Chapter 1747 The Power of Ancestral Spirits I
"A kid is still a kid despite being courageous and acting all mature." Adrian stated with a smile as he saw such a wonderful scene.
"Now that Yumeko is healed, I shall personally command all the soldiers to defeat all of the monsters. We shall have a festival once we defeated them all!" Saito Hajime stated as he kissed Yumeko on the forehead and told his wife to protect their daughter.
"You good?" Adrian asked Levin Cloud.
"I have run out of mana. Healing NPCs take much more than just what the spells requires. They emptied out my mana pool because I had to heal years' worth of damage. It is actually quite a miracle that I am still standing tall like this as I would have passed out. I also think that I am hallucinating because I am seeing a lot of pale people." Levin Cloud stated.
Adrian turned around and he also saw the pale people that Levin Cloud was describing. Levin Cloud was not hallucinating because they were actually real spirits. They were the souls of the departed that was summoned by Yumeko's fervent call for help.
"Champion of the Twin Gods and Envoy of the Twin Gods, we ask for your assistance." A spirit that was decorated like royalty stated.
Adrian looked at the spirit that spoke and he noticed that she looked like Yumeko but older. Adrian deduced that she must have been her ancestor, but he does not know who called her. Spirits that can manifest like this are no longer part of the cycle of reincarnation because they have done heroic deeds when they were alive.
Spirits that can be called upon would usually be heroes that have lived back then. When the heroes died, they were given a choice to either be reincarnated or enjoy their afterlife in a paradise in the death realms. The former would guarantee them a new life of good karma while the latter would ensure that they could guide their descendants.
The saying that 'You can hear your ancestors crying' is not just a figure of speech. It is a real phenomenon in Pandemonium because they can literally monitor the lives of their descendants. If they deem that their descendant is in need of something, then they would usually use up the good karma they built when they were alive to send a helping aide.
For example, when one of their descendants is lost in a city that is new to them, the ancestors could use some of their good karma to create a chance for them to help them. These forms of helping are not infinite though as there are very strict criteria and the effectiveness of it is also varied. The effectiveness varies if their descendants are doing good deeds.
The amount of good karma that their descendants have accumulated would let their aide be felt easily. It is also true that their aide will never come if their descendants have a large bad karma. This is the reason why there are a lot of powerful families that suddenly fall due to bullying a poor kid in the eastern continent.
"What is it that you need? Only I can help you for the moment as the Envoy is a bit exhausted, right now." Adrian stated.
"We wish to give aid to everyone here so that they will be able to push the monster horde." The royal looking spirit stated.
"If all of you use it then it might take all of you a decade to send aide to them. Do you know what kind of burden you are asking?" Adrian stated as it will be a really big deal if they were no longer able to send aide to their descendants.
"We will not use all of it. We will use half in order to make sure that everyone stays safe and alive. We have already gotten the permission of Yama. Please give us the power." The royal spirit stated as she bowed to Adrian and the other spirits did as well.
"Who is your friend talking to? There is no one there." Ina asked Yumeko as she could see that Equinox was talking to air.
"Nether is talking to a beautiful lady that wears those beautiful ceremonial clothes that we are keeping behind the shrine. She is so beautiful, and she also looks a bit like you, mother." Yumeko stated as her mother suddenly shuddered.
Ina, Yumeko's mother, no longer doubted any of her child's words as she was not one to lie or make up a story. The clothes that Yumeko stated were indeed the heirloom that they got from the time of the first head of the family. If Yumeko is describing the spirit correctly then the one Adrian was speaking to would be none other than the First Head of the Yamato Family or the seventh imperial princess of olden times.
"If Yama has already accepted then he must have given you a scroll that I can use." Adrian stated.
"Please accept this scroll." The First Head of the Yamato Family stated as she gave the scroll to Adrian.
Ina is shocked to see another scroll that exuded powerful energy suddenly come into Adrian's hand. If one were to describe it, then it materialized from nothing which is different when players use their inventory. Items taken from inventory would be needed to be pulled out while the scroll materialized into existence.
"Do you want to help me, Yumeko?" Adrian asked as he needed someone to be the medium that can connect the hearts of the people to their ancestors.
"I want to help! Everyone did a lot for me." Yumeko stated as she took off from her mother and held Adrian's hand.
"Wai…!" Ina stated but she suddenly saw the spirits with her eyes when Yumeko held Adrian's hand.
"It seems that it is already taking effect when everyone could physically see all of the spirits of their ancestors." Adrian stated as he burned the scroll with his nether energy.
