Brand New Life Online: Rise Of The Goddess Of Harvest

Chapter 954: Suspicious Individuals

-----

I decided to send not only my Lesser Spirits, which only can remain here for at most an hour, but also some of my permanent ones, including my Dragon Spirits resting within my Dragon Heart. They were all the Souls of the Dragons we defeated in the dwarf mountain, which allied me after I gave them a second chance as Dragon Spirits. Their eggs still being incubated within the Fairy Queendom.

I don't know when they'll hatch though, but whenever they do, I might tame these dragons with my new Divine Skill and add them to my Divine Beast Familiar List.

While we made our way back to the house of the four researchers, and well, the fifth addition that was resting there, my spirits approached the ruins, led by the Dragon Spirits. I told them to use their special Spirit Senses to look for any anomaly, such as Miasma, Nether, or Demonic Energies, which were very easy to detect by Spirits most of the time.

In the meantime, I checked some other System Notifications I had been ignoring.

Ding!

[The Magic Skills: [Verdant Green Domain Magic: Lv10/30] and [Yggdrasil's Spirit Magic: Lv10/30 (Evolved Skill)] have Leveled Up!]

After a lot of using them, my two Magic Skills finally Leveled Up, I think that should have unlocked some new Spells, I'll check them later.

[The Skills: [Divine Draconic Heart: Lv3] [Dragon Spirit Summon: Lv2] [Draconification: Lv2] are ready to Level Up! You have exchanged 220 Skill Points; the Skills have gained 2 Levels!]

Oh right, there are also these Skills that require Skill Points AND Skill EXP to level up, mostly these ones. I think I got two more Skills to learn out of my Skill Tree, I should learn them soon I guess.

[The Divine Beast Skill: [Divine Lightning Horn: Lv6/100 (Divine Beast Skill)] has Leveled Up to Level 48!]

[The Divine Beast Skill: [Black Vines of Steel: Lv6/100 (Divine Beast Skill)] has Leveled Up to Level 43!]

[The Divine Beast Skill: [Colony Mind: Lv8/100 (Divine Beast Skill)] has Leveled Up to Level 45!]

[The Divine Beast Skill: [Space-Traversing Eldritch Body: Lv1/100 (Divine Beast Skill)] has Leveled Up to Level 33!]

[The Divine Beast Skill: [Divine Domain Of The Holy Golden Koi Spring Palace: Lv1/100 (Divine Beast Skill)] has Leveled Up to Level 31!]

And the Divine Beast Skills had gained a bunch of Levels already. I might be able to get them to Max Level once we finish this Dungeon. Once that happens, I'll have the emotion to either Evolve them into even stronger versions of themselves or combine them to create something completely different.

[The Skill: [Heroic Legendary Sword Arts: Lv4] has Leveled Up! New Techniques have been unlocked.]

[The Skill: [Fairy Queen's Protection: Lv7] has Leveled Up! The Protection has been strengthened, and new Effects have been added.]

Looks like I also leveled these two old Skills! Well, not so old I guess. The Heroic Legendary Sword Arts is my main attacking techniques when using my weapons, and they're exceptionally strong. Then there's Fairy Queen's Protection, offering some extra defense and other effects. Which has apparently gained another effect? Let's see.

-----

[Fairy Queen's Protection: Lv8]

A Special Skill that can only be acquired through the Blessing of the Fairy Queen. This Skill can be equipped in any Skill Slot. Due to your affinity with nature and spirits, the Fairy Queen has taken a liking on you and has seen through your kind heart.

You have gained her Protection, which enhances your Physical and Magical Defense by +90%. Additionally, in a pinch, you have a small chance (90%, can increase based in LUK) to be able to block a lethal attack against you or any of your registered [Party Members] once every hour.

Alongside that, you can also enhance Barrier-type and Ward-type Magic to gain greater effects, by using Spiritual Essence, you can further enhance their Defensive Power, Healing Effects, and Special Effects by +90%.

When enhancing already existing Barrier or Ward-type Magic, you can also shape it and control its form much better, using it to either encompass your body or as a temporary, emergency weapon.

Lastly, enhances the Total Stats, Power, Duration, and Insight of all Summoned Spirits by +90%.

-----

Oh wow, it really changed! There are a few new effects, enhancement and also the ability to transform the shape of barrier and ward magic? I think I couldn't do that before. Did this appear because of my Barrier Master Title and my usage of Wards? It's interesting how Skills can adapt to a Player's abilities and new powers like this.

With this, I could imitate Brisingra a little bit, and use my powerful Divine Wards to create weapons or also to encompass myself on armor, or also friends! And the Lethal Attack blocking at 90% chance is really amazing, although it is limited to once per Hour, it's a lifesaver, and I've already seen its effects a couple of times through these last battles.

And lastly, that amazing effect at the end! With that enhancement, my spirits became much stronger. Is this why even the Lesser Spirits didn't look any longer like small masses of colorful light, but like more formed creatures? Similar to tiny animals made of the elements, or fairies.

Even the Dragon Spirits looked even larger and more "alive", resembling their previous forms much better than before.

Well, this is certainly a lot of gains!

"Master, I think we've found something!"

"Why are there so many of them here?!"

"Who are they?"

Suddenly, I heard a telepathic message from the Dragon Spirits, apparently, the Dragon Spirits reached the ruins to find something rather shocking, concerning, and alarming.

"Yes, what is it?!"

I quickly connected my eyesight with their eyes, as I saw what they were seeing.

Above the ruins, there were four figures wearing black robes, searching for things left behind, while using cleaning magic to leave no evidence behind!

"S-Stop them! Don't let them escape! I'm on my way there!" I told them.

"Roger that!"

The Four Dragon Spirits immediately went to stop them and capture them, as I quickly decided to leap into the skies and fly there.

"There are some suspicious people over the ruins! Half of you come with me! The other half go see the researchers, tell them about this!"
