Sevapheso began to glow on an emerald light as his entire dead spirit body began to mutate, his Phantom expanded widely as it absorbed Ervas and Veronica's Mana, and his entire being became greater.

​​

Strong waves of energy were exuded from his ethereal body as Feroya and Desephise glanced with awe. Although Feroya had experienced such a thing already, she had never seen a Dead Spirit turning into a Ghost before.

"A Wind Ghost too…" said Ervas.

"It seems that you two are really connected…" said Veronica.

Sevapheso's appearance became clearer to the eyes, his ethereal body had now taken almost the same appearance as his physical body used to have, his eyes glowed with an emerald color as his wings flapped, releasing strong winds. His entire body seemed to be made of green wind spiraling around constantly, he was indeed a Windstorm Ghost, the same as Feroya.

"Sevapheso… You become like me…" said Feroya with teary eyes.

"Of course, Feroya… I wouldn't be able to live without being with you," said Sevapheso.

"Now… We will never separate from each other…" said Feroya with enamored eyes.

Both she and Sevapheso hugged each other as they exchanged a long and phantasmal kiss, a love between those that had died and taken upon the path of the undead, to be eternally together.

Desephise couldn't help but feel a bit of melancholy over such a decision, but quickly moved such thoughts away, she was simply happy if they were happy.

"Anyways, if you two want to still have bodies from time to time, we have prepared your physical bodies in here," said Ervas, showing the two their perfectly healed bodies… even that of Feroya.

"Eh?! That's my body! But how?! Wasn't it burnt and all…?" said Feroya.

"It indeed took a long time to find it, but my Phantom Clones and Veronica's Clones did the job, it was almost all bones, but it remained with some feathers and flesh and skin, that was enough material to duplicate the rest. Unlike still living beings, when they are corpses, I am capable of restoring them to their fullest, even the flesh and all was easily restored to an extent… Although I wish I could do the same for living people, it seems to be harder than with corpses…" said Ervas.

Ervas had developed his healing capabilities to such extents that he was able to give Life to even rotten corpses, recovering them to their fullest… as long as he added a lot of meat from somewhere else as mass, which he used Anir's Bone Marrow for that. Like this, Feroya's vessel was stronger than she used to be… He also added several other body parts from different places, but he didn't reveal such things.

Ghosts were able to 'possess' other people, and even corpses if they were not reanimated beforehand, although this wouldn't change their race as ghosts, they would be able to use such corpses as if they were wearing clothes.

Desephise's concern and melancholy quickly flew away as she saw her daughter and her boyfriend possess their vessels, becoming 'alive' once again, despite being Windstorm Ghost still.

"This… it feels kind of odd now, but it still amazing!" said Feroya.

"Indeed… It feels as if I was wearing clothes over my soul, but this works!" said Sevapheso.

"My daughter… You're just as beautiful as I remember you… although, is that the eye of a wyvern?" asked Desephise.

"Well… I could not completely reform the entire body, so I added a few pieces here and there, anything that was too complex to recreate… but she's just as good as new. Also, Wyverns have good eyesight," said Ervas nervously.

"Oh, I see… Well, she looks just as wonderful as ever…" muttered Desephise with tears flowing out of her eyes.

There was also the option for the other Ghost that Ervas and Veronica had to get their physical vessels, but none of them seemed particularly interested. Ozgeth, Legion, Pete, and Alraune all feel comfortable while being as they were.

Although Pete still misses his physical body a bit, that body was already butchered and used as food and materials, so he would have to possess the vessel of a lesser centipede, which he did not want to.

Ozgeth had only lived one day before being converted into a Ghost, so he did not have much of an attachment with living flesh, nor Legion who was the same case for the majority of its composite mind…

And Alraune, well, she was simply an agglomeration of thousands of plants, there was no identity at all nor attachment to anything, really, she was barely beginning to form a mind of her own.

However, those such as Shade and Gaia who were Attribute Spirits desired a physical vessel, but it was impossible for them to 'possess' something like Ghosts can, so they couldn't get vessels as of now.

So, the first Ghosts to ever wear bodies as 'vessels' were Feroya and Sevapheso, who seemed rather happy about it.

After having chatted for a bit more, the pair went out with Desephise, where they were greeted with the cheers and happy cries of the entire Harpy Tribe, who glanced at the three alive and well. Many people cried at Feroya's revival, and the parents of Sevapheso could not believe that their son had finally come back to them, apologizing for their irresponsibility, which Sevapheso easily forgave them for, telling them similar words that the ones he told to Ervas and Veronica about striving together towards a new future.

Left alone, Ervas and Veronica smiled a bit, they seemed to have become happier after bringing happiness to others… it was one of the things that brought a sense of fulfillment to their cause, and a sense of being.

"Sigh… Now, now, let's get these kids done for, I am starving," said Veronica.

"But you don't have a stomach…" said Ervas.

"Yeah, I mean, I am starving in the sense of soul, I want to eat these curses. The feeling we had yesterday after eating them as a bit of gratification, and it even let us acquire new power…" said Veronica.

"Oh, indeed, one million extra mana and one thousand Magic was pretty good… Hm, but don't get addicted to that…" said Ervas with a concerned voice.

"Addicted?! Me? Haha! What are you talking about~! Do not joke around with that…! Heh…" laughed Veronica.

"Addiction of eating curses… well, that's new…" muttered Ervas.

One by one, each child that was once a pawn of the Necromancer had their souls cleansed off their curses and had the wounds within the soul and their bodies properly cured.

After a bit less than an hour, both Ervas and Veronica sighed in relief as they had finally finished their arduous work.

"It was a bit easier, isn't it?" asked Veronica.

"Yeah, we are getting better at dispersing curses and healing souls," admitted Ervas.

Both of them glanced at the floating lump of blackness in front of them, that released a strong phantasmal presence. Alongside the curses, this lump possesses the crazy Phantasmagoric Aura of Sevapheso, which was extracted from his soul due to its dangerousness, it possesses so many negative emotions that the thing seemed to have become alive.

"If we were to let this thing go rampant, it would most likely absorb these curses and become some kind of monster, like a specter…" said Veronica.

Specters were a type of high-ranked Ghost-type monster, they were known for their more destructive natures than Ghosts and their ability to cause disgrace and famine whenever they walked as if they were curses.

Such beings were even rarer than Ghosts, as they not only needed a dead spirit that could turn into a ghost through miasma contamination, but they also needed to have enormous amounts of negative emotions and monstrous nature.

"A specter… That would be certainly quite problematic. Although our own Souls and Phantom are kind of like specter, or even stronger…" said Ervas.

"Yeah… and as we eat this one… it might get even more monstrous…" said Veronica with a bitter smile.

"But this monstrosity is necessary… we need this power," said Ervas.

"Yes, we need this power… Without strength, we cannot accomplish anything, nor we can help anyone. In this world filled with monsters and corruption… where the strong and rich are the only ones able to decide the fate of the weak and poor, if we have strength above all, we can make true our dreams… said, Veronica.

"…The dreams of the prosperity of everyone…" said Ervas.

Flash!

Suddenly, Ervas and Veronica expanded their souls and converged them together into a gigantic gray-color specter, their claws extended around the sphere as their maw grotesquely extended like a monstrosity that no one should look at as they might fall into insanity.

The maw began to munch into the sphere of blackness as the Phantasmagoric Aura within roared in pain and anger, but it was futile, with a few crunchy bites, it was gone alongside all of the curses.
