Spirit King 13 Skills

The weird fly looking monster flew at an extremely fast pace towards Niko. It was as if it was targeting him alone. The fly green fly monster looked terrifying and it looked extremely different when it was coming towards Niko, then it looked before. To Niko, it felt like it was moving much faster.

Niko felt chills go down the back of his neck as he was feeling nervous. He quickly shook his head snapping out of it. He couldn't be careless.

"Right here, you ugly thing!" Louis screamed on the side as he waved his hands and jump around.

The fly stopped in mid-air showing its terrible movements as it turned to look towards Louis. It's huge blue eyes slightly trembled to focus on Louis.

"Bzzzz"

Its wings flashed as it flew towards Louis as an extremely fast speed once more. Louis smirked as he noticed the fly monster was getting closer to him. He was completely confident in his ability to move and evade.

"Zzz"

"Swoosh!"

Louis' horns discharged lightning as his body moved to the side. Niko could barely see his movement's as Louis was almost like a blur. Simon and Maria Looked at him in awe. The fly had completely missed and it began to turn its body to attack Louis once more.

"Not in my watch!" Niko murmured as he began to control the orb. He extended his arm towards the fly and the orb flew towards it as if followed Niko's every thought. Surprisingly, the orb was quite quick as it flew towards the fly monster without a problem.

"Bang!" The orb hit the sides of the fly with force forcing the fly to the ground. Niko was completely surprised at how strong the orb was. It was almost like he possessed a flying rock that could be thrown with his mind towards anything.

The fly monster wasn't dead, the orb only knocked it down, and before it had a chance to move, Maria quickly came in and began to stomp on the fly monster. She stumped like she was stomping on something disgusting. She repeatedly stomped on it while closing her eyes, trying to block out the crunching sounds as well as the green goo that was splashing around.

"It's over," Louis said seeing that the monster was already dead.

Maria suddenly stopped her stumping and moved her goo-covered feet away and sadly nothing had happened. No skill, item or anything.

Maria's face sunk as she looked at the unrecognizable green pulp that laid on the ground.

"Unlucky… You'll still have a twenty-five percent chance of a skill gem dropping next time, it's still a very good percentage when it comes to this. Don't worry too much." Niko supported.

He had looked towards the big group and they had also finished killing the Flies that flew towards them. There were a few people celebrating here and there and Niko could understand why.

Niko looked towards the unrecognizable fly monster that was stomped into another shape and murmured.

[Spirit King's Order]

Just like before, the aura that surrounded his body began to become much more prominent as the same aura covered the dead fly monster. The aura then formed into another translucent orb, completely identical to the one he already possessed. And just like the other one, the orb began to clumsily fly towards him as if it was a newborn child walking towards its mother.

Niko used [Celestial Probe] on the orb and to his disappointment, this weak spirit possessed the same status as the first one. Thankfully, these orbs were more useful than he had expected, therefore, he wasn't too disappointed.

A few minutes later, the trees once again swayed back and forth and this time around ten fly like monsters came out. Once again, one strayed off and flew towards Louis. Using the same tactic, they were able to get the fly on the floor once more and this time, Simon tried his luck. Simon also stumped on the monster violently and when it was killed. Killing these monsters was very easy and after killing it something happened.

The body of the fly monster began to be surrounded in white light. The white light then gathered on top of the dead monster and as it dissipated, a skill gem was left there covered in green goo. Simon's Face lit up as he was completely ecstatic.

The baguette shaped skill gem wasn't a seed skill, however, a skill nonetheless.

Simon quickly grabbed the gem, not caring about the green goo and the lifeless fly monster, whatsoever. He gripped the gem and bowed towards Niko and Louis showing his gratitude.

Without hesitation, he activated the gem and an orange light surrounded his body for a short amount of time and disappeared.

Niko quickly used [Celestial Probe] on Simon to see the skill he had received.

[Giant Candle of Nature]

"What a strange name…"Niko thought to himself as he said, "You should try to get used to your new skill while we are here."

Simon nodded as he began to use the skill.

[Giant Candle of Nature]

The ground next and beneath to them began to move. The grass and dirt began to take shape as if it was clay being molded into a big candle. The candle was the size of an average adult man as it was made completely out of dirt and grass.

"What is that?" Louis walked closer.

Simon smiled and said, "Watch this."

"Clap!"

Simon clapped once and a fire suddenly appeared above the candle. What was strange about this candle was not the size or the content that it was made out of, it was the blue fire that was lit above it. The fire exhibited an aura of tranquility and comfort as Niko was beginning to feel a very good feeling inside of him. The world around the candle possessed a weird blue hue because of the fire.

"Woah! Why am I feeling like this…" Maria said in surprise.

"Hehehe! Those who are near this candle will have their minor injuries healed. Of course, not anyone will be able to receive the treatment as I am able to exclude certain people from it." Simon spoke with pleasure as he scratched his nose whilst smiling wide.

Niko smiled in admiration. This was a very useful skill, which was capable of saving lives. Any group would accept a person with this skill in their party. Sadly, it didn't seem to be able to protect him, however, if he joins a group he won't need his own protection, as he will be the most important person in the group and protected by all.

"Congratulations! That's a very good skill, Now it's your turn." Niko nodded to Maria as her eyes slit up and her body was filled with determination.
