Compared to the budget cuts for the next quarter's research funding, Mobius was more interested in the physical structure of the spectre that had been following her.

"Klein, prepare the lab. This time, I've brought back a very interesting test subject."

It was precisely because Moros knew Mobius would put the spectre on the operating table that he gave her an extra one.

Otherwise, he would have been genuinely worried that Mobius would intentionally damage the Spectre Jar just to obtain the spectre sealed within.

Moros knew very well that if Mobius could control her curiosity regarding spiritual beings like spectres, she wouldn't be Mobius.

With Klein's assistance, Mobius finally got her wish of a top-tier laboratory.

Then, the former civilization's most brilliant biologist encountered her Waterloo.

Although Mobius had been mentally prepared for this when the spectre cleverly evaded Moth to Fire's surveillance and followed her into the First Research Institute, she couldn't help but show surprise when she truly observed that this undead creature didn't even possess basic cellular structures.

Mobius reached out, attempting to touch the spectre's spiritual body, but her fingers passed through the void as if through air, failing to grasp any substantial existence.

At this point, she had not yet undergone the Fusion Warrior Surgery and was still an ordinary human, naturally unable to touch spectres who possessed the characteristic of [Intangibility].

"Humans... are truly a ridiculously fragile species."

With a sigh, Mobius showed no signs of discouragement and continued to advance her research plan on spectres.

For a researcher like Mobius, who yearned for evolution, a spectre that obeyed her every command was an irresistible temptation.

Therefore, even though she understood the intention behind this gift to win her over, Mobius could not resist this present from Moros.

While Moros and Mobius were each busy with their own affairs, Elysia and Eden were also chatting about topics related to the former.

"Eden."

The Pink Fairy Lady pounced into Eden's embrace energetically, nuzzling her best friend.

"Elysia."

Looking dotingly at the pink-haired girl in her arms, Eden gently stroked the fairy lady's long hair.

After playing for a while, Elysia stated her purpose.

"My dear Eden, aren't you really going to go with me?"

Looking up, Elysia gazed at Eden's golden eyes with a pitiful expression, hoping for a response.

"But, Elysia, haven't we already discussed this?"

Eden softly replied to her close friend.

Although her heart had already begun to waver under Elysia's expectant gaze, Eden still tried hard to suppress the thought of agreeing immediately.

"My dear Eden..."

"I really can't say no to you."

With a sigh, a hint of fondness and helplessness flashed in Eden's eyes.

She knew that ultimately, she couldn't resist Elysia's request.

"Then it's settled, we'll go together!"

Elysia excitedly jumped out of Eden's embrace, her face beaming with a brilliant smile.

Looking at her smile, Eden also felt a warmth in her heart.

However, just as Eden was about to fetch the Spectre Jar to inform Moros that she would also accompany Elysia to visit his demiplane, the Pink Fairy Lady playfully stopped her.

"Good Eden, what do you say we give him a surprise?"

Elysia blinked her large, moist eyes, looking at Eden with full anticipation.

Eden was momentarily stunned by Elysia's idea, but she quickly reacted and began to seriously consider the feasibility of the plan.

"A surprise? That's indeed a good idea."

Finding Elysia's idea very interesting, Eden smiled and responded to the Pink Fairy Lady's sudden thought.

"Elysia, how do you think we should surprise him?"

Elysia slyly winked, a mysterious smile appearing on her face.

"I have a brilliant plan~"

She whispered into Eden's ear, her tone carrying a hint of playfulness.

"But I'll need your help."

Eden's curiosity was fully piqued, and she leaned closer, wanting to hear Elysia's plan more clearly.

Excitement and anticipation flickered in their eyes, as if they could already see Moros's surprised expression when he received the surprise.

Chapter 86: The Beginning of the Demiplane Journey

The next day.

After recording the newly acquired experimental data, Moros entered the living quarters specially prepared for the Guild Master by the Mage Guild.

He hadn't forgotten his promise to Elysia from days ago to explore a demiplane together.

The Crown of Sar-Issus he bought from the Artifact Merchant?

OK!

The blue and purple, light and flowing Robe of Sar-Issus, adorned with the constellations of the night sky?

OK!

The Ring of Sar-Issus, which looked like two golden dragons embracing a gem?

OK!

The Staff of Sar-Issus, with a golden dragon sculpted atop it?

OK!

Considering this was a date with Elysia, Moros had deliberately chosen the more aesthetically pleasing Sar-Issus Regalia set instead of the Deaths Embrace set, which was more suited for a Necromancer.

Unfortunately, while the Necromancer-exclusive Deaths Embrace set was impeccable in performance, its appearance simply couldn't compare to the Sar-Issus Regalia set.

After all, equipment from the Graveyard faction had always been controversial in terms of design.

Standing before the full-length mirror, Moros nodded in satisfaction as he looked at himself, his mysterious aura amplified by the Sar-Issus Regalia set.

After tidying his appearance, Moros opened a demiplane portal to Osaka City.

Eden was in a high-rise apartment in Osaka City.

Elysia, dressed in a pale pink dress, sat elegantly on the sofa.

Beside her, Eden wore a black evening gown, resembling a queen of the night, noble and mysterious.

The two women's gazes occasionally swept towards the apartment door, as if anticipating the arrival of an important guest.

Clearly, they were both filled with great interest and anticipation for the demiplane journey they were about to embark on with Moros.

"My dear Eden, I can guarantee he'll be stunned by your beauty,"

Elysia pounced into Eden's embrace, nuzzling happily.

"Elysia~"

Eden gently played with Elysia's pink hair with her fingers, her eyes filled with deep tenderness.

Just as the two were immersed in their joyful atmosphere, the doorbell suddenly rang.

The moment the doorbell chimed, Elysia and Eden almost simultaneously leaped from the sofa.

"It's Moros!"

Elysia's sapphire eyes sparkled with excitement as she turned to Eden, her voice unable to hide her thrill.

She snatched the camera from the coffee table, ready to capture every precious moment of this demiplane journey.

Meanwhile, Eden adjusted her evening gown, ensuring every detail was flawless.

She took a deep breath, her face blooming into the brightest smile, ready to welcome the companion who had helped her so much.

As the apartment door slowly opened, Moros appeared, clad in the Sar-Issus Regalia set.

His attire made him look like a mysterious mage from an ancient legend, instantly capturing the attention of Elysia and Eden.

The gorgeous outfit, a blend of blue and gold, shimmered in the morning sun, adding to Moros's charm after his three life-level advancements.

Click~

Elysia was quick, pressing the camera shutter to freeze the moment in the lens.

"Good morning, beautiful ladies,"

Moros greeted them with a smile, handing over the exquisite meals packed from the Conrad Hotel.

Thanks to both magical and physical insulation, the meals remained at a perfect temperature, emitting a mouthwatering aroma.

"Moros, thank you so much."

Eden gracefully accepted the meals, thanking Moros with a smile.

She gave a slight bow, gesturing for Moros to enter the apartment.

Moros nodded in thanks and then sat on the sofa with the two ladies.

The three sat in a small circle, enjoying the warm and peaceful time.

After enjoying the delicious meals Moros had brought, it was exactly nine in the morning.

"Elysia, are you ready?"

"Of course, there's always time reserved for you in my schedule."

Standing up, Moros lightly swept his hand through the air.

As Moros moved, a slowly rotating, ethereal blue vortex materialized before them.

"Beautiful Miss Elysia, would I be so fortunate as to invite you to explore my demiplane with me?"

To his surprise, Elysia did not immediately accept Moros's invitation.

Her eyeballs darted around, then she grabbed Eden's hand, which was wearing a black lace glove, and gently placed it into Moros's hand.

This action instantly made the atmosphere in the apartment turn subtle.

"Eden?"

Moros looked at Eden in surprise, a flicker of confusion in his eyes.

He remembered that when he had invited Elysia before, Eden had explicitly refused to tour the demiplane with him.

But now, Elysia's action left him feeling rather clueless.

Elysia, on the other hand, playfully blinked her eyes, a mysterious smile playing on her lips.

"Moros, I know Eden's charm is irresistible, but when you invite girls, you should focus more on me, you know?"

"Ally, could it be..."

Moros, after all, was a spellcaster who had managed to master Level 3 campaign spells through self-study. After a moment's thought, he understood what Elysia meant.

"That's right, just as you're thinking~"

Taking Eden's other hand, Elysia smiled and nodded.

"Eden will go with us too."

Moros looked at Eden, and saw that she was also gazing at him gently.

"You know, our Ally has her ways of persuading people."

Eden's voice revealed her indulgence and trust in Elysia.

Moros nodded in agreement.

"That's true."

Then, without further ado, he led Elysia and Eden together onto the passage to the demiplane.

Given the relationship between Eden and Elysia, it was perfectly reasonable for her to change her mind at the last minute.
