FLUOOOSSH!
Ding!
[Your Terrain has continued to expand!] ．
[You gained +10 Tiles]
[You gained +5 Tiles]
[You gained +6 Tiles…]
[The Effects of the Terrain have been enhanced!]
As I killed those two Rhinoceros Beetles made of Crystal and saw them explode into particles of light, I saw as my Terrain continued to expand greatly. The powers I have attained and evolved had become truly amazing, and it wasn’t even over yet.
POOF!
POOF!
POOF!
POOF!
Because the main dish was about to be served! The many monsters rushing towards me suddenly were stopped as they saw strange plants sprout out of the Spiritual Soil.
A bold Crystal Mantis didn’t cared and swung its large and sharp blades, attempting to slice the plant that got into its way.
SLAAASH!
However, the plant bud suddenly transformed, becoming a spiraling tornado of wind with a small little and adorable face made out of two dots of light.
“Fofooo!”
FLUOOOSH!
And an enormous gust of winds hit the Mantis, piercing through its crystal exoskeleton, and launching the monster all the way to the ceiling.
BAAAM!
“GRAAAKHH…”
The Mantis gave a strange groan, as if it had lost all the oxygen of its body and then fell off from the ceiling into the ground, exploding into particles of light.
The other monsters, as brainwashed as they were, stopped walking towards the plants, as they suddenly were seen as natural landmines.
And indeed they were! This is all thanks to the Terrain’s effect when it interacts with the effect of Spiritual Soil and Spiritual Farming Tool Mastery:
—–
There’s a 30% chance for each Tile Created to suddenly sprout a [Spiritual Bud], once nourished with MP, Water, Life Energy, or Spiritual Energy, the [Spiritual Bud] might evolve into a Random Elemental Spirit (Earth, Fire, Wind, Water).
In Battle, the Spirit will unleash a powerful attack and stay fighting for up to 5 Minutes, and in not battle scenarios, the spirit will remain around the Tiles and might bless the farms and anything it sees until it flies away.
—–
These were Spiritual Buds! They can drain energy from several sources, even the soil itself and the terrain they were born with, once a monster gets closer to them, they’ll sprout into elemental spirits of the four elements and randomly fight for five minutes.
Yes, that little tornado was a Wind Spirit, and it has yet to satiate its hunger for the lives of these slightly pitiful monsters. To live is to fight!
…Damn, I’ve changed a lot since the game started.
“GRRRRRR!”
One of the Beetles ignored what happened and charged forward. The Wind Spirit noticed it and then unleashed several slicing winds against the enormous insectoid behemoth.
SLAAASH! SLAAASH! SLAAASH!
“SHAAA!”
However, the beetle tanked all the magical attacks and pushed forward, trying to pierce through the wind spirit’s body, but it was made of winds so normal blows wouldn’t work. …And the spirit also had friends. The other Spiritual Buds quickly noticed danger as they sprouted into tiny spirits of all kinds!
A blazing spirit emerged, falling over the beetle and unleashing blazing flames, an earth spirit appeared, shaping the earth below the monster, and making it fall over a small hole. And then a water spirit appeared, throwing water over the beetle, and attempting to drown it.
“BBRRRGGHHH…”
The beetle started to drown, just before the fire spirit began to boil the water until the entire beetle was boiled alive… Ouch, this felt a bit pitiful. Are the spirits this merciless?!
“Gyeehehehe…”
“Fufueheheh…”
“Fwahahah…”
“Hehehe…”
They began to laugh like little children, but their cute faces looked rather terrifying right now… Spirits born from Terrain are a completely different breed from the ones from Dragon Veins, you don’t mess with these guys!
“SHAAA!”
One of the Crystal Mantises rushed forward and then swung its blade-like arms, attempting to slice through me with its superior speed and the pair of wings it used to leap at me with fast speed.
CLAAASH!
I intercepted the mantis with my Pickaxe and then I shapeshifted my free hand into countless vines, entangling the entire mantis and then hardening the vines into wood, trapping the entire mantis on place.
“SHAAA!”
CRASH!
It tried to slice through the wood trapping it, but I used this opportunity to fight, aiming at its shiny and hard crystal exoskeleton, which counted as an item to mine through the Mining Skill!
CLAAAASH!
The enormous hit unlashed a shockwave, paralyzing the other six mantises trying to catch me with their deadly blades. The one I hit shattered into pieces and disappeared into particles of light, while the remaining six looked at me with utter horror! Their boost with Miasma wasn’t going to do anything against the power of mining and farming together, they’re the best combination!
“Spirits! Do your thing!”
“Foooo!”
“Waaah!”
“Hehehehe!”
“Fuwaah!”
These spirits were not weak at all, and didn’t cost any MP to bring out but an intricate combination of Skills, and also proper set up by setting up a Terrain, which takes several minutes. But once you have everything set up, the spirits can do your job quite easily.
SLAAASH!
Slicing Winds sliced through the Mantises with great speed and slicing power.
FLUOOSH!
Dozens of Fireballs burned them alive.
SPLAAASH!
Spear-shaped water pierced through their bodies.
CRAAASH!
And medium-sized boulders crushed them into the ground one by one, finishing them off.
I already had a party of over ten tiny spirits, and they were doing a wonderful job by themselves.
However, the monsters were a ton, so I wasn’t doing everything thanks to the spirits themselves, my familiars were helping a lot.
Aside from Belle crushing everything within the air, there was Silver as well, wrecking the frontlines with everything she had. Water magic devasted her surroundings as her enormous body swept through the smaller foes.
Mimy used her large defense to act as a tank and bring the attention of the heavy hitters, using shield techniques to resist and then reflect a bit of damage dealt, while using her sword to parry their blows and then slice their heads off!
And of course, Loki used her vines to trap many monsters and drain out their vitality while laughing evilly.
And yeah, the tiny new summons were looking at the massacre innocently while earning tons of shared EXP!
