Chapter 349. Becoming the Spirit King (1)
[You have absorbed ‘Pantalasa’, the spirit king of the Pantara Mountains.] [Pantalasa, the
spirit king absorbed by you, wants to stay in Manahat.]
[If you accept this request, you After the silver Pantalassa, you will acquire the status of ‘Spirit King of the Pantara Mountains’.]
A message flashed in front of Lloyd’s eyes.
But Lloyd didn’t realize that.
Rapid charging was still activated.
So I was still in a trance.
When he opened his eyes, about two minutes had passed since the first message popped up.
Ding dong.
[Asurahan Psych skill option ⑤: The activation time of rapid charging has ended.]
Kiyiyi…!
The mana circle that had been roaring and rampaging gradually softened.
The momentum that had been spinning ferociously calmed down little by little.
The ferocious mana absorption was over.
Whoa!
The vacant place where the mana absorption storm has retreated.
A cold wind from the snowy mountains blew there.
He touched Lloyd’s cheeks and eyelids with his eyes.
Suddenly, Lloyd opened his eyes.
“….”
As soon as I opened my eyes, Degururi from the pupils.
check around
I glanced at the message that popped up in front of me.
It was the eye roll of an expert (?) who had already used rapid charging several times.
‘After using the rapid charge, you can check the situation while in a trance and the gains or skills obtained from mana absorption through messages.’
That way you can figure out how things have changed.
Did rapid charging change the surroundings to an advantage?
what benefits it gave.
what choice do you have to make?
I was able to understand it clearly by looking at the message.
But the message that popped up this time….
‘This is beyond my expectations.’
gulp.
It was not a very long message.
But I had to read and check it three or four times.
It was because something far greater than I expected was right in front of my eyes.
‘Pantalasa, the spirit king? Then, was that spirit that disturbed my construction by causing a snowstorm earlier, was the spirit king who ruled over this mountain range? But he said he wants to reside in my manahat?’
I just knew it wasn’t an ordinary spirit.
I expected that he would be a snort in the mountains here.
That’s why I used rapid charging to absorb and remove it from the beginning.
But I didn’t know that a guy who had been absorbed like that would make such a request.
‘To live by sitting on my mana heart? what.’
Should I call this a sudden permanent residency application?
Lloyd tilted his head inwardly.
But one thing was certain.
What if you accept the King of Spirits’ application to reside in Manahat?
‘I’m going to acquire the position of the spirit king of this mountain range.’
He’s human, but he’s the Spirit King.
The lord of the spirits of this town.
Just thinking about it gave me goosebumps.
However, Lloyd did not easily succumb to such temptation.
‘Tsk. No matter how good it looks, shouldn’t I check it first?’
It’s a world where you cut your nose when you close your eyes.
There is no one to trust and nothing to trust.
Just because it looks good on the outside.
Whoa, that’s cool stuff! by saying
In most cases, when you meet a sudden death, you will have the result of regret.
Especially if it is something you see for the first time.
‘Because there is no prior information. Let’s say you have a fruit juice that looks so delicious and classy. But what if you look at the ingredient list? Fruit juice content of 3% Well, there are many cases like this. So I’ll have to check it out What’s good and what’s bad when you get the position of the king of spirits.’
The position of the spirit king?
At first glance it looked good.
However, there may be some trap cards in that position.
Like that, Lloyd checked the inside of his mana heart with the feeling of carefully checking the ingredient list with a salt shaker worth 1,000 won at the mart.
Then, a response came immediately from the vicinity of Manahat.
– ha…cool…It’s cozy….
‘….’
A perverted whisper that could be heard faintly near the Mana Heart in the chest.
Through the whispers, I felt a mass of extremely compressed cold mana.
Lloyd realized the identity of the cold mana mass.
I tried to talk
‘hey. Is that the spirit king of this mountain range, Panthalassa?’
– ha…cool…I’m cozy….
‘….’
– Haaa…Home-like comfort….
‘…hey.’
– Haaaaa….
‘Expelled?’
– ha?
‘Sir.’
A tendon swelled in Lloyd’s temple.
He argued with the feelings of the landlord facing a tenant who was delayed by about a year in rent.
‘Hey, what are you trying to do inside me? Do you want to be kicked out right away?’
Did the word kick out sound threatening?
Finally, the correct answer came back.
– What? kick out? here? me?
‘uh. at there. you.’
– Can we postpone that decision?
‘You want me to postpone it?’
– okay.
‘until when?’
– Human until you die.
‘….’
– I am doing this because it is so cool, cool, cozy and comfortable here. I’m so sincere. I’ve existed since the time the Pantara Mountains rose, but this coolness…It’s my first time.
‘Cool? Could it be the heart of winter?’
– Yes, the heart of winter dwells within you.
The Spirit King’s reply was slightly trembling.
Like someone who has experienced a new newspaper.
Or like a person who has only used a fan all his life and experienced the grace(?) of an air conditioner for the first time.
It was a voice full of emotion.
– So please, human. I won’t ask for a long time. Wait a minute, can’t we just stay here and rest until you die?
‘Hmm, but then it doesn’t matter if the mountain range here is further damaged?’
– It does matter a little bit. but….
‘but?’
– I thought that an opportunity like this would not be common.
‘An opportunity to experience the ultimate coolness while wearing something like the heart of winter?’
– Yes. just such an opportunity.
The King of Spirits continued.
– Human I’ve been watching the construction you’re trying to do. They must be trying to make a way to cross these mountains.
‘Oh right.’
– So, do you have any plans to develop other places?
‘No, maybe.’
– That’s it.
‘Hey, you’re the spirit king of the mountain range.’
– Anyway, this place has already been destroyed, and if we develop it a little more, it’s okay because the other areas of the mountain range are much wider.
‘….’
– So please. Allow me to stay here for just a few decades.
‘Write.’
Lloyd was finally convinced.
The spirit king is properly stuck in the heart of winter.
That’s why it’s your job, your responsibility, and you’re trying to put it off for a while.
‘Well, everyone is like that. Not all spirit kings are perfect beings.’
Everyone has moments when they want to smoke.
no matter how sincere
I also thought that the King of Spirits would be no different.
‘but. If you’re the spirit king of the mountain range, you’ll literally be like the mountain god of this mountain range. Then he must have been working since the creation of the mountain range, so he might want to enjoy a vacation at least once.’
I asked for permission for decades.
It will take a long time for humans.
For the spirit king, who has lived a long time, it will only feel like a few hours of human experience.
‘As a person, are you asking me to leave early or use a half hour?’
Thinking so, I understood the spirit king’s attitude a little.
Of course, I hadn’t thought about accepting that request hastily yet.
‘Then, shall I ask you something?’
– What are you curious about, man?
‘What’s the point if I do that favor?’
– For a few decades, he will obtain the position of the Spirit King who governs this mountain range.
‘No, so explain in detail what is good about obtaining the position of King of Spirits.’
I really need to hear this
It was natural.
‘I don’t want to regret it after believing only vaguely that it’s good.’
It was Lloyd’s sincerity.
The world he saw and experienced was really like that.
To start abruptly because others say they like it or to scream and then regret it.
That’s enough for the parents who were caught in real estate fraud in Korea and were disgraced.
Or, similarly, the Countess and the Prontera couple, whose family almost collapsed due to being caught similarly, are enough.
He didn’t want to step on that train.
So no matter how good others are.
I didn’t want to be shaken by that sound.
I wanted to carefully examine Yomojomo.
‘It’s like investing in stocks. There are so many cases where people go in willingly because others say they like it, but then get bitten by the high point and can’t get out and are in a state of trepidation. how about bitcoin Once upon a time there was quite a craze. At that time, everyone said it was good, so what about the people who went in and got bitten?’
Trying to hit the jackpot with bitcoin.
Everyone almost became the deceased.
‘It’s a specification to be like that. It’s still the same now.’
I will carefully listen to the advantages and disadvantages of obtaining the position of King of Spirits.
Like Lloyd, he was armed with a strict mindset.
Soon, Panthalasa’s answer came back.
– If you become the King of Spirits, first…I feel good.
‘…don’t do that More specifically.’
– More specifically? Eh, I can call the spirits of this mountain range and command them.
‘Command? as you please?’
– maybe.
The King of Spirits continued.
– If they acknowledge and accept you as the Spirit King. You will be able to wield all the power of the spirits of this entire mountain range at will. At least within these mountains.
‘really? I’m a bit suspicious.’
– Why are you suspicious?
‘You didn’t call other spirits to fight us. Why did you do that?’
– Because I was careless. I didn’t know that there would be people who would hit me so painfully, nor would there be people who indiscriminately absorb my mana.
‘Hmm.’
– Really. I could easily defeat the sword masters I met before. So, I thought that it would be similar this time, and there would be no need to call while disturbing the rest of the other spirits. Although my thoughts were careless.
‘Hmm.’
It was definitely a plausible statement.
Lloyd’s question followed.
‘good. If being able to command the spirits of this mountain range is an advantage, what are the disadvantages?’
– does not exist.
‘doesn’t exist?’
– Yes.
‘Write. It smells a bit like fake.’
– Sacha?
‘It sounds like you’re opening your mouth to cheat.’
– no. There really isn’t. We just need to make sure that these mountains don’t get too badly damaged.
‘So that the mountain range is not severely damaged?’
– Yes.
The King of Spirit continued.
– If the mountain range is severely damaged, the spirits living in the mountain range will become dissatisfied or leave. If you do, you will lose support among the spirits.
‘Are you saying there’s a rebellion?’
– Yes Rebellion. You just have to be careful with that.
‘Hmm.’
Lloyd was troubled.
If you damage this place too much, other spirits can rise up.
Thinking that far, he smiled.
‘Then there’s nothing to lose to me. If there’s a rebellion, I’ll give you the position of the spirit king.’
– what?
‘It’s not even mine. No need to obsess. It’s because my goal is to finish the construction here well. So I get it. I will accept your request.’
– Now wait! Is it okay if I give up the position of the spirit king? what is that….
‘Oh, it’s okay because I allowed it. Then how many decades will you rest?’
Ding dong!
As soon as Lloyd revealed his intention of permission.
The voice of the spirit king, Pantalasa, became abruptly small.
At the same time, a powerful message appeared in front of my eyes.
[You have accepted the request of the spirit king Pantalasa.] [Therefore
, you have become the ‘temporary spirit king of the Pantara Mountains’.]
Until.]
[As of this time, you have acquired the absolute authority to summon all the spirits residing in the Pantara Mountains and determine the source of each individual spirit.]
‘Whoa.’
Checking the message, Lloyd drew in a breath.
What Panthalassa said was true.
As soon as you accept the request.
Things related to the ascension of the Spirit King came to mind.
Lloyd finished checking the message in a happy mood.
And he looked aside.
“Are you okay?”
A question that sounds like you’ve been waiting for it.
Xaviel was asking with his characteristic cool eyes.
Maybe this is what you’re worried about.
But he must be looking at me like that to hide it.
Lloyd laughed involuntarily and shrugged his shoulders.
“as you see.”
“Then, that spirit….”
“I absorbed it. Thanks to that, I became the spirit king of this mountain range.”
“….”
“Really.”
“….”
“Is it really?”
“….”
“If in doubt, let go and ask a question.”
“I am not particularly suspicious. Just-”
“Just?”
“It’s because I felt sorry for the spirits of this mountain range who had a person like Lloyd-sama as their king.”
“….”
“Now, the spirits here will also jump into the construction field. It will be rolled day and night while being treated with various construction equipment. They will be tempted by overtime pay and all, and thrown into the scene of harsh exploitation. It is clear even without looking.”
“….”
“Am I wrong?”
“huh. That’s what you’ve been through.”
“….”
“Except for your case, I am not a vicious business owner. So, we will start right now.”
“What are you starting out with?”
“What? If you’re going to subcontract to the spirits, you’ll have to acknowledge me first. At least take some discipline at the beginning of your appointment.”
“Are you holding the military discipline?”
“What is that?”
Lloyd smiled and turned around.
A vast mountain range that stretches down a steep cliff.
He said while looking around at the breathtaking scenery.
A temporary position as the spirit king of the mountain range that he obtained unexpectedly.
I was planning to make good use of it.
“All the spirits of this neighborhood, first come, first served, to try rolling first.”
