They all died not long ago…

That's what we believed as well, but it wasn't the case. During the Great War, many Spirit Kings perished while fighting against the Chernobog when they invaded Spirit World. I'm ashamed to say this, but I am the strongest of the remaining metal spirits.

'Again.'

'Well, I guess I should be glad I was born in this age? If I had been alive during those times, I would have been swept away by the war regardless of where I was in the universe.'

19 of the 22 Spirit Kings died. The Spirit God exercised his power afterward to elevate five first-tier spirits to Spirit Kings, but...

It was pure madness. The whole spirit world was in danger of being destroyed.

Flash!

What's with this ridiculous energy… Ah! You surprised me!"

Whoa, what is this? What's with this spiritual pressure? What's wrong with him? The elemental affinity is incredible, but I can't even get within ten steps of him. Pink Pink. What's with this person?

Well, actually, I don't know either. I think he's a member of the godly tribes. Excuse me, what's your name?

Ah, Dae-ha-nim. This is Elaika. He's a first-tier lightning spirit.

Do you think it's possible?

Yes. Well, it's not something that's unheard of.

I think you possess an aptitude for more than one element. Both metal and lightning. But metal elemental summoners are quite rare.

Yes, that's how it is. Most people born with the metal and lightning attributes tend to be very combative, so they usually end up as martial artists. Well, contracting with spirits isn't limited to spirits sharing the same attribute as the human, so there are quite a few summoners who contracted with metal spirits, but less than 0.1% of all summoners possess the metal attribute.

Boom!

Cases like this are especially rare. From the moment you entered the spirit world, you caused such a large commotion. I could search the entire history of the spirit world and…

Boom!

What? What are you talking about?

Boom!

Kyah! The Spirit God looked at me!

No. God was looking at a well-grown tree.

The Spirit God smiled at me!

No, God was smiling at a flower!

Are you all right, Captain-nim?

W, what in the world? The Spirit God? Why would such a figure suddenly…

You are amazing! To think the Spirit God would come meet you in person! The Spirit God is equivalent in rank to Primordial Gods!

Wow, I almost went into hiding. Even Zeus won't be able to hold a candle to that guy either.

That could have never happened. It's something that one would only hear about as a myth or a legend. There are some records of sightings left by the great elemental summoners in the past, but this is probably the first time in the empire's history that someone observed the Spirit King directly.

But what a ridiculous happening. It's not like we just finished an epic journey or anything. We aren't even in some kind of secret space. All we did was enter the Spirit World, and it showed up. Even dogs and cows could come to this place.

Oh, anyway.

Are you okay?

Huh? I think I've seen this before… Right. Pink Pink, isn't this a Unique Field?

Huh? That's a power that even the Great Elemental Summoners struggle to imitate. The ones that possess the spatial attribute to boot. No, in the first place, why did he suddenly develop such an ability?

Was it bestowed by the Spirit God? But why?

Moreover, that's an ability that can't be invoked unless he signs a contract with a high-ranked spirit… Is the Spirit God giving us a revelation to sign a contract with him?

But how are we supposed to sign a contract with him when we can't even get close to him?

Hey, Dae-ha, are you okay? I think there's something like a dimensional fracture.

Ah!

Oh! That's right! That's a spirit right there! Moreover, it seems pretty high-ranked as well! If it's that spirit, he would be able to activate a Unique Field!

Oh, yes! That strange spirit, his compatibility with this man is on the level of a heavenly king!

Besides, this spirit has both metal and lightning attributes. Was there really a need for him to come to the spirit world?

What are these spirits talking about? Why am I a spirit?

Huh? A spirit is a spirit, why are you asking such a stupid question?

You are obviously a spirit.

I am Ares!! I'm not a measly spirit!

Know that you are in the presence of the God of War! I am a God with a Divine Spirit!

What is he talking about?

I don't know. He must be out of his mind.
