Chapter 35 – Development (5)

From noble mtl dot com

The spirits are the powerful spirits of nature that have been with the elves since their origins.

In the past, elves were associated with almost all types of spirits. However, as time passed, the relationship between the elves and the spirits grew farther away.

In this day and age, spiritists are one of the few elves among elves. No one knew what caused it. It was only confirmed that the ability to communicate with the spirits decreased with each generation.

“It’s a spirit, it’s a spirit, Chief!”

That’s why everyone at the table opened their eyes wide in surprise.

The spark that came out the moment Serenian’s mana came into contact with her battery was obviously in the form of a primitive spirit.

No one knew the reason or principle. I was just shocked to see the reality unfolding in front of my eyes.

‘It came out because of my strength.’

Likewise, Serenian, who was frightened and froze, sensed that this bluish mass of thunderbolt was drawn by his own power.

The ability to communicate with the spirits, which was inscribed in the genes of the elves, but was not used and forgotten for a long time, has now awakened in her body.

‘They want me.’

She fixed her gaze and she involuntarily reached out her hand first.

Then this crackling mass of lightning also held out something as if reaching out a hand.

From the outside, it looks like you’ll get an electric shock the moment you touch it, but when the hands of the two beings touch. Serenian was not electrocuted.

“Sobbing?!”

Rather, the mass of electricity that rode through her hand and was sucked into her body at great speed reached her heart through her arm and began to spread throughout her body.

At the same time, crackling blue sparks flew around her body.

“Chief!”

The thrill that she felt for the first time in her life broke her legs and sat down on the ground, and the panicked elves came running.

But Serenian, her face somewhat pale, reached out her hand to reassure them.

“No problem.”

Losing her usual rhythm and drawing her breath to her wildly beating heart, she struggled to smile at her people, who looked down at her with her surprised eyes. She then looked at her hand.

Skinny white hands. When her heart was beating normally again, I focused my energy on it, and a blue spark crackled in her grasp again.

“I just signed a contract with the spirit…”

“Nonsense. It is the first time I have heard and seen such a spirit.”

Serenian instinctively noticed that she had harbored an elemental that had just popped out of her battery. She was the only one who surprised even the eldest of them, her jaw gaping.

The spirit that appeared just before was clearly different from any other spirit known so far.

“As you can see, the spirits have also changed over time. I learned a lot and grew up. The spirits of the present era, who have been active in cycles of life and dormancy, are those who spent their childhood with our ancestors.”

“I know.”

Once calmed down, Serenian talked to Garmin, an old warrior, and watched the elves change the battlebot’s battery under Ren’s command from one step behind.

While the elves worked together to move the batteries, Ren, who was hanging from the bottom of the Battlebot with a rope, was whimpering and unscrewing a screw that was bigger than his body.

“But the spirit from before…”

“It is definitely different from other spirits. It’s like the primordial spirit from the legend.”

Serenian summoned the spirits that inhabited his body. A lump of lightning that doesn’t even have a proper shape.

It was definitely different from the spirits of this era, who had grown up and experienced for a long time and had the ability to think on an equal footing and even more memory to be able to talk with elves.

Until now, they were closer to animals that had not even been properly established and moved only by instinct. But it also means that it has an untainted innocence.

That’s why Serenian was grateful to this spirit for choosing him. It was as if this choice had proved that he had not yet been defiled.

“I’ve never heard of a lightning elemental. Since it is a spirit that dwells in the heart of the black bull given by the gods, is the black bull moving with the power of lightning?”

Gamin laughed at the crackling spark.

There were various spirits, and the contents were passed down through tradition, but the spirit of lightning, which handles thunderbolts, was close to 200 years old, and he did not know about it either.

‘Maybe it really is.’

Hearing those words, Serenian remembered the sight of Seunghyeon charging his walkie-talkie.

At that time, Seunghyun said that the walkie-talkie consumes electricity. When he asked what electricity was, Seunghyeon replied that it was definitely something like lightning.

“Do you know what this is?”

It was just in case that I passed the walkie-talkie that was attached to my waist to my spirit.

“I can’t believe it.”

“Huh.”

But at that moment, the spirit sent a crackling electric shock to the radio and instantly filled up the radio’s battery that was more than half loaded with its own power.

‘Spirit of the sky.’

She looked up at the sky. Lightning is originally the power of the sky. That’s why Serenian thought that this lightning spirit that had chosen him was another gift the spirit had given him.

***

“Yeah, that’s right. Yes, the spirits of the sky… Control lightning.”

Is it really so? Cybernetic abilities can be counted on one hand, regardless of class.

However, when I heard the voice of her holding the walkie-talkie and suppressed her excitement, and seeing her openly happy face, I couldn’t bear to tell the truth.

In hindsight, it wasn’t exactly wrong.

Unexpectedly, as soon as she came into contact with the battery I sent her, her spirit awakened within it.

Rather, it’s a relief that no exercise-crazy pink rabbit or battery-powered man appeared.

‘Good is good.’

Of course, it was just a little confusing.

Anyway, Serenian succeeded in making a contract with the spirit that was allowed only to a few elves. It was also an unprecedented lightning spirit.

I glanced at the lighter in the corner of the desk, wondering if a different elemental spirit would come out if I put something else in, but I put it off for now.

“I received a lot of help when I needed more power to attack the labyrinth where monsters live. I will be able to attack the new labyrinth sooner.”

“…Then I’m glad.”

In reality, she only intended to fight with the power she unexpectedly gained. For those who follow her, as well as all the elves who will be with her in the future.

“—. –!”

As soon as she finished her communications, she mustered her warriors.

I felt her eagerness to test her own strength. In fact, she headed to the Bug-Law Dungeon with only a handful of her warriors, including herself.

Since they couldn’t recreate the barrier, they reached the entrance of the dungeon by crossing the clay barrier that surrounded only the perimeter of the dungeon where the pill bugs crawled out. A very large underground dungeon that I hadn’t explored properly yet.

I have already given up on inferring what kind of place it is and why it was created. In the yard where the lightning spirit comes out of the battery, it was best to pass it on, thinking that if anything went into that small world, something would change.

“—!”

As soon as I enter the dungeon after moving the drone, what I see is huge pill bugs that have come out to fight the elves.

From my point of view, the attacks weren’t too strong, but they were monsters that were difficult to deal with with normal weapons unless they had the strength to break the shells if they rushed at them, thanks to their hard shells and low body height.

Furthermore, the witch beasts, who have evolved in various ways in a twisted direction, have become more difficult enemies due to their harder carapaces and sharp spines growing on their carapaces.

‘Strong.’

However, a power appeared to neutralize that powerful defense.

A lightning spirit that came out of a battery that absorbed mana that came to be with Serenian. In exchange for Serenian’s power, the spirit scattered powerful lightning strikes. Then, the blue lightning spread in a fan shape, instantly electrocuting and knocking down the demonic beasts and bugs that gave the elves trouble with their hard armor.

Looking at her pale face, even though it seems to be eating away at her power, its power is guaranteed.

I don’t know what’s still in that deep burrow, but at least until a stronger enemy appears, the elves seemed to be able to push the bugs away with ease.

‘What is that?’

The moment the elves got so excited they stepped deeper into the burrow, relying on the drone flash and the light of the torches.

They as well as I were at a loss for words at the sight unfolding before our eyes.

“—!”

It’s like an ant’s nest. The deeper you go, the more terrifying and stronger they become.

Serenian, who had managed to catch on quickly, spurred her kin to fend off a new type of mutant pill bug that was charging at her with a pair of gigantic claws protruding from her back.
