Brand New Life Online: Rise Of The Goddess Of Harvest
chapter-134

"You have? That's great! The System doesn't seem to tell me your total powers, or any Skill that might be related with you. I might be able to acquire them after completing certain Quests though, so it would be nice to know what you're capable of, aside from that one [Harvest Blessing] you used." I said with a nod.

"Quests and System? What's that all about?" Wondered the Great Spirit.

"It is the power that we Players use to grow stronger. It is unique to us but other inhabitants inherently have a similar power of leveling, gaining skills, and so on. Didn't you know about this?" I wondered.

"Ah! There are certainly levels and skills, I do remember that. Mortals also had Classes from birth, depending in their Class, their entire lives might change completely… So Players can manipulate these elements through the "System"? Interesting." Said the Great Spirit. "I suppose that part of your power comes from this, yes?"

"Yeah, most if not all of it because this is a game…" I said while looking elsewhere. Telling an NPC that this world was a video game made them think you were joking every time.

"A game…? I suppose your way of connection to this world is through this "game"?" Wondered the Great Spirit, suddenly, she made a pained expression, as if something had hit her in the head. "Ouch… My head. I-I think we shouldn't speak about this for now…"

"Yeah, sorry…" I sighed.

"Nonetheless, as I showcased before. I am now pretty much using your body as my Vessel, dear! One of the abilities you've gained is the power to manipulate Spiritual Essence and use it to conjure the [Spiritual Boost] Ability, which was what you used to enlarge your Shovel into a titanic size. Aside from that, there is the [Harvest Blessing] that allows you to summon a delicious assortment of vegetables, fruits, and anything that nature brings once a week!" The Great Spirit said.

"Oh, so what I used was that! I see… But it also seemed to be able to merge with my Farming Tool Usage Skill somehow…" I said. "When I attacked using [Spiritual Boost], the entire terrain transformed, is that something to do with the power of the spiritual essence?"

"Yes, kind of. It appears that when using [Spiritual Boost] you can boost literally anything that is within your body or soul, or your weapons as well. It is an all-encompassing enhancement that can be customized for greater efficacy. However, you've managed to manipulate it exceedingly well, I believe you've already manipulated Spiritual Essence and even absorbed it before without knowing." She said.

Suddenly, I recalled my fight against the Mushroom Hero, when I used my powers to merge with the Land Spirits through Spirit Enhancement and Plant Manipulation to spread out my entire body into many roots… I really went so much all out back then that I can tell it might had been related to that. The Spirits seem to like me a lot, so they probably grant me their spiritual essence without me even realizing, perhaps. At the end, I explained this to her, she seemed quite amused.

"I see, so that was it? You've merged with the Land Spirits to become a Titan!" Said the Great Spirit. "Truly, you're the one that best deserves to become my Vessel!"

"A-Ahaha… I overdid it there though, I never thought I could actually merge with them, but it seems that Plant Manipulation is quite handy." I said while nodding. "The Land Spirits also seemed to not mind. I was only able to do it because I was able to find out a way to fuse Spirits powers through the Spirit Enhancement Spell."

"That Spell seems to actually grant you the ability to not only boost the spirit's power through Mana, but also to manipulate their Spiritual Essence. You've been able to manipulate such essence thanks to your kind heart, the spirits even let you mold the very fabric of their existences to unify and fight for you. How noble." The Great Spirit seemed strangely charmed.

"I-Is that so… Anyways, what other ability you have for now?" I wondered.

"Oh! After my meditation, I learned the power of [Mana Absorption]. I seem to be able to drain Mana from the environment slowly, so I can now do things myself. I can also feed the Mana to you a bit, so your Mana regeneration should be doubled if not tripled." She said.

"Eh?! Is that so?" I wondered.

"Yes, but it doesn't mean it is infinite, so be careful to not use too much of it at the same time." She said. "Nonetheless, as your Vessel I have access to some of your Magic, specially your Green Magic and Spirit Magic, I can use both of them at the current Level they are, so I could support you and conjure magic for you so you could more easily fight. I guess this would be called [Magical Connection]."

"Ooooh! That's super handy!" I said happily.

"Hm, and lastly, the other power is my unique Magic which you have to yet to master, perhaps if you could enhance the level of your Agriculture Abilities related to your Farmer Class… This magic is called Harvest and Farm Magic." She said.

"Harvest and Farm Magic? Sounds pretty handy for a Farmer, but not threatening at all…" I said.

"Fufu, you're clearly underestimating its incredible potential… You will see, dear child, as I shall guide you into using it in the near future and battles that are coming next. The Snakes are yet to be defeated after all!" The Great Spirit said.

"R-Right! We should hurry for now!" I said, as I quickly told everyone to get ready to move outside to aid those fighting the snakes. We only took a break of around five minutes to eat, so we should be more than ready. The Golems inside the city seem to be clearing everything by themselves, and the amount of snakes has severely reduced to less than 50, so I think they can handle the rest for us.

"Alright!" Said Sporegon.

"Wait, Planta! Look, the tiny Mimy evolved!" Rita stopped me from rushing, as I was suddenly greeted by an utterly adorable little black knight the size of a five-year-old child!

"Eh?!"

"Guuu!"

Mimy suddenly evolved without my permission! I guess Tamed Monsters have more independent will than Summons.
