[Spirit Mage Sprout (Purple)]

Upgradeable: Yes

Daily Plant Essence Generation: +30

Physique:

Strength: 20

Speed: 40

Stamina: 40

Reaction: 40

Spirit: 60

Level Up Requirement: Combat / Spirit Experience ×100

Upgrade Requirement:

• Plant Essence ×2000

• Total Experience ≥1000

• Level 10

Description: A unique plant entity born with an awakened Spirit Attribute. Unlike conventional elemental mages, the Spirit Mage attacks the mind, soul, emotions, and consciousness rather than the physical body.

Abilities:

• Spirit Shock — Releases spiritual energy that damages consciousness and mental stability.

• Soul Barrier — Protects allies from mental attacks, corruption, fear, and spiritual interference.

Role: The Spirit Mage is the first known Plant-type unit to naturally awaken the Spirit Attribute. Unlike ordinary combat units, Spirit Mage attacks directly target the mind, soul, emotions, and consciousness of intelligent beings.

However, Zombies possess damaged and unstable minds, making Spirit Mage abilities largely ineffective against them while being exceptionally dangerous against humans, intelligent mutants, and higher lifeforms.

Standing together, the five new Mage Sprouts looked completely different from the previous elemental mages.

Looking at their details, Vikram couldn’t describe how satisfied he was.

Without hesitation, he brought the Wood Mage and Air Mage with him and also called over the Earth Mage and Light Mage.

"Vikram Boss, what are these? Are these your children? They don’t even look human."

The new members he had brought from the Brown Wood Shelter were surprised to see the Mage units.

After all, they had never entered Territory 1 even once. Moreover, whenever Phanty took action, they only saw a blur and assumed it was one of Vikram’s abilities.

"These are the most important members of our Territory. You’ll see how they work soon enough," Vikram replied without revealing too many details.

Looking at Harry, who was supervising the men’s work, while Ginny was supervising the women’s work, he didn’t pay much attention to them.

He also noticed Ron and Draco busy with other tasks.

As for Percy, since he wasn’t there, he was probably in the Observation Tower.

After looking around the Territory, Vikram arrived near the gate.

After arriving, he first stepped outside the gate and began planting the Spikevine, Thornvine, Bloodvine, and Demonvine seeds.

Not only would these guard his Territory and kill any Zombies that approached the gate, but they would also increase his Plant Essence generation.

After planting them, he also planted the three Vine Sniper Towers inside the gate.

Then he instructed the Wood Mage, Earth Mage, Air Mage, and Light Mage to begin removing all toxins, cleansing the surrounding area, and making the land fertile.

If the Wood Mage and Air Mage were upgraded, this effect would become permanent throughout the Territory, but for now, this was already more than sufficient.

Hearing Vikram’s orders, the four Mage Sprouts immediately got to work.

The Earth Mage moved first. Raising its small hands, streams of yellow-brown energy flowed into the ground.

Rumble...

The hard wasteland soil slowly loosened. Cracked, barren earth that had remained lifeless for years began to soften as hidden rocks, debris, and contaminated layers were pushed deep underground.

Next, the Wood Mage stepped forward. Countless green particles spread from its body and merged into the freshly prepared soil. Small roots rapidly spread beneath the surface, and tiny sprouts began emerging one after another.

Though still small, the change was undeniable. The previously dead land now pulsed with faint vitality.

Meanwhile, the Air Mage floated slightly above the ground. Gentle streams of wind flowed outward from its body. The breeze wasn’t strong, yet it steadily swept through the area, carrying away gray dust, toxic particles, and lingering traces of black fog contamination. The air itself grew noticeably fresher.

Many survivors subconsciously took deeper breaths.

"It feels... easier to breathe," one of them muttered in surprise.

Finally, the Light Mage joined in. Golden-white light radiated from its body, merging into both the wind and the soil. The moment the light touched the ground, faint black traces of contamination hidden deep underground began dissolving rapidly. The air, already purified by the Air Mage, became even cleaner.

The four Mages worked in perfect harmony:

The Earth Mage prepared the land. The Wood Mage restored life. The Air Mage purified the atmosphere. The Light Mage cleansed the remaining corruption.

The survivors from Brown Wood Shelter stared in stunned silence. They had never witnessed anything like this.

In the wasteland, survival was a daily struggle. Food was scarce. Water was scarce. Clean land was nearly mythical. Yet right before their eyes, a piece of barren wasteland was being reborn.

The gray soil gradually darkened and enriched. Small patches of grass pushed through the earth. The foul smell in the air vanished. Even the surrounding temperature felt more comfortable.

Harry’s eyes widened in disbelief. "Boss... can they really keep doing this?"

Vikram nodded. "As long as they are in my territory."

The survivors exchanged glances. Many finally understood why Vikram considered these four little plant creatures the most important members of the territory.

A warrior could kill enemies. But these four... they could create life for others.

Seeing them working together, Vikram nodded in satisfaction. The development speed of Territory 2 would likely exceed his expectations.

Since the four Mage Sprouts were already busy purifying the land, Vikram decided not to remain idle either.

He planned to head outside and clear the factory while they continued their work.

The moment he mentioned going outside, Anjali immediately rushed toward the vehicle. She didn’t even bother asking for permission.

Opening the door, she climbed inside as if it were the most natural thing in the world.

Vikram merely glanced at her.

"..."

He wasn’t even surprised anymore. After spending so much time together, he already knew her personality.

If there was excitement, adventure, or potential loot involved, Anjali would somehow appear before anyone else.

A few moments later, Luna quietly climbed into the vehicle as well. Unlike Anjali, she didn’t say a word. She simply entered and sat down.

Seeing the two of them already inside, Vikram immediately looked toward Divya and Sophia.

"You two stay here."

Both girls nodded, since like Anjali they do not like the adventure or looting, and also they are mostly obedient. Luna is also obedient, but she didn’t leave Vikram.

And Anjali, well forget it. He can’t even win her in words. And family punishment only make her more erotic.

After making the arrangements, he called over Phanty.

Then his gaze landed on the newly grown Space Mage Sprout. The little girl immediately floated over.

Her dark-purple cloak resembled a miniature night sky while tiny starlike lights flickered around her body.

Looking at her, Vikram suddenly realized that constantly calling her "Space Mage Sprout" would become annoying sooner or later.

Just like Phantom Druid became Phanty.

She needed a nickname.

After thinking for a moment, several names appeared in his mind. Nova, Astra, Cosmi, Stella, Nebby, Lunae, Voidy, Noxy and Starry.
