Most of the things were the same as the others, as I merely mass produced them with the same trick as the other items, except her clothes, ring, and weapon, which received some special abilities for her main element of Earth.
Her weapon took the spotlight, as the Goddess of Earth blessed it and made it into a talking weapon as well! She was much more lax, and motherly, and nicer than any of our weapons though…
Oh, and her pickaxe looked quite mighty. Upon her awakening and then her magic circle creation, Lily started to awaken and inherit a part of her Avatar\'s strength like we did… meaning that she also acquired her physical strength.
Therefore, she became surprisingly physically strong, and her skin became slightly toasty, as if she was inheriting even a bit of her Brownie appearance…
"Well, it is nice to be able to talk with you, Lily. I\'ve been your tiny pickaxe for years now. I am surprised you didn\'t throw me to the trash yet." Laughed Tierra. "Well, I\'ve grown quite big now…"
"Will it be a problem to carry you around when you\'re so big?" Sighed Lily.
"Don\'t worry though, our goddess gave us the ability to shrink!" Said Tierra, suddenly turning into a tiny pickaxe once more.
"Oooh! How convenient!" Lily giggled.
"Well, with that done, I guess we can safely relax. Phew~ Lily can you give me some of that herbal tea?" Sighed Rita, sitting and eating cookies I brought from Arcadia to Earth.
"Sure, Rita!" Lily said with a smile, quickly brining a new teacup, only for her to suddenly break it…
CRASH!
"Uwaah! Oh no…" Lily sighed. "D-Did I do that? Ah, my grip feels much stronger than ever before…"
"Must be due to your physical enhancement." I said while rubbing my chin. "We\'ll have to train together so you can better figure out how to hold that strength of yours, Lily!"
"I-I see…" Lily felt slightly saddened she broke her cup. "I\'ll do my best so I don\'t end up breaking more things…"
"Well, about the physique, can you make it now, Great Spirit?" Asked Mark. "I would prefer if Elayne got as strong as possible, so she can be safer."
"Ehh? You\'re hurrying up a great being such as myself?!" The Great Spirit angrily said. "Don\'t you see I am enjoying my teatime?!" She said angrily, while sipping some tea.
"Hahaha, honestly I also want to get it quickly." I said.
"SIGH…" The Great Spirit groaned. "FINE…"
We quickly started preparations, as we did some magic circles as she ordered us, this time, they were much more complicated, and had strange runes we have not seen before. As we made everything, she explained us more about how it was done.
"You see, Physiques are similar yet different to Magic Circles." She said. "They also have special Runes, which instead of being concentrated in a magic circle are spread around your body. Some also call the Stigmas, or Pressure Points, Ki Points, or whatever. The more you imbue into your body, the further your body grows and evolves into a stronger version of itself."
"I see! I guess it ended being quite simple." I said. "Though unlike magic circles, I can\'t level it up as easily by just absorbing magic crystals?" I wondered.
"Nope." She said. "Magic Crystals will help, but you\'ll need to prepare special things, food and potions! Consuming these after your physique is finally created will help your physique develop."
"So we have to make her food using… materials?" Asked Mark. "Hold up, this is too easy…"
"I-It is complicated!" The Great Spirit said. "I swear! I… Err, well, yeah, it is easy. Elayne\'s cooking is fantastic and so might be her alchemy, so there\'s nothing to fear."
"Yaay! Then let\'s get it done!" I said with a smile.
Once we placed all the flowers, fruits, seeds, stems, and roots of the many magic plants Lily grew, the magic circle was activated, and the power of the items flew into my body, fusing with it.
One by one, I saw countless small marks emerge over my skin, like glowing red and golden tattoos. My muscles started to become harder and more reinforced, my bones felt stronger as well, and even my vision and senses sharpened tremendously.
pàпdá-ňᴏνêι.сóМ FLAAAASH!
The magic circle continued doing its work, as I suddenly felt like I was… changing. My skin started popping up branches, plants, and more things constantly. My flesh became plants, my bones wood, and my blood became sap.
Without realizing, I became a tree in the shape of a woman cross-legged. Yet when it finally ended, I felt stronger than ever. I pushed from my cocoon, breaking apart the wood and sap, and being reborn anew… and slimy, covered in sap.
"Ahhh… T-That was a bit weird- Uwaah! I\'m naked?!" I cried.
Thankfully, all my equipment was inside my Inventory… but my current set of clothes disappeared.
"You are indeed naked!" Laughed the Great Spirit.
