Chapter 2059 – 2059. Savior of the Academy
“I decided to be a mermaid.”
The appearance of a mermaid, the highest level spirit of water, was barely passing by my standards. The fact that the lower half of the body is a fish, so there is no pussy, is a big deduction factor. Still, the breasts tend to have a lot of volume, so it was okay.
And the fact that the appearances of the other spirits are far from humans also played a role.
“…”
The mermaids and other water spirits looked at me. Then, as if he was not interested, he turned his head and looked at YuRia. Those eyes were full of love.
“What do you want?”
“Can you play again?”
“Let’s be friends, friends!”
“Aren’t you thirsty? I will give you the cleanest water in the world!”
“Deep in the sea, I know where the treasure is. Humans like shiny things, don’t they? Shall I bring it?”
I laughed at the water spirits who voluntarily wanted to become YuRia’s slaves. Even though she has excellent affinity with spirits like me, she doesn’t approach me favorably, so I thought she would come out like that to Yuria.
Of course, Yuria also has some of her elemental firepower. She’s a genius, because she also had her elementalist talents. However, since they are born with a different kind, they are only at a level that is superior to that of ordinary people.
“What is your name?”
Yuria asked the mermaid. The mermaid was delighted and answered.
“You mean that? I am Dalia. They rule the sea around here, do you want the treasure of the sea?”
“Please make a contract with my master.”
I activated the spirit eye. With her golden eyes, she appeals to her talent as an elemental sage.
“… With that guy? It definitely feels familiar. But it felt too hot, so… I don’t like to contract. I’m a little bit, but I can feel the future… I think something bad will happen if I sign a contract with a man.”
The mermaid shuddered and refused.
A fish or something rejects me. She felt bad and crumpled her face. Beside her, Elena giggled.
“I don’t need you either. Go away.”
“Did you hear? The master says he doesn’t need you. Turn it off.”
“Uh? Bo, don’t you want treasure?!”
“Turn off.”
“Haaaaagh!”
The mermaid cried and disappeared into the sea. She looked at it and regretted it a bit. Because she belatedly came up with a way to make it rare using the spirit jade.
‘No. I guess it didn’t work for that.’
She brushed off her regret. Isn’t she a half fish bitch who doesn’t even look anyway. She decided to take one of the other 2 superlative water spirits.
I took her elemental jade out of my inventory.
The gaze that had been focused on Yuria turned to me at once. In particular, as if lower-level spirits were being led, they came stealthily.
“Nature… I can feel the power of nature.”
“If only I had that…”
“I will do anything! I’ll do anything, give it to me!”
She moved mana. Blue lightning occurred with the wind and swept the surroundings. The lower spirits were taken aback by that alone and retreated. Spirits are basically impervious to physical attacks, but… The story is different if it contains the power of the spirit or the power close to nature. In the present case, both are applicable.
“I don’t need you weaklings, so go away.”
After threatening several more times, the lower spirits became frightened and disappeared. All that remained were water spirits of intermediate level or higher. It wasn’t even half of half.
There are intermediate level spirits, but manago and higher level spirits keep an eye on them. If you can’t communicate with the remaining top-level spirits, you have to make a contract with the higher-level spirits.
Approached the dolphin and whirlpool ball. Even the highest level spirits could not take their eyes off the spirit jade.
“If you sign a contract with me, I will give you this. Who wants to sign a contract with me?”
It was the dolphins who reacted first. The dolphin crumpled her face fiercely and cried out.
“A cheeky human bastard. Do you dare to sign a contract with me with just that? If you give me 10 times that amount, I’ll even think about it!”
‘This guy won’t work.’
The lower level spirits are weak, but their intelligence is not very high, so they are easy to handle. On the other hand, those of intermediate level or higher have high intelligence and are able to grasp their own strength to some extent.
Even if he was above the senior rank, he was called the god of the land in the old days and was worshiped by humans. There is no limit to lifespan, so most people look down on humans. When it comes to the highest level spirit, it has a bad personality by human standards.
‘Normally, how do elemental spirits try to coax you? Even if you give up the superiority of the contract, the powerful power of the highest level spirit is attractive.’
But I didn’t mean to. A spirit or something like that serves as my master? Absolutely not.
“You are eliminated.”
“Be polite, man. As for you, if I do my best, the whole area here.”
Hooked
Yuria’s dagger stabs the dolphin in the back. Black thunderbolts wriggling from the dagger slowly gnaw away at the dolphin’s body.
“What is this?!”
“That is the question I want to ask. Did you think I would stay still after making such absurd remarks to my master?”
“Ei-i-i-ik! They treated me because I had unhuman performance skills! Dare!!”
The dolphin indignantly raised its strength. Waves began to crash in the calm sea.
Charrrr.
A black chain protrudes from the shadows and restrains the dolphin. Yuria took her dagger and hacked through the spiritual body of her highest level spirit.
“Oh no! It hurts! Aaaaagh!”
I watched with interest.
Black lightning.
That’s suppressing the spirit power. It must have been fatal to the dolphin from the first moment it was ambushed. Then, the shadow chain suppresses the spirit’s power and swings the dagger to cut off its pulse.
‘Even a dagger is not wielded randomly. Does Yuria feel something I can’t see or feel?’
Eventually, the dolphin disappeared leaving behind a terrible scream.
Intermediate water spirits got scared and ran away. The higher level spirits distanced themselves from Yuria. The whirlpool of the whirling ball, the remaining top-tier elemental, has sped up. As if he was wary of Yuria.
I approached the swirling ball.
“Do you want to sign a contract?”
“That, you, you are too hot for us. A powerful being is already protecting you. It’s not always a good thing to sign contracts with beings that are too powerful.”
It seemed that the water spirits were reluctant to me because of Infera. Just as water and fire are in conflict, the spirits instinctively avoid each other. I already knew it, so there’s nothing to be surprised about.
“Come to think of it, I feel like I’ve heard something like that before. Didn’t I say that contracts with powerful beings are influenced by powerful beings?”
“It is as you say! So, you’d better decide the contract carefully!”
“Okay. Take your advice and decide carefully. Make a contract with me.”
He held out his spirit jade and strode closer. Yuria grabbed the back of the swirling ball. Elena moved to her side and pressed.
“My, do I look easy?”
“Do you think we are all right?”
As soon as the swirling ball is about to use its force in earnest, it will start moving. No matter how top-notch spirits are, there are bound to be restrictions attached to places other than their own territory.
“Are you going to sign a contract? Won’t you?”
“Ha, I will.”
Being a spirit didn’t mean he wasn’t afraid of death.
“I will give you a spirit jade in exchange for the contract. If you listen to me carefully, I’ll give you an extra elemental jade from time to time. You must come whenever I call. If you don’t come, you will be hit for a breach of contract. I don’t know how much damage it will take… Don’t contract with anyone other than me. Have you ever made a contract with a human?”
“This is our first contract. I tried to make a contract with another human… Humans couldn’t stand it.”
“I couldn’t stand it.”
Even spirits of the same rank have different powers for each object. The whirling ball might be extraordinarily strong than other spirits.
I was nervous before signing the contract.
‘It’s different from when I signed with Arest. Because Arest signed a contract with me without feeling repulsive. On the other hand, this guy instinctively feels a sense of rejection.’
A rebound could come.
He held out the spirit jade toward the slowly swirling ball. The swirling ball slowly accepted the spirit jade. The spirit jade in my grasp floated up and went inside the swirling ball. The whirling ball startled and cried out.
“It’s good!”
The contract went through.
A pass extends from the swirling ball and connects to me. Rebound. In other words, he expected a backlash to some extent, but surprisingly, there was no backlash at all.
Instead, an image was drawn.
White skies and endless waters. I was standing naked on the surface of the water. It was a place where no wind was blowing. All I could feel was the touch of the water on my feet.
I lowered my gaze. The water, which I thought was transparent, became darker as I went down. And there was a vortex in it. Rotating wildly, it felt like a living being. That huge presence recognizes me.
I thought I knew why the swirling ball had failed to make a contract with humans. Perhaps this is stronger than Arest or Infera.
I laughed.
“I am your master. Lay down your eyes.”
Its name came to mind naturally.
“Terra.”
Image is broken.
A swirling ball, Terra, floated in the air in front of me.
“Sir, it worked!”
Terra cried out. She also seemed oddly happy. It sounded like a female voice. Gender doesn’t mean anything to the spirits.
I felt good too. Water, wind and fire. I made a contract with three top-notch spirits. The thunder owl, Moka, is an advanced spirit. Even if Makina was out of the question, it would be fair to call her the Grand Spirit. I can’t use spirit magic.
“Good start. Shut up the rest.”
Terra was obedient. As per my will, I slightly raised my strength and threatened the other water spirits. The water spirits panicked and disappeared. Even if it looked a bit stupid, Terra was a top-notch spirit.
Since we achieved our goal, we moved on to the next plan.
Chii profit!
I moved to a lake in Pyeongan-do using the space travel spell. The moonlit lake was beautiful in itself.
As soon as I arrived, I summoned Terra. A swirling ball of water appeared in the air. It has neither eyes nor mouth, but it flies slowly around as if it is mysterious.
“Where are you? I feel a strange power.”
“Did you look around? Then turn the lake over.”
“Huh?”
In the original [Academy’s Savior], It was a place that could be reached through sub-quests. Originally, it was necessary to meet the conditions of this or that item or ritual, but it was too cumbersome and took a long time, so I signed a contract to use the power of the highest level water spirit.
“There must be a unique structure in the lake. Turn all the water in the lake upside down and bring it out. There may be some gimmicks, but bring them out somehow.”
“… Uh. I do not know what I mean.”
“If you want to do it, do it.”
“…”
