What happened earlier...
-----(Raven’s POV)-----
As soon as I saw the giant pillar of lightning falling directly at , I took out three interdiate potions and gulped them down imdiately. I bought those potions from the [System Shop] before going inside this dungeon.
Then I raised my right hand—
"[Devour]!"
I shouted with all of my might. I know that shouting will not help, but I still did so to lessen my nervousness and out of desperation.
FWOOSH—!
The black vortex that ca out of my ring imdiately made contact with the enormous lightning.
"URGUAAHH!!!"
And when it started swallowing the lightning—I felt like my whole body was getting crushed again and again!
It felt like I was being electrocuted and burned alive continuously!
"GRRRRAAAH!!!!!!"
I scread to ignore so of the pain that I was feeling.
CRACK- CRACK—!
My feet are being pressed on the ground because of the strong force downing on . I’m slowly being planted in the land below !
I circulated and distributed the mana that I was currently receiving equally and carefully to my whole body.
Ti feels very slow to ... It feels like it’s been more than a minute of trying to block this pillar of lightning, but it’s probably only been seconds in reality.
My knees are bending down, slowly.
"GUURGH...!!!"
But just then, beside my black vortex, another vortex appeared—and it’s white!
FWOOSH~
-KYUUU!!!
Then I heard a tweeting on my shoulder. I know it’s Yuki, but I can’t look at her right now.
’CO BACK IN THE RING AFTER A WHILE!’
I exclaid inwardly. Yuki is currently connected to my thoughts, so she probably received my ssage.
-Kyu...
A weak tweet was heard as a reply from her. She wants to stay with , but I know she’s gonna obey my command, so I didn’t mind it that long.
’At least save Yuki...!’
I thought to myself as my knees got so of their strength back.
And just as I commanded, Yuki ca back in the ring after her mana capacity was filled to the max.
’Thanks, Yuki.’
I muttered in my head and covered my whole body with [Celestria]. I didn’t leave any hole.
I can’t even breathe inside, but it’s fine. It’s just gonna be for a few seconds.
And after covering myself with the artifact—
SWAAAAHHH~!!!
A dense amount of mana erupted from my body. It’s raging like crazy!
It’s like I’m inside a fireball—but black because of my mana’s color.
’SHIELD!’
I exclaid internally as I imagined a shield. I focused even though I felt like dying, utilizing a lot of mana too at the sa ti.
"UGH...!"
Blood ca out from my nose and mouth. I’m not sure, but it looks like from my ears too.
And it didn’t take long till tears made of blood dripped from my eyes as well!
But nevertheless, I just smiled.
The raging mana from cald down. The mana beca hard and solid that it can block magic and physical attacks... Like a shield.
I produced a mana shield! The sa Ruby used in our duel a few days ago!
’I failed earlier in creating one. Glad that I succeeded this ti!’
I know this shield will shatter easily, but my plan is to lessen the damage I’ll receive as much as possible.
Now with [Celestria] and the mana shield, it’s like I’m wearing two layers of non-tal armors!
And with that—when my mana capacity couldn’t handle the mana absorption from the enormous pillar of lightning anymore...
Fwip-
...The vortex disappeared. I deactivated the skill of the ring.
And the magic pillar of lightning made contact with .
B Z O O O O O O M–!!!
"GRAAAARRRRGHHHH!"
I scread in pain. I want to die instead of feeling this shit!
It’s like I’m being ripped to shreds part by part, then again!
A radiating pain of being burned alive coursed through my whole body. It’s the most painful feeling I’ve felt in my entire life, my past life included!
My consciousness is getting weaker.
I want to just pass away, and maybe I might not feel any more pain.
I started to question why I’m even here. I’m just a small-ti novel author...
"GRRGH...!"
But tightly clenching my hands into a fist, and gnashing my teeth together...
"FUCK YOU TRANSCEND SHITS!!!"
I shouted that.
’I DON’T WANT TO DIE!’
I thought.
’NO! I WON’T DIE!’
I want to co back to Lunar. I want to be comforted by Keara. I want to exchange teases with Ruby.
’I WANT TO BE STRONGER!!!’
I exclaid in my head.
Then when I thought of that—just like my last fight with Velcro, the world seed to slow down.
Bright light engulfed my body.
I felt a sudden surge of energy rushing through my whole body.
So of my wounds and burns got healed.
Then I briefly saw a notification from the system.
[You are now rank.]
...
...
*****
(Back to the present.)
Everyone was silent and no words were produced throughout the area.
Raven’s words lingered in their minds.
’I DID NOT FALL!!!’
It sent goosebumps to their bodies.
"Huh?"
Then everyone in the adow heard Alina’s weak but shocked noise.
Clifford and the others’ heads snapped in her direction.
Even the spirit and so intelligent creatures looked at Alina too.
"That boy..."
She pointed at Raven.
"He’s unconscious."
Then she muttered in disbelief.
Everyone who heard and understood her had their eyes widened.
Raven’s eyes are just all white now, but he’s still smiling and standing. He’s not even swaying a bit.
He’s just standing still, and he’s emitting the presence of soone unbreakable!
Everyone felt awe as they looked at him.
’He didn’t fall even though he’s unconscious...’
They all thought in unison, rembering Raven’s last words before losing consciousness.
-Ah... HAHAHAHAHA!
It was then that the silence was truly destroyed. It was because the spirit laughed out loud.
-Not falling until the end, AHAHAHA!
All of the gazes went to the spirit.
-You’re funny!
It said.
-YOU’RE INTERESTING!
The spirit’s eyes were literally shining and its tone sounded so happy and bright.
Fwish—
The spirit then flew toward Raven.
Oscar was about to follow and stop it... But Clifford stopped him.
"Sir Clifford!"
Oscar exclaid.
Clifford looked at Raven and the spirit for a brief mont, then he shook his head.
"It’s fine."
He stated.
And at his words, the others decided to just watch the situation, anxiously.
They were ready to move any mont now.
Then when the spirit arrived in front of Raven...
SWOOSH~
Its body glowed, and its figure slowly beca bigger.
The spirit transford!
"WHA—!?"
The mbers of [Coldvale] gasped and showed surprise on their faces.
Oscar and Clifford were making stupid faces, looking at the spirit.
Milk-like white and soft skin, sky-blue colored eyes and hair, its hair was shiny and waist-long. It had a petite and sexy figure, with the right curves in the right places.
Reddish lips and a pointed nose—the spirit looked stunning!
The spirit transford into a beautiful woman!
She was as tall as Raven. The spirit then looked at him, her crystal-like blue eyes focused solely on him.
She was looking at Raven with twinkling eyes.
And moving forward a little, the spirit held his face gently.
"I want you."
After transforming into her human form, the spirit’s voice beca more feminine. Her voice sounded so sweet and holy!
Then after speaking, the spirit bit her lips, and blood dripped from them.
"I will make you my servant."
The spirit added, and following that...
Chu—
She kissed Raven on the lips...! She gave him a deep and passionate kiss!
"Ah..."
"WHA!"
So mbers of [Coldvale] let out stupid, envious noises, while others gasped and looked at the scene, blushing.
Clifford and Oscar were opening and closing their mouths repeatedly, but no words ca out.
And after a while, the back of Raven’s right hand started emitting bluish-white light. Then a lightning crest appeared on it!
So burns on his body started to heal too!
"...Urgh... Hm?"
And because of that... Raven’s consciousness returned.
Then he saw a woman kissing him.
"...?!"
His eyes widened, and he pushed her away.
"What the fuck?"
Raven asked with a frown.
Then he saw a bluish-white lightning crest on his right hand. It was glowing.
"What’s this?"
He asked in a weak and confused voice.
"It’s our contract. I’ll be your new master!"
The spirit exclaid.
Raven looked at her.
"Who are you?"
He asked, annoyance clear in his voice.
Not that the spirit noticed. And proudly...
"I’m the elental spirit you were fighting earlier!"
Her eyes squinted as she smiled.
"I’m Levina."
...The spirit introduced herself, letting out an elegant and majestic presence.
Not that Raven cared about those—as he just looked at her status instead.

Raven’s eyes widened as he saw Levina’s stats.
"...And I’ll be your master."
Then she continued.
Raven frowned at her last words.
But then... Sothing suddenly appeared in front of him!
Fwish~
=====
[A contract is being ford involving you, with you as the (Servant).]
[The trait ??> is resisting!]
[The skill is resisting!]
=====
"Huh?"
Raven was dazed, looking at the transparent window that popped out.
"What’s happening?"
Levina then asked with a frown.
The two felt like sothing was changing in the contract between them.
Raven just continued watching the ssages in the system window in front of him.
=====
[Changing you as the (Master) in the contract.]
[Change successful!]
=====
And after that ssage, the glow in Raven’s hand disappeared, but the lightning crest remained.
Then this ti—Levina frowned even deeper.
She knew sothing didn’t go according to her plan.
