A month passed.
Someone was ascending and Lith was watching this someone with great interest.
How could he not? His cute, submissive and masochist maid's growth was something he really looked forward to.
It took quite a while for Luna to defeat the Ink Deaths. They were quasi Supreme Rank in strength and she was just an Emperor Rank.
Those four monsters were really annoying. After one died, its energy would be distributed to the rest of the three, powering them up. Like that, defeating the fourth and the last Ink Death took a big toll on Luna, but she eventually did it.
The energy of the Ink Deaths flowed inside her, immediately starting her ascension.
Luna's main affinity lay with Dark, so she benefited greatly from the Ink Deaths.
She was ascending outside the castle because she couldn't make it to the Ascension Hall in time. It was not a problem, however, as the Ascension Hall instead came to her.
