Chapter 219: The World Of Spirits And Humans: Arulia (2)
All the spirits had vanished, leaving only humans behind when Taesan waved his hand.
“Hello?”
Those who had been staring blankly at him nodded, somewhat reciprocally.
“Ah. Yes. Hello...
“Where are you heading?”
“To the Burunian Plains...
“Can I come along?”
“Ah, yes.”
They answered unconsciously.
Taesan climbed onto the roof of their carriage. They hurriedly finished their preparations and set off again.
Taesan quietly closed his eyes atop the moving carriage.
Whispers could be heard inside the carriage. They were trying to speak quietly so as not to be heard, but Taesan could hear everything.
“Who is that person...?”
“I don’t know...
“Then why did you agree?”
“I, I don’t know. Don’t ask. You nodded too.”
“That was because I was momentarily surprised. What did he do?”
“...He blew up a spirit with his bare hands. And it was a lower ranked spirit at that.”
A gulp could be heard.
“Have you ever heard of such a person?”
“No...”
“I didn’t even know spirits could be physically de-summoned.”
They whispered among themselves. The conversation gradually shifted to why Taesan was with them and who he was.
“Ask him.”
“I, I’d rather not. How dare I speak to someone who can blow up spirits?”
“So you want to go with someone we know nothing about?”
Their discussion eventually led to deciding to talk to Taesan.
There, once again, the conversation moved to who would talk to him, and the person forcibly chosen opened the window with a terrified face.
“Excuse me...”
A woman with green hair leaned out of the window and spoke with a dying voice.
“Isn’t it uncomfortable there? Would you like to come in?”
“Let’s.”Rêạd new chapters at novelhall.com
Taesan agreed. He had been waiting for them to invite him.
He grabbed the wall of the carriage and squeezed his body through the window.
A small gasp could be heard. Taesan surveyed them one by one.
A group of two men and two women.
Judging by the exterior of the carriage and their attire, they did not seem to be commoners. They were adorned with necklaces bearing the same emblem.
‘Could they be from a noble family?’
“Excuse me...”
The woman with green hair spoke hesitantly.
“I’m sorry. Our spirits are usually well-behaved... They just suddenly stopped following our commands.”
“It’s okay.”
If there was a problem, it lay with Taesan. He was, in essence, an adversary to the spirits.
“Having dispelled your spirits, does this mean you can’t summon them again?”
“No, that’s not the case. It was only summoned back; you can summon it again if you wish.”
“That’s a relief. It would have been regrettable if it had been completely destroyed.”
Upon hearing Taesan’s words, the woman with green hair swallowed. The question he asked was something anyone who lived a regular life would know.
“Do you, by any chance, not know much about spirits?”
“I don’t know the specifics. I’ve been secluded, practicing.”
Taesan grimaced as if he was exasperated. Although the expression was an act, since he was indeed trapped in the labyrinth, it wasn’t entirely false. Thus, the expression seemed quite genuine.
Taesan bore no hostility towards them. And they realized he was not a strange entity.
“If you’re unfamiliar with spirits, where have you been training?”
“In the depths of the mountains. I don’t know the exact location. I just desperately made my way out.”
The woman marveled.
Whether it would be useful or not was uncertain, but it represented a new power. It was worth exploring.
“A contract with a spirit?”
Surprise was evident on Akien’s puzzled face.
“Don’t tell me you haven’t made a contract?”
“I don’t know. I’ve been too busy training.”
“So you’ve been summoning spirits in reverse with just your physical body, without even using spirit enhancement?”
Akien’s face was full of admiration.
“How is that even possible?”
“Spirit enhancement?”
“Ah. I guess I have to start from there.”
Akien began to explain slowly.
“When you contract with a spirit, you can directly draw out and use the spirit’s power. It’s possible to enhance your body, albeit weakly.”
Blue power surged around Akien’s body. She threw a quick punch, and a gust of wind followed.
“Besides, there are many other benefits. Those who contract with the wind spirit can live without ever feeling too hot or cold, and those with the water spirit don’t have to worry about hydration even in the desert.”
“Sounds trivial.”
“Right? But it’s incredibly convenient. They say if you reach the level of a high spirit, you can create whirlwinds with a gesture. Honestly, I don’t know if that’s true.”
Naturally, the stronger the spirit, the more significant the difference in the power one could draw.
“And the most crucial thing is that you can summon the spirit itself to accompany you.”
“Like you guys did?”
“Yes. Spirits are generally stronger than ordinary humans. There are exceptions, but... that’s generally the case.”
She glanced at Taesan as she continued.
“When a summoned spirit is linked, you can support each other and further strengthen your power. The stronger the person contracted, the stronger the spirit becomes, and if the spirit is strong, the person also becomes stronger.”
“That sounds good.”
“So, a person who has contracted with a high spirit can even face a mid-level spirit alone. I thought you were one of those, Mr. Taesan.”
Akien spoke cautiously.
“Do you want to learn how to contract?”
Taesan nodded. Akien clapped her hands, pleased.
“Then I’ll teach you.”
“Is that okay?”
“You helped us, so this is the least I can do. It’s not hard.”
She spoke earnestly.
It was apparent what she wanted: to establish a good relationship with Taesan, who could subdue spirits with his bare body.
However, Akien’s hope would not be fulfilled. Taesan did not explicitly say so.
She rummaged through her belongings and took out a small transparent gem.
“To contract with a spirit, you first need to know what attribute you possess. Please, take this gem.”
Taesan took the gem. His energy was being absorbed into the gem.
“The color of the gem will change depending on what attribute you have, and the intensity of the color determines which spirit you can contract with. Just wait a moment, and it will change.”
She watched the gem with eager anticipation. Time passed.
“It’s not changing.”
The gem remained transparent.
Akien’s eyes wavered.
“Huh? Just a moment. Is this one defective?”
She took out another gem from her belongings. However, there was still no color change in the gem.
“Baan. You have a transparent gem, right? Can I borrow it?”
She borrowed gems from others and handed them to Taesan.
But there was no gem whose color changed.
After checking over ten gems, she scratched her cheek.
“Uh... this is the first time I’ve encountered this.”
“What happened?”
“Listen without being alarmed.”
She looked into Taesan’s face and spoke.
“The color of the gem changes based on the attribute a person has. If it’s fire, it turns red; if it’s water, it turns blue. That’s certain. Even darkness would tint it black. But if nothing changes, that means...”
Akien cautiously spoke.
“You don’t have any attributes. It means you can’t contract with a spirit.”
