291 An Little Beast Spirits Class
—–
Apparently my father wanted to register us as adventurers. I had my doubts about near eight-year-old kids becoming adventurers, but it seemed they were confident we would be able to register by using their authority as heroes... or well, S-Rank Adventurers with different names. I guess S-Rank Adventurers are allowed to do many things as well and may even be able to bend rules established in guilds and more. Well, I will see that when we get there.
But what’s up with Zack? He really seemed eager to bring me a gift made by his own hunt. I guess that’s very cute to be honest, seeing him all excited made me think of him as a cute little brother. Now I really want to protect that cute smile he got. The feeling is quite similar with Aquarina I suppose and it seems that he motivated her to also get to hunt something valuable to make a special gift for me. I honestly feel very flattered... I’ll have to also make my best to get them something nice as well! I’ll also give them some nice birthday gifts for our birthdays... Ah, well, at this point Zack is the oldest of us too, right? He’s near nine in fact.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt...Although I feel like Ninhursag has been the one that influenced him into hunting for a gift. I suppose she’s imparting part of her tribe’s beliefs and customs to him. He will take over the role as the last “descendant” of her tribe as her adoptive son, so I suppose that fits. Oh! And talking about Nin’s magic, we practiced these last weeks quite a lot, but it was very hard and tiring to get our Beast Spirits out of us. As always, I have my Dragon-like beast spirit, while Aquarina got one that resembles Leviathan, and then Zack has a mix of various monsters and animals, although I’ve noticed that the biggest one is a brown bear with a black horn named Horned Bear. When did he ate one? Maybe Ninhursag feed it to him so he could get a strong beast spirit.
We still cannot even compare to her ability to shapeshift or anything of the sort, as her abilities involve several types of magic fused together, and also her own race trait, which is a benefit and an innate talent that is very hard to try to imitate, even my parents have hard time shapeshifting into beasts, so they usually not do it anyways. But they said that all three of us are still very young and brimming with talent, if we continue practicing each day, we might reach heights they cannot reach now that they have reached their peak. To be honest, transforming into a giant red dragon similar to Ignatius has been one of my dreams ever since Ninhursag taught us about Shapeshifting Magic and the relation it had with the Spirits of Monsters and Beasts we consume and absorb into our bodies through meals made with Cooking Magic, which carries these creatures’ essences.
Hm, but now that I got Beelzebub, can I turn into a giant fly as well? ...Huh, wait, no, I doubt it. After all we need to consume it as well. The strongest monster I’ve ever eaten was Ignatius made through Cooking Magic by my mother after all. I never ate any parts of Beelzebub’s body, although I have a sword that has infused his exoskeleton as materials, and also a part of his demon core, which grants my sword the ability to create Curse Black Flames, and might hold other powers I have yet to find out and unlock. Now that he’s my new Spirit of Darkness and Poison Attributes, as he grows stronger I can also find ways to unlock his powers through his sword. Just like I use my accessories made out of Ignatius Magic Core to catalyze his flames and better use his spiritual powers.
“Well, well, before leaving, you guys will have a thirty-minute class with me. An express class. As I want to check out how your Beast Spirits have been developing!” Ninhursag said with a smile. She had changed a lot since the first time we meet her and since all of the tragedies passed. She feels like a brand-new woman now to be honest. I feel like she’s way happier than ever before... I am glad I was able to help her even if a little bit too. She has already become an indispensable member of our family, and I can’t imagine a day without her in our family.
“Alright!” I said while raising my arms. “I’ll show you my powerful dragon!”
“I-I’ll also do my best!” Said Aquarina.
.....
“Hehe, my Horned Bear is growing stronger! I’ll make him eat the other beast spirits to grow bigger. You said specialize was better right?” Asked Zack.
“Well unless you’re a Skin Changer like me, yes.” Said Ninhursag. “It is better to specialize in a single Beast Spirit until you master their powers before starting in a new one. So allowing your strongest one to grow stronger by devouring the other smaller beast spirits is not a bad idea.”
“Alright! I’ll become a powerful bear then!” Zack was very excited.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmNinhursag quickly led us to her tent while I left my parents getting everything ready to move towards the nearby village. I was very close to Ninhursag and I felt the impulse to hug her because I haven’t really done it in a while. She was always warm and big, so it felt nice to hug her.
“Ninhursag!” I moved to her side and hugged her. She was so tall I could only hug her up to her waist and a bit over her belly, which was as hard as a rock with the strong muscles she had. She acted quite surprised for a bit, but giggled and petted my head.
“Oh? Sylphy, if your mother sees you hugging me she’ll get jealous!” She giggled.
“But you’re my auntie, I can hug you if I want to!” I said.
“Fufu... of course.” She said, kissing my forehead. “You’re such a spoiled little girl~”
When she kneeled, I caught her and hugged her chest as I often do- but something strange happened. When I touched her necklace which was filled with fangs and claws of monsters, I had touched a strange little blue crystal attached to it.
And I felt... something emerging inside my Soul Scape out of the sudden.
