When I looked at my own Status, I couldn't help but smile, it had all increased. Not only Divinities, but also Divine Abilities.

Things as powerful as Unique Skills were also enhanced, without exception. Only those already at the pinnacle being SSS Grade couldn't be upgraded anymore. However, things such as Winter Magic and Ice Absorption became S Grade now from A Grade! With this, they have gained even more power. I felt like my ability to comprehend Skadi's Divine Grimoire of Primordial Ice was enhanced even further. My clones are still reading I even as I slept, so I've been slowly analyzing and learning a bit, though I am still yet to learn the first spell, which is very complex. And also Ice Absorption Leveled up… I don't know what that even means though, checking the information just says "it can absorb ice" and that's it. But I'm sure it has gained a new power, or at least, some sort of enhancement. Well, I hope.
Other more amazing Skills such as Spirit Creation and the new Dungeon Creation also Leveled Up by a Grade, so they should be stronger. I wonder what's the difference now… I'll have to test it later, but if they're now at A Grade, I can't imagine how costly it would be to get them to S Grade though… Doppelganger is also SS now… Maybe making them wont be so costly now.
"Woah, amazing…"
"W-What's going on with you Drake?"
"Oh…"
I quickly realized I was noticed by Benladann and Miranda.
"I used my Divine Power to Rank Up to Rank 8 middle stage. I got pretty strong. I can also evolve now, but I'll save it for later, it takes a little while to evolve now."
"I-I see… Just when I thought I had caught up with you, you just end up jumping so many ranks!" Benladann said while pouting.
"I-I guess I think the same… Well, now I'm a Divine Spirit so its not like my growth is not connected to Benladann." Miranda sighed.
"Well, you're already doing amazing, when you combine your powers and Benladann brings out her Chaos Powers, I am pretty sure you can stand toe to toe with me." I said. "Without you two we wouldn't had been able to defeat that Fragment of the Chaos Dragon after all, it would had simply continued regenerating until it killed us all…"
"R-Right, I guess that's a thing." Benladann said. "But I know this is not enough, I want to keep growing stronger… So I'll continue absorbing more Chaos and Miasma! I know your abilities are unique, but I also got my own unique powers, so I'll abuse them to catch up with you, honey!" Benladann seemed hyped about grinding for more power.
"Ugh, I feel like I am being ignored here…" The Chaos Spirit of Benladann showed up, floating silently behind her. He looked like a black slime with a small red eye.
"You also helped a bit, buddy." Said Benladann.
"Gyshi!"
And then, a cute white snake appeared as well, Shiro. The half spirit and half dragon white snake-like familiar of Benladann, who helped a lot in the fights.
"You too, Shiro! I don't know what I would do without you!" Laughed Benladann.
I realized that not only Miranda had grown amazingly strong as she was now emanating a powerful Divine Aura, but also her other two Spirits! The Chaos Spirit that joined us back in the Orange Forest Duchy incident that was the former Scaled God went back to his glory and turned into a Divine Spirit and was rather strong in his chaos powers. Meanwhile, Shiro who counted as a spirit too absorbed divine power and turned into a Divine Dragon Spirit of Moonlight, apparently. Pretty amazing. She got a whole team now. I guess I don't have to worry if she ever wants to go on solo sometimes, she got her whole squad to take care of her back.
"You've really grown strong." I said, petting Benladann's head. "But I'm also happy that you're at my side through all these trials… Aside from strength, magic, or fighting… Aside from all those things, I am happy to have you with me… Your company is all I really need to keep going."
"D-Drake…" Benladann suddenly hugged me. "Dummy! Why are you saying such emotional things out of nowhere in the morning?! Don't you see I am hungry right now? Crying while being hungry is double the pain!" She cried, hugging me tightly.
"Hahahah, sorry… Let's eat something before we get going. I also want to give you something myself… Remember the blood of Terra? And also the corpse of the Chaos Dragon?" I asked her.
"Eh? Wait a second… you're not thinking of…" Said Benladann.
"Miranda, how about you absorb part of the corpse?" I asked.
"Oh? OHHH! I never thought about that!" Miranda said with a smile, as I also petted her head.
