Mist was fascinated with her spirit's new Skills. She tried the arrows out right away, noticing they were much stronger in some ways to her usual magic arrows. And were only slightly weaker to the ones her dress can create but were much cheaper and carried a higher amount of spirit power, good against certain enemy types, and it was faster to produce. She thought that a good combination between the two types of magic arrows would make her very strong.

"Mister Teddy next, please!" Celica asked cutely.

"Okay, alright." I nodded. "But Celica, I got you a favor for later. Can you play with Zephyrus more?"

"Huh? Sure! I like playing with Zephy, he's my best friend and he's cute!" Said Celica happily.

I just hope they can keep getting along until my little brother grows up into a teenager, I am fairly sure he'll confess to her by then. He has to just keep hanging and growing up both in age and strength! Celica is not going to wait for him to catch up, so he has to work extra hard to catch up not only with her but with us.

Anyways, Mister Teddy evolved. His armored body became twice as tall out of the blue, and a powerful dark and phantasmal aura surged from his body. His giant hammer got upgraded and became mightier-looking, and above all, he now got a powerful black shield to go with the weapon and the armor.

It was really interesting! He kept with his very exaggerated stat specialization and also his two new Skills were interesting. The shield by itself was amazing, and there was something completely new. Apparently his class changed to Black Ghost Knight, becoming something like a phantom fighter of sorts, inheriting this element from his master most likely.

And above all, there's a new Skill he was using right now after Celica saw his Status. A dozen small, only about a meter-big teddy bears appeared, floating around him and us. They weren't normal teddy bears, but ghostly ones, phantasmal in appearance and even powers and form.

"So Mister Teddy is like me now! He can summon his own little minions to help him out, so cool!" Celica loved that new change.

"That Mister Teddy is sure something…" Sighed Celeste. "You better catch up with that living and moving mass of clay, lil' Onyx."

"Kyuuh! Chuu!"

"Well, aren't you a cutie? Maybe just keep being cute and I'll be fine with it." Laughed Celeste.

I quickly evolved her Onyx, her darkness bat-shaped spirit. Apparently she had him for a while now, and both were growing together with each passing day. It was much different than her former relationship with that Demonic Spirit thing she had acquired from her contract with an Evil God.

Onyx's appearance didn't change, almost at all! He remained looking like a cute little black and red bat. This time he gained a new pair of bigger wings behind the other ones though. And well, he was now laughing most of the time. Does this come with being "devilish" or whatever?

"Aww, Onyx, you got a bit fatter now! Aren't you quite the chunky little bastard?" Laughed Celeste, she even teased her own spirit, poking at their belly playfully.

The new Skills her Spirit acquired were the ability to summon a spear made of curses, darkness, and some element of void, although only a small quantity of such power. And lastly, a dress of sorts that can encompass and protect Celeste.

"Aren't your new Skills just custom made for me? Are you a pervert that want to see me happy or something?" Laughed Celeste, still playing around with her spirit.

"Kyuh, kyuuh! Chuu, chuuu!" The little bat didn't understand her words, only flying around her.

Once we were finally done with the Rank Ups here, we quickly walked outside the tent. I stored the tent and everything else inside my Inventory after Glutton ate it all with a single bite, and then we departed.

By riding Furoh on a large Swamp Drake form to maneuver around the wetlands with ease, we moved across the beautiful landscape while growing closer to the white crystal tree. This tree was definitely not normal, yet it had no affiliation with the gods either, as there are no ruins below it, but an intricate series of tunnels and caves made by the Slimes.

"And we're here, at long last, our last stop, everyone… Thank you so much for coming!" Pyuku said happily. "Now, how do we… get down there? Do we dig or something?"

"Is there no entrance?!" I asked.

"A-Ahahaha, well, there should be one, but I don't see any. So my theory is that they… just dug underground for a while and then stayed there…" Pyuku said.

"No need to feel sorry about that, I guess that it is what it is." Aquarina shrugged. "Now- Huh?"

Suddenly, Aquarina accidentally touched the tree, as the tree immediately glowed brightly. A magic circle conjured itself right below us, sucking all three of us way, teleporting us somewhere else!

"What the…?!

"Sylphy?!"

"Pyuku!"

FLASH!

We all hugged one another in the panic of the situation, as our bodies were sent away, suddenly landing inside of another place, right below the tree, I could feel it.

However, it was a temple of sorts?! And right in front of us there was a group of…

Metallic golems.
