Episode 13. Legacy of the First Hero (4)
Qua Kwa Kwa Kwa Kwa!
Maria throws a sphere of fire into a glacial cliff. The moment the flames hit it caused an explosion and one side collapsed.
In the process, Maria stopped the spirits from losing their balance and falling to the ground with wind magic, and brought them to us.
I look at the spirits rolling on the floor helplessly.
Small body, less than 1 meter tall.
It was a humanoid figure, but its skin was blue, and blue ice crystals were embedded everywhere. As if replacing clothes with ice, the important parts were covered.
The other spirits were also of the same size and humanoid, but if there was a difference, they might have made a dress out of water.
Approaching Frosts and Nymphs. Currently, there was no threat because Maria had bound her with wind magic.
“Then I will take care of it.”
Ha ha, Iris breathed on the back of her sword and was about to raise her sword high.
Pacan!
She quickly breaks the ice that approaches behind her.
“After… …. I will deal with them first.”
“Sleep—”
When I reached out, I was already running towards the cliff. Looking at Iris, who had become a dot in less than a few seconds, she let out a sigh.
I felt like I had no choice but to believe it.
“I’ll be back too!”
Leaving those words behind, Tina also disappears.
No, why are you going…….
It wasn’t long before one of the cliffs collapsed, sending a completely shattered ice wall to pieces.
…… You’ll be fine, what
I crouched down at eye level with the captive spirits.
“… ….”
I made eye contact for a while and observed it quietly.
There was only one conclusion after looking at it for a long time.
Very cute.
It was so cute that I couldn’t see it through the illustration in the game.
Of course, the spirits must have been frightened by my gaze, but they were afraid.
“Say, save me—”
“…… You guys have a lot of trouble.”
“?”
I patted the shoulders of the spirits closest to me and said.
At my words, Maria and the spirits tilted their heads at the same time. The spirits were dazed and only blinked their eyes.
Isn’t it hard because of the upper part? I’ll definitely beat that damn bastard. By the warriors
The spirits looked at each other with bewildered faces. I got up on my knees.
“Maria, release me.”
“Yes? Are you okay?”
“It’s okay.”
Maria looked suspiciously at my words and snapped her fingers. Then, the immobilized spirits began to move their bodies one by one.
Look at each other and then look at me. It was strange to release the being that attacked him.
“It’s not just about letting go. Guide me. To the place where the yeti is.”
“…… Get to know Seo Rin!”
Someone in the group of spirits shouted. It was a very short pronunciation.
I looked at the group of spirits.
They were looking at me and their eyes were shining. I don’t know, but it felt like I was expecting a lot.
“Uh… what?”
“Do you know Seo Rin?”
“I know.”
Wow!
A voice of admiration broke out among the spirits.
“Saramie who knows Seorin is a warrior!”
“That mana! Like a hero, so much mana!”
One of the nymphs shouts with her short arms in a circle. The spirits who watched it smiled and followed suit.
As I laughed at the whole group following along like surfing, a question suddenly came to my mind.
It was that the spirits let their guard down without even having a few words of conversation.
I’ve never been so easily solved in a game…….
I don’t know what happened, but if the spirits were friendly, I could just use it.
“Yes… …. Got it…….”
“Are you a warrior?”
“…… Warrior?”
“Yes! Warrior! The hero says he knows Seo Rin!”
He nodded and held her hands tightly. It’s hard to have such expectations. ‘Cause I’m not a warrior
“Huh. You know about the spirit that attacked Master. Who is this person As you said, this person here is the hero who single-handedly defeated the black dragon!”
You introduce me very solemnly, Maria.
I am so grateful that I have tears in my eyes.
“Wow! Your future, the hero!”
“The hero, Niimi, appears after four hundred years!”
Aren’t you guys too noisy?
And can you pronounce it properly? Sounds like a padlip.
Quang!
An explosion occurs again on one side. The ice wall collapses. I felt like I had to dry them first.
“Maria.”
“Yes, Master.”
“Tell those two to stop. Bring all the fainted or injured spirits and the subdued spirits here.”
“Okay.”
Seeing Maria leave, she let out a sigh. I don’t know how many times she exhales. Perhaps it would have been better to come alone with Maria.
…… No. There is nothing you can do about the contract.
I see the spirits around me again. They were all around me.
“…… What?”
“Be strong!”
“Kind!”
“The hero is sure!”
“Let’s go! Be sure!”
Heh heh. They are foolish spirits.
Seeing how they make their own judgments, it seemed like they couldn’t be trusted from the point of view of the spirit king. Just like Tina.
“Let’s go for now.”
As I move, they follow me like a flock of penguins. One of the nymphs standing next to me tugged at her sleeves.
“What is it?”
“Hero, why are you here?”
“I have come to speak with your king.”
“Niad is busy. I can’t meet you.”
Naiad.
It was the name of the water spirit king.
To briefly describe him, we can say that he is a suspicious patient who only suspects others until he opens his heart.
In other words, once he started clearing up his doubts, he could be said to be a genuinely helpful person no matter what.
From noble mtl dot com
It wasn’t for nothing that Ariel had a hard time becoming friends.
“That is not up to you. You just need to guide.”
“Don’t worry… …. King, when I get angry, I get scared.”
“If you get mad at me, I will beat you up.”
I have no intention of actually hitting it. I have no intention of fighting.
It was necessary to maintain a friendly relationship with the King of Spirits under any circumstances.
Besides, I wasn’t brave enough to touch him, who could use 9th tier magic even though he only had the water attribute.
“Don’t hit me! Naiad-nim is precious!”
“…… That’s what it says.”
By the time she approached the ice wall while talking in detail, Maria was bringing her spirits.
From behind, Iris, who was still in a straight face, and Tina, who was smiling mischievously, were walking.
“Did you take care of everything?”
Although the spirits that came with them all slumped, they didn’t look dead. Surprisingly, my words followed.
“Yes. I don’t feel any presence around here. Then what are you going to do with these spirits?”
Look around.
The view, which had been beautiful just a moment ago, was horribly shattered. Did I really have to do this…… ?
“Iris, why are you angry?”
“…… I really want to ask. Didn’t you try to kill Master? Why are you trying to save me?”
“Because this is a test.”
I told you earlier that I had to meet the water spirit king.
“Exam…… ?”
“Isn’t it?”
I turned to the spirits and said. Then, the spirits hop and jump, and clap their hands.
“Wow! The hero is amazing!”
“This is the King’s test!”
As I looked at Iris and shrugged her shoulders, she blinked her eyes and began to assess her situation.
Seeing the unexpected reactions of the spirits and my nonchalant appearance, she removed her hand from her sword and was blatantly relieved.
“…… Was it like that?”
“Then Master, what are you going to do now?”
Maria asked, pointing to the uncontrolled spirits.
“…… I’ll have to ask for directions first.”
The Yeti is in a place where the spirit’s help is absolutely necessary.
* * *
The place where I was guided by the chatty spirits was in the middle of a huge canyon.
“Hey, hold my hand!”
The spirits grab it before they even reach out. Half way forced. The moment I took a few steps, my view changed with an unknown sense of heterogeneity.
The first thing I saw in front of me was a human-shaped piece of ice that was well over 7 meters tall. It was sitting on an ice chair and looking down at us.
“Is this a spirit portal?”
The spirit portal can be said to be a fixed teleport magic that can change its location depending on the destination guided by the spirit.
Because of this, the head of the Magic Guild was unable to investigate.
“That’s Seorin!”
The nymph who led me is pointing.
It was a size that really felt a sense of distance from the name. It’s not even a name in the first place.
But look at the fact that it doesn’t happen even after we see it. I know this is cheating in the game.
“By the way… ….”
I didn’t expect to take you to the boss from the beginning.
The first test is against a weak lower spirit, proving benevolence rather than strength.
In the second test, I was able to meet the yeti only after proving my strength by dueling with intermediate and named spirits.
However, I was a bit puzzled that the second step was omitted.
“Is it right for you to bring us here?”
“Oh Mata! They told me to bring them to Undine-sama!”
As one spirit screamed and grabbed the head, the other spirits grabbed their heads as well. Are you a comedian?
“… ….”
Yeah, what. It’s nice to be able to skip the middle process.
“All right. Because if no one tells you, you won’t know. Stop and see.”
“See more of the hero and sipper!”
“…… Be still.”
“Yes!”
I took a few steps forward, and the yeti stood up as if he had waited.
“It’s been a while since a creature has visited this place. I never thought I could even assimilate a lower spirit. Huhu, the candidates for the hero are different. This one goes.”
“Stop talking nonsense. I have to meet Naiad. Guide us there.”
I boldly took a step forward and said.
“Whoops, you are full of confidence! After defeating the named spirit, Jack Frost, and the intermediate spirits, Undine and Flow, is it worth it!”
I haven’t even looked at the face.
“…… Yes.”
Still, they lie. If you said you didn’t fight for nothing, you could tell me to come and fight.
“Where! Are you lying?! I heard the story a little while ago!”
f*ck. I know, but don’t think about it.
“Hmmm. Anyway, so I personally called them here.”
The moment he finished speaking, a stream of water rose from the ground to his right, and Undine, a mature woman, appeared. She also looked like slime in the shape of a female body.
On the other side, the ice rose up to reveal Jack Frost, a man wearing an ice cap, and Flow, who was at one with the ice. To be precise, Flow’s lower body was attached to the ground.
“Now then, the test… No, I will start the ordeal.”
Don’t say it’s a test…….
In the end, it seemed wrong to omit it.
“Kids, get ready.”
“I will leave the yeti to you.”
“?”
Iris drew her sword.
“Master, finish it in one shot.”
“??”
Tina smiles and winks.
“Let’s go.”
“???”
Fire shoots out of Maria’s hand.
No, you guys have to deal with it, right?
Before I could even speak, I sighed as I watched the warriors rushing at the mid-level spirits.
I’m going crazy.
