Chapter 256: Evolution

"Angela, I have something for you!" said Kraftvoll while he was looking at Angela. Upon hearing this, Kraftvoll's second seishin beast went beside Kraftvoll due to her curiosity.

A moment later, Kraftvoll took out something from his pocket. It was the level seven seishin core that he looted from the Powers after fighting earlier.

"Absorb this seishin beast core. It will only give me a few benefits if I absorb it but If you absorb it instead, I'm sure the benefits that it would give you will be plentiful," said Kraftvoll as he hand over the seishin beast core of the Powers to Angela.

After hearing her master, Angela accepted Kraftvoll's gift to her with a very happy expression on her face. When Angela began absorbing that seishin beast core, Kraftvoll looked at Ouryuu this time.

"Ouryuu, you can't absorb the seishin beast cores that we hunted earlier because you are not light attributed so I have something else for you. Before we go here, I was able to create a seishin device that stores fire seishin essences from the sunshine of the sun. Here, absorb the fire seishin essences that it managed to absorb throughout our journey," said Kraftvoll as he hands the seishin device that he invented toward Ouryuu.

After taking care of those things, Kraftvoll entered his deep meditative stance to start replenishing his inner seishin essences. A moment later, all of the seishin auras that Kraftvoll had suddenly enveloped his body.

At the next moment, seishin essences began gathering around Kraftvoll as he entered deep meditation.

Kraftvoll and his two seishin beast partners spent a few hours doing those things until Kraftvoll opened his eyes after replenishing his seishin essences. 

'Ouryuu is sleeping? It seemed like he was able to absorb all of the fire seishin essences from the Sun Array that I created. Angela was still absorbing that seishin beast core? A level seven seishin beast core is different! I'll let her absorb the other three seishin beast core if that's not enough.' Kraftvoll thought to himself.

Since that was the case, Kraftvoll decided to enter deep meditation even though he managed to recover his inner seishin essences. This time, he wanted to improve his seishin cultivation.

After a few hours in deep meditation, Kraftvoll decided to sleep for he was the fatigue of the fights that they experienced on this day. Before sleeping, he decided to take a look at his second seishin beast partner.

'She still absorbing it? I think she will be finished after a while so I better sleep now for tomorrow's journey,' Kraftvoll thought to himself.

With that in his mind, Kraftvoll decided to set up a sleeping bag so that he would be able to sleep. After all of his preparation, Kraftvoll slept like a log because he was not just physically tired. Also, he was exhausted mentally, so his body wanted him to sleep even more.

Although he was very tired, Kraftvoll suddenly woke up in the middle of the night because Ouryuu was poking his shoulder.

"What's happening?" he asked as he rubbed his eyes.

A moment later, his eyes suddenly became wide opened as he saw Angela being enveloped by a membrane of light.

Due to his surprise, Kraftvoll could only say, "What is this? Is Angela evolving!?"

Kraftvoll and Ouryuu continued to observe Angela without blinking an eye.

After a while, the light membrane that was enveloping Kraftvoll's second seishin beast partner suddenly emitted a blinding light which made Kraftvoll and Ouryuu closed their eyes.

When the extreme light subsided, Kraftvoll slowly opened his eyes and he was extremely surprised by what he had seen next.

"You evolved, Angela!? Congratulations, as of this moment you are now a Principality!" said Kraftvoll with a huge smile on his face.

Unlike before, Angela's four wings merged into a pair resulting in her only have one pair of very prominent wings. 

Since she was able to evolve, Angela happily flew throughout the cave with her newfound power. 

"Easy there, Angela. Don't fly too much inside the cave because something might collapse on you," said Kraftvoll as he was observing Angela who was flying around.

'The seishin beast core was only filled with light seishin essences with half of its capacity. If the Powers did not consume that much seishin essences, Angela would probably be able to evolve further. Well, there's still a plenty chance for us to do that.' Kraftvoll thought to himself as Angela went on his side.

After Angela had managed to evolve, Kraftvoll decided to go back to his sleep. Along with him, Ouryuu and Angela also slept beside him.

Since some Sand Golems were guarding them throughout the night, Kraftvoll and his two seishin beast partners were able to sleep without a worry for anything.

Outside the cave, faint chirpings of the birds are heard as the golden rays of the sun slowly enveloping the Central Valkyrie Forest.

Since this was the time that Kraftvoll was always waking up, his mind immediately served as an alarm that woke him up.

"It's time to prepare for breakfast! Angela, since you managed to evolve into a Principality last night, can you hunt some seishin beasts for us to eat? I'll open a way for you in my Fortified Great Wall seishin spell." said Kraftvoll as he poked the back of the sleeping Principality.

Angela's mind woke up at the moment he heard Kraftvoll's command to her. After waking up, she immediately flew around as she was waiting for Kraftvoll to open the entrance of the cave.

Kraftvoll canceled his Fortified Great Wall seishin spell so that Angela could go through and hunt some seishin beasts for them to eat. They were not able to eat for dinner because hunting seishin beasts in the night might put them in danger.

After dozens of minutes, Angela returned with a huge boar which she brought using light particles that she created from her light seishin essences.

"Wow! Bring it here, Angela! I already finished the preparation to start cooking!" said Kraftvoll to the descending Principality.
