-----

Riven used his Aura of Gluttony to rapidly consume all the corpses in front of him, feeling both a surge of new power and also a refreshing feeling all across his body.

[Talent Devourer: Success.]

[Skill Acquired: [Ruler of the Swamp – Level 1]: You are the Ruler of the Swamp; you can summon forth a Domain of the Swamp where a magical and spiritual swamp will take over the surrounding land. You can control this Domain’s mud, trees, water, and soil as you see fit. Expanding it and anchoring it into the Land in front of you will allow you to create a Spiritual Domain to both gather resources, power, and form a barrier to isolate yourself from the outside world. The Spiritual Domain will generate its own Spiritual Energy and Mana that will then transfer to you, exponentially increasing your maximum pool of usable magical energies. Within this land you can perform Druidic Rituals, summoning High Spirits and Swamp Monsters to fight for you temporarily, among many other things. A Skill that reflects the Swamp Witch’s desires and power.]

[x10,000 Reward Multiplier Activated!]

[Skill: [Ruler of the Swamp – Level 1] has been multiplied by x10,000!]

[You have learned the Skill: [Spirit King Of the Land – Level 1]: You cannot summon a Swamp anymore and instead can take over the entire surrounding land, be it Wild Lands, Cities, or Dungeons, and completely terraform them based on your own Spiritual Energy and how much Magic Power you possess. Concrete will melt into mud, trees will rise as you see fit, and this land can shape and transform into what you wish it to become. With this power, you can reshape the land within 500 meter around you, this amount increasing with every skill level. This massive Land will count as your Spirit Domain and will generate its own Spiritual Energy and Mana that will then transfer to you, exponentially increasing your maximum pool of usable magical energies by up to 5000%. Within this land you can perform Druidic Rituals and Create Spirit Formations with the required Materials and Knowledge, becoming capable of summoning Land Spirits and Land Guardians to fight for you temporarily, built from the very mud and trees of the Land, among many other things.]

"?!"

Riven was taken aback by this new and amazing Skill. He quickly decided to give it a try, touching the floor and tapping into the Spirit King of the Land, as he felt his Divine Spiritual Power rising and expanding toward all directions. He was currently standing within a rather deserted and arid area of the Spirit Dungeon Realm, but everything shifted within seconds.

The dry ground under his palm started to change as soon as the skill activated.

Grass grew as high as his forehead, trees rose and the dry land beneath his foot turned into wet and muddy soil with large gatherings of muddy, brown water.

Mosquitoes and other annoying bugs quite literally spawned out of thin air, filling the entire patch of land with life.

The transformation kept spreading outward until the full five-hundred-meter range was covered in the new terrain.

Riven stood still and watched the last of the dry patches disappear under the rising grass and water.

The air grew heavier with moisture, and the newly formed trees already started drawing in the spiritual energy of the realm.

He could feel a steady flow of mana and spirit energy beginning to feed back into him from the changed land, exactly as the skill description had stated.

The sudden appearance of insects was unexpected, yet it fit the idea of a living domain rather than a simple cosmetic change.

He took a few steps through the mud to test how solid the ground still was and found that it held his weight without trouble even while remaining soft.

"Oh..."

But the moment he stepped out of the range, he was suddenly given two choices. He could either destroy the area, which would disappear, or leave it.

If he left it, he wouldn’t be able to create it anywhere else. It seemed this place could move along with him but the area on the edges would slowly also return to its original form.

The system window appeared immediately and waited for him to pick one of the options.

"So I cannot spam this everywhere to turn the land into a prosperous area, it has to come with me or be left alone, in which case will it even be able to expand on its own? Huh..."

He tested the leave option first and watched the edges of the wetland for a few seconds to see what would happen.

Whenever he left it there, the five-hundred-meter wetland would begin to generate Spiritual Energy and Mana, almost feeling like a facility he could place in the Dungeon.

The energy started flowing toward him even while he stood outside the boundary.

Ding!

[You have used the power of the Spirit King of the Land Skill to place a [Great Spiritual Wetland]!]

[Spiritual Energy and Mana are being automatically generated within the Great Spiritual Wetland and transferred to you.]

[Your Spirit Energy and Mana Regeneration Speed has increased by 2500%.]

[Your Spirit Art Power and Magic Spell based on the Elements of the Land has increased by 1000%.]

[Whenever you’re within your Spirit Land, your Stats increase by 200%.]

[Your Health Regeneration Speed has increased by 500%.]

He read each line carefully and noted how many of the bonuses only applied while he stayed inside the area.

"Interesting."

Riven landed in the middle of the wetland, rose his hand, and formed a giant hand made of mud, stones, trees, and plants, and then as he raised his other hand, another giant arm surged, and then a whole body, resembling the giant that the Swamp Witch had summoned, it was like a Spirit Land Avatar he could move as he pleased, and even from long distances.

The avatar stood roughly twice his height and followed every small movement of his hands without delay.

"This is pretty unique; I don’t know if it’ll have that many uses in a quick battle with my life on the line but... it’s not bad."
