Chapter 247 - Releasing the Stronger Spirits (1/2)

The spirit strength was very dense.

I was wondering whether it was the stronger spirit or another spirit stone.

We would have to check it out.

「Timi, bring us in to check.」

「Leave it to me, Alra.」

Timi slowly began to circle in.

But she continued staying at a height where the Jack Frosts couldn’t reach.

I stayed focused on the land below me. Then I saw the form of the stronger spirit.

It was a giant, about two times the size of a man.

It had a huge collar around it’s massive neck.

White skin, blue eyes and hair, the same as the spirit lord.

「A stronger spirit.」

「There’s no spirit stone, though.」

Just in case, I asked the spirit lord, still clutching onto me,

「Spirit lord. Is there a spirit stone around here too?」

『Small.』

「There’s a small spirit stone?」

『Correct.』

Timi said,

「You want me to shoot my breath?」

「No, no need, it’s just going to destroy everything on the ground.」

「Okay.」

I didn’t want to use it unless I had to.

「If it’s only a small stone, then we should just release the giant first.」

「You may be right.」

If we can break open the collar, then we could know more about how and why they were made.

If I could just get close, it would be easy to break.

We needed to get information.

In the battle against the spirit lord, we had to use magic breath and my bolt to clear everything away.

Because of that, there were no traces left behind.

I wanted to hear the stronger spirit’s story, and examine the collar.

Timi could just drop me down, and I could approach the giant and his collar directly.

However, getting close was going to be quite hard.

First, my knee hurt. It might have been because of the magic I already used.

Even so, Timi weaved through the spirit magic that the Jack Frosts were shooting.

It would be a bit of a nuisance to get close.

If I had Femm with me, riding past them would be no problem.

Just then, Cruz said,

「You want me to do it?」

「No, it’s a magic device. Even with a holy sword, you might not be able to break it.」

「I see…」

She said, and Cruz again looked worried.

「But, Al, doesn’t your knee hurt?」

「A little. I can do something through using my magic.」

If I used magic, I could move quickly while I was fighting.

And since it was harder to run in, it might be better to move myself standing still so I could focus on magic.

I thought about it, then Cruz said, smiling,

「Here, I’ll carry you, Al.」

「Wha?」

「I told you, let me carry you.」

「Whaaaaa?」

I thought about it, though.

I never tried that before, but it seems like it would be a worse ride than Femm.

「I’ll run, and you can focus on using your magic.」

「…ummm.」

I was a bit worried.
