Chapter 66 Hallowed Ground!
Chapter 66 Hallowed Ground!
Back at the floating mansion....
Muku was still pushing his mind past its limits; at this point, all he was thinking was, "Hold it a little longer".
The girls kept on looking at him with worry on their faces but didn't interrupt as they knew it was a critical moment. Hope suddenly thought of an idea and so tried to implement it. A gentle light green glow, as opposed to her usual sinister-looking dark green gas that she usually displayed, appeared on her hands.
She then held her hands on top of Muku's head, even touching his black hair a bit. Her eyes closed, clearly trying to concentrate; the others didn't try to stop her. They just looked on with curiosity looking to see if what she wanted to try would work. Instead of the usual surface healing she did, she was trying to do a deeper level heal that affected a person's mind. She tried for more than a minute with no success but didn't give up. Instead, she burnt through even more of her mana to make it work. So much so that a holy green glow surrounded her, when it touched the others, they felt their nerves start to relax.
[40% of Pseudo-Legendary class potential realised....]
Surprisingly, she instantly realised more potential than Emily and Chloe! Maybe because she developed a spell that affected the mind which was something that can't be easily done. As soon as she got the message, her aura exploded out in the room, but luckily, unlike everyone else before her, her's was gentle and didn't harm anything. The entire room was now bathed in a green glow and the girls around her felt so relaxed by it that some of them almost moaned in satisfaction but managed to hold themselves back. Their bodies felt the best they had ever been; it was like all the hidden fatigue, whether physical or mental, that was plaguing them was eradicated by Hope's spell.... intact, that's exactly what happened.
As for Muku, his once extremely tense face was now a lot more relaxed. It seemed Hope's spell managed to have the effect she wanted it to have. She finally opened her eyes, and looking at Muku's now visibly relaxed expression, Hope smiled a bit and fell into Audrey's waiting hands. She didn't smile because of the awakened potential, but because she managed to assist her big brother.
"Wow, what an OP spell! So holy-like!". Jade exclaimed in a low voice; she, like everyone else, was greatly impressed by Hope's new spell. They were already used to destruction spells, so seeing something so powerful yet not destructive was an amazing experience.
"What do you think she'll name it?". Emily asked curiously.
"Maybe..."Hallowed ground"?. I certainly felt like I was standing on holy ground at the time." Jade gave her guess. The others couldn't help but agree with her suggestion; they also felt that way.
"Tsk, and they call my element holy?". Emily said, expressing her jealousy, albeit jokingly, since everyone could tell she wasn't really jealous.
"Umm, I think you're forgetting her other side". Layla finally chimed in, reminding people of Hope's poison element that had killed beasts before they even knew what was happening.
"Oh, right!.....no wonder her class is called Baneful Healer. She's like a fallen angel that still has her divine power or something," Jade said while joking as well.
Although the girls didn't say anything, they did what he said. In fact, they all stayed up, other than Hope, of course. She actually didn't wake up the whole night, the spell and the potential realisation likely took more out of her than everyone thought. And surprisingly even Muku didn't wake up, but they could understand.
Because of Hope's spell, the rest of the girls didn't have any trouble staying up all night. They even had a feeling that they'd still be as energetic as they were in that moment even when morning comes.
.....
The next morning.....
All manner of beasts had been coming out of the portals ever since the world stopped shaking. And it was happening all over the world. They were even more varied than the ones that first appeared. As anyone can easily guess, many beasts that came out of the portal were legit Rank Two! That wasn't even the worst part, a few Rank Threes managed to slip through. Every portal spat out one Rank Three along with many lower ranks. Their mere aura affects the weather around them.
And like most cities, the city in which Muku's group wherein was surrounded by four portals. One in each cardinal point, though they were in the outskirts and were pushed even further. The closest portal to Muku's group was the Northern side portal.
....
At the northern portal....
Like the school portal and every other portal in the world, it had turned blue from green and spat out beasts for hours.
The weather around the portal started to change out of nowhere. Snow started falling in a country that had never snowed before. The portal increased in size. Then a huge white paw stepped through, followed by a massive body.
It was a giant white wolf around fifteen metres tall with giant cold blue eyes that would send a chill down the spine of anyone who dared stare at them.
The area within a kilometre of the wolf was quickly covered by snow. That's right, it was a genuine Rank 3 beast. The new king of the north.
"AWOOOOO!!"
The Wolf king howled to the sky as if to let those close enough that their new king had arrived.
