The Great Spirit decided to help me in this precarious situation. She suddenly unleashed a strong green and gold-colored aura, which seemed to emanate a bright spiritual essence. I noticed she was absorbing energy from the barrier itself. Was she draining its mana? Wait! Isn’t that kind of bad? Well, not like we got time to think about this too deeply!
“Now! Harvest Festival!”
FLAAASH!
Suddenly, my entire Aura spread out as if it were creating a domain, and then, the bright green light took the shape of countless vegetables sprouting out of thin air, there were carrots, potatoes, and even cabbage and lettuce?! Wait, is this her power? 𝙚𝙤𝙫𝙚𝒍.𝒐𝙧𝙜
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
The enormous vegetables began to be fired like cannons, exploding in contact with the snakes into bright green light that showered everything with the essence of nature. Countless of snakes started to explode into particles of bright light. In mere seconds, thanks to her aid, we crossed through a large crack in the barrier and reached the sky, freefalling into the front of the city gates, where the waterfall was located!
“T-That was amazing!” I said.
“S-See? This is the power of a Great Spirit! Ugh… I am tired. I’ll go sleep now.” She sighed, suddenly disappearing.
“Eh?! You’re leaving to sleep already?!” I cried in surprise, but quickly decided to not let that affect me. I looked down into the ground, as we fell down with the aid of the wind spirits. I quickly conjured Whirlwind several times, feeling like I suddenly had more Mana than usual, and unleashed a storm of winds against the snakes pestering the gates, throwing them all into the skies!
FLUOOOOSH!
BOOM!
“Gryyyssha!”
“Graaahh!”
“Gryyyeehh…!”
The screams of the creatures was rather frightening, but its not like I had any other option! The snakes exploded into particles of light one after the another. After we got through their army, we finally arrived in the ground, Rita falling over the floor while the rest of us began fighting against the snakes.
“Uuugghh… my head.” Sighed Rita.
“Rita! Get up! You’re going to get killed!” I said.
“It doesn’t matter, it’s a game anyways… Let me rest a bit.” She sighed.
“Ugh, but it might not be a game to the NPC! If one of them die, they can’t revive probably… I don’t want to see people die, even if they’re virtual…!” I said desperately.
“You’re way too much of a softie, but fine!” Rita sighed, quickly standing up. “In fact, look what I got right now! Dark Familiar Summon!”
Rita suddenly pointed her hands into the floor, as a black and purple magic circle emerged, and from within, a mass of shadows started to emerge. It was tall and intimidating, and had the slight shape of a… horse?
“Oho?! A horse!” Rita said with happiness.
And it was indeed a large and beautiful black horse, with red eyes and a phantasmal mane and tail, it looked truly eerie and ghostly in appearance! When I checked its status, it was named [Nightmare Horse], and was good at mobility! I didn’t even knew that Rita had access to a Summoning Skill, she should had grabbed some time ago already.
“OOOOHHH”
The horse, however, gave a very terrifying groan, it wasn’t at all like one! It suddenly jumped over one of the nearest snakes and crushed the creature with its sharp hooves, emanating a dark aura, which only grew bigger after killing one creature. Wait, wasn’t this summon way too strong for being level 1?!
“Alright, let’s do it then! I finally got myself a mount! With this I don’t even have to walk anymore, hehehe!” Rita laughed slightly maliciously, sitting over the black horse as it galloped around. She began pointing her staff at the monsters while firing darkness spheres everywhere.
As for the rest of us, we were all in a single coordinated formation. I had hopped over Belle and was running around the formation with her, swinging my Shovel-shaped weapon and unleashing shockwaves that spread [Stun] to most targets.
BAAM!
[You have Stunned a target!]

Countless System notifications appeared each time I stunned a target above the monsters, as Belle crushed them promptly after with her Horn Attack or her Charge Skill, meanwhile, those that were left far away from our range were picked up by Silver’s deadly Spiraling Water Arrows which could reach long distances and lock themselves to a target. This meant that his spell was like a tracking missile that would most of the time hit their target. Sporegon, Hunter, and Magius were also helping, unleashing their characteristic skills and spells.
They were a good trio and could fight very much on their own. Lastly, Mimy and Loki were helping Silver too, making their own trio of two tamed monsters and one summon. Loki was improving as well, using her vines and skills correctly by making them sprout out of the ground and attack various foes at once, trapping them within her vines for Mimy to take them down with her newly acquired Sword Technique.
Meanwhile, I was just smacking the ground!
BAAM!
[You have Stunned a target!]

The moment I hit the ground, shockwaves emerged, stunning various foes at once. I didn’t even needed to be proficient or have good accuracy thanks to the shockwave effect. I never imagined that Farmers would have such a useful weapon still such as [Farming Tool Usage]! At level 10 it is really mighty, and the best thing is that it doesn’t require any MP to use. This means that I can use MP to summon Spirits and then wait for my MP to recover by smacking the ground and keeping our foes far away from us!
And as we delved deeper into the enormous swarm of snakes, we suddenly noticed several figures fighting together, a team of mushrooms, a squirrel, and a large Ent.
