Chapter 1039: Quest Rewards
-----
Just when I thought I would have to do this on my own, I saw that message prompted by the Grimoire. I suppose I can always trust on these friends at the very least, the Holy Spirits.
This time I didn't visit their Divine Spiritual Realm while I slept, but I think this is because they're not holding any Archdemon Soul Fragment, Mammon's soul was completely absorbed and then used to save everyone. Stay connected through m-v l|e'-NovelBin.net
So there was nothing they had to seal for me, and with Mammon's soul dead entirely, his physical body, sealed within Hell, should have now become a dried corpse, his Demonic Tower naturally crumbled, wherever it is.
But there was a Quest at the end, one I had not noticed in the heat of the moment.
Ding!
[Congratulations! You have completed the {Main Quest}: [Defeat the Archdemon Mammon and Save the Elves]!]
[Not only were you able to unmask the Elf King as the true vessel of Mammon, but you were able to defeat him despite all odds, even as he turned everyone into demons, you found a way to save them all! Congratulations!]
[However, now lies the responsibility of their future. Mammon absorbed their spiritual powers and even stole their spirits, which he turned into demonic spirit you had to fight and destroy to survive. What will be of the future of the elves of the Rosenheim Dukedom?]
[Could there be any hope for them? Or are they doomed to never wield Spiritual Arts or summon a Spirit ever again?]
[Completion Rewards]: [Magic Circle Strengthening Elixir (Legendary Grade)] x30 [Physique Enhancing Elixir (Legendary Grade)] x30 [Spirit Orb Enhancement Elixir (Legendary Grade)] x30 [Skill Proficiency Elixir (Legendary Grade)] x30 [Spirit Gachapon Ticket: Materials (Legendary Grade)] x10 [Mammon Archdemon of Greed Themed Treasure Chest (Celestial Grade)] x1 [Demonic Skill Scroll: Mammon Archdemon of Greed (Celestial Grade)] x1 [Spirit Orbs (S Rank)] x100 [Divine Fruit of the Spirit Tree (Celestial Grade)] x1 [Divine Roots of the Spirit Tree (Celestial Grade)] x1 [Celestial Angel Halo Fragments (Celestial Grade)] x1]
[The {Holy Spirit of Light} is looking forward to what you can do to help these people.]
[The {Holy Spirit of Fire} congratulates you for your efforts, saying they aren't as serious as the Holy Spirit of Light!]
Well, thanks.
[The {Holy Spirit of Water} smiles, saying that they took a while to decide the rewards well, but they were all fairly materialized and based on all your efforts.]
I appreciate that, I feel very rewarded right now, although the numbers feel excessive, after going through all that hell, it is well deserved.
[The {Holy Spirit of Love} says that the last materials are all important ingredients! However, the way you find out how to use them completely depends on your own.]
[The {Holy Spirit of Earth} nods, saying that you have a greater responsibility on your shoulders.]
Noted.
[The {Holy Spirit of Wind} says that if Hero Allen was able to grant the entire world with Spirit Orbs, then as the one that possess his Legacy, it might be possible to at least fix them, or something.]
You're not wrong there, if Hero Allen was really the origin of Spirit orbs in the world, then yeah, maybe. I could probably do something, right? Perhaps…
For now, I'll assess the rewards later, if they're truly the key to help the elves, then I must make sure to use them.
"We're here."
Elfriedden opened the door, as I entered with him, Erika and Elizabeth stayed behind the door, while the rest of my friends decided to relax for the rest of the day.
"Oh? Elfriedden… Hm?"
Rosenheim looked at me with a sleepy expression, she had finished her breakfast. At the very least, she looked healthier, if she ate her food it means she has appetite and also, the will to live.
"Hi."
"This is Blake, I guess I wasn't able to ever introduce him to you properly… He's the friend I made in the Stronghold Academy, and also the Divine Summoner."
"That's me," I nodded. "Nice to meet you, lady Rosenheim. Elfriedden has talked me a lot about you, he is indeed very madly in love with you. He does everything for you, always."
"N-Nice to meet you too- Eh? Eeeh?! Elfriedden!" cried Rosenheim, covering her face in embarrassment. "Do you need to talk so much about me to others?"
"H-He's lying! I barely ever mention you, Rosenheim," he said, trying to make her happy.
This had the opposite effect though.
"What?! So you don't even talk about me? Do you never think about me? You're so cold!" she kept complaining.
"I-I didn't mean it like that! I always think about you!" he said.
It was funny seeing him trying to hard to please this lady, it is indeed something he had never done before, and felt way out of character.
But I guess like any other person, Elfriedden has also many facets to himself, every person does. Nobody stays the same forever, they ma pretend, however.
"Anyways, Elfriedden called me here to analyze your Spirit Orb, may I?" I asked.
"Oh, right… W-What do you plan to do though? I don't want you to touch my chest or something!" Rosenheim complained.
"None of such things, I will imbue a part of my Aura, in the form of a thread, into your own body, and see how everything is going. Is that okay with you?" I asked.
"F-Fine, that's fine I suppose," she nodded.
"Alright."
I did just that, imbuing a net of Aura into her chest, very gently.
FLASH!
Until I expanded my senses through the Aura, seeing my surroundings, and I was able to detect her Spirit Orb.
It was indeed completely empty, resembling a red-colored glass ball more than her Spirit Orb, not even a hint of spiritual energy, but something strange is festering inside.
Demonic energy!
And she has quite a sizable amount, do all the elves have this?
It must be an aftereffect of their previous transformations; I was unable to detect such a thing at the end...
Slowly, I pulled back my Aura.
"So?" wondered Elfriedden.
"Empty… Completely empty…" I sighed.
