Supreme Lord: I can extract everything! - Chapter 122

Chapter 122: Timid Spirit
4 Stars!!!

It was already beyond his expectations to summon two Demi-Humans, two tamed Monsters, and a total of three 3-Star Summons, but there was also a 4-Star Summon amongst his new subjects – a Nature Spirit at that!!

There was a low chance to summon a 4-Star Summon with a Mythic Summoning Scroll, but it was extremely rare. Even the chance to summon a 3-Star Summon using a Mythic Summoning Scroll was relatively low at 10%.

Michael was quite fortunate summoning three 3-Star Summons, but that kind of luck was not out of the world.

However, summoning a 4-Star Nature Spirit was something else, especially in a place such as the Untamed Jungle.

The Untamed Jungle was flourishing with origin energy and beautiful nature. The growth of plants and monsters was fast in the Origin Expanse, but it was even faster in the Untamed Jungle.

The flowers, herbs, and seeds that had been planted in his territory not too long ago were already fully blossomed, and ready to be harvested. The growth of plants was more than 50% faster inside the Untamed Jungle than anywhere else.

By adding a magical helper such as a 4-Star Nature Spirit to aid the growth of herbs and plants, the time required for herbs to grow would be cut even shorter. But that was not all. A Nature Spirit’s green finger would increase the quality of nature in its range drastically.

Fruits would taste better, herbs would have a stronger medical effect, and the potency of mythic plants would be elevated as well.

Nature Spirits can control the nature around them as well. The stronger a Nature Spirit the bigger their range, and the stronger their control of the surrounding area.

Inside the Untamed Jungle, where everything was densely grown and overshadowed by nature, a 4-Star Nature Spirit could be considered a disaster for everyone who chose to be foolish enough to attack it, or the territory it lived in.

Furthermore, if used properly, Nature Spirits could turn into powerful Combat Units with great support and crowd control skills. This was especially the case for a 4-Star Nature Spirit that ought to have gained great achievements over the course of its first life.

The thought of adding a powerful Nature Spirit with the capability of controlling the movements of large monster groups within the Untamed Jungle seemed like a dream. It was exciting and caused Michael to act immediately.

Michael began to search the Nature Spirit as he realized that he missed the summoning of the most important Summon.

He used his Link of Loyalty to pinpoint the direction of the Nature Spirit and found it quickly.

However, what he found confused him. It was totally beyond his expectations.

The Nature Spirit was a small inconspicuous tree sapling with tiny roots, which it used to walk around slowly.

Nobody paid any attention to it until now, which was also why it had to hide near the Summoning Gate, trembling in fear. Everyone was so huge and trampling around the Summoning Gate, nearly causing it to be bulldozed several times in the few minutes that passed since it was summoned to the Untamed Jungle.

It couldn’t even ensure its own safety because the nearest bushes and trees were too far away from the center of the clearing, otherwise, it would have used its power to protect itself and push everyone aside

When Michael bent down to look at the Nature Spirit, the Nature Spirit issued a loud creaking noise. Michael felt like the Nature Spirit was complaining to him and crying loudly. It jumped straight in Michael’s arms, seeking safety in his embrace.

‘What the…’

Michael was a little shocked when he realized how timid the Nature Spirit was. He didn’t expect something like that from a 4-Star Nature Spirit.

“Why are you so tiny? You look like a Starless Nature Spirit,” Michael asked, slightly confused.

His knowledge about Spirits was not great, but he knew enough to know that most Elemental Spirits would take on the appearance of something closely related to their Element.

Starless Elemental Spirits usually looked like ordinary flames, a ball of water, a rock, or a Seedling. However, the higher the star rating, the stronger Elemental Spirits were – usually. Elemental Spirits gained strength by developing their form.

Fire Spirits would grow stronger flames and expand at first. After its flames grew to a certain extent, their form would change.

Under normal circumstances, a 3-Star Elemental Spirit would change its form and develop continuously. It would become stronger as its form evolved to the next level.

But the Nature Spirit in front of him was nothing like that. It could use its tiny roots to walk, but that was already the only advantage it possessed compared to a Starless Nature Spirit. At least, that was what its appearance suggested.

Furthermore, the Nature Spirit was timid and overly clingy. Its roots coiled around Michael’s arm as if it would never let go of him.

Michael’s dream of using the Nature Spirit to aid the Combat Units in hunting in the Untamed Jungle – which could be considered the best region for Nature Spirits to use their powers – shattered into oblivion.

“You don’t really want to fight, do you?” Michael asked, still holding onto the last straw of hope.

However, the emotions spread through the recently established Link of Loyalty were so overbearing, filled with fear and denial, that Michael could only give up.

“It’s okay…you don’t have to fight,” Michael said calmingly.

He was a little bit disappointed that he couldn’t use the Nature Spirit in combat since it was a great loss but forcing it to join fights when it was THAT afraid of fighting would create chaos. The Nature Spirit might even end up hurting its allies and turn the tide of the battle against them.

“I will give you a nice place where you can spread your roots and grow freely. However, you might have to protect yourself and the territory if enemies attack. You won’t be able to avoid defending yourself in that case!”

As long as the 4-Star Nature Spirit could develop into a Tree Nature Spirit, it would be able to control a bigger range of the Untamed Jungle around the clearing. That way, the Nature Spirit could be used as an additional layer of defense.

The Nature Spirit should also be able to help him develop his territory in the Untamed Jungle once it has grown up a little. It was still the Lowest-grade Tier-0 Nature Spirit and could improve a lot.

Furthermore, its presence was enough to affect the environment around it. The blades of grass next to the Summoning Gate had already begun to grow, demonstrating just how great the Nature Spirit’s potential was.

Michael had yet to test the limit of its power, but as a 4-Star Summon, it had to be special – even if it couldn’t fight.

Combined with the Orb of Hostility, and the installed traps and arrays, it could detect and protect the territory, while simultaneously accelerating the growth of the Tiatcha, Cocoa pods, various herbs, and other plants.

Adding fertilizer, and the 3-Star Botanic Magician, whom Michael had summoned today as well, it wouldn’t be much of an issue to grow multiple sources of income. That was especially important!

“It’s okay,” Michael repeated while patting the trembling Nature Spirit.

‘It’s okay, after all, I gained more than enough combat units to change my future plans!!’
