Ding!

[You have learned the [Dirt Block: Lv1] Magic Skill!]

[Dirt Block: Lv1]

Skill Proficiency: 0/10000

By gathering Mana and infusing it into a mass of any type of ground, earth, dirt, sand, and the like, you can create a block of roughly 25x25 centimeters. The shape and size can be changed depending in the control over Mana while creating the Block. The Skill Level increases the precision and automatization of the Skill usage.

"I got it!" I said triumphantly, quickly creating several dirt blocks one after the other.

POP! POP! POP! POP!

There was an endless source of sand anywhere, so it was very easy! And it cost barely like 50 MP to use it so it is no big deal at all! Hahaha! Maybe I can just level this up to Level 10.

"W-Wow, amazing!" Said Ariant.

"Y-You learned the Spell right away?! How many affinities you do you have, Kireina-sama?!" Eriant asked.

"Kireina is a very unique being. While most of us usually have one or two Affinities of an Element, she seems to have… All of them." Said Fiere. "Although it might be hard for her to learn them first, she might have the potential to learn as many elements as she wants…"

"Yeah, yeah, no need to give them introductions about myself by your own, Fiere." I sighed.

"S-Sorry… Without Elfina-sama, I feel a bit empty… I used to do this for her all the time." Fiere seemed really empty without Elfina at her side. Has she been serving her ever since she was a kid?

"S-So you have all elements?!" Asked Ariant. "Amazing…"

"Yeah, this is way too incredible…" Said Eriant. "I feel like meeting Kireina was like being the luckiest ever. I believe we might begin having terrible luck from now on."

"We'll definitely have terrible luck from now on." Said Ariant while nodding.

"You're the first one I've seen learning such a Spell so easily and quickly." Sighed Arianne. "Maybe you're indeed as old as you say to be? How old did you said you were?"

"A few eons…" I said while rubbing my chin. "Though I only recalled those memories recently. Before that, I was only like… huhhh… two years old?"

"Eh? S-So which is your age then?!" Arianne wondered. "And there's no way someone is eons old…"

"Well- Ah, I better not bother explaining something you'll never believe anyways."

Like that, I had acquired my first ever Earth Attribute Spell, however, I was not done with everything yet. I first wanted to secure everyone's a source of water. Recently their oasis was completely drained by the Walking Cactuses, and people had been living off the water they take from plants or the blood of hunted monsters, which is not really healthy to stay hydrated in this type of place.

In fact it would be better if they just moved into the forests of the elves, they got plenty of space there for everyone… but I bet they wouldn't want to leave their homeland behind, so it cannot be helped.

"For now I want to secure a good source of water for everyone." I said. "Can you show me where your oasis was before?"

"S-Sure, through here…" Arianne timidly showed me the way, probably expecting something utterly ridiculous again.

"Here."

The twins pointed at a large hole in the ground. This area of the town lacked the sand dunes and was just a lot of dry rock, perhaps even worse looking than the dunes. I saw the cracks that went all the way done, it was quite horrible how dry this place was.

My plan was simply, bring them a lot of water through Aquamarine… But the worse part is that water will eventually run out, even faster as this heat will easily evaporate it all. I need a specific magical source of water that can constantly pour it and not end up getting dried out for at least a few years until people here can stabilize.

And I had a lot of items I had stored inside my Item Box as well, in fact I had brought a ton of rich soil from the forest back there, tons of seeds (mostly for eating but I guess I can use them for their farming), and above all, spirit stones.

The same ones from back on Genesis, they seem to be named similarly, spirit stones are special ores mined from magic-rich mountains containing elemental essence. And I had brought a ton of them which Floresse gifted to me as a thanks for the monster materials I gifted to her to save her economy.

I quickly took out a Blue Jewel from my pocket. Aquamarine is an Ego so he can forever create water. However, Spirit Stones eventually run out of energy and become gray-colored… What I want is quite challenging to get, but I think I can do it.

"Let's see…"

I kept taking out Water Spirit Stones and a lot of Magic Crystals, thousands of them, which I had accumulated from monsters I had slain and butchered.

"[Dirt Block]!"

FLASH!

Suddenly, I created a "dirt" block out of the many Water Spirit Stones and Magic Crystals I had piled up. They all automatically merged together and created a beautiful combined cubic-shaped jewel the size of a car, it immediately began to produce water, which was dripping out of its surface like sweat.

"EH?!"

Arianne, Ariant, and Eriant were naturally shocked, even Fiere.

"W-What… what is that?! How did you do that?!" Arianne looked at me.

"Oh, I made a Dirt Block out of Magic Crystals from monsters and Water Spirit Stone… And now… Ego Fragments!"

I gathered a bunch of Ego Fragments that Black had been grinding for me from monsters. They were around a hundred, so I picked ten of them, combined them using [Soul Shaping] and stuck them into the block.

FLASH!

[You have created a new [Low Quality Ego]!]

Immediately after that, the Water Crystal turned into an Ego, gaining a soul.

"Bwahahaha! Its ALIVE!"
