《Empress' Evolution》40. Even Better
Advertisement
In the Pixie Village, there is a tree bigger than any other.
It was known as the Spirit's Lair and many believed that within it, Spirits dwells. Inside that tree was a throne where the Lord previously resides.
And inside that tree was a Throne Room where only the epic-tiers of the Pixies could enter.
Today, however, Lilith, the epic-tired Ogres, and one other individual got the chance to enter without a problem. The Pixies basically already belonged to Lilith, entering this so-called Sacred place was no longer an issue.
Lilith's wound already closed and was now calmly observing the throne room and the group in front of her.
In front of Lilith were seven Pixies. Six Pixie Guardians and one other unknown being with silver hair. The mysterious being sat before Lilith and her crew.
Beside Lilith was Chief and the other epic-tiered Ogres, it was quite the line-up. In the middle of them was a severed head of the Pixie Lord that had been brought by Dhampy at around midnight.
Under it was leather, seeing it, the silver-haired girl shed a single tear. She then stood up and walked over to the head of the Pixie Lord. Raising her head to look at Lilith, she asked, "May I?"
"Do what you must."
The silvered haired girl kept the head away, she was shaking seeing the decapitated head…
'She's still a child.' Lilith thought to herself,
[Moon Liwa LVL 30]
Lilith observed the reaction of this little girl daemon known as the Moon Liwa.
This Moon Liwa was the equivalent of the Priestess. Her attributes were Dark, Wind, and Moon.
'What's the moon attribute; does she summon the moon to crush everyone?'
It was plausible but she shook her head thinking they would be dead now if that was the case. Lilith and the Ogres were silent throughout the entire process of taking the head.
They were looking at her pitifully, she was but a child, just a few feet taller than their own Priestess. As the head of the Pixie Lord was taken away, she placed it on the side as a sign of respect.
"Are you not going to bury him, if I am not wrong you are one of the Pixie Lord's daughters correct?"

The Moon Liwa did not immediately speak, instead, she looked at Lilith confused and dazed at what the lass had just said.
"There is no need to bury him right away, he would like us to first ascertain the future of our race first more than anything else. That is the kind of man he was."
"I know that. I am also aware he will do anything in order to improve the lives of the Pixies, even if it was sacrificing one of his daughters. I heard your race sacrifice those called the Silberofer, children similar to the age of that Moon Liwa or even younger, treating them like they are tools to be used."
No one spoke.
Lilith turned to look at the silence of the Pixies who had lowered their heads. Lilith looked at their drooping heads as if it was the end of the world and scoffed.
"That is enough, I shall not question you people nor will I try to do so. Now then, let us begin this bargaining, I do not know what you wish but I shall tell you now, the Silberofer tradition will now be abolished."
Screech!
"What? Please reconsider, that is the lifeblood of our epic-tiers, we cannot hope to abandon that."
The heavy chairs grounded the ground, Lilith looked at their faces, that is filled with worry and anxiousness. The Silberofers were the sacrificial pawns of the Pixies, used only to evolve High-Pixies and special cases like the Moon Liwa.
It was the foundation of the Pixies’ strength, so it is understandable to see their anxious replies.
But Lilith smiled, reassuring them with a single sentence.
"I will be the one to help you with your evolution, if you abolish the system of sacrificing the life of your KIN, then I will help you."
“What do you mean?”
“You use the lives of the Silberofer because you need to evolve correct? If you abolish it then I will be the one to help your people evolve. There, problem solve.”
The Pixies were confused.
"But Priestess, isn't that power of yours only available to our people?" Chief stepped up and quickly tried confirming if what she was saying is the truth or not.

"Nonsense, I never said it is exclusive to our race. This blessing of mine came from the Goddess Letza."
"The Goddess Letza?" It was the Moon Liwa who asked.
Lilith inwardly smiled as she saw the curiosity of the Pixies, "She is a Goddess with a kind heart and I am her apostle and she gave me the power to help her people evolve. Everyone who has become my people shall also become the people of the Goddess thus giving me the right and ability to help others break through their potentials. Follow me and you will be able to stop the cycle of killing, and no matter what you say, the Silberofer are still beings from the same Ancestor, they are also Pixies in a manner of speaking."
The Pixies lowered their heads.
"We shall follow..." it was the Moon Liwa who made the decision. With the Lord dead she’s the one who’s making the major decision from now on.
"Don't worry, we will not treat badly, but with this, a new system should be created to accommodate our new beginning."
With that said, Lilith went to do her job, managing the Unified Village. The name of the village was thought up by Lilith, so it ended up as such, it was practical but no creativity, such as the great naming sense of the Goddess' Great Apostle.
Like a snap of the finger, three days passed.
Neutral Area between Section 4 and 5, this used to be a place where no one lived in, but at this moment, a village was in the midst of being built.
Currently, the Pixies and the Ogres were still in a rather awkward position of living together.
For two days the Pixies grieved for their Lord’s death, and there were still those till this day that held quite a bit of a resentment, but overall, the overall ambiance was not that bad.
Most of the people were trying to move forward in accordance to the desires of the Priestess, and being daemons, they quickly turned their attention to survival.
Because of this, major changes were being implemented.
A majority of the area was being turned to farms where Meat Dungeons are raised. Some other parts of Section 4 were tilled, Lilith had begun to feel the need to grow more digestible vegetation.
The Pixies were beings who like eating vegetables rather than meat so she had to do this to accommodate them and gain more of their trust.
Trust equals loyalty so Lilith was doing her best to make the seeds grow faster.
With her Nature attribute already at A-tier after some training, she can now speed up the growth process 5 times than normal.
'This is useful not just in combat.' was what she thought as a little sprout appeared from the apple trees she had planted.
"Luna, go and fetch some more seeds from the others, we shall plant more today, also, find some more vegetables, harvest their roots or something!"
Luna, that was the name of the Moon Liwa. It was a weird name because it actually made sense, but worry not for the name came from the fact that Liwa and Luna rhymed so she remembered it.
Lilith's naming ability had yet to improve.
At the moment, Luna was being treated as the representative of the Pixies. And because she was known as some sort of Priestess, Lilith reckoned she'll fit well to walk by her side for the time being.
'She's a good dog.' Lilith suddenly thought.
While Lilith was busy growing food for the Pixies, Dhampy appeared from the shadows, Eve who was being trained was with her.
Dhampy lowered her head as she announced.
"Boss, Werewolves have been spotted on the Borders of Section 2..."
Lilith didn't even have to listen to fully listen to her words to give the most appropriate of commands.
"Gather the Ogres! We're going to war and eradicate the Werewolves!"
Eve was surprised and had to step forward in order to confirm the situation.
"But Priestess, they seem to be injured..."
Upon hearing the word injured, Lilith smiled, it was a wide smile that terrified Eve.
Lilith turned to Eve.
"That's even better."

Dream of the Abyss
Elisa Mary Grant died in a hospital bed after being stuck in it for six months, and like any other, her soul drifted away from her husk when she passed. For her, death was a release. It merely meant that she no longer have to wake up in pain, breathing through tubes and have doctors flood her veins with dubious chemicals for “experimental treatment”. Free from her mortal constraints and useless body, she felt… at peace, serene, even. Death is bliss, after all, when objectively living sucked to the point of extreme. Therefore, there was no reason to mourn at all and she knew she definitely didn't. ... That was until, on her way for a proper reincarnation, she found herself rudely interrupted and left stranded in the great NoWhere. “Wonderful,” she remarked as she floated in the [Beyond], “Just when I thought that suicide is the answer.” Author's note: Updates every Tuesday-Wednesday, probably some time in between. ... P.S Notes: Contains existential questions and nihilistic themes, rather philosophical. Will be rather sluggish until the MC gets her shit together. P.SS Notes: Story takes time to develop. And maybe uncomfortable. It's not gonna be action-packed or filled with battles, I think. Anyway, it is kinda unusual. P. SSS Notes: It is not LitRpg. Don't be fooled.
