Chapter 578
Raon narrowed his eyes as he looked at Ras, who was floating blankly.
‘That top-level spirit. ‘Is it because of you that I did that?’
-huh?
Lars scratched his chubby belly and tilted his head. The guy looked blankly at the stunned Supreme Spirit and then clapped his hands loudly.
-That’s right! That bird must have shrunk like that because it was tired of the majesty of its king!
‘….’
Looking at Lars’ reaction, I realized that he did not reveal his presence of his own volition. It was clear that the highest level spirit felt something about Ras on his own.
-Spirits are the closest beings to nature, so it is no wonder that they feel the majesty of the main king!
Lars giggled, saying that there was finally someone who recognized him.
‘Have you ever been to the spirit world?’
-It was quite a while ago, but I went there.
‘Then have you ever tried eating a spirit?’
-Why are you asking the obvious? It was chewy and delicious.
Lars said it was a special meal and whetted his appetite.
-The green spirit tastes like green grapes and the red spirit tastes like strawberry.
‘I wasn’t curious about the taste of spirits!’
Raon bit his lip and pressed his temples.
‘It’s because of that!’
Apparently, that top-level spirit remembered Ras, who had eaten the spirits, and seemed to be so frightened.
‘If I do this, there is no answer…’
I heard that the spirit and the summoner share some level of communication, even if it is not a conversation.
If the highest level spirit even brings up a story about the Demon King, the lives of everyone here will be in danger.
-That can’t be possible. Since the Spirit King of Fire and the Spirit King of Water were gone when they were in the Spirit World, a young guy like that wouldn’t have even met the real King.
Ras shook his head, thinking that the highest level spirit would not have seen him.
-That’s just surrender to the King’s presence itself!
The guy laughed and told me to praise him.
‘That would be nice, but we have to prepare for the worst. The moment the story about the Demon King comes out…’
You have to cut down all the elves.
It was a pity for Rimmer, but if he brought up the story about the Demon King, he had no choice but to kill everyone.
Raon tightly grasped the hilt of the Jecheon Sword and bent his knees. As I was preparing to jump out at any time, I raised my head at Erian.
“what?”
He looked at Raon and widened his eyes in disbelief.
‘Have you been caught?’
The moment he bit his lip and was about to step on the Taehwabo, Erian’s mouth opened again.
“The Great One above?”
He muttered that he was not a demon lord, but a great being, and his chin trembled.
“uh…?”
Raon was about to rush out, but stopped and opened his eyes.
‘what?’
A great being?
I thought they were going to say he was a demon lord, but suddenly the word great being came out and I was even more embarrassed.
“Could it be that the great being refers to the Spirit King?”
Wow.
The Supreme Spirit of Wind shook his head lowly. It seemed like he didn’t really know either.
“Uh…”
Erian lifted his trembling chin and the hand holding the sword trembled.
“human! Could it be that you made a contract with the Spirit King?”
Even though he was asking the question, his eyes were wide as if he couldn’t believe it.
“….”
Raon blinked his eyes blankly as he looked at Erian.
‘What nonsense…’
My mouth fell open because I couldn’t understand the situation.
“You mean the Spirit King?”
Rayran, who was waiting behind him, answered the astonished question.
“I can’t sense any spirit energy from that human being.”
“That’s why he is the Spirit King! The Spirit King is a being beyond the status of a spirit! “No wonder we can’t feel that energy!”
“It can’t be. “The two remaining Spirit Kings are unable to go outside because they are maintaining the Spirit World.”
“Then he must be the newly born Spirit King. “The spirit of fire or water who will soon become king has that human in mind!”
“That makes no sense…”
“Why does it make no sense? “Do not judge great people with your small head.”
Rayran shook his head in disbelief, but Erian pursed his lips as if he was already convinced of his thoughts.
“When did you make a contract with the Spirit King? “After all, he is my student!”
Rimmer blinked and approached. I don’t know why this person is fooled.
“The Spirit King! Is it fire? “Is it water?”
Dorian snorted in excitement and asked whether it was the Spirit King of Fire or the Spirit of Water.
“I don’t think so…”
Yua was the only one who tilted her head as if it was strange.
-These crazy people!
Lars flew forward and screamed.
-How dare you compare the real king with a spirit or something! Are you crazy because you want to rummage around!
Kieee….
As the guy went wild and started a riot, the Supreme Spirit was even more shocked and slammed his head into the ground with his eyes closed.
Raon took a breath as he looked at the dizzy situation.
‘I have a general idea now.’
It was clear that the highest-level spirit did not remember Ras, who had run amok in the demon world, but felt Ras’ extreme coldness and extra-standard spirit, and considered him a great being.
It seemed like it happened because spirits were the closest beings to nature.
‘It’s not the worst, but it’s not good either.’
The worst was avoided simply because it was not revealed that he was working with the Demon King, but being known as a contractor of the Spirit King was not a good thing.
“Huh…”
Raon let out a short breath and shook his head.
“I am not a contractor of the Spirit King. It’s my first time seeing a spirit, so I’m kind of mistaken…”
“That’s it!”
Erian nodded quickly as if he had caught it.
“Originally, the Spirit King does not make contracts with those who have made contracts with other spirits. “It is clear that someone who is ready to become a new king is watching you!”
He chewed his lip, thinking that the Spirit King would soon speak to him. He seemed to be lost in his own world and did not listen to others.
“He’s a guy who lives in his own world, so he doesn’t listen to what other people say.”
Rimmer waved his hand, saying he had felt it since the first time he saw Erian.
“I guess so…”
Raon chewed his lips.
‘I’m going crazy…’
I was so dumbfounded that I laughed out loud and remembered what Lars said a little while ago.
‘But what do you mean there is no fire spirit king and water spirit king?’
-You don’t know? It’s been a while since those two disappeared from the spirit world.
Lars nodded calmly.
‘why?’
-They say the two fell together in a life-or-death struggle, but I don’t know if it’s true.
The guy waved his hand, saying he wasn’t interested in those who were weaker than him.
‘Can the spirit world be maintained without a spirit king?’
-Because the Spirit King of Earth and Wind is bleeding. Plus, there’s another guy in there.
‘Someone else?’
Just as he was about to ask who it was, Erian’s mouth opened again.
“We can’t have a human being contracting with the Spirit King like this.”
Erian sheathed the sword and sent even the highest level spirit of wind back to the spirit world.
“Follow me.”
He waved his hand to enter Seifia.
“What are you saying?”
Raylan blocked the path with the hand holding the bow.
“Even if that person is truly a contractor of the Spirit King, he must not be brought into Seifia now.”
She shook her head, saying that it was impossible to bring in an outside person at this important time.
“This is the Spirit King’s contract that came out after hundreds of years. Plus…”
Erian frowned as he looked at Rimmer.
“It is right to take him now to deal with that guy.”
“But…”
“I take responsibility.”
He was convinced that Raon was indeed the Spirit King’s contractor and motioned for Raon to follow him.
“After all, I’m a good student.”
Rimmer grinned and patted my shoulder as if he was glad we didn’t fight.
Raon looked at Rimmer and held his forehead.
‘This is not the time to laugh. ‘You burn!’
* * *
“Hmm….”
The red-haired elf, who had thin traces of age on her face, smoothed her chin.
“The guy who left home is finally coming back.”
“yes?”
The female elf who was hiding under the blanket with only her head sticking out lifted her head slightly. Blonde hair that looked like molten platinum flowed softly like spring water.
“Who is coming?”
Her red lips trembled not as if she was interested, but as if she was worried.
“Your brother.”
“ah!”
The blonde elf pricked up his ears like a rabbit. But her upper body still did not come out from under the blanket.
“Are you serious?”
“okay. However, it seems like his temperament has changed a little.”
The red-haired elf looked at the female elf with a faint smile.
“Siyan. “Why don’t you meet your brother?”
“Ah…”
The female elf called Shiyan slowly moved her legs and got into the blanket like a turtle.
“I’m embarrassed.”
“Why are you embarrassed when you meet your family for the first time in a long time?”
“A lot of time has passed….”
“Family is not something that can be measured by time.”
The red-haired elf stroked Siyan’s head and shook her head.
“hmm? “Three humans are coming too.”
“This human?”
“You are very strong. “You may still be young, but you have incredible talent to be a Grand Master.”
The red-haired elf let out an exclamation as if he was truly impressed.
“How do you feel? “Why don’t you go together too?”
“….”
Shiyan did not respond to the red-faced elf’s words, but only twitched his eyes under the blanket.
“I’ll stay here…”
“Huh…”
The red-haired elf let out a short sigh and raised his gaze. The wrinkles around his eyes trembled slightly.
“Siyan. “There isn’t much time left now.”
“….”
“I may be able to do it this time, but I really may not be able to do it next time. “You better prepare your mind.”
“Ah, I get it.”
Siyan’s voice came out from under the blanket.
“okay. “Then I’ll go out.”
The red-haired elf lightly waved his hand and left the room.
“….”
Shi Yan was still hiding under the blanket and didn’t even make a sound. It was only after she heard the red-haired elf leaving this place that she pulled up the blanket and came out.
“sorry. But I also didn’t want to be born as a high elf.”
Shi Yan sighed and shook his head.
“And I’m worse than an ordinary elf, so I can’t do anything…”
She lowered her shoulders and held the booklet lying on the bed in her hands.
Siyan muttered that she wanted to live a normal life and opened the book. The name of Raon Sieghardt was engraved on the cover of a book that looked new and neat.
“I also want to become Raon Sieghart….”
* * *
Raon followed Erian and narrowed his eyes.
‘This looks like a real elf.’
Unlike Rimmer, Erian was opening a path in the forest just by walking.
Rimmer was superior in terms of force itself, but his natural affinity seemed to be higher.
When I turned my eyes to the stinging gaze coming from the side, I saw Leiran openly fixating my gaze.
The look in your eyes was filled with doubt as if you could really become the Spirit King’s contractor.
“Why are you looking at me like that?
Raon looked at Rayran and waved his hand awkwardly.
“sorry. “It was rude to stare at humans.”
Leiran said he had made a mistake and bowed his head politely.
“But being the Spirit King’s contractor is really….”
“Didn’t I say that’s true?”
Erian looked back at Rayran and frowned.
“Do you not believe me?”
“It’s hard to believe this.”
As expected from an elf, Rayran literally said that it was difficult to trust his superiors.
“joy. You will find out later. “Who is right?”
-That’s your answer.
Ras gritted his teeth as he glared at Erian.
‘Answer me?’
-Because the answer is fixed. All you have to do is answer. He is an old man himself!
The more he looked at the guy, the more annoyed he became and his clenched fists were shaking.
“Yes. “You’ll find out later.”
Rayran bowed her head to Raon as if she had been rude.
“it’s okay.”
Raon shook his head and frowned.
‘driving me crazy. ‘How should I resolve this misunderstanding?’
– Bring down the main king immediately!
Lars patted his chest and said he would solve the problem.
-If we freeze all the elves here alive, there will be no one who compares the main king to spirits or anything like that in the future!
The guy let out a cruel laugh, saying he would turn all existing elves into ice statues.
‘Because my head is complicated right now. At least you stay still.’
-I don’t like it! Hand over yourself!
‘Just go in!’
Erian’s steps stopped as Raon pushed Lars into the bracelet.
“This is Seipia.”
As I lifted my gaze following his words, a world full of green vegetation filled my eyes.
The golden sunlight coming down from the sky gave life to the trees and grass, making it seem like I was seeing a world that was not necessarily reality.
There were many trees and bushes, similar to a major forest, but the road was open, so it didn’t feel crowded or stuffy.
‘Are we living in trees?’
The elves seemed to live inside the trees like squirrels.
However, perhaps because it is a place where humans also come and go, there were buildings that seemed to have been touched by human hands one by one.
‘There is a reason why mana is of high purity.’
Because the elves live a symbiotic life without damaging nature, the mana concentration here seemed to be much thicker than outside.
‘I can’t see the World Tree.’
Perhaps because it was hidden behind a barrier, the huge tree that was said to reach the sky was not noticeable.
“Ah…”
“Wow!”
Dorian blinked in surprise, and Yua burst into laughter at the smell of rich mana.
Raon looked inside Seifia and savored his appetite.
‘There’s no one.’
I heard that there were a few people coming and going in Seifia, but now I couldn’t see any humans.
Rayran said there was something important inside Seifia, and it seemed like that was the reason.
“This place is the same.”
Rimmer looked at the panoramic view of Seifia, his eyes filled with longing.
“You seem to have changed a lot.”
Erian frowned at Rimmer.
“Because the world is constantly changing.”
Rimmer faced Erian’s fierce eyes and smiled.
“Please continue guiding.”
“Unlucky guy.”
Erian twisted his mouth and entered Seifia.
“hmm?”
“…Rimer?”
“that’s right. “It’s Rimmer.”
“Are you finally back?”
The elves inside Seifia recognized Rimmer and widened their eyes. No one was very surprised, perhaps because it was a characteristic of elves, but they clearly recognized Rimmer.
“Isn’t he dead?”
“It looks like my right arm was cut off…”
“They said you ran away because of the sword. Why did you come back?”
“Hmm. Is it because of that?”
“But Rimmer is not a high elf.”
“What are humans again? Why now…”
The elves stopped walking, looked at Rimmer, and carefully parted their lips.
“long time no see! How is everyone?”
Rimmer waved his hand coolly at the elves.
“Why are you doing that?”
“Like some kind of person…”
“How could the noble Rimaire speak in such a way…”
“The clothes are also strange.”
“Has it been contaminated by humans?”
The elves trembled under their eyes as if embarrassed by Rimmer’s frivolous tone.
They seemed more surprised by Rimmer’s tone than by the fact that his arm had fallen off.
Raon frowned as he looked at Rimmer’s back.
‘This elf. ‘How on earth have you been living?’
Looking at the reactions of the elves, it seems that Rimmer was really calm before. Rimmer’s personality became increasingly unpredictable.
“I will go to Master Sterin. “You better be prepared.”
Erian glared at Rimmer with cold eyes and walked faster.
“What are your resolutions?”
Rimmer snorted and followed Erian.
‘Sterin…’
Probably a high elf.
Sterin is an elf who Rimmer said was the leader of Seifia. I was curious about how much force it would have and what kind of spirit it would be able to summon.
As we followed Erian, the road became narrower and the number of elves we encountered decreased.
When I went to the human leader, it was amazing because the road became more colorful and there were more people.
“This is the place.”
He stopped in front of a large cottonwood tree with an old door stuck into it. Although the tree was quite large, it was hard to believe that the leader of a tribe lived in a place like this.
“Don’t be frivolous and be polite.”
Erian swept the hilt of his sword as if he was going to kill him if he spoke nonsense.
“No. don’t worry.”
Rimmer waved his hand as if to hurry up and go in.
smart.
Erian clicked his tongue and knocked on the door attached to the tree.
“Guardian. From outside…”
“Come in.”
Before he could explain the situation, a low voice came from inside the tree. It was a pure voice that seemed to put my body and mind at ease.
“yes.”
Erian carefully opened the door and went inside. The inside was larger than it looked from the outside, but it was simpler than expected and did not look like a place where the guardian of the race lived.
However, since the race was elves, it was understandable.
A red-haired elf was lying down on a rocking chair that seemed to be made of vines. The elf, whose sunken eyes somewhat resembled Rimmer’s, raised his upper body, creating wrinkles around his eyes.
‘Is this man the guardian of the elves?’
Although he is in the same area as Glenn and Seonggeomryeonju, his temperament is completely different.
Unlike the other two who revealed themselves to the world, this elf was assimilating himself to the world.
It seemed like he had achieved an unrivaled level of capturing nature in his body and mind.
“Rimer. It’s very late…”
Sterin looked at Rimmer with a faint smile.
“grandfather!”
Rimmer ran to Sterin and hugged him tightly.
“uh? Rimmer?”
Stelin’s chin trembled as if he was embarrassed by Rimmer’s sudden embrace.
‘Was that person even the leader’s bloodline?’
Raon also opened his mouth in embarrassment.
“You crazy guy!”
Erian frowned as he forcibly removed Rimmer.
“This guy’s return is not important now. The Spirit King’s contractor who disappeared has appeared!”
He pushed Rimmer back and pointed at Raon.
“You guys…”
Sterin frowned as he looked at Rimmer and Erian in turn.
“Have you heard Satan?”
