Chapter 424 - Divine Spirit Summon

-----

Edward was an elf from a village in the planet of Ginnungagap, a man that was born from a couple of commoners in there, life was harsh, but he managed to help his family as he developed Spirit Magic over time, since he was a small baby that he developed it, and through the usage of it, he was able to aid in the daily life of his family and then the entire village as he grew older.

Because he was an elf, he saw many people passing, even his own parents, and over time, he grew into a lonely librarian, his house was big, and he collected many books, turning his own house into a big library where he researched alchemy and magic, helping his village. Without realizing it, he ended becoming their chief as the oldest and wisest, and worked hard to protect these people… Over time, however, he felt lonely, and without a purpose.

After having lost his friends and family, he felt like he didn't wanted to make any more connections with people, because he knew that they would all die before him, and it was painful for him to lose another friend, or a lover…

However, things had changed, he meet an undying man, Chaos, who required his assistance. He rescued him after having been caught by aliens, his magic and knowledge rend useless against the power of the Mindflayers Mind Control Powers, however, he was rescued, and given a new purpose… He became Chaos teacher in magic, alchemy, and a researcher and librarian. Chaos helped his village, and he was able to bring them to safety within his territory.

He dedicated himself to this new undying ally, and leader, someone that inspired him to grow stronger and develop the powers he once thought had reached their limit… And he had reached this far. He was a rather simple man compared to the other allies he had, such as a Demon, an Angel, a Shoggoth, and so on, he was merely an Elf that had already surpassed his own limits, and was discovering what lies within his lineage as a Spirit Magician… And after having reached Level 10 in Spirit Magic, it awakened at long last, into something greater.

"Divine Spirit Summoning!"

FLAAAAASSSHHH!

Suddenly, a massive magic circle emerged atop of Edward, surprising Lucia greatly! The Moonlight Elven Assassin woman was so surprised she stopped her charge as the magic circle resulted to be right before her!

TRUUUMMM…!

And from within the magic circle, she felt something powerful and divine emerging from within, a gigantic arm made of stone, covered in metallic ores and crystals… It was big enough to flatten an entire hill!

"Divine Spirit of Earth: Gaia!" Said Edward, as he summoned not just normal spirits that assisted him at using basic elemental magic, but Divine Spirits, beings that ruled over millions of lesser spirits and often inhabited planets, invisible to the naked eye, they feed the worlds they were with elemental energies and were able to maintain them.

The basic Elemental Spirits were Gnome of Earth, Salamander of Fire, Undine of Water, Sylph of Wind, Shade of Shadow, and Wisp of Light! …However, there were also greater and more advanced Spirits, but amongst them, those that stood at the top were the Divine Spirits, and their names changed alongside their powerful and gigantic appearances.

Gaia was the Divine Spirit of Earth, mother of all Gnome Spirits! She was present in most planets that were rocky landmasses. Even if this world was covered in oceans and plant life, there was rock and stone below, and she thrived in such place.

"I have heard your call, son of the Spirits, herald of the elements…" Gaia's voice resonated across the land, as Lucia suddenly felt completely and utterly… overwhelmed by the presence of such a glorious Divine Spirit!

"W-Wha…?! D-Divine Spirits can be summoned?! T-That's impossible! Divine Spirits are greater than gods themselves, how come you can ask for their help?!" Roared Lucia in utter surprise, running away from Gaia's enormous arm!

"Not even I have understood it yet, but it appears that my parents hid something from me…" Said Edward, as he smiled confidently, his handsome elven face seemed to emanate the air of a wise wizard! "Gaia, I ask for your help. Unleash your Divine Wrath!" Said Edward, as Gaia nodded, her enormous body emerged from the magic circle until the torso, resembling a wondrously beautiful woman made of stone, ores, and covered in moss, plants, trees, and more, with air made of leaves and eyes made of shiny jewels… She was the glorious and beautiful Gaia, the Divine Spirit of Earth and Nature!

"You're a strong wielder of the Lineage of Spirit Wielders… But the second time you summon me, it will cost you more." Said Gaia with a calm smile, as Edward nodded, feeling a bit intimidated. Lucia ran away for her life, knowing she couldn't even stand a chance against such a titan, but Gaia was calm as she looked at her from the distance. "Nobody can escape the rage of Nature." Gaia said as she pointed her hand into the ground, the entire city below Lucia's feet began to tremble, the ground broke apart, as the paved streets, the panicking people escaping, and the cars and spaceships breaking apart were greeted by enormous trunks of tree and gigantic thick vines emerging from the ground, reaching up to Lucia and blocking her from moving away!

"W-What…?! The entire city…!" Muttered Lucia in horror, seeing gigantic trees emerging from the city floor and breaking apart the entire city with their ruthless roots! They quickly reached up to her, attacking her strongly!

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!

She evaded all the hits with her agile body, but the plants were relentless, chasing her down and making her exhaust herself as she unleashed powerful attacks to cut them down quickly, desperately attempting to come out alive from this massive mess!

"Hahh… Hahh… I cannot die… Not now!" She cried, unleashing a sudden burst of Divine Aura, as poisonous smog began to spread everywhere! The plants… began to die!

"Oh…" Said Edward while rubbing his chin.

"Hmph." Gaia groaned frustratedly.
