Episode 118 – Spirit King

Lorsha radiated unusual power. By the way, the Spirit King… Wasn’t there anyone other than Airi who officially signed a contract with the Spirit King? I heard that there are a few who refused to sign the contract themselves. There were swordsmen who gave up the contract with the spirit of the wind for revenge, there were wizards who gave up the contract for the sake of faith, and there were also people who refused to make a contract with the king of spirits because they were reluctant to make a contract with the spirit itself… I thought one of them was Lorsha…

“Pillar of water of the King of Spirits, purify the evil by covering it.”

Then, a huge column of water wrapped around Gawain’s body. I thought it would evaporate in an instant again, but he couldn’t escape easily, and he managed to escape after spewing out a large amount of flame. On the other hand, Lorsha did not seem to have put much effort into creating the water column.

If that bastard Gawain used 50 mana to breathe fire, it felt like Lorsha only used 10 mana to create that water column.

Gawain, who was drenched in water, shouted.

“Lancelot! Galahad! What are you guys doing if you don’t help too!!!”

It was dangerous. No matter how much Lorsha was, she couldn’t deal with that bastard named Lancelot at the same time. Lancelot is a monster that I, Camellia, and Ricardo can’t deal with.

But Lancelot did not move a single step and said:

“This is out of the contract.”

“What? What is this bastard talking about!!!”

“All I have contracted with your king is to follow his orders. I have never agreed to obey the orders of scumbags like you.”

“What bullshit is that, Lancelot! Come on, fight these bastards!!!”

“What I was ordered to do is to subdue the Iron Spirit King. I have followed my orders and will have to receive a portion of what was promised. Unless the king orders me to subdue them, this is a futile fight for me.”

So, in short, he meant that he was only doing what he was told to do, so he didn’t have to get involved in this fight. But to subdue the Iron Spirit King… is that a bluff?

“Yeah, I’m an asshole for expecting such an arrogant bastard! Galahead!!! I mean you come and help me too!!!”

Then the masked woman Lancelot had with him answered.

“I’m in the same position as Sir Lancelot. You were the one who responded to the fight first, so take care of yourself and end it yourself, trash.”

Gawain’s body began to burn. Is this why they say they are on fire when they are angry? That was a pretty direct expression.

“Karahesu! I mean you come and help!!!”

Then a man wearing a mask started approaching.

“By headquarters.”

“Damn it! To think that the only person who can help me is this trash… Really, this guy and that guy!!! I will properly report my work today to Your Highness!!!”

Suddenly, the sound of trash was heard, but Lancelot and Galahad didn’t care at all. Lancelot looked at Gawain, me, and Lorsha in turn with a rather aloof expression, then said,

“Sir Gawain, I will give you a prophecy in advance for the funeral money. Whoever kills you today will be the weakest and most insignificant person in this territory.”

Lancelot said so and cut the wall with his sword. When he cut through the wall, what appeared was a space made of pitch-black darkness. I think I’ve seen similar tricks before, but did you make them that way?

“And those two mages… Still foolish. I hope next time they’ll be more mature.”

“This fucking bastard told me to be foolish …”

“Then goodbye.”

Galahad and Lancelot disappeared into that dark space. I have no idea what the alternative principle is, but now was not the time to care about those bastards. What we need to worry about right now is that Gawain and Karahes.

When Karahess approached Lorsha, I cast my magic on him.

“Lightning, become an arrow.”

The lightning that extended like an arrow aimed at the face of the guy, and it hit him directly. Quite a few people’s faces would have turned to porridge… Even if they couldn’t kill them, they would have done a lot of damage.

“Umm… This tastes good. Lightning property magic really tastes the best, right?”

The guy was fine. To be precise, only the mask was shattered, the annoying face and the annoying voice were intact. Lightning arrow magic is quite powerful, so even if you get hit directly, you won’t be able to withstand it calmly. Besides, judging from that bastard’s words…

“You’ve absorbed my magic, you bastard.”

“Yes~ All of the members of the Black Round Table are born with a unique constitution. I have been able to use magic since I was young. There is no chef or next person in front of me who uses magic, whether it’s a magic tower or something.”

The nymphs who talked like shit before, as well as the nymphs who were somehow awkward to deal with, said that there was a secret like this. Then, could Lancelot or Galahad have some unusual constitution?

“Are you both wizards? Then I’ll eat you both well. Without leaving a single piece of flesh on your bones…!”

The bastard opened his mouth greedily. The shape of the mouth that disgusted me… Personally, I hated the pups that looked like that the most. But it’s an obvious fact that he’s a counter to the wizard… No, Gawain and this bastard named Karahes are like that, and most wizards didn’t get along well.

Even if you opened the book of Enoch and cast a large-scale magic, it was just a special meal for him.

If that’s the case, you should use magic that won’t matter if that bastard eats it.

“Lightning, become your armor.”

The magic of the lightning attribute began to wrap around his body like a suit of armor. It’s not a projectile attack, so you’ll be able to land a lightning punch right in his face. I immediately charged him and landed a kick in his face.

However, the part that was ripped off was not his face, but the flesh of my calf.

“Did you think I couldn’t eat if I attacked with magic? Did you think I could only eat projectiles? I’m a body that eats the magic itself!”

The bastard should have explained that beforehand. Blood started to flow, and all I could think about was not letting this bastard go to Lorsha. The match was too bad for a wizard to deal with.

At least it would have been easier if there were at least one of Ricardo, Camellia, and Glaceon… but even if there was only one, it would have been a cake.

“Then it’s my turn!!!”

He lunged at me and opened his mouth. This crazy bastard knew people hot.

“Steel, cover my body!”

If you’re going to search, I thought I’d at least make that bastard get an implant. It was a steel attribute magic that I used with that in mind. But when he saw that my body had changed to steel, he changed his posture and sent me flying with a kick.

After all, even if the body was wrapped in steel, there was no impact. In addition, Karahesu’s fighting skills were also quite good.

But why did he change his attitude when he should have eaten me as is? While trying to catch me as it is, it ran like that. Because he eats magic, he must be a natural enemy of magic… Wait a minute, Lancelot said he just subdued the King of Steel Spirit.

However, to subdue the Spirit King, who is the magic itself, sending only this bastard Karahes would be enough. But sending three of them along like this… Does that bastard, Karahes, not be able to eat steel-attribute magic? That’s why I turned my body into steel, so instead of eating, I switched my attacks to kicks?

Then the answer is simple. From now on, I am Iron Man.

I rushed at him with steel wrapped around my body. Just like this, I can smash his face with my iron fist.

“Tsk… I guess you noticed.”

Was this also a weakness? As long as he noticed his weakness, this bastard is now dead. I dug deep, expecting that it would have been withdrawn. But, contrary to my expectations, Karahes approached me and bit my shoulder.

And the steel that wrapped around my body broke, and he said while chewing on the steel that wrapped around my body.

“Well, it’s not that you can’t eat steel attribute magic. It’s just a little hard to eat. Everyone thinks the same, reacts the same, and suffers the same… It’s not really funny…”

“This fucking pig…”

Is there really no answer? It was clear that my body would die in the mouth of Karahes, who would eat anything even if I just used pure martial arts without magic.

“Well then, there is no next move.”

He just landed a kick on my stomach. I blocked it with my arm, so there was no major damage… but the impact was so great that it pierced the wall and flew away.

Just as I was prepared to have a limb eaten and thought about whether I should fight only with taijutsu, I heard a gloomy voice behind me.

“How dare you make me like this… you arrogant bastards…”

Wanting to see someone, I looked back and saw a huge hedgehog with steel spikes tied up in a black chain. From what I could see, the body full of icons seemed to have been hit by Lancelot with excitement.

“How dare I, the spirit king of steel…”

“Hey there.”

I approached him, hoping to be of some help. The steel spirit king, who was groping around, saw me and his pupils shook.

“All… you…”
