Chapter 107: Aika's Evolution and New Skills

[Day 39]

I was still in my bed and my body wasn't as sore as yesterday. I just pressed my back against the bed's backboard while eating some hot soup that Aitos assistant cooked up. I have yet to meet him but I would like to put in some requests.

Right next to me, on the nightstand was a bone the size of a human's arm and looked like a human's arm. It had the elbow, humerus, radius, and ulna… or in other words just the entire arm of a humanoid body.

The most noticeable feature on it though was the black runes that were evenly spaced across it. 

After I finished my quite delicious soup, I picked up the white arm with strange black runes. 

[Item - Perfected Necromancers Arm]

[The bones in this arm are part of the true body of the perfected necromancer. Death resides in each crack and crevice of the bone. These bones are much harder than any dragon scale will ever hope to be.] 

Seems it still counts this thing as an arm with skin and muscles on it. 

"Alright, no point in stalling… let's do this," 

First I take a bite out of the upper humerus which my teeth had a hard time breaking off. I had to tug and bite down as hard as I could until I finally chipped a piece off it and swallowed. The jagged structure of the piece didn't slide down my throat well as I started to choke and grabbed the tall glass of water right next to me. 

Glug glug glug

*sigh*

[Gained the following titles] 

[Blessed by the Emperor Spirit of Gold]

[Queen of Golden Mountain Bears]

… 

[Gained the following skills]

[True Queens Dominating Presence] 

[Forbidden Magic: Midas] 

[Summon: Golden Mountain Bear] 

[Earth Magic] 

Huh… why didn't I gain the necromancy skills? Am I supposed to eat the death stone? Probably right? She said that she hadn't become a necromancy-based evolution so maybe that affected it. 

… But I don't care really. The grey orb type rock should be the death stone, so I'll get one of the maids to bring it here later.

Looking closer at the notifications, I saw a new forbidden magic that was hard to counter.

Midas huh. Like the king who could turn anything into gold by just touching it. In the story, he couldn't deactivate it and that led to his demise because that meant he couldn't eat so he ended up dying by starvation. But with me, I can deactivate it and turn anything into gold... not like it means much since I have endless money.

"Before I assimilate the skills, let's get the death stone, one of the dragon's scales, and some of its meat… MAID! *cough* *cough* *cough*... Oh shit, I still haven't recovered," I mumble.

"At your service," A familiar face says while opening the door and bowing deeply. 

"Please bring one of the dragon's scales and I allow the cook to experiment with some of the dragon's meat. Also, bring me the death stone that was placed in the treasury," I say to the familiar face who was Lucy. 

"As you wish," Lucy says, lifting her head. 

"How's Sophia?" I ask with a smile.

"She's really pretty," Lucy says, blushing profusely. 

"I'm not asking how she looks but has she accepted staying in a relationship with you?"

"Y-yes she has. We were even planning on going on a date t-tonight…" Lucy says blushing even harder. 

"That's nice just make sure to finish your shift and I'll let you do what you want tonight," 

"T-thank you very much!" Lucy says, bowing once again and closing the door. 

I could hear her jumping up and down behind the door. It lasted for only a split second as she then walked down the hallway. 

I only got to lie down for a few more minutes as another maid came in with my medicine. 

"Gross…" I mutter after swallowing the medicine. 

"What does this medicine even do? My fever has already subsided so why do I need to keep taking this?" I ask the maid beside me. 

"It is to help cure your mana sickness. If you take a look at your status, you should see that your mana has yet to recover even though it has been 2 days already. The sickness just slows down your manas flow, greatly increasing the time it needs to recover and weakens your mana-based skills," The maid says.

… 

"So that's why it hasn't recovered yet… thanks a lot," I say before laying my head on the pillow next to me. 

… 

I was suddenly woken up by a violent shake. 

"Go away, let me sleep longer…" I say pushing the pair of soft hands away. 

"Oi, I just evolved and you won't even congratulate me," I hear a stern voice say. 

Slowly opening my eyes, I saw somebody who resembled Aika but didn't quite look like Aika at the same time. She looked similar to the appearance of the golden mountain bear queen's latest appearance. 

"*yawn*... what was your evolution?" I say sleepily. 

"Death Elf," Aika says proudly puffing out her chest. 

"I see…" 

Aika was now an even 6 feet in height, with long, pale white hair that flowed to her waist. Her skin wasn't deathly pale, but instead just a regular pale with some color in it, allowing her to not look like she just died. 

The white of her eyes was now black and her light green pupils were now a glowing turquoise. Most would call it creepy but I thought it was beautiful. 

I shifted my eyes over and saw a bump on her back, making me immediately think of the external spine that the queen had.

… 

Basically a better version of the queen I fought… besides the domain. I think throne worlds are the evolved version of domains so that just means she has to keep using it to get [Throne World: Necropolis]... I assume.

Oh, she also has the death stone body modification… wait what?

"Why do you have the death stone?" 

"It wasn't much of an accident but let's say an old man tried to take over my body but I was much stronger than him, and then I gained his powers after defeating him," Aika says. 

"Is that why you have those titles?"

"Yeah… anyway, congratulate me!" Aika demands.

"Congratulations," I say before lying down again. 

"*sigh*. Since you're sick I'll let this slide but you have to be with me when I give birth. I can literally feel something moving around in my belly and I'm feeling extremely tired," Aika says sternly. 

"Of course," I say before seeing Aika leave allowing me to sleep once again. 

[Day 40] 

I want to get out of bed but Homura won't let me leave until I fully recover. All 3 of my wives are struggling to just move around so the babies might be coming earlier than expected. Aika might even give birth today, but before that, let's try out these new items. 

[Item - Dragon Scale] 

[A tough and sturdy part of the dragon body that is resistant to most physical and mana-based attacks. They are the toughest material in the [Mountain of Twilight].]

[Item - Dragon Meat]

[This meat is only accessible to the strongest of warriors that can take down a dragon. It is supposed to be one of the most expensive food items that you can acquire.]

First I took a bite out of the dragon meat and felt the butter-like meat melt in my mouth. Even though it was cold since the maid left it out for so long, it tasted delicious. My mouth was watering even as I scarfed it down.

Before I could activate my newest body modification and eat the dragon scale, a maid came bursting into the room. She had a face of panic and shouted,

"Master! Miss Aika is about to give birth!"
