As the voice sounded, a strange humanoid figure made of pure elemental flames appeared in a corner of the secret room.
67 years was enough for Grimm to push his spiritual force to the limit of 20 points, and it was enough for him to complete his elemental transformation, achieving a balance between his body and spiritual force.
In the past, if Grimm had transformed into his Flame Demon form, this small secret room would have been scorching hot, making it hard for anyone to stand still. Whether it was the High Temperature Domain or the Flame Barrier, he could turn his surroundings into a sea of fire, a world of scorching lava.
But now, with the perfect balance of the fire elemental energy, the overflowing heat had disappeared. A two-metre-tall fire elemental stood beside them, but they did not feel any change in temperature, nor did they feel the suffocating feeling of the flames licking the air.
The flames quietly burned on Grimm's body, like the most docile servant. He was not as violent and ferocious as they remembered him to be. The Magi present could not help but suspect that what they were seeing was just an illusion. There were no flames on Grimm's body!
However, everyone could clearly sense the enormous energy aura that was as deep as the sea!
It had to be said that after the first 20 years of hardship, Grimm had forced himself to transform into a Flame Demon in order to stimulate the elemental resonance and balance between his body and spiritual force.
In the past, Grimm had to rely on the rune tattoos to transform into a Flame Demon and become an excellent Fire Manipulator. But now, no matter if he was eating, sleeping, meditating, or conducting magic experiments, Grimm would always maintain this form of a fire elemental.
Fire was no longer a skill of his, but an instinct that was as natural as breathing and speaking.
In the past, Grimm was human, and fire was fire. The only thing that connected the two was the untouchable fire elemental affinity. But now, most of the time, Grimm's consciousness had already recognized himself as a ball of fire, a ball of fire with a humanoid appearance and a consciousness of its own.
The benefit of this was that Grimm no longer needed any incantations or hand gestures to cast fire elemental spells. He could simply wave his hand and disperse them at will.
The large-scale fire elemental spells that required a 'long' amount of time and energy to cast were now almost instantaneous. Whether he cast it or not, it was no longer about whether he had enough time, but whether he was willing to pay the Wizard Power required to cast the Wizard Spell.
That was why it was normal for Grim to be in his fiery form. If it wasn't for Mary's intimacy, Grimm would have abandoned his' weak 'human form.
After silently appearing in a corner of the secret room, Grimm did not talk too much with the others. Instead, he went straight to Ava, who was in so much pain that she was hovering between life and death.
In the middle of the delivery room was a soft couch. Ai Wa was lying on her back, her pale face covered in sweat.
She grabbed the edge of the bed with both hands, raised her head, and let out a heart-wrenching scream.
Grimm was not affected by the tragedy at all. He stood in front of the bed and bent down slightly. His eyes, which were made of pure red flames, lit up with blue light. With his current 20 points of spiritual force, as well as the A.I. Chip's powerful elemental insight, beyond-visual-range remote sensing and full-spectrum elemental perception, Ava, who was lying on the bed, was like a book. Everything, big and small, appeared before Grimm's eyes.
Even though it was already time to give birth, Ai Wa's belly was still not that prominent. Under the exquisite grass-green robes, her delicate and smooth body was covered in beads of sweat. There was a pool of green mucus between her legs, but it was not blood.
Even through the robes, Grimm could clearly see Ai Wa's belly wriggling from time to time, the little things inside propping it up into a strange shape.
As his vision went deeper, Ai Wa's flesh and skin gradually became translucent, revealing the strange spore in the pelvic cavity of her abdomen. Looking at her strange appearance, Grimm's mind naturally thought of the Spore that had appeared in the records of Magi.
It had a humanoid body, with eyes, ears, a mouth, a nose and four limbs. There was a pair of symmetrical lumps on its back, and deep inside, one could vaguely see a dragonfly's wings curled up into a ball. There might not be any problems with its appearance, but its flesh and blood … Its skin and flesh were all grass-green, looking no different from natural plant fibers.
On the surface of its skin, the unique plant moss and sporangia of the Spore could also be seen everywhere.
As for its hands and feet, the ends were also long whip-like rattan tentacles and antennae.
At this moment, the little spore seemed to have sensed that it was about to leave its mother's body. From the surface of its body, numerous needle-like tentacles pierced into Ai Wa's body, and through them, it frantically absorbed the mother's life energy.
And this life energy was not wasted, it was all converted into a huge amount of energy needed to readjust the structure of its body. In Grimm's perception, the little fellow's body was like a boiling construction site. New muscle fibers, internal organs and other flesh and blood tissues were rapidly growing, and even the bones supporting the body were appearing from nothing.
And all of this consumed a huge amount of energy absorbed from the mother's body.
"Go get all the blood crystals and green crystals, and some flesh regeneration potions!" Grimm tilted his head and thought for a moment, then took out an elemental crystal core overflowing with a green halo from his flaming bosom and placed it on Ai Wa's belly.
The moment the green crystal core came into contact with Ai Wa's skin, Grimm seemed to hear the joyful cheers of the little life in her stomach.
Blood crystals were used to replenish blood energy, and green crystals were crystals formed from the condensation of green plant energy. This elemental crystal core was clearly a rank 2 crystal core, and it was a very rare plant type.
With his elemental vision, Grimm could clearly see the direction of the little fellow's evolution and elemental tendencies. Thus, with his targeted replenishment, the sufficient and appropriate energy input also allowed the little fellow to relax its demands on its mother's body.
As a result, Ai Wa's life force was slowly restored by the huge amount of life potions, and she was able to escape the danger of life backlash.
Finally, after suffering for 10 hours, with the shrill cry of a baby, the strange life born from Gargamel and the forest demon Ava was born.
This was a very beautiful and charming human girl. She had just been born, but she already looked like a human baby of two or three years old. She had a pink face, dark red skin, beautiful and raised eyelashes, and a head of curled and slightly damp golden hair.
When Meryl wiped off the green mucus on her body and handed it to Ai Wa, the little girl even let out a joyful laugh. In her small hand, she was still holding onto the Grade 2 Green Crystal Core.
Although the Magi who had gathered around did not have the strange ability to see through other people's bodies like Grimm did, they were well aware of the strangeness of this little girl. A little fellow that had just been born already knew how to disguise herself and make herself more likable. This in itself was very telling.
However, everyone pretended to be confused, and all of them were full of smiles as they congratulated Gargamel and Ai Wa, turning a blind eye to the little girl's strangeness.
After putting down the gifts, the Magi took their leave.
When Grimm was about to leave, the grateful Gargamel personally sent him to the door.
"Master, is there any problem with my child?" Before they parted, Gargamel secretly contacted Grimm without a change in expression.
"She has your and Ai Wa's life imprints on her body. That's enough!" Grimm's answer was simple and clear, and at the same time had a profound meaning.
Gargamel lowered his head in thought, silently nodding in agreement with his master's opinion.
From the strangeness of the entire birth, it could be seen that the origin of this little girl was really suspicious. However, as Grimm said, as long as the blood flowing in her body was his and Ai Wa's blood, then there was no need to care about such a small 'flaw'!
When only Gargamel and the forest demon Ai Wa were left in the secret room, the forest demon Ai Wa pulled Gargamel over and stared deeply into his eyes.
"This is our child!" Ai Wa's words were firm and solemn.
"This is our child!" Gargamel solemnly promised.
After receiving Gargamel's guarantee, Ai Wa finally felt at ease and placed the little girl in Gargamel's arms.
Blinking her beautiful green eyes, the little girl smiled sweetly at Gargamel.
Feeling the strong aura of the bloodline, Gargamel's gloomy and withered old face finally revealed a sweet smile, and he tightly held the little girl in his arms.
However, immediately after, he felt a sharp pain in his chest from a hard object.
Looking down, he saw that it was the rank 2 plant type crystal core that the little girl was tightly holding on to.
"Little baby, can you return this thing to Master? Another day, I'll find a lot of things like this for you, okay? " Feeling the surging elemental energy inside the rank 2 crystal core, Gargamel couldn't help but want to take it away.
Who knew that his action would immediately cause the little girl to cry, and her little face also collapsed.
"Okay, okay, okay … You keep this thing first, when you're tired of playing with it, you can give it to me …" Gargamel hurriedly said, making the little girl smile again.
Gargamel helplessly let out a bitter smile.
… …
Returning to his laboratory, Grimm took out a small reagent bottle and placed a portion of the green mucus he had just quietly ingested into it.
Although he had not yet carried out the most sophisticated witchcraft tests and experiments, Grimm dared to pat his chest and guarantee that the baby girl born from Gargamel and Ai Wa was definitely the legendary Spore Person.
After ruling out the possibility of a mutant invasion, Grimm had reason to suspect the true identity of the forest demon.
If the forest demon Ai Wa was not parasitized, then the only possibility was that the source of her bloodline was most likely a Spore Person from the underground world.
