Brand New Life Online: Rise Of The Goddess Of Harvest

Chapter 442 New Spells And Strategies

-----

Not only I had improved to Tier 1 Rank 5 in a flash, but I had a total of a bit over 500 Spiritual Runes, the power of these Runes were so strong it made it so spirits from our surroundings started swarming me, mostly curiously. They were way smaller and weaker than Arcadia's spirits, but as the days went by, I noticed more and more spirits appearing everywhere.

Maybe as the world slowly absorbs and gets used to Mana, more Spirits are naturally born, and, as an effect of their existence, magical powers, effects, creatures, and more also are strengthened. It could be said that its something similar to the past of Earth when algae completely changed the planet's atmosphere by filling it with Oxygen.

So the more days that go by, the more spirits there will be to help me out. The first day I got my magic I could barely feel any spirit, but today there were a decent amount of them, enough to help me conjure a mud golem to fight the fish, and even some others to strengthen my Elemental Shield…

Mark and Rita had also become stronger, both also now had a bit over 500 of their accumulated Runes. The Great Spirit made sure they could also get some Spiritual Runes in between by modifying the magic circles, although they don't have as many as I have, they should have at least 150 of them by now, enough to awaken more of their spiritual powers.

As of my new Spells? I managed to evolve the [Spirit Call] Spell that randomly summons Elemental Spirits around me to their specific, stronger versions such as [Fire Spirit Call], [Wind Spirit Call], and [Earth Spirit Call]!

Also a big chunk of my Spirit Runes were spent to create the [Spirit Fusion] Spell as well, one of the strongest so far! It is not as strong as the Skill in Arcadia, but it should be able to do similar things, although to a more reduced level of power, depending in my own maximum Mana.

However, that's not all, I also got myself [Spirit Infusion] right away, and a few other low level nature spells that'll evolve over time such as [Seed Creation], [Wooden Barrier], and [Wooden Spear], the last one doesn't actually exist as a spell in Arcadia for some reason.

But the best effect of having so many Runes were the relaxing feeling of having been healed of all exhaustion… ..

"I feel so much Mana and Spiritual Energy flowing… Ahh, this is so relaxing. Do we even need to sleep at this point?" I wondered. "Even when we barely sleep, we always feel energetic and good."

"Mana has that effect on your body, it makes it very resilient. The [Mana Breathing Technique] specializes on healing the body as well as strengthening, this also includes mental exhaustion in the head. Though sleeping is still recommended to settle things down correctly! So for now, all of you should go take a nap." The Great Spirit said. "Tomorrow after your normie activities, we'll be hunting for the last time."

"The last time?" Asked Rita. "But we've gotta grind some more! Agh, also we need to go back to Arcadia soon!"

"That's why I am saying that it will be our last hunt before the big event begins." The Great Spirit sighed. "Phantasmos is drawing closer. Until we get rid of him and we get this immediate danger out of our path, we can't really go back to Arcadia willy-nilly! That's my home so of course I want to go there and save that world, the forces of the Demon King of Death must be drawing closer as we speak too…"

"Phantasmos, now that my Mana has amplified, yeah, I can feel a deadly, annoying presence drawing closer… So it's true, he really knows about the identity behind the World Tree as Elayne and wants her dead." Sighed Mark. "I won't let that happen. I'll use this power to burn him to a crisp."

"That's the spirit! Ooh, I like that bad boy vibe on you!" Giggled the Great Spirit.

"Bad boy…?" Mark felt confused.

"Hahaha, just ignore her." I sighed. "Anyways, probably past tomorrow, he'll arrive. And if our speculation is true, he'll come with tons of Hollows accompanying him. Thankfully we've put Charms everywhere we could around town, so they won't be able to easily infiltrate inside the town…"

"Though this also means we'll find a lot of them in the outskirts, so when we go hunting, we might find dozens of them grouped up." The Great Spirit said. "This boost you got now will come in handy for your survival! Also, make sure to get yourselves more equipment. We couldn't get ourselves into monster materials this night, but you should be able to make decent stuff using low grade materials inside of your inventory."

"Yeah, and now that I have Spirit Fusion and Spirit Infusion, we can make magic weapons, armors, and shields much stronger than before!" I said with a smile.

"Oooh! I wonder if we could craft things?" Mark wondered. "I want to make some totems to ready my Spirit Magic as well."

"Just carve some wood for that." Said Rita while shrugging. "Hey, how about we put a Potential Cue in Mark's car instead?"

Suddenly, both Mark and I stared at Rita in shock.

How did we never had that idea before?!

"Y-You're right! If we can use those in just anything that is an object then… A magic car could be possible!" Said Mark.

"Right! Rita you're a genius!" I said with a smile.

"Yeah, yeah, I know." Rita smiled proudly. "Though, I kind of want to go take a nap for now, so let's leave that for tomorrow."

"Right, let's go then." I nodded.

Like that, we quickly returned to our rooms to rest until the next morning. I also had many plans of my own using the newly acquired spells, heh.

Oh, by the way, after munching on the big D Rank Hollow Crystal when we weren't looking at, Blackie ended becoming a Tier 1 Rank 4 Magic Beast, or in rank terms, he became E+ Rank.
