Once we were ready, Zephy went downstairs to have breakfast, but I stayed on my bedroom for a few more minutes, as I had a few items I needed to get down before anything else. And these were these items:
[Spirit Tree Crystalized Sap (B Grade)] x8
[Earth Spirit Essence Potion (B Grade)] x10
[Mole King's Soul Sphere (B Grade)] x1
[Spirit Tree Crystalized Branch (B Grade)] x4
[Greater Strengthening Elixir (B Grade)] x6
[Greater Skill Proficiency Potion (B Grade)] x6
[Greater Rune Potion (B Grade)] x6
[Divine Strengthening Elixir (A Grade)] x8
[Divine Skill Proficiency Potion (A Grade)] x8
[Divine Grade Rune Potion (A Grade)] x8
[Divine Essence of Blazing Flames (A Grade)] x1
There are some interesting items I've accumulated lately, the Spirit Tree Crystalized Sap and the Branches, what are they even for? Just some random material I got? But Spirit Trees of this quality are incredible. Maybe they're meant for me to do something more with this… Maybe to somehow make them into a potion? Or perhaps to use them on Naturia's next evolution.
And then there's the Mole King Soul Sphere, which has the soul of the Mole King. With this and the Earth Spirit Potions, maybe… I could try them out. I think if I consume them all together, something interesting could happen.
"Alright, ugh, let's chug them down quickly." I nodded.
I quickly began popping open the Earth Spirit Potions, one by one, as I felt a powerful Earth Attribute Spiritual Essence gathering inside of my Soul Scape. And then, I looked at the small little orb… and swallowed it.
What? The description said I could!
As I began to consider my life choices, something happened. The soul of the Mole King gathered into my Soul Scape, fusing together with the large quantities of Earth Spirit Essence and then condensing into the shape of a… tiny and adorable mole, with big black claws and a star-shaped nose, oh my gosh!
[Your Soul Scape has materialized the [Baby Earth Mole Spirit (E Rank)]!]
"Oh my gosh, you're so small!" I cried, as the tiny spirit shaped into a mole appeared in my hands.
"Chuuu! Chuuu!" The Mole panicked a bit upon his birth. It seemed it was probably the Mole King reincarnated… Just like it happened to Ignatius and Beelzebub.
"Hahah, calm down now, everything's alright." I said with a giggle. "You've been reborn as a tiny earth spirit, congrats!"
"Chuuu…" The mole sighed, quickly giving up on escaping, or something.
"Amazing! It seems those items were intended for you to get yourself a new Familiar of the Earth Attribute, which you've lacked." Said Alice. "None of your friends can control earth either that well, so I think it will be a good asset."
"Yeah, I will name you… Err… Chocolate." I said. "Because your fur is like chocolate!"
"Nom!" However, the mole bit my finger! "CHUUU!"
"Ouch! Okay, I guess you don't like it!" I sighed. "T-Then what name can I give to a mole?"
"How about Brownie? It's cute." Alice suggested.
"C-Chuuu…" He didn't seemed as annoyed.
"Brownie it is!" I decided.
"CHUU?!" Brownie panicked, but it was too late.
"Here! I've made a System Seed just for this tiny little guy." Said Alice.
[You've exchanged 1000000 EXP! You've created a System Seed.]
[The System Seed has been fused into the target; a new System Status has been created.]
[The System Status has been connected with the System Main Frame.] I think you should take a look at
[System Owner]: [Brownie]
[Race]: [Baby Earth Mole Spirit]
[Class]: [Young Star-Nosed Mole]
[Skills]: [Digging: Lv1] [Sharp Claws: Lv1] [Soil Manipulation: Lv1] [Sharp Senses: Lv1] [Roll: Lv1]
Oooh, now I can see Brownie's Status. Well, that was quick. He seems to have the most basic Skills a tiny baby spirit like him should have, and he comes at E Rank, so I guess I'll be raising him for now without exposing him to any battle for the moment.
His stats compared to everyone else are… very low, he's the weakest Familiar I have at the moment, even Violet and Glutton were strong from the start, but that's because their base bodies were already high quality items, I suppose.
"Welcome to the team!" Said Alice.
"Yeah, little guy. I am your senior by the way! Call me Ignatius, THE RED!" Said Ignatius.
"Chuu? Chuu!" However, Brownie ignored him and glanced elsewhere.
"O-Oi you bastard!" Ignatius cried.
"Hahaha! He ignored you." Beelzebub mocked him. "Oi mole, if you want to know what's good, you better stay with me. You can become my lackey and in the future you could even become one of my first Demon Servants! Just be loyal to be and give me your desserts every day."
"Chuu?!" The mole seemed shocked, and then began to droll, opening his little jaws and trying to bite off a piece from Beelzebub. "Nom! Nom!"
"Uaagh! W-What are you doing?! You can't eat me!" Beelzebub cried.
"Hahaha, well, Moles do eat insects." Laughed Furoh. "Welcome to the team, little guy. Were you back then?" Furoh suddenly transformed into the Mole King form.
The little Brownie reacted with shock.
"C-CHUUU?! CHUUU!" He began pointing it was indeed him.
I guess he really remembers and is quite smart.
"You're smarter than back then, you just fell off a single blow." Said Curse. "Were you under a curse? I could sense something."
"C-Chuuu…" Brownie nodded. "Chuu, chuu, chuuu!" It began making little noises again.
Furoh, having turned into a mole, somehow could understand his mole language to an extent.
"He's… saying there was something that infected him, some sort of liquid darkness, and a phantom of sorts. A voice saying: "Destroy Agartha at all costs"…" Furoh said.
"Huh…" I began rubbing my chin.
"Maybe the baddies?" Wondered Naturia behind me.
"Perhaps Arachne herself set this whole thing up and maybe more monsters cursed with this berserk-like state might appear in the future." I sighed. "This is slowly getting worse, I should tell mom and dad later."
