Chapter 243: 246

Chapter 246 - Spirit Contract

"......Whew, that was helpful. Thank you, both of you."

"Nii-san, are you all right? Good job surviving..."

"I managed to ... but I can't move anymore. When that monster directly attacked me, I thought I was going to die. Thank you so much for saving my life. Thanks, Kyle."

"No, it's not like that. If you want to thank someone, you should thank Thanatos more than me. He told me he lost sight of you and was looking for you in the forest."

"Well, thank you, Thanatos."

"Dun worry 'bout it. I'm just glad you're safe."

　I thank the two guys who helped me after I saw that the bony body of the Undead Bone Dragon had crumbled into pieces and is no longer moving.

　From the looks of it, both Kyle and Thanatos are fine, with no major injuries.

　I, on the other hand, was rather badly wounded.

　I sit down on the ground and slowly catch my breath as I spit out the blood from my mouth again.

"But what the hell happened to you, Kyle? Why were you controlling the trees in the forest like that? Isn't that the same thing that the guy who attacked Thanatos and I did??"

"I'll get to that later, Brother Ars. We have to treat those wounds first. Wait a minute. I can fetch some herbs that are necessary to heal you."

"Yeah, yeah, I got it. Then, let's rest a little."

　I ask Kyle something that had been bothering me while fighting the dragon.

　But he told me that such things could wait.

　Apparently, he had seen some medicinal herbs nearby that could be used for medicine.

　Kyle went with Thanatos to get them.

　In the meantime, I decided to build a brick building in a suitable spot and wait inside.

"The voice calling out was an old tree in this forest? That guy asked you to make a contract with a tree spirit to slay the Undead Dragon... Is that true?"

"It's true, Ars-nii. Don't you believe me...?"

"No, I'm sorry. That's not true, Kyle. I don't doubt your words. But I was surprised. I didn't think that was possible."

"It's not uncommon for people to contract with spirits."

"Eh, really, Thanatos?"

"Atmos warriors also perform contracts with spirits to gain power. Is it different for you, Ars?"

"I guess it is indeed a little different. I've been given spells in a naming ceremony with the church and the Fontana Family."

"...... I see."

"But why did that tree, which I guess could also be considered the ruler of this forest, make you do such a thing, Kyle? The fact that it told you to fight that dangerous thing... is pissing me off."

"Don't worry about bygones, nii-san. Besides, I'm happy. I'm glad I had the strength to help you!"

"Well, if that's what you, I cannot really complain. But the next time that tree says something to you using the voice Thanatos and I can't hear, tell me first, okay? You don't have to do anything dangerous."

"Thank you, nii-san."

　During a break in the woods, I talked to Kyle.

　What he told me was truly fantasy-like.

　We were moving through the forest and Kyle was the only one who heard the call of summoning.

　The voice was coming from a large tree that had been growing in the forest for a long time.

　The tree asked Kyle, who had wandered into the forest, for a favor.

　In exchange for giving Kyle his power, the tree asked him to slay the Undead Bone Dragon.

　The undead corrupt their surroundings just by being there. Those were the worst kind of creatures for the ancient tree that had the power to control other trees in the forest.

　He had tried to do something about it too, to prevent the trees from rotting away near where he was.

　However, the tree said that he could not defeat nor repel the undead bone dragon just by manipulating the trees in the forest.

　But then Kyle appeared.

　The tree said that it sensed Kyle's pure spirit.

　However, he did not want the two other beings that approached with Kyle near himself.

　So, he called out to Kyle and prevented us from going further into the woods.

　I feel as if I was insulted.

　Is that thing calling my spirit unclean? Rude.

　Well, that's what happened, and Kyle had to meet with the ancient tree.

　In the form of an appeal to stop this attack on us in the name of stranding us.

　And it seems that he forced Kyle to fight the undead dragon by saying that, otherwise, he would keep attacking Thanatos and me.

　How could he offer such an exchange in a forest like this?

　It is a very snobbish tree.

　And so, Kyle received powers from the ancient tree.

　Kyle made a contract with the spirit of the tree and was able to control the plants.

　Then, in the forest, Kyle was reunited with Thanatos, and they ran around the forest looking for me, who had been separated from Thanatos.

　After hearing the sounds of battle and a burst of mana, they quickly came towards the direction I was in, rescuing me in the nick of time.

　However, this story makes me ponder about the existence of spirits.

　Considering the fact that I can use [Ice Spirit Summoning], which is Fontana's Head-level spell, the first Head of the Fontana Family must have had a contract with an Ice Spirit.

　The act of a contract between a spirit and a human being must have been in place for quite some time.

　And it is the same for Eastern humans like Thanatos.

　It seems that all the Atmos Warriors had contracted with spirits and obtained the spells to become Titans.

　So perhaps the founders of aristocratic families are often those who contracted with spirits.

　If you make a contract with a spirit, it seems that you can demonstrate magical phenomena rather freely, although the attributes (such as Ice, Fire, Earth) are limited, and it may be easier to create spells.

　Kyle was not able to manipulate plants with mana before, but now that he has made a contract with a tree spirit, he can easily do many things using plants.

"Oh yeah. I need to tell you something, Kyle. Don't make offensive spells easily, okay? The Reed family might suddenly all gain offensive magic."

"Ah, I see. That's what happens when you create a spell while being the founder of a family. All right, Ars-nii."

　It might be a good idea to do a little more research on various things about spirits.

　But that can be done later.

　I applied the medicinal herbs that Kyle had gathered to my chest as an ointment, using the method of medicine making that I had learned from Mimu, and rested for the night.

　I really wanted to sleep longer, but even though we had killed the undead bone dragon, this forest was dangerous.

　There are many other dangerous creatures such as giant boars and ogres.

　Therefore, rather than resting my aching body, we decided to get out of the forest as quickly as possible.

　Starting to move immediately the next day, we managed to get out successfully after a few days of continuous travel.
