Chapter 823 Remi's Ocean Heart
The Guard's eyes had a faint longing look as he stared at the Heart of the Ocean in Remi's arms.
"They say that if a water element beast, monster, or demon can absorb the powers of the Heart in its entirety, they will undergo an evolution, surpassing the limits of their species.
This one is one of the weaker ones, I believe. The hearts are usually a Mythical Treasure that Kings use to help their offspring advance. I remember three hundred years ago, the Lord got one for his oldest son, who was born with the water attribute.
The boy wasn't even twenty at the time, and the Mythical Grade heart took him straight from Monarch Ranked to Totem.
The whole city watched the show. If you happen to get to the Castle Library or one of the larger bookstores, there are a number of volumes written about the spectacle it made." The Guard explained.
Fortunately for Remi, the Demon speaking was not of the Water Element, and he was already a Totem. Though, perhaps he had some hope that it would let one of the other District Overseers advance to Mythic Rank. That would certainly lead them to a huge promotion within the nation, and perhaps even a major city to rule over.
{Absorb the power in its entirety? I think that I can do that.} Remi announced.
The Totems smiled at her, and the one who had been speaking patted her on the head.
"You are an ambitious one, little Naga Queen. But Naga are Water Monsters just as much as the flying whales are. Perhaps you really could absorb it on your own without the Lord and hundreds of special potions."
Remi nodded happily as she cradled the large stone in all four arms, and tilted her head as if considering simply eating the thing. But she didn't want to do that in front of so many people, in case the attempt didn't work, and she had to spit it back out. That would just be embarrassing.
Instead, she returned to her altar and wrapped herself around the small statue of the Shaman God. The Divine Shaman statue should be good luck, and the Heart of the Ocean was an Elemental treasure, perfectly suited for a Shaman of the Water Element.
She added power to the statue for luck, and then carefully cleaned the Heart of the Ocean, before wrapping her mouth around it and swallowing the half metre egg shaped stone whole.
It moved slowly past her throat and chest cavity, then stopped at the first chamber of her long stomach, which made Remi giggle at the appearance. She looked like a pregnant human from the waist up. Not a pregnant Naga, their eggs grew in a row further down the body, but the Heart of the Ocean made a distinct round bump under her rib cage.
From what it could understand, the Naga Queen was undergoing an evolution of some sort, as well as breaking through to the Overlord Rank.
Remi's vision was blocked by the intense blue light emanating from her body, but after a few minutes she felt that begin to fade as the Heart of the Ocean was shrinking inside her. Its power was used up, and its legacy was imparted, leaving only the shell to be absorbed as nutrients by Remi's body.
Soon, even that was finished, and Remi looked down at herself in shock.
[I shrunk.]
Rae nodded in agreement. [Yes, you did. You're cute, though. I like the new colour scheme.]
Her underside, including the humanoid upper body bits, including the front of her hood and her serpentine head, had faded to cream white, with a rich brown back, and bronze diamond patterns on her scales.
She was exquisitely smooth, the scales supple as Rae's silk, but when Remi dragged a claw down one, she found that they were surprisingly durable. So, she checked her own status with the System interface.
