Sorry for the delay

Aiden nodded, satisfied with Sylpa’s transformation. He then opened the information of his second spirit, the “Death Dragon of Infinite Darkness,” eager to understand its full potential.

Death Dragon of Infinite Darkness

Grade: ???

Abilities:

Eternal Follower: Grants the ability to resurrect a fallen being, transforming them into an unwavering, loyal follower with enhanced abilities. This process consumes a significant amount of spirit energy.

Abyssal Roar: Releases a terrifying roar that can paralyze enemies with fear and drain their life force, converting it into spirit energy for the user.

Shadow Manipulation: Allows the user to manipulate shadows, creating weapons, shields, or even clones from the darkness. This ability can also be used for stealth and infiltration.

Necrotic Breath: Unleashes a devastating breath attack that corrodes anything it touches, capable of breaking through the toughest defenses and leaving a lingering curse on those it wounds.

Dark Dominion: Establishes an area where the user’s power is greatly amplified and enemies are weakened. Within this domain, the user can control the environment and summon additional dark creatures.

Soul Reaper: The user can harvest the souls of fallen enemies to enhance their own power or to use them as a resource for other abilities. Souls harvested this way can also be used to empower followers like Sylpa.

Nightmare Vision: The user can cast a debilitating illusion on their target, causing them to experience their worst fears. This can be used for interrogation, distraction, or to incapacitate opponents.

Umbral Wings: Grants the user the ability to fly, with wings made of pure darkness. These wings also provide a defensive barrier against both physical and magical attacks.

Aiden raised his brows in surprise at the array of skills his spirit already possessed. Typically, a spirit starts with one to three skills based on its grade. Spirits ranked from 1 to 9 usually have no more than two skills initially, but his spirit had eight, highlighting its exceptional grade—even surpassing his Golden Sword.

Nodding in satisfaction, Aiden then opened the attributes of his third and final spirit. Unlike the previous two spirits, which he gained through contracts with Myne and Astralium, this one was entirely the result of his Soul.

This one is great too, and to some extent it’s even more powerful than the others,” Aiden mumbled, examining the details of his third spirit.

He was particularly impressed by the first ability. The notion of transforming his spirit into millions of different spirits, each capable of using two original skills, made it extraordinarily versatile and potent.

“Imagine,” Aiden thought, “copying over a hundred different powerful sword spirits and constantly changing forms in the middle of a fight. It would surely leave any opponent bewildered and overwhelmed.”

[Have to say, it sure is powerful] Nexus commented too, causing Aiden to involuntary smile but then his smile froze by the next words of Nexus.

[Well, its normal its so strong, after all Cube essence is permeated into you] Nexus said.

Aiden hearing thia just lays on the bed and closed his eyes and fell asleep.

Seeing Aiden action, Nexus tilted her head in puzzlement and asked [Did I say something wrong?]

Myne shook her head speechlessly at her and then let it go.

The next morning, a servant hurriedly knocked on Aiden’s door.

“What is it?” Aiden asked, opening the door.

“Sir, Aiden Everyone called for the meeting.” The maid informed him, and then without saying anything, she picked him up and went to the bathroom.

“Wait! I can bathe myself!” Aiden shouted.

Alas, his words were ignored: “Sir, Aiden, you are no longer a butler, so it will be better if you let us do this kind of chore.” The maid replied as she began to remove Aiden’s clothes.

Aiden, now red-faced, couldn’t do anything as he was bound by this maid as he removed his clothes one by one.

“At least leave my shirt,” Aiden said.

Maid just smiled and lowered his underwear, exposing his little brother. Maid raised his brows, seeing the scene in front of her, and licked his lips.

“Sir, Aiden, it seems little Aiden is not a little,” She said seductively, and then again picking him up, she took him inside the small pool-like bathtub.

After 15 minutes, Aiden emerged from the bathroom, his silver hair still slightly damp, cascading in gentle waves around his shoulders. Wrapped snugly in a plush white towel, he resembled a young prince awakening from a tranquil slumber.

The maid carefully lowered him onto the bed, her touch gentle yet firm as she assisted him in getting dressed. As Aiden examined himself in the mirror, his piercing blue eyes sparkled with a hint of mischief. The black dress with its intricate golden symbols draped elegantly over his slender frame, contrasting beautifully with his silver locks.

“You look absolutely splendid, Young Master,” the maid remarked with genuine admiration, her voice tinged with warmth.

Aiden couldn’t help but feel a sense of wonder at his reflection. Despite his tender age of six, he exuded an air of sophistication and grace beyond his years. In that moment, surrounded by luxury and attended to with such care, he couldn’t shake the feeling that he was destined for something extraordinary .

‘As Aiden surveyed his reflection, a smug grin played on his lips. “No, what I am even thinking, of course I am destined for greatness,” he mused aloud, brushing a stray lock of silver hair away from his face with a self-assured flick.

“…his narcissistic personality is resurfacing again,” Nexus remarked, but Aiden paid it no mind, fully immersed in his own confidence.

Guided by the maid, Aiden made his way to the grand chambers where the rest of the royal family had been summoned to assemble. As he entered, all eyes turned towards him. Chloe, standing beside King Orion, waved at him with a playful smile, to which Aiden responded in kind.

With a respectful bow, Aiden acknowledged King Orion, who returned the gesture with a nod of approval. Taking his seat amongst the assembled nobility, Aiden couldn’t help but notice the curious glances from the other princes and princesses.

“So, he become the fiancé of Chloe,” remarked a young man with striking blue hair and a handsome countenance, his eyes glinting with interest as he observed Aiden from the corner of his eye. This was Sven D Ravan, the First Prince of the Ravan kingdom and renowned for his exceptional talents in both politics and warfare—a rare combination indeed.

The First Prince stood at the precipice of his ambitions, poised to ascend to the throne of the kingdom. However, with the arrival of Aiden, his path to kingship suddenly seemed uncertain. Despite knowing that his father would likely choose Aiden and Chloe for the prosperity of the realm, Sven couldn’t help but feel a surge of resentment. After all, he had spent years honing his skills and preparing to lead the kingdom.

As murderous thoughts flickered in his mind, Sven quickly suppressed them, mindful of the eyes watching him in the grand hall. Unbeknownst to him, Aiden, with his powerful soul and Akashic Insight, sensed the turmoil within the First Prince.

******

Name: Sven D Ravan

Age: 51

Race: Human

Spirit: Winged Tyrant (Light)

Realm: Spirit Lord (Middle stage)

Spirit apprentice – warrior – Elite – Master – Grandmaster – Lord – King – Emperor-????

Remark: The First Prince of the esteemed Ravan kingdom, lauded since childhood for his remarkable talents and abilities. Yet, now he finds himself in a state of distress, torn between his aspirations for kingship and the possibility of being relegated to a minor Duke.

*****

Observing Sven’s status, Aiden grasped his dilemma—he yearned to claim the throne as the next king, fearing that Orion might appoint Chloe and Aiden as the future monarchs. However, Aiden didn’t share Sven’s ambition. To him, the world held vast opportunities beyond the confines of ruling a single kingdom. Why settle for the limited scope of kingship when there was an entire world waiting to be explored and unravel its wonders?

Aiden sensed the need to have a conversation with Sven. He understood the potential consequences of such situations and was determined to prevent any unnecessary conflict. After all, he still remembered the days when he treated him like an little brother, and he didn’t want their relationship to deteriorate over trivial matters.
