Chapter 780 Physique Evolution

-----

After a lot of exercise in the gym this morning, and then a nice meal with my family and my boyfriend, I decided to log-in back into the game quite early today.

Mark said he'll log-in in an hour or two, after he was done with some things at his job, so I better do something productive until they all log-in to have that meeting with the King.

They did say it was going to be early in the morning but there was no way we would be able to get there early in the morning, so I hope they can understand.

Though, before doing that, after taking a warm bath and relaxing, I heard something within my head.

[Your Physique has developed enough Physique Runes.]

[Your Physique: [Spirit Tree Maiden]: Tier 1: Rank 9 has increased to Tier 1: Rank 10!]

[Your Physical Strength, Agility, Toughness, and Movement Speed have greatly increased.]

[It is now possible to Evolve your Physique.]

"Wow, after over a week since I got my Physique... I can finally evolve it! Wait, isn't that fast?! Being in Arcadia has certainly twisted my perception of time a bit..." I muttered, analyzing my body to feel it was even stronger.

My abs were rock hard, my arms looked strong, my thighs seemed deadly, capable of easily crushing ten watermelons if I ever wanted...

I think I should look bulkier with so many muscles, but everything seems compacted enough to make me look almost the same as before, if not just taller.

Unless I just show my body and then let everyone notice my hard gains, it's hard for anybody to tell I'm muscular.

"Hahaha, I kind of like these hard as rock abs instead of the belly I had." I giggled, feeling rather proud of my body.

"Yeah, you've certainly gotten hotter- I mean, stronger." The Great Spirit nodded, appearing by my side. "Time to get an upgrade then! Do you have the Materials?"

"I did prepare them a while ago." I took them out of my Inventory. "Yggdragon Scales, my own Yggdragon Spirit Branches, Roots, Fruits, Dragon Blood Sap, should I add more of the Dragon Materials?"

"I guess you should, to enhance the Yggdragon Power even further, it can absorb any Dragon Ability. After all, the Yggdragon is the Progenitor of all Dragons! The perfect child of the gods made by their combined Divinities." Said the Great Spirit.

"Yeah... I don't like to be reminded I inherited such a legacy, because then I compare it with Erebus and it makes me feel bad he's catalogued as the "failed" child..." I sighed. "I wonder how he's doing, since I put him in that fruit that he hasn't moved."

"He had pupating for almost a month now, but he should get out soon, I believe." She said. "Anyways, I feel like we should add another thing to your Physique. Going by the norm is going to make things boring, right? Why don't you spice things up a bit at least?"

"Spice things up?" I asked. "W-What do you mean by that?"

"Adding an unexpected power to your Physique, your Physique can literally absorb and assimilate anything... Although it is fine if you want to continue the same path as your Avatar, it's never wrong to diverge to gain new and different abilities." She explained. "Like... Hmm, to make you more proficient with them, how about you add the Nightmare and Dream Materials you got?"

"Oh! I suppose... I could try?" I wondered. "And what else? Hmm... Wait, this is...?"

I took out a large red crystal that was inside of my Inventory, it was a Crystalized Demonic Energy Stone, the one John gifted to me. It was just pure Demonic Energy, with nothing else.

"A Demonic Energy Stone?" The Great Spirit was intrigued. "Well, it doesn't have any soul in it, so it shouldn't be too hard but... It could give you unprecedented powers you wouldn't be able to control too well... Are you sure you want to risk it for the biscuit?"

"Hmm, maybe not for now I guess, it would be too conflicting with my powers." I nodded, saving the stone inside the inventory. "Hehe, but I got something better."

I took out a bunch of white feathers, golden hair threads, and a small bottle of red blood, shining with a golden aura.

"W-What are those items?!" The Great Spirit got excited. "P-Perfect! This is just what we needed to spice things up! Seeing how you were getting more proficient at Holy Light Magic..."

"I got these from Angelina. I bought them from her after politely asking I needed Holy Light attribute materials." I explained. "She gave me a bunch of her wing feathers, her golden hair, and even a bit of her blood. She sold them to be for 50 million gold."

"Wow that's expensive I think?" Asked the Great Spirit.

"No, it was quite cheap. She said she never thought about selling her own materials, but seeing how they can be used to create potions and crafting, she realized she might begin to do that if she needs money." I smiled. "Anyways, with this, let's begin!"

I placed all the materials I wanted to use in the Magic Array, and after arranging the Runes here and there, we began the process.

The entire Magic Array activated almost instantly, the materials turning into particles of light and flying into my body endlessly.

FLAAASH!

Not only the power of the Dragon Materials flowed into my body, but also of the Angel Materials from Angelina...

Their combined powers created something anew, as I felt like my whole body was floating in an endless sea of light.

It was a relaxing experience, and it wasn't painful at all...

When everything ended, I found my body had changed. A pair of dragon-like wings grew on my back, covered by beautiful white feathers.

Parts of my body were now covered on golden scales, resembling a natural armor... My nails grew into sharp woody claws.

My eyes seemed draconic, burning with blazing power, I had a long tail made of wood and covered on golden scales.

And I even had horns!

"W-What?!"

When I looked myself in the mirror I felt quite shocked... I was even blonde now, and my eyes were shining very brightly.

"Huh?"

However, that wasn't the end of my surprises. There was even something in the shape of a ring, made of golden light, floating over my head.

"I-Is that what I think it is?!"

As I tried to touch it, I felt a strong burning sensation, I quickly pulled my hand away from it, as it scared me to even touch it!

"Y-You got a Halo, yep." n-.OvelbIn

The Great Spirit gave me the new good news as soon as possible... I never thought that just absorbing Angelina's blood, hair, and feathers would just give me a halo!

"What the hell is this?! Did I turn myself into an angel now?! T-That wasn't within my expectations..." I sighed.

"N-No, you're not an angel, but you're something close to it." The Great Spirit said, inspecting the halo. "Your Physique has absorbed their properties, alongside the dragon ones... You're what I would call an Angelic Dragon! Or a Holy Dragon, pick the name. Oh! What about Angelic Holy Dragon? Or Holy Angelic Dragon?"

"Ugh, shut up for a bit, let me process this..." I sighed, resting over my bed.

My appearance slowly went back to normal thankfully, the Halo simply became invisible or something.

And the Voice of the World spoke inside of my head.
