Chapter 119 – Contract

“you are…”

The Steel Spirit King looked quite surprised when he saw me. I’ve never seen him though. Maybe you know Werner’s face? Even though Werner was quite a celebrity, was the Spirit King something of personal interest? No matter how good Werner is, the spirit kings basically have no interest in human lives?

“Do you know me?”

“You… don’t remember who you are? Or… are you unaware in the first place?”

The brow furrowed on its own at the unknown bullshit. I know who I am, but who am I? Are you pretending to know me better than me?

“I am me. Do you need any other explanation other than that?”

“Looks like you don’t remember.”

“Who do you think I am?”

“…you are the son of one to whom we owe allegiance.”

“What?”

I couldn’t believe it. All media described Werner as an orphan. If there is any other explanation than that, it’s just that he escaped after being caught by bad people and spending unfortunate days. But being the son of a being that the spirit kings had to be loyal to… that was a joke that wasn’t even funny. If Werner’s parents were that great, they wouldn’t have let their son grow up an orphan.

“Not even funny…”

“You can handle all the magic of attributes… Whose virtue do you think it is?”

Certainly, it was a world where being born with just one attribute was considered blessed, and sorcerers engaged in crossbreeding marriages with each other so that a child with two would be born. However, since Werner had talents in all attributes, it must have been strange. But it was just a miracle that could happen.

“Looks like you still don’t believe me.”

“Yes, of course. It’s strange that I’m not surprised when they suddenly come to me and tell me that my parents are really great.”

But now there was no time for such trifles. Rorsha will be in danger if we don’t get out quickly and engage. In particular, even though he was rotten, Gawain’s ability was still terrifying, and Karahes was also too bad for a wizard to deal with.

If so, I had to deal with them, prepared to lose one limb at a time.

“Are you leaving already?”

“Yes, because I have an urgent matter.”

The Iron Spirit King was also in a critical condition, but I put my friend first. I had to fight with a worried mind that something might happen to Lorsha. The steel spirit king was also in a serious condition, but first of all, shouldn’t he live and see people?

“Then how about borrowing my power?”

The steel spirit king didn’t get angry or annoyed, but rather quietly asked me. That arrogant and high-nosed spirit king would give me strength… but a proposal that was too sweet always had thorns.

“So what’s the price?”

“From now on, your descendants will naturally become the body that signed a contract with me.”

That’s why I’m going to play with my descendants… I honestly didn’t like it. People have their own freedom, and I didn’t want to ruin their lives with my own decisions. If I accepted the pact and got involved in my descendants, there would be children hundreds of years from now who would be in trouble because of my decision.

“I refuse.”

“But isn’t the situation urgent right now?”

That was also true. Ordinary magic could not tamper with the child of Karahes. The least effective method is steel attribute magic… but now that I can’t use great magic, the only place I can rely on is the spirit king’s magic.

Suddenly, I remembered that Lorsha accepted the contract with the Spirit King for me. Perhaps she thought the same as me. Since she also had a good character, she probably didn’t want to attract descendants. But she accepted the contract with the Spirit King to save me. Considering that no one in history has signed a contract with the water spirit king… She made a big decision because of me.

“Tsk… let’s accept it.”

Then I had to do something for her too. Even if I was hated by my descendants, I couldn’t just suck my fingers while Rorsha was fighting. Yes, considering my descendants, the correct answer is not to accept such a contract.

But for the sake of the future, ignoring the little things for the greater value… it was no different from the idea of sacrificing a cow for the greater good. I will seek first what is in front of my eyes.

“Yes, I understand… I will gather my last strength and make a contract with you. You know how to make a contract with the King of Spirits, right?”

“Don’t look at me as a double. That’s the basics.”

It was just a matter of copying what Lorsha had just shown. I reached out my hand towards the Iron Spirit King.

“I, Werner Alton, intend to make a contract by giving karma to my own blood and blood relatives, so this contract will be passed down from generation to generation.”

“Armadura, the spirit king of steel, I will lend you my strength according to the laws that my mother created in the beginning.”

“The humble wizard, Werner Alton, approves this contract.”

Then Armadura’s body melted like molten metal in a furnace and seeped into my body. It was a strange sensation. It was a strange sensation that sucked energy through the whole body. I didn’t know what kind of expression I would make in a mysterious feeling that was refreshing and slightly nauseous. And the magic spells that can be used that I made a contract with the King of Steel Spirit flowed into my head.

And from somewhere, Armadura’s voice was heard.

[This concludes our contract. I’ve just finished the contract, so you won’t be able to use all the magic I know… but there will be no shortage of fighting.]

“Hey… I’m going to put out the urgent fire first… Later on, I’ll have to properly explain who my parents are from beginning to end.”

The reason I didn’t listen now was simple. Because I didn’t want to create an element of anxiety that would shake my mind before the fight. Werner grew up as an orphan, and the story of his parents couldn’t be positive.

[Yes, I understand. Although within the limits allowed to me… there will be restrictions.]

I just rushed through the hole I had drilled towards Karahes. It seems that he was looking for an opportunity to surprise Lorsha, but rather took too much time to join me and confronted me.

“Oh, did you come again? Did you come with a spirited spirit? If you think that something would have changed, that’s a big mistake…”

“The king of steel spirits———————————————————

Everyone was startled by the sound and looked at me. Karahes, Lorsha, and even that bastard Gawain.

“From now on, my arm will become a spear that kills even gods.”

Then, my arms were covered with what looked like chunky steel scales. I knew it instinctively. It’s qualitatively different from the steel I’ve made with magic so far.

“Werner, you don’t have to make this unfair contract…!”

“Chit… It looks like you signed a contract with the steel spirit king you barely subdued. That’s why it would have been better if you just followed my words to kill him and bring him back.”

“Gawain-sama. Even so, steel magic tends to rely on taijutsu most of the time. At most, the wizard’s taijutsu…”

This bastard dared to ignore my taijutsu. All the martial arts that I have learned so far are like a tribute to the knowledge accumulated by mankind, a tower of suffering built by countless warriors with blood, sweat and tears. How dare you insult that martial art… That bastard, Karahes, was an enemy of mankind, a bastard like Hitler.

“Then, just take a look at what a wizard’s taijutsu is like and tell me what you think.”

I ran straight to the guy.

He just tried to absorb my magic. But he couldn’t absorb the steel around my arm. No matter how much he had a constitution to absorb magic, it seemed that he could not absorb the magic of the spirit king, which is the source of that attribute.

Hoyeongryu Nachaljang. The spinning blow shattered the man’s jaw. First of all, I had to block that pig-like mouth that would eat anything.

“Turn it off…!”

“I guess I can’t eat properly anymore? But you don’t have to worry too much.”

The Brocken family’s unique martial art, the red rain of Berlin.

As I copied the martial arts I had seen or learned, Karahes gradually became bloody. Karahesu also had a good understanding of martial arts, but his defensive skills were poor, probably because he relied too much on his constitution of eating magic.

“F… help me! I’m a mess right now! My leg is broken and my shoulder is completely shattered! My neck hurts so bad right now!”

Because I was beaten behind, I was able to heal the concept of honorific words. Again, the medium is a panacea.

“Let’s see, did I eat the calf flesh earlier?”

The Code of Hammurabi says: An eye for an eye, an eye for a tooth, an eye for calf flesh.

He sighed and the blood started to spurt like a fountain. Eye stabbing is good, but the blood splatter was the downside.

“Quaaa!!!!”

“What should I finish with?”

I grabbed him by the chin and paid homage to all the martial arts of mankind. And with that heart, I broke his neck.
