Abe the Wizard

Chapter 285 - Spirit Bearing

Chapter 285 Spirit Bearing

The seed of the oak tree quickly began to sprout above the ground. Abel watched as the green little sprout sucked up the mana in the air with its power of the will.

To his surprise, the thick fog of mana within the air began to decrease. This little oak tree’s ability to consume mana was too strong. Even he could not consume that much.

Abel threw a perfect red gem next to the baby oak tree sprout. Soon afterward, a little root came out from the ground and surrounded it. He could see the growth of this little sprout. It had reached around 10 meters in just a few minutes, and that perfect red gem surrounded by the roots continued to decrease in size.

It seemed like the perfect red gem could speed up the growth of this oak tree, so Abel took out another 5 perfect red gems and placed it next to its roots. Soon, those roots had tightly surrounded the 5 perfect red gems as well.

Abel would only waste high-quality material like this because he could combine perfect red gems through the Horadric Cube. Normally, these perfect gems were not made for personal use. They were the purest and the most powerful source of energy, so they were almost exclusively used to power large scale magic circles. On top of that, the fundamental attribute of the Horadric cube when it came to combining was already perfect. Therefore, these perfect red gems could not get any more pure and natural, and it was perfect for the oak tree’s consumption.

The oak tree with spirit had a special nature. Within 4 hours, this oak would continue to grow as long as it was given enough energy. As for the spirit, it would not stop growing for another 1-10 days.

Oak trees were tree gods within the eyes of elves. They could often grow very big, but it would stop once it hits 40 meters of height. Afterward, it would start growing horizontally.

Abel was ruthless. He took out another 10 perfect red gems and neatly lined them up under the oak tree. He could sense the oak tree was very happy through this power of the will. The mana concentration was already very dense in Blood Moor. On top of the mana gathering circle, it’s mana concentration had almost become water vapor like. Now Abel had put an extra 10 perfect red gem; this might be the most lavish spirit bearing in the history of druids.

The oak tree grew from 1 meter to 2 meters, 5 meters to 10 meters. It was almost growing non stop every minute. After half a day, the oak tree had already become a 30-meter giant.

Abel was a little confused. The oak tree was already so tall, so how come the spirit still didn’t come out? He took it out and flipped it around for a bit. He found nothing, seemed like the only thing he could do now was add some more energy and keep waiting.

Waiting was not something Abel would like to do with his personality, so he took out another 10 perfect red gems and placed it under the oak tree. 10 giant roots wrapped around the gems, and soon, the tree branches began to make huge rattling sounds of the tree growing. The 10 gems disappeared in almost no time. Through Abel’s power of the will, he could sense every branch of his oak tree had an extremely strong life force.

Both the perfect red gems and the mana given by the mana gathering circle had given the oak tree a lot of energy, which had all turned into an ocean like life force for the tree.

The growth of the oak tree began to slow down after it reached 30 meters, and it had reached 40 meters after 20 hours. By this point, Abel sensed that the oak tree needed more energy. The branch of the tree began to shake as though it was calling Abel.

Abel placed another 10 perfect red gems next to the roots without hesitation. Almost immediately, 10 giant roots appeared and wrapped the gems tightly.

The trunk of the tree continued to get wider. The tree could surround 8 people. It seemed a tree this big was rare even in the Double Moon forest, and it still had not stopped growing wider.

After 23 hours, the oak tree had already stopped growing for 30 minutes. The tree had reached its limit. It was meters tall, and the area it’s leaves and branches had also spread to around 40 meters.

Just when Abel thought the oak tree had stopped growing, he heard a cracking sound. The surface of the tree began to open up, exposing the inside. The hole got bigger and bigger, as the trunk grew away from it. In the end, there was a huge empty hole in the middle of the tree.

It seemed like this self cracking method had penetrated the limit of the oak tree, as it started to grow crazily upward again. Since Abel had his power of the will connected to it, he could feel the oak tree was completely different. It was a new being now.

Although its growth had gotten slower, the oak tree didn’t reach its limit even after 24 hours.

By this point, Abel noticed a weird spot in the core of the oak tree. Since his power of the will had remained inside the oak tree, it had also grown along with the tree, spreading throughout its branches. When this weird spot emerged, all of his power of the will was quickly dragged towards it in the oak tree’s core.

Abel finally realized the most crucial step when it came to cultivating a soul. During the process, his power of the will inside the tree had grown alongside the tree. If he withdrew this power of the will, maybe his power of the will would increase a little. But no elf would risk their only chance to become a Druid for that.

After all of Abel’s power of the will was gathered by this weird spot in the core of the oak tree, some kind of green energy began to nourish this power of the will. Slowly, they began to thicken. At last, a round call emerged from the core of the oak tree.

A ball with a golden flew out from the tree trunk, under the gaze of Abel. With the guidance of a string of power of the will, it flew directly inside the Druid soul.

The Druid soul was almost entirely green inside, and that golden ball that had just entered was like a sun, adding a ray of bliss among the patch of green. By this point, Abel’s intuition felt completely different when he entered his druid soul. He could feel the pureness of every little grass next to him, how they desired the nourishment of groundwater, and their respect for the big tree next to them.

Under the shine of the golden ball, Abel could feel the group of contract signs turning gold within his Druid soul. He could feel their connections deepen once again.

What just happened was an elemental change. All the contract signs that had been forcefully transferred to Abel had now fully become Abel’s.

From then on, Abel had truly become a Druid. Although this occupation was grasped by his druid soul, he could still learn new spells and increase his ability through them.

Of course, It would take Abel a long time to learn a Druid’s spell from the beginning, so the best way to increase ability now was to further level up his druid’s summons.

Abel’s Wizard spells were not at an extremely high level in the first place anyway, so how would he have any time to learn other spells such as the Druid’s elemental spells. He also didn’t really need to learn any appearance changing spells since he could not use any attacking spells after he changed his appearance. Attacking spells were his best method of defense at the time.

After the spirit bearing had completed, the oak tree still remained in contact with Abel. It seemed like it had become some kind of contracted plant to Abel.
