Part 2, Episode 57:
The fairy woman wearing red flames is Igrit, the Spirit King of Fire.
The beast-like bird clad in yellow electricity is Zenki, the Spirit King of Lightning.
The humanoid man wearing green wind is the Spirit King Baranos.
Although they each exude power of different natures, their presence surpasses that of the ancient great devils.
‘No, I think it can be said that it is a large supply if we do our best…’
Is it because of the uniqueness of the spirit world?
Taehyeon thought of the archdukes erupting with power in their respective domains.
[Why do humans have the magic power of Elven?]
[It’s not just Elven. You can also feel the magic of bonsai. This… was planted in the second village, Harun.]
[….]
The three spirits surrounded Taehyeon and muttered.
Spirit language.
Originally, it was a language only learned by the fairy tribe that had made a contract with spirits, but it was not difficult for Taehyeon, who had assimilated with Bonsai, to understand it.
Rather, their voices can be heard clearly even though they are simply muttering.
This is evidence that it contains natural energy that is only available to the fairy race.
“I am an Elven contractor. “I was able to enter the spirit world thanks to Elliot and Pacit’s consideration.”
[Do you know how to speak elemental language?]
[Elliot and Parsite are definitely the elders of Harun.]
[You are Kim Tae-hyun.]
Unlike Igrit Zenki, who is curious. Baranos even knows Taehyun’s name.
[Igrit Zenki. There’s nothing that strange about it. Because I heard it from Peros a while ago.]
[Oh, by the way, you almost got a penalty a little while ago, right?]
[Baranos. They say you shouldn’t sign a contract with a weak guy.]
[I’m on my way back after receiving a sufficient apology. More than that, humans are coming into the spirit world… Is it because of a contract?]
The three spirit kings glanced at Taehyeon and chatted among themselves.
This was a different feeling from when I was in front of the Archduke.
‘I heard everyone has different personalities. ‘It was true.’
Monsters of the underworld. The Elyos of the Upper World are not much different from humans.
Moreover, the constellations that are called the rulers of the universe also have individuality, so there would be no difference if they were spirits.
Taehyeon thought that of the three spirit kings, Varanos was the most rational.
“My name is Kim Tae-hyeon, the Succubus Queen’s contractor and the Fairy King’s evildoer. “I want to make a contract with the three spirit kings.”
Their bodies squirmed as they heard that they were contractors for the Grand Duke and the Fairy King.
[Wow…. Is this the first time I’ve seen this kind of boldness since the Elven days? Moreover, he is an anti-aircraft contractor.]
[I agree. He said he would make a contract with three Spirit Kings at the same time… Isn’t this the first contract?]
[….]
“Igrit, the Spirit King of Fire. Zenki, the Spirit King of Lightning. Baranos, the spirit king of the wind. “I know that you all also signed a contract with the Elven.”
[That’s because elves are unique.]
[Even the village elders can’t make a contract with us if they don’t have a bonsai.]
[Kim Tae-hyun. Unfortunately, your statement is not feasible. Haven’t you heard about ‘mediation’?]
‘I haven’t heard anything like this.’
It was something I had never heard from Elliot and Parcit.
This is because they did not think that Taehyun would actually summon the Spirit King, so they did not tell him.
Taehyun quietly looked at the three spirit kings.
‘I guess we should talk first. It might have something to do with the quest.’
These are beings we have never met in previous regressions.
It was an interesting meeting for Taehyeon, as it is for the fairies.
“Is there a special reason why mediation is needed? “If it were just because of his strength, he would be comparable to the elders of the fairies.”
[Strength is also important. However, we value ‘trust’.]
[Trust that they will endure our summons. Trust that you will fulfill your obligations as a contractor. Well, there are various types of trust.]
[Among them, trust that we will not be penalized for unnecessary deaths. That’s the most important thing. Mediation is a token for that.]
Varanos’ last words were the most impressive.
‘It is a sign of undying strength. There is a penalty for reverse summoning when you reach the level of a spirit king.’
I remembered what he said a little while ago that he had come to hear an apology from Peros.
If Taehyun had not saved Peros, Varanos would have received a penalty and would not have been able to appear here.
“What does the Spirit King gain through the contract?”
[Nutrients for growth. Periodic energy is needed to maintain the status.]
[It’s quite a small amount to receive in return for lending power.]
[It’s great that you contacted us, but if you can’t offer an intermediary, a contract is impossible. ]
[If the contractor is killed, it would be quite a blow to us as well.]
Igrit shook her head and lit a firework.
She, who was in the form of a fairy, was suppressing her desire to contact Taehyun because there was no intermediary.
“I heard from the elders that a spirit contract is impossible unless you are a nature-friendly fairy. “On my first visit to the spirit world, I met the spirit kings.”
[Do you want to emphasize the possibility of future growth? I can definitely sense an unknown strength in you. I don’t think it’s just because of the Succubus Queen’s power…]
[It’s not just because of the Elven’s magical power. There is something special about this guy.]
[However, a contract is impossible without proof.]
That was the starting point.
It seemed like it would be difficult to make a contract without proving mediation.
‘The Elven made a contract through a divine tree, and the elders made a contract through a bonsai. In that case….’
Kiiiii-.
Taehyun rotated the third magic stone.
A colorless and odorless magic stone that has not yet contained the power of the Archduke.
[Is it a magic stone? It would be enough as a medium to prove strength.]
[With that much magical power, I think ultra-fast regeneration would be possible, right? There’s no way you’ll die, but…]
[It’s not enough. Unless you are a fairy, you need more trust.]
Varanos once again emphasized trust.
Apart from being likable, he had a rational personality.
‘You’re being too picky about species when you’re actually taking on a humanoid form. I thought it would be easy…’
“Trust in strength. Trust in death. “Are you saying it’s impossible because I’m not a fairy even though I meet both requirements?”
[It’s unfortunate, but that’s the case.]
[It’s unfortunate, but that’s the law.]
[It’s a shame I can’t tell you in detail.]
The law of the spirit world.
That was all it took to make sense.
If that’s the case, it’s not something that can be done without a lot of effort.
‘If the contractor dies… and the penalty suffered by the Spirit King is related to the laws of the Spirit World…’
“If the Spirit King disappears, will the existence of the Spirit World be in jeopardy?”
[….]
[….]
[….]
The silence of the three spirit kings became the answer.
[What are you, human? What on earth is this?]
[Isn’t this something mortals can know? No, even if I knew, it wouldn’t be something I could say….]
[I’m getting more and more interested… I feel like I want to proceed with the contract right away.]
The corners of Taehyun’s mouth rose at the change in atmosphere.
The medium they want. Because I think I know how to sign a contract.
“Right now, it’s just that three magic stones have been formed. Soon, seven more magic stones will be formed.”
[You mean to start a turf war?]
[It seems like the power of the demons is unusual.]
[This is something that not even the Elven could do. It’s not easy.]
“Yes. It won’t be easy. But it’s not impossible. Just as I will make a contract with the three spirit kings.”
Taehyun is the first magic stone.
The magic power of Rosaria was vomited out.
Even though all the magical power was poured out, compared to the size of the spirit world, it was only a handful of sand scattered on the ocean.
[Are you trying to control us mentally?]
[They said they would force us into submission and sign a contract… I’m disappointed.]
[It’s not too late to listen to the story more and make a decision. Kim Tae-hyun must have something else on his mind, right?]
Baranos asked, calming down the two spirit kings.
Regardless of his strictness, he was trying to give Taehyeon, who saved Peros’ life, a chance.
“yes. I used the Succubus Queen’s magic power not for attack, but to show my imaginary world. “It looks like there is a medium there that the three spirit kings can understand.”
[Become a medium in the world of mortal imagination.]
[As you live long enough, you experience all sorts of things.]
[Isn’t that a bad suggestion? It definitely feels fresh and different from the fairies.]
[Baranos. Your attitude doesn’t seem overly friendly… but it wouldn’t be a bad idea to check it out with your own eyes at least once.]
[Good. Then we all agree.]
“Then, let’s take you to my imaginary world.”
Kiiiii-.
Kiiiii –
Taehyun opened the remaining two hearts and surrounded the Spirit King.
‘heavy.’
Even though I am releasing my magic with all my might, I am confident that if the three spirit kings refuse, the skill will not work.
and.
‘I want it.’
I am also confident that if I can make a contract with the three spirit kings, I will be able to receive great help from the light tower.
‘Dopple, please.’
Thinking of my own hidden card that lives in the world of images.
Tiring.
[Skill ‘Queen’s World (SSS)’ has been activated.]
[Skill ‘Queen’s World (SSS)’ has been strengthened.] [
The target is not specified.]
[Magic power consumption is accelerated.]
The power of purple Completely opened.
The vision is reversed.
at the same time.
Ugh.
A huge maw attacked Taehyeon and the three spirit kings.
* * *
[I don’t know if it’s going well.]
[You know. It won’t be easy.]
Parsite and Elliot said while controlling their magic power.
Originally, spirit contracts were not permitted to anyone other than the fairy race.
This is because the fairies are the only ones who can feel natural energy in the underworld, and the spirits do not like other species.
Even if Taehyun was an Elven contractor, it would have been impossible for him to enter the spirit world without their help.
[It’s a lot more force than that. They are already on par with us who have already made a contract with the Spirit King on our own…]
[Succubus Queen and Fairy King. It’s only natural that we’re signing contracts with gigantic beings. Why would I be an Elven contractor?]
[This would be just as good as a contract for the Spirit King… but it must be difficult.]
In order to contract with a spirit, several mediators are needed.
low class. Middle class. The contract conditions become more stringent as you move up to the higher level, and once you become a Spirit King, it is impossible to complete a contract unless you secure the divine beast’s bonsai.
[yes. Since there is no intermediary… even if you become a mid-level spirit, you will be successful.]
[The qualifications are such that it would not be strange to contract with a high-level spirit… but it is a pity that the species is limited.]
Elven made contracts with numerous spirit kings through divine beasts. but.
Except for her, many of the fairy tribes that signed contracts with the Spirit King have not yet appeared.
The elders also barely managed to make a contract with one spirit king through bonsai.
Even though I know in my head that the probability converges to 0, since he is a contractor between the Archduke and the Fairy King, wouldn’t it lead to a different result?
I was expecting something like that.
Sreuk.
Taehyun opened his eyes.
Elliot and Parsite’s faces hardened.
Spirit King.
Unless a being reigns in the spirit world, a huge amount of natural energy showing its properties is bound to erupt immediately after the contract.
I can’t feel any natural energy from Taehyun right now.
[Is this… a failure?…]
Even if I couldn’t do it, I thought I would be able to make a contract with one of the lesser spirits, so there was a hint of regret in Pasit’s voice.
But the one who was more heartbroken than anyone else was Taehyun.
[There’s nothing to be too discouraged.]
[That’s right, Taehyun. Elemental magic is not the only weapon of the fairy race.]
To Taehyun, who raises his head with a peaceful face.
The two elders offered words of comfort.
