Volume 8 Chapter 42: Contract With The Great Spirit

Late at night, everyone was asleep. With the construction of the farm and the training field, it was time for the pergola. There were still a lot of things they still needed to incorporate into the island. But this was a great start!

"Keith." Keith was slowly woken up by a soft voice. Raising his head, he noticed Fira sleeping. He patted the spirit's head as he got out of bed.

"Diana, what's the matter?" The great spirit of nature was by the window. This was quite a surprise for him since she would always telepathically talk with him.

"Sorry about waking you up so early."

"It's fine." Actually, it's not even morning. It was quite literally midnight.

"What do you want to talk about?"

"Please come with me to the second island."

"Sure." The two headed to the second island. And Nephele and Udine were here as well.

"What's the matter, everyone?" To see the three great spirits together was quite the sight.

"It's time for us to end this," Diana commented.

"Eh?" End what?

"The contract we have with one another."

"Oh, yeah. I completely forgot about this." The life and death contract they had with one another. Keith almost forgot about this.

"Are you all better now?"

"Mmhmm." Diana nodded.

"Then let's end this," He only had this contract to help Diana recover.

Two red circles appeared below them. Each one with the same emblem as Diana stated, "I, Diana, hereby break the contract with my contractor."

"I accept!" Keith nodded. That was when the two red circles started to spin around. Slowly, the red circles shattered!

"!" A wave of pain formed in Keith's head. Nephele quickly came to his assistance. Udine did the same for Diana.

So this is what it feels like to break a contract. The pain from his head slowly spread across his body.

"With that, we're both free from one another," Diana sighed.

"I see," Keith asked, "Are you going to go somewhere?"

The narrative has been stolen; if detected on Amazon, report the infringement.

"Hmm?"

"Since you broke the contract, you can go wherever you go," Keith grinned, "But can you return to the island when you have time. I really need your help." To be honest, it was really greedy and selfish. But he really needed Diana. She was the perfect dorm mother, caring and talented. She was about to take care of the island when he was not there.

"..."

"Pff!" Keith looked up and noticed Nephele and Udine laughing. Did I say something funny?

"Big Sister Diana, you should explain everything to him." Nephele was about to burst laughing.

"Keith, I'm not leaving the island." Diana scratched her head, "I canceled the contract because I want to form a contract with you."

"Eh?"

"I've been thinking about it for a long time, but I want you to become my contractor." As she interacted with Keith, it was the most fun she had in some time.

"..."

"Are you fine with me?"

"Of course! I'm glad it's you!" Keith nodded.

"Understood. Then please come here." Diana and Keith were now positioned beside the seed. That was when Diana started to glow a beautiful light green. It was as if they were in a different space.

"I, the great spirit of nature, have decided to make a contract. Do you accept it?"

"Yes. I, Keith Freed, accept." When that was said, a dark glowing circle started to form around them. Slowly, Keith's shoulder had a tattoo mark forming.

"It's occurring." Udine and Nephele watched.

"Keith!" As that occurred, three people rushed onto the island.

"Hello, guys." Nepehele waved.

"What's going on?! There's an absurd amount of mana!" All three had felt an absurd amount of mana forming around the island. So they quickly ran over here.

"The two are forming a contract," Udine commented.

"Oh." Those tense expressions they had just dropped once they realized what had transpired. Cadmus scoffed, "It's about damn time!" That was something they all realized sooner or later.

It was just when Diana would pull the trigger.

"Look what's happening to the tree in the back." The seed was rumbling behind them as it shook back and forth. That was when it burst like a firework! It grew so giant as everything started to sprout behind them.

"What incredible vitality!" Aidiun gasped. Everything on the whole island was growing rapidly.

"It's not just that; they're getting bigger than before." This was a surprise. The vegetables from the farm were getting bigger. They already thought Diana's ability to increase vegetables was incredible. This was absurd.

"That's because she found herself a perfect match," Udine muttered.

"...This ain't a marriage interview."

This entire process took a few more minutes before it was done.

Keith's shoulder had a rich dark green tattoo. Keith laughed, "This is a cool tattoo." But then he noticed a tiny little petal dropping to the ground.

"!" Keith looked up and noticed the beautiful tree, "Holy! Did you do that?"

"Of course not. This was us."

'Us?" I did that as well?

"Mmhmm, it was from us forming a contract. When doing so, a great deal of mana implodes around the surroundings." That was why she waited. The amount of mana set off was so pure. And that purity supported the plants around them.

"That's great!" Keith laughed, "But it's so different from the one in the dungeon." Light and darkness. This was literally the opposite of one another. The one in the dungeon was dark and had a prominent scent of blood. Those blood petals didn't help.

However, the one here was pretty, as it had beautiful blue petals. It glowed in the night, which made it even more beautiful.

"Let's have a party!" Cadmus raised his hand.

"Huh?!" You know it's the middle of the night, right? Diana shook her head, "If you want to get a fruit from this tree, then you won't get anything for now."

"What?!"

"They only sprouted a second ago. The fruit will probably come out tomorrow!" Diana touched the tree as she turned to Keith, "Keith, come and touch it."

"Sure." Keith placed his hand on the tree. That was when a warm feeling surged into his body. It was like his body was invigorated with something.

"It wanted to thank you."

"Thank me?"

"Mmhmm, for saving it from being corrupted."

"That was all you."

"How is your body, Keith?" Aidiun questioned. Being contracted with a great spirit would change the body.

"Hmm," Keith waved his hand, "I feel stronger. I also feel refreshed. I'm two times stronger."

"...What kind of strength bs did I see?" Cadmus laughed. Instant strength on the fly. How could people get this strong?!

"..." The others didn't say anything either.
