Strongest Necromancer System Chapter 734: The Blessing of A Wind Spirit
Previously on Strongest Necromancer System...
Farlow, as a Sage, had encountered the Spirit Queen before too, yet he hadn't earned sufficient favor from her to claim the privilege of becoming a Spirit Arts practitioner! Reaching Sage rank was already a monumental challenge, but somehow Gina had soared even beyond that accomplishment!
Farlow bowed toward Ulyn and quickly voiced his words.
"I greet the Great Spirit of Wind."
Aside from Gina, Farlow alone could perceive the Spirit hovering near her head right then, leaving all the guards positioned behind him stunned at the sight of him bowing to nothing. Though clueless about Farlow's reason for bowing, the guards wouldn't let their king lower his head while they stood tall, so they dropped to one knee, placed hands over chests, and bowed their heads toward Ulyn and Gina!
"We greet the Great Spirit of Wind!!"
Gina's eyes went wide with astonishment as she gazed at the soldiers paying homage to her, and she glanced at Ulyn with fresh awe! She already realized Ulyn was extraordinary as the Spirit Queen's daughter, but Gina never imagined she was this extraordinary! Ulyn wore a smug smirk, arms crossed, chuckling like a classic villainess.
’Huhuhu, your humble salutes mean little to me, but they do bring a bit of joy. Take the wind's blessings. Finally, someone shows proper respect to Spirit Royalty – not like my oafish contractor.’
Gina listened intently as Ulyn complimented the elves, startled when Ulyn extended her hands and unleashed a surge of power enveloping the guards in green light! Gina spotted the elf guards' mana surging upward, and the guards gasped in awe at the sudden strength flooding their bodies! Was this the wind's blessing!? Every guard now surpassed their prior power, leaving Gina marveling at Ulyn's might to bestow such gifts merely for greetings! It felt as if each had equipped mana-boosting artifacts! Gina faced Ulyn, ready to laud her prowess, but Ulyn's brute insult sparked a vein throbbing on Gina's brow!
Flick!
Gina swiftly flicked Ulyn's forehead, drawing a adorable yelp from the tiny fairy as a red welt swelled up!
’Ouch! You brute! What was that for!?’
’I’m not a brute!’
’Says the one flicking folks left and right! I’ll tattle to my mother! You’re a brute! Worse, a savage!’
’And you’re just a pampered pest! I’m being kind, yet you keep infuriating me!’
’Never requested your kindness! Hmph!’
Ulyn spun away from Gina, arms folded in a huff, while Gina glared and turned aside in irritation too! Across from the bickering pair, Farlow observed their wordless spat. Though he saw Ulyn, her words to Gina escaped him, but he sensed the tension and wisely stayed out of a Spirit-contractor dispute. The guards behind Farlow remained dazed, reveling in the power boost from the Spirit's boon! Unaware of the details, Farlow knew this was a perk of Spirit favor! Prideful Spirit Fairies wielded vast power, enhancing elemental affinity with a single blessing! That's why Elemental Sages revere their Spirit Fairies so much! Fairy favor could rewrite your fate!
’Do as you please, but spare me the nonsense! I’m out! Only call if it matters!’
Ulyn snapped in fury before dissolving into blue motes, making Gina's eye twitch as she sighed in frustration! In that instant, Gina grasped it'd be ages before she bonded with this spirit! She finally faced Farlow again, beaming as he spoke with pride gleaming in his eyes.
"I’m thrilled you accomplished the mission so brilliantly. Truthfully, I never anticipated such swift success, but underestimating you was my mistake. Greetings to my fellow Sage."
Farlow offered Gina a courteous nod, nearly splitting her grin as she bowed back in reply! Joy swelled in her heart, nearly overwhelming her! She yearned to share this with Jason now! Jason tracked her via upgrade points he sent for her advancement, but Gina craved telling him personally! For the moment, composure was key! Next Jason meeting, she'd flood him with tales!
"Your Highness!"
A booming call rang from nearby, and Gina whirled to spot Stella dashing into the garden, face etched with worry! Midway through training, Stella heard of the incident and raced over to ensure Gina's safety! Halting before Gina, Stella scanned her like a fretful parent, exhaling deeply upon confirming her well-being.
"I heard a twister formed in the garden, Your Highness. I thought an assassin targeted you."
Gina smiled reassuringly that all was well, but Stella lingered doubtful! About to urge a castle return for examination, Stella froze, sensing oddity in Gina. Her eyes widened, stepping back to appraise Gina anew.
"Y-Your Highness... what’s with your magic?"
Stella struggled to articulate the shift! Just morning prior, Gina lagged behind her in strength and mana! Now, Gina brimmed with superior mana and unmatched power! Gina had hit TITAN Rank I!
’No, beyond Rank I! Nearing Rank II! What miracle befell the princess!?’
Stella reeled in disbelief. She accepted Jason's freakish growth without question, but Gina mirroring it stunned her! Questions burned, yet Gina pivoted to Farlow.
"Before anything else, King Farlow, I have vital news for you."
