Chapter 263 262: Unexpected Benefit
An indescribable silence engulfed Corey's vast spiritual sea of consciousness. Corey's mind was unable to comprehend what had just occurred before him.
The once turbulent sea in his spiritual sea of consciousness was now so calm, that the only source of disturbance was Corey's baffled ntal state.
His eyes had a dazed light as he looked at the previous location of the strange spirit that wanted his body.
A few seconds ago, he was ready to fight an extrely dangerous battle that could end his life. But, in the next second, his opponent was eaten.
Corey's gaze landed on Rhea, and his lips twitched slightly.
She was huge!
This was not Corey's first ti seeing Rhea in such a form, and he had a guess that she would most likely gain her current form after attaining a certain strength.
Although, he didn't know how Rhea was able to transform to this form at the mont, he guessed that it was most likely temporary.
And he was right.
He received a ntal transmission from Rhea, telling him that her current form was temporary.
She had transford so that she could easily and quickly devour the spirit that had invaded his sea of consciousness.
Although, she was much stronger in her current form, her foundation and potential were severely damaged.
When Corey heard this, he was at first worried that Rhea had hard herself just to protect him.
He didn't want her to do such if it ant that she would most likely not be useful to him in the future with her destroyed foundation and potential.
What was the point of having a pet or companion that could not beco as strong as him?
He needed strong allies!
Not weak allies!
Luckily for Corey and Rhea, Rhea did not damage her foundation and potential just because she cared about Corey or was worried about Corey.
Sure, if Corey died, she would also die.
But, for her to damage her future and potential just because of Corey was sothing she would never want to do.
She had imnse pride and hope for her future, and she would not ruin it for sobody she was not too familiar with.
The main reason she had helped Corey in devouring the strange spirit was because devouring the spirit would help her reach the next tier- Tier 2.
The energy the spirit would give her was more than enough for her to reach the next tier.
When she noticed the presence of the strange spirit in Corey's sea of consciousness, she was at first startled and worried due to the strength of the soul.
But, when she saw the imnse amount of energy it possessed, the greed in her heart could not be controlled.
She didn't know how long it would take before she found an energy source like the strange spirit.
She also didn't want to miss such a delicious al, and she was decisive enough to use one of her forbidden skills which temporarily granted her imnse strength.
The strange spirit was much stronger than her, and no being at her level would even have the thought of absorbing the spirit.
But what was she?
A Spirit Devouring Bird!
She was the bane of all spirits!
And her potential was as high as the heavens!
Normally, her foundation and potential should have been severely damaged, but the energy from the spirit was more than enough for her to use to repair her damaged foundation and potential.
When Corey got this piece of information from Rhea, he was relieved.
He didn't want to have to look for another pet since finding a unique pet like Rhea was extrely rare and difficult.
It could only be chanced upon.
A white fog appeared around Rhea, and Corey felt danger from the fog.
He frowned slightly, and decided to inspect the fog.
What Corey saw in the fog caused his mind to shake.
He could see the faces of countless living beings howling with different emotions and expressions.
So had expressions of fear.
So howled in pain.
So howled in ecstasy.
It was an extrely strange and disturbing sight to Corey, and he didn't know what to think about such a sight.
As he observed the white fog, the fog wrapped around Rhea's titanic form like a cocoon. And a few seconds later, no energy was emitted from Rhea.
An ecstatic light appeared in Corey's eyes as he gazed at the fog encased Rhea.
He was extrely happy that Rhea was getting stronger.
The stronger she was, the more help she could offer him, and the more he could use her in battle.
Corey did not expect the finger to help both him and Rhea to advance in their tiers. Although, he had been greedy and foolish when he took the finger from the corpse in the Nightmare Castle, everything was all worth it.
"I just hope it doesn't take too long before her tier completely adnvances."
Corey smiled, and a second later, his smile vanished.
Although, he had defeated the strange spirit of the finger, he was not out of the woods.
'I'll survive. I'll survive no matter what.'
Corey's eyes glinted with unyielding determination, and with a thought, he vanished.
A second after he vanished, a hazy figure of light appeared in his sea of consciousness, and if Corey was here, he would notice the figure emitting emotions of surprise, and dissatisfaction.
This figure of light was Nina!
[I can't believe his pet was able to absorb that fragnted spirit.]
Nina spoke with visible surprise, and curiosity in her tone.
[Although, you have deprived him of the opportunity to have his spiritual battle, it's not all bad.]
[Now, I'm more curious about your origin.]
[Where did you co from?]
If Corey was here, he would definitely be shocked.
If there was one person who he thought would know of Rhea's origins, it was Nina.
But surprisingly!
Nina knew nothing of Rhea's origin.
This was her first ti encountering such a strange creature.
[Although, he's not that special. His luck and encounters definitely are.]
[Let's see how he fares with his first tribulation of hell.]
Nina thought, then she looked at the fog encased Rhea with a curious and intrigued light before disappearing.
