Chapter 1519  Spiritual Barrier

-----

<nulli>"AMEHIA!"

Tyrannus panicked, seeing Amehia being dragged by a strange lightning spirit!

However, he was unable to chase her as he was being surrounded by hundreds of Lesser Demons pouring into the village and seeking anything to destroy.

<nulli>"DAAAD!"

As Amehia was dragged away, she realized the spirit was bringing her closer to the weird flower where Yuki had come from.

"T-That flower…?!"

<nulli>FLAASH!

She felt the same sensation again, a palpitating aura constantly surging from within the flower, calling for her.

Her Mana Core resonated with the Blue Lotus, feeling a connection between the two begin to blossom.

"W-Who are you?"

She had never met such a powerful Spirit before, always meeting and talking with tiny ones. For her, this was an absolute first.

Once she gracefully landed in front of the flower thanks to Pekora's spirit, the rabbit-kin greeted her, slowly standing up.

"I swear, this Divine Spirit seems to have been born out of Yuki's transformation, but it is not even looking at me…" She sighed. "I feel like all my efforts to grow into a strong Shaman have been for nothing against this arrogant one."

"L-Lady Pekora!" Amehia cried. "Did you… brought me here?!"

"That's right. Girl, for some reason this flower really fancies you." Her teacher sighed. "And I think it might have to do with your Affinity with Spirits being innately much higher than mine."

"It is?!" Amehia cried.

"Yeah! Hard to believe?" Laughed Pekora. "We don't have much time though, girl. It is now or never. This flower has a purpose, and you might help it fulfill it."

"W-What do I do?" Amehia asked.

"Accept its strength and touch it…" The rabbit-kin shaman said. "That might just do the trick."

"Just… that?"

Amehia slowly approached the Blue Lotus, which slowly started to blossom as she walked closer. Her hand extended towards the Divine Spirit, as its light fused with her body, resembling threads of gold.

"Amehia…?"

Tyrannus looked where she was, the blossoming flower continued growing larger and larger, beginning to encompass everything.

Remembering her birth, Amehia's birth could be said to be miraculous. Tyrannus' wife almost lost her because she was extremely sick in the last days of her gestation.

She had gotten sick due to Mana Deficit, a problem that sometimes happened to people whose Mana Cores have not been cultivated for many years.

Because of this, Amehia was being stopped from absorbing the necessary Mana from her mother to develop.

Her mother experienced a lot of pain, but by consuming the medicines her husband made for her, Amehia's mother continued her gestation.

To make sure she could gain Mana or Energy of some sort, her mother made herself go through great pains, forcing herself to move and sit down near the Spirit Sanctuary, an ancient ruin near the dungeon, full of spirits flocking around.

She let the spirit energy enter her body and let her daughter absorb it instead of her lack of great Mana, making it possible for Amehia to develop correctly.

However, she was still born small and weaker than others, after a week since her egg was laid, and she hatched, she was a very sickly child.

But she vigorously ate meat and fruits, and grew big and strong, like her father.

"Amehia's Spirit Magic affinity…" Tyrannus thought. "Was it because she absorbed Spirit Energy when developing as a baby? But to think… She was capable of reaching these heights."

His daughter was finally leaving the nest, in a way, as the Blue Lotus revealed its true power, born from Yuki's desire to protect everyone, and the leftover power left behind when she was reconstructed.

"T-This Spirit…"

Amehia gasped as her soul and the spirit connected, creating a permanent contract. At the same time, the giant flower exploded into a bright, blue and pink light!

<nulli>FLAAAASSHH!!

which upon touch, burned their skin, making them agonize in pain.

They quickly started pulling back, while Emerald noticed the petals healed his wounds with a comforting and warm light.

"Amehia… Is this your magic?"

The wind dragon looked down, to see the beautiful young lizardman girl spreading her arms as the spiritual energy was absorbed by her body.

She quickly underwent an evolution, gaining bright, metal-like scales, golden scales and horns, and bright silver eyes, while she grew a pair of big wings behind her.

<nulli>"Gryyaaaggh!"

"W-What is this magic?!"

"Spirit… Power?!"

"It burns!"

The Demons quickly moved back, only to see the barrier they worked so hard to destroy repair itself in seconds. Now glowing with bright azure and pink color, resembling a gigantic, blossoming lotus.

Ruby and the Vampires watched in surprise as the entire barrier was healed in a split of a second, while the demons were forced to keep their distance.

"T-This is amazing…"

At the same time, Amehia could hear the voice of young girl echoing within her mind, as she combined her powers with the Blue Lotus Flower Spirit.

"Thank you for becoming my vessel, Amehia…"

"A-Are you… The spirit?"

"That's right. I am the Blue Lotus of Tranquility, a Divine Spirit that originates from another world named Zipangu."

The Demons trying to infiltrate were quickly rained by giant petals, "Y-You do?!"

"Your body had the best compatibility with me, as Yuki had none because she had already made a contract with stronger divine spirits…"

"R-Really?"

"Indeed, those two brought me here after fully combining their powers with her. They pretty much dragged me into this whole thing. I hope I am not bothering you this much."

"Of course you aren't! This is the first time I am talking with an actual spirit to begin with! But why… Did I change?"

"Your body was compatible, but too fragile, so I let you evolve until you could adapt to my powers. With this, you can create a barrier to protect your home, Amehia."

"A barrier…"

Amehia realized this wasn't just to defend against the demons, but against all other monsters out there. Now that the barrier from the dungeon disappeared, this barrier created by her might now become the new protection for her village.

"That's right… I can finally use my power to protect my beloved home!"

In that moment, the blossoming barrier released a wave of energy, as flowers grew around the dirt surrounding the barrier, which then transformed into giant plant monsters.

The Demons, filled with disbelief, could only step back a bit more…
