Chapter 1326: Logging Back In
-----
Once we logged back into BNLO, I quickly checked my inventory, finding out that what I had made for someone was already finished by another of my Avatars yesterday, but because she logged out I had no chance to give it to her.
"First thing first, I should quickly give this to Melissa, a promise is a promise after all."
What I had taken from my inventory was a series of accessories, including rings, bracelets, and necklaces, all made for her so it will absorb the negative, cursed, and demonic aura she releases naturally.
These items will help her regulate this energy at will, while also helping her control this absorbed energy for her to fight much better and unleash even stronger spells or attacks.
Yeah, I had thought about all of this in more depth than I imagined and found out that her powers couldn't just be completely negated.
They had a lot of potential as some sort of Negative Essence or something, like what Rita does! She gathers this evil energy with her orbs, then unleashes super strong spells with them.
It's kind of the same logic there, but she accumulates this energy within her accessories naturally!
"Oh, those accessories are for Melisa, right?" wondered Mark. "They look nice!"
"Yeah right? I did put some effort into making them," I said. "And they…"

I explained to him, my daughter, and her friends what these accessories could do, surprising them quite a bit more than I had imagined.
"Sounds great," said my daughter. "With that she could potentially become really strong… Maybe she'll be of some use at the end, I hope."
"Let's hope," said Anna. "Anyways. I was wondering about Angelina's party, we haven't seen them in a while, where are they anyways? Will they join us?"
"It seems they've been busy IRL," I said. "But I did see them connected today, and I sent them a message about everything that has happened and today's plans. They seemed to be on board for whatever would happen… Although I am not so sure if we should really bring them into this confrontation or not."
"We should, I mean, the more the merrier!" said Elisa. "Right? Now let's go!"
We ran upstairs, finding Ambil who was working on something, he seemed shocked we appeared out of nowhere, we surprised him.
"Uwack!" he screamed. "You lot! Why are you so damn silent when walking upstairs? Couldn't hear a single thing until you literally appeared behind me!"
"Sorry, but we're back," I said. "What are you making?"
"I'm mostly reinforcing my own equipment and fixing some faults in them," he said. "If you need anything repaired, say something now before it breaks, just for today I'm giving you a discount."
"Oh nice!" my daughter said. "Then can you reinforce my katana and my armor? And this too."
She ended giving him a pile of items, wasn't she taking too much advantage of him?!
"Hey brat, don't take advantage of an old man like that!" he complained. "I'll help but just this once, and don't you dare ask for more than this, you heard me?!"
"Hahah, ok," my daughter laughed, acting like a troll.
"Then me too, please!" said Elisa.
"A-And me…!" Monica said.
"And me as well, might as well," Anna nodded.
"Ugh… Anymore?" he wondered, asking us.
"No I think that's alright," I said. "Where's Acorn and Nieve?"
"They went to the forest again," said Ambil. "They said something about preparing forces there or something…"
"Forces?" I wondered. "Wait, do they want to recruit warriors to come fight here? But that's… after that invasion from the undead I believe they should rest! Why would they risk their lives here…"
"Well, that's what they said!" said Ambil. "I'm not sure what they'll end up doing but keep in consideration that everyone over there loves you a lot, Planta. And they just want the best for you."
"Hmm…" I nodded. "I-I guess so… I'll have to talk with them later, for now, do you know where Melisa could be?"
"She must be with the Queen and the King right now," said Ambil. "The other craftsmen though? No idea what they're up to, but I believe they all wanted to move away and not participate. Can't blame them, this entire thing seems almost suicidal."
"Hey it's not suicidal! We got some chances now," I smiled. "I got some pretty strong Abilities we'll use later, they should make things… considerably more doable, I hope."
"Hmm, I wonder what is it? Hopefully not just more trees or plants…" he said.
"Haha! Don't worry, it won't be that," I smiled proudly, nodding. "Let's go find Melissa then. We also need to talk with the King and the Queen about the preparations, then go visit the druids and… Yeah we'll be super busy!"
First thing first, we moved as quickly as possible to the castle, flying into the skies with my wings and then descending rapidly, causing yet another commotion.
This time, however, the soldiers recognized us and let us inside, where we landed at the throne, room, both rulers weren't here though.
"Where are they- Oh!"
We ended walking around until we found a large open area, the castle's own barracks, where the rulers were supervising the preparations for the battle. There were over a thousand soldiers in there, from magic knights, paladins, and so on.
"Oh, Planta! Welcome back," said the Queen. "It seems you've come in a hurry; we're still preparing everything. I was thinking of asking you about the druids, and if they got things prepared or we should begin immediately? We still got plenty of time, but time is precious so we shouldn't waste it either way."
"Oh yeah, I haven't done that yet… have you seen Melissa though, queen?" I asked.
"Melissa? Oh you mean that crafter girl," said the King. "She's playing with our son down there. For some reason he seems immune to her cursed aura. And he took a liking at sparring with her."
"S-Sparring? I never considered Melissa to be that type of girl…" I said.
"Well you'll be surprised," the queen giggled. "Come."
