Chapter Index

    [Tsk. I believed it just in case.]

    Medis fell to his knees and lost consciousness.

    No matter how talented Medis was, it was still difficult to summon the Spirit King. Even if the will is virtual, the world cannot be solved by will alone.

    He failed the spirit contract.

    Slurp.

    Jump!

    Atrot’s hand disappears.

    The translucent space quickly closed and disappeared.

    Contract cancellation.

    “Um, are you okay over there?… .”

    Ronica approached the fallen Medis, but there was no movement.

    “You’re not dead!?”

    I also walked to the side.

    “… He didn’t die. But if you leave it like this, you will die soon.”

    “My body is very cold. It’s like ice.”

    “My whole body was frozen.”

    “Ugh… A contract is a very dangerous thing.”

    “No. The opponent was the Spirit King, and as he was forced to endure his lack of affinity, he was passed out as a result of being held back.”

    “… So what should I do now?”

    “Hmm… … .”

    I looked down at Medis for a moment.

    Full body frostbite.

    I feel an intense chill.

    It’s already too late to fix it with warming magic. If this continues, you will die.

    Since I couldn’t just watch, I melted the surrounding snow with flame emission magic and laid Medis down on the relatively flat ground.

    Afterwards, Atrot’s character appeared again and spoke.

    [This guy still doesn’t have enough dishes. I guess I have a few more years to grow.]

    [How many years? I am on the verge of death.]

    [Know. So you will live.]

    [Me? I don’t know how to fix this.]

    [Isn’t there a power that I told you about? Let that damn chill out directly. I’ve put a lot of effort into forcing myself to appear here.]

    […] [There are so many different things.]

    There is no other way.

    It’s a bad fate, but I can’t let you die here.

    “Ha… .”

    The mana circuit has been changed.

    It raised the chill of my whole body.

    “Negro?… .”

    “Stay back for a moment. I need treatment.”

    “Yes.”

    I sat in front of Medice and touched her chest.

    Where its mana circuit is located. Even this place is eroded by the cold and is frozen.

    The body freezes.

    The mana circuit stops.

    If you leave it like this, it will probably die within a few minutes. But I think I know what to do. I pulled out the cold that was eroding its body.

    Shuaa~

    The chill from the guy goes up my hand.

    It is a power that I have continuously trained even after I froze Andro in order to save him.

    Controlling this level of chill is no longer difficult.

    Shoooo-

    Chill circulates through the body.

    The optimized mana circuit reacts with the cold, making it feel warm.

    Rather than a treatment, it is an act of transferring the chill itself to me. With this power, the side effects of thawing can be completely prevented.

    Soon, Medis’ complexion began to return.

    This should be enough.

    Next, I cast a warming spell and stood up.

    “The complexion has returned… How did you do this?”

    “You can do it too.”

    “Huh?”

    He placed his hand on the top of his disciple’s head.

    Inhale the chill.

    Shuaa~

    “Aaaah~”

    Unlike Medis, it was over quickly.

    “Gasp!! The feeling in my hands and feet that had just disappeared has returned!?”

    “Tell me again when it gets cold.”

    “Wow!… thank you. Black guy is cool!!”

    I looked to the side again.

    This is a place where you can feel the status of Art Trot.

    [Anyway, the contract failed. What should we do now?]

    [It’s not that there is no income. Because meeting me will greatly increase our friendliness. Since I’m not dead, you’ll be able to accept me in a few years.]

    [You will keep your promise, right?]

    [of course.]

    The transaction was roughly over.

    Medis gained great affinity.

    Artrot will sign a contract in a few years.

    I gained 10 years.

    It’s a somewhat uneasy ending, but… .

    No, it’s still uncomfortable.

    Now that I’ve come this far, I feel like I have to do something.

    This is the 24th floor.

    The place closest to the spirit world.

    then… .

    Okay.

    I looked at my disciple.

    “Huh?”

    A guy who looks cute.

    I wonder if this guy can summon spirits too.

    Even after all this, she is the daughter of a talented prosecutor and the lord of Seongju. As the ban was lifted, talents that rivaled those of Medis blossomed.

    You never know.

    There may be some affinity.

    There is no harm in trying, whether you fail or not. I immediately asked Artrot.

    [How do you make a spirit contract?]

    [Spirit contract? Why are you asking? Are you trying to make a contract with a spirit?]

    [I plan to recommend it to my student. A suitable wind spirit would be fine. If possible, I plan to give it a try myself.]

    I didn’t have much of a connection with spirits.

    In my past life, my affinity was close to zero.

    When I learned the Wind Cloud Blade and became familiar with the wind, it was a lich that was as black as any spirit.

    But couldn’t it be different now?

    Besides, I said this for my disciple.

    I’ll have to do everything I can.

    Atrot answered immediately.

    [under!! You lowly people can make a spirit contract… … uh? Ha, I could… Huh?… … .]

    But the tone was perplexing.

    It’s like he’s looking at me.

    [Why do you do that?]

    [You two… … He’s quite friendly.]

    [Affinity? Unfortunately, I don’t know how to feel. Is it possible to sign a contract?]

    […] … … you… Oh, no. can do.]

    Ambiguous answer.

    Although I can’t really see Artrot’s status yet, he looks quite surprised.

    For what reason?

    The guy quickly continued talking as if nothing had happened.

    [Hmm… Unfortunately, I don’t know about spirit summoning magic, but I know at least one way to summon a spirit from the 24th floor.]

    [Something.]

    [Bring out your power. If it’s wind, then wind. If it’s ice, ice. If it’s fire, it’s fire. If you show off your power, the spirits may absorb that power and reveal their true nature. This is only possible on the 24th floor.]

    [I like it because it’s simple. A place with a lot of wind would be a good place, right?]

    [The better the environment, the better. The power of an attribute is affected by the environment, and the larger the power, the easier it is for the spirit to absorb the power and reveal itself. Of course, this is only if the spirit likes it.]

    [Then I guess I should go somewhere else.]

    [Now, stop for a moment!!]

    [hmm?]

    […] Isn’t there enough wind here too? So try it here.]

    [You mean here? okay. If you fail, you can move on.]

    […] … … .]

    [But why did you do that earlier?]

    [What do you mean… .]

    [It looks like you have something to say.]

    [at all!! Stop worrying and hurry up and sign the contract.]

    […] Sure.]

    I looked at my disciple.

    It must have been cold again, so I put my hands together and exhaled.

    “Are you okay?”

    “Yes. It’s still worth holding on. Are black people okay?”

    “I’m fine. At least you are immune to this cold, so don’t worry.”

    The power that Artrot taught us had a very high synergy depending on the environment.

    Strangely enough, the cold that I could control did not affect my body at all, and I could control the external cold to my heart’s content.

    In other words, I am in a calm state.

    “As expected, black people are great. Even though I have warming magic, I’m still this cold.”

    Once again, I placed my hand on the top of my disciple’s head and sucked out the chill.

    “Tell me when it gets cold again.”

    “… Yes!”

    “And don’t you want to make a contract with a spirit?”

    “Spirit? But won’t I fall like Medith? It’s a little scary…

    Ronika looked down.

    Medis is seen with her arms stretched out nicely.

    Does this guy even know that he almost died?

    “Medis is like that because she faces the Spirit King. He was forced to sign a contract, but you are different. If you do well, you might be able to meet a cute spirit.”

    “… … Cute spirit… I want to do it!!”

    “Then pull out that sword.”

    “Sword? Okay.”

    Whoosh!

    My disciple immediately pulled out the sword I gave him.

    “Try to show off as strong and as much wind as possible. It is said that the 24th floor here is close to the spirit world, so spirits are drawn down by absorbing attribute energy.”

    “Wind… As powerful as possible!!”

    The disciple who stepped back took a deep breath and moved quickly.

    An attitude without a single doubt.

    Whoop!!

    One point stab.

    After that, raise your sword and strike with the wind.

    Wow!!

    Assist with the left hand and strike vigorously, blowing a breeze.

    Huh!!!

    “Hiyaap!!”

    Chop!!

    Swish!!

    Huh~

    The wind blows.

    The disciple started sword dancing.

    Thanks to the sword of the storm obtained this time, its power became even stronger.

    Fine circles.

    The wind danced within 3 meters, and the nearby snowstorm whipped around, creating a beautiful light. I wonder if the spirit will react to this kind of behavior… .

    Hwiyuwoong~~

    What?

    Before I knew it, I felt another wind mixing in with the disciple’s wind.

    It was very subtle, but I noticed it.

    This is not the disciple’s wish.

    of something else.

    maybe… .

    government ordinance.

    It seems that the spirit’s own wind is in tune with Ronika’s wind.

    Is it a process of absorbing energy?

    “Don’t stop and keep going.”

    “Okay!!”

    Swish!!

    “Lower pressure!!

    Wow!!

    Huh!~

    Disciple’s sword dance.

    The outside wind mixing in there.

    “I feel strange!… .”

    “Continue. The spirit is watching you.”

    “… Haaap!!!!”

    Jeji blows the wind into the sky with all his might.

    The wind blows in all directions again.

    He continued his movement, piercing the fog.

    yet.

    Whirring!~

    “pp!~”

    A cute voice rang out in the air.

    At the same time, a spirit with a clear reality appeared.

    “Sign a contract with me!!”

    “Ugh?”

    Green hair.

    Fairy wings.

    Its body is smaller than my cub Hwansu.

    Wow!!

    That guy came over with his arms wide open and hugged Ronica’s cheek.

    ><To the eyes.

    An impression that my student would just like.

    Even at first glance, she is the ultimate cuteness spirit.

    “Ear… So cute!!!”

    “Kyeong~”

    The disciple’s eyes sparkled and he tightly wrapped the wind spirit with both hands.

    “Let’s make a contract! We.”

    “Good, good! Joaa!!”

    A breeze blew between the two.

    The disciple opened his eyes wide.

    “Gasp! The system message says we have a contract. I have a spirit summoning skill!?”

    “… That’s good.”

    “Good! From now on, your name is Sylphy!”

    “Good, good, good!!”

    Low language skills.

    The power felt is weak.

    Is it a low-level spirit? … .

    I thought your disciple would be at least intermediate level.

    No, just summoning it is a big deal. Because spiritists are very rare.

    It’s unfortunate, but there’s nothing we can do. In any case, spirits are beings that grow together with their contractees. As the disciple becomes stronger, the spirit will also become stronger.

    So now it’s my turn.

    “I want to borrow the sword for a while.”

    “Sword? oh! Do you want to be black too?”

    “It won’t hurt to try it.”

    “Oh! I’m excited to see what kind of spirit the black guy will summon!!”

    “… … … .”

    “Now! As much as you want.”

    chuck.

    I accepted my disciple’s sword.

    The sword that contained my life. If I can create wind with this, I will be able to make a contract with the spirit.

    […] … … .]

    But why?

    Although I don’t say anything, I keep feeling Artrot’s uncomfortable gaze. Maybe it’s because I’m used to it, but if I wait a little longer, I might be able to see Artrot’s status with my own eyes.

    Anyway, what do you think?

    I held my sword neatly.

    If I rampage here with full power, the mountain could collapse, so I aimed at the sky.

    Fit-

    I drew my circle.

    The circle stretched into an oval high in the sky.

    The endless circle suddenly became a straight line and reached beyond the sky.

    Dramatic.

    One point through.

    Phew-

    He cut off the one-point thrust at high speed and took out his sword.

    A bullet of wind was fired with a recoil.

    It is dozens of times faster and more powerful than the gun weapon I saw before.

    … Paaaa!!!!-

    A strong aftermath occurred.

    The snowy mountain fog spreads out in a circle.

    “Ugh!?”

    The disciple covered his face with both arms, with his hair blowing violently. In that gap, a sharp bullet of wind pierced the sky and disappeared.

    It’s not over yet.

    Dramatic.

    Slash away.

    He swung the sword he had stabbed high to the side.

    At the same time, my long oval stretched to the side and changed direction.

    Whirring!!!

    A sharp wind cut the spreading fog to one side.

    Thanks to this, the fog was cut into the shape of a lollipop.

    It seems like there is a blue sky.

    finally.

    Dramatic.

    Make a big cut.

    Wow!!!!

    A net-like wind stretched out.

    A powerful technique that causes everything in front to disintegrate and disappear in the wind.

    The candy-shaped pierced fog is pulverized.

    It loses its shape and disappears.

    The sky becomes clearer.

    Although it was only for a moment, it felt like I saw sunlight.

    Is this not enough?

    Still, I don’t feel anything special.

    Then, the next thing is to send the wind and storm into the sky-

    Whoa!!!!!

    “Ho… .”

    The action stopped.

    This is because I suddenly felt a strong wind.

    Pulverized fog gathers.

    In an instant, intense energy gathered together, and soon the spirit that absorbed all the wind appeared.

    A green-haired, human-shaped woman.

    It’s a pretty high energy.

    Is it a high-level spirit?

    no.

    It’s much more heterogeneous than that.

    It feels like an almighty level next to divinity.

    no way… .

    She sent her pure and clear voice into the cool breeze.

    “I can see the fruits of your efforts thousands and thousands of times. Also, a phantom beast that is familiar with Mana. Just looking at it makes me feel clearer.”

    “Kya!? Spirit King?”

    … what?

    Sylphy, summoned by Ronica, expressed surprise.

    I was just wondering, but it really was the Spirit King.

    why?

    Because it’s a refund?

    Could it be that I have a high level of affinity?

    under.

    This kind of luck is finally coming to me.

    “Did you come down to make a contract with me?”

    “I am Eresilena, the Spirit King of the Wind. I saw your infinite growth potential. I think that if I’m with you, I too will be able to grow into something I’ve forgotten. So, I make a contract with you-”

    [go away!!]

    “Huh!?… .”

    The Wind Spirit King was startled and floated backwards.

    What kind of situation is this again?

    “Da, you… Spirit King of Ice?”

    When do you say things are difficult?

    Before she knew it, the translucent incarnation of Atrot appeared and was glaring at her.

    Sounds very unpleasant.
