93 Fighting the Spirit King of Fire (1/2)

Clay had arrived at the Spirit Realm.

Surprisingly, there was nothing in this realm. What made the Spirit Realm a place where Spirits thrive, was the Spirit energy that was abundant and inexhaustible here.

Each Spirit King made their territories more comfortable with their own kind, by constantly releasing their own energy to either burn, freeze, blow, solidify and etcetera their own territories.

The Fire Spirit King, Agni, made his territory burning. If one were to picture Hell in the biblical perspective, then they would have thought this place was Hell itself. There were no buildings, no structures at all, just fire, perpetually burning in an area even bigger than the Asia continent on Earth.

There was no palace for the king nor where their politics. It was all just them, living together comfortably. There was no need for food and shelter, however, what the Spirit King of Fire liked most were hot-blooded fighters that show him fights that could be entertaining.

He himself was inclined to fighting the other Kings when he was bored. Overall, the Spirit Realm was a realm that lived in perpetual peace. There were no deaths here as well, as spirits were literally immortal. They may weaken and would need time to recover their strength but, they never truly die.

Clay had opened his eyes as he was thrown by Agni once they arrived. Then he immediately announced,

”Here is a potential contract, who wants to form a bond with me! Let us all witness a fight worthy of admiration and praise! Make room, my kin!”

Agni waved his hand as he spoke, and the lesser spirits were forcibly moved back to make room. They also did not resist, as doing so was pointless after all.

”Lord Clay, we meet once again.” Greeted Efrit who he met and fought some time ago.

Clay also remembered Efrit. ”Hey. It has been so long. Nice to see you again.” He greeted back.

”It's good to witness a fight worthy of the master's praise and hype. We are honored to witness this!” Said Efrit as he turned around and joined the crowd outside the encirclement.

Suddenly, the heat of the place fluctuated and there appeared the Spirit King Frost.

”Agni! Are you going to fight again?! The last time you fought with someone, you rampaged on for a few years! Can you not do that again?!”

Then the wind blew so hard as if to snuff the fire out of the place.

”That's right Agni. Even if you want to alleviate your boredom, don't get us in as collateral damage!” The Spirit King of Gale, Syl seconded Frost.

”Syl, Frost! Do you not see who I have with me?! He is the only human who'd ever summoned me with pure magic energy! He must be quite good right?!”

”Really? This guy summoned you. Haha! You must have become weaker Agni! How could a human even begin to summon you? Even lesser spirits would be hard for them!” Syl gloated and made the low-tempered Agni blast him with a flamethrower.

”Bah! You are just jealous I can finally blow some steam off! So back off!” Agni showed a pissed expression on his giant face and threw the attack.

Meanwhile, Clay was on the surprisingly hard ground, despite not having any ground at all. He could flatly feel the sole of his feet in contact with a hard floor, but there was no floor. This was confusing for him.

”Does my opinion even matter here? Are we really in the Spirit Realm?”

His Ultimate skill started an operation that he did not even authorize, but since he felt that the spirit energy here was inexhaustible anyway, ”Might as well.” Clay muttered.

No one answered him as the three Kings argued back and forth.

”What is this commotion?!” Another gigantic spirit arrived and obviously looked like a giant mountain that can move. This was the Spirit King of Earth, Gaius.

”Oh Gaius! I found some fresh meat and want to have a battle with him for a contract. So, keep your distance and don't steal my prey you hear?!”

Agni was telling Gaius off as if his accusations have already happened once upon a time. Hearing this, Gaius was a bit embarrassed and said, ”What are you talking about? I never stole from you! I just told them, having their contract with me would bring more benefits and I never lied!”

Feeling accused, Gaius was blabbering away to defend himself.

”Hey Human! Let us start this fight already before any more thieves arrive and steal your contract away!”

Clay heard Agni and he wanted to ask a question, but Agni had already started attacking him without warning!

Agni formed a fist and slammed it against Clay. As his fist was getting closer, Agni's size shrunk until he was the same size as Clay.

Clay had never felt threatened by Agni or any of the Spirit Kings before, but right now, he felt like all his being only had one goal, to run away. His body was screaming for him to run away this instant.

”Damn! Maybe I did not feel they were threatening because they never saw me a threat in the first place, hence no hostility or intent to fight generated from them that I could pick up!

”That, or I was too weak the first time I met him, and I couldn't even measure his abilities and power?

”Either way, I'm fucked if I fight recklessly. I have to discard my mortal body and switch to my spiritual body instead!”

Deciding so, Clay immediately unleashed his Spiritual transformation and entered Spiritual Body mode.

Seeing this, Agni was intrigued but only reacted with one of his brows shooting upwards without stopping his punch from hitting Clay.

With the confidence to face Agni's punch now, Clay blocked with his arms crossed before Agni;s punch and resulted in,
