Episode 109 33. World Tree (3)

5.

Ten minutes have passed since negotiations began.

“Five drops.”

“Two drops.”

“Five drops.”

“… … two drops.”

The regent and Charon were both fighting without giving an inch of resistance.

“I can already feel the energy of my mother in your body. It seems like you have already taken the World Tree Dew once. As you know, the World Tree Dew does not have a great effect after the second dose.”

“Oh, I’m planning to feed it to my colleagues.”

“Then let’s meet at the three drops.”

“Yes, five drops.”

Caron’s negotiating attitude is as if he is telling you to cut his stomach open.

The regent felt his anger rising for the first time in a long time.

“Ever since my mother lost her vitality, even the dew doesn’t form properly. Five drops is too much… … .”

“Consider it an investment. If you invest without hesitation, I will definitely complete the request successfully. Anyway, I have no other choice… … . Ahem, anyway, please trust me and leave it to me.”

The person in front of you is the protagonist of the that my mother spoke about.

She recalled the she had once heard from her mother.

“When deep darkness falls over the forest, a being born from my life will save me and eventually free you from the forest.”

Obvious.

The Charon Reston before your eyes is the protagonist of that prophecy.

The that opened as he ascended to the position of regent clearly showed that he was the protagonist of the prophecy.

So the regent barely managed to control his emotions. Then he spoke with a faint smile.

“Then how about this proposal?”

“I’ll give it a try.”

“Three drops of dew. There… … I will teach you spirit magic.”

“Spiritualism?”

Are you interested?

Caron, who had maintained a stubborn attitude until now, opened his eyes. But that was only for a moment, and Caron shrugged his shoulders and said.

“Actually, I don’t really have any talent other than swordsmanship.”

After being reincarnated, it’s not that I didn’t try to develop weapons other than swordsmanship.

In fact, I once asked Pale to hire a wizard as my personal tutor.

However, Charon had to give up learning magic after less than a week.

‘waste of time.’

It’s not like there aren’t any swordsmen in this world who have mastered both magic and swordsmanship.

But the rumors about the magician soon die down.

why?

‘Because everyone dies.’

This is because most of them die after gaining some fame.

Using magic and swordsmanship at the same time sounds great, but it’s not really like that.

This is because magic and training methods use different magical powers in the first place.

If the training ceremony focuses on how to efficiently condense magical power, magic focuses on how to efficiently use magical power.

Condensation and use.

Coexistence of these two concepts boasts an extremely difficult level of difficulty.

Moreover, in order to use magic with condensed magical power, a new magic formula had to be created, not an existing magic formula.

‘I don’t have that kind of talent, nor do I need to go that far.’

It may be possible for a dragon to do this, but it was impossible with his own talent.

Therefore, it was much more efficient to focus more on swordsmanship during that time.

“It doesn’t matter if you don’t have talent for magic. Elementalism and magic share the same root of magical power, but they are completely different powers.”

The regent continued speaking with a much brighter expression than before.

“The basic principle of spiritism is equivalent exchange. If you give a spirit your magical power, the spirit will simply lend you its corresponding power. It doesn’t require any complicated spells like magic.”

“I know that even among humans, there are only a handful of spirit users, Your Regent. Let alone a knight who uses spirit magic… … I don’t think I’ve ever heard of it.”

“So, if you learn spirit magic, you will be reborn as a special being.”

A fairly plausible suggestion.

So is this proposal worth giving up two drops of dew from the World Tree?

‘of course.’

Through the last battle with the massacre, I realized how much convenience the spirits provide.

The wind spirit has poor mobility and aerial combat, while the water spirit has poor healing abilities.

The remaining spirits each have their own strengths.

What if you could just use that advantage where it counts?

You will be able to lead battles in a much more diverse way than now.

This would allow for more variables to be created, which would mean a greater advantage in battle.

“You have already greatly increased your affinity with spirits by taking Mother’s Dew. Of course, not everyone who takes Dew becomes a spirit master, but I see great potential in you.”

The regent looked into Charon’s eyes with a smile.

‘It was done.’

It’s clearly a face of shared interest.

Originally, I was planning to teach it unconditionally, but now that it has come to this, it seems right to make it a condition for negotiation.

“Then is it possible to make a contract with multiple spirits?”

As she expected, Caron actively expressed interest.

“Unfortunately, it seems impossible with your aptitude. With your aptitude, you can only contract with one attribute at most. The recommended attribute is water… … .”

Woooooooooo-!

“Excuse me for a moment.”

Suddenly, the guillotine began to resonate. So Charon asked the regent for understanding, and carefully placed his finger on the guillotine’s pommel.

‘What.’

A moment later, Guillotine’s voice rang in Caron’s ears.

-Are you thinking of making a contract with a spirit, Master?

‘I told you to do it.’

-Is there a need to make a contract with the Four Elements? Just do it with that black guy.

Of course, the ‘black guy’ that Guillotine is talking about is…

Miyaaaa-!

It must have meant this dark spirit that keeps rubbing his head.

But I still didn’t know anything about this dark spirit.

Although it is cute, we do not know what abilities it has.

So Charon asked the regent.

“What abilities does the dark spirit possess?”

Then the regent answered with an embarrassed expression.

“As I said earlier, the Dark Spirit is a type of primordial spirit. As of now, not only its abilities, but even the method of making a contract is unclear… … .”

But that was then.

-There’s no way. Just catch them and eat them.

Woof woof woof-!

The magical power flowing out of the guillotine instantly engulfed the dark spirit.

At that sight, Caron grabbed the guillotine in a hurry.

“This crazy guy!”

Although he quickly tried to control the guillotine’s magical power.

Slurp.

This was after the magic power had already consumed everything in the spirit.

“… … The Guillotine. It’s as brutal as I’ve heard from my mother.”

“The Demon Sword has definitely revealed its true colors. Your Majesty. Please wait a moment… … .”

Caron is momentarily taken aback by the sudden turn of events.

Miyaaaaah-!

About 5 seconds passed?

The spirit that had suddenly disappeared reappeared within the guillotine’s magical power.

The color of the spirit’s fur that reappeared subtly changed.

From a black color reminiscent of pitch-black darkness, to a dark blue color resembling the blade of a guillotine.

And at that moment.

“Ugh.”

Caron groaned as she grabbed her left breast.

A pain spread throughout my body, as if someone was tearing apart my magical core.

-Contract complete. How was it? Did I do well?

“You get ready to go into the furnace later.”

-No, Master! Just listen. That’s because the Master doesn’t know this guy’s true nature…

“shut up.”

As Charon gritted his teeth and looked at the guillotine, the regent congratulated him with a slightly dazed expression.

“… … Congratulations on becoming a spirit master, Caron Reston.”

But her congratulations were short-lived.

Saruruk-!

The darkness that flowed from Charon’s body instantly enveloped the surroundings.

6.

“This…….”

The regent looked around with a small exclamation of admiration.

A night came out of nowhere to this place that was filled with warm sunlight.

A darkness where you can’t see even an inch ahead.

But the darkness gently embraced her body.

Rather than feeling fear of the unknown, I felt a comfort in the unknown.

“ah.”

It wasn’t difficult to realize where this darkness came from.

Whoosh whoosh-!

The regent lit up the darkness by lighting up a flame from his fingertips.

Then, Charon appeared with a puzzled expression on his face.

As soon as Karon met her eyes, he smiled awkwardly and said.

“It wasn’t intentional, Your Highness. This guy was acting on his own… … .”

Miyaaaa-.

On Charon’s shoulder sat the dark spirit, still in the shape of a cat.

An absurd power that can turn day into night.

Of course, this change was limited to this area, but this alone was enough to show how powerful the dark spirit was.

She looked at the spirit in silence for a moment, then spoke in a low voice.

“Pluto, that is the spirit’s true name.”

Among the numerous pieces of knowledge received from the World Tree, there was of course the true name of this spirit.

Caron responded with a look of surprise on his face to the regent’s words.

“Hyo-wang… … . What a wonderful name. Well, I think it suits him quite well.”

Caron frowned slightly and laughed in vain.

I immediately understood how outrageous this guy was.

Completely enveloping an area within a certain radius in darkness.

This wasn’t any special technique.

As if he was giving a demonstration, he simply spread his energy around.

‘It’s dizzying.’

The problem is that the energy comes solely from Charon, his core.

In an instant, nearly half of the magical power was lost from the core.

It made me feel extremely dizzy.

This is literally the worst efficiency.

And the bigger problem is.

“I can’t control it.”

Myaaaahh …

I have absolutely no idea how to handle Pluto’s power.

But the regent nodded as if he had expected it.

“This is a common phenomenon for those who first make a contract with a spirit. It happens when the spirit master and spirit’s souls first bond. We call this hyperresonance.”

She looked around once more at the darkness that had descended upon the area.

“We judge the vessel of the spirit master through hyperresonance.”

“Your Majesty, what do you think of my dishes?”

The regent nodded with a bitter smile at Charon’s direct question.

“That’s ridiculous.”

“Thank you for the compliment.”

That was when.

“Your Majesty, Regent!”

“Karouooon!”

“Caron!”

I heard familiar voices from far away.

It was the voice of his colleagues and Orion.

Hearing a voice not too far away, Charon turned his gaze and looked at the edge of the darkness.

“Caron!”

My colleagues were wandering around in the darkness with anxious expressions on their faces.

It seemed like they thought the enemy was attacking.

“I’m fine!”

Charon shouted at them loudly.

However, his colleagues seemed not to hear the voice and just kept looking around.

And that wasn’t all.

Even though they had colleagues right next to them.

“Where did everyone go? Leo! Utula!”

“Damn it! Is it black magic? Could it be that there was a traitor within the city… … It’s Leon-neeeeeeee! Kaooooooon!”

They were calling each other’s names in urgent voices.

From its appearance, Charon was able to guess one ability that the darkness possessed.

‘Blocks the senses.’

A power that would even confuse a 6-star Leon.

Although there was a condition that the opponent had to enter the darkness, this was only the basic ability of the spirit.

And if you consider that this ability is just the tip of the iceberg… … .

“… … Are you kidding me?”

It was clear that he had some incredible power in his hands.

“I’m reincarnated into this taste.”

Caron smirked as he looked at his confused colleagues.

It seemed like this was how I was being repaid for my bad luck in my past life.
