Chapter 1204 The Limits Of Growth
-----
As the Great Spirit laughed, I glanced once more to the Domain Information, which displayed itself on that wooden sign for my convenience. It was as if my Domain itself wanted to act as a System-like interface for me, which I appreciated.

So first of all, I ended jumping from Tier 1 to Tier 4 immediately… Thanks to 500 purified Mana Crystals extracted from those very powerful Hollows that invaded my Domain.
But I think that wouldn't had been enough… Maybe the bodies of the two Druids, their essence fully merged with my Domain when the crystals were absorbed.
Maybe that's how it jumped so quickly and… well, why I got those two mysterious Guardians with me now.
Yeah, the [Wandering Nature Soul: Squirrel of Youth] and the [Protective Nature Soul: Turtle of Wisdom].
Unlike the Faes, who appeared right after they were summoned, these two Guardians are supposedly already here, even when they had yet to appear.
I suppose they won't appear out of nowhere and just start talking to us, their conditions must be different, I believe.
After all, they are… well, the Nature Souls of people, not Faes. So they're entirely different. Though, one of my Domain Themes is Nature Soul Shrine, and the Domain Ability Nature Soul Summon is there too.
But honestly, after what happened and their sacrifice, I don't really want to bother their souls. I'll let them decide when to appear or do whatever they want. I don't think its fair to just call them now.n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om
There must be a reason why they're not just openly appearing and all of that after all, so let's leave them.
"Hahh…"
Despite the funny moments of Oberon's letter, I still… well, don't feel that good anyways, what happened yesterday was really impactful. The very reason I've upgraded my Domain is because of that after all.
"What should I do now?" I wondered, glancing at Mark and my daughter. "I've spent most of the Crystals, there's the other half but… I don't know, should we use them?"
"Well, I think that… Yes, you should," said Mark. "Although our prioritizing our growth would be nice, I think protecting and strengthening your domain even more is more crucial."
"I agree with Mark!" nodded Elena. "Also we got our Divine Fusion Skills we can use here now, right? They're connected to our Souls after all."
"Right…" I nodded. "Hmm, still, I don't want to use everything… I wonder, Katherine, can you tell if I could Rank Up the Domain again with more crystals?"
"Hmm… Let me check," the fairy nodded. "Hmmm!"
She closed her eyes, expanding an aura that resembled a domain of green and golden light. Which then was absorbed by the Domain.
"Yes, I can feel it… if you use a bit over four hundred, you might be able to get to the next Rank!" she said.
"Really?!" I gasped. "Nice, then…!"
"Wait a minute," she stopped me. "Are you really sure you want to do this though? If your Domain grows even faster now, it might become unstable. Three Ranks in a row is already insane… I am not really sure how your Domain hasn't just broken out and begun merging with the world outside.
Usually Domains of your Rank take over entire places, hence why most people build their Domains outside of big cities."
"Eh? I didn't know…" I muttered.
"I would say… Let your domain rest, use the crystals on yourselves," Katherine said. "I know you're worried about being attacked again the same way as before, but its utterly impossible for it to happen again after these changes… Your Domain has finally become what it should have been from the beginning. Another rank won't change that fact. It might risk making it unstable though."
"So… it's a no, huh?" I wondered.
"I agree with her," nodded the Great Spirit. "Let it rest for a week, minimum. Use those crystals to get stronger, you guys! You need them."
"Damn, well, if that's the case, then there's no other way," Marks shrugged. "Let's try absorbing as many as we can until we feel… well, tired like Elisa and Monica did."
"Okay then!" Elena nodded.
"Fine," I agreed. "Let's begin."
We sat around the huge pile of mana crystals and began absorbing them over time. I wasn't too patient as to do it one by one, so I absorbed like four per refinement process.
Auras of Mana spread everywhere at once, as we continued assimilating the Mana and refining our Magic Circle and Physique, which we've been exercising daily.
Eventually, as we accumulated more physical workout, our physiques also responded after absorbing a lot of Mana Crystals.
My limit was 100, after that, I felt too bloated, like I would end up puking my own Mana reserves, so I stopped there.
"Phew… It's done."
FLUOSH!
My Aura of Mana surged from my body and Magic Circle, stronger than ever before. Glowing with gold, silver, green, red, and blue colors.
The runes of my magic circle came together, old spells quickly merged and created new ones, constantly growing in power at the same time.
I felt another element coursing through me now, my connection with my Avatar in BNLO growing stronger, giving me her Time Element, although much weaker than Planta.
"This is… amazing!"
I felt my body glowing brightly, as my physique evolved, for a moment, angelic wings grew from my back, spreading out and glowing with silver light.
Then, a second pair of wings appeared below them, which were made of golden feathers.
And even my Halo started trembling, glowing.
"T-This is…?"
Stay tuned with empire
