Elias stared at the status screen for several moments, his eyes moving from one line to another as he tried to process everything it revealed about Natasha.

There was far more information than he had expected, and although some of it was understandable, several terms were completely foreign to him.

His attention was first drawn toward the talent listed near the top, and when he focused on it, another translucent window appeared.

[Child of Divine]

[Grade: SS]

[Born with an extreme affinity for everything divine.]

Elias raised an eyebrow as he read the description.

’An extreme affinity for everything divine...’

It sounded powerful, but before he could think about it for too long, his attention shifted toward Natasha’s physical constitution.

’Heavenly Demon Physique?’

His brows furrowed, and when he focused on the name, another explanation appeared before him.

[Heavenly Demon Physique]

[This vessel holds the mark of the primordial demon, the master of ten thousand demons and the paragon of the demonic.]

[The physique is currently dormant as it has yet to complete the second stage of reformation and reach the third stage of transformation.]

Elias’s expression became increasingly confused.

’Reformation? Transformation? What is it talking about?’

He stared at the words for a few seconds before another question entered his mind.

’And what exactly is demonic? What are demons?’

The words were familiar, but their meaning was not.

He remembered seeing similar terms connected to the White Hellbreaker Sword and Black Hellcaller Sword, both of which had mentioned beings known as angels and demons, yet Elias had never encountered any actual explanation for what those entities were.

As far as he knew, the words did not hold any particular meaning in the Dracarian Kingdom.

The kingdom was far more knowledgeable about swordsmen than it was about the other two paths, and even the information Elias had learned about mages and spiritualists had mostly come from his childhood maidservant.

Perhaps one day, he would have to travel to Jorn and investigate these mysterious concepts himself.

For now, however, he shook his head and continued examining Natasha’s status.

Her Mana Aptitude was shocking, to say the least.

It was equal to Monica’s S-grade aptitude, yet it was also different because Natasha possessed four affinities: Light, Darkness, Holy, and Unholy.

Monica, on the other hand, had far more affinities than Natasha.

’Still, having both Light and Darkness, along with Holy and Unholy, seems a bit strange.’

Elias found himself wondering how someone could possess such opposing affinities at the same time.

What truly caught his attention was her Spiritual Aptitude.

SS.

It was even higher than her already extraordinary S-grade Mana Aptitude.

However, the word written beside it made Elias’s expression gradually darken.

[Spiritual Aptitude: SS (None)]

’None...’

He understood what that meant almost immediately.

Natasha’s aptitude was still there, but she could no longer make use of it.

He remembered the condition of her body and, more importantly, the damage done to her spiritual veins.

Elias felt a faint ache in his chest as he looked at the status.

She possessed an SS-grade Spiritual Aptitude, yet none of it could currently be used.

Her spiritual affinities were equally impressive, with Divine and Demonic both reaching SS-grade while Ghost and Elemental reached S-grade, but none of those affinities meant anything if Natasha could not even use spiritual energy anymore.

’What a waste...’

The thought immediately made him feel guilty.

It was not Natasha’s fault that she had been crippled.

Elias eventually shifted his attention back to her rank.

Her being a Warrior was surprising to say the least.

That meant she had never awakened or formed a connection with any entity from the Spirit Realm.

He knew that was true because if she had ever been Exalted or above, the system would have displayed it differently.

He also knew that Spiritualists followed an entirely different and arduous path.

According to what he had learned during his childhood, spiritualists could gather spiritual energy flowing from the Spirit Realm into the real world and gradually accumulate it within their abdomen.

Once they collected enough spiritual energy, a Spirit Gate would appear within their mind.

The spiritualist would then connect that gate to their body through a bridge of spiritual energy known as the Spirit Bridge.

From that point onward, they could directly draw spiritual energy from the Spirit Gate, and when enough spiritual energy accumulated to form a star, the spiritualist would receive a call from the Spirit Realm.

That was about as much as Elias knew regarding spiritualists and their progression.

Most of that knowledge had come from the maidservant who had raised him during his childhood and patiently taught him everything she knew about history and the different paths of power.

’So Natasha has the talent, aptitude, and affinities to become an extraordinary spiritualist, but she cannot even begin.’

Elias’s expression became complicated as he looked at her.

Meanwhile, Natasha had been quietly observing him for quite some time.

Her brows slowly knitted together.

She had absolutely no idea what was happening.

Her husband had been staring into space for quite a while now, and the strange expressions appearing on his face were doing little to reassure her.

’Is he right in the head? Perhaps it is the stress?’ She wondered.

Eventually, Elias finished examining her status and dismissed the screen.

He leaned back slightly before looking toward Natasha, who was still staring at him with an almost suspicious expression.

Elias frowned slightly. ’Does she want to go inside?’

He rose from his chair and walked around the table until he stood beside her.

Then, without saying anything, he extended his right hand toward her.

[Let’s go.]

Natasha lowered her golden eyes toward his hand.

She stared at it for several seconds, seemingly trying to understand what he wanted, before looking back at him.

Elias waited.

Natasha did not take his hand.

Instead, she simply nodded and rose from her chair.

A faint, bitter smile appeared on Elias’s lips as he withdrew his hand and nodded as well.

’Perhaps it is still too early for that.’

He did not force the matter, and the two of them began walking back toward the manor together.

The garden remained peaceful behind them as they crossed the short path leading toward the building, and the morning sunlight continued filtering through the branches above them.

Elias walked beside Natasha without saying anything, his mind still occupied by everything he had discovered about her.

There were simply too many mysteries surrounding his wives. Yet for the moment, Elias decided not to dwell on them.

They entered the manor together, and the moment they stepped into the hall, a red blur shot toward him.
