Chapter 90 (1/2)

I take a step on the steep ground.

Accompanying me are Frau, Alusha and Pione.

It seems Kaede and the others each have something of their own to do, so they stayed home.

Panda seems to prefer spending time at home as of late, so he stayed with Kaede.

”This place is very quiet, and the air is cleaner than the air in my village.”

”Really? I hadn't noticed.”

”You're too slow to notice these things, Toru. This is such a beautiful place.”

Yes, I know what they're thinking, I'm insensitive.

I don't care if they think I'm a fool.

”This place is strange. I feel like I'm being watched from several directions.”

”Yes. I can feel countless eyes on me right now.”

In response to Pione and Frau's words, I activated my Dragon Eye to look around.

As expected, there were spirits everywhere.

Countless translucent fish swam through the forest, and lizards hung upside down from tree branches by their legs.

Birds peek out from behind the grass and rats watch from the rocks.

They noticed my gaze and seemed agitated.

”Hey Toru, what kind of monster are you trying to kill?”

”It's probably that one.”

There was a creature at the end of the road with the same appearance as Nei's father told me.

Thank you for saving me the trouble of looking for you.

Large Stump Boar: It is a boar-like demon that boasts of its rushing power. With its size and the strength of its legs, it is said to be able to smash through iron plates. However, I haven't heard of anyone breaking through an iron wall, so I'm guessing it's not that strong.

The monster we are looking for is six meters long.

It is not the same size.

That thing is at least 10 feet long.

”Bugiii!”

The wild boar finds us and screams.

Everyone was on guard.

”What do you want me to do, my Lord? Frau can take care of him.

”Don't worry, I'll do it.”

I need to get used to my new strength.

So I want to check how much I can control its output.

As the boar charges right at me, I stop it with my index finger and then raise my arm.

”Boogiiiiiiii--boogie!”

*Zun*

I lowered my arm and lightly tapped the boar with my finger.

The animal then crashed hard against the ground, vomited blood, and then its eyes turned white.

I think I overdid it, however, I think it was enough.

I still have to adjust my power.

”Ah, Toru is still out of his limit.”

”Seeing Toru's power first hand, it makes me wonder how dumb someone would be to mess with him or make him angry.”

”It's true. If we offend my Lord, he can burn us to the ground.”

”What do you think you're saying?”

Please don't treat me like I'm a monster.

I am still a human being in my mind.

For now, I will draw my knife and drain the blood.

Wild boar is supposed to be very delicious, so I will take its body back to the village and share its meat with the villagers.

I finished draining the Boar's blood, and threw it into the magic storage.

”Now that I'm done with my homework, it's time to look for the spirit for Alusha.”

”Aleusha, how will you find the right spirit?”

”You'll see.”

Alusha spread her hands and concentrated her mind.

Five minutes had passed and Alusha was still in the same position.

”What are you doing?

”I am waiting. The spirit that is compatible with me will come on its own.”

”Oh, I see. I'm sorry.”

”?”

As I was still using the Dragon's eyes, no spirit dared to approach.

I grabbed Frau and Pione and decided to walk away so Alusha would succeed.

Once away, the spirits began to approach Alusha.

”Spirit, please give me your power. Spirit, please give me your power.

She talked incessantly.

Then, several spirits approached and poked Alusha with their mouths.

The fish, which looked like a water spirit, lost interest and left.

The bird that looked like a wind spirit watched her for a while underfoot, but it didn't seem to be a match, so it left.

The lizard, which looked like a fire spirit, crawled up her leg, but it didn't seem to be a match either, so it went down to the ground and fled.

All that remains is the spirit of the land, the rat.

”I can feel it. You are here. Please lend me your strength. In return, I will give you my life force.”

The rat nodded and ran to Alusha's shoulder.

It appears that the contract is now complete.

”I have made a contract with a spirit! What is the attribute of the new spirit?”
