Chapter 1366: Triad Spiritual Contract
Chapter 1366: Triad Spiritual Contract
When Selene began to despair as her heart started to waver and her resolve to disappear due to the combination of many events and things that started wearing down at her mind, two
spirits appeared behind her.
One was the fairy-like Yggdra, and the other was little Naturia, who resembled more of a child than an actual fairy now, their appearances quickly made Selene feel startled.
"Y-You... Who are you?" Selene muttered. "I'm sorry, d-did you heard what I said? I have been feeling so sad that I ended saying such things, I apologize for-"n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
"There's no need to apologize," said the fairy. "My name is Yggdra, and I am one of Sylph's Familiars and Contracted Spirits."
"And I'm Naturia, the same! Nice to meetcha!" Naturia giggled cutely.
"Y-You're the Goddess Spirits?!" Selene panicked even more.
"Yes, and we've come here to help you set your heart in the right place," Yggdra smiled gently. "Let us make a contract."
A contract.
Something that Selene had never heard of before, but that she somehow already guessed what it was. Since time immemorial that Spirits have created contracts with mortals, this isn't done just because spirits pity mortals or because they really like them.
In actuality, both parties benefit from the contract. Spirits receive Mana from their masters, while also being able to become much more corporeal and physical due to their connection to the material world with their masters.
They can also grow much faster than other "wild spirits" and even if they are "killed", they can revive after a certain amount of time passes within their master's Soulscape.
However, Yggdra was much more different, she was a unique living being that was both a living magical tree forest and also a spirit at the same time.
Although her primary contract was with Sylphy, Yggdra was more than capable of creating contracts with others as well.
Just like the one she had made with the Sunlight Tree back in Cloudia, which was more like an experiment for her to see if it was possible.
But now? It was without a doubt.
"You want to have a spirit contract with me?" muttered Selene. "But I..."
"You are more than qualified," Yggdra smiled. "I know that you're going through a lot, Selene. This is why I want to help you. Once the contract is done, I shall become a partner, I will soothe your heart when nobody else can, and I will assist you too."
"Y-You want to assist me?" muttered Selene.
"Yes, I have been considering it for a while, my dear master can't simply do everything her own, look at the disaster that happened," sighed Yggdra. "I want to alleviate her weight. As long as you can plant some seeds, I can expand my bodies here as well, and I could assist you in maintaining the Arboren, because I know that, although you're their Saintess, the burden is too big. How about having some break days every week, hmm?"
"R-Really..." Selene muttered, feeling moved. "A break... day?"
Since she was born that she had been working, protecting, and doing everything she could to ensure the safety and happiness of the Arboren, and right now, when they were at their most helpless moment, Selene felt tired.
She loved them all dearly, but she couldn't hide anymore her frustration and exhaustion, she wished so much they could be stronger... She wasn't even old either, she was a rather young living being, born recently.
Yet Yggdra could remediate this! And it wasn't as if Yggdra was doing everything on her own either.
"I had already consulted Sylphy and she agreed," said Yggdra. "Let me help you, Selene. Your true power can only blossom when you make contracts with Spirits Of Nature and Life."
"Me too! Me too! I am big enough to make a second contract I think!" Naturia also wanted to join.
"Well, not truly, but with my help, my dear daughter, you can," nodded Yggdra. "By doing a Triad Contract with me and Selene, I can take upon the burden you would, Naturia, this way, you can do it easily."
"Oooh, mom's so cool!" said Naturia. "Will you be ok with that?"
"I have tens of thousands of trees within my forests in Cloudia, each one is a child and also part of my body, I can spread out the burden, and my soul has grown across all of them," Yggdra said. "Thanks to Lara's help, not only was I able to form this new spiritual body, but I think I can do even more. The Saintess of Spirits has blessed me as well."
Indeed, within Yggdra's status, Lara's blessing was there, granting her completely new and miraculous abilities, and further helping her evolve her true potential.
Even when she wasn't even here, Lara was helping everyone.
Selene heard what she said and sighed, she felt slightly embarrassed she was receiving the help of someone again already.
But she couldn't really give herself the privilege of having any pride right now, in fact, the thing she has lacked the most so far was the help of others.
Now that they were finally coming to help her, she couldn't reject them.
"Okay..." Selene nodded, standing up, her bright golden eyes shining brightly. "Please tell me what to do!"
"Nothing much," said Yggdra. "You're more than qualified. Simply release your soul as an Aura, and I can do the rest. Dear daughter, you too, release your Spiritual Soul."
"Okay mama!" Naturia nodded.
"GRUOOHHH!"
"GRAAAHHH!"
"SHAAAHHH!"
ВАААМ! ВАААМ! ВАААМ!
At the same time as this happened, Selene panicked slightly noticing as several gigantic demonic beasts, made out of several demonic beasts melting and fusing together into abhorrent abominations, started attacking the barrier all at once.
Crack, crack...!
CRACK!
Several cracks started spreading across the barrier at the same time, Selene glanced in disbelief as her eyes widened, there were less Demonic Beasts now, but they started to combine into Abyssal Demonic Beast Chimeras, possessing tremendous power!
"W-We have to hurry!" Selene said. "Let's do it!"
FLUOSH!
Her Spiritual Soul emerged from her body, forming an aura of green and gold, enhanced even further after she ate the Nature Dragon Fruit.
"Let's get started then."
Yggdra and Naturia's Spiritual Souls connected together, and then they connected again with
Selene's, creating a "Triad Spiritual Contract".
FLAAASH!
