Supreme Couple In Apocalypse: Undead King & Demonic Queen

She then quickly turned to the left and adjusted the temperature of the dark blue flame on a giant wok with several ingredients shining and processing in bright red liquid that was gradually thinning.

On the other hand, Lynia and Maleina felt a chill. However, Maleina quickly said to Lynia telepathically using spirit sense, 'Lynia, don't annoy him anymore with your futile struggle and stubbornness. It will only kill you and me faster.'

Erix looked at Lynai and Maleina before turning to Lilith. "Alright, I will, but Rin will be done soon, so we'll finish the 5th and 6th levels of Howling Tombs first. I am raring to use my improved skill and new combat form."

*Crackle!*

A faint thundering crackle resounded before Rin flashed beside Erix. She also finished creating her new skill, and coincidentally, it was also a long-range and barrage-type projectile skill to utilize her 'Severum' and boosted slash-type attacks.

"I am done, darling! Let's go," Rin said with an eager grin. "The challenges are fun and vastly versatile, so they really give inspiration to improve our skills."

"Go and take your time. You can challenge more tombs if you want to because It will take two more hours to finish this feast," Lilith said.

"Oh yeah, don't jump on to 8th and 9th level caves' howling tombs. You need more stats for that," she added.

…

After Rin and Erix left through the portal and arrived back at Howling Tombs' main cavern, they quickly went to the 5th level of the cave and started their challenge.

On the other hand, half an hour later, inside the cavern, Lilith suddenly paused and turned to Lily, who had been in her serene spot since she and Rin had a session with Erix.

'She did it,' Lilith smiled.

Lily's body suddenly exploded with a powerful magic aura. Dreamy blue motes with a faint white-gold hue started producing around her from her body!

It was not Mana but a higher form of it!

Prana!

Lily officially broke through to Royal-order rank as she successfully manifested her Arcane Spirit Pond in her origin region!

The Arcane Spirit Pond that manifested was swiftly filled with Prana to the brim at the breakthrough and started overflowing, which caused Prana to leak out from her.

In the depth of her Arcane Spirit Pond was an enigmatic golden-blue fruit with curvy and eccentric patterns.

That fruit formed from the Noble order's Magic Spirit Flower, and one had to glean from the fruits' profound magic patterns and form Arcane Spirit Pond using Mana and Spirit Force.

Once the Arcane Spirit Pond formed and the fruit became the core of it, the breakthrough to royal order was completed.

From now on, Lily's main energy reverse became Prana, effectively increasing all of her powers by 50% because Prana was entirely 50% more powerful and potent than Mana!

Lily opened her eyes in excitement as her existential limits broke by reaching royal order! She could level up more and get even more powerful!

"Lady Lilith, I did it," Lily grinned from ear to ear. "I broke through way faster than I expected. Maybe it was thanks to Erix?"

Lilith mirthfully chuckled. She was truly happy for Lily. 'Oh, maiden in love. But she is not wrong. This new life has brought her much joy and color in her life.'

"You are not wrong, Lily," Lilith responded with a smile. "You must want to stabilize your newfound powers. Rin and Erix should be in the 6th or 7th-level tomb."

"Mhmm, I'll go right away," Lily merrily smiled as she turned into a stream of faint mist before entering the portal.

Klelia was still in deep focus as she wanted to reach 3rd realm in her Water affinity.

She was in the 2nd realm of Wind and Earth affinities, but even though she had her special combat arsenals, she fell short of offense and defense against 6th level cave's Howling Tombs since she narrowly avoided death and barely defeated the 1st tomb.

Moreover, she was a mage, so her attacks were mostly projectile and magic-formatted in various forms.

Half an hour later, she opened her eyes and left her meditative state, slight frustration and sinkiness in her heart.

'I need to keep up…'

Klelia saw that neither Erix, Rin, or Lily were there and bit her lips.

She knew that with Erix making progress in his source, the benefits of her vital essence to him would lower, which would make her useless and even a burden to this group.

But Klelia wanted to stay with them! She was getting attached to the group because of the feeling of overwhelming potential they exuded, which indicated to her a thrilling future with them.

She had lots of fun every day, especially with Erix. The activity with him was heavenly for her.

'If I want to stay with them, I'll need to prove my worth and usefulness,' Klelia's eyes burned with resolve.

'Only after that can I make a step forward to get a closer connection with them.'

Klelia didn't want to be like Reinala or the other two that were captured today.

She volunteered to become Erix's resource in exchange for staying here and improving here using Serene Spot, but she wanted to be more after staying with them for two weeks.

She wanted to become a proper party member and their companion!

Klelia took a deep breath and closed her eyes again, entering deep meditation and determined to make progress in comprehending Water's affinity to 3rd realm as soon as possible.

'Forget everything else and just focus on being water.'

'I can do it!'

Well, only future would tell that.
