Spirit (7)

The chaotic spirit ritual that filled Jongmyo Shrine has disappeared.

If you think of it as a general thought circuit, it would be normal for Harang to succeed in making a contract with the spirit emperor, but for the elf, it was quite difficult.

The reason it was once considered impossible was because the elves were the race that decided and thought it was impossible no matter what.

“no way… … “Did that human kid do something?”

“There is no way the contract could have been successful. Because that’s impossible. Something else clearly happened.”

“I guess so.”

“… … .”

The elves thought that it was more likely that the Elemental Lord of Chaos had returned to stock up on strength, or that the Elementalists who had fallen in the dungeon had come to their senses and subdued them.

‘… … That can’t be possible.’

Adeline shook her head.

He is the most exceptionally talented elementalist in the northern Wood Elf village, Redelia Garden. Even for him, it was impossible for him to make a contract with the Chaos Spirit Emperor. Even he, who lives in harmony with nature and always has spirits by his side, could not dare to make a contract with a chaotic spirit confectionery, but what about humans?

‘That’s nonsense.’

Thinking about that, Adeline laughed. Even if he thought about it, it didn’t make sense. Surely, the spiritists and elders in the dungeon must have awakened and defeated the chaotic spirit emperor… … .

The moment I solidified my thoughts like that.

“It came out.”

Avalanche grinned and muttered those words. Adeline instinctively looked at the ruined Jongmyo Shrine.

Jerk-!

From there, a silver-eyed boy was walking out, holding a purple flame-shaped spirit in one hand.

Everyone was astonished as they looked at the purple flames blooming from his hands, rather than the boy’s safety. Because something everyone thought was impossible had happened!

“That… … It must be… … ! “Even though I am weakened, I am Cardion, the elemental lord of chaos!”

Rattling. Adeline’s heart sank.

‘Really, you succeeded?’

Even though I was seeing it clearly with my own two eyes, I couldn’t believe it. I wanted to deny that it was not true. Adeline wanted to tell the elf warriors that something was strange, that humans were inherently wicked and therefore resorted to trickery.

Crunch! Slam!

One by one, the elf warriors laid down their weapons on the ground and took a pose with their upper bodies slightly bent towards Harang, their left arms extended downward, and their right hands placed on their chests.

It could be said to be the highest level of respect that an elf would give to the ‘best spiritist.’

This was acknowledged by all the elf warriors in the village. That boy is the ‘best spiritist’ who saved this village and the fairy world.

“ah… … .”

Only then.

Adeline had no choice but to admit it.

I, who had everyone’s expectations of becoming the best wood elf spiritist, was completely defeated by a human boy who came from a foreign country.

* * *

… … After signing a contract with Cardion, Harang was treated very warmly by the elves and returned to the hut prepared for him.

It was no ordinary cabin.

It was a cabin called ‘Mountain Deul’ that was reserved only for the best guests. To be honest, I wasn’t sure what the difference was, but I could tell that it was much more filled with the energy of nature.

On the way back to the cabin, quite a few elves approached me.

There were elves who apologized for ignoring them earlier, others who asked how they made the contract, and various elves, including elves who approached out of curiosity and elves who wanted to talk to humans, came and talked to them.

Due to Harang’s personality, he did not ignore them but answered them one by one, so it almost took him all day just to return to the cabin.

“Don’t bother me anymore. He just signed a contract with the Chaos Spirit Emperor and is very tired!”

Thanks to Sadella blocking their approach, they were able to significantly shorten the time.

As it happened, Harang also needed some alone time, so he had no choice but to be thankful to Sadella.

“Human boy. I’m going up to see the chieftain’s face for a moment, so I’m resting quietly. “I will make sure no one comes, so don’t worry.”

After saying that, Avalanche immediately arranged a private time for Harang. Perhaps, it was a consideration for Harang, who had just signed a contract with the Chaos Spirit Emperor and was still confused about everything.

“ha… … .”

Harang, who was resting with his eyes closed, slowly opened his palm and glared at it. Then she quietly whispered as if calling someone.

“Summon, Cardion.”

Then, a purple flame erupted from his palm and soon stabilized into a small shape. The surface of the flame was engraved with an expression that looked more like a character than a human, and that expression immediately crumpled upon seeing Harang.

-Damn it, my real self is like this… … Even if it’s unsightly, it’s too unsightly!

“Sorry. “My strength is still weak.”

Harang laughed bitterly.

Spirits that are born solely in the ‘spirit world’ and have their substance there cannot materialize in this world through their own power.

The Spirit Emperor, called the highest spirit, and the Spirit King, who is at the pinnacle of all spirits, can embody a physical body to some extent with their own power, but it is impossible to bring back all of the original power that was exerted in the spirit world.

However, when mana is obtained from a contractor, the burden is much less, and the spirits of the spirit world appear and demonstrate their enormous power.

That was the way elementalists manipulated power by making contracts with spirits.

However, no matter how powerful the spirit was, if the contractor’s skills were insufficient, it could not even display its power, let alone demonstrate its power.

That’s exactly what Cardion is like now.

-So, why did you summon me? Wasn’t your purpose to calm me down by entrusting me with the immense coldness that I couldn’t handle myself? Damn it, you’re treating me like a storage box!

“… … .”

It was originally intended for that purpose. The goal was to calm down Estel’s energy, which he could not handle, by connecting it to Cardion for a while, and then completely absorb it when he was able to completely handle it.

‘Yes, originally…’ … It did.’

Until now, Harang had no intention of making a contract with the spirit. He didn’t have enough mana to use magic and swordsmanship, and summoning spirits was too burdensome.

However, the moment I signed a contract with ‘Cardion, the Spirit Lord of Chaos’, a realization suddenly struck my mind like a thunderbolt.

‘This is it!’

You have witnessed the possibility of further raising your level!

‘With the power of chaos, even without borrowing Arniel’s advanced barrier magic, an environment similar to virtual reality can be created. It is even possible to create an environment that is even better than Arniel’s barrier at that time.’

Arniel’s ‘sensory disruption barrier’ was only used well by Harang, and did not actually create an environment similar to virtual reality.

However, the power of the chaos spirit went beyond sensory disturbance; it specialized in creating a very special space.

If you use this ability well… … .

‘It may be possible to increase the synchronization rate of system protection tremendously.’

However, that dream-like possibility has not yet been realized.

-Your power is so weak that you can’t even bring out my power properly. under! I was pushed by this guy with my mental power?

Because Harang is currently so weak, he cannot demonstrate any abilities despite having signed a contract with the Spirit Emperor who colored the fairy world with chaos.

“But for now, we’ve signed a contract. Let’s get along well in the future.”

-Well, let’s get along? Huh! Oh, that sounds like a bit of a stretch… … .

Cardion reacted awkwardly. This is because it was the first time in my life that I had ever met a person who responded kindly, such as saying, ‘Let’s get along well.’

“The first meeting wasn’t good, but now that we’re together like this, I don’t want to be uncomfortable with you. “If you have any questions or want from me in the future, please feel free to tell me.”

-Oh, then I want to go outside… … .

“Of course, I won’t grant you any ridiculous demands, such as threatening to cause trouble in the outside world.”

-… … Well, I have that much sense too! This human kid. What do you think of me?

“Hmm.”

Harang had a strange feeling while talking with the spirit of chaos. She had the feeling that, contrary to the stories she had heard, Cardion was not such an evil being.

He really just purely wanted to go out into the world and cause trouble freely, and he had no malicious intent at all, such as killing someone or destroying the world.

‘So it’s not a spirit of evil, but a spirit of chaos.’

If that’s the case, you might be able to persuade him into a great ally. Cardion’s power coincided well with Harang’s, so it was truly fortunate.

-Anyway, what are you going to do with this cold? This is my first time seeing someone like this. It’s a wonder he’s alive. You, if you don’t throw away this cold, he will die. Do you know?

I know Avalanche so well that my ears are stuck.

“… … “I’m going to learn how to handle it soon.”

-Tsk, I don’t know what that is, but say it quickly. As a result, it turned into an ice spirit.

“don’t worry. That won’t happen… … Ugh.”

Harang grabbed his head due to the sudden feeling of dizziness.

-Kahaha! That’s funny. Are you saying you can’t even stand it when you summon me for something like this? Oh my~ It’s my friend. A weak human being is my first contract!

“… … “I’m sorry, please come back now.”

-what? Are you trying to send it back already? You stupid human! To further extend the summoning time of the spirit, endure the feeling of dizziness… … hey!

Good luck! As Cardion’s figure disappeared in a blaze of purple flames, Harang wiped away his cold sweat and exhaled evenly.

‘Spirit summoning… … It was a lot harder than I thought.’

He was lucky enough to make a contract with the Chaotic Spirit Emperor based solely on his spirit affinity, but he had barely learned any elemental arts, so summoning and dealing with the spirits was a miracle in itself.

This was because the process of making a contract with a spirit and then summoning it itself required very specialized learning.

Harang tried to accomplish this purely with his talent, but in the end, his limitations were clear, so he could not summon Cardion for a long time.

‘… … ‘I guess I’ll have to learn how to deal with spirits separately.’

I took some classes on elemental science while attending Arniel, but at that time, I didn’t delve deep enough to learn about elemental contracts.

Moreover, I spent very little time in school, so all I learned was literally through experience. In order to properly handle Cardion, you will have to study properly later.

Harang, who was making plans for the future and taking a slow breath to relieve his dizziness, opened his eyes to the signs of presence outside the cabin.

“I’m here, human boy. “But your condition has improved noticeably since you signed the spirit contract.”

As soon as Avalanche entered the cabin, she looked around to see Harang’s complexion.

It was just yesterday that he was suffering and dying, but now his condition has improved so much that he can even eat breakfast.

“… … “I think I’m at a point where I can go back right now.”

“Wow, you have an impatient personality. Still, you became a benefactor of this place, but are you going to turn me into an ungrateful fairy who didn’t even say thank you?”

When Avalanche said that and looked back, a stargazing woman wearing a purple hood and Sadella were coming in from outside the door.

“Your complexion looks good. Even though he made a contract with the Chaos Spirit Emperor in a dying body, he looked like he had at least gone on a drink. “If anyone saw it, they would think at least a treatment was put in.”

“remedy… … I guess that’s correct. Thank you for introducing me to the Spirit of Chaos.”

Avalanche made an expression of bewilderment at Harang’s words.

“That elf, I was trying to trouble you. Do you know? “If you were an ordinary human being, you would have been consumed by the chaos spirit emperor!”

“Fortunately, I was not ordinary, and he recognized my unusualness and introduced me to him.”

“Oh my goodness. When you put it in that perspective, I’m a little moved, right? Well, but what Youngmul said is true. “I never expected you to be this good.”

Then she pursed her lips.

“No way, I didn’t even know that the elders would try to reseal the chaos spirit ritual with just one word from me. “I think I’ve been preparing for it for a long time, but really, if it wasn’t for you, it would have been a big problem.”

The woman slowly approached Harang.

“Well, after this incident, the chief has delegated the authority to punish the elders.”

“Chief… … .”

“Even if I want to see your face, I can’t. He… … He has almost reached the end of his life and is now almost a plant. It’s probably impossible to even speak properly. “You humans have a hard time communicating without voice, right?”

So does it mean that fairies have other means of communication other than voice and text?

“Anyway, now that the elders are away, I, as the acting chieftain, have decided to express my gratitude to you, the benefactor, on behalf of the village. As a bonus, I guess I should give something in return, right?”

Harang shook his head.

“I don’t get anything in return.”

“know. Because you are a ‘descendant of warriors’. Right?”

Sadella, who was listening from behind, trembled slightly but startled at those words.

“also… … “You are a descendant of Caladorn.”

She had lived in the forest all her life, so when she saw her silver eyes, she could only think that they were a similar color to Caladern of the legend.

For humans, the formula ‘Silver eyes are Kala’dun’ is true, but for elves who do not know much about human society, this does not apply.

“Hehe, it’s not just a descendant. “You could say they are true descendants who were born with the fate of a warrior.”

“… … .”

As Harang looked at the woman in silence, she smiled and came in front of him and said.

“The record about the warrior Kaladan is famous even among us elves. It is said that he visited places in danger, saved them, and then suddenly disappeared without expecting anything in return. But, you know what? “It’s not like everyone couldn’t repay him.”

“But I… … .”

“Don’t you know these words?”

She said in a whisper.

“When a fairy receives a grudge, she always returns it in kind, and when she receives a favor, she repays it with even greater grace.”

“… … “I’ve heard of it.”

“Yes, exactly as you said. As fairies, we elves must return the favor. Otherwise, the World Tree will hate you. Are you still going to refuse?”

How can I refuse when you say something like that?

When Harang seemed to agree, she nodded backwards.

Then, Sadella walked in front of Harang, holding a box made of high-quality wood with a nervous expression on her face.

Even at first glance, I could see that there was something unusual inside, but Sadella was completely sweating.

“Are you sure you want to hand this over? This is a sacred item handed down from generation to generation… … .”

Sadella asked with a worried expression, but the stargazing woman seemed to have no intention of giving in.

“The Chief is lying down with all authority delegated to me, and the elders have not yet fully woken up due to the chaos engulfing them. “No one has the right to stop my decision.”

Yes. She hoped that the elders of this damn village would be shocked and foaming at the mouth, and she was deliberately trying to give Harang a huge reward.

Sadella, who learned the true meaning, broke out in a cold sweat but steeled herself.

Even though she didn’t have the courage to do something big like this, she was hoping for a big change to come to this awful town.

‘A sacred item that was always inherited only from the elf chieftain was given to a human boy.’

What happens when the village’s oldest rules and laws are broken?

If you are stuck in a frame and only move according to established rules, and the routine that has never been broken for hundreds of years is shattered.

The elves in the village… … What will be the reaction?

Will we acknowledge the change and move forward, or will we deny it and stand still?

‘Maybe that boy came not only to save this village, but also to become the starting point for change.’

If only it could be a starting point for reform.

“This is what the World Tree, known as the guardian of life, left behind… … It is called ‘the golden branch of the World Tree’. “It is the most precious item in our village.”

It wouldn’t be a waste to buy something like this.

“Will you accept it?”

The moment when Sadella handed the box to Harang while saying that.

-These guys!!

Outside the hut, a lion’s hoove burst out.

-How dare you arbitrarily steal the sacred object of the World Tree and give it to humans?!

Blah, blah! As the roof of the hut was torn off, the stargazing woman and Sadella hurriedly stepped back and looked at the sky.

High above the disappeared ceiling.

Through the pouring sunlight, an old floating elf was looking down at this place with an angry face.

The elf, whose face is half stained with purple chaos, is the strongest elementalist in the village who was the first to push for the resealing of Cardion, the elemental lord of chaos, and the being with the highest power after the chieftain.

It was Elder Withelin.

“How dare you try to hand over the village’s sacred items to humans… … .”

She summoned dozens of giant spirits into the air and howled like animals at the woman and Sadella who were gazing at the stars.

“You bitches will definitely be severely punished!!”
