With the object secured, Pyris now had ti to look at the system notifications from earlier.
[Ding! Mission Completed... Mission(s)!
1. Survive the Mist of Fulfillnt! Rewards: Full control over the Eternal's Seal.
2. Save Nysa from the binds of the Fulfillnt Formation. Rewards: Full loyalty of Lady Nysa. Map to the Blood Chalice from Lady Nysa.]
Describing rewards...
[Ding! Host can now use the Eternal's Seal without relying on LPs...
New update: Host can now use both his mana and LPs at once to increase the chances of enslaving a being more powerful than him.
New update 2: The Host's reach with the Eternal's Seal has surpassed the intended limit set by Fate for his current level.
Ding! Host's aura can't be suppressed by the ???'s Ring. Host might attract new threats— opportunities too—beyond his level.
New Update 3: Host's energy and aura have been hidden from gods by the next layer of the ring.
Note: The second layer can only hide the host from gods!]
"What the fck!" Pyris exclaid. These were not rewards; these were fcking curses!
But he quickly suppressed himself, taking a deep breath to calm down. At least...
"At least I can smile at the fact that the Seal is no longer limited and I can even put it on those powerful beings..." He could feel another change too. It seed like the Seal had gotten an upgrade. "No, it's having fully embraced the Seal. Now I can feel Soltan even at this distance. And that's not all..."
He looked at Alera, and the green sigils of the Seal appeared around her, only seen by him. They were ancient as usual, glowing with grace but with power—omnious—ominously divine!
This was a signal that he could enslave her if he wished. He looked at Zara, and this ti the sigils wrapped around her were white, the sa with Lady Nysa.
For Lyra and Seren, it was the sa green as with Alera. "I can put a Seal on them with just relying on my mana, with no effort. Zara and Lady Nysa, it will be a bit difficult and will take a toll on , but I can do it too with mana alone too!" It was as if the information was in his mind to start with.
He smiled. This was a new breakthrough. He looked at another reward...
Well, about that, he could only get them after Lady Nysa woke up—her loyalty and the map.
Getting the map would save them from mindless wandering.
Although Lia was guiding him to the treasures if she felt one, there was no telling which treasure she was sensing. Provided he couldn't refuse free treasures, getting the Blood Chalice faster was essential to him.
And Lia... She wasn't responding anymore either.
So, Lady Nysa's guidance and the map would be more welcod.
"Hey Lia, are you there?" Pyris called out again, but there was no response at all, so he left it at that. Instead, he went back to the cohort where Alera and others were.
"How's everyone?" he asked, but Alera had little to say about that. There was no change at all in the three, but at least Lady Nysa was showing changes. Color was starting to return to her lips, and her body was pulling mana around her to regenerate.
Even up to now, Pyris couldn't tell which race she belonged to, and worse, the system wasn't bringing any information to him.
He could only wait for her to wake up. Pyris hoped she wouldn't be hostile, as he would be forced to put a Seal on her. Yet a part of him wished she would turn hostile—that would give him a reason to put a Seal on her, ultimately making her his to command and...
Pyris shook his head to remove the dangerous thoughts. "Better be careful with the Seal; it's tempting!" But much as he wanted to deny it, there was truth in this temptation. He wanted to make Lady Nysa completely bound to him, hoping he would do that with both's consent.
"Please don't force my hand," he mumbled to himself. He hoped for the better.

Outside in a certain unknown location.
Zaryana sat on a throne with her legs folded in the chair, her chin rested on her knees in lazy abandon, watching Pyris's every action.
"Eternal's Echo, huh?" she mused, her eyes lighting up with her usual interest in him. "I was right about you, Pyris, I was really right. To think you would even have the Eternal's Seal! As if the Essence Devouring wasn't enough. Now what will be next? Lust Copy?" she wondered, ntioning Pyris's skills and abilities as if they were written on the back of her hand.
What she didn't know, though, was that Pyris already had the Lust Copy ability.
"I hope you don't awaken it too soon. Even the ring will only be able to pick up the pieces! Luckily, even if you were to awaken Lust Copy in the next twenty years or so, it won't fully awaken right away to it's full potential. That way, the second and third layers will keep you hidden!"
From her voice, it seed she feared the power of Lust Copy more than that of the Eternal's Seal and Essence Devouring. Even the Elental Sovereign's Aura seed to fade in comparison.
"Ah... What a troubleso youngster! I will have to keep an eye on you—to guide you..." She closed her eyes briefly but then snapped them open again. She didn't want to miss even a second of his adventure.
"Well he's so interesting, isn't he?
"Wait? Am I this bored, or is he just irresistible... I an, interesting?" She smiled. "Let's hope the coming challenges won't break you. Hopefully, they co after you're done with your little gas with that stupid mortal Silas and his master. Tsk, Ancient Vampire my ass. You can't even comprehend a few thousand secret of your Blood Truth to beco a stupid fully-fledged immortal. Or beco a god like these useless gods, and you call yourselves an Ancient Vampire—the audacity, Vorath!"
Feeling like wasting her breath on Vorath was useless, Zaryana turned her full attention to the Lust Dragon and his cohort.
He—he was more interesting than anything. She would never get tired of him.
"I'm craving a few conquests, Pyris. Add more won, let's see... un, that Zara, Mira, or, well, Astrid and your mother are interesting won too, hehehe. I can wait for Seraphina and Astrid with him at worst, Ah~ the thrill of Emberly and Astrid taking care of your big boy down there is even more thrilling~ But that arrogant bitch Nysa will give more joy. I can't stand her face." She giggled, punching the air in delight and anticipation.
Rumble!!!!
Beyond, in the distance that not even a god could see, the heavens rumbled when Zaryana punched the air by mistake.
"Oops!"
