Saintess? Not Anymore! I'd Rather be a Destroyer-Chapter 100 - 86: Body Evolution

Queen Amber’s face lit up with a broad grin as she thought about spending time with her daughter. "It’s been ages since we had a proper mother-daughter bonding session," she exclaimed, her voice brimming with excitement. "I need to make a date with her and remind her that I’m still cool!!"

As she envisioned all the fun activities they could do together, Queen Amber couldn’t help but chuckle at the thought of her daughter’s reaction. "She’ll probably roll her eyes and tell me I’m embarrassing," she laughed, her eyes sparkling with joy. "But I’ll just have to show her that her mum can be cool too!"

Shialor peered over Aurianna’s shoulder, her eyes widening as she saw the princess shivering, her face suddenly pale.

"Princess, what’s wrong?" she asked, her voice tinged with concern.

"I just have a terrible feeling," Aurianna replied, her voice quivering with fear.

Aurianna reclined nonchalantly on a luxurious orange bed, her thoughts drifting back to the final training day with Carol, prompting a wistful sigh.

"I’m utterly exhausted," she gasped, struggling to catch her breath as she laid on the duty floor, while Leila chuckled at her sister’s plight. "Nevertheless," Leila remarked placidly, "Our light element has undoubtedly grown stronger."

"My teeth ache terribly, though," Aurianna complained, holding her cheeks and shedding tears. "Their bodies are incredibly tough."

"Undoubtedly, the discomfort was a small price to pay considering the large increase in our strength," Leila remarked with fervor.

"I guess so," Aurianna nodded in agreement.

"Regrettably, this marks our final day here, Aurianna," Leila lamented,

"Yes," Aurianna replied, her eyes fixed on the dark skies.

"We won’t have the opportunity to see each other for several months until the following year," Leila uttered in a soft tone, her gaze fixed on the sky.

Aurianna swiveled towards Leila, and let out a chuckle. "I certainly won’t miss you at all, chi, chi, chilalala!!"

Leila teased Aurianna, "Your laugh is still as weird as ever."

Aurianna retorted, her face flushing with embarrassment, "As if your laugh is any better than mine!!"

"Are you certain that you won’t miss me, my dearest sister?" Leila inquired playfully, crossing her arms and giving Aurianna a wink.

"Maybe just a little, since your personality is just amusing," Aurianna replied with a slight pout.

"Well stay safe," Leila said with a wave as her body slowly disappeared.

"Same for you!" Aurianna waved back.

"Good bye dearies, I’ll surely miss you," Carol sobbed, tears cascading down her cheeks.

"Goodbye, Carol," both girls waved in unison. 𝒻𝘳ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝒷𝘯ℴ𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝑐ℴ𝑚

"Could I at least have a hug?" Carol requested, arms outstretched.

"No!" Aurianna and Leila retorted simultaneously, before vanishing from sight. Stricken by their response, Carol slumped into a corner, weeping. "Those girls are so damn mean!" she lamented.

Aurianna’s thoughts returned to the present, lying in her bed as she raised her right-hand high and balled it into a triumphant fist. Her face was adorned with a wide smile of contentment.

"So, I’ve reached level 386!" she exclaimed, brimming with pride.

"I’m thoroughly enjoying this progress, and my abilities have significantly improved as well. Yet, it also means that I won’t make such crazy progress for another year," Aurianna complained, her expression now one of dejection.

"Like damn!! Why is it that we can only enter Eva’s space for only five days per year?" Aurianna questioned, her eyes welling up with tears of frustration.

"Have you forgotten that your body and soul would be destroyed if you lingered there for too long?" Eva appeared before Aurianna, reminding her of the facts.

"Oh, yes, I kinda forgot about that," Aurianna replied, nervously scratching her cheek.

"You idiot!" Eva shouted, seizing Aurianna’s cheeks between her fingers.

"Ouch! Ow, ow! That hurts, you know!" Aurianna whimpered, and Eva promptly released her grip.

"By the way, Eva, how strong have I become now?" Aurianna inquired with a look of eagerness.

"Well, I’d say you’re now strong enough to hold your own against a Chaos/Holy human and survive," Eva responded with a thumbs up.

"What? Are you serious?!" Aurianna asked in disbelief, her expression one of surprise as Eva confirmed her statement with a nod.

"I’m not joking; you may not necessarily emerge as the winner in a fight, but you’ll undoubtedly come out alive. In fact, with your skills, you might even beat them, since they surpass those of the average High Human," Eva explained with a shrug. Aurianna couldn’t help but feel elated at this revelation.

"Could you explain further?" Aurianna prodded, eager to understand the matter more thoroughly, and Eva obliged with a smile.

"Hmm, at level 386, your physical body has been trained and honed to be akin to that of both a Chaos and Holy Human, which is quite unusual, as most people usually only develop one or the other. It’s somewhat difficult to explain, but your body’s strengthening factor is entirely unique." Eva attempted to clarify.

"I see, but what does that mean?" Aurianna queried, still a little perplexed by Eva’s explanation.

"Well, it all depends on your fighting style and technique," Eva replied, crossing her arms in thought.

"A person becomes a high human after level 100, and it would mostly take them over a hundred years of thorough training to get that strong. A High human can evolve into a Chaos and Holy Human which are level 500, and they can evolve into an Arc Human is a level 1000, a grand human is a level 5000 and a Primordial Human is a level 10,000. The highest evolution of a human. But for Diamonds, I have no idea. Unless I ask the system. So, I’m not really aware of your full potential yet. In terms of physical age, they appear to be in their prime, but due to their extended lifespan, they can accumulate a vast amount of experience and knowledge," Eva added.

"It’s important to note that even though you possess the traits of a Chaos and Holy Human, you still have a short way to go to reach their level of power and expertise. So with dedication and hard work, you can definitely make significant progress and become a formidable opponent in battle."

"Hmm so how old is a Chaos or Holy Human?" Aurianna asked with a curious gaze as she sat up straight.

"Were you listening to what I was saying?!" Eva yelled angrily at Aurianna who nonchalantly played with her hair.

"You were speaking too damn much," Aurianna complained, and veins popped up in Eva’s face.

"This brat!!" Eva hissed, "But back to the question before, from what I’ve noticed, Chaos and a Holy Human, are around 300–500 years old," Eva stated and Aurianna nodded thoughtfully.

"Then what about an arc human?" Aurianna asked.

"Arc humans are typically between 600 and 1000 years old," Eva replied to Aurianna’s question. She couldn’t help but think to herself, ’However, King Girsal has broken that logic. I’ll need to investigate him later.’

"With your progress, it appears that your evolution is near," Eva stated with a cheerful countenance.

Aurianna, curious about the nature of her impending transformation, inquired, "Are you suggesting that I will evolve to the level of a Holy Human?"

Eva responded, "No, not quite. Rather, you will experience a unique Diamond Evolution that will have an impact on your physical form."

Excited at the prospect of gaining increased strength and ability, Aurianna eagerly asked, "So when can I evolve?"

"Once you reach level 400, you will have the ability to unlock a liquid body," Eva explained with a knowledgeable tone. "According to the system, a Diamond undergoes eight distinct stages of bodily transformation, which include the Liquid body, Sand body, Stone body, Iron body, Astral body, Crystal body, Gem body, and finally, the Diamond body. Each stage of transformation results in a significant increase in strength and durability. In fact, some S-class weapons would be incapable of penetrating your skin."

Excited by the prospect of such immense power, Aurianna inquired, "To what degree would the Diamond body increase my strength?"

While Eva lacked a definitive answer, she responded casually, "I cannot say for certain. However, once you attain the Diamond body, your strength will undoubtedly be higher than usual."

"All I know is that once you obtain that body...." Eva was about to provide further insight before abruptly halting and withholding her thoughts.

Aurianna noticed the pause in Eva’s response and couldn’t help but ask, "What is it, Eva? What happens once I get the Diamond body?"

Eva chuckled mischievously, "It’s better to keep it a secret."

"You’re no fun!" Aurianna pouted, and Eva couldn’t help but giggle in response.

"Trust me, it’ll be much more satisfying if you discover the secret on your own. So get your hustle on and strive to reach level 400!" Eva cheered, while Aurianna let out a sigh of determination.

"By the way, you’ve met the gray Diamond, right?" Aurianna inquired of Eva, who perked up upon hearing the question.

"Yes, I have," Eva replied softly.

"So, just how strong was he?!" Aurianna asked with great enthusiasm, her eyes sparkling with anticipation.

Eva’s expression darkened as she recalled the fight between Gray Diamond and the Regals. "To be honest, at the time, I didn’t even realize he was a Diamond," Eva muttered softly.

Eva, who was a young girl with a mix of human and mechanical cyborg features, joyfully sprinted through the vibrant fields of blooming flowers, clutching a bouquet in her delicate hands. Her countenance radiated with pure happiness, yet her appearance was marked by the striking contrast of a golden, ethereal wing contrasting with its technological counterpart.

As she traversed the fields, her path led her to a desolate junkyard, where discarded remnants of technology lay scattered and forgotten. Her footsteps faltered, and her body trembled with an unsettling presence that seized her attention.

"Why... Why are the Regals here?" Eva’s voice quivered as her gaze fixated upon the colossal figures that stood before Gray Diamond, emanating an aura of sheer menace. The Regals possessed wings which bore grotesque, screaming faces that instilled dread in anyone who gazed upon them. Their angelic visages held an allure, their beauty tainted by the vibrant, rainbow-hued circles that encircled their eyes, speaking of something far more sinister. They were adorned in resplendent attire, an intricate fusion of futuristic fabrics in mesmerizing rainbow hues.
