...****************...
When Leon summoned Shizue to this world, he was just a child who was still immature in a terrible state both physically and spiritually, so that the gift of that world was even more deadly to him than the otherworldly people who were usually summoned with healthy adult bodies.
So, trying to save him, he made the larger fire spirits of Ifrit inhabit his body to help him control the large amount of magic that raged on his body. After all, humans unlike monsters could not handle storing too much magic in their bodies.
But the case of Yuki and Yurei is different, In the case of Yurei, she has a stone body and a strong body to help her deal with the magic pressure while Yuki has a stronger body and abilities as well as her magic core!
Meanwhile, because Ifrit doesn't like being forcibly locked up inside Shizue, he keeps trying from time to time to break away from her or take control of her body. However, Shizue's wish had always been firm for many years.
But she slowly grows older and keeping control over Ifrit begins to tire out her weakened body, and the incident inside the auction house only worsened him because he used too much of his strength and fatigue to divert Elmesia's attack making him almost lose control.if not for Yuki allowing him to use the clarity stone.
However, even this was only a temporary solution since the real problem was with his deteriorating body.
--------
Upon seeing that the situation CZ had stabilized, Yuki ordered Kayle and Sacha to take care of him before he gestured to Yurei with a gaze and the two of them left the inn.
"So, Yurei, you got any good stuff?" Yuki asked with a smile and Yurei replied with one of hers while nodding and saying, "Yes sir, I got a lot for us"
"Let's grab them" Yuki said excitedly and Yurei quickly led the way to the waste entrance not far from the auction house.
Yuki did not like the way Elmesia disrespectfully took the dragon's heart and the further arrogance shown by his butler, so he decided to make a mess as a distraction for Yurei to rob their treasure! And the quest he received was just a icing on the cake because everything went smoothly!
After following Yurei for a while, the two of them used the ghost phasing skill, to enter the hidden location within the Sarion sewage system that Yurei discovered by chance while holding a stack of treasures, Yuki was greeted by a group of boxes that lit up his eyes with a nearly formed sense of greed before he turned to Yurei and gave him a tight hug that almost broke his bones.
"Good job, Yurei! It's more than I expected"
"Application—" Yurei said in an inaudible voice
"What's? If you want anything just say buddy" Yuki said as she tightened her arms and Yurei inevitably thought 'Is he trying to get rid of the witness, is this what happened?' before he suddenly remembered something and used phantom phasing to get out of Yuki's death embrace.
"You bastard, you almost killed me" Yurei said with a sharp gaze that prompted Yuki to apologize awkwardly when she thought 'I need to control my power better in the future ... This damn ghost really escaped my grip!' "Sorry Yurei it wasn't intentional"
'Yes sure, I would be an idiot if I believed a demon like you' thought Yurei before she nodded at Yuki who turned her attention to the treasure.
"100,000 Gold, the heart of the Dragon King, 3 magic items, 2 rare spell books, and an elixir... THE ELIXIR OF LIFE! Are you serious?"
Yuki's eyes widened in shock as she stared at the potion, "Is this supposed to be one of the surprise items that will be auctioned off?" Yuki's heart kept beating repeatedly while staring at the elixir in his hand because of his ability, the evolutionary path easily ensured that it was the item he needed and he immediately absorbed it and received a notification from the system.
...[.Congratuations. Your abilities Advanced regeneration has evolved into Super Regeneration]...
...[.Super Regeneration: A passive ability that enhances the natural regeneration of the host by a factor of 100 | The cost of stamina or where to supply the energy needed for healing]...
Yuki felt her body filled with life and energy at the same time and she was almost drunk by this overwhelming feeling 'At this point, my own blood might be a treasure.
After enjoying that feeling for a while, he further used his path of evolution ability and absorbed the dragon king's heart. This time he felt an indestructible sensation overwhelm his body and immediately a notification appeared in front of him.
...[.Congratuations. Your Unaffected abilities have evolved into an Immortal stand]...
...[.Immortal stand: A passive ability that gives the host three effects:]...
...[last person standing: Increase host defense by a factor of 10.]...
...[.Unbreakable will: Increases the desire of the host by a factor of 15.]...
...[forced mitigation: Reduce whatever attack power the host receives by 25%]...
'Well, good luck to whoever tried to kill me after this' Yuki thought before yuki laughed out loud.
"HUAHAHA"
'Finally he went crazy.well he's been crazy all this time' Yurei thought while standing in horror without any presence.
-----
Meanwhile, as Yuki swam in excitement, Elmesia and her people swam in despair after hearing about their auction treasury being robbed.
*Destroying*
The sound of a wine cup falling onto the floor echoed, and an enraged Elmesia began to shout at the disaster-class guard who was supposed to be guarding the treasury.
"How could you not see anyone in or out of the treasury with all those items stolen?"
"So, you stole it, that's what you said?" Elmesia said with her beautiful face reddened with anger.
"No, I—" The guard tried to justify himself but Erald interfered in his place and said, "Elmesia, our guard is chosen not only in terms of strength, but in terms of loyalty as well, he said, we have to think about how someone is able to get through all our security measures without us detecting them"
Elmesia held back his anger and quickly ordered, "Investigate who is behind this, and I especially want the dragon king's heart and life potion returned no matter what!"
"Yes Your Majesty" the few elves present before them quickly began their investigation leaving their queen alone with the Archduke Erald while Elmesia was limp on his throne with a helpless expression on his face now that he did not have to keeping his image.and saying, "Uncle, do you think that man Yuki is behind him?"
Erald opened his eyes slightly with a cold look inside as he said, "We can't ignore that possibility... In fact, I think he's the biggest suspect!"
Elmesia nodded at his uncle's words as he felt the same way before he asked doubtfully, "But how could he have planned such an operation before? After all, I hate to say this but this will not happen if I do not take it. The heart of the dragon king, and hence he will have no reason to act.”.
Erald nodded at him and said, "That's why he's still a suspect and we have to look for other clues, we also need to understand why Leon Cromwell values him so much"
Elmesia nodded at him and hoped they would soon find the culprit. What he did not know however was that they would never get those items back even if Yuki did not absorb them. After all, the items entering his spatial ring were a one-way street, and this is especially true for stolen goods.
-------
After leaving her stolen goods premises, Yuki first goes with Yurei to retrieve the gold box she stole from Doran's royal convoy. Then, on his way back to the inn, he accepted his mission which had been completed quickly.
...[.Quest: Biggest slap (completed)]...
...[.Congratulations host, you over-appeared in this quest by slapping the elf empress more than needed and stealing their precious treasures that added insult and additional rewards would be given]...
...[.Receive a Yes/No] gift...
'Yes' thought Yuki and a notification appeared before him
...[.Congratulations host, you received Haki Conqueror + 2 points item upgrade]...
Yuki suddenly stopped on a busy road as she felt something awaken inside her, her deepest desire ignited along with the terrifying darkness she hid deep in her heart at the same time!
His eyes were wide open and huge, shapeless waves came out from his body causing the elves to roam the streets and in the house they fell unconscious one after another within a distance of 200 meters before everything stopped and Yuki was getting regaining control of her emotions and staring at the destruction.she simply stared at him speechlessly.
"It... Haki Conqueror? Should it be this strong?" Yuki muttered before she felt a hand holding her shoulder firmly. It was Yurei who fought hard to not fall unconscious, but she could barely stand up.
'Yurei may have a very strong spiritual defense thanks to her nature as a former ghost and psychic talent but she can barely stand on her two legs ... This is probably thanks to the strengthening of my will from my immortal stand ability.
Satisfied with her new skill and unwilling to pay for the trouble she just caused, Yuki quickly disappeared along with Yurei secretly returning to the inn… But the waves caused by this incident will not disappear for a while because Elmesia was immediately notified.
------
"You're saying this looks like a demon Haki?" elmesia asked one of the guards who was near the area and one of them quietly nodded.
"Good, first the trouble with Leon and my auction house was robbed, and now a terrifying high-ranking demon is somewhere hiding inside my dynasty... Give me a break!!!!" elmesia.
Today was probably the worst day in his 2000 years of life!
"At least no one was hurt" said the guard who tried to improve his mood but Elmesia simply said, "Hmph, I won't thank you for reminding me"
The guard awkwardly nodded at him before he left and continued his investigation while keeping an eye on the trail of the demon that caused the mess.
"Your Majesty, the incident was not far from where Yuki and his group lived" Erald and Elmesia immediately frowned.
"I hope it's not him" said Erald, but in his heart he had already considered it a possibility.
-------
Back at the inn, Shizue was still sleeping soundly, maybe she had not slept like this for a while which made Yuki pity her a little… Then he brought Sacha and Kayle down with Yurei and they ordered food to eat since it was almost night and they had not eaten anything since they left Eldorado.
"This food is delicious" Yurei said as she ate happily and Sacha inevitably looked at her with pity in his eyes while looking at her thin figure.
"Eat your friend until you're full, you deserve it" Yuki said with a warm smile, but Yurei was immediately wary because there was one thing she learned while with Yuki, it was to always be careful when he smiled like that.
Yurei continued to eat her food carefully but Yuki did nothing and just thought ... 'Eat as much as you, my dear Yurei. It's a reward for your hard work Huahahahaha''
While Yuki who was laughing inside her greedy mind, someone suddenly entered the inn and directly approached Yuki. It was Hinata Sakaguchi and she immediately said coldly, "We need to talk"
'This is it again' Yuki thought instantly pouting.
