The Adventures of an Overpowered Knight in Another World - Chapter 405

Chapter 405: Chapter 405- Meet The Bloomkeeper
“Please rest assured, Your Majesty. Now that I am here, the vile demonic energy and whatever is causing that Compass to act strangely will cease”.

As one of the three legendary heroes of Solaris and its last fortress, it was his duty to assure the crown and people.

“Everything will be alright”.

Right after saying that, Reinhardt and his knights stepped inside.

If it were anyone else making such a promise, the Queen would have no doubt been skeptical. However, it was the Divine Paladin personally promising her that. Having seen his power through her own eyes, she knew that the knight would be able to stop whatever was going on inside the underground vault.

Plus, there was this feeling within her heart telling her that if it was this man, he could resolve anything.

“Let’s go, Diana. While the knights are fighting, we also need to do our part”.

“Yes, Your Majesty”.

As it turns out, the woman, similarly hiding her face with a veil, was none other than the missing princess of Aetherion, Diana.

Because the waters of the capital had become contaminated, people all over the capital were becoming sick. With the King collapsed, it responsibility fell all on the shoulders of the Queen to protect the weak citizens who cannot protect themselves.

.

As soon, Reinhardt and his knights stepped inside the path leading towards the underground vault, a powerful pressure, ominous to the extreme, assaulted them. It made them feel suffocated, choking their breath and stimulating their fear.

A side effect of being exposed to extremely dense demonic energy.

The true knights were somehow able to resist the effects and keep their wits intact. However, the influence of the demonic energy was more pronounced on the squires who were still in the stage of growing.

Thankfully for them, just as they were about to feel overwhelmed by the demonic energy, a soothing light that dispelled all darkness and negativity, gently enveloped them, protecting their minds and raising their spirit.

[Unyielding Presence] The divine trait not only gave him a commanding aura similar to a divine authority, but it also weakened evil and gave unwavering confidence and courage to his allies.

The squad proceeded forward. Descending down the spiraling stairs with measured steps.

As the place was filled with numerous mechanisms and traps, they had to be careful on their way. Not only that, the affluence of the demonic energy caused the visibility here that was already very low to plummet further.

All around them was deep darkness, with the dim lights of the torches on the wall the only thing providing some illumination.

What’s more, that too darkened the deeper they headed in.

The darkness played with one’s mind, making one feel like they were entering the maw of an abyss from which there was no return.

“Tsk… Such repulsive energy,” Reinhardt clicked his tongue in annoyance. As a Divine Paladin and ambassador of light, it made him disgusted to the pits of his stomach just by being exposed to such vile demonic energy.

He held out his hand to gesture to his knights to stop before bending down and touching the ground, the stairs in this case.

“[Divine Beast Summoning] Low Tier— Answer my call, Bloomkeeper of the verdant fields.”

As soon as those words left his mouth, the stairs, no, the very underground space, trembled.

A chime of a bell, soothing and calming to the nerves, echoed out. The next second, the temperature dropped, and before one knew it, pale green mist spread across the dark expanse.

Furthermore, from the cracks in the earth, glowing fungal caps and spiraling algae vines began to sprout, rapidly growing across the terrain like flowing corals.

These organisms that seemed to have grown unnaturally seemed alive and swayed with a rhythm that dispelled the darkness, causing it to be unable to approach near.

The knights trailing behind Reinhardt were all shocked. Their commander had once again gone ahead and done something strange.

Be that may, the quota of surprise the members felt was not yet filled. As they could see the moss and fungi grow to a tremendous size on the wall adjacent to them.

What’s more, from amidst it emerged a creature that they had never seen or heard of in their life. The creature resembled a moss-covered stag fused with fungal growth and coral like antlers.

Its body was glowing and seemed ethereal, yet was unmistakably pulsing with radiant life. As soon as the creature appeared, the demonic energy present all around them churned and backed away, seemingly afraid of the creature.

“This!!”

The members of the temple of light who witnessed something incredible looked at the creature with surprise and awe.

“Commander… is that another summon?”

The knights who already knew that their commander possessed a summoning skill, asked.

Reinhardt nodded his head before introducing the creature to his squad.

“Everyone, meet the Bloomkeeper. A divine beast that roams the forest of the gods. It is quite shy, so do not try to approach it without its permission”.

Shy? This thing was?

When the squad looked into the eyes of this bioluminescent stag, they could see vast intelligence and spirituality within them.

After introducing the summon to his comrades, he then turned towards the Bloomkeeper and caressed the latter.

“As you can see, my friend, I am in need of your strength. This place is filled with the sickening demonic energy that needs to be purged this instant”.

Even though he could purge this energy too; however, when it came to cleansing, there was no summon better than the bloomkeeper.

The latter looked at him with its spiritual eyes before nodding its head.

The next second, it activated its skills. The antlers dripping faint spiritual motes resembling will o wisps, shone brightly.

Mushroom spores and glowing algae threads spread everywhere, causing more and more bioluminescent protista and fungi to appear.

On the stairs, walls, and ceiling, they spread like a wildfire, colonising everything.

Within seconds, the previously dark and ominous spiral stairways was converted into a flowing, luminescent wetland.
