Chapter 956 Visiting The Spirit Ruins

-----

The mysterious ruins greeted us with their mysterious appearance, auras of spiritual essence surging from within them. This entire desert must be full of lost treasure from past times, these ruins already look much different than the pyramids we've found before.

"Let's take a look then. They're pretty wide around this area..." I said, as the rest of my huge party walked by my side.

We had to walk down the dunes in front of us, which led to some sort of crater-like formation in the end, where all the runes were scattered.

By expanding my phantasmal senses, I was able to see a few things of interest, small spots with larger quantities of spiritual energy, and then, at the very end where we were, a large spot of corrupted spiritual energy, overflowing with a dark essence. Updated from novelbIn.(c)om

And...

"Leave..."

A voice echoing from within that place, overflowing with the presence and will of a Soul, no less.

"Leave... this place..."

It kept telling me to leave. Nobody else could hear it other than myself, I suppose this is because I'm a ghost and have a sixth sense sort of?

"This place... my resting... place... leave..."

It seemed to be a resentful soul. I'll get to it eventually. For now, I want to check the spots of Spiritual Energy and see if I can find any compatible Spirit to tame- I mean, to make a contract with.

"Mama, I can feel something odd!" Nyx had noticed it too. "Over there!"

"I know, we'll check it later, dear." I smiled at her. "More importantly, look over here."

While Fabian's group was exploring the ruins with a few others, Nyx, Lucifer, and Partner walked by my side and followed me where I was going.

The spot of spiritual essence was a glowing, rainbow-colored crystal buried beneath the sand, surrounded by four walls of ruins.

The ruins were covered on strange runes and a language I couldn't understand. None here understood it, not even the Pharaoh.

"Not before I extract a bit of these, they're still a precious material, hehe." I took out my pickaxe and, when I was about to mine, someone called for me.

"W-Wait! Please wait, Auntie Maria!"

It was Celes, who came running to my side and grabbing my arms, gently putting them down.

"D-Don't do that please!"

"Celes? What's wrong?"

Nia quickly walked to his side and bowed, apologizing.

"I'm really sorry! He didn't mean anything bad! He just... He said that these crystals hold important power?" Nia wondered.

"They do?" Nyx asked. "What power?"

"I can feel it..." Celes slowly walked to the rainbow spirit crystal growth. "Some of the Essence of the Divine Oasis Spirit is here!"

His Soul resonated with the crystal, as his little hand touched it, a large quantity of power that was contained within it flowed into his Soul and Body!

FLUOSH!

It was swiftly absorbed, the crystal remained slightly the same, but it looked hollow, the power it held drained completely.

Ding!

[Celes]'s [Divine Oasis Spirit Soul] has absorbed the [Divine Oasis Spirit's Fragment]!]

[A part of the Soul's original powers has slowly awakened, All Stats have increased, All Skills have Leveled Up.]

So this was an inheritance of some sort this whole time?
