Yuki and her friend took a few days before reaching their destination. It was a large door placed inside a larger tree.
"Woah, this entrance is huge" Sacha said in amazement and Yuki couldn't help but agree with him and said "We're finally here, hopefully things will go smoothly ... Kayle, make sure to protect Sacha in case something happens"
"Yes sir" Kayle said as she stroked the bracelet Yuki gave her... It was a magic item he had stolen from one of Elmesia's guards and actually had the ability to conjure ice walls, and had other attack features... This is a gift from Yuki for him.
"Let's go" Yuki said as he approached the large gate and started pushing it slowly and a dimly lit large hallway with curved stone pillars appeared in front of their sight.
"This is the spirit's residence?" kayle asked with a frown on her face, and Yuki had an annoyed expression on her face as she walked in.
'Something is trying to influence my perception ...' Thought Yuki as she started walking forward on the seemingly endless road.
"Yuki-sama, this place is a bit scary ..." Sacha said while inching closer to Yuki. while yuki who had been persecuted for her appearance during the ghost period, couldn't help but take it personally and said, "Well, Sacha-chan don't be afraid… this place could be just a quiet and serene” place
Sacha and Kayle looked at Yuki with a strange look thinking that she was crazy and not long after, the giggling sounds of some women echoed around them, except for Yuki who said with a satisfied expression on her face, "Look, they giggled at your stupid comments"
'There must be something wrong with her brain' Kayle thought as she looked at Yuki's satisfied smile and prepared to use the bracelet at any time.
"Oh, what an interesting human being"
"Indeed, he's not afraid, you should be afraid of humans"
"Why should I? who is afraid of the cute subtle creatures" Yuki said with a smile and the subtle creatures instantly started giggling again.
'You won't laugh long after he cheats you, ' Kayle thought as she scanned her surroundings ...
"Man, I like you"
"Yes, me too!"
"You're right, we're cute" replied the spirits one after another.
"Can you call Ramiris, I actually have a gift for him" said Yuki and the spirits immediately began muttering amongst themselves until a certain spirit said.
"Fufufu, human, if you want to meet a great demon lord, you must pass my exam first"
Yuki instantly cut him "No meeting, no reward"
"Ehhh human is fine, give me a gift and do a test in your spare time" Ramiris said in a hasty voice this time, but Yuki replied with determination "How could I give the honor of giving a gift to such a great demon? with my own hands! No, I will pass the exam first and prove that I am worthy. Oh and if the exam is too difficult, I will probably use that gift to defend myself and it might get damaged… Just a friendly reminder" Yuki said with a demonic smile on her face and Ramiris' voice immediately echoed, and this time was faster than before.
"AAHHH NOOO MY GIFT, Who cares about that stupid test, you can meet me in person!" Then a small yellow ball of light instantly appeared in front of Yuki and he easily caught it from his wings like an insect before he clumsily smashed into his face and finally landed on his nose.
"Hi great adventurer, can you let me go" Ramiris said nervously. She has blonde hair done in pigtails and has yellow eyes.
"Ah sorry about that, I don't want you to hurt yourself" Yuki said with a smile before Sacha directly rushed in front of Ramiris and said with shining eyes "How cute"
Ramiris felt a little embarrassed by Sacha's praise and facial expression before she raised her chest high and said with a laugh, "Fufufu, of course I'm cute, I'm the spirit queen and the third demon king!"
"Aaaa, so you know Leon-sama?" ask Sacha curiously.
"Oh, you know Leon-chan?" Ramiris asks back in surprise and Yuki says reluctantly "Yes it's a long story" and then she starts telling me about being summoned by Leon and her encounter with Milim as Ramiris continues to say "I understand I understand" before yuki suddenly recalled the reason she made herself look in the first place and said with watery eyes.
"You said you gave me a gift! Where's that where's that?"
"Oh right, here it is" Yuki said before she gave the random magic necklace she stole from one of Elmesia's guards and said, "I have to pay a lot for this necklace, I have to, this is a rare work of art in the world and a miracle.the item at the same time, you must stay safe at all times!"
Yuki is the type of person who will give someone a gift along with his price tag.
"Woah, amazing ..." Ramiris.
'poor girl' Sacha thought while glaring at Yuki as spirits floated around them ...
"By the way Ramiris, can you help me with something?"
"What's that?" he asked in a daze without taking his eyes off the beautiful but extremely useless necklace.
"I don't mind, but another elemental might reject it" Ramiris said as he thought before he asked curiously, "Why do you need it?"
"Ah, you see Ramiris, my brother is a Majin, and he suffers from a terrible and rare elemental disease that causes him to fall into a rage due to an imbalance in his magic as well as the spirits that inhabit him from being injured. from a fatal attack by an evil demon as he saves three children and a donkey.”.
Yuki instantly activated his no Jutsu crap and he could see as Ramiris at first nodded in understanding and pity before his gaze started to fog and immediately steam started coming out of his ears when his head was completely overdone load.
"And this is why I need the elemental essence"
Upon realizing that Yuki was done, Ramiris pretended to understand and replied, "Once you have, your poor brother must have suffered greatly, don't worry, the spirit queen will help you save his life!"
"Good, I won't forget this favor!"
Meanwhile, the mouths of Kayle and Sacha almost pierced the ground and reached the bottomless pit if this world had them.
"follow me" ramiris said and the ground made of stone beneath them suddenly turned into a path made of flowing light which was a beautiful sight to behold and he carried them deeper to the labyrinth until they reached a huge mountain made of what looked like a huge magic core and it was emanating with a huge amount of magic.
However, the mountain did not trigger the path of Yuki's evolutionary abilities, but rather something within it that was invisible to them.
"Oh, this place is full of spirits" Yuki said as she sensed countless spirits through her magic senses.
"Your mother, this is the spirit residence, and here as long as you have the desire and the spirit likes you, you can summon even greater spirits"
"Mmmm Not bad" Yuki murmured as she rubbed her chin and thought whether she should wait for Rimuru to come here or better try summoning a spirit now.
"How do I take the essence of the element?" Yuki asked but suddenly, a spirit of light appeared in front of them and said to Ramiris mockingly, "Oy evil spirit, you actually fell so far from grace and actually dared to exchange our elemental essence for a cheap magic item"
It is the light element that can bless heroes with divine protection and its status is second only to Ramiris himself!
"A very cheap gift, this is a rare necklace that is also a magical item!" ramiris said while grunting.
"That's right, nosy boy, plus his important intentions, you think Ramiris is a materialistic bastard like you? Not to mention, when was the last time you gave her a gift before you came and judged mine!" Said Yuki who always had a response to everything.
"Ehhh, right, when was the last time you gave me a gift? Was that 2000 years ago? Or maybe more?" ramiris said as she approached him with a threatening look
"Ahum okay calm Ramiris, you must not hold a grudge for something as trivial as this—" said the light element and Ramiris continued to argue with him endlessly until Yuki interrupted this childish creature.
"Well, is there any way to get you to agree to give me the essence of the element .. I actually need only a small part of it"
"Well, this isn't the first time we've given someone that piece, demon lord Leon took it not too long ago" answer the light element that instantly made the smile on Yuki's face twitch a few times.
"Oh Leon-chan has one huh? good to know" you'll regret lying to me Leon, Yuki thought as she recalled how Leon pretended not to have the essence element, and the evil aura around his body made all the spirits run away from him including Ramiris and his servant.
"So what's the condition?" asked Yuki and the light element directly said, "We require you not to use the spirit you summoned with the essence of the element for evil and to not hurt the spirit you summoned, and you have to sign soul contract for us to make sure about this—"
"Wait wait buddy, as I said, once I kill the evil pirate king, I won't have the essence to begin with" said Yuki and Kayle couldn't help but think 'Aren't you trying to save your sick brother? '
"So, then you don't need to sign any contracts and you just have to promise that you will become a friend of the spirits in the future" Said the light element and Yuki happily nodded in agreement as she had no intention of becoming their enemy in the first place, as long as they did not have something she wanted.
"This is it" the light element said as he placed his hand onto the large mountain and picked up the colorful little ball that immediately triggered Yuki's path of evolutionary ability.
"Absorb" Yuki said and immediately the ball was absorbed into his body and a colorful light immediately covered his entire skin as well as his insides as a notification appeared in front of him.

"Well, I'm officially a walking tank now" Yuki muttered with a happy smile.
