561 Linetta and Lillias's Advancements

Being held in Vaan's arms, Linetta felt the familiar sense of security and happiness. The warmth from Vaan's touch calmed her heart and made her feel at peace.

Vaan's kiss of reassurance gave Linetta the determination she needed to move forward.

'Cherish your youth while it lasts; it'll disappear faster than you think. But fear not when it is gone, for a new journey awaits!' Linetta thought expressively.

Although the time she spent with Vaan was as fleeting as her childhood, she couldn't become fixated on the past.

No matter how fond she was of her memory, she knew she couldn't return to that time and stay like that just like kids couldn't be young forever; they would eventually grow up.

Nevertheless, so long as she was alive, there would be chances to be with Vaan regardless of the situation.

Linetta was aware that Vaan's ambition wasn't confined to Pangea; it extended beyond the stars. Thus, in order to not be left behind, she was resolved to work hard and desperately on self-improvement to keep up.

As long as she didn't abandon herself, Vaan wouldn't abandon her either - Linetta figured.

Nevertheless, while Vaan and Linetta were clinging together, enjoying each other's warm embrace, Lillias pouted with discontent on the side.

"That's enough, sis. You've hugged him long enough!" Lillias squeezed herself in between the two to separate them before clinging to Vaan's body. Then, she glanced back at Linetta and spat, "You're such a baby, sis."

Linetta could only smile wryly.historical

She had no excuse for herself. Indeed, even she felt like she had been too emotional recently. Perhaps because she was the elder sister, the ups and downs of past events weighed more heavily and took a toll on her mind.

That said, she was better now; she felt light and relaxed.

"Alright, settle down now, my two ladies. I have something to give you two," Vaan peeled the clingy Lillias away before pulling out several vials of Transcendent-rank Stalactite Milk.

Without a surprise, the semi-translucent glass vials filled with earth-attribute power immediately attracted the two ladies' attention.

Their eyes were glued to the vials like they were enchanted.

"You should have consumed quite a fair amount of Ten-Thousand-Year Stalactite Milk and improved your physique and talents previously, so I doubt it's effective anymore, even if you still have some left," Vaan casually mentioned to Linetta before glancing over to Lillias. "I also assume you had your fair share of consumption after repairing your mana veins."

"This is Transcendent-rank Stalactite Milk. It's equivalent to Hundred-Thousand-Year Stalactite Milk, quality-wise. Take them. They should improve your constitutions and talents even further," Vaan urged shortly after.

However, Linetta and Lillias didn't respond immediately.

Instead, they stared hard at the vials of Transcendent-rank Stalactite Milk for a while before asking simultaneously, "Can we give this to our mother?"

Vaan smiled with amusement.

Despite the exorbitant value of Transcendent-rank Stalactite Milk, the mother and two daughters of the Delarosa household only thought about the well-being of the other.

They put each other first and didn't prioritize themselves.

Their selflessness and willingness to sacrifice their self-interest for the benefit of their loved ones was part of what he appreciated about them.

"You two don't have to worry about your mother. I have already given her three vials. These are for you," Vaan calmly replied before urging two ladies, "So take them."I think you should take a look at

"Mm," Linetta and Lillias agreed.

Since Vaan had already said as much, it must be true. He had no reason to lie to them. After all, they could easily verify the truth, not that they need to.

Without further delay, Linetta and Lillias picked up their first vials of Transcendent-rank Stalactite Milk and downed everything in a single gulp.

Once they sensed the potent effects of the miraculous water coursing through their bodies, they instinctively sat down in a meditative position and adjusted their breathing rhythm.

It was the best way to absorb the potency of any medicine or power according to their knowledge.

While Vaan quietly watched over the two ladies absorbing the miraculous water's efficacy, he sensed the surrounding earth elements drawn to their bodies.

It was a sign of the Earth Spirit Body's blessing - absorbing the surrounding earth elements to strengthen the potency of the earth-attribute medicine.

Evidently, Linetta and Lillias had both acquired the Earth Spirit Body from consuming the Ten-Thousand-Year Stalactite Milk.

However, Vaan wasn't the least surprised by that fact.

After all, they had acquired far more than enough Ten-Thousand-Year Stalactite Milk to produce merely three Earth Spirit Bodies.

Nevertheless, there wasn't enough earth power to support two Earth Spirit Bodies at once without causing damage to the surrounding floors and walls.

Even the surrounding mana was being greedily absorbed by the two ladies.

Fortunately, the Delarosa's estate was supported by a large mana-gathering spell similar to Helia's castle.

As such, Vaan opened the windows and allowed more mana to flow inside the room.

At the same time, he took out some asteroid pieces that already had their divine energy crystals extracted and left them on the floor near the two ladies.

Time passed as the asteroid pieces cracked, splitting apart after having their earth essence extracted. Later, they completely crumbled into dust.

"Keep going," Vaan urged once he saw the two ladies reopen their eyes when the potency of their first vials ended.

"Yes!" Linetta and Lillias complied, taking up their second vials and drinking them.

Within moments, the earthly phenomenon resumed.

Linetta and Lillias' bodies continued to be strengthened and improved under the influence of the Transcendent-rank Stalactite Milk.

Despite being the Stalactite Milk, its quality was on a different level. Thus, their bodies haven't built immunity to it yet. No, they were still far from it.

Alas, the damage to the room eventually forced Vaan to move the two ladies to a different location, where they could continue consuming the Transcendent-rank Stalactite Milk and absorbing its efficacy.

By the end of their third vial, Vaan noticed the two ladies were close to a breakthrough.

Thus, he gave them another two vials each and helped them push their Low-rank Earth Spirit Body to Mid-rank Earth Spirit Body.
