LGHTNOVELBOOK Chapter 1322: Farewell

"It seems this is it, Elayne-san, you’re fading away quite quickly now," Abe no Seimei giggled.
"A-Ah! Really?" I gasped, noticing half my body was gone! "Uwah, this is a bit creepy; don’t you think?"
"Calm down, it’s alright, you’ll be back to your body in no time," he smiled. "Thank you, it was a brief moment, but I enjoyed talking with you… It has been many years since I just had a talk with another human, especially someone as beautiful as you. It’s always Kamis or Shikigami here, and they just can’t understand that we humans like small talk and enjoy some snacks, right?"
"Hahah, I suppose you’re not wrong! Thank you so much for your help, Abe, even though we just met an hour ago, you did so much for me," I said.
"Well, it was nothing much," he shrugged. "And you’re also the new master of my little Kaguya! So please take care of her for me. I don’t know if she’s the same as before anymore now that she had grown up. But I always remembered that she was a very lonely girl. I wished I could have given her more time, but I was always so busy in the capital and with the Shogun’s requests… and also handling all the Onmyōji and everything else, haah… Just tell her that her papa loves her, please."
"S-Sure!" I smiled. "I will, thank you again! See ya!"
"May we meet again, if fate wills it," he nodded, waving his hand.

In that moment, I came back home, finding myself sitting over the grass, Mark was there with Kaguya, and even my daughter who was worried. And also Gabriel too, and Katherine, and the Great Spirit.
"W-Well, I’m back… Ah, how much did it take?" I wondered, noticing a powerful Aura coming from my Soul. "Woah! What’s this?!"
I gasped as I noticed my Aura reaching the skies, overflowing with Gold and Pink light. A huge, beautiful pink and purple bellflower tree was erected behind me, and then an enormous pagoda with nine floors.
It was the image of my very Soul after it absorbed these two Soul Traits, it completely changed, beyond what I had ever expected!
"Y-You’re back! It took you like half an hour…" said Mark. "Are you doing alright?"
"Y-Yes, I’m fine! I just… Hah, a lot happened actually!" I sighed, glaring at Kaguya.
She smiled nervously for a bit.
"She already told us that you might’ve been kidnaped by someone called Abe no Seimei," sighed my daughter. "I was about to go inside your soul somehow to rescue you mom…"
"K-Kidnaped?! Gosh, that’s not right! Abe no Seimei was such a gentlehearted man, what is she even talking about?" I laughed.
"Phew, so it wasn’t nothing bad?" Mark wondered, feeling relieved. "Um… W-Was he handsome or something?"
"Don’t be jealous! He was a very old grandpa, I could never like him anyways," I shrugged. "Also I love you, so I don’t have eyes for other men…"
"I-I didn’t said anything…" Mark blushed a bit.
Eventually, he’ll surpass all of them anyways, I just know it.
"Big sis, your soul is so big now! Wowowow!" said Gabriel, looking at my Soul Aura.
"I-It has become even stronger than I anticipated!" said Kaguya. "D-Did my previous master gave you some of his divinity to improve the Soul Orbs?! I can’t believe it!"
"Yeah he did, he was so kind with me," I smiled.
"R-Really?" she gasped. "Usually my master was a cold, ruthless man to anybody but his closest people. I didn’t imagine that… Hmm, I guess he was pretty nice with women though, yes. Pretty, beautiful women around your age, they were always his weakness."
"E-Eh? Is that so…" I muttered. "Um, oh well! He was nice anyways, so that’s fine."
The Great Spirit stared at me in disbelief.
"Damn, the power of being a pretty woman, huh?" she laughed.
"I-It’s not a power…" I sighed. "Anyways, I got two amazing Soul Traits, I think this’ll help us resolve the conflict with Merlinus and give us a strong edge against him!"
I tapped the ground as I was able to see my internal information through wooden plate, it worked similarly to the Soul Mirror, but only for me.

[Soul Trait]: [Mystic Bellflower Tree Dreamscape]
By consuming large quantities of Mana and Spirit Energy, summon a giant Mystic Bellflower Tree within the Realm of Dreams directly connected to you. While the tree is summoned, nobody expect you can detect it, see it, feel its presence, or even discern its essence or calculate you’re using it.
When summoned, the Mystic Bellflower Tree will unleash a {Dreamscape} at your command, which will encompass an area as large as the Mana supplied. This Dreamscape only exists within Minds and the Dream Realm and can only target those you desire to target within a certain area.
Whenever someone capable of having dreams is in the range of this Dreamscape, you can choose to make them fall asleep, in which their minds will find themselves in the Dream Realm, protected by the Mystic Bellflower Tree from any harm.
You can make anybody that is weaker than you fall asleep, or as long as you supply sufficient Mana and Spirit Energy to overwhelm their resistance and forcefully make them fall asleep.
Once asleep, the bodies of those that are Dreaming will be encompassed by the {Mystic Bellflower Tree’s Roots} and carried away to safety or wherever you desire, becoming Dreams themselves temporarily, and so, invisible to plain sight.
The Mystic Bellflower Tree can also be used to create special {Mystic Bellflower Barriers} when summoned, increasing the Magic Power of you and your allies within its range by twice as much, while protecting them from most Magic Damage as long as enough Mana is supplied.

"See this? This is the Soul Trait we’ll use to save everyone in the Luminous Kingdom!" I said, showing it to Mark and Elena, her friends also came closer to check what was going on.
"With this… for sure, it could work so efficiently!" nodded Mark.
"Wow, how did you get something so specific, mom?" Elena wondered.
"This is the power of Soul Traits!"
