Root was currently sitting over my head. Thanks to his Spirit Embodiment Skill, he was able to take into the form of a Nature Spirit of some sort. His appearance change honestly surprised us all.
Whenever he used his Spirit Embodiment Sill, he resembled more like an adorable egg-shaped bush covered on fluffy bright green leaves, while his face was reduced into a small mask-like wooden face with a long nose and two little holes as eyes, tiny branch-like legs, and small chick-like wings made of leaves.
Yeah, it felt as if this Skill made him cuter.
But that wasn't all, it didn't merely just made him cute and small compared to his big form as a Magic Treant, it also made him better at magic by shuffling his stats around, it was honestly pretty interesting.
"Just drink it."
I didn't really had time to explain things to him.
"G-Gyuh? Very well…"
He didn't really hesitated anymore, as I gave him the bottle and he drank its contents.
"Gyuhh!"
His face resembled to be in utter bliss as he drank it all. He quickly began shining brightly, a golden aura of spiritual essence surged from within his body.
"This is very good master! Gyuhhh!"
"Oh? Do you feel stronger?"
"Definitely!"
Ding!
[Root] has drank the [Sap of Lesser Yggdrasil]!]
[Root] has acquired the [Yggdrasil's Seed: Lv1] Characteristic Skill!]
[Root] has acquired the [Yggdrasil's Chosen: Lv1] Title Skill!]
[Root] Stats have increased!]
Oh, amazing! He got two Skills out of it and even his stats increased! By checking at the skill, I can learn that they're quite good, yet at the same time contrasting with the Seed of Calamity.
A being with both the Seed of Calamity and the Seed of Yggdrasil is something… yeah, very unusual. Perhaps impossible to have ever been conceived, yet here he is!
However, to sum it up, both Skills enhance his growth and widen the possibilities of his evolutions even more. We'll have to see what he becomes in the future.
I quickly brought the Blood Potion to Nyx while I was seeing Root grow stronger.
"Huh? What is this?" Wondered Lucifer, looking at a tiny version of myself.
"This is a special gift I got from Hel, it is the blood of a Dark Scaled Dragon. If Nyx drinks it, she might get stronger." I smiled.
"Eh? Isn't that dangerous? It might come poisoned for all we know!" Lucifer panicked a bit.
"I can't detect any poison from it." Brunhild said.
"I also checked it and it doesn't have any…" I said.
"B-But it might have a poison we cannot easily detect! Come on, think outside the box." He said while sighing.
"Waah… Poshion?" Nyx wondered.
"Well, I guess you're right. Maybe we should be more careful… But I already gave one to Root and he grew stronger, so it wasn't poisoned back then." I said.
"Yeah but what about now? It might be different." Said Lucifer.
Gosh, he was being way too overly protective.
But I guess it makes sense, its her daughter's life that might be on stake now.
"I guess you're right. I'll save it for now and see if I can detect poison later-"
"Roar!"
However, out of the blue, Nyx interrupted my words as her long tail stole the bottle away from the tiny and weak Phantasmal Familiar and then ate the whole bottle, swallowing it.
"Gulp! Pwaah… Burp…"
We looked at one another with Lucifer, as we quickly looked back at Nyx. She immediately began glowing with a powerful aura overflowing from her body. It was pure black.
"Roooar! RAAARRR!"
The moment that aura surged, she began roaring furiously!
Her eyes glowed bright red, as her wings grew a bit longer, she quickly freed herself from her father's tail, flying into the skies and unleashing an enormous shockwave of power!
TRUUUUUMMMMM…!
"W-What the heck is happening!?" Asked Partner.
"Nyx?!" Emeraldine panicked.
"Rooar! RAAAAR!"
Nyx continued roaring as she suddenly opened her little jaws and unleashed a powerful Dark Dragon Beam against the swamp's water!
BOOOOOOOMMMM!!!
SPLAAASH!
The explosion was so loud it sent waves everywhere, water quickly splashed out into the skies and started raining all over everybody else.
"W-What is happening?! This is insane!"
"Nyx?!"
I flew towards Nyx with Lucifer, quickly reaching her.
However, she had calmed down, and seemed relaxed, burping a bit.
"Burp… Phew…"
She seemed to have just let out a big burp?!
Was that it?!
"Mama! Papa!"
She flew towards us as if nothing, quickly acting mellow and innocently.
I guess… she really just overdid it there, but nothing serious.
"It was just a very loud burp…" Brunhild sighed. "She's fine, don't worry. I can tell by just looking at her. My Dragon Eyes have the power of analyzing things."
"I see… well now, Nyx, you really made a fuss there." I reprimanded her a bit.
"Eheheheh…" She began to giggle as if everything was just a huge joke for her.
"Hahh… You really worried us!"
"Gehehehe…" She simply continued giggling as she started biting her father's tail.
"I guess she's fine, yeah…"
Ding!
[Nyx] has consumed the [Blood of a Dark Scaled Dragon]!]
[Nyx] Draconic Powers have awakened further!]
[Nyx] Ancient Dragon Bloodline has become stronger.]
[Nyx] attained the [Aether] Stat.]
Wait, hold on a second, she got the Aether Stat?!
I quickly looked at her status, finding the Aether Stat was only at 50, apparently she had a long way to go to reach 100.
Well, I've already surpassed a 100 with those soul potions Hel sent to me, so I have 115 now.
But still, this is huge!
Nobody here except Root and me have the Aether stat…
I guess being a Calamity means having such a stat? Even Root while being a small Lesser Treant had it.
Well, whatever's the case, she's fine, that's what matters here.
SPLAAASH!
However, it seemed that Nyx's attack into the lake really shook things out, because several creatures surged from the swamp's waters after all that commotion.
This time they were not frogs nor fishes, but something different!
"Wait, those are Acid Slimes and Salamanders!" Helga immediately detected the threats.
