Brand New Life Online: Rise Of The Goddess Of Harvest

913 Demon-Hunting Spirits

“There are four connections, four more idols… I can see it now.” I said, closing my eyes. “They’re small, but well protected. They form giant, invisible pillars of black and red flames. Creating a stronger connection with Hell than ever before. But also, the Domain of Death, slowly expanding across the entire city and its surroundings, resembling a black cloud, invisible too.”

As I explained what I could see, the Druids nodded as they heard me in silence.

“Looks like we have to hurry and find them… We’re still setting things up for the Ritual Circle to summon our lady’s power.” Said Austucia. “Planta, should we go ourselves to fetch them?”

“No, it is too dangerous. You should hide or pretend to be normal citizens for now, everyone. My spirits will take care of these things.” I said. “Using the power of all my Skills, and my Title as the Fey Wild’s Second Ruler, I’ll make a connection with that Realm and create a large group of Special Spirits. Probably High Spirits that can hide easily.”

“Should we help as well?” Johanna asked.

“If you can, keep channeling Mana and Spiritual Essence, I’ll do the rest!” I winked at her, as she nodded while blushing a bit.

The ritual continued, and I combined the energies I had gathered through various skills, abilities, and my connection to the Fey Wilds, creating a squadron of over twenty High Spirits. This time, they weren’t going to stay for like five minutes, they were staying for 7 days, which was more than enough for what we needed them to do

“[Summon High Spirits: Demon-Hunting Shades]”

FLASH! FLASH! FLASH!

The shadows materialized into the figures of tall, lanky men or women, they had pale white skin and long black hair. Everyone had though I would summon pretty-looking fairy-like spirits or something. But with Rita’s element in the ritual, I made sure to create specialized spirits by utilizing her own Dark Spirits as ingredients.

[You have summoned the High Spirits: [Demon-Hunting Shades]!]

[These High Spirits have been summoned using your Authority of the Fey Wilds, large quantities of Spirits, Spirit Essence, and Mana!]

[Their lifespan has been greatly increased to 7 Days.]

“Woah, these guys look a bit creepy, don’t they?” Johanna wondered.

“Are they really Spirits and not Ghosts?” Old man Augustus asked, squinting his eyes at the Spirits.

“They’re still obviously spirits, Augustus! Don’t be a fool!” Said Austucia. “They possess a great connection with Nature and the Spiritual Plane of the Fey Wilds! But they’re made different, stronger, stealthier, made for a purpose.”

“Master, tell us our purpose.” The largest of the Shades, resembling a tall woman with long, white hair, pale skin, empty black eyes, and wearing clothes made of flowing dark clouds, bowed before me.

“Thank you for coming. Your purpose is simple, divide into four equal groups and find these Idols. I’ve already passed into your minds the necessary information and how to track them.” I explained. “Once you find them, either take them with you and bring them to me if possible, and if it isn’t, then come back to me and tell me where you found them.”

“Understood.” They nodded, immediately dividing into four groups of five each, and quickly disappearing. They were like any spirit, capable of phasing through all physical matter, but with a few additional abilities, such as natural demon tracking skills, the power to merge with shadows, to turn completely invisible, and possessed great stealth.

“And that’s that! We’ll probably get news from them in a couple of hours, perhaps tomorrow.” I nodded. “Phew! Well, now that we’re done with this, shall we return back to Ambil’s workshop? We have to prepare to enter the Ancient Valley.”

“So it was true! You found an entrance to the Ancient Valley, Lady Planta?” Austucia asked, rather shocked.

“Yes! It was given to us by Hephaestus Divine Smithy, the entrance was already there, but we needed the key to enter. I had to make some Mythic and a Legendary Item.” I nodded. “This bracelet is one of them!”

“Wow, that is certainly a divine relic! To think you would be such an incredible blacksmith and craftsman, while simultaneously being an Yggdragon. Combining the flames and craftsmanship of races such as Dwarves with the Nature and Serenity of Spirits and Dryads, you’re truly an unique existence.” Austucia seemed amazed by me. “What does that bracelet of yours do? Perhaps a stronger magic power?”

“Oh no, it helps me cultivate!” I said.

“Cultivate? Like plants?” She wondered, rising an eyebrow.

“Hahaha, no, no, it’s something different. Let me explain it to you while we have some tea. I still need to wait for my daughter to come here. She’ll get here in an hour from now I believe.” I said.

“Sure! Let’s relax and drink some tea. I do have some cookies little Johanna brought for me. Let me share them with you all!” Granny Austucia was as nice and gentle as ever.

“Granny you’re giving away the cookies I bought for you?!” Johanna got slightly angrily.

“Don’t worry, I’ll share some I have myself too! Come on, let’s just rest. We are all a bit tired after all.” I giggled.

Granny Austucia prepared some nice herbal tea for everyone, inviting Angelina and her friends as well. They were going to definitely join us in the exploration of the Ancient Valley, so our party was shaping itself to be gigantic. Whatever challenge we find inside is going to get demolished.

“I see! So that’s the cultivation you meant. I have never left this continent. The Verdant Continent is immense, and it covers over half of this world. But to think there’s more continents out there aside from the Demon King’s Continent…” Said Austucia. “The Eastern Continent, huh? Sounds like an interesting place to explore.”

“So that’s where the Techniques that Knights and Fighters utilize to grow stronger come from, huh?” Johanna nodded.

“And that bracelet… Will help you transform Mana and Spirit Essence into this Ki energy?” Augustus asked.

“Yeah, pretty much. It’ll unlock my three meridians over time. I need to do this if I want to grow physically stronger.” I said. “And-”

Knock, knock! ℴ

Suddenly, the door of the Druid Guild was knocked, as it was hastily opened, my daughter and her friends stepped in.

“Mom? Are you there? Ugh, it’s all damp and dark in here.”
