[151] Demi-Spirit!

"What is this exactly?"

Lefiya, seeing the monster in front of her, covered her mouth in disbelief.

Because in front of everyone, besides these corpses, there were also numerous insects and man-eating flower monsters.

Not only that, behind all of this, there was an enormous and incomprehensible monster.

It had a plant-like lower body, but the upper body was constantly consuming.

Moreover, the surrounding insects, as if worshiping, faced this humanoid flower monster. One by one, the insects approached, had magic stones pulled out directly, and were then devoured by it.

Finn immediately understood. These new monsters that suddenly appeared were probably created by this humanoid flower monster to help her collect magical energy.

And August also stared at the impure spirit elf in front. In this place, there was an aura of impure magic filling the air.

The former spirit had fallen to such an extent, it was truly pitiful and lamentable.

Because of August's influence, the plot had already deviated, and many things were not in line with the original work, and most people were unaware of the information.

As Ais looked at the corrupted spirit in front, for some reason, she had a feeling of 'pain' and 'misery.'

"Are all these its food?"

Gareth looked around at the 'mountain of corpses' and said slowly. So many corpses were truly shocking.

"Hmm?"

Suddenly, the corrupted spirit stopped moving, and its feeding behavior came to a halt.

In an instant, its gaze fell on the people, precisely on Ais in the crowd.

"Ah~"

The next second, a deafening roar erupted, and the entire 59th floor underwent a drastic transformation.

The once clear sky changed in an instant, and the entire floor became dim.

The corrupted spirit also began a tremendous change. Its original body continuously separated from the wreckage, and then the upper half of a woman appeared in front of everyone.

"Spirit?"

Ais subconsciously uttered these words.

"Huh? Is this the legendary Spirit?"

"Is it for real?"

"Are you kidding me?"

All of a sudden, everyone was shocked. Spirit were a mythic race in Orario, long disappeared and gone. How could they appear in the dungeons, and moreover, turned into monsters?

"Aaaaaaaaaah~"

The deafening sound made everyone feel painful. Even covering their ears was of no use.

August observed the scene, squinting his eyes. It wasn't merely a roar, it was a form of spiritual contamination, using his mental power to oppress and infect others' minds.

Boom~

His Conqueror's Haki erupted, and a powerful mental pressure followed suit. In the blink of an eye, the entire 59th floor turned into a battlefield. The corrupted spirit's dark purple spiritual contamination and August's pitch-black Conqueror's Haki directly divided the 59th floor in half, creating a delicate balance.

"Good, so powerful~"

Everyone looked at August in shock, he was truly formidable.

After a moment, August and the corruped spirit both stopped. This also brought August into the sight of the corruped spirit.

"August, this creature gives me the same feeling as the one with the bead on the 18th floor."

"I know."

"You know?"

"Yes, but I didn't tell you to avoid causing you too much worry."

"Why?"

"Because-"

Before August could explain, the corruped spirit in the distance suddenly spoke.

"Aria~! Aria~! Aria~!"

This name made Ais feel trance-like. Finn, Riveria, and Gareth also had their pupils shrink.

This name was Ais's mother's name, and very few people in the world knew it.

Ais instantly understood why August had not told her everything.

"Aria, join us, become one with us, let me devour you!"

The corruped spirit was incredibly eager for Ais's spirit bloodline.

In an instant, all the surrounding insects and man-eating flowers moved towards them, especially the man-eating flowers whose vines attacked from all directions.

August disdainfully smiled at the sight. Shadows transformed into blades, instantly shredding everything within a ten-meter radius.

"August."

Ais lifted her head, staring at August firmly.

"I will take care of her, I promise."

"Okay."

Ais nodded without saying more. It was the promise August made.

"Tsubaki, watch over Ais. She's not in a good condition right now. I'll go deal with that thing."

"Leave it to me."

Saying that, Tsubaki supported Ais. As for the others, at this moment, no one spoke, they all silently watched August.

Swish~

August lifted his head, and the next moment, a black mark appeared on his forehead. August entered the Demonization.

August, filled with darkness, once again shocked Finn and the others who had witnessed him controlling ice just a while ago. Little did they dream that August had other powers.

At the same time, at an altar in Orario, a black-robed sage held a crystal ball displaying the scene of Loki Familia on the 59th floor.

"As expected, it's really him."

"Do you know, Ouranos?"

"Yes, during the ancient era when the gods had not descended to the mortal realm, a race favored by the gods was sent to save humanity. Spirits, a race called a part god."

"Is this also a Spirit, or a monster that gained the power of a Spirit?"

"I'm afraid it was meant to expel monsters but was ultimately consumed by them. Although it retains a hint of consciousness, it has become a creature that only knows devouring."

"It's truly ironic. The Spirit that once saved humanity has turned into a monster that brings destruction to humans."

Ouranos did not respond but closed his eyes. He also felt sadness for such a situation.

Appearing in the dungeon meant she was there to protect humans, so she entered the dungeon. Clearly, it was to guard humanity, but in the end, it led to this state, which was truly tragic.

"However, it's truly unbelievable. Even if it's said to be devoured, turning into a creature that only knows devouring and slaughter, yet retaining consciousness, it's quite formidable. Indeed, it's worthy of being called a part god."

"This is not her true body, only a clone."

"A clone?"

"Yes, her true body is still in the deeper parts of the dungeon."

"A while ago, monsters appeared during the monster feast, on the 18th floor, and the 24th floor. Also, that strange bead. Bers is now dead, and all leads are cut off."

"If I'm not mistaken, she wants to return to the surface."

"Return to the surface?"

"Yes~ The last obsession before death, returning home~"
