Brand New Life Online: Rise Of The Goddess Of Harvest

Chapter 800 Lesser Divine Blessing Of Blacksmithing

-----

A powerful connection with Ignis was created, almost as strong as my connection with the Great Harvest Spirit, if it wasn't because I became her Vessel instead, meanwhile, Ignis was much freer in what he could do.

But what he meant by "sharing the same house" was that he and the Great Spirit will both inhabit within my Soul and Body as contracted Spirits, similarly to the Dragon Spirits inside of my Dragon Heart.

I felt his divine powers surging into my body, the flames were not really assimilated into me like Mark though, but I could feel them within me, and I could channel them to an extent too, although limitedly.

Ding!

[You have created a Contract with [Ignis, the Third Divine Forging Flame Spirit]!]

[You have fully connected with the [Third Divine Hephaestus' Smithy]!]

[As the possessor of the [Hephaestus' Successor] Subclass, you've been given one of Hephaestus Divine Blessings!]

[You acquired the [Divine Hephaestus' Blessing: Smelting Synthesis]!]

[You can now create a portal to enter any of the Divine Smithies you've found, teleporting into them at any time you desire.]

[However, the portals cannot be created in the middle of a battle, or when you're exhausted of Mana.]

[The [Third Divine Hephaestus' Smithy] has now become your property, you can check the building's entire status, which has been assimilated into your Territory Management System.]

[By further upgrading the Smithies, you can receive new Effects and Abilities from them, making your crafting much easier.]

"Smelting Synthesis?" I wondered. "Oh! And it seems that this has become a building too! How interesting…"

"Indeed!" Nodded Ignis. 

"Anyways!" I quickly pushed him away from me, as he was getting too close. "Why did you kiss my hand? You didn't ask for permission! If you're a pervert or a weirdo, I will terminate our contract right away! I thought you were a respectful divine spirit!"

"E-Eh?! Wait a second, I was just messing around! Don't get too offended over something that wasn't anything at all!" Ignis suddenly got nervous. "Come on- URGH!"

However, I grabbed the connection I had with him and started to twist it with my power.

"I'm sorry!"

He quickly bowed his head to me and asked for forgiveness.

"You better be! I have a boyfriend, you know?! And I didn't really like how you teased him there! You better behave! What would your father even think of you if he saw you acting like an idiot?" I reprimanded him as if I was his mother.

"I apologize, Master… I got so happy because I was finally "revived" and… Well, I am known for having a rather playful reputation among my siblings… Sorry again." He kept apologizing.

Mark walked to my side, trying to tell me that it was enough with that.

"Come on, don't get so angry, I am not so feeble as to get… Jealous over such a thing." He laughed a bit.

"Hmm, okay." I sighed. "But you should apologize to him too." I told Ignis.

The blazing spirit quickly gave Mark a glance.

"Sorry…" He sighed. 

"It's fine, no worries. You were just playing around, right?" Mark said, his eyes glowing bright red.

"Y-Yes…" Ignis sighed. "Look, to show you my sincerity, I will bestow upon you some minor Blessings as well, through my connection with Planta, everyone with the Blacksmith Skill can get some buff! Planta, can I borrow some Divinity from you?"

"Divinity? I have that?!" I asked.

"Yes, you've been cultivating it within you. Don't worry, I will borrow a small piece of it that you can recover in some days." He said. "Nothing much. Also I need Spirit and Mana."

"Okay, got it." I nodded, without overthinking it. "If it's to help out my friends, it's fine."

"Very well!" He nodded, Ignis extended his arms and then released a wave of crimson energy that covered everyone's bodies. "[Lesser Divine Blessing]!"

FLAAASH!

Small golden flames flew into their bodies and fused into their chests, quickly awakening within them a new power.

Ding!

[Ignis, the Third Divine Forging Flame Spirit] has granted a [Lesser Divine Blessing] to all your allies that possess the [Blacksmithing] Skill!]

[Their Blacksmithing Abilities have been boosted by +100%, they can now channel a small [Divine Forging Flame Ember] whenever they create items using Blacksmithing.]

"Amazing!" Acorn said, playing with the tiny fire.

"It feels like a lot of knowledge was drilled into my head…" Nieve sighed.

"Ugh, my head hurts! How the hell is this a Divine Blessing, dude?!" Rita complained as usual.

"It seems that the +100% increase in Blacksmithing Abilities means that we gained more knowledge…" Said Brisingra. "Amazing, it feels like a small amount of the knowledge of the God of Blacksmiths was imbued into my head. And this tiny Ember, it is a Divine Flame too?!"

"It is a small one, so you can't do too much with it." Said Ignis. "But you should still be able to use it to enhance the items you create quite well, above others."

"Amazing…" Even Ambil received the blessing. "This is more than I could have ever asked for, I am eternally grateful, Divine Spirit." He bowed his head before Ignis.

"No worries." Ignis shrugged. "Now, see? I am honest and nice too…!"

"Well, I suppose so." Mark said, the Divine Ember he could channel suddenly flickered as he fused it with his Spiritual Flames. 

FLUOOOSH!

"W-What the…?!"

Even Ignis was surprised when Mark's fire started to suddenly evolve out of nowhere as he fused it with the Ember of Divine Forging Flames!

"Interesting… Although I cannot create more Divine Forging Flames, I can imbue this Ember into my Flames and give them even stronger and powerful effects." Mark smiled confidently.

"Amazing, Mark!" I cheered for him. "I knew it would help you get stronger too!"

"T-That's cheating…" Ignis didn't thought something like that could be done with the tiny Ember. "A-Anyways, did you check the power the Blessing gave you, Planta?"

"The Blessing? Yeah, it said something about Smelting Synthesis, but what does that means?" I asked confusedly.

"It is the Special Ability of this Divine Smithy." Ignis smiled. "A power only father possessed, which will make you stronger than any other Blacksmith of Arcadia!"
