Chapter 2037: Naturia’s Incredible New Skills!

-----

Naturia’s sheer number of skills truly surprised me. She had not only evolved many of them but also gained numerous new ones.

Perhaps it had something to do with the Spirit Orbs and Soul Orbs I had given her during her evolution?

Maybe. Or perhaps not.

Whatever the case, these skills in particular stood out:

[Mana Fruit: Lv10] → [Divine Spirit Skill Fruit: Lv1]

[Spiritual Healing Aura: Lv10] → [Celestial Spiritual Palace Restorative Aura Materialization: Lv1]

[Life Enhancement: Lv10] → [Life Super Enhancement: Lv1]

[Nature’s Rage: Lv10] → [Nature’s Divine Wrath: Lv1]

[Forest Spirit Domain: Lv10] → [Divine Spirit Forest Dominion: Lv1]

[Spiritual Buds: Lv10] → [Holy Spiritual Field: Lv1]

They had evolved into skills with incredibly impressive names, hadn’t they?

"What do these do, Naturia?" I asked her.

"Hmm? Let’s try!" she said.

She quickly began using the skills one after another to show me. 𝓯𝓻𝓮𝙚𝙬𝓮𝙗𝒏𝙤𝒗𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝒐𝓶

"Divine Spirit Skill Fruit!"

She conjured a pink fruit that resembled a peach. It looked deliciously juicy and sweet inside.

When I ate it, I felt my skills growing... a bit.

[You have eaten a [Divine Spirit Skill Fruit]!]

[All of your Skills have gained +10,000 Skill Proficiency.]

"Huh?! This fruit grants Skill Proficiency?!"

I was left utterly flabbergasted. I tried asking her for another, but she said she could only produce one per day for now.

"Sorry, Master. It costs a lot of divinity," she said.

"Ah, that’s fine," I nodded. "Maybe later... Still, ten thousand points is not bad for something I can get every day."

Then she moved on to the next evolved skill.

"Celestial Spiritual Palace Restorative Aura Materialization!"

FLAAASH!

A giant palace manifested out of nowhere. It was enormous and splendid, glowing with pink and golden light as it encompassed a wide area.

"Woah, what is this?" Aquarina asked. "It’s awesome..."

"Yeah, it seems to be... Oh?"

Ding!

[Naturia has conjured the [Celestial Spiritual Palace Restorative Aura Materialization: Lv1]!]

[She has created a special Domain Aura that enhances and heals any ally within range.]

[Effects: Increases All Stats by 30%. Restores Health by 2% per second.]

"Sounds great!" I said. "Nice work, Naturia."

"Heheh, thank you!" Naturia giggled as I patted her.

She moved straight to the next skill without delay.

"Life Super Enhancement!"

FLAAASH!

Bright golden and pink flames covered my entire body, seeping into me and temporarily boosting all my abilities.

"Oh?!"

[Naturia has cast [Life Super Enhancement: Lv1] on you!]

[For the next 10 minutes, your Health and Vitality Stats have increased by 300%. You restore 1% of HP per second. Additionally, Lifeforce can be further manifested as Ki, enhancing all abilities that use this energy.]

"It’s a buff!" she said with a big smile.

"I can tell! This is great!" I nodded. "Next!"

She agreed and quickly used the following skill.

"Nature’s Divine Wrath!!!"

RUMBLE!

The ground beneath us trembled. In fact, the entire world seemed to shake.

CRACK... CRAAACK!

The earth shattered open as trees surged forth. Dozens became hundreds, then thousands, rising endlessly. The ground itself came alive.

Massive hands made of stone and dirt burst upward, ravaging the burning forest. Corrupted monsters appeared, strong yet completely powerless before Naturia’s new skill.

BOOOM! BOOOM! BOOOM! BOOOM!

Trees and earth handled the monsters with ease, completely demolishing them across the dungeon. I began earning EXP as dozens of monsters died constantly.

"W-Wait! She’s taking all the monsters herself!" Aquarina gasped.

"This dungeon is three times bigger than the ones we visited earlier, so don’t worry," I shrugged. "There’s plenty to explore."

"Alright, I can tell it’s an insane offensive skill!" I laughed. "Next...!"

"Okay!"

Naturia nodded cutely and used the next skill by raising her hands.

At the same time, she expanded a pink and golden aura everywhere until it swallowed us all, transporting us into another space entirely.

"Divine Spirit Forest Dominion!"

In an instant, we found ourselves in a fairy-tale world. An endless flower field stretched before us, filled with colorful trees unlike anything found in nature, all covered in vibrant blooms.

The sky was pink with colorful clouds drifting by, and numerous spirits of every hue emerged from everywhere.

"Wait, where the hell are we?!" Aquarina asked. "Is this Naturia’s doing?!"

"I-It is..." I said in disbelief.

"This is some kind of Dominion," explained Yggdra. "Think of it as an advanced form of a Domain. It expands the user’s Mind and Soul into the world and forcefully creates and materializes their ideal illusory realm. As long as the Dominion remains active, everything inside it is real."

"That’s insanely powerful," I muttered. "Well done, Naturia!"

"Eh? Ah! Hehehe!" She giggled on the ground as all her spirits tickled her belly.

Later, she used the final new skill she had obtained after evolving into her current form.

This one had the simplest name of them all, if I was being honest.

After all, it was just "Holy Spiritual Field"!

Many might find it a bit too plain and ordinary, yet there was something mysteriously promising about it.

If she could already do so many incredible things, what would this field accomplish?

That question lingered in my mind as I read through every skill. Each one felt uniquely fascinating in their own way.

Naturia’s evolution was an incredible miracle. Even after investing so much, she could have simply become another regular spirit.

She could have stayed the same.

But she chose differently. Perhaps because of that choice and the strong bonds we shared, she had evolved into something even greater.

"Okay, I’m going to use the last skill as you requested, Master," Naturia nodded. "Erm, what was the name? Ah!"

She raised her little hands toward the sky and extended her spiritual power into the soil. Colorful spiritual plants grew one after another, some even mutating from ordinary vegetation.

"Holy Spiritual Field!!!"

A Holy Spiritual Field manifested, a literal field made of spiritual plants overflowing with beautiful colors and, above all...

Immense spiritual energy!

And that wasn’t everything.

The plants bloomed with flowers in mere seconds, and those flowers produced dozens of new spirits.

"With this, we can create tons of happy friends, Master!" she giggled.

"Wait, so it creates spirits?!" Aquarina asked.

"I don’t know what to say, but they seem helpful and friendly," I said curiously, touching them. "I suppose this is her way of showing she’s stronger now... Though producing so many skills must be taxing, so please stop for now."

"Ok~!" Naturia nodded and quickly stopped. The spirits she had summoned remained. Some disappeared voluntarily, while others stayed. "Look! We still have plenty of friends!"

"Y-Yeah..." I nodded. "This is incredible..."
