Chapter 281: Cradle Of Spirits Part 1

This morning I woke up next to a smiling Nix, she seems to be doing better after a night's sleep, but by her look of anxiety and expectation, I know she wants to settle this thing about the Cradle of Spirits.

"Good morning Master." (Nix)

"Good Morning." (I)

"Why are you in my bed?" (I)

"Have you forgotten? You were the one who brought me here yesterday after clearing the battlefield." (Nix)

"(Now that she said it, I think that was it.)" (I)

"Alright, give me some time to go to the bathroom and get ready so we'll get something to eat before we leave." (I)

"I'm glad you remember your promise, while you slept I talked to the people at the camp to find a good spot." (Nix)

"Let's talk about it after we've had something to eat." (I)

"I'm going to need some food too, but a different kind of food." (Nix)

"What kind of food?" (I)

"Spiritual energy from one of the elements I have." (Nix)

"Same as Layla, but she absorbs elemental mana." (I)

"Yes, it's not something we always need, but after what I did yesterday, I haven't recovered as much as I'd like to." (Nix)

"My spirit energy is completely restored, but my body is still a little weak and sore from using techniques my body still can't handle." (Nix)

"If you had told me about this earlier, then I would have found another way to resolve it." (I)

"We can't waste time, fighting outside the Dungeon was already a big risk, besides everyone was too tired, we had to get out of there, but we can't leave so many bodies behind." (Nix) UppTodated from

"What I did was a thorough and quick cleaning, you also know that was the best option." (Nix)

Nix is right, I was the one who suggested that plan, but I was afraid of the enemies showing up before the fight is over or when everyone is tired, I know there were some among Farus troops who sent messages to the enemy base, I was afraid that Farus might have some way of moving fast like some teleportation magic.

"I really appreciate your help, but don't do dangerous things again." (I)

"I promise not to do anything else risky if you do the same, master." (Nix)

"" (I)

I couldn't promise that, I'm fully aware that sometimes I get carried away whether it's training, testing something, researching something out of curiosity, or even making some crazy decision like the plan we used in the last battle.

A lot of the things I do turn out to be more dangerous than I expect, sometimes I wonder if I hit my head too hard when I was still a Leech.

Sigh

"Dark elemental energy is not in harmony with this environment as it does not belong there, but I think with your help we can purify and harmonize this miasma into pure dark energy, it will be similar to what you and Layla did in the mansion." (Nix)

"You know we don't have much time, when I did this with Layla it took days, to be more precise, it took weeks." (I)

"This time it will be faster, it should only take half the day, we should finish by dawn." (Nix)

"We have many Spirits with the Dark element that will be able to help us as they will be able to harmonize with their Aura, later on, this is only possible because their Aura is what made them born." (Nix)

"At least they're being helpful, usually they're just flying around me or stealing my food while I eat, not to mention yesterday when I went to shower and they came to play in the water." (I)

"They feel comfortable and happy around you master, you should be happy, spirits tend to stay away from people, that's because we are more sensitive to feeling people's emotions and we don't like negative emotions." (Nix)

"So how do you feel about me?" (I)

"" (Nix)

"A whirlwind of emotions all the time, worry, curiosity, love, anxiety, happiness, etc." (Nix)

"Most people try to hide their emotions subconsciously, but you expose it in your Aura, that's part of your Aura as one of the many layers it has." (Nix)

"But I doubt most Spirits can sense your emotions, your Aura is too confusing and chaotic to understand, I'm able to do that because of the contract I have with you." (Nix)

"I imagine that the Spirits inside the Dungeon are able to do the same because my Aura helped them to be born, don't you?" (I)

"Exactly, it looks like you're starting to understand." (Nix)

We've spent a lot of time talking, I want to get this sorted out soon, to be honest, I'm worried that what we do might draw the attention of Farus or one of his minions.

"So what should we do?" (I)

"For now I'm going to get the Spirits inside the Dungeon, once you and I start they will instinctively follow suit because of your Aura, their presence will also help to stabilize the place at the end of the process." (Nix)

After saying that Nix opens a gate to the Dungeon, it takes her an hour to get out of the Dungeon with a few dozen Spirits that start flying around me as soon as they appear.

"Sorry for the delay, I had to go through each floor of the Dungeon as they weren't registered in the crystals of the safe rooms." (Nix)

Sigh

"Alright, let's just get this over with." (I)

"I know you're worried that this might get Farus' attention, but that's impossible, Farus and his minions won't have Spirits on their side, I don't think any of them have spiritual energy either." (Nix)

"Usually only spectral-type undead have Affinity with spirit energy, I'm not saying it's impossible, just that it's rare." (Nix)

"Besides, we're more than two days' journey from Farus' Keep, from this distance they shouldn't notice a thing." (Nix)

"I hope you're right." (I)

Nix looks around, she seems to be taking stock of her surroundings as she looks for a good place to start.
