"From my knowledge about humans, being at twenty years is something great," William was about to continue luring her towards that decision, but she hurriedly interrupted him.
"Don't forget, I'll start from the low bottom, will start without even a single spirit power…"
"Oh, about that… Let me be your guard then."
"Hahahaha, you? No way, hahahaha!"
She seemed to find this quite funny or hilarious or something. But William didn't feel any offence from that. He simply looked back at her, before adding after she finished laughing:
"I know I'm weaker than you…"
"Much, much, much weaker than me, you are a baby, hahahaha!"
"I know that, but I'm not that weak. I'm at gold grade, close to getting to the dark gold grade…"
"Kiddo, don't take it as an insult or something, but being at the dark gold grade is the thing that will let you be an adult in my world. Don't dream too high, you can't even protect yourself…"
"I managed to come here, pass through everything out there and reach you. Doesn't that count?" William knew trying to convince her using his current spirit power was a futile attempt. So, he shifted the gears and started to talk about something else.
"You are indeed special…"
"And strong."
"No, you are a weakling, hahahaha!"
She seemed to find something funny in all this discussion, but William continued to speak about how special he was. She kept laughing for most of the time, ending up finally stopping this attitude, and started to think seriously about his offer.
He spoke about tons of stuff, described even scenes and interesting places in the outer world to convince her.
"Fine, fine… I'm going to change into a human then," after a few hours, she finally gave in and embraced the wild thought of his. She might be reckless in taking such a decision on a whim, but William thought in this weird process of dying, she lost most of her sanity and wisdom.
Yet he was wrong. She wasn't reckless or anything. In fact, she kept thinking about this point over the long years she remained here. No one would like to die, especially if he was a monster who reached and touched the ceiling of power of this world.
She was already hesitating about such a matter, and all she needed was the last push that William gave to take down such a path.
William watched her eyes fade away, while the world of fog circulating around this place began to get disturbed. He knew she was similar to the nine tailed fox in most things, except for two. She wasn't that hostile to humans.
Even if she kept cursing humans, she still believed in the old myth about the root of everything. William was sure of her spirit, she believed monsters were at fault, and they deserved such treatment since then.
As for the second aspect, she reached the pinnacle of power in this world, a midstage world between the tiny worlds and the outer one. Unlike the nine tailed fox which reached the pinnacle of power in the outer world.
William knew if anyone managed to touch the ceiling before, he was able to do it again. Besides, she got him.
He planned to take her by his side, heavily focusing on supporting and nourishing her. She didn't need any guidance on training but would require lots of resources and help from him and his guild to rise fast in the ranks.
As her eyes started to fade away, William was curious to see how she'd turn into a human. This was something never heard before even in the outer world, something that was like a legendary moment, one in the kind.
Yet he was destined to get disappointed.
"Sorry but you need to leave," without any warning, a bellow of white and green wind suddenly erupted out of nowhere, carrying him alongside it, gently taking him across all the distance he crossed inside this region.
"Wait… I want to…"
"Don't worry, I need just one month to finish my evolution process," her voice rang in his ears as he was getting moved fast, fast as if he was teleporting or something, "after one month, you can come anytime and check on me. I'll wait for you."
William knew this was a final rejection to any attempt of his to stay and watch. If he was going to be expelled out of the entire region, he knew he wouldn't be able to see anything.
Using spirit sense? That was pointless. He knew the fog of her could break down any spirit sense when she was in slumber. And now as she was waking up and turning to a human, she wouldn't allow anyone to spy over her, not even him.
"Tell me fast, tell me where I can find the nearest portal, and how to activate it."
"You need a human to do so…"
"Just tell me, before I'm out of here!" William's thoughts swiftly drifted towards one thing, the portal leading away from this world. He came here to look for it, and he wouldn't let such a chance slip by.
She knew everything about these portals, where they were, how to access them. And as she was going to be away for a month, he knew this was his last chance in knowing the answer to such a dilemma.
"Oh, the nearest one… It's at…"
She started to speak, but her voice came slow and weak, as if it was coming from far away or something.
"Slow down this wind, tell me in detail about how to find and activate it."
"Ok, but don't get depressed if you can't activate it. When I turn into a human, I'll need to reach a silver grade at least to keep this portal running…"
She started to speak first about herself, before her words turned to speak about the portal, its place, how to activate it and such things.
