Chapter 177: Chapter 177: A daughter or not?

Resphi finished her evolution, and to Eren's satisfaction, she hadn't evolved into a loli.

Despite her childish behavior when she was talking to him, she had evolved into a proper girl who looked to be just above twenty.

"Hmm? Is she supposed to have those green marks?" Eren noticed something off about Resphi.

On her shoulders, there was a light green mark. And that wasn't the only place. A similar mark could be found at many more places.

The only reason he even found those marks odd was because Spirit Queen Felona and Estelina didn't have those marks.

If anything, those marks reminded him of his Pendant of Poison instead. His pendant had a similar shade of green.

He couldn't help but wonder if she was poisoned. Although she had absorbed the Spirit Queen's discarded essence, it was still something mixed with his poison to some extent.

He thought the Spirit Queen would have an explanation for him, but she appeared to be just as confused.

She had thought that when her fingers dispersed into Spirit Essence, only the essence was going to enter the earth and not the poison.

That's why she didn't consider the possibility of something going wrong with Resphi's evolution. But she could see that something had definitely gone wrong.

The strange poison had also merged with her Essence and became a part of Resphi's evolution.

She checked her daughter to see if the poison was harmful for her. But even after a thorough check, she couldn't find anything wrong with her. Her essence had a trace of the poison, but it didn't appear to harm her.

Instead, the poison essence had become a part of her. It wasn't as dense or potent as it was within Eren's pendant.

It definitely was nowhere close to what Eren could draw from the Pendant when attacking. But it was still there nonetheless.

When the Spirit Queen explained what might have happened, Eren could only rub his forehead, thinking about the absurd.

'Does that mean Resphi is the daughter of Felona and this pendant?'

The pendant belonged to him. Or rather, it had become a part of him the moment it appeared around his neck. He had tried taking it off, but he couldn't even do that.

"Now this is a good welcome." The Skeletal Mage laughed heartily as he raised his hand. "I am so pleased, let me fulfill the role of a good guest as well!"

"Inferno!"

Following his words, a Magic Circle appeared in the sky, filled with complicated magic. However, he didn't stop with just one magic circle.

On top of one, he stacked two more magic circles to further boost the strength.

"Even at the border city, there was a good material who survived two. I have even higher expectations for the Capital."

"I will make it even more special for you! Survive three and you would be worthy enough to become materials for our great cause!"

Once the three magic circles were completed, a firestorm descended over the second island, swallowing everything within.

Triple stacked Inferno broke the protective barrier above the second island with great ease. Seeing the scene, the Necromancer sighed in disappointment.

He expected at least some level of improvement from the barrier at the border city.

"Did I really overestimate them?" he thought out loud.

"Hmm? What might this be?"

His disappointment soon turned into interest as he felt something bright appearing in the depths of his flame.

When the flames disappeared, he was able to see more clearly. A woman had appeared in the depths of the Inferno and with just a simple gesture, she extinguished the flames surrounding her.

Even with triple stacked Inferno, the destruction of this city was insignificant, as it was protected by that woman.

"Kekekek, I see. So the best material has finally decided to show up... The Queen of Spirits."

On one side of the Spirit Queen, Estelina stood. On the other side, there was Resphi.

As for Eren, he had landed on the third island, looking down at the second island with great interest.
