Alex stared at the projection in front of him. Quite a few stat points had been accumulated, besides,
"I never imagined that my level would increase so much after absorbing a small soul fragment."
Alex never thought his status would increase so much. But what else could one expect from a ruler? Alex kept his newfound knowledge to himself because it was still unclear.
-->>So shall I see what's in the random box? (Alex)
Alex is alone in the tent. It's dark outside, so he hasn't come out yet. There were some fruits in the tent that he's eating and looking at the system options. At first, he might have thought that a lot of time had passed. But in reality, the day is over and it's just night. Everyone else is asleep, so Alex is the only one awake.
Alex entered his system's inventory. There was nothing inside. Two unknown items that he got from the mystery box and a random box. Alex clicked on the box. As soon as he clicked, a message appeared in front of Alex to open it,
-""Master, do you want to open the random box?""-
With Alex's level, these messages also started to get annoying. Previously, Alex did not receive so many messages. In fact, they did not come on time. But as Alex's level rose, the messages also became better and started coming on time. Alex opened his random box without seeing anything.
-""Today was a bad day. But at the end of the day I achieved a lot.""-
Alex realized that he would have to wait a few minutes to open the box. So he thought about what he had achieved today again. He glanced at Alex's status again.

-->>My intelligence has increased a lot. Maybe because of the fight in my mind. (Alex)
Intelligence depends on one's knowledge. The more knowledge a person has, the more intelligence they have. And the more intelligence they have, the more energy they can gather. Alex doesn't know much yet. So the more intelligence points he can accumulate, the stronger his magic will be.
-""Congratulations Master. You have received a magical item.""-

-->>Well, I didn't expect that.(Alex)
Alex tried to take the Necro Blade out of his inventory but it wouldn't come to his hand. He realized he had to use his stat points, he had a lot of stat points anyway. Alex didn't want to use them all up but he had no other choice.
-->>I'll have to check. (Alex)
Alex remembered an old story. While in the Tower of Sloth, he couldn't use any other magical items because of the Ring of Beelzebub in his hand. Because whenever he picked up an item, it turned into a normal object. So he wanted to check this one out too. Even if it didn't work, Alex wouldn't focus on magical items anymore.

Alex added 45 points to his Strength. And 30 points to his Intelligence. At the same time, a pop-pop sound was heard in the projection in front of him. At the same time, the bones in Alex's body also started to die. Alex's feeling was not the first time. Even then, Alex didn't like it. It was like cheating. What else is cheating than using your power like this without doing anything?

Alex looked at his status options again. He didn't want to spend his stat points like this. Still, it was necessary to check the item. Alex wasted no time and took out the Necro Blade from his inventory. Due to the small stone inside the tent, there was light inside the entire tent, so everything was clearly visible. First, a black smoke formed and from that smoke a long sword came out of Alex's hand. The sword was quite large, which was not at all usable considering Alex's age. Moreover, it was quite heavy.
-->>I understand why I had to increase my strength for this item. (Alex)
The sword is very heavy, if Alex had tried to raise the sword without increasing his strength, he would never have been able to deliver a single slash.
-->>The details say I can give any shape. (Alex)
Alex is no longer inexperienced. He knows how these things work. Normally, he might have tried to find the button. But magic works through the power of thought. Alex does not feel comfortable with the sword. Because the sword reduces one's speed a lot. Alex took the sword in his hand and started thinking about his weapon of choice.
Alex has been using a short sword for a whole year while in the Tower of Sloth's testing grounds. So it has become a habit with it. Having a short sword in hand doesn't make any difference in speed. So it is easy to use. Since Alex has chosen Assassin as his sub job, a dagger is the most ideal weapon for him.
Alex started thinking about transforming the sword in his hand into a dagger. And immediately, a black smoke started coming out of the sword. The smoke surrounded the entire sword and it turned into a small dagger in Alex's hand.
-->>Not bad. It's called an ideal weapon. But it would be better if the weight was reduced. (Alex)
Although the sword in Alex's hand is smaller, its weight is the same as before. So it doesn't feel good to him. However, Alex is happy to see that the ring is not absorbing the energy of this necro blade. This is a good thing for Alex.
-->>What should I call the lich? (Alex)
Even though Alex understands everything, he doesn't know much about this familiar. So he doesn't understand how to summon it? Summoning a familiar is not like his Undead Army skill. So he can't activate it like a skill.
-->>There are so many things I need to try. But my mind is going blank now. (Alex)
Alex was getting sleepy. A lot of time had passed in his mind. Besides, there had been a short fight. So he was getting sleepy again. Alex turned off the light of the tent stone and fell asleep.
* * * * *
On the other hand, everyone in Chain's team is sleeping in their tents except for one. An ice ladder has been made to climb up a tree branch. And on the branch sits Elin von Uexkull. Her face looks pale. Since it is dark around her, she has used her light magic to create some light. In that light, a black fire phoenix bird sits on her shoulder.
-->>Master, are you thinking about the previous decision? (Bird)
The bird asked Elin. But Elin remained silent for a while. She started remembering what had happened today.
(formerly)
Alex was lying down and Elin was sitting next to him. Alex's condition was quite terrible. An energy was coming out of his body that Elin had only heard about but had seen for the first time today. The energy was so pressured that Elin was having trouble breathing. So Elin understood that if she waited, a terrible person would appear in front of her, which would definitely not be this little boy.
-->>So what do you do? Use me, or let me go to this boy, or do nothing and wait for the reincarnation of one of my master's enemies. (The bird)
Elin didn't know what decision to make. She had a goal of her own. To fulfill that, she had to keep one of the five keys with her. Otherwise, how would she fulfill her wish?
-->>If I use you, you can help him without killing him. (Elin)
The bird paused for a moment and began to answer,
-->>It will depend on your decision. (The bird)
Elin thought for a moment. She had never thought about using this key. She had always thought that she could become stronger without it. But now she didn't want to lose everything for a wrong decision. If she gave the bracelet to Alex, then even if Alex became stronger, Elin would have no benefit. And even if she killed Alex now, Elin would have no benefit. Because someone from the tower was coming for both of them. And even if she didn't do anything now, there would be a problem. If the Ruler of Dead took over Alex's body, then everything Elin and those who had a connection with Beelzebub would be destroyed.
-->>It seems like all my roads are closed. What should I do? (Elin)
The bird didn't expect Elin to agree. But like a game of chess, he checked Elin in every way. There was only one way for Elin to escape from there.
-->>Welcome my new master.(The bird)
The bird didn't say anything else. The bird was talking to Elin from inside the bracelet. And Elin was talking to the bird, looking at Alex. The words weren't being spoken out loud. No one was saying it with their mouths. Everything was through their minds. Which is called telepathy. The bird didn't say anything else. But it explained exactly what Elin needed to do. A memory flashed through Elin's head.
"Phoenix Blessing"
A Pure Phoenix Power user can only give this blessing to one person. Basically, it is a blessing that Phoenix Power users give to their life partner. So that the Phoenix can protect both of them for their entire lives.
-->>Are you crazy? Physical relations! I'm only about that old, and this boy is a year younger than me. (Elin)
As soon as the memory of this came to mind, Elaine started to cry. This was never possible for her. In every kingdom, even in the empire, even though marriage was fixed after ten years, no one could get married before eighteen. This was a very strict rule. And Elaine, the daughter of a duke, was married to a commoner,
-->>No no it will never happen.(Elaine)
Elin's face turned red with embarrassment. Although she used to look cold as ice, now she was embarrassed. Maybe no one knew her like this.
-->>I was just telling the master to kiss me. Now is a good opportunity, maybe in the future he will get this opportunity? (The bird)
Elin understood the bird's words. After being with her for so long, no one else but the Phoenix bird could possibly know what was on Elin's mind. Elin's goal was not that simple. First, she wanted to reincarnate the Demon Prince Beelzebub. Second, Elin wanted to be with the Demon Prince. Third, she hadn't thought about what she wanted yet.
She has been eyeing Alex for quite some time. There is one thing that Elin dislikes the most. Elin can never tolerate someone who has power but uses it just for show. That is exactly why her conflict with her brother has been going on for a long time. At first, she thought about taking Jiduri from Alex. But later Phoenix stopped her from making that decision. Because someone powerful from the tower is coming for them. So now it would not be good to take Jiduri from Alex.
"But that means this boy will also be strong with me." (Ellen thinks)
In other words, Elin is much stronger than Alex now. So killing her is not a problem for Elin. As long as Elin survives the gluttony, Alex's job is done. But will it be so easy in the future? With Elin, Alex will be stronger. Maybe even much stronger. What will happen then?
"The Phoenix must be planning something beyond my knowledge." (Elaine thinks)
Elin is not a stupid person. Being the daughter of a Duke, she can easily understand all situations. And besides, since Phoenix has been with her for so long, Elin can easily understand if someone is planning something secret. But it is impossible to know what they are planning.
"Whatever will be." (Elaine)
Elin looked around. There was no one around. So she took this opportunity to move towards Alex. Her whole face was red. Even though she was thinking one thing, her mind was thinking something else. Although she didn't want to, Alex looked a lot like the boy of her dreams (Beelzebub). So she couldn't control her emotions and fused her lips with Alex's. The kiss lasted one to two seconds. Elin's face turned even redder. She moved away from Alex and waited for Alex's body to return to normal.
To Be Continued ...
Tell me how it is.
