Manationia sighed as she looked at the people standing in front of her, she was covering them in death aura and somehow recovering the wounds of these standing corpses, despite not being able to easily do that with life magic for some reason.
"You're tricking me I am sure I could revive them!" she said.
"Well try it out…" sighed the spirit.
"Revive!"
FLASH!
"AAAAAAHHH!"
"OOOOHHH!"
"GGEEEHH…"
However, the three Undead groaned in agony and began to burn.
"Oh no…!"
"Yes, oh no. I told you! They're way too dead to be revived. You would need a greater mastery for that, but why do you even feel sorry for assassins? Now they're your lackeys! Expand your shadows and use the Shadow Storage Spell of Dark Magic and store them there! Build up an army of Undead and become the strongest necromancer!" said the spirit.
"Eeeeh?! I don't like where this is going…" she sighed.
"Okay, if you don't like being a necromancer, how about becoming a powerful nature and life druid? That's better?" asked the creature.
"Way better!" said Manationia.
KNOCK, KNOCK!
However, Manationia and her new spirit were startled by the knocks of her door.
"You girl!!! What the heck is going on?! What with the explosions?! Did I heard the windows breaking?!" asked the Innkeeper.
"Gyaaah! T-The Innkeeper!!!" said Manationia.
"I am surprised you're actually more terrified of this man than of the threat you just defeated!" said the spirit.
"I-I am a decent girl! This is why I pay my stuff, I am not a thief or something, nor a swindler… So of course I get terrified by the idea of having to pay! Because I will have to pay!" she said.
"What's the coin you use?" asked the spirit.
"G-Gold…" she said.
"Hmm, think about a big gold ingot with your mind, and put mana into it, earth magic should be able to produce it. Gold is a simple non-magical ore." Said the spirit.
"M-Make gold? Wouldn't that destroy the economy?" she asked.
"Agh! You really like losing time, don't you? Just do it!" said the spirit.
"O-Okay, okay!" sighed Manationia.
She concentrated her mind into the task, as her ridiculous quantities of Mana streamed out of her body, her feathered claws pointed to the ground, and then…
POOF!
Out of nowhere, a large ingot of gold was made.
"Eh? T-This is… gold? Genuine?!" she asked.
"It is! Magic can do literally anything if you're awesome enough." said the spirit.
"Awesome enough? What's with your way of talking? I don't know but you kind of remind me of someone…" said Manationia while squinting her eyes.
"Haha… Must be your imagination, dearie…" sighed the spirit.
KNOCK, KNOCK!
"OI! OPEN THE DOOR!"
"UWAH! W-What do I do?!" cried Manationia.
"Leave the gold and let's escape… through the window! Agh, expand your shadow already!" said the spirit.
"H-How do I do it?" she asked.
"You're a sorcerer, just think about expanding your shadow and putting the undead inside, and it will work." Said the spirit.
"I… Okay, okay…" sighed Manationia.
She suddenly thought about it and…
FLASH!
Her shadows expanded!
She quickly put her new Undead there, and jumped out of the window, jumping away over the next house's rooftop.
BOOM!
The Innkeeper entered the room only to find everything ruined… but a big ingot of gold.
"W-What the heck is this?" he wondered.
Meanwhile, Manationia rushed around the rooftops of the houses, sighing.
Out of nowhere her life had once more turned into some mess…
"Ugh, I wish I could have a more normal life…" she sighed.
"Well, you can't! You're stronger than a Sage and you expect your life to be normal?!" asked the spirit.
"Well that's what I want though!" she sighed.
"More importantly, stop here for now." Said the spirit.
Manationia quickly stopped in place, sitting over the branch of a tree. It was still night and everything was dark, it was rather difficult for anyone to notice her there.
She sighed once more.
"What is it?" she sighed, she looked very tired.
"Well! First of all, I've already analyzed the souls of those guys while we were at that, and I found out that their memories were blurry, they were being controlled by some sort of dark power… And that dark power originated from some group of people from this city's underworld!" said the spirit.
"Eh?! You can discern things so fast?!" asked the girl.
"Yep, no problem. I've found out that there is a weird organization, they tried to kill you because you defeated Blood, that guy from yesterday… He seems to be part of that organization and they lost of cash in the bids that they lost… As everyone thought he would win as always." Said the spirit.
"S-So his thugs came to kill me?" sighed Manationia.
"I wouldn't call them thugs, they have too many expensive items and stuff! Don't you think?" sighed the spirit.
"Y-Yes, ugh, it is still hard to get used to you from now on, but I guess… It is not so bad to have a companion." Sighed Manationia.
"Ah, you're a good girl deep down, aren't you?" sighed the spirit.
"Deep down? I am also nice in the surface!" said Manationia.
"Anyways, as I was saying before, this organization seems pretty shady! I think they might lead us to some pretty dark and juicy secrets, we have to quickly find them out!" said the spirit.
"D-Dark secrets like what? And why would I want to jump into a wolf's den?!" asked Manationia.
"Because you're going to be a sage! And you must protect the innocent from these evil people… Also, you'll become Ervas and Veronica's apostle!" said the spirit.
"A-Apostle?!" asked the girl in shock.
"Yep, do you know what an apostle is, girl?" asked the spirit.
"W-What relationship do you have with those two gods?" asked Manationia.
"Well, I am their child, in a way! I was born out of their magical power which comes from you, a result of their own power bestowed to you in that fruit." Said the spirit.
"U-Unbelievable…" sighed Manationia.
