NOVEL NEXT Chapter 42.1
Even the elders were surprised by the fierce flames.
No, it wasn’t just a surprise.
They looked at the Holy Spirit with eyes that seemed to directly witness the destruction of humanity.
In this world, who would have thought that they would see such a thing with their own eyes!
“That Holy Spirit summoning circle! Isn’t that the King of the Holy Spirits!”
There was no mistake.
The appearance, the magnitude of power, everything about him was exactly like the characteristics of the highest-ranking Holy Spirit that appeared only once in the past during the Great War against the demons.
Even for the Pope or high-ranking priest, it was a rare existence that they might see once in a lifetime.
The problem was that this guy wasn’t friendly to humans.
As evidence, just look at how he got angry as soon as he was summoned!
Roar!
“Cough!”
The flames of the Holy Spirit split and cracked the pillars throughout with golden patterns.
The elders were so startled that they looked at the family head.
“Master! Even if you’re like that, to summon a king-level! You’re going too far! Do you intend to burn down the Eshua Duchy!”
“It’s unfair. I didn’t summon it.”
“Yes?!”
“The one who summoned it is that child.”
What?
The child, seriously, was he talking about Isaac?
“What’s going on… Wait… Avoid it! Ah!”
Crackle!
Terrifying flames shot up to the ceiling.
Whisper cheered in delight at the fierce flames.
[Oh oh! Isn’t it necessary to have talent to summon a higher-level being? Coming to pull the collar of a king-level being, truly, master! You’re amazing!]
Whisper was delighted, but Isaac, on the other hand, looked utterly dumbfounded.
No. This is crazy.
Why summon a king-level being!
Of course, Isaac knew.
No matter which ball you choose, you can obtain a Holy Spirit.
Because this guy, the head of the family, had drawn the ‘Holy Spirit Summoning Circle’ on all the balls.
‘He was testing me to see if what happened in the Treasure Vault was Shuri’s doing or not.’
There were three summoning circles, but among them, two were ‘one-time’ contract summoning circles.
They were like mercenaries that disappear once summoned.
‘They’re not even that good.’
So the correct answer was fire.
Although there were three summoning circles, there was only one ‘subordination’ summoning circle.
And only the Holy Spirit summoned with that circle could be contracted.
In other words, it was a test of insight.
But do you think the Demon King, whom even the great magicians tried to learn from, wouldn’t feel anything like that?
‘Even if you choose any of them, it’s in the realm of magic. You, rascal.’
In any case, it was the Holy Spirit that even the gods paid for and always brought along for
The higher the rank, the better, but isn’t he still a baby?
‘For now, intermediate or low level is enough.’
So, Isaac, who decided to be modest, poured additional energy into the summoning circle.
Then, at least it would surely lift to an intermediate level… but well, it’s not just an intermediate?
King-level?!
Isaac could only be bewildered.
‘No, dammit! If it went up to this level, what the hell would be summoned if I go all out!’
Could it be possible to summon a God like the Pope, that crazy saint-bodied bastard?!
Of course, if someone like that is really summoned, you will get double insults, so let it be.
On the other hand, the elders’ eyes had completely changed.
“Is there a precedent for a king-level being appearing through a contract summoning circle?”
“Well, um… I’m not sure… The child of the White Faith and the child of the Pope summoned one during the founding ceremony, but…”
“Huh! Is that the same as summoning a lower-level being with a dependent contract summoning circle? Can you keep a lower god in the family!”
“But did that kid summon it?”
“Are you saying what happened in the Treasure Vault weren’t Shuri’s doing?”
“…!”
Elders, stop staring. Your eyeballs will fall out.
Anyway, yeah.
I know very well that he is such a guy that people are freaked out.
But how to sign a contract with a guy like him?
[It’s simple.]
What?
[Beat him.]
It’s nice and easy to understand.
[Is there any difference in the way of making subordinates in any faction? The gods may know the detailed method, but why care.]
That’s right.
Well, it looks like this side will explode if you beat it up.
“Wow!”
“Elder!”
As expected, the Holy Spirit grabbed the elder’s neck and threw him away.
[These guys have no manners. Those who don’t even have blood on their heads dare to use the sacred technique in front of me?]
“Elder, are you okay!”
“Ugh, I was going to put up a barrier on the temple to stop the collapse…!”
[Who are you to stop me from destroying it? Do you want to die?]
Heh. Is that a Holy Spirit or a demon?
For some reason, the family head was staring intently at Isaac, but it seemed that the summoned Holy Spirit’s temperament wasn’t very pleasant.
But, does it matter now?
[Master! Is this fire by any chance…!]
Yes.
‘This is the fire of
It’s the fire that exorcises demons.
Whisper, a pure magical being, reacted first.
However, Isaac, looking at the flames, was laughing with both hands raised.
Why?
‘That’s a rare one.’
He had seen so many in the divine realm.
Well, because they treated him like a fool, he had thrown dung (?) at their food a few times.
Anyway, among the Holy Spirits, there was a rare one.
And for a common demon, they would panic and run away from such a flame, but well?
[Wouldn’t it be a great help if you were its owner?]
Exactly!
As expected, he catches on quickly!
That’s it!
The reason why the holy faction is crazy about Holy Spirits with the
And what is the most important pre-work to reach
Pureness!
Whether it’s holy power or magical power, the purer it is, the stronger it becomes, so purifying impurities is essential!
So there were some dirty magical powers that had to be discarded, which was a bit regrettable, but with this guy?
‘Can’t we just convert useless magical power into holy power?’
Isn’t this perfect recycling?
Anyway, if magical power is a spear, holy power is a shield!
If you want to defeat the gods and eat them, you need strong holy power too.
[Not only that! That guy is fire, so he can only burn impurities! Moreover, depending on how you use it, you can consume even the mana that you would have normally discarded!]
That’s right! In the rarely drawn unique attribute, and even at the king-level!
In other words, if they don’t capture that guy right here, it’s foolishness!
There’s no way he’d come out with a rank like his with the
Yes, exactly!
Even if he wasn’t on good terms with the gods, he would have taken him as a henchman a long time ago, damn it!
‘That guy cannot be contracted.’
Isaac clenched his fists as if he was going to regret it to death.
In fact, there was nothing he could do about it.
‘Because all king-level spirits are connected to the divine realm!’
The Holy Spirit is the representative force of the holy faction!
The lower the rank, the closer to humans, but the higher the rank, the closer to the divine realm.
And a henchman, that fellow, is messing around with enemies and making trouble?
You’ll be furious, right?
Moreover, that henchman introduces his cheerful friend and brings the gods with him, saying it’s an introduction?
You’ll be mad, right?!
Above all, Isaac had never thought of getting involved with the gods until it was good for him.
So he couldn’t help but sigh.
‘It’s a waste of ability, but there’s nothing I can do now.’
As long as that guy is close to the divine realm, as much as it’s a waste, asking to change to a lower rank for now is…
“Oh my, Master! Quickly send him back! Now that I think about it, isn’t that the guy even the gods cut ties with!”
At the elder’s words, Isaac’s head turned sharply.
What? Cut ties?
Did they say now that guy cut ties with gods?
