Fantasy Family Simulator-Chapter 245: Taming the Shock Sprite
Chapter 245 - 245: Taming the Shock Sprite
The overlapping lightning, brewing even greater power, struck Rett with pinpoint accuracy. From an outside perspective, it seemed as if this lightning was locked onto Rett, with no escape!
As the lightning hit his body, it made a sizzling sound, like meat being grilled, slightly dulling the thunderous roar and reducing the force of the splashing seawater.
But Rett himself was in no condition to appreciate this. Every cell in his body felt the destructive force, breaking apart inch by inch. His skin quickly turned black like charred coal, and even his hair stood on end, with not a single part of his body left unscathed. His life force was gravely diminished!
"Ugh...!" Rett groaned softly in pain. Fortunately, the effects of the Fire Baptism Potion were rapidly manifesting within his body, constantly repairing his quickly deteriorating life force, soon alleviating much of the pain. However, the immense power of the lightning seemed endless, overwhelming his mind, and soon, he fell unconscious.
Hovering in the sky, Fire Feather anxiously circled around, letting out distressed cries!
Despite seeing Rett's dire state, it did not descend—not out of fear, but because Rett had specifically ordered it to stay high above, no matter what, and to avoid approaching at all costs!
This was to prevent any interference with the sprite bonding process.
Even making noise was forbidden, so Fire Feather could only express its sorrow by flapping its wings rapidly, looking down at Rett lying unconscious on the sea surface with a pitiful gaze.
At this moment, a fierce battle was taking place inside Rett's body. The lightning's energy, like a proud and unyielding demon, invaded his body, seeking to obliterate every cell it touched. Meanwhile, the Fire Baptism Potion brought powerful restorative energy, radiating a gentle and miraculous force that nourished every inch of his body, from top to bottom, inside and out, bringing it back to life.
These two forces clashed and counteracted each other, with the destructive power of the lightning gradually retreating as the Fire Baptism Potion's energy began to prevail.
Before long, Rett's condition began to improve. As a faint consciousness returned, though he couldn't muster many thoughts, he instinctively channeled his mental energy to draw in earth elements from the environment, speeding up the healing process. However, considering the sprite bonding process, where any mistake could lead to a significant setback, he abandoned the idea and let his consciousness drift back into darkness...
Outside.
In Fire Feather's view, Rett's life force was gradually strengthening. Through their contract, it could feel his vitality slowly recovering.
Excitement filled Fire Feather's simple mind, causing it to dance in the air with joy.
At that moment, the space over the sea suddenly became blurred, as if a high-definition TV screen had turned into a translucent, semi-transparent blur, twisting and rotating randomly in three dimensions—an eerie sight.
Simultaneously, the space below began to tremble, its scope small but the amplitude reaching a peak! Fire Feather, unsure of what was happening, instinctively felt a sense of fear due to the intense vibrations...
Suddenly, as if emerging from an interdimensional portal, a unique life form appeared. Its arrival caused the spatial tremors to reach their peak, but only for a brief moment before everything calmed down.
The distortion in space flickered, and this twisted, transparent life form quickly merged into Rett's body, unnoticed by the outside world.
Fire Feather blinked, sensing something amiss, but lacking the ability to detect what had happened. After a brief moment of confusion, it noticed Rett was regaining consciousness and chirped happily.
Half a minute later.
Rett was becoming increasingly lucid, even faintly aware of changes in his body—a distinctive feeling indicating the sprite bonding was successful.
He then focused his mental energy, drawing the earth elements from the air around him. His body now acted like a black hole, devouring the surrounding earth elements. His injuries rapidly healed, and his mental state improved significantly.
A moment later, Rett stretched his body, feeling back to normal.
Soaking in the seawater, he felt the coolness envelop him, gently soothing his entire body. Beneath the water, some low-level sea monsters, having circled for a while, seemed to have made up their minds and began to swim towards him with increasing speed!
Their target was clear—they were aiming for something significant on Rett's body.

Just as Rett came to his senses, his expression changed. Good heavens, were they trying to rob him of his manhood?!
Unforgivable! He quickly gathered his mental energy and cast a weakened version of the Earth Spire Rain.
In an instant, the water lit up with a broad yellow glow as earth spikes formed, slicing through the water and skewering the approaching fish.
After dealing with these would-be attackers, Rett signaled Fire Feather to descend. The creature happily swooped down, stopping half a meter above the water's surface.
Rett first condensed the water elements to form a thick block of ice on the surface. He then stepped onto it, bare and naked—his clothes had been completely incinerated by the lightning.
Fortunately, he had prepared for this and retrieved a black leather bundle from Fire Feather's back, from which he pulled out a fresh coat.
Standing barefoot on the cold ice, Fire Feather thoughtfully placed its wing on the ice, looking at Rett with its bright eyes, chirping happily.
The gesture was meant to keep Rett's feet from getting cold.
"You're a good little guy," Rett said with a warm smile as he patted Fire Feather's head, shaking his own.
Surveying the surroundings, everything had quieted down significantly, with only distant thunder and the sound of flowing water remaining.
Rett closed his eyes, entering a state of deep meditation, and quickly began to comprehend the earth element's mysteries.
Soon, the world around him was once again filled with yellow sands, spinning, jumping, and overlapping in random patterns.
He focused on capturing anything unusual, seeking out any exceptional insight.
After a moment, Rett's brow furrowed tightly. Opening his eyes, he sighed.
"As expected, it's not enough. It seems, just as the simulation indicated, the comprehension of the 'Vibration' mystery is still very faint, and the affinity brought by the Shock Sprite is somewhat lacking compared to the Sand Sprite..."
He could vaguely feel that something was different about the space around him, but he couldn't pinpoint exactly what it was.
Maybe with enough time and constant practice, he could eventually grasp the mystery of vibration.
But Rett wasn't satisfied. Shaking his head, he decided to end the simulation.
As space rippled again, Rett returned to reality.
[True Simulation ended. Please choose one attribute to retain.]
[1. Physique]
[2. Battle Qi]
[3. Mental Energy]
He quickly chose the third option and closed his eyes, once again sensing the subtle changes.
Then, he smiled. Good, it's still there! This meant his affinity for comprehending the vibration mystery had indeed improved.
Rett opened his eyes and murmured, "Let's keep milking this..."
[Activate True Simulation? Each simulation day costs 1 Fate Point.]
"Yes, simulate one day."
As the second simulation began, Rett prepared himself, directing Fire Feather to return to the previous location.
Not long after, the first earth-shaking lightning column descended.
Shortly after, three twisted lightning bolts fell from the sky.
Rett repeated his earlier actions, positioning himself on the water, drinking the Fire Baptism Potion, and withstanding the lightning's wrath.
When he regained consciousness, he focused intently on perceiving the subtle differences in the world around him.
The yellow sands continued to flow and overlap erratically, but through them, Rett could vaguely sense a slight spatial anomaly.
"It seems... stronger than before? But it's still not very clear," Rett muttered.
Time for another round.
Rett embarked on a long journey of simulations.
After more than a hundred simulations.
Rett repeated the cycle over and over, enduring lightning strikes, then taming the sprite.
Although his body bore no lasting injuries, the pain of being struck by lightning over and over was a constant test of his endurance, to the point where he eventually grew calm and unflinching in the face of it. His tolerance for the pain of the lightning had significantly increased...
He chuckled to himself. "This kind of torment should be reserved for oath-breaking scoundrels. Why is it me..."
Of course, while he said this, Rett was actually quite content, experiencing both pain and joy.
Because he could feel that his comprehension of the vibration mystery was indeed accelerating.
After a dozen simulations, Rett began to sense it, discovering that the space around him, filled with earth elements, carried a vibrating force.
After fifty simulations, this feeling became clearer. He began to notice that the seemingly ordinary earth elements were undergoing constant, subtle movement within their structures, vibrating in a peculiar way.
After more than a hundred simulations.
Rett felt as though the entire world had undergone a tremendous change. This experience was even more distinct than when he had comprehended the "Dispersion" mystery.
At this moment, Rett extended his slightly bent arms, and the surrounding world was no longer filled with tightly connected sands but with earth elements, each separated by varying distances—some short, just a few centimeters, others long, nearly a meter. These earth elements were scattered densely across the space.
These earth elements no longer emitted the yellowish glow he was familiar with. Although their size had not changed and they remained small, Rett could now clearly perceive the complex movements within each element, moving rapidly and unpredictably.
It was this movement that generated the vibrating force, affecting not just themselves but also the surrounding space.
While Rett didn't fully understand how this mysterious power affected space, he felt as though he had instinctively grasped how to use it. It was akin to how humans, though not fully understanding every detail of their organs, muscles, and bones, could still live well and unleash immense power. Rett now had a basic mastery of the earth element's "vibration" force!
"So that's how it is. The power of vibration is truly remarkable!" Rett muttered to himself, a smile forming on his lips. He opened his eyes, which shone brightly.
He then extended his finger and casually pointed forward!
A dense, intense buzzing filled the air, accompanied by a rapidly accelerating earth spike. The vibrating force, under Rett's control, was attached to the yellowish earth spike.
The spike's tip distorted the space around it, emitting an incredibly destructive force as it shot towards a distant rock formation.
Boom! A massive shockwave echoed through the air.
What followed was an explosion, sending fragments of rock scattering like a heavenly flower.
Seeing this, Rett's eyes widened in amazement, gleaming with excitement!
The spike he had just summoned was formed with only a small amount of earth elements and minimal mental energy, making it effectively a first-level spell.
However, with the addition of the vibration mystery, the spike, originally known for its piercing power, had gained an overwhelming explosive force. Of course, this explosion was still fundamentally caused by vibration, though its effect resembled a detonation.
In any case, the vibration force had effectively increased the power of his earth spells by an entire level.
With this power boost, Rett judged that the Earth Spire technique he had just used could definitely reach the destructive power of a second-level spell, compensating for his previous lack of impactful offensive capabilities.
Previously, the Dispersion mystery had enhanced his survival ability and allowed for unexpected attacks, diversifying his combat style. The Condensation mystery, at its current level of comprehension, could only be used to fortify specific body parts, significantly enhancing defense, but could not be applied to his spells.
However, the Vibration mystery was vastly different from the Dispersion and Condensation mysteries. Even at its initial level of comprehension, it allowed Rett to harness the vibrating force of the earth element and manifest it externally.
Against ordinary transcendents, his offensive power was already sufficient, but what he had previously found lacking was his ability to match up with other powerful transcendents who had also mastered destructive mysteries—like Prince Hogus, whose dimensional cutting power still made Rett uneasy.
Although he had won their last duel, it was due to his superior overall strength. In terms of raw offensive power, he had fallen short.
But from now on, everything would be different!
The power of vibration was, in Rett's eyes, on par with the dimensional cutting force.
What's special about the vibration force is that its effects aren't limited to offensive techniques. Rett had just had this thought—what if he could apply the Vibration mystery to his Earth Light Shield or Earth Armor?
He immediately began experimenting.
First, he summoned Earth Armor, then carefully directed the Vibration mystery to spread through the earth element.
But as soon as the vibration force activated within the Earth Armor, an explosion erupted from his abdomen, sending his blood and flesh flying everywhere.
Rett's face contorted in pain as his body trembled, letting out a muffled groan. He staggered backward on the ice block, struggling to stay upright.
