Surprisingly, the Strength and Endurance with the added bonuses became the same value. My total stats now approached the Heroes\' average base stats.

Well, they\'re still stronger because of the various buffs they\'re getting which I have no idea how large in total value. My two Support Bonuses were probably just a drop from what they\'re getting from those.

"What has just happened Daisuke?"

Yumiko asked after things calmed down. Jayna beside her was still somewhat in a shock at what she just witnessed so Yumiko was the one who asked the question.

I told Yumiko that I will try to cultivate and become a Fused Spirit tonight. Due to the commotion, it will not be believable if I told her I only breakthrough to Fused Spirit.

"My ability got upgraded."

I answered after I stood up and removed the dust that fell on me due to the wild stirring in Spirit Energy earlier.

I wonder what will the World\'s Will think of this? It\'s watching, right?

"You mean, your Adaptability?"

Her Spirit Channeling was probably already upgraded for a few times, as to how many, I refrained from asking. It\'s already enough that she told me how it works, just like with Yuko and Raiden.

I nodded as confirmation.

"That\'s kind of an alarming disturbance in Spirit Energy. How did it make that kind of effect? I saw it through this pair of glasses. You absorbed an abnormal amount of Spirit Energy."

Yumiko pointed at her glasses before she fixed it. That somehow fitted her so well. No wonder her fans club was among the top 5 in our school.

"Err. My different paths were forcefully synchronized. That\'s why I absorbed that much I\'m a Fused Spirit with 3 Streams now."

After saying that, I materialized the 3 Streams of connection behind me.

"You know, you\'re making me jealous. It took me a year to reach that point."

With a bitter smile, Yumiko commented.

"It\'s only fast but I\'m still far away from you."

"You say that but you\'ve only been to 3 worlds and look where you are now."

I couldn\'t refute that so I just laughed it out before taking the glasses from her to let them rest.

I feel somewhat refreshed after the three types of energy inside me combined into one.

Curious, I gathered a ball of Spirit Energy in my hand and almost instantly, it transformed to the visual manifestation of Flux Energy, it\'s a bit colorful, eh?

But with this, all of my Skills and Orbs are now usable. My value increased, right?

I looked back and saw Yumiko sitting there, communicating with those Spirits hovering above her. My breakthrough influenced her while Jayna who became speechless earlier was back at her old self, watching Yumiko in interest.

If Yumiko\'s Spirit Channeling was upgraded, will she be able to not only borrow their powers but also let them send an incarnation to fight alongside her? Ah. That\'s a possible path of her unique ability. With the increase in Int from my Support Bonus, her Spirit Channeling was improved as well.

I\'m in favor of the Heroes\' further growth. After all, I will become the recipient of their average stats. The higher it is, the better for me.

We spent the night like that and when the first ray of sunlight dawns upon us, we restarted our journey to the Frontier Fortress.

Before the sunset, we arrived at quite a humongous Fortress. Just looking from outside, it may house at least 100,000 soldiers. With this as the Frontier Fortress, it\'s kind of understandable that the cities inland were prosperous. Even if an enemy slipped past this fortress, they\'ll still need to travel for at least 2 days to reach the nearest city. Those 2 days are enough for them to be hunted down by the patrolling Spiritas.

When our carriage arrived, there\'s already a line of the same kind of carriages waiting in line on the right and a line of people on the left. Upon seeing Yumiko though, the people parted as they chanted her title while letting our carriage pass through unhindered.

"The Priestess. The Priestess is here!"

One of the soldiers manning the gate shouted and that immediately invited a response from inside.

Before we even reached the gates, it opened wide as a group of neat looking Spiritas, headed by an old fierce-looking Spiritas, lined up and marched forward to greet her.

"Noble Spirit and Fortress Commander Malborne greets the Priestess!"

The old fierce-looking Spiritas shouted in greeting. He\'s also one of the Noble Spirits included in the Council of Twenty but compared to them, he\'s probably the one with the most combat experience.

"The Frontier Fortress welcomes the Priestess!"

Seconded the group of soldiers behind him.

And along with that, everyone in the vicinity also uttered the same words that it even echoed throughout the fortress.

"I told you, you don\'t need to always greet me. We\'re only passing by."

Yumiko said in a low voice but some kind of power carried her voice which made it possible for everyone present to hear it.

It calmed down the surrounding people but moments later they cheered for her title again.

"She\'s really different when in front of people like this."

Jayna commented.

I could somehow understand her. Yuko is the same, her persona in front of people is different than her real self or just even what she shows with her Party Members.

After that kind of greeting, we were then led inside by Malborne and his group of soldiers inside the fortress where we finally met up with her two companions.

Rei and Ren. They\'re twins, though they\'re identical in appearance their genders aren\'t.

Rei is a tall female Spiritas with a rather flat future compared to Jayna and Ren is the male counterpart which is as tall as hers. Both of them sported a silver hair with Rei\'s hair grown a bit longer to spot the difference between them since even if their genders are different from each other, they have the same body build. A lean and tall Spiritas which exuded a cool appearance. Pair it with their hair and their sharp eyes that could probably pierce into someone if they glared at him, the two were outstanding.

"Rei, Ren. I missed you!"

Jayna jumped out of the carriage and straight to the arms of the twins.

"Both of you have grown a bit stronger since last I saw you."

Yumiko said as she disembarked the carriage, with a smile on her face while looking at the twins.

"Yes! We now have 3 Rivers of connection."

Rei answered her as she projected the 3 Rivers behind her, compared to my 3 Streams, mine is small and somehow looked plain while her rivers have different shines from each other. That probably concerned her Transformation.

Though Jayna was smaller and didn\'t look as cool as them, she\'s stronger than the two with 4 Rivers.

Yumiko was the same. She\'s still a Transformed Spirit with 4 Rivers but her real prowess was even higher than a Noble Spirit.

"We\'ve finished scouting the Fortress. It\'s heavily guarded but the Spirit Beasts constantly harass them since it\'s their former territory."

Ren reported. He even brought out a detailed map where the positions of the guards were noted as well as the place where the Spirit Beasts were coming from.

"What about the Spirit King? Did it make a move?"

Yumiko asked but right after her question, an alarm sounded out all around the Fortress.

Then Malborne came running next to Yumiko with a somewhat worried face.

"Priestess, the Spirit King was spotted. It\'s already on its way here."

The only Ruler Spirit in this world. Really, Yumiko has just arrived and he\'s already here. Does he have some kind of grudge against her?

Hearing that, Yumiko couldn\'t help but put a hand on her forehead and with a sigh, she turned to the twins.

"We have to go now. Rei, Ren, lead the way for us."

The two nodded in compliance while Yumiko turned to me next.

"Daisuke, I might use Spirit Channeling. That old thing is always this persistent."

"No problem. I\'ll support you. That\'s what I\'m here for, right?"

Old thing, eh? Looks like there\'s some sort of story between them that\'s unknown to the other Spiritas.

Hearing my words, she smiled and went back to the carriage as we followed after her.
