"It's done... A-Are you okay?" Frank asked nervously, placing his hands on her shoulders.
"I'm alright~" Kireina smiled. "I've got very strong vitality!"
Her resilience ca from her incredible body, her cultivation, and her powerful Soul, which could even donate Lifeforce.
"Now..." Frank nodded, turning to his friends. "I'll give you a bit of energy. Let's persevere until we get out of here, everyone! Gift of Life!"
FLAAASH!
The darkness within Frank reversed into brilliant light, healing his companions as his Lifeforce flowed directly into them. This was Frank's famous Healing Spell—a unique ability no one else had ever been able to replicate.
With it, they felt not only fully healed but also restored in stamina and vitality. It was Kireina's vitality, channeled through Frank as a conduit, that shared energy with everyone present.
"And it's done... Sorry if that was a little scary," Frank apologized. "I just discovered a way to reverse my Gift of Life into sothing terrifying... but I won't use it unless absolutely necessary. It's too wicked a power—it could cause a calamity even I couldn't stop."
"Yeah, that power was monstrously strong," Matsuo acknowledged. "I had no idea you could twist such a beautiful ability into one that could drain an entire city of life in seconds. Frank, you hold incredible power—more than I imagined."
"I..." Frank looked ashad, but Harumi and Erika nodded in support.
"Alright, if we're done here, let's finish this!" Erika said. "Hey Frank, once we're done, you're inviting us for ice cream. No wait—Kireina should, she's filthy rich!"
"Sure thing, it'll be on . We can go to the fanciest place you want," Kireina smiled gently at her new friends.
"I want ice cream too..." Ruby gulped.
"Hey, we'll leave after so ti, so don't start asking for things..." Sapphirine whispered to her.
"Alright, let's not waste more ti," Kireina said. "Hurry!"
The group nodded and rushed toward the entrance Mammon had opened. The demon explained the abilities of the mysterious Esper, and after learning what they were up against, they reached the vast corridor stretching toward the Spirit Domain's Heart.
In the distance, a giant crystalline heart was beating steadily, fueling the entire Domain with life. Inside, the Esper opened their eyes once more. Frank and his friends, like Mammon, couldn't tell if the figure was male or female, nor their exact age.
"..."
"So that's the Esper, huh?" Harumi muttered, her Aura surging. "So what's the plan?"
"We push forward with everything we have, then refine the Core together," Kireina explained.
"Refine?" Erika asked. "Wait, I don't know how to do that!"
"What? You plan on killing that person? I don't think they're doing this willingly..." Matsuo said.
"Seriously? They tried to kill !" Mammon complained.
"Yeah, but even then, I don't think they're malicious..." Harumi said. "Look, they're wearing a white hospital coat... Were they inside so kind of scientific facility or hospital before? Do you really think soone like that is evil?"
"Hm, okay, don't gang up on over a small comnt, geez," Erika sighed, quickly transforming into her golden-furred werewolf form. "Alright, let's do this! AWROOOOOO!"
Her howl shook the entire Spiritual Domain. The Esper beca alert, their rainbow-colored eyes narrowing as they extended a small hand forward. A massive shockwave of invisible telekinetic force surged toward them, shaped like a colossal hand.
"Ruby! Amphitrite! Help us out!" Kireina commanded.
"Okay!"
"Sure thing."
The two nodded, their fiery and watery auras surging with imnse spiritual power. They began manifesting the might of their Masters and Vessels—ancient beings who had lived for millions of years.
"Co, Blazing Titan of Fiery Destruction!"
"Assist , Ancient God of the Seas!"
FLUOSH!
Flas erupted from Ruby's crystalline body, forming a giant over fifty ters tall, with blazing muscles, sharp demonic horns, and a massive volcanic hamr.
Water surged from Sapphirine's crystalline body, becoming a swirling maelstrom that shaped itself into an ancient, bearded god of the seas wielding a trident.
It was Surtr and Poseidon themselves, manifesting their Consciousness through their Contracted Supre Spirits.
"Woah! What is that?!" Erika gasped.
"A-Amazing...! So Spirits can summon even stronger Familiars?" Harumi wondered. "Kireina, your summoning skills are incredible."
"Yeah, this is beyond anything I've ever learned...!" Matsuo laughed. "I'm jealous of your magical skills!"
"Haha, well, this is thanks to my bloodline. Your strength is all the more admirable because you attained it without shortcuts," Kireina said sincerely, admiring their growth without reliance on Systems.
They had asked for help because they imdiately sensed the Esper's imnse power. In this Cosmic World, an Esper of this caliber was easily Star Eater Realm.
In fact, it was most likely because the Esper was at Upper to Peak Stage that Mammon had only been able to hold on against them—unable to fight back, let alone defeat them.
"Surtr, Poseidon, help us out."
"Got it!"
"Very well."
The two giants of fire and water charged forward, clashing against the invisible psychic force and pushing with all their might. Ruby and Sapphirine channeled their power through their Consciousness.
At the sa ti, Frank unleashed his vast Cosmic Mana Aura, rging it with his Wrathful Heart Demonic Aura and Archangel Power from his Mark of Humility. It fused further with the Spear containing the Seven Archangel Souls.
The radiant body of Michael, White, manifested behind him, pushing as well, causing the psychic force to ripple and weaken—but not fast enough.
"Let's push, big brother!"
"Fine! But don't slow down!"
Harumi and Mammon surged with their Blood Auras, charging forward and striking the invisible force, twisting and warping it with their combined efforts.
"Matsuo!"
"I know, Erika!"
Erika howled, her golden aura manifesting as a spectral wolf, while Matsuo thrust his palm forward, releasing radiant light composed entirely of divine sunlight from his patron goddess.
Their combined brilliance ford a massive palm, striking the psychic force and generating even more ripples.
Finally, Kireina's sharp red eyes glowed as her Aura surged. Her Unique Martial Arts manifested again—a garden of black, red, and purple flowers blooming around her.
Channeling her Consciousness, Intent, Lifeforce, and Spirit into her fists, her Demonic Armant of Demise erged, wrapping her arms in sharp demonic gauntlets of black, purple, and red.
Kireina's Martial Ascension Realm Aura surged with power equivalent to at least one and a half realms above, fueled by the sheer energy within her—combining Martial Arts with the Arcane Path.
