Something truly insane was happening. This game hasn’t stopped showing me insane stuff all the time, but this was really and truly exceeding the norm as usual. It felt as if I was no longer playing and just dreaming whatever I came out with, but this was the real and actual game! Not only I was suddenly being helped by a Great Spirit, but it was just appearing right now!
FLAAASH!
The green and golden essence emerged out of thin air, flowing into my body. It felt as if I was being bathed in a lot of cold water, which slowly turned warmer and warmer, until I felt like my small little body felt way stronger and heavier… somehow.
And that wasn’t all, when the energy finally decided to take a shape in front of me, it looked like a big carrot with an adorable-looking face, and it spoke!
“Finally! After eons I’ve found a suitable vessel! It has really been a long time! By the Gods…!” The carrot spoke with the voice of a lady, it was even more surreal! Is this a cartoon now or something?!
“Um… Err… Excuse me?” I asked in disbelief.
“Oh! Hahaha! My bad, dear. I should introduce myself- Eh?! Why do I look like a carrot?! T-This isn’t how I look! I-I swear I am a beautiful-looking lady! T-This is… Why a carrot from all vegetables though?!” The Great Spirit suddenly began to cry. “It must be because I am too weakened…”
“E-Erm…”
“Ah! Right, I shouldn’t really distract you too much, you’re too busy right now. But long story short, I’ve become to aid you! And later, you probably could aid me as well, huh? Mutual benefit pact, how about it?” She asked out of nowhere, pressuring me to accept.
“E-Erm, okay?! S-Sure- Uwah!” ．𝗻𝐞𝘁
I quickly evaded a snake jumping towards me. It was one of the annoying winged Snakes. They could easily lift off the ground and then try to catch you up with their powerful fangs. Their venom was paralyzing too, so it was annoying if they managed to bite me.
“GRYSHIEEE…!”
The snake hissed loudly, opening its mouth, and showing me her venomous fangs as the creature darted towards me once more, and three more of her friends appeared above me as well! I quickly grabbed my shovel and decided to hit them all!
“Let me assist you, dear!”
The voice of the Great Spirit suddenly resonated within me, as I felt the strange essence that had flowed into my body emerge out into a fountain of green and golden liquified essence of spiritual energies, flowing into my weapon and infusing it with a brand-new power!
“Uwawawahh! W-What is happening right now?!”
“Bwahahaha! This weapon is a good vessel of my powers as well! A branch from an Yggdrasil’s seedling, isn’t it? Excellent!”
“Y-Yggdrasil Seedling?! Wait, the Tree of Beginnings is related with the World Tree?!”
“I don’t think we got the time to discuss for now, honey!”
The Great Spirit infused her energies into my Shovel, as my weapon suddenly grew in size, something I wasn’t able to do as the weapon wasn’t part of my body. I could shapeshift it based in the total mass it already possesses, but not suddenly give it a bigger size. In fact, the shovel grew like five times its original size, and was overflowing with spiritual energy of gold and green colors.
“Now, dear, swing it with everything you’ve got!”
“Okay! RAAAAAAH!”
SLAAAAAASH!
I swung the giant shovel with everything I had on me. The weapons strangely felt incredibly light now! The moment I swung the shovel, an enormous shockwave of green and gold essence was unleashed, so strong that it made the ground tremble and several cracks emerged all around the floor, the flying snakes were easily consumed by the explosive attack, as the shockwaves continued to spread out, forming cracks all over the floor.
BOOOOMMM!!!
The shockwave hit a dozen of snakes in the background, blasting them into oblivion! But that wasn’t all, the ground, cracked and destroyed, actually began to change… The soil turned healthy and bright brown, and even small plants and grass started to grow over them! Was this [Health Soil]? The Skill must have triggered the 20% chance effect, but isn’t this a big too big? The entire area I attacked turned into Healthy Soil!
“T-This… What sort of insane power is this, Lady Great Spirit?!” I asked in disbelief, as I suddenly felt that half my MP was consumed. This wasn’t certainly something I could use all the time! But it was certainly devastating!
“Hahahaa! This is the power of Harvest and Farming! Did ya see? I am not a weak spirit; I am actually pretty strong myself! All those idiots that called me a useless spirit must be suffering in the Abyss! Heh, suck to be them!”
“Huh? What?”
“A-Ah! Anyways, look, more of them are coming!”
The Great Spirit pointed out at new snakes this time. They were bigger and stronger, some reaching Level 19 already! Their size was already over 5 meters and their scales were metallic and armor-like, some had many spikes covered in venom over their bodies, and some even gigantic horns or third eyes. These were probably the ELITE-type monsters, monsters that are usually way stronger than their counterparts.
I quickly decided to run back and regroup with Rita, my summons and tamed monsters, and the Mushroom Brigade, quickly finding one another as we were slowly being surrounded by more monsters.
“W-Wait, why are you running away?!” The Great Spirit angrily shouted at me.
“I lack enough MP to use your power again, it is way too draining! It is better to just smack them conventionally, lady Great Spirit!” I said to her, as her carrot form suddenly grew a pair of arms and they crossed while she nodded.
“I see, I guess you’re right, I took too much Mana. But you’re a bit too weak though, don’t blame it all to me.” She said.
“Eh?! Aren’t you a tad bit too cocky though?!”
