[The [Second Trial] has been completed successfully.]

[You have received 10000000 Divine Power]

[You have received a Special Reward for completing the [Second Trial]: [Sea Dragon’s Divine Fang (S Grade)] x1!]

[Due to your outstanding achievements on the [Second Trial] you’ve received the Hidden Rewards left by the [Inheritance’s Creator: Aquarius]!]

[You’ve received the [Mystical Dream Soul Orb of the Sharp Toothed Abyssal Piranha Queen (S Grade)] x1!]

[You’ve received the [Aquarius’ Dream Memory Soul Orb (S Grade)] x1!]š‘œš•š‘³xt.š‘Ŗš‘¶š‘€

[You’ve received the [Divinity Fragment of Primordial Seas] x10!]

[You’ve received an additional 20000000 Divine Power!]

“And that’s a wrap.” I said with a nod. “I also got another Memory Orb, though I cannot use it yet, mysteriously so. Oh, alsoā€¦”

I quickly took out the purple-colored orb containing the soul of the Sharp Toothed Abyssal Piranha Queen, which was the Familiar Aquarius used to create the Stigma within Rose, sealing a large Fragment of the Deep One’s powers.

“Here, Rose, take this.” I said, giving it to her.

Much like Sapphire had the one of the Shark, Rose had the sharp toothed fish. It was normal to imagine she would use it as well to powerup and awaken the Familiar sleeping within her Stigma.

“Oh, this isā€¦ the same thing that my auntie got, right?” She wondered.

“Indeed, focus while holding it with your Stigma’s hand, Rose.” Sapphire guided her.

She closed her eyes and held the orb, which quickly began awakening, spiritual and divine powers began flowing into her Stigma, as a resting soul within was powered-up and then woken from its sleep.

FLUOOOOSH!

Rose’s pink and purple Mirage and Illusion Attribute Aura surged wildly around her, and then started to distort and transform, shapeshifting into a gigantic piranha-like fish with sharp red eyes and incredibly sharp tooth. It was covered on shiny, purple scales, and had several venomous spikes over her body.

ā€‹ “Uwaaah! W-What theā€¦?! I imagined something like this but seeing it upfrontā€¦” Rose sighed, feeling slightly scared.

“GRRRHHā€¦” The giant fish groaned, rubbing its face over Rose. It seemed she liked her.

And not just this, but Rose’s entire body was overflowing with a lot of divine and magical power. Despite not being of a divine rank, due to her Stigma’s powers, she was somehow comparable to a Rank 7, or even a Rank 8 now that she awakened her powers.

[The Stigma User: Rose] has awakened the [Sharp Toothed Abyssal Piranha Queen] Familiar within her Stigma!]

[All her Magical Powers have been unlocked. Her Stigma’s Divine Magic has been enhanced even further.]

[The Guardian Stigma User: Coral] has awakened the [Coral Fortress Titan King] Familiar within his Guardian Stigma!]

[All of his Magical Powers and Physical Abilities have been unlocked. His Stigma’s Special Magic has been enhanced even further.]

“W-What is this?!” Even Coral felt a powerup. Due to the uniqueness of his own Stigma being created because of being a Guardian of Rose’s own Stigma, he also awakened his own familiar.

FLUOOOSH!

A titan made of corals emerged within his Aura, with gigantic arms protecting him and Rose like a relentless guard. It seemed that even this entity was within the boy’s abilities, and perhaps was also the origin of his bizarre magic.

“It does seems like we’ve made some progress.” Said Benladann. “I do wonder, will we get the other Orbs in the last Trial?”

“I do think we might.” Sapphire said. “Though, the other two Stigma users are most likely our enemiesā€¦”

“Do you know who they are?” Wondered Rose.

“I believe the current Queen is probably one of the Stigma users, and thenā€¦ there’s a mysterious one, someone. Your mother is dead and Stigma users can only be women.” Said Sapphire. “So that would leaveā€¦ a cousin? Or a sisterā€¦”

“A-A sister?! I have a sister?” Wondered Rose.

“Iā€¦ have no idea, dear. Sorryā€¦ But it is merely a speculation. We’ll only find out the truth once we confront the Queen, the Deep One, and whoever is the other Stigma.” Said Sapphire.

“Awwā€¦” Rose sighed. “I hopeā€¦ I don’t have to fight a sister or somethingā€¦ That would suck.”

Coral comforted her by giving her a pats in her shoulder, while my daughters were with her as well.

“Well, if that happens, we’ll help you out snap her out of whatever brainwash she’s on!” Said Benladra.

“Nn! I can do it.” Said Kate.

“Benladra, Kateā€¦” Rose sighed, smiling a bit.

“Yeah, just like we made you snap out of your own brainwashing provoked by that monster, we’ll be able to do the same. I bet even the Queenā€¦ might be in some sort of brainwashing too, right?” Coral wondered.

“I do believe that might the case, to an extent.” Sapphire wondered. “Though, merely just being ignorance is also a possibilityā€¦ Through history, ignorance and stupidity has always been the biggest enemy of people.”

“We’ll eventually find out. The second trial already showed us a lot of what has happened to Aquarius, and how his past is connected to his future, and then our present.” I said. “The Dark Entities following him, I believe they might have been something like Chaotic Spirits, if not something even stronger.”

“But why were they so obsessed with killing all sea dragons and taking over the seas?” Wondered Benladann.

“Isn’t it obvious?” Miranda said. “So they can just govern over it! They were most likely trying to have some sort of revenge against this planet, there were several survivors, and I have no idea if Aquarius managed to kill them allā€¦”

“Could it be?” Pekora wondered. “Maybeā€¦ what you explained us before, about the Aquarius Archipelago History. The way the Deep One was summoned by the Ancient Cult, they were using cores from chaos spirits, weren’t they? This Cult just showed up out of nowhere after Aquarius started protecting you all, isn’t it?”

“Indeedā€¦” Sapphire nodded. “Waitā€¦ You think there’s a connection with the Chaos Spirits that killed the Sea Dragons? Maybeā€¦ they were chasing Aquarius, and decided to kill him by using the very people he was protecting? Oh godsā€¦”

“We’ll see more of that as we complete the next and last trial, for now we should- Agh! Ariel, are you eating the fang already?!” I said, surprised that the trident was munching on it.
