Chapter 982 Lots Of Levels
-----
As I saw everyone happy over the EXP they earned, I checked the System Notifications Alice was eagerly showing to me…
Ding!
[You and your Party have defeated [Giant Stone Golem (Tier 4)] x55 [Giant Crystal Golem (Tier 5)] x41 [Giant Spirit Crystal Golem (Tier 6)] x33 [Giant Metal Golem (Tier 6)] x36 and [Giant Mithril Golem (Tier 8)] x1!]
[You earned 17.025.000 EXP!]
[Aquarina] has gained 10 Levels!]
[Zack] has gained 7 Levels!]
[Mist] has gained 6 Levels!]
[Celica] has gained 6 Levels!]
[Celeste] has gained 7 Levels!]
[Luck] has gained 7 Levels!]
[Lara] has gained 6 Levels!]
[Naturia] and [Yggdra] have gained 5 Levels!]
[Undine] and [Leviathan] have gained 8 Levels!]
[Undine] and [Leviathan] have reached Max Level and are ready to Rank Up!]
[Please select the Rank Up option within their Status to allow them to Evolve further.]
Everyone ended leveling quite a lot, and above all, Aquarina's Spirits hit max level before even an hour has passed by!
"Alright, looks like your Spirits are max level now!" I said with a happy giggle.
"Looks like!" Aquarina was also quite joyous. "Hmm, they don't look all that different than when they were level 1 though."
"They'll definitely change once they evolve." I nodded, as Glutton came back after a few minutes, having stored most of the golems we defeated inside his Inventory belly and quickly returning to his simple bag form, wrapped around my hip with a belt. "How about we evolve them right away then? I'll show you how much they change."
"T-Then let's do it!" Aquarina was very excited. "You guys… Are you happy about this too?"
"Hmm, dunno what you're talking about, but sure?" Undine was quite clueless.
"ROAR!" Meanwhile, Leviathan had somehow caught up to it and was nodding happily.
"Looks like they're excited." I giggled. "Can you sense Pyuku nearby?" I wondered.
"Yeah, he actually came to this crater. He might had slid through these caves because I sense him in the deeper areas." Aquarina said. "There must be some corridor or something over there… But let's evolve them first before advancing. Are our parents close?"
"They should be getting here slowly." I said, as I could sense their presences through the combination of Heavenly Sight and my Mana and Spiritual Aura. "Anyways… Let's do this. Alice?"
"Sure." Alice nodded, giving authorization to the Spirits of Aquarina to evolve.
Their bodies instantly glowed with bright sapphire light, our friends, which were chatting and resting in the caves, were suddenly attracted by the light they emanated.
"Wait, are they evolving or something?" Zack wondered in awe.
"I-It looks like!" Mist nodded. "Wow…!"
"They're shining so brightly…" Zephy said.
FLAAASH!
The two Spirits quickly underwent unique changes. Undine, who resembled a small mermaid with blue skin and fins in her ears, alongside long blue hair, turned larger, now having around the same size as a big dog instead of a small cat.
Her arms gained blue scales, and her fish-like tail gained a sharper end. Meanwhile, she gained sharp teeth, and a fiercer appearance, although she still looked cute.
Meanwhile, Leviathan, the little ice dragon, turned twice as big, around the same size as Undine by now, his appearance changed the least though, although his wings became larger too, but that was about it…
Well, my own Spirits never changed that drastically when evolving. And unlike them, this time I wasn't able to choose their evolution options, so it was left to whatever was most compatible with them.
Ding!
[Undine] and [Leviathan] have successfully evolved to D+ Rank Spirits!]
[All their Stats have increased.]
[They have gained new Skills!]
[Their affinity with their Master, [Aquarina] has dramatically increased.]

Their Stats looked much higher than before, that's for sure. And above all, they gained new Skills! Undine gained the ability to conjure some sort of whirlpool to trap enemies and… to sing?
It is some sort of song that sirens make to intimidate or fill their foes with fear, it might lower affected foes stats, so that's useful I suppose.
As for Leviathan, he gained the ability to grow his claws into big, very big ones, and also to unleash a little snowstorm to slow down foes and deal constant ice damage!
Not bad at all!
"Amazing… Y-You guys really changed this time… After years!" Aquarina couldn't help but feel incredibly happy, hugging the two of them. "And my connection with you two feels much stronger…"
"I've gotten bigger!" Undine was surprised. "I wonder if I can get as big as Naturia? Ah, master, stop hugging me so tightly- Eep!"
"Rooaarr! Graar!" Leviathan wagged his tail happily, licking Aquarina's face.
"Just what happened here? Did they evolve naturally?" Zack wondered. "Well, I guess it was about time but… this feels a bit suspicious.." He squinted his eyes.
"Hahaha… No way." I laughed. "A-Anyways! I think Pyuku is quite nearby, right in this cave! So let's go chase him!"
I didn't want to make my friends fight over who could get a System in their Familiars or not, so I simply avoided the topic for now… It is quite clear to notice that Aquarina gets quite a lot of privileges above them for being my girlfriend, but I try to be fair too!
"Hey, don't forget what you promised! The one that killed the most gets a reward!" Celeste said, stopping me as she grabbed my shoulders.
"R-Right! Ahahaha, silly me! How could I forget?" I laughed nervously.
At the end, the one that hunted the most was Zack, surprisingly. Aquarina ended getting more levels because she killed the Mithril Golem.
"You owe me an Armor now! Heheh!"
"Fine…"
