Reborn As A Ghost: Time To Build My Undead Army!

Chapter 1172: Root's Evolution! Spiritual Heart!



Ding!

[Congratulations! You have successfully forged a {Divine Spirit Contract} with the [World Treant Spirit: Root]!]

[Your Affection with Root has reached Maximum Level of 100! Root's Stats and Skills have become 100% stronger when he's fighting by your side, and you can use 30% of his Stats and Skills as well!]

[Root will now be able to develop much faster and evolve into stronger forms.]

[You gained +500.000 Spirit Stat!]

[You gained +300.000 Nether Stat!]n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

After creating a contract with Root, I felt much stronger out of nowhere, and it was because I now had a passive buff that would activate whenever I summoned him by my side, which shared 30% of Root's Stats and skills to me.

I could use his skills! Although I cannot develop them as if they were my own, he really had a bunch of very interesting Skills I could happily use for myself.

He also offered himself to Emeraldine as a third of her spirits, and she happily accepted. They did the contract almost instantaneously, forging a bond.

"Usually a Spirit can forge a contract with only a single person... But this is wonderful! Root can do it with multiple people!" Emeraldine said. "I can feel his powers dwelling within me now, it is as if he's a Spirit of Nature, but also... I think this is Death Element? How peculiar! But it is so different than your Death, it is very connected to nature."

"I guess you'll have to train it later then," I said with a nod. "Anyways... What's this?"

I looked at the system notification that popped up once I made five spirit contracts, and I quickly remembered getting a notification earlier about something like that.

Something about unlocking a special thingy once I got five, right?

Yeah, I think that's it...

Ding!

[Congratulations! You have fulfilled the conditions: Contract Five Divine Spirits: 5/5!]

[You have unlocked the Ability to create a {Spiritual Heart}!]

[By creating a Spiritual Heart, you'll be able to crystalize the spirit energy of all your Spirits and connect them to it, giving you a brand-new spiritual power.]

[With the {Spiritual Heart}, you will gain the ability to wield Spiritual Energy, conjure powerful Spiritual Arts and Techniques, and cultivate this energy to further grow your Spiritual Heart, which will also make all contracted Spirits stronger.]

[As your {Spiritual Heart} cultivation progresses, you will be able to inherit Spirit Skills from your Contracted Spirits which you'll be able to develop, level up, and use as you please.]

[However, the best part of it will be your ability to be able to create, eventually, a {Spiritual Sanctuary} where your Spirits can rest at ease and regain their Spirit Energy, heal wounds, or even Revive when killed.]

[The {Spiritual Sanctuary}, similar to your {Soulscape}, which now evolved into a {Divine Realm}, will create its own Spirit Treasures related to the elements and characteristics of your Spirits.]

[It is even possible for new Spirits to be born within your Spiritual Sanctuary, if your Spirits love each other enough!]

"Woah, don't joke with me, this is pretty awesome!" I said, celebrating a brand-new powerup. "Emeraldine! Did you know about Spiritual Hearts? I can make one now!"

"Wait, you can?!" Emeraldine gasped. "T-That's wonderful! Yes, I do know about them... They're a very... well, secretive power, a special core that can be cultivated in unison with spirits. I've heard that very powerful Spirit Magicians in the Continent of Alfheim have it, it is only unlocked once you contract five divine spirits, so its definitely no easy feat, congratulations!"

"I can't believe she got it earlier than Emeraldine, the girl that has been using spirit magic this whole time..." said Partner. "Master, I think you're a bit of a cheater..."

"Hey, I wasn't cheating! It just happened, okay?" I sighed. "Tyr was my first contracted spirits and he's literally the fused parts of the Evil God Fragments but without being insane! And then there was the moth we found at Eustace's ruins, then the Spider of Sloth, and then this jellyfish I obtained from an egg reward from my system!"

"Oh wow, a jellyfish-like spirit?! So cuteeee - Abababababh!" Emelradine was electrocuted the moment she tried to touch him.

"S-Stop Jellyfish, don't sting her!" I ordered, as the spirit gently moved away. "Are you ok?!" "Yes, my Spirits healed me," sighed Emeraldine. "Ah, don't start fighting, you guys!" Suddenly, Emeraldine's Light and Nature Spirits, who had the slight shape of fairies made of golden and green light respectively, started annoying Medusa.

"Bbbzzz!" Medusa released an annoyed, zapping sound, pointing her many tentacles at the spirits, who quickly flew away in fear.

"Medusa, behave..." I sighed, petting her circular head. "For now, I'll evolve Root first, so he can be stronger once I forge the Spiritual Heart."

"Okayyy, gyuuuhh!" Root was excited. "I wonder what I will evolve into! I am looking forward to it gyuuhh!"

"Me too!" I nodded. "Alright, let's see..."

Ding!

[Do you wish for your Contracted Spirit/Familiar: Root, to Evolve into its next stage?] [Evolution might take a few minutes to hours, are you sure?]

[Yes] [No]

"Yep!"

I pressed [Yes], without hesitation, as Root flew outside of the house, returning part of his powers that made him stay with us in a tiny spirit form back into the huge tree he was outside,

the World Treant.

FLASH! FLASH! FLASH!

And I could tell, two other rays of golden and green light surged from the west and the south, the other two extensions of his own body were also evolving at the same time.

"Wow! What's happening?"

"The big tree, Root is evolving?"

"Wait, right! Root is a Treant, isn't he?"

"Amazing! Look mama, papa!"

The many citizens of the city glanced the scene in awe as the gigantic tree evolved, becoming even larger and more majestic and spiritual than before.

His normal-looking branches suddenly became even larger, and his size doubled, the tree still had his funny face though, with two empty eyes as holes and a long branch as his nose, with a zigzag shaped mouth.

His dark wood became of a clearer brown, and his dark green or blue leaves turned clear green this time, some even slightly golden in color. And above all, big fruits were made from his

branches, and many flowers.

Ding!

[Congratulations! Root has evolved into [Divine Spirit World Treant: Yggdroot]!]
