Hana gave Seiji information on several Spirit Worlds, including their stability, the Spirit World's general terrain and spiritual creatures, precious resources that had already been discovered, and possible factions and personnel that Seiji might encounter.
This information was doubtlessly valuable. Seiji expressed his gratitude enthusiastically, but was rejected.
His tsundere sister was so cute ~
Feeling grateful, Seiji seriously considered which Spirit World he should go to. In the end, he decided...
Nagawa Amusement Park!
This was the place where he had previously met Iroha and Naoki Hasegawa.
The main reason was that the Spirit World here had a relatively large number of "silver fruits."
Silver fruits were silver fruits that grew from absorbing a high concentration of Mana. Spiritual Ability users would be able to increase their Mana and even Spiritual Power by eating them!
…
Later that night, Seiji prepared himself and went out by himself.
Little Shi wanted to go with him after learning what he was going to do. However, Seiji convinced her to stay at home.
"I'm just going to check out the situation. I definitely won't take any risks," Seiji stated.
This was his first time going to a Spirit World. Indeed, he wanted to check out the actual situation.
It would be best if he could find silver fruits, but it would be normal if he couldn't. After all, these precious resources weren't everywhere in Spirit Worlds, and there were still competitors.
Seiji took a taxi to the amusement park. Just as he was about to arrive, the taxi driver suddenly stopped the taxi and refused to go any further.
He was affected by a spell … a barrier.
This was probably set up by all the factions working together to prevent ordinary people from getting close.
Seiji paid the taxi driver and walked over by himself.
As he approached the amusement park, he saw some people … Spiritual Ability users.
Some of them were dressed normally, some were wearing special clothing, some were wearing special equipment, and some were carrying heavy weapons …
This was the second time that Seiji had seen so many Spiritual Ability users. Compared to the Winter Snow Festival party, this felt more like a cosplay event.
That was probably what ordinary people would think if they saw this scene.
Should he approach them?
After considering it for a moment, Seiji decided to wait slightly further away.
About fifteen minutes later, the amusement park began to glow.
This light was a Spiritual Light that could only be seen with [Astral Vision]. At first, it was white, then green, then red, and so on. The colors kept changing as it expanded and rose higher and higher, gradually transforming into a gigantic screen of light!
It was as if an aurora had landed on the ground. It was incredibly beautiful.
After the light barrier stopped expanding, the Spiritual Ability users all jumped into it and disappeared within the light.
Seiji walked over and jumped in as well.
His field of vision was filled with radiance, and then it suddenly became clear.
"This is …" He glanced around and exclaimed in his heart.
In the huge ancient palace, the floor cracked, some of the walls collapsed, and nearly half of the dome was gone.
Flowers and grasses grew everywhere, and small gray butterflies fluttered among them. Green vines thicker than a man's thighs grew out of the biggest cracks on the ground, spreading on the floor and walls, and reaching out beyond the dome.
Light shone down from above, forming a pale yellow pillar of light. Dust slowly floated in the air.
"'Forest Palace'."
This was the name of the Spirit World formed by the Nagawa Amusement Park.
The basic topography here was the fusion of a forest and an ancient palace, hence the name.
Ignoring the plants that grew here, Seiji still didn't know which country or era this palace was from, but he was certain that it definitely wasn't from Sakura Island.
Seiji felt that the scene in front of him was like a scene from an adventure cartoon. It was a little like he had traveled to a fantasy world.
At this moment, a gigantic figure flew by in the sky. It was so large that it completely blocked out the light coming from above.
Seiji didn't see clearly what it was, but he was certain that it wasn't something to be trifled with.
Spiritual creatures … or more accurately, Spirit World creatures. Some wouldn't actively attack humans, but some would attack humans the moment they saw them. They were a threat when exploring a Spirit World.
Seiji turned around and saw a screen of light attached to the wall behind him.
Anyone who stepped into the screen of light would be able to return to reality. Then, if they returned, they might appear in a different location. Basically, the location was random.
Seiji needed to remember this location and leave before the Spirit World's transformation stopped, or find the screen of light that other people had used to enter.
'Let's begin exploring.'
Seiji started walking.
He met with some creatures the moment he walked out of the palace.
Wolves … they were completely black, and their eyes glowed a dark red. There were three of them.
According to his information, these were the most common active monsters in the Forest Palace. They were agile and fast, and moved in groups.
The three black wolves howled in a low voice and charged at him simultaneously!
Seiji cast the [Body-strengthening spell] and raised his kasaya wooden sword to fight them.
* Slash slash slash … *
Easily defeated!
The injured black wolves didn't bleed. Their wounds were red, and faint red mist was spreading from them.
Not long after they fell to the ground, their bodies transformed into a dark red mist that completely dissipated, leaving nothing behind.
"There's nothing to gain from fighting monsters. I should avoid fighting as much as possible." Seiji recognized this point.
This wasn't a game dungeon. Spiritual creatures wouldn't drop equipment or items, so there was no benefit to fighting monsters here.
Seiji raised his guard and continued forward.
There were gigantic vines and trees, various flowers and butterflies, a ruined palace, tall towers, and canals with clear water flowing through them … All of these things combined together to form an amazing scenery.
If this was a tourist attraction, it would doubtlessly be a top-level scenery!
Unfortunately, it wasn't. There were all sorts of dangerous creatures here, making it impossible to properly enjoy the beautiful scenery.
Individual black wolves were easy to deal with, but it would be troublesome if there were too many of them.
Above them were black monkeys, black tigers, and black bears. All three of these monsters were capable of casting Mana Bullets, so it would take some effort to kill them.
Above them were black eagles. If Seiji encountered them in an open area, they would shoot out a barrage of Mana Bullets with a single flap of their wings. Their high-speed diving attacks were even more powerful.
Although he should have been able to kill them if he continued fighting, Seiji chose to avoid them instead of fighting them head-on.
After exploring for a while, he didn't discover anything useful, nor did he run into anyone else.
'Exploring in real life is quite different from the game.' Seiji sighed inwardly.
In RPG games, killing monsters gave experience and dropped items. As he walked, he would see treasure chests, run into interesting puzzles, or run into special events …
But reality wasn't so considerate. He didn't gain anything from fighting monsters, and he could only remain vigilant as he moved forward. He didn't even have the time to enjoy the scenery. He didn't know where to go, or how to find what he wanted …
Suddenly, Seiji stopped in his tracks.
That was because he faintly heard something worth paying attention to.
After listening carefully, he quickened his pace and cautiously headed in the direction of the sound.
Then, he saw a small plaza.
There was a large tree that was more than twenty meters tall in the plaza. Its leaves were black, and it had red peach-like fruits. There were also a few silver fruits … silver!?
'I found the silver fruits!' Something flashed in Seiji's eyes.
There was a gigantic dark-green creature in front of the large tree … it had green scales all over its body and two green front claws. This black eagle was more than twice the size of the black eagle that Seiji encountered earlier!
There were three Spiritual Ability users in front of this black eagle. All of them wore uniforms similar to that of special forces. They wore helmets and held guns that continuously fired Mana Bullets at the gigantic black eagle.
