Chapter 897 Summon
Emery would be away for ten days on a mission. He believed they would be much more comfortable staying in a place full of spirit energy rather than staying inside his spatial space. Although he was a little reluctant, he planned to leave them here in the spirit cave.
He turned to look at the five chubby yellow creatures, who were busy playing among themselves. A smile crept up to his face seeing such an endearing sight. Still, he didn’t forget what he wanted to say.
“I will be away for a while. Can I trust all of you to behave and not run around anywhere?”
The reaction Emery garnered from them was just a blank expression, making him wonder if they understood him at all.
Left with no other choice, he turned to Twik, who seemed more intelligent than his brethren, “Will you look after them, Twik? I would really appreciate it if you did.”
Hearing that, the little wood creature frowned and shook his head refusing right away.
Emery once again heaved a sigh of helplessness, unsure what to do with them. In the end, if there really was no other way, he would just bring them with him in his Spatial Space.
For now, he just let them have a few hours of fresh air to play around. Meanwhile, he went ahead and practiced his spells.
Now that he had returned to a place with highly concentrated nature spirit energy, Emery found it was much easier cast his newly-learnt Rank C spell. He didn’t even have to put in much effort and the spell quickly showed its effect.
[Rejuvenating Mushroom]
When he cast the Tier 4 spell, Emery could grow several unique-looking mushrooms that would grant healing properties to those around them. Even though not as potent as the healing effect of [Nature Blessing], in Emery’s opinion, this spell had more potential, as it didn’t need to be continuously channeled to be effective.
For example, he could just cast the spell and grow the mushrooms, before then leaving for a fight or doing other things.
The little creatures became excited when they saw the cluster of mushrooms suddenly growing around them. They looked so happy playing with the glowing mushrooms, before a few minutes later, the spell expired and the mushrooms dissipated into motes of energy.
Satisfied with what the spell could do, the next spell Emery tried to cast was the Rank B spell [Strength Sap].
Since it was one rank higher than the previous spell [Rejuvenating Mushroom], [Strength Sap] was naturally a little harder to perform. But in the end it was successfully cast, as spells of plant element were never really a problem for Emery.
This time, Emery needed the Chizpur brothers and Twik’s cooperation to find out how potent [Strength Sap] was. One by one, he cast the spell on them and waited for it to take effect.
The Chizpur brothers and Twik’s bodies glowed slightly a few moments after the spell was cast on them. Seeing this, Emery quickly checked their stats – the Chipzur brothers first.
[Chizpur Fang – Stage 5]
[Magical Creature Level 30]
[Battle Power – 55(75)]
Emery’s eyes widened like a saucer when he saw the enhancement the spell granted. It was a 20 points of battle power increase, which meant the spell actually made them forty percent stronger. With the number they currently had, each of these Chizpur Fang had become as strong as Rank 6 or 7 acolytes.
He quickly turned to Twik, excited to see the latter’s improvement.
[Flora Colossi – Stage 5]
[Legendary Creature Level 30]
[Battle Power – 95 (110)]
The increased battle power for Twik was a little less. However, the fifteen percent increase was still quite good, as it allowed Twik to break through the 100 battle power mark. He had become as strong as a Rank 8 acolyte, almost comparable to a saint-level warrior.
With only a little time left for the gathering, Emery hoped the next spell he was about to attempt wouldn’t be too difficult to cast.
“Alright boys. Wish me luck,” Emery said jokingly to the Chizpur brothers and Twik.
He took several deep breaths in and out, before attempting to cast the Rank A spell [Mineralized Warriors].
After spending days trying to comprehend the intricacies of the spell in the treacherous rock of Zero Abyss, Emery now felt he was ready to cast the complicated spell runes. With a swift motion, he placed his hands on the ground, while his mind delved deep into what he had comprehended.
A few moments passed, but still nothing happened. The little creatures, who were watching Emery closely, were starting to lose their interest. However, just as they were about to continue playing amongst themselves, a slight tremor suddenly occurred.
Emery did it. Even though it took him quite some time, he eventually did it.
After the tremor passed, something swiftly emerged from the ground and stood in front of Emery. Without further ado, the latter checked the result of his spell.
[Mineralized Soldier]
[Battle power – 50]
It took the appearance of a human-like figure made of dark stones. In fact, the Mineralized Soldier looked a bit like Emery at a glance.
To make sure he remembered how he did it, Emery proceeded to cast the spell a few more times and created a few more of the Mineralized Soldier.
It took him a few minutes to create ten of them; noticing the Chizpur brothers looking at them, Emery decided to test the strength of the two sides.
“Chiki, Chiko, Chika, Chike and Chiku. Let me see how strong you are, defeat these soldiers and I will let you come with me,” Emery said, pointing his finger at the unmoving Mineralized Soldiers.
Surprisingly, the Chizpur brothers seemed to understand Emery’s words right away as they stood confidently, arms raised ready to fight. Emery raised his eyebrows when he saw this.
“Ku… Ku kuuuuu!!!”
Emery glanced at Twik, “You too. Help them, or else you stay.”
“Kuang!”
Six plant creatures against 10 Mineralized Soldiers.
The two sides clashed.
Swissshhh!
Bammm! Bamm! Baamm!
A few minutes later, Emery closed his eyes when he saw the Chizpur brothers lose terribly against the Mineralized Soldiers, despite their clearly superior battle power. Unexpectedly, the Mineralized Soldiers possessed some basic fighting techniques. So it was not that surprising the Chizpur brothers lost, since they didn’t have one.
When the five brothers were defeated, Twik was left alone to deal with the ten Mineralized Soldier. He tried his best to at least take down on, but in the end, he got beaten down as well.
