CHAPTER 47: BEAST TURNED BEAUTY

"Mother! Please remove this toxic gas first; my energy won’t last long." Liliana shouted in anger with veins bulging on her forehead.

Lilith clicked her tongue in annoyance, and with a snap, the entire lab got cleaner.

"So why are you back so soon? I don’t want to hear you are bored or anything," she asked again, now with vexation apparent in her eyes.

Liliana sighed in relief as the toxic gas was no longer in the air and her protective layer dissipated.

Then, with a determined expression, she said to Lilith, "Mom, I need you to train me to make me stronger."

Hearing her daughter’s words surprised Lilith, as she never expected her lazy daughter would ever try to do any kind of training other than reading and watching those useless novels and dramas.

"Alright, but be warned, I am not as kind as Lucifer," She said with a chilling smile, which sent shivers down Liliana’s spine.

However, she prepared herself as it was for her own happiness.

.................

......

Under a dark and ancient Sacred tree that glowed with a purple glimmer, with leaves of a light purple shade

Two women were standing in front of a beautiful, mature witch who was looking at them with a smile

.

"So, little Eva, what do you need my help with?" the mature witch asked the green-haired elf, who looked quite nervous as she began speaking

"Dear witch queen Anastasia, I want your help in sealing the darkness in my heart," as she spoke, Eva felt a voice in her heart laughing at her, calling her a coward.

’Shut Up,’ she internally screamed while clutching her chest in pain.

"I believe the druids are more experienced in that issue, aren’t they?" Anastasia muttered in confusion, laced with curiosity

But it was her daughter who answered her words this time, "Mother, I had already taken Eva to her home, but the matriarch of the druids refused to help."

Alicia explained with a dark expression, her face shadowed by a gloomy aura.

Anastasia nodded with a wry smile, "I guess, as expected of that woman, she wouldn’t want to seal her own daughter, even if it’s just a side of hers."

Eva bit her lips at the words of the witch queen, and in her mind, the same voice whispered again, ’It’s futile to expect mother to seal me as we both are her daughters equally.’

Eva retorted, ’It’s me who is her daughter, you are just a darkness born from me. I don’t want to give in to your temptations.

The voice in her mind didn’t comment and just faded away with a melodious giggle.

Anastasia looked at Eva and realized what she was going through and said, "Eva, my dear, I may have a solution for your problem." Her words were like the voice of a savior as Eva’s face immediately brightened.

"What is it?" she asked in excitement and hope.

Anastasia smiled and said, " Simple, I just need to separate both your spirits."

"How—"

However, before Eva could ask, Alicia spoke up.

"But mother soul separation is extremely dangerous." Her voice was laced with worry as she looked at her mother.

Anastasia nodded and turned towards Eva. " Eva, if you really want, I can separate you two; however, I can only do it after that side of yours develops more, or it could harm you both."

She explained gently, "And also you need to accept that side of yours as she was born due to your love for a man and betrayal towards your oath of neutrality."

As Anastasia’s words entered Eva’s ears, she lowered her head in contemplation, remembering what that voice said to her previously.

’Did I really betray my oath, but what’s wrong with me loving my husband, isn’t it normal?’ she thought in confusion.

’There’s nothing wrong with loving our dearest Husband, Eva, but we have to choose between staying out of worldly problems and choosing to support our love, who will surely get involved in many troubles’

Her other side said with an unusual, gentle tone different from her usual mocking one.

Eva understood this as well, but for a druid, staying neutral is in their nature, so she can’t accept her other side.

"Little Eva, I think it’s already clear what you want," Anastasia said, breaking Eva from her internal struggle.

"What do you mean?" Eva asked in confusion

Anastasia gently smiled and patted Eva’s head. "I hope you know the history of your kind Elf from the fallen Alfheim Celtic nature spirits who lost their home altogether, took refuge under Arcadia, and vowed to never involve themselves in anything."

Eva nodded at her words, as it was a story she knew.

"Do you know why Druids fall into deep slumber after they develop feelings for someone or marry someone from another race? It’s to protect their vow to remain neutral, and only when their love kisses them, Druids themselves can’t take it anymore and forcefully break their own vow to wake up.

In reality, you had long broken your vow, resulting in the birth of your darkness."

Anastasia finished her long explanation and looked at Eva, who had a dark expression as she realized the truth.

She had long broken her Vow of neutrality.

"Eva, are you okay?" Alicia asked in worry as she touched Eva’s shoulder.

Eva turned around and faced her. "Alice, I think I can’t lecture about staying out of others’ trouble," she said with a smile, but her eyes were already tearing up.

After all, for Eva, who was burned with the sole purpose of protecting nature and staying neutral

Suddenly being told she had to break her own vow for love was devastating.

However, the voice in her mind whispered something again. This time, her face brightened at her words.

Eva’s expression turned determined. She shifted towards Anastasia and said, "Queen Anastasia, I am ready. Please tell me how I can begin with the spirit separation."

And before Anastashia could warn her again

"I am fine, please let us begin," Eva said with her eyes glowing subtly.

................

"Fuck...DAmn ...How do you not get tired?" I asked with ragged breaths as I lay flat on the devastated battlefield

The Monster was standing straight a few distances away, not bothering to attack while I rested.

"Anyway, what are you, a guy or a gal, or do you have a name? I had been referring to you as either kaiju or monster?" I asked the monster with a lighthearted tone.

But to my surprise, it actually spoke.

"I am a guardian of this Realm, and no, I have no name or gender, as I am just a guardian of this mini realm." It spoke in an androgenous voice without any emotion in its tone.

’So the monster is genderless, huh?’ I thought, and suddenly I thought of an idea.

"How about I name you?" I said to the monster with a smile.

The monster tilted its head. "Name? Me?" It said confused

I nodded and pondered what to name the nameless monster.

Looking around me, I saw the flower field gradually recovering. My eyes glowed as I thought of the perfect name.

"How about Fiora? I think it suits you as the protector of this flower field," I said to the monster, who looked at me, clueless about my choice of name.

"Fiora? That name sounds feminine," It asked, questioning my choice of naming.

I shrugged my shoulders. "I really can’t think of a male name related to flowers, so besides, you are not a guy either, so it doesn’t matter."

The monster understood my words and nodded its head. "Suppose that name will do."

However, as it accepted the name, the entire field of flowers glowed in a pink color as the wind blew from all directions

And when I looked towards the monster, I saw it glowing in a white light.

’Wait, did I help it evolve again or something?’ I thought in disbelief

But soon, when the light got scattered away, my jaw dropped from what I saw.

The one in front of me was no longer a monster with a skull face and Armored skin.

but a beautiful woman with long pink blonde hair and pink eyes with a veiled face

She was wearing a beautiful dress that showed her smooth midriff and sexy thighs.

And the most exotic part about her was the completely black skin, like her previous monster form, but this time, she looked like an absolute fairy.

"What in the fucking world did happen?" I muttered in utter disbelief

The now beautiful Fairy tilted her head, confused at my reaction, and looked at herself, showing mild surprise at the change in her body.

"Hmm, I totally didn’t expect that at all, too think you will form a contract with the guardian." I heard a melodious and annoying voice, which, by now, I hold quite a lot of resentment towards

"Merlin!" I shouted at the woman who appeared behind me in anger
