When the explosion of light subsided and the incomplete Level 3 Psyche-type Energy melded with the existing Psyche Energy inside the Pocket Dimension, the Orb that should've normally been back on my hand by now remained floating in the middle where the flower was.

Upon seeing that, Zerina and the others cautiously moved to my side as we watched the changes happening to it together.

Disregarding the fact that the Pocket Dimension was now expanding, all our attention was focused on the five Orbs.

Along with their surprised gasps, the five Orbs shined anew when the newly-formed Level 3 Earth Energy washed over it.

It's not as blinding as before so what's happening to the Orbs was all witnessed by us.

It started absorbing the new Level 3 Earth Energy, nourishing itself.

It's not the same as when I was activating the Orbs, they're literally absorbing Energy to fill themselves once more. Perhaps because whatever's locked inside the Orbs was already used up for restoring every Pocket Dimension, another mechanism was activated and that's for reverting the Orbs to their real form.

As its glow continued to become intense, time slowly passed.

One minute.

Two minutes.

Five minutes.

After five minutes, the already deformed spherical shapes of the Orbs expanded. By now, it's already wrong to say that they were Orbs.

As they continued to absorb more energy, another blinding explosion of light covered our sight.

Along with it five beams of light shot out and hit my body.

When that happened, five system notifications entered my mind.

[You awakened one of your repressed Skills : Void Concealment]

[You awakened one of your repressed Skills : Enhancement Aura]

[You awakened one of your repressed Skills : Ailment Fog]

[You awakened one of your repressed Skills : Defense Reinforcement]

[You awakened one of your repressed Skills : Random Improvement]

Upon reading all of those, the knowledge about the repressed Skills instantly filled my mind. Instead of getting the five Orbs back, those beams of light that came from each of them awakened something in me.

The Skills were called repressed, it's already something that was existing within me… Only by awakening those Orbs did it resurface.

Well, reading its description the Skill effects were almost the same as the Orbs except, it was enhanced to a certain extent.

Void Concealment can now be used anytime. It could be turned on and off. However, the same as the other sustained Skills like Energy Amplification, Domain of Valor, Bulwark of Invulnerability and Bedevilled Outburst, it has an activation cost and maintaining cost. And like the original Orb, the higher the number of people that were concealed, the greater the cost.

Considering it has a time limit and a cooldown before this is a lot better.

Moreover, with the Void in its name… Void Elemental Energy can now be used to enhance it. By applying it, it will not just be a normal concealment wherein I can be detected if touched or scraped by any offensive Energy attacks. The Void Elemental Energy will be sending me to some kind of Void Dimension wherein it's harder for even those stronger than me to detect. To be more precise, unless they also understood the existence of Aether or Void Elemental Energy they needed stronger Energy Control than me to detect it.

Naturally, it will still be impossible to phase through obstacles be it Physical or Energy ones. I can only phase when I'm in my Energy Incarnate Form.

Well, before checking the other four, I was more concerned about what happened to the five Orbs. Did they vanish or...?

"A cape?"

"Oh! A necklace."

"I like this better. A ring! Hehe."

"I see. This shield isn't that bad. It fits me."

"I can now change my old staff with this. Thank you, darling!"

Before I could ask them, the five women's voices entered my ears. The shining Orbs earlier had already changed their forms and were silently hovering in front of them.

All five items were still exuding some kind of aura that was probably from the remnants of what it was before.

In front of Zerina, a black and silver cape was fluttering in the wind.

In front of Avelin, a necklace with a pendant that appeared to be a precious green gemstone in the shape of a star.

In front of Jayna, a purple crystal-studded ring that looked luxurious yet emitting some kind of malevolent aura.

In front of Nysia, a rhombus sanguine shield adorned by sharp-looking spikes.

In front of Sofiel, a golden angelic staff with a luminescent crystalline stone on its tip. It's glowing with a spectrum of light that is ever-changing.

After a while, each of those items calmly landed on their hands.

Zerina's cape fitted perfectly behind her giving her a more majestic look along with her ash-grey armor.

After a while, the cape behind her fluttered and she seemingly vanished from our sight.

Well, with my Energy Control at the moment, I could detect the soft fluctuations of energy on the place where she vanished. That fluctuation then seemingly moved closer until it reached behind me.

A few seconds after that, I felt something resting on my right shoulder before two armguard-covered arms slipped from my side and rested on my navel.

Obviously, it's Zerina who undid her Concealment. As I turned my eyes to her, she was giggling in a satisfied manner as her arms tightened on me.

"Sister Zerina, that's unfair!" Avelin, who's already wearing the necklace, complained upon seeing Zerina appearing behind me.

"I only tried the cape, Avelin, can you let me off with this?"

"Uhh… Alright."

Somewhat convinced with Zerina's reason, Avelin nodded in the end.

"This ring… it fits perfectly on my finger. Daisuke, if father and mother see this. They will think we're already married."

Jayna who was admiring the ring on her ring finger said. Although it's still exuding that malevolent aura, she disregarded it when she started thinking about our promise to marry and become each other's spirit-pair.

"I also like this, husband. Not only can it activate a stronger effect than the Orb of Reinforcement, but it can also reflect an attack. Un. I can protect you better with this."

Nysia was also happily checking out her new shield. Unlike a normal shield, she could freely adjust its size using her Energy. So it's possible for her to use the shield even when she's piloting her Ultimate Metagen.

"Darling, thank you. I'll treasure this and use this to remove any obstacles that will hinder us."

With a devilish smile on her lips that was contrasting with her angelic and holy appearance, Sofiel waved her new staff while casting her mastered Elemental Spells.

Because of the luminescent crystal, those Elemental Spells were all randomized, there were some who were enlarged, shrunk or even Transformed. Well, she could control it to an extent and perhaps when she got the hang of using it, she'll be more versatile.

Even if I didn't check, what they got were the awakened Orbs. Proving my guess again.

They're pieces of equipment that were imbued by the repressed Skills that I awakened…

Did I create those during my previous life? Moreover, seeing how each piece fitted them… my previous self probably created them specifically for these five girls.

"Un. It all fitted you. As it turns out, the true form of the Orbs were originally yours. Use it well."

After saying that, I grabbed Zerina's arm to prevent her from retracting it. I liked the feeling of being hugged by this girl who was always considerate to other girls.

Before leaving the Pocket Dimension and seeing the completion of our task, we spent a few minutes testing their Skill-imbued Equipment.

[Ding!]
