Lucy's Breakthrough!

After eighteen months of stagnation, Lucy got her breakthrough!

Before, the bond she had with her beast was thin and limited, so there was a separation and no connection between the summoner and the summon. Thus, they never felt integrated spiritually as a master and a beast should.

But now that separation between Lucy and her beast, the Malefic Spider, was not there anymore.

This must be the feeling of breakthrough, Lucy thought!

Clear as day and as lucid as a nightmare!

Her soul was jumping, too exuberant to accommodate, so it came out in the form of aura—the sign of the breakthrough. Now that distance she once had with her beast was slim, and from slim to nothing. Her soul finally entertained the spirit of the Malefic Spider through and through.

Lilith also felt the breakthrough, but from her perspective as the beast.
