"Hm? What is going on- UWAAAH?!" Emeraldine instantly noticed her big, butterfly-like golden and green colored wings. "W-What is this?! W-Wings?! I am a bug now?!"
"Hahaha, no, dummy, you're not a bug." I laughed a bit. "You've just evolved, didn't you realize?"
"E-Eh? Huh?" Emeraldine quickly looked at her own status, most likely. "T-That's right, I evolved… I am S Rank! I must have earned enough EXP in the hunts I participated in… And all the EXP I got from creating so many potions through alchemy."
"Well done then!" I congratulated her, giving her a head pat. "How do you feel?"
"Rather well, I feel- Ah, my scars…" Emeraldine looked at her own body, there were no longer any scars in them. "They're all gone, completely… It feels- Ah, it feels as if my entire body was purified, everything…"
"I'm glad that you feel better." I nodded. "How about we have some breakfast while you try out your new magic?"
"Sure then!" Emeraldine agreed, trying to fly, however, she was clumsy and ended hitting the ceiling. "Ouch! Ahh… Flying is not that easy…"
"Well you can just float with magic anyways, right?" I wondered.
"B-But I have these wings now… I might as well use them properly, right?" Emeraldine said. "Anyways, let's go have something to eat then."
As we walked downstairs, we noticed a bunch of people gathering around a gigantic tree outside. Nyx and the twins were there as well.
"What's happening in here?" I wondered. "Where did this… huge ass tree came from?!"
"Mama! You're awake!" Said Nyx, flying to my arms. "Big tree friend!"
"It is Root, I think." Said Emeraldine in shock.
Suddenly, the gigantic tree, which easily surpassed around fifty meters of height, twisted its entire body and suddenly revealed to us its face, two big holes on the bark, and a long nose made out of a branch, with a tiny leaf on the tip.
It had a big, sharp mouth, smiling dumbly. Yep, it was without a doubt Root! He had also managed to finally evolve too.
"Gyuuuuuhhh! Master! I've become bigger… And stronger!" He roared while laughing.
His Aura was akin to almost divine, and his body kept expanding underground into many roots spread across our territory. His size could probably increase in height even more, but he weas keeping himself "small" so he could still walk around, most likely.
"R-Root?! It is really you?! Oh wow, I didn't expected you to become so freaking huge!" I was shocked.
"I have evolved… I am now S Rank!" He celebrated.
"W-Weren't you B+ Rank before though?" I wondered.
"Gyuh, right!" Root said, suddenly thinking. "Something happened, now I'm S Rank!"
I guess he didn't had any clue, but I might figure out something by checking his Status, but it is rather suspicious how his evolution was at the same time as Emeraldine's evolution, maybe it means something…

[Keep reading on NovelHub - where stories come alive! Maybe? I am not really sure, but that thing blessed two of my allies, so I am beginning to imagine it might have some sort of agenda with us in this favor.
"Looks like it was Yggdrasil's doing, somehow the tree has decided to give their divine protection to Root and Emeraldine." I said while analyzing. "But why? Why would the tree ever want to do that? I thought we were a nuisance?"
"Perhaps the tree has another different opinion about us than the gods have." Lucifer said. "I am already stepping into mere speculations, but I believe it might be trying to say something through that…"
"Ah!" Suddenly, Emeraldine's crest began glowing with a bright, golden light.
A green aura emerged from behind her, resembling a gigantic tree made of spiritual light stretching into the skies, the same happened with Root!
"Hear my call, child of death." Suddenly, a voice we had not heard before at all echoed from Emeraldine's mouth, as if something else was possessing her. "My favor and help does not come without a price."
"So it was really you…" I sighed. "Yggdrasil."
