Chapter 789: The Grasslands
The desert region was large, but not so large that one couldn’t entirely cover it in a matter of days.
It had been 3 days since Ori found her spirit and was now using it to the best of her capabilities.
Along the way, she was practicing against beasts that would appear. Her rank didn’t allow for her skills to be very strong, but she still trained against the beast and gained quite a bit of training on her abilities.
It would still take her years and years before she was capable of using everything in her arsenal through sheer instinct, but for now, simply training like this was enough for her.
2 small metal balls the size of a Spiritual pearl were in her hand, which she would throw at the beasts with incredible speed.
Ning had created the metal balls for her to use like bullets, and with a bit more spiritual energy, she would succeed as well.
“Try to go for the eyes, Ori,” Trevain explained.
“Yes, brother,” Ori said and shot the metal balls at incredible speed. A lizard-like beast that was looking at them to kill them suddenly felt the metal ball go into its eyes.
Instantly, it squirmed around with intense pain, but Ori didn’t finish it there. After so many days of training, she knew what to do next.
She pushed the metal even deeper using as much force as she could, and when the lizard turned around even the slightest bit, she would pull on the metal ball.
Since the lizard was shifted, the metal ball wouldn’t come back through the eye it went through, but push through a new route before coming close to the skin, or getting stuck inside the skull.
In that case, Ori would push on it again and pull and push, until she pushed the metal ball through the lizard’s brain and it died.
Once it was dead, she would pull on the ball, using it to slowly reorient the lizard and pull back the ball.
The ball was surprisingly lacking in blood when it came back, but she was used to it by now. Ning had made the ball so that it was hydrophobic for the most part, especially when it came to stuff like blood and poisons that any beast would have.
It was only for now since he knew that soon enough Ori would start to be able to manipulate blood itself as it contained metal too.
‘It would have been an okay skill if she could only control metals that were attracted to a magnet, but it looks like she will be able to control every single one,’ Ning thought. The world had just gained a frightening summoner that they would not want to antagonize.
“Urghh! It’s been 3 days. Aren’t there still 23 or so spirits left? How are we not finding a single one in 3 days?” Tessa complained.
“Tea
cher, I’m getting bored,” the princess started complaining.
“Then do you guys want me to find a spirit right now?” Ning asked. He hadn’t done so because they had asked him not to do so in the first place.
“Umm…” Tessa hesitated.
“Let’s just go. I’m tired too,” Trevain said.
“Okay, grab each other,” Ning said. The moment they had grabbed each other, Ning looked for the closest spirit that was around and teleported next to it.
They arrived on top of a massive rock that was one of the many rocks that was around the grassland.
Beneath them, there was grass everywhere, with no sight of any tree anywhere.
Ning crouched down and instantly, the stone vibrated. The 6 of them caught each other and stopped themselves from falling, while around the rock, snakes and other beasts hidden in the grass immediately ran away.
“There is quite a bit of danger around here. Look out for them,” Ning said.
The group nodded and one by one, they slipped down the rock.
The slime walked up front, while the others walked behind him, constantly on guard of everything that would attack them.
Ning looked around. The system had led him here because there was a spirit, but he couldn’t see anything.
‘Is it hiding in the grass too?’ he thought and looked around. After carefully looking at everything, he saw something blue flash not far away from him.
‘There you are,’ he thought.
“Guys, the spirit is about 20 meters to our left. Make no sudden movement,” Ning said.
“What?” the instantly turned around, despite his caution.
“I said no sudden movement,” he said.
“Oh, right! Sorry,” Tessa apologized and the others followed her to apologize as well.
They then slowly shifted their route to make it go right next to the spirit that they too had noticed by now.
“Remember, something that would entice the spirit. Something it doesn’t have,” Ning reminded them.
The group appeared close to the spirit, but they didn’t approach them. Instead, they just stood around, making small noises to get the spirit’s attention.
As curious creatures, they would fly on their own when they noticed something interesting.
This spirit did the same.
The slime and Ori were the furthest away, and Tessa and Trevain were the closest.
The princess was about to shout something, but Ning closed her mouth before she could speak. He didn’t want her to frighten away the spirit before the other two said anything. &nb

Tessa took a deep breath, put forth her arm like Ori, and spoke. “If you bond with me, Spirit, I will show you many interesting things that you will never see on this island,” she said.
It was a similar version of what Ori had spoken. However, since that had worked quite well, so she had decided to try it.
The spirit looked curiously as it jingled around, but in the end, shook its head and moved away from Tessa.
Tessa looked sad, but that did not distract Trevain from saying his thing.
“Hear me, Spirit,” Trevain spoke up. “If you bond with me, I will give you the company that you so desperately desire.” 𝑂𝒱𝓵𝐞xt.𝗰𝚘𝓂
