Maria's Evolution Requirements

(Maria's POV)
Everything finally ended, even though we had yet to even resolve the primary problem of that city. To think we would be trapped and cornered to this extent… The Warlocks of the Underworld were truly a force to be reckoned with.
However, we perseverated and won at the end, even despite all the battles and the desperation. My dear daughter did her best too, fighting to protect everyone, and even Celes seemed to have grown much stronger from this challenge, and so did his mother.
Although I would have preferred to let them level up in a safer environment, there's little safety in a place like this, there was no helping it, I suppose.
Everyone else quickly gathered at our side as Belphegor finally kicked the bucket. His gigantic body was beginning to slowly dissolve into miasma, so I quickly decided to store him inside of my Inventory so he wouldn't contaminate the desert.
