Chapter Index

    “Da, you… Spirit King of Ice?”

    [Why are you so surprised? Do you not like this body being here?]

    The Spirit King of Wind was embarrassed.

    Artrot crossed his arms arrogantly.

    Just as I was finally thinking about signing a contract with the Spirit King, Atrot came out and interrupted me.

    why?

    It was absurd so I just watched quietly.

    “Why did you come here? No way, they are going to kill me just like they killed Asratan-”

    [Stop talking nonsense!! This is my territory. This is not a place where you can come as you please.]

    “Such unreasonableness… … .”

    For reference, Asratan is the spirit king of chaos who was destroyed by Atrot. Because of this, Atrot was able to occupy the vacant position of Spirit King.

    however… .

    What kind of nonsense is this?

    They told me to make a spirit contract here, but now they are sabotaging me.

    No, something is strange.

    Didn’t the disciple just watch?

    this guy… .

    Could it be that they are keeping me in check?

    Well, if I had the added power of the Spirit King, I might be able to surpass Atrot even faster. At least my strength will be twice as strong.

    I can’t wait to see this.

    “Artrot. stop. They told me to sign a contract here, so why are they interfering with me?”

    [Ugh. that… .]

    “Are you afraid that my strength will become stronger?”

    [under!? No matter how strong you become, you are no match for me.]

    “Then why?”

    [Well, that’s… … .]

    The guy couldn’t answer quickly.

    What are you trying to hide?

    “… This is not the mood to be here. I will come again when I have the chance.”

    “What. Wait!!-”

    Shalalak~

    While arguing with Atrot for a moment, the Spirit King of Wind suddenly disappeared.

    I never thought I would run away like this… .

    Thanks to you, I was the only one who got pooped.

    “… ha. Thanks to you, the contract with the Spirit King has passed. What are you going to do with this?”

    […] … … joy. That guy is weak anyway. Sign a contract with someone else.]

    “Leaving the Spirit King behind?”

    […] There are spirits that are more perfect than that.]

    “Perfect than the Spirit King?… Are you kidding me? No, even if it exists, can I sign a contract? I’m not that close to anyone other than the wind.”

    [Don’t lie! You are even familiar with ice!!]

    “Ice?”

    [You have mastered my power.]

    “Ah… .”

    The power that Artrot taught us.

    The ability to create terrifying cold and ice.

    That certainly makes sense. With this, you might be able to summon the ice spirit.

    It also becomes easier to learn Atrot’s power. Even if you fail to control it and are consumed by the cold, you will be able to easily overcome the crisis.

    Moreover, the Wind Spirit King said that he would come again when the opportunity arises. In that case, it would be okay to summon it separately later in a place like a windy valley.

    “I guess I should give it a try.”

    […] Yeah, yeah. Well thought out.]

    The chill rose again.

    This is the top of a snowy mountain. It is a place where there is a bitter cold and snowstorms.

    Additionally, the more Atrot’s power is raised, the more he becomes attuned to the cold itself, allowing him to draw on the surrounding cold as if it were his own strength.

    Perfect for training too.

    Hwiyu~

    I controlled the chill.

    A blizzard blows past Ronica and me.

    The snow I was stepping on slowly recedes and disappears.

    As expected, the power itself is amazing.

    “Wow… .”

    The disciple watches the scene blankly.

    “You saw it, so you know the situation. I will go away for a while and try to summon a spirit.”

    “Yes. I will support you!!”

    It fell a little far away.

    I entered the middle of a snowy mountain blizzard and became attuned to the surrounding chill.

    Although I trained hard, I think I can become quite strong here. For example, an ice storm.

    A cold, transformed aura was placed on his left hand.

    It’s been so long.

    A 1-second draw in the power range.

    Tornado cat punch.

    Shriek!!

    Jwajwajwajwa!!!!

    A fierce ice storm raged ahead.

    It was so powerful that if it hit directly, the body would freeze and shatter. If there was no elemental resistance, it would be an attack that ignores defense.

    Next, I stepped on the slope.

    Blah blah enemy!!

    Three pieces of ice split in front of my feet and flew forward.

    A sharp pillar of ice.

    If I had been standing in front, I might have been pricked by an ice skewer and sent flying far away.

    Surprisingly, it’s good because it’s easy to mix with martial arts.

    Hwiyu~

    I put my sword away for a moment.

    This time, I collected the snowstorm with both hands as if absorbing it.

    With both hands facing each other, the eyes were tightly pressed together with a cold aura.

    It’s not magic, but… .

    Ice Ball + Stack Throw.

    Pishung!!!

    1st stage bent.

    Wow!!

    Damn it!!!

    As soon as it broke, small pieces of ice on the outside flew out like a bomb.

    Two-step bend.

    Wow!!

    Damn it!!

    Pieces of ice exploded again.

    It is a powerful force.

    If that had been right in front of me, my entire body would have been pierced through the ice and exploded.

    3-step bend.

    Wow!!!

    Damn it!!!

    The ice sphere completely exploded.

    At the same time, an unprecedented number of ice fragments exploded in all directions.

    It has an incredible range and power.

    If you apply it a little more, it will become an amazing technology.

    Okay, so what else should we do now… .

    Just when I was thinking that.

    Hwiyung~

    Jump!!

    Suddenly, ice gathered in front of me.

    Should I say that the bite has come? It felt like an ice spirit was watching me.

    I can feel it.

    Minimum high-level spirit.

    Hehehe. This isn’t bad either.

    If you show him a few more skills, he will absorb the power and reveal himself.

    So, this time I grabbed the sword and-

    [go away!!!]

    “Mhwaraeng!!? Wow, why is the king here? .”

    [Go away!!]

    “Yes, four!!”

    Hwiyuwoong~

    … The spirit ran away.

    I looked to the side absurdly.

    […] … … .]

    Likewise, Atrot’s incarnation turns its head and avoids gaze.

    I couldn’t help but ask him.

    “You… What are we going to do?”

    This is a situation that is completely incomprehensible.

    He taught me how to make a contract and even urged me to summon him here, but when I actually summoned him to make a contract with the spirit, he kicked me out arbitrarily.

    The Spirit King of Wind.

    A high-level ice spirit.

    They were both guys I needed. For me, they were a shortcut to becoming stronger quickly.

    But Artrot kicked it arbitrarily.

    It may be unacceptable to do it once, but it cannot be tolerated twice. There is a need to properly address it.

    “… Can’t you hear me?”

    Atrot looks at me again, embarrassed.

    […] Ah, not yet. Keep doing what you are doing. You can contract with a stronger spirit.]

    “What?… ”

    It’s a random answer.

    You can make a contract with a stronger spirit. Are you talking about chasing away the Spirit King of Wind? Or, is this a new strategy to make fun of me?

    I know that there is a top-level spirit that is a candidate for the Spirit King, but it is still difficult to understand.

    I thought I knew quite a bit now.

    I just don’t know.

    this guy.

    What do you want from me?

    “Why are you doing this?”

    […] … If it’s your affinity… Oh, maybe I can use a stronger spirit. Please try a little harder and use your skills.]

    “Are you sure you are trying to help me?”

    [Of course!! I was never trying to hinder you, I was just trying to help you. This means giving thanks for the grace of this body!]

    “… … But how do you call someone stronger than the Spirit King of Wind?”

    […] … … There is. A perfect and powerful spirit.]

    “… You look a little strange today.”

    [What do you mean! I am normal!!]

    Bickering.

    A conversation that doesn’t move forward from the starting point.

    I didn’t come here to have this conversation. Before we knew it, we were arguing as usual about the spirit contract.

    I usually back off first, but… .

    There was no backing down now.

    The contract with the Spirit King was just around the corner.

    This time, you have to get paid. We will find out his intentions.

    *

    ‘me… ‘I think I understand.’

    Ronica smiled awkwardly and looked at Negro and Artrot alternately.

    The result of quietly inferring the situation from behind the scenes.

    Even though the relationship was hostile, there was an unknown sense of kinship. Although they clearly had a bad relationship, the fight itself made them seem friendly.

    Is that the hateful affection I only heard about?

    The Negro said as he set off.

    Even though they were enemies, I owed them something.

    A comfortable attitude that seems to be friendly and a subtle sense of wariness conveyed through love.

    It is also certain.

    The two are supposed to be enemies, but they happen to become a little close, but it’s a strange relationship that is based on the premise that they should be enemies.

    If so, the past can be inferred a bit.

    Could it be that there was a big fight that couldn’t be compromised?

    ‘… ‘I’ll have to ask the nigger properly later.’

    I looked at the two who were still arguing.

    “How on earth do you summon a spirit stronger than the Spirit King of Dodaechae?”

    [that… … joy! Can’t you find something like that on your own? I mean, look for it yourself!!]

    A conversation still inconclusive.

    But is it because it is a third party position? We realized what each other wanted.

    The black man made a contract with a strong spirit.

    The Spirit King… Make a contract with yourself.

    The Spirit King, whom the black man called Atrot, seemed like the type of person who was very proud and was ashamed of his mistakes and tried to hide them.

    As you can see, he is trying to appeal himself somehow, but he is changing his words.

    There is already a lot of evidence.

    Contracts with other spirits were prevented.

    He said he was also familiar with ice.

    A stronger being.

    A more perfect spirit.

    Make a contract with such a spirit.

    Such a spirit exists.

    ‘this… No matter how you look at it, it’s your story… … .’

    It’s yourself.

    ‘Is the Spirit King a being like this?… .’

    The illusion was shattered, but Ronica continued her thoughts without hesitation.

    Black people aren’t so insensitive that they don’t notice this. However, due to my strange relationship and wariness towards Atrot, I was not able to notice it quickly.

    Also, anger at having missed out on being able to make a contract with a spirit also played a part.

    Currently, the black man’s eyes are blurry.

    I didn’t realize Atrot’s intentions.

    But the problem is that Artrot is also not honest enough to reveal his intentions.

    If things continue like this, time will only be delayed.

    “pp… Head hurts. I want to go back.”

    “What?”

    Pot!!

    Perhaps because of this, Sylphy, the wind spirit who was with us, said that she had a headache. has disappeared. This happened because Ronica’s deep thoughts and emotions were shared to some extent through the spirit contract.

    So, Ronica made a decision.

    ‘… ‘Let me solve it!’

    In this case, he said, let’s connect the two.

    Anyway, if you look at their relationship, it is more like fantasy and collaboration, which is difficult to develop easily.

    Moreover, they are both extremely powerful beings.

    If we work together, we will definitely become stronger!

    “You’re really reckless. I didn’t know you were such a selfish guy.”

    [under! The transaction I helped with!!]

    “You mean you arbitrarily broke the contract with the Spirit King? okay. You probably helped yourself.”

    [Something less mean! I mean, look for it!! I didn’t lie. You can make a contract with a much more perfect and powerful spirit!!]

    “Then how on earth do you sign a contract?”

    [that!… … .]

    “Look at this. Are you planning to keep forcing me to tell you things you don’t even know?”

    [That’s not it!!… .]

    Tadadat!!

    Hwaak-

    “Wait!!”

    Ronica squeezed in between the two who were fighting and spread her arms.

    “… Ronica?… … Why are you doing that all of a sudden?”

    [joy… … .]

    Two people look at each other.

    Burning with a sense of duty.

    Ronika shouted with courage.

    “How about signing a contract between Blacky and Artrot!!?”

    “… What?”

    [Keuhum!!… .]

    What is needed now is three-party arbitration.

    Only you can do it yourself.

    That’s why Ronica hurriedly continued speaking.

    “Atrot is a very strong spirit king, and he also happens to be able to handle ice! Well, wouldn’t it be possible to sign a contract?”

    “… … … !!”

    The black man opened his eyes wide as if he had finally understood the situation. Atrot, on the other hand, hummed and answered gracefully.

    [what… Not a bad idea. I have a high level of affinity for that lowly topic. Jeong, if you wish, I will give this body special consideration.]

    “Huh.”

    Just a gaping mouth.

    The black man looked more shocked than expected.

    *

    Is this guy serious?

    The reason you chased away the spirits from the Wind Spirit King and the Great Ice was to make a contract with yourself?

    Me and Artrot?… .

    I never thought about it.

    I hadn’t even thought about the spirit contract itself, so why should I sign a contract with this guy?

    What the hell… .

    You weren’t trying to keep me in check.

    It was to make a contract with me.

    Only now do I understand his strange behavior. The more powerful and perfect spirit was meant to be Atrot himself, and he probably wanted me to realize and acknowledge it first.

    I’m glad my student noticed. The argument almost got ridiculously long.

    So what should we do?

    Should I sign a contract with this guy? .

    With my nemesis?… … .

    [greatness! If that happens, I would be grateful. This body will personally take care of you. Well!~ It doesn’t matter to me, but if you really want, I can make a contract with you.]

    It’s so funny, look at that guy grunting and appealing.

    For some reason, it seemed like he wanted a contract.

    There are many inferred reasons.

    The oppressive feeling of being trapped in the spirit world.

    The growth of Medis is unpredictable.

    Thunder Ice is summoned immediately and irritably.

    Besides, for some reason, he seems to enjoy watching me and Ronica.

    If you sign a contract with me, all of this will be resolved.

    Freedom, of course.

    You can break the spell of thunder ice.

    Keep watching from the side… No, you can interfere.

    … … Unbelievable.

    Is this a contract for me?

    If you make a contract, you won’t even lend your strength properly, and you’ll say, ‘If you kneel, I’ll help you!’ I feel like all I can hear is,

    It might be fun for him, but it might be annoying for me.

    It’s lucky if they don’t take away your mana.

    And the most shocking thing of all.

    … Was it because of his pride that he couldn’t say he wanted to sign a contract?

    No, I did say it back… .

    It’s just absurd.

    I thought I quite understood Atrot’s language, but I still had a long way to go.

    “You… You always said you were frustrated with me, and you were no different.”

    [W-what are you talking about!!]

    “You shout so loudly at others and are not honest with yourself.”

    [Shut up!! Aren’t you saying you’re close to this body and that you’ll sign a contract? Come and sign a contract with me!! Swing your sword and control the ice!!]

    “Huh… .”

    Is it shameless?

    My brain has been eaten by pride.

    Until just now, it sounded like I could sign a contract if I wanted… Now it has changed to ‘Hurry up and sign a contract!’

    So the reason he chased away the spirit was so that he could absorb its power?

    “But… I think it would be better to make a contract with the Spirit King of Wind.”

    [That guy is weak!! But I am strong.]

    “Isn’t that something that should be helpful?”

    [How cruel!! Just having this body next to you is a great honor.]

    “What are you going to do with Medis?”

    [We will sign another contract later. Until then, I can hang out with you specially.]

    “Until then, will you use me as a substitute?”

    […] … … .]

    “Not at all convinced-”

    Kwagwagwagwagwang!!!!!

    “Inhale!!”

    “Ugh!!!?”

    He quickly lifted Ronica and retreated.

    Because lightning struck in front.

    … Why the sudden thunder?

    [Hehehe. Well, you’ve left me behind to meet another man. My spirit. Do you know how hard I worked to chase you this far? I will pay the price.]

    [You guy… … .]

    I looked up at the sky.

    The fog on the snowy mountain clears.

    No, it gathers higher into black clouds.

    A man coming down to the ground below.

    Thunder Ice. The guy who was obsessed with Atrot appeared in front of us.

    The timing is great too… .

    He immediately glared at me.

    [Am I just being possessed by this guy?]

    His eyes were angry that he had coveted what was his.

    cook-

    The bastard’s stature and fierceness are weighing me down.

    [okay. I will kill you here.]

    What kind of absurd situation is this?

    I feel like the world is wrong.

    This… That’s not good.

    It’s unexpected, though.

    life.

    No, the greatest crisis in reincarnation has arrived.
