Yuki was staring intently at the Box, she was very worried about Aika's safety. Afraid that something might happen now that she knows that a Spirit is living inside of the Red Box, it could mean that he/she inside will have the choice if it ever wants to kill Aika for trying to claim the inheritance despite only being a half - Beast. But none of that matters anymore as Aika has already started to put her Mana inside of the Red Box to see if she has the qualities of becoming the next Goddess of the Mystic Dragon Heaven, but all of them were only left with suspense, and nothing happened eventually. Seconds passed, then minutes, but nothing still happened and this outcome made Yuki sigh in relief. Just as she sighed, something big happened that never happened after trying out the Red Box four times, it was nothing like Rory and Sayaka got.
Everyone was shocked at this result that Serene even needed to stand up and protect Aika from the incoming danger that she might have to face because…. She would have never expected the Spirit of the Red Box to make an appearance, this was something none of them would have expected. It was abnormal because a Spirit of an Item will usually stay inside of the item that they are bound to, Aika is different because she was not really a Spirit, but a whole entity, that was their difference. A Spirit would like to stay inside because it is much more comfortable to them and they are freer inside unlike when they are outside they would have to make a physical body to stay in, such troubles are not needed as they can still help their Master in different ways other than fighting beside them in the real world.
"Little Girl, were you the last person who touched the Mystic Dragon God's Vault?" The man asked as he stared down at Aika who was being covered by Yuki's body right at this moment. Just as the Spirit came out, she felt immense coming power coming from him, his power was greater than God who she has killed easily, and looking at the person in front of her, Yuki was not the least confident of defending Aika from him, she doesn't even have the confidence of wounding the Man in front of her. The aura that he was releasing was close to the Avatar of the Gods that she has destroyed a few months ago, but this time she could actually feel that it was more than that. And it could only mean one thing, she is facing someone who is a True God.
"Yuki, stay out of this. This person is not someone who you can fight, this Spirit is as powerful as a God." Serene said with all seriousness as she puts her arm on Yuki's shoulder before pushing her back to stare down at the man eye to eye. Ayame has also taken a step forward and asked everyone to stand behind her to protect all of them from the Spirit because they don't know if he has evil intentions or not.
"What if she is? Are going to do something to her, if you are you can forget it. I can assure you that you will not be able to see tomorrow's sunrise if you decide to do something." Serene asked in a bone-shivering tone as she released her deathly aura to pressure down the Spirit. Even if the Spirit still has the power of a God, in front of Serene, he was still nothing but a bug that she could easily kill like some ant. Serene's move made the Spirit take a step back slightly out of fear, but even so. He would not let anyone easily scare him, that is not how he was thought by his Master, the previous God of the Mystic Dragon Heaven. Taking a deep breath slightly, he finally responded to Serene's question with a calm face.
"Don't worry, I'm not going to do anything to the little girl. I was merely curious about who woke me up from my deep slumber." The Spirit said with coldness as he then stares at Aika who was still being protected by Yuki at this moment when Yuki saw that the man was staring at her daughter intently, she released her bloodlust and directed him, but it only backfires on her because the protection that the Spirit has. Blood begins to sip out of her mouth which shocked everyone in the room.
"Mortal, don't try to do anything funny, or else I might just kill you right where you stand." The Spirit warned, but before anyone could react, they heard a scream of cries from a little girl.
"No! Don't kill my Mommy, or… or else. I will not forgive you!" Aika yelled out towards the Spirit as she then stepped forward and stood in front of Yuki to try to protect her from the Spirit that just attacked her. Her actions shocked Yuki, but she quickly regained her composure and she stopped her from doing anything reckless.
"Be a good little girl, Aika. I'm fine, stay behind me." Yuki said gently as she then showed her that she was truly fine, this made Aika calm down a little, but she didn't follow the words of her Mommy which was something she has never done before. She was an obedient little girl, she would always follow Yuki's words.
"You- you're her Mother?" The Spirit asked with a tone full of shock as he stares down at Yuki with a hint of fear in them. His reaction made some other people confused at this point, at first he was so arrogant and cold, but now it suddenly changed when he knew who was Aika's Mother. This made them a little suspicious about him and Serene who has already enough of the Spirit took the Small Knife on the table and stabbed his body, her movements were so fast that none of them even realized what happened.
"Listen here… I am quite impatient, and if you don't start talking about why you want to talk to my granddaughter, I will kill you where you stand. Vantil would be disappointed if he is still alive and saw his most precious Spirit be this dumb. You clearly don't know what kind of situation you are in right now…" Serene said in a terrifying tone as she held the Spirit's body to give it support, as she stabbed him at the weakest point of a Spirit Item, which was their core. At this point, the Spirit was finally terrified out of his wits because he has taken a serious injury, and the most terrifying part is that it came from a simple Dinner Knife. This fact shows how powerful the woman is, and taking a deeper look at the woman in front of him, his knees gave out when he now realized who she is.
"Go- Goddess Serene?" The Spirit asked in a shivering tone, but his reaction only made Seren smile in response, but it was not like an ordinary smile, it was a twisted one.
"So you finally recognized who I am, huh? Isn't that good? Vantil is truly unlucky to be contracted with a useless and Dumb Spirit like you." Serene said in response as she took a quick pause before opening her mouth to start interrogating the man.
"Tell me everything. Why did you wake up from your slumber because my granddaughter put her Mana inside of this Red Box?" Serene asked coldly as she took a sit on the chair that she pulled out from her Spatial Ring. Her words only made the Spirit more fearful, the word granddaughter only means one thing. The woman that he just injured was his daughter. To maybe ease the punishment that he would receive, he is going to confess everything that he knows.
"I… It's because I sense a different kind of power from the little girl. It was not like any other who tried to claim the Inheritance. But you don't need to worry Goddess Serene, I really don't mean any harm to her. I just wanted to find out who she is because I felt that the Inheritance my Master left would be useless to her. I'm not saying that she is worthy, but it is the complete opposite! I believe that it would be a waste for her to become the Goddess of the Mystic Dragon Heaven because she can achieve something higher than that, and I don't want to tie her down in this kind of place. That is my sole reason for coming out, so please forgive me for all of the mistakes that I did, I'm willing to take any punishment, so please don't kill me." The Spirit laid out everything and didn't even try to hide anything from Serene.
"Is that all you have to say?" Serene asked because she knew that he was still trying to keep some things to himself. And her question made him shiver once more, he thought that was able to escape the eyes of Serene, but he was wrong. He will never be able to escape the eyes of Serene.
"When I exited, I found out who is the person who will inherit the Mystic Dragon Heaven."
