Chapter 967 Maria Finally Gets Her Divine Spirit

Chapter 967 Maria Finally Gets Her Divine Spirit

-----

After defeating Eustace and helping him recover his sanity, with the aid of Celes' powers, we managed to transform him into a Water Ghost, and not a normal one, but one that was also kind of like a Spirit, but not there yet. Instead of a Curse with Hatred, Frustration, or Sorrow infecting his soul, there was a Blessing with Love, Hope, and the desire for Justice to be enacted.Updated from n0velbIn.(c)o/m

This was the first time such a creation was even made, I believe, a ghost that does not possess an accursed existence, but a blessed one. Isn't he more like a guardian spirit? Perhaps even closer to an angelic being than a ghost now... I don't really know, but it was great.

Naturally, I don't get to keep him because Eustace is attached to Naiad, that's the name of the Divine Oasis Spirit. She turned out to be an otherworld, not someone that the Water Goddess created herself or something. Turns out there's a lot more to this world than we've ever knew before, at the same time, it made this world feel... small in comparison to the rest of it, to the Tower.

Ding!

[You have raised [Eustace] into a [Spiritual Oasis Guardian Ghost (S Rank)]!]

[Due to having received a special Blessing, Eustace Stats have increased greatly, and he has acquired many new Skills.]

[Eustace] has created a contract with [Celes]!]

Nice, Celes needs more protection than just his mother after all. I really want to be happy, but I also feel slightly let down, I had originally come here to get myself a Spirit, but we all ended just helping little Celes get stronger, which I'm not really complaining about.

Never mind, I shouldn't be really jealous of a child, he had gone through many hardships and suffered too much for his age. It is good he can become stronger. He'll be the liberator of his people. I can already envision it being that way.

Now, I suppose we should get moving, these ruins are almost completely destroyed, and we don't want to make more of a fuss here- Oh?

However, as I looked where Eustace was originally, I found out a large chunk of magic crystals, the same crystals monsters have inside of them, and it was big enough and high quality enough to be worth at least three S Rank Magic Crystals!

"Hey, what the hell is this?!" I was shocked. "Eustace, did you shit this out?"

"What? I don't know... I think it might be what's left of when I was a monster." He laughed a bit. "It is a Magic Crystal, right? You can have it if you want."

"I'll sure be having it!" I happily stored it inside my inventory, feeling much more joyous.

"It seems... This element has a strong stench, and it feels like it could sap away the life from beings and slowly corrode things... It is a Poison Spirit." Emeraldine said, fascinated. "Amazing! This is the first time I see a spirit of such a mysterious element."

"It must be for you then, Master!" Partner said very excitedly. "Take it!"

"I guess so?" I wondered, still being unable to believe it. "C-Can you stay with me? Will you not fear me like everyone else?"

I asked the little moth, as I offered him a poison spirit crystal with my hand. The little and curious ethereal moth quickly set its gaze into my hands, slowly crawling there and munching on the spirit crystal.

"Kyuu!"

Once it ate it all, it gave the most adorable little sound I've ever heard, and a thread came out of its soul, connecting with me out of nowhere... A contract was formed in a flash, still leaving me almost completely speechless.

FLAAASH!

Ding!
