Chapter 957 Recruiting Many Little Spirits

-----

"Phew, I feel much better now..." Celes sighed in relief. "Since I can remember that I've always felt weaker and a bit sickly, remember mom? But after absorbing this, it feels like something that should have always been in there is finally back..."

"I-I see..." Nia nodded. "C-Could it really be a fragment of the Oasis Spirit? So your soul is truly... My son."

"I don't know either..." Celes sighed. "But maybe I might be... related to her, or be her reincarnation, it's confusing..."

As smart as the boy was, he was still just a child, so it was natural he couldn't figure out things on his own easily and found them confusing to even interpret.

"It's fine." I said. "It's nice that there is something we can benefit from coming here, aside from my epic failure at getting a spirit... I'll mine a piece of this and then leave the rest in here, the spirits do like this area after all."

As I touched the crystal with my pickaxe after Celes and Nia nodded, a sudden flash of blue light surged from the crystal, slightly blinding my vision.

FLAAASH!

"What the... Another unexpected event again?!"

I was getting a bit bored of these!

lightsΝοvεl ƈοm The blue light slowly took the shape of a floating, blue-colored spirit, with the appearance of a little mermaid, it greeted Celes with an innocent smile.

"The vessel of my master... At long last, she has come back." She sighed. "But you're... A human? How could this be?"

"E-Eh? Hi?" Celes was a bit confused.

"A-Ah, sorry..." The small spirit, only the size of a cat, sighed. "I am one of my lady's spirit servants, I have no name other than Nymph. I was left here, sealed within the crystal by my master to secure my safety..."

"I... I don't remember why they were called like this exactly." Sighed the Spirit. "My Master was an Awakened that hailed from "A World of Oceans" as she called it... She belonged to a group of other Water Spirits and Magicians serving Oceania, the Goddess of Water, right? Oceania's the daughter of the Awakened Odin."

"Awakened again... I had no idea they had this other name; it feels like it makes little sense seeing how they're Gods." I wondered, crossing my arms.

"I-I have little clue about what it means either." The Spirit sighed. "I'm sorry for lacking information, I was created by Master only a few hundred years before she died and I never left her side, so I have little knowledge other than these things."

"It's fine, dear, don't worry." Emeraldine smiled sweetly at her. "But... "A World of Oceans", what could this mean?"

"Maybe they meant the Great Endless Sea?" Lucifer asked. "The Great Endless Sea that connects all Continents, formed after the Realms fell and slowly formed into Continents, what was once many Realms became a single world, supported by Yggdrasil's roots."

"Once Realms fell... You mean in the Age of Ragnarök? That happened before I was created, but I did hear from Master that this was the Cataclysmic event that triggered the "Assimilation" or whatever it means... Which opened the way for her to reach this world through the seas." The Fairy said. "T-

That's all I really know."

"Assimilation..." The Pharaoh rubbed his chin. "Hmmm... All of this knowledge is triggering my researcher self! I wish I could write down notes and such."

"Here." I gave him a notebook and a pencil. "Write anything you want for me; I'll need that information."

"Oooh! V-Very well!" Nodded the Lich, happy to have some tools at his disposal.

As he started scribing what he had heard and everything else, we arrived at the second rainbow crystal, this one was being observed by Silva and Catarina, who were curiously sensing its aura.

"The second one is here, please, reincarnation, absorb its powers." Said the Spirit. "From what I can tell... The Power of the Dark Pest is growing larger at the same time, you need to become stronger to finish what master couldn't."

"Okay!" Celes might be little, but his courage was very big.
