156 I Want This Slime As My Familiar
—–
We knew that Ninhursag lived around the barrier, so it wasn’t as if it were super dangerous to go around these areas, we also didn’t even encounter any other wild monster aside from those Walking Mushrooms, so things were not really getting tiring, and we still had plenty of stamina to continue.
I knew that our parents were looking over us because there were currently four spirits following us from behind, I think Zack and Aquarina cannot notice them because their ability with sight is limited to their own eyes, but my Heavenly Sight even let me see things that others cannot easily see, even invisible things, and more.
And thanks to that, I can easily discern that there were four spirits following us, probably one of each of my parents… of course, when we were caught by Hell and that mysterious God that could control Space, even the spirits were attacked, as they were sealed before they could even react. ƒree𝑤ebnσvel.com
But if we live in fear about a dimensional god coming to kill us every day and every second, we’ll never be able to progress in life, nor have challenges, nor gain experiences, my parents themselves must know this very well, and so Aquarina’s parents.
That they had chosen not to cage us inside a room but let us explore the world around us means that they still value these experiences, knowing the risks very well. And I think they might had already made some sorts of countermeasures against sealing attacks that could seal spirits.
I cannot completely discern the spirits following us, their shapes are changed as they had become pure spiritual and elemental energy, this way they become invisible to the naked eye too.
I have the Heavenly Sight ability, so I can see a few seconds into the future as well, with that, I can also predict if anything bad might come to us and quickly evade it in time. Of course, it didn’t worked when the god sent us to another dimension because this power seemingly couldn’t be seen through my eyes, it was something that not even by looking a few seconds into the future I was able to detect.
Which seemed like a pain, honestly…
…..
For now, we wandered around the beautiful greenery of the jungle, and we suddenly began to find all sorts of new plants and mushrooms lying around, I was interested in them, especially because of my ability and closeness with Nature.
I’ve always wanted to tame plants and seeds, but as I had done it previously, it is quite hard because the spells and things I can do using Agriculture and magic are still limited to my magic tier, I can of course use it to attack, control the terrain around and more, entrap enemies with vines, and all of that, but a permanent plant friend? That seems way too hard for some stupid reason.
I could even touch a tree and use my magic, manipulating its branches to catch an enemy off guard, entangle them with it, and more, although the more mana I use the more pressure I put into my body and soul, so I cannot completely unleash all the power I have because it might make me explode into pieces.
Even if I could survive my body being blown into pieces, the traumatic experience for everyone around me is something I want to skip. Also, unlike my body, my soul is not like this, if the soul shatters, it might as well die for real.
So… like I’ve stated many times, I have to moderately use this endless Mana I got, not to put a pressure on myself that could potentially kill me for real.
Wielding endless energy is really a pain, it is not like one would imagine… but even then, it is a pretty good cheat, I can always conjure spells while others got limited amounts of Mana…
Anyways, going back to the topic, due to my Agriculture Skill and my Farmer Class granted by the System, I have several abilities regarding nature, plants, and mushrooms, which I’ve been developing in conjunction with Nature and Life Magic.
But it still seems hard to find a plant friend that can grow immediately, those that I can grow right away into mobile plant monsters will slowly perish after a little while without them being supplied mana, if I don’t give them mana every time, they will wither and die…
So the only way is by raising a specific monster plant seed from a baby all the way up, which might take years! Or… find a monster plant and tame it.
But can I find any around? This is a jungle so there might be some, but it all depends on if I can really tame them or not, Walking Mushrooms are not exactly plants, but they’re still included within Nature-type monsters, so I thought I could tame them, I had tried it before, but it never worked and they always tried to poison me with their spores or something, ugh.
Also, although my body is strong after having consumed a lot of monster meat from powerful creatures, such as a dragons, wyverns, and more, and I am very resistant to poisons and other stuff, I can very much be affected by these Walking Mushrooms spores, so I gave up on trying to tame one of these annoying critters, these damn bastards are way too hard to bring into my crew…
However, this little Pyuku is pretty good! I was able to easily tame him, even though he seems fonder of Aquarina, so he could become her Familiar rather than mine…
Although I wish it could become mine too, she already got Undine as her water spirit, but I lack a water spirit! If I could get one, my water magic could be finally developed more easily, I am only good at a few certain spells at best…
But I shouldn’t be greedy, I already got four familiars counting Alice, I should leave some to Aquarina…
