Chapter 282: Cradle Of Spirits Part 2

Chapter 282: Cradle Of Spirits Part 2

Nix spends a few minutes assessing her surroundings before focusing her attention on a certain place, then she focuses her attention on me. 

  "I found a good spot, on the shore of the lake facing the waterfall."  (Nix) 

  "From that spot as the center the size, I imagine to be the same as Layla's Cradle of Fairies should be enough."  (Nix) 

  "That size will include the entire lake, the waterfall, the flower field, and half the trees in the valley."  (Nix) 

  "So let's start?"  (I) 

  "Before, it would be better if the master asked Layla to evacuate everyone from the 4th floor of the mansion."  (Nix) 

  "I had forgotten about that, well remembered."  (I) 

  "We're going to need the empty floor to integrate this place into the Dungeon, but why would you want to put your Cradle of Spirits on the same floor as the Cradle of Fairies?"  (I) 

  "Because then it'll be better for me to take care of him, besides that won't be a problem, so you don't have to."  (Nix) 

  "But I forgot to inform the master that while you were sleeping I freed all the bodies from the last battle on the second floor and got a lot of DP." (Nix) 

  "I thought you ate them."  (I) 

  "I didn't eat anything, all I did was absorb the shadows that were imprisoning the bodies in my shadow, my own body can be considered your shadow, after that, I released everything inside the Dungeon when I woke up."  (Nix) 

  "I see, I'm glad I got some DP."  (I) 

  "I wanted the master's permission to expand the 4th floor with these points, may I?"  (Nix) 

  "Yes you can, I imagine it's to have enough space for your Cradle of Spirits."  (I) 

  "Exactly that, so I'm going to need everyone off the floor, I could send everyone out of the Dungeon, but that would cost DP and would be a very rude thing to do to our guests."  (Nix) 

  "From what you said this will take a few hours, so it should be time for everyone to leave the mansion floor, I'll let Layla know now."  (I) 

  I try to contact Layla but I can't, I think it's because she is inside the Dungeon, so I enter the Dungeon gate and go to the fourth floor safe room before trying to talk to Layla again. 

  "(Layla, can you hear me?)" (I) 

  "(Huh!? Master?)" (Layla) 

  "(Ask everyone to leave the 4th floor, Nix and I are going to make some modifications, tell them to set up temporary camp on the 3rd floor for a few hours, I want the 4th floor empty.)" (I) 

  "(You must be doing the Cradle of Spirits, right?)" (Layla) 

  "(Yes, but we are also going to expand the fourth floor, don't tell anyone what we're doing.)" (I) 

  "(Okay.)" (Layla) 

  After talking to Layla I head back to the first floor before exiting the Dungeon and heading to Nix. 

  "I already warned Layla, everything should be sorted out by the time we're done."  (I) 

  "Then let's not waste any more time."  (Nix) 

  I go down the waterfall with Nix and we use our very similar wings to fly over the lake and land on the lakeshore facing the waterfall. 

  "We can sit here, I don't think there are any other monsters around."  (Nix) 

  "Let's sit cross-legged facing each other so let's put our hands together, I'll guide you through the whole process."  (Nix) 

  "All right."  (I) 

  I sit cross-legged facing Nix, so we bring our palms together in our midst. 

  "Master, I'm going to expand my Aura over all the terrain we're going to work on, I want you to use all your Aura skills, I talked to Sophia and she told me that it will help you to control your normal Aura."  (Nix) 

  "Yeah, I don't have control over my normal Aura yet, Sophia taught me a trick that I have to use my Aura abilities as an indirect means to control my normal Aura, that's something I've been trying to get used to."  (I) 

  "But using all my Auras at the same time helps me a little."  (I) 

  "So do that, make your Auras go all over the place where my Aura is going to be, after that we'll try to sync our Auras through our connection."  (Nix) 

  "OK."  (I) 

  I feel for the first time the Aura of Nix, to my eyes, it was as if I could see her Dragon form behind her roaring towards the skies, her Aura was powerful, calm, and commanding, she had great dignity, I felt very comfortable to get in touch with your Aura. 

  While I was distracted trying to understand Nix's Aura all the ground she talked about in the beginning was filled with her Aura, by the expression on Nix's face I can tell that this is not an easy thing to do. 

  Sigh 

  "Your turn, master."  (Nix) 

  "" (I) 

  I close my eyes and try to clear my mind as if I am going to start meditating, then I activate all my Auras at the same time, I feel the Auras leaving my body and intertwining with each other until they become one Aura, I use this Aura to pull something more out of me. 

  Argh!! 

  "" (I) 

  This is harder than I thought, unlike Nix who did it quickly, it took me over thirty minutes to spread my Aura all over the place like Nix did. 

  The worst thing was that I was having information overload in my head right now, an image of this whole place was popping up in real-time in my head as if I could see everything at once in a slightly blurry way, but it was making my head hurt, it was getting harder and harder to maintain my concentration. 

  "You've done very well so far master, Sophia told me something like this could happen, but I didn't think it would be that bad."  (Nix) 

  "Try to focus on our connection, use that for your Aura to interact with mine, accept my Aura with yours and imagine the two mixing together like the waters of two rivers becoming one."  (Nix) 

  "" (I) 

  I couldn't speak, I couldn't get distracted for a second or it would mess everything up, so I just try to follow Nix's words. 

  I feel our connection, I try to shift my attention just a little bit using parallel thinking to do both things at the same time and feel that connection, and in a few seconds I feel my Aura and Nix's that were separate before like water and oil. mixing. 

  I don't know what she meant by accepting, that part was easier than I thought. 

  "That was quick, I didn't know the master would accept me so deeply into his heart" (Nix) 

  I could hear Nix's happy voice, but I'm not in a condition where I can think about those kinds of things right now. 

  "Let the two Auras blend together like two layers of the same thing, that will allow me to help you a little."  (Nix) 

  I follow Nix's guidance, soon I can feel her in my mind too, I can feel her presence in my Aura, little by little the image of the surrounding terrain disappears until it's just me and Nix in my mind, I felt like a weight had been taken out of me. 

  "This is amazing" (Nix) 

  "" (I) 

  cough cough 

  "Now master, you can use the same elemental Affinities as I and I can use the same as you, we will both use these elemental Affinities to find the pure energy of the Dark, Moon, and Water elements."  (Nix) 

  "After that, we're going to expel everything else other than these three from this space, so we're going to use our spiritual energy to fill this whole place and try to purify all the malice that's in here, got it?"  (Nix) 

  "Yea."  (I) 

  "We have to do this together, let's get started."  (Nix) 

  Soon I feel these three types of energy that Nix talked about, but it didn't just have the pure spirit energy, there was elemental mana, elemental Ki, and elemental spirit energy, but I felt that Nix wanted to get rid of everyone and leave only the pure energy that seemed stronger. 

  This process was long, I didn't even know how long it took, but I felt others doing the same as me and Nix, they must be the Spirits that Nix brought, it made the work a little faster. 

  As soon as only these three pure elements were inside the space where my Aura and Nix's were we started trying to purify the malice that the miasma spread, this was a disgusting process, the malice felt like some kind of dirt that sticks to everything it touches, Nix and I used spirit energy to wash away this dirt and push it out, it took longer than trying to flush out the other elements. 

  I didn't know how much time had passed when we were finally done, I felt tired, but I knew there were still things I needed to do. 

  "Now we have to balance these three pure elements, they have to have the same amounts spread out all over this space."  (Nix) 

  "" (I) 

  This was a quick job thanks to the experience of having done something similar expelling the other elements from this place, in a short time the elemental energies of Darkness, Moon, and Water were in the same amounts scattered all over this place. 

  "We're already on the last part, master."  (Nix) 

  "This time you can leave all the work to me, we need to use our Auras to harmonize with the environment while harmonizing these three pure elements with our Auras and the environment."  (Nix) 

  "Usually this is the most difficult step and it can take the longest, it's also something that can't be done anywhere, but thanks to you being a child of a God that's no problem, you may not know it master, but there is a trace of divinity in your Aura, it doesn't do you any good, but it can come in handy at such times."  (Nix) 

  "I know you can't control your Aura, so let me control my Aura and manipulate yours to do this, you just have to accompany me, it should be quick."  (Nix) 

  I follow what Nix says, I feel her trying to connect with the environment, soon my mind that was already tired and bombarded with excess information again when the image of this whole place appears again in my mind, this time I feel more familiar with it. this place, but my mind is about to explode. 

  Before long I feel like a connection is forming between my Aura and this place, I feel like my Aura and Nix's are taking root all over this place, I also feel the pure elemental energy using these roots as a connection to flow throughout this place until something seems to click, then unique energy is born between me and Nix spreading throughout this place. 

  At this moment I feel energy balls forming and I also feel the Spirits flying around me, at this moment I feel as if a part of my Aura and Nix's have been engraved in this environment, so my Aura separates from Nix and no strength to control back inside of me before I fall backwards to the floor as I open my eyes. 

  My body was covered in sweat and I felt weak, I could feel that my spiritual energy was completely depleted, I was struggling just to keep my eyes open to see this beautiful starry sky in front of me. 

  "You did a great job, you can rest now, Master."  (Nix) 

  "" (I) 

  I see Nix in the corner of my eyes, she comes closer and runs her hands through my hair, it calms me down and then I let myself be consumed by weakness and tiredness. 

  Zzzzzzz

  Zzzzz

  Zzzz.
