking it! I hurt one of theirs, do you think it's possible for them not to be hostile?'
But Alpha said otherwise.
[Wait, just wait for it, Lilith]
'Wait for what? Have their hands on my head?'
Lilith didn't want to wait without protection so she prepared a spell.
Forty and more Ogres walked out from every direction, Lilith was having a fight with Alpha internally but she was calm on the outside. Her coolness and indifference at this point was some kind of defense mechanism.
The Ogres had bodies like it was crafted from stones. Their abs, arms, legs, and back were akin to a statues', chiseled to perfection.
The one she stabbed on the shoulder stood before her, by his side was an even bigger Ogre who was at LVL 40.
'Oh, I'm so dead Alpha. You better get me that loan or else we'll die. Dammit, I was a fool for leaving my safe place.' Lilith could now clearly see the mistake she had done.
[We share the same life, trust me on this one.]
She was ready to get beaten up, but then every Ogre in the vicinity got on their knees, their foreheads touching the ground, sweating profusely as if they were scared.
"Oh Sacred Sorceress, please forgive us!"
Lilith's mouth was open wide, she could not believe what she was seeing.
'I think, we're going to live.'
[I told you so.]
That was the smuggest Lilith had seen Alpha.
