Chapter 074. stop there

‘What is it?’

Aaron glared fiercely at Asram in the pit.

To corrupt the water of life, an enormous amount of demonic energy is required.

He would have poured out all the demonic energy he took from the elders and his own, so now was the chance to defeat him.

“uuu!”

However, it was not easy because of the resurrected elders.

These guys are less intelligent and faster than they were in life, but the life water constantly regenerates their wounds, making them harder to kill.

It would be difficult to go down into the pit and be surrounded by Ashram and the elders, so he had to deal with them before Ashram.

“Turisaz. enchantment.”

[Applies the power of a rune to the sword.]

[Spirit is reduced by 25%.]

[Your sanity is less than 50% (45%). Slight dizziness occurs.]

The cosmos was covered with crimson air currents, and my eyes spun.

It was a skill I saved to use when fighting Asram, but there was no other way.

‘Let’s finish quickly.’

Shaking his head to shake off his dizziness, Aaron jumped forward without waiting for them to come.

Then the undead Joras, who was standing in the lead, reacted immediately and swung his sword.

Caang!

[Apopis’ durability is less than 20%.]

Aaron twisted his body to block the attack with his carapace, then raised his sword diagonally.

Awesome!

There was a slash of the withered hide, and Joras fell.

Aaron slashed the fallen Jorasth’s neck before stepping back.

“I did it by chance, but it’s still true.”

Looking at the tongue-out head, my appetite was bitter.

Jorasu’s level was in the late 60’s when he was alive.

As it was originally, since I caught the guy with a level difference of over 30, it would be normal if the level went up, but Aaron’s level remained the same.

In the game, monsters revived by summoning magic, shamanism, or necromantic magic give little experience.

Since these elders were also revived by the water of life, they seemed to be treated as summoned creatures.

“Ugh!”

Magri and Ronin, standing in the back, widened their eyes at the fallen Joras.

Even though their intelligence had deteriorated, they seemed to feel a sense of threat that the opponent could kill them.

After that, the attitude of the elders changed.

The guys who had rushed in without thinking were splitting on both sides and preparing for a pincer attack.

Aaron gripped the cosmos tightly and glared at them.

Enchantments can be used twice a day and consume a lot of mental energy, so use them carefully.

I was impatient because I was wasting my time on those who didn’t even give me experience points, even if I spent both times against Asram.

“Don’t measure, attack. You corpses.”

“… … .”

The elders did not respond to Aaron’s words.

I just circled around and waited for him to open up.

Aaron clenched his teeth.

The veins on his forehead and the protruding jaw muscles revealed his emotions.

If Apophis was still intact, he would have dealt with the attack with his body, but his armor was already damaged and lost most of its functions.

I couldn’t move easily because I knew that if I attacked one, the other would shove a sword into the broken part.

[The duration of the enchantment is 90 seconds.]

The notification message that came out every 30 seconds added to my nervousness.

I even thought about strengthening my body with the Turisaz rune as soon as possible, but that was too much of a gamble.

pop!

The car was filled with frustration, and a bright yellow light flashed along with a sharp banging sound.

At the same time, Ronin on the right bent his back and fell out.

“Ugh?”

Margri looked around in bewilderment and jerked his sword.

Chaeeng!

The sword that had been flying at his head bounced sideways.

“Ah-oh! What a waste!”

Rhaast shouted with regret and kicked him in the chest.

Unsteady, Margri stumbled and fell beside the ronin.

“Aaron! are you okay?”

“Your armor is completely destroyed?”

Nesti and Raast came to the side.

Aaron nodded and looked at their faces.

It was as expected.

Rhaast suffered numerous stab wounds, and his whole body was covered in blood, and the wounds that had not stopped bleeding were visible here and there.

Nesty didn’t look good either, with bruises all over her body and her clothes drenched in cold sweat.

“Just give me time.”

Both of them looked like they were about to collapse, but there was no word to run away or to rest.

“I’ll go see him.”

Aaron put his regret behind and pointed at Asram with the tip of his sword.

Asram touched the water of life and sucked up the consumed demonic energy.

It would get stronger as time went on, so it was better to take it down as quickly as possible.

“yes. Leave this to us.”

“Be careful.”

The group happily nodded.

Aaron glanced at the fallen elders and ran toward the pit.

“I am so sorry that I am late.”

After Aaron leaves.

Nesty said, squatting in front of Raven.

Raven was still unable to control himself because of the injuries he sustained earlier.

That’s why he was trying to heal the elders while they stuttered.

“… … It’s just a burden.”

Raven closed his eyes.

Seeing Nesty treating her with her immature body, an unbearable sense of helplessness came over me.

“The burden is someone’s burden.”

Watching the elders, Rhaast said.

Raven turned and looked at him.

“You and we both fight for what is right. You’re doing well enough, so don’t be weak. Because it doesn’t suit me.”

Rhaast wasn’t looking at her.

However, the emotion contained in the voice was clearly conveyed.

“The two of us can’t beat them. Can you help me?”

When the treatment was over, Nesty held out her hand.

Clear beads of sweat dripped from her chin to the ground.

“… … .”

Raven kept his mouth shut at the unknown emotion rising from within.

What are they fighting for?

Why did he come to such a remote place to help the Dark Elves?

The appearance of risking one’s life for a foreign species he had never seen before was the exact opposite of what Asram had described as a stranger.

‘I am… … It wasn’t wrong.’

Before long, she held Nesti’s hand firmly.

* * *

“I think I’m going to vomit.”

Aaron murmured as he looked at the water of life that had grown grotesquely.

It was stained black with demonic contamination and had such a bizarre shape that it could no longer be called a tree.

Hey hey-!

As I got closer to the water of life, the sound of a woman’s screaming pained my ears.

It was the last defense mechanism of the water of life, warning living things not to approach.

“There he is.”

As I got closer, I saw Asram.

He leaned back on the water of life and closed his eyes.

Having devoured the demonic energy that spewed out endlessly, he had already regained nearly half of his strength.

‘How do I kill that thing?’

Aaron glared at him through the helmet.

The current water of life is no different from Asram’s Life Force Vessel.

As long as that was there, even if you cut off your head or cut your body into pieces, you would be revived endlessly, so there was no point in destroying your body.

‘If only I could approach it.’

The only way to overcome the situation is to return the contaminated water of life to its original state.

Originally, the purification of the corrupted water of life is a difficult task that requires hundreds of priests of the Sephirot Church to stick to it, but Aaron had a unique means called a rune.

If you use the feedback skill you used on Count Arnin before, that number of lives will surely go back to normal.

The problem was that he had to get past Asram, who was carrying the water of life on his back.

[-friend! friend! oh my god! The water of life is hurting!]

[-You have to get it quickly! hurry!]

He was about to step out, but Sylph and Shade, who belatedly chased after him, flew around busily.

They were engulfed in the demonic air spewing out of the water of life, and they were in a state of fading out of sight.

If left as it is, it would soon perish like cotton candy in water.

[-You will die if you stay here. Get out of Black Citadel quickly.]

Aaron waved his hand and drove them away.

[-no! I have to save the water of life!]

[-You promised to save it together!]

But instead of leaving, the spirits became angry.

Until they came here, they had a fear of extinction.

But seeing a friend I’d known for a long time in so much pain, I couldn’t bear to leave.

The reason I followed Aaron was because I thought he would know how to do something.

‘hmm.’

Aaron crossed his arms and looked at Sylph and Shade.

Looking at them, a picture began to form in my dark mind.

Maybe they have an answer.

[-friends. Do you want to make a contract with me?]

[-Eh?]

[-contract?]

The spirits stopped at the words that came out of nowhere.

They looked at each other and landed on Aaron’s shoulder.

[-Is that good?]

[-Is it good?]

[-huh. If you sign a contract with me, you can not only get that water of life, but also travel wherever you want. Maybe you can see the world tree.]

[-Hee! world tree?]

[-You can see the real world tree?]

Hummingbirds and crows opened their beaks.

The World Tree is the mother of continental plants that created all the trees of life.

I vaguely heard that the elves were guarding it, but not many spirits actually saw it.

Aaron nodded.

[-of course.]

[-wow! then let’s do it! I want to make a contract!]

[-me too! me too!]

Excited spirits at the word that they could see the world tree circled overhead.

‘But I don’t know if I can do this.’

Aaron looked at them and muttered to himself.

He learned basic knowledge of spiritism through a sense of deja vu, but he lacked the key elements needed to command them.

Mana is always required to summon a spirit.

Even if you make a contract with the spirits, if you can’t handle mana, you’ll be fine.

In the worst case, the contract could be canceled and the spirit could be destroyed by the magic haters.

‘It’s worth the bottom line.’

Anyway, if we don’t make a contract now, Sylph and Shade will disappear.

This was a trade that neither the spirits nor Aaron could lose.

“IJ œ ж ф Φ ξ ⍵… … .”

Out of Aaron’s mouth came an unknown language that even the spirits did not understand.

All contracts in the real world are governed by Promises, the god of promise.

Because of this, the contract itself did not require mana.

“… … ô Ç!”

Chew-!

Eventually, when the spell ended, a red scroll opened between Aaron and the spirits.

Simple precautions were written on the translucent scroll floating in the air.

The language written on the scroll changes depending on the viewer so that everyone can understand it.

The same goes for spirits.

Spirits do not have a formal language, but Sylph and Shade were able to read the contents of the scroll.

[-wow! amazing!]

[-I’ve never seen anything like this before!]

The spirits showed more interest in the scroll spread in the air than in the contents of the contract.

[-Reading that doesn’t help much. All spirit contracts are the same anyway… … ?]

Aaron, who was waving his hands and flipping through the contract, hesitated.

He has seen this kind of contract countless times while raising the character of a psychic named Gondalf.

However, what appeared now was a little different from what I had seen in the past.

[When the contract is concluded, a ‘Spirit’ slot is added to the Cosmos, the Sword of Balance.]

[There are two slots initially, and the spirits added to the slots are bound to the user.]

[You can learn new skills depending on the type of spirit you added.]

[Calling the spirit consumes mental power.]

[Spirit consumption depends on the user’s level and stats.]

[Would you like to sign a contract?]

“… … .”

Aaron’s mouth was slightly open, staring at the scroll floating in the air.

[-It’s so difficult that I can’t read it. What is so long?]

[-friend. How can I do this?]

The spirits quickly got tired of looking at the scrolls and complained.

[-uh? uh.]

Aaron, who was sober, pointed at the bottom of the contract with a trembling hand.

[-Take a note there.]
