Reincarnated As The Skeleton of a Fallen Angel-Chapter 40. Back To The Castle

Back to the castle

Once Rose woke up, we went together to the tent outside the room.

When we reached it, everyone was still sleeping. Since I didn’t want to wake them up, I just started analyzing my weapon and some skills.

[So with what do you want to start?]

’Let’s start with the staff first. Since I had it, I never analyzed it."

[Name: [????]

[State: (Sealed) (Bounded)

[Owner: [Nyx]

[Attack: [30.000]

[Defense: [25.000]

[Agility: [40.000]

[Mana: [70.000]

Traits

[Self-Growth]

[Automatic Repair]

[Size Change]

’Ooh, it’s quite the weapon.’

[What do you mean?]

’Apart from the fact it is sealed for some reason, it actually increases almost all of my stats, at least the most important one.’

[Honestly, I would say this is just a joke compared to how strong his original strength is.]

’Oooh and how strong was it?’

[I don’t know. I was not even born befor that weapon was made; the only thing I do know is who made it.]

’Wait, wasn’t i the one that made this.’ 𝕗𝕣𝐞𝐞𝘄𝐞𝚋𝚗𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗹.𝚌𝕠𝚖

[Yes, but you were helped by a hundred skilled dwarves whose craftsmanship was second only to the god of smiths. You guys locked yourself up in the forge for at least a millennium to just forge it. So i doubt after so much time and effort this is the result of one hundred dwarves and a goddess’s smithing capability.]

’Well, if you put it this way indeed somebody who know its story will find it just a joke but even knowing it true power it is not like for the moment we can do anything to bring it back to its former glory.’

[True, so do you want me to analyse the rest of the skills?]

’I don’t think it is that necessary; I can imagine some just bust my growth speed to an unbelievable degree.’

[...]

’So some really do that!! ... That aside, I can see that the level of the skills is gone and replaced with this (advanced) word. Why this drastic change?’

[The more you evolve the stronger you will get and the more limitation from the system will be lifted.]

’For now, how many limits did i lift?’

[You are not even close to 10%.]

’What will happen once i have fully unlocked all the restriction?’

[Technically you should have reached the peak of your power.]

’I wonder why it just sounds like there will be somebody cheating it out so that I reach that point faster?’

[...]

’Seriously, I can’t take you guys anymore...’

"Hey you, how long are you planning to hide in the shadows for?"

I said as I turned my head to the corner of the door we just came from.

[So you noticed him?]

’It is not like he is effectively trying to hide himself.’

"If you don’t come out by yourself, I will just force you to!"

I said as I just created a sphere of darkness the size of a finger, but even though it was that small, the damage was not to be underestimated since it was around 100 spheres compressed together.

After seeing I was not joking, the shadow came out; it was a man covered in darkness, but I already knew that was just a disguise.

"You should also retreat the darkness that is covering your body as well; I want to clearly see who you are."

Surprisingly, he just obeyed my command without even trying to resist.

Once all the shadows were gone, I was shocked to see that the person in front of me was actually a woman.

"Wait...those golden eyes, the dark blue skin could it be!? Are you Sofy?"

"I am pleased you still remember me, your highness the demon queen."

"Hahah, to think that little shadow demon would become such a powerful beauty."

"I would like to correct you about that; I was not small. Your Highness was simply taller than any demon in general."

"Let go with that for now; can you tell me what happened for you to end up here? Ah! Right! But be careful of what you say because right now I am under a curse and can’t remember about my past life."

"I am well aware of your curse; after all, I used to be your shadow."

Long story short, after the worlds were merged together, she could finally use the power of the necklace I gave her to reach me no matter where I was.

After the explanation, I just kept talking with her till the others woke up and introduced her to them, but apparently they already had the chance to meet before because she was the one that told them to bring me inside that room.

"Anyway, should we eat something before going back? I am quite hungry after sleeping for that long."

"That sounds good to me."

"No objections here."

"If you may excuse me, I will start preparing some breakfast. Lady Nyx, could you please give me some ingredients?"

"Ah! Right, I forgot that I have them in my shadow storage."

After handing some ingredients to Rose, I was planning to help Eris to disassemble the tent, but before that, I wanted to know what Sofy wanted to do.

"Are you planning to go back?"

"Not really, since the demon realm is not what it used to be anymore. I prefer to stay away from that place for some time."

Apparently after I died in that world, there was an internal war that brought it to ruin.

"Honestly, what is the problem with everyone always fighting to satisfy their greed? What a cliché."

"..."

"So it truly went like that."

By the time we finished disassembling the tent, Rose was almost done with the breakfast preparation; obviously it wasn’t anything luxurious like a 5-star restaurant, but it was still close to it, especially if we think about the place we are in; she really did a great job.

Looking at the table, I could not wait anymore.

"Rose, everything here looks so amazingly delicious."

[Wow, after your evolution, your personality changed a lot, did it not?]

’Well, something was bound to change after all.’

"Mother, you have changed after waking up."

"You think so too; it is due to the new chance. Most probably the next evolution may fix something."

"If I may say something, your highness, this personality of yours is not even close to your original personality."

"What do you mean? Was I better or worse back then?"

"I can’t say if it was worse, but you were really arrogant to the point of taking any fight as a game, not like you were wrong in doing so, but if needed, you were also deathly serious to the point that the whole kingdom could feel your anger."

"I definitely can imagine how scared the other could be of Mother at those moments haha."

"Eris, this is not funny at all."

"It’s"

"It’s"

[It’s]

’Even you!’

Moments of peace like those will become more difficult to have in the future, so it is not so bad to enjoy them when they come.

"All right, is everybody ready?"

I said as I created a shadow basket to transport the others. Once they were all in, I started flying, but before doing that, I warned them of the speed since that was my first time after the evolution, so I was not sure that I could control it perfectly. To be safe, I asked [Global Wisdom] to always be ready with the shadow magic just in case anything happened.

It didn’t take that much time before something happened. The exact moment I started to fly upward, we would have hit the ceiling hard because of the speed.

"Maybe it’s better if we move in the shadow."

"We don’t have any objections, Mother."

’Luckily i asked you to be ready with the magic.’

[Well, it was expected after all.]

’I wonder whose fault it is?’

[...]

By going through the shadow, we were able to quickly get back to the castle.

"Here we are, home sweet home. Hmm? What is wrong with you guys?"

I asked as I turned, looking at the other barely standing up.

"Mother, usually somebody would die with that speed. I am not a goddess anymore, you know."

"Well, I can understand Eris and the other point, but I am surprised that even you, Sofy, have some problem."

"A lot of things happened in the demon realm."

"Then let me help you inside to rest a little."
