The dust calmed the battlefield, revealing Aland's figure with his Spiritual body that seemed unharmed despite receiving various attacks.
Seraphina, who had previously been so confident that she could defeat Aland with her strongest abilities, could only sit on the ground, her spirit shattered by the overwhelming might of her opponent. The air was silent as Seraphina's tears had mixed with dirt and dust on her face.
Aland approached Seraphina with a mixture of respect and affection in his eyes. He understood the burden of defeat and the pain it brought, as he had also faced failure in the course of his life.
Aland Kneeling beside him, he placed his hand on Seraphina's trembling shoulder, giving her a hint of amusement.
"Little girl, are you okay?" aland said softly, his voice full of empathy.
"I understand the despair and disappointment that comes with defeat. It is so heartbreaking to see what we hold so firmly crumble just like that. But remember, from moments like these we find the strength to rise again."
Seraphina looked at him, eyes that were wet with tears that were looking for a hint of hope. "How can I find strength when everything I've worked for before, can't even scratch a strand of your hair?" his voice trembled with sadness mixed with fear.
Aland smiled gently, his eyes filled with unwavering determination. "True strength does not come from an undefeated winning record, but from the courage to face defeat and learn from it. Your defeat today is not a determinant of your identity, but a stepping stone on your journey to freedom."
Aland paused for a moment, giving time for his words to seep into Seraphina's heart before continuing.
"Every failure is an opportunity to grow. It is in those darkest moments that we discover the depth of our inner strength. Accept your disappointment, but don't let it destroy you. Drain it into fuel for your spirit and let it ignite the fire within you to rise higher."
Seraphina, who had heard Aland's words earlier, suddenly remembered a memory and the same words, from someone so precious in her heart. But the shadow of the person was so faint that it made his heart ache and slowly followed through with tears flowing down his face.
Strange things began to happen to his body at this time. Some Spiritual Energies were filled with high-tier Earth Elemental Essences. Slowly getting into his body.
That enormous amount of Spiritual Energy, was flowing into his body from various directions. Until it carried him into the air and emitted a bright green-colored light from all over his body.
Aland, who witnessed the strangeness of Seraphina's body, asked the system to analyze the various numbers that occurred in front of him.
"Do an analysis on Seraphina's body at this time, and give me the Detail Information."
[Running Scanning Procedure.].
[Analyzing Data.].
[Results obtained]
[The Seraphina Body is undergoing a Change in the Soul Core Structure. Allowing himself to gain control of the Spiritual Energy was much more stable than before. This change could also give him full power over the Earth Elemental Energy he possessed.]
"This is a very good situation, so the process of awakening the power of Seraphina this time, will have no effect on my mother's physical body in the future. Thank goodness I don't have to worry about it anymore."
Aland was so happy, when he found out his plan to awaken Ellis and Seraphina's power could run smoothly. He then looked at the figure of Seraphina who was currently gaining enlightenment and trying to break through every boundary within him.
On the other hand, Seraphina was closing her eyes to try to understand every single Elemental Earth essence flowing into her body. Just when the last energy entered his body. Suddenly, he sees a memory of his time as a Spiritual being who has forged a magical contract with an Elf girl named Elis Yellowhope.
Including the events where he had to be sealed and parted with Elis, to save Elis' physical body from the excess Spiritual Energy that could threaten the safety of his life.
From then on, Seraphina had to fall asleep inside Elis' soul and seal his Spiritual Energy. Until making Elis who was at that time a great summoner, had to lose his magical ability to summon Spiritual Beings.

After quite some time, Seraphina finally opened her two eyes, her current self looking much different from the previous one. Now he looks more mature and his body looks more radiant than before, making every curve of his body shape, look so voluptuous.
Unknowingly, his body had regained the strength it should have had all along, coupled with the memories of his past that had returned. Now it makes Seraphina feel curious about the figure of a strange and handsome man, who has helped her.
"Thank you, strange man. Your words earlier, have reawakened my lost strength and memory. I apologize for my previous rude behavior." Seraphina approached Aland's Spiritual Body and slightly lowered her head to reward Aland.
"Ehhh.. Is this your true nature? This one of you is completely different from the grumpy girl who attacked me earlier." Aland slightly mocked Seraphina while smiling at her.
"Hiii-hh... You shitty guy, it's a good thing that you've helped me before, otherwise I'll definitely hit you back this time. Hmmm!" Seraphina who has a childish nature looks so cute when the face is beautiful and tiny, showing a pouting expression to Aland.
"Haha.. I'm just kidding, don't take it seriously. To be honest, you look so pretty when you're a friendly girl like this." Aland apologized to Seraphina as well as giving her sincere praise as a man.
"Stop playing me like this, and tell me what you want weird guy." While blushing embarrassedly, Seraphina directly asked Aland, while turning her face and cheeks reddish.
Aland nodded, with a slight smile after knowing the shyness of the beautiful girl in front of him.
"Behold, I have already helped you release the seal that has limited your previous strength and stabilized the Spiritual Energy of your Earth Essence, which the previous owner of this Body could not control."
"Is that what you said?" Seraphina doubted what Aland had said to her.
"Yes, try to bring out your current Spiritual Energy, and take a look at the difference."
Aland had Seraphina expel her current Spiritual Energy, and found Seraphina who was so shocked when she saw the significant change that had happened to her.
"This is Impossible! The Spiritual Energy that had always been overflowing from within my body so hard to stop, I could now easily control it as I wished. Thank you strange man, you've done so much to help me." Seraphina who was so happy after knowing the changes that happened to her, immediately embraced the Spiritual body of Aland in front of her.
"I believe you, Seraphina. Remember, it is not the battles we win that determine our identity, but how we rise after failure. Accept the result of your sacrifice all along, for within you lies the power to shape your own destiny."
At this time, Aland's speech was so clear to him, making Seraphina feel a happiness that she could never forget forever.
A few moments later, he just woke up. After finding the two twin mountains that are quite large, has been firmly attached to the body of Aland who has been unconsciously embraced since a while ago.
"Ehh... Ehhhhhhhhhh... Let go of me you shameless man." Seraphina pushed Aland's body and released her embrace with an extremely red and adorable face.
