Chapter 127 - Ais: Will Riveria Hate Me?

Thump, thump, thump—

"Come in, the door isn't locked."

As Luke was refining the extra Prana in his body, a knock came at the door.

Bang—

The moment Ais heard Luke's voice from inside the room, she violently pushed the door open.

Patter, patter, patter—

Plop—

Ais, who had run to the bed, threw herself into Luke's arms with a flying leap.

Luke, sitting on the bed, silently sighed as he looked at Ais, who said nothing in his arms.

He formed a hand sign and used the condensed threads of Prana to close the room's door.

Then, he gently patted Ais's head and softly said to her:

"You'll make Riveria worried."

"Maybe right now, she's hiding alone in her room, secretly crying because our little Ais is ignoring her."

Perhaps Luke's embrace provided Ais with some comfort, or perhaps his words had some effect.

Ais buried her head in Luke's chest, seemingly not wanting him to see her face at that moment.

Then, she began to speak with complex emotions:

"That monster... is... is..."

After pausing several times, Ais still couldn't bring herself to say the race of that monster.

"That monster, indeed, is a spirit," Luke spoke for Ais.

But Ais strongly opposed this.

"Impossible! That monster cannot be a spirit! How could that filthy monster be a spirit!"

"How could a spirit be like that..."

"My mother is not a monster, and I am not a monster either..."

Ais's voice grew softer, and Luke could already hear the faint sound of crying.

"Will I also become like that in the future?"

The appearance of the Demi Spirit had a huge impact on Ais's perception of spirits.

Spirits are said to be the race the Gods loved the most and are even called part god.

They are strong magic users and can even use magic better than most elves.

Their legends circulate among many humans and demi-humans in the mortal world.

But one thing is for sure: Spirits are the race closest to the gods.

This sacred and mysterious race seemed impossible to be associated with something like monsters.

But now, a monster in the form of a spirit appeared.

This fact fundamentally shattered Ais's worldview.

With spirit blood flowing through her veins, as a half-spirit, the moment Ais saw the Demi Spirit, a thought circled in her mind.

'The blood flowing in my body, could it be the same as that filthy being?'

Spirits, along with elves, are renowned magical races whose potential far exceeds that of others.

They can ignite catastrophic fires, summon storms, create lakes in forests, and refine gold and silver gems.

A portion of Spirits' powers bears a strong resemblance to those of the gods.
