During these days I managed to prepare everything I needed, in fact, I even have more than I needed, it seems that Kira is taking advantage of the fact that we are going to leave this city to rob several corrupt nobles and criminal leaders.
With Kira’s current strength I don’t think anyone in this town has the ability to stop her from stealing besides Carlos and Lucas, Kira has been training a lot with Byakko and has mastered the basics of spiritual energy, she has many new tricks.
Kira got four more crystal cards in addition to the four we already had, because of that Anton has been out of sleep for three days to create weapons where these cards can be used, Lyra seems to be helping him by putting magic circles on the weapons too, Lyra has been surprising me with the large number of potions she made, thanks to her we are well prepared.
And when others did all these things I used water magic to create a big water sphere and threw all the bones I was holding into that sphere, then activated my corrosion ability, many of the bones melted in a few seconds, but there were some of took a few minutes.
After that, I drank the big sphere which is easily twenty times my size.
Ding!

<[ Your skill leveled up [ Lower Insatiable Stomach: 3 > 4 ] ]>
I must say I expected more skills, but I think I can understand, the skills I should get from eating bones I should already have.
But that’s ok, I got a lot of good skills, I have nothing to complain about.
The Aura Sense skill will be very useful when training with Sophia, she has been teaching me how to better control and use my Auras for the past few days.
Now let me go over the skills I gained from the synthesis over the past four days.
• [ Magic elemental resistance (earth/thunder/wood/ice/wind): 1 ]
• [ Elemental magic (wind/fire/earth/light/thunder/wood/ice): 1 ]
• [ Weapon Master ]
One I tried to synthesize my similar abilities as my magic resistances, my elemental magic abilities, and my various types of weapon handling abilities.
To be honest, I have never used half of my Weapons Handling skills so I did that and I was very happy to receive the skill from [ Weapons Master ], this is a skill that has no level, this skill helps me learn quickly in Handling all types of weapons, unfortunately, it won’t be very useful for me as I only use my sword and dagger, but I’m sure I’ll find a use for it.
I am trying to synthesize only similar abilities as it seems to be easier, I also thought about synthesizing my Aura abilities together, but after I learned that these abilities represent the characteristics of your own normal Aura, I was afraid it would have a bad reaction for me, so I decided to ask Goddess Selene during my next evolution.
I was on my balcony looking up at the sky which was unfortunately cloudy today, but the sight of the Spirits and Fairy Infants flying around the mansion was already pretty enough for me to relax, so I see a green glow in the sky for a second then it disappears.
“It’s been a while, Zenos.” (female voice)
When I turn around I see a beautiful woman who looks like a White Elf with green hair and eyes, her expression was kind, she wore a dress made of beautiful leaves and vines, she also had green butterfly wings and a beautiful wreath made of twigs on her head.
“Queen of the Fairies, Hera!” (I)
“I see you still remember me, it looks like you got a lot stronger than before.” (Hera)
The Wood Element Faerie Queen, I remember she was one of the five Faerie Kings who healed my soul when I saved Layla in the past.
“Are you the Fairy Queen the Goddess Aine said she would send?” (I)
“Yeah, I actually checked it yesterday, but something caught my eye so I took a while to investigate.” (Hera)
I was already thinking that I wouldn’t come, I’m very curious to know why the Goddess Aine wants me to face this Necromancer.
“Do you know why the Goddess Aine wants to see me face this Necromancer?” (I)
“Yes, I came here not only to explain the situation to you but also to repair the damage done after you’re done.” (Hera)
“Wait, didn’t you come to fight?” (I)
“I can’t fight, if I interfere it will only increase the problem, I can’t interfere in this continent if there isn’t a Fae Taboo broken.” (Hera)
“…” (I)
“I just came here to clean up that miasma in the mountain range, actually that’s what I’ve been looking into since yesterday.” (Hera)
“If I’m not mistaken, Jana mentioned that the Necromancer is spreading miasma there to make his army stronger.” (I)
“From what I’ve observed this miasma is not coming from the Necromancer, it is coming from the caves, but it appears that the Necromancer is serving as a means to lure this miasma out of the caves.” (Hera)
So the Necromancer does not have complete power over the miasma.
“Do you know everything I talked to Jana?” (I)
“If you’re talking about the young Ghoul, then yes, the Goddess told me everything.” (Hera)
“One of the things I need to do is tell you the identity of this Necromancer.” (Hera)
“Jana told us his name is Farus.” (I)
“I’m not talking about his name, I’m talking about the one he serves.” (Hera)
“After you got that Dungeon Core the Goddess Aine managed to discover the location of an Evil God, she found out that the God is on that continent, ever since I and other Faerie Kings have been looking for him.” (Hera)
“But we didn’t find anything, the Goddess is always watching you these days, she said she was worried about your plan but didn’t explain what that plan was, so she noticed the Ghoul’s arrival and heard your story.” (Hera)
“The Goddess suspects the Evil God may be hiding in the underground caves of the mountain range, if she’s right then this necromancer surely has orders from that God to go after you.” (Hera)
“The Goddess thinks this Necromancer might be a priest or servant of this Evil God, this God seems to be very hurt, so he is using this Necromancer to recover.” (Hera)
“And how would he recover?” (I)
“Gods use their believers’ faith to gain strength and recover when they are weak or wounded, but there are other ways as well.” (Hera)
“Demon Gods use their believers’ desires along with their faith.” (Hera)
“The Evil Gods use sacrifice, this necromancer is using the lives of the races within the mountain range as a sacrifice and at the same time transforms the dead into the Undead to become new servants and believers of that God.” (Hera)
“If that’s true, then why won’t Goddess Aine or any other God take care of this Evil God?” (I)
“They cannot descend into the physical world, the mere presence of a God would do more harm than it would help.” (Hera)
“So what to do about it?” (I)
“If you do away with the Necromancer, I and other Fairy Kings will clear the miasma in the mountain range, it will make the Fairies and Spirits come back to live there, bringing balance to the ecosystem.” (Hera)
“Besides, this Necromancer must have a strong connection with this Evil God, when he dies his God will also suffer damage, this will allow me and other Faerie Kings to reach him.” (Hera)
“Are you strong enough to face a God?” (I)
“No, but this God is weak and very wounded, it will be difficult but we should be able to seal him.” (Hera)
“So you want to use me to find this Evil God, is that your plan?” (I)
“Yea.” (Hera)
“…” (I)
“Do I still have time to leave this Kingdom?” (I)
“No need to act like that, you should be happy, this God wouldn’t forget what you did, he would find a way to find you sooner or later.” (Hera)
“Besides, you’ll get a reward for what you’re going to do.” (Hera)
“What reward?” (I)
“You won’t know until later.” (Hera)
“…” (I)
“(I don’t like this situation, the Fairies are basically using me to find this Evil God, the worst thing is that he might do something to me if I go there.)” (I)
“You don’t have to worry, gods cannot interfere with the physical world directly, the most he could do is send his subordinates and believers after you.” (Hera)
“Could you stop reading my mind?” (I)
I’m not even able to feel any kind of energy, Aura, or presence coming from this Fairy Queen, her strength is so superior to mine that I’m not even able to tell by sight, she read my thoughts without me noticing or having a way to defend myself.
“I already agreed, so I’ll continue what I’m already doing, we’ve already made all the preparations anyway.” (I)
“That’s what I wanted to hear, I’ll show up after it’s all over to deliver your reward.” (Hera)
After saying everything she wanted, the Fairy Queen disappears without a trace in a flash of green light.
“I knew this problem wouldn’t be that simple.” (I)
