Spirit Affinity and Spirit Summoning .

I have pondered many times about making full use of those skills .

But I never committed to them because I fear I would lose myself if I constantly relied on the others such as a spirit’s .

As I gain more clarity for spirit power, I become more reluctant to use it .

I was disgusted with the idea or borrowing power from others . Therefore, I focused on my own growth .

Faced with Spirit King, I deceived it by saying I wished to put my effort into growing my physical prowess .

[Is that so? I understand . So is that the same reason that only one soul is loaded inside that sword?]

Spirit King pointed to the Soul Sword clipped to my waist as it said that .

Hm?

[The number of souls that sword can load are no less than tens of thousands . Didn’t you know that?]

No I didn’t, not at all .

I didn’t hear such an explanation when buying the sword .

Both the item window’s description and Kiri Kiri did not tell me that .

I pondered over the Spirit King’s questions .

Once I clear this confusion, I must punish Kiri Kiri by pinching her cheeks .

According to the Spirit King, if I loaded tens of thousands of souls into the sword, I would see the corresponding effect .

The Soul Sword will grow stronger as the number of souls it carries increases .

Not only will it become more durable and sharper, but it will also emit a bizarre ghostly air, which will cause mental damage against living beings .

It can also ward off and damage ghost-like enemies .

Seregia’s soul alone has already awakened this effect . I’m not sure what effect it would have if tens of thousands of souls were loaded into it .

Of course, however, as long as Seregia does not agree with that, I don’t intend to force several souls into it .

There’s already a solitary tenant . I can’t force a cohabitant into it .

Even if I don’t load more souls in, it’s good enough .

I decided to discuss it with Seregia later .

[In the future, if you have time, have a talk with the little Wind Spirit . ]

“I see . ”

I answered tamely .

Because in front of Spirit King, it’s impossible to say that I won’t get in touch with the spirit in the future .

It felt like confronting my father-in-law and claiming that I wouldn’t take care of his daughter .

[Help God’s apostle to destroy the origin monster . ]

The information appeared in front of me .

It just repeats what I’ve seen before .

This has never happened before .

[Anyway, I think God can’t stand your conversation with me . ]

“Is that so?”

[Yes . More than half of the gods think so . Let’s go now . We can walk and talk . ]

With that, Spirit King turned to face the lake .

He went ahead .

With its faint legs .

“What are you doing, Mister?”

[What else can I do? Of course go in the direction of origin monster . ]

With a pace similar to that of a toddler .

Considering the power of the Spirit King, the distance from here to the lake should be the same as nothing .

Yet, he walked so slowly, but nonetheless moved according to the message . Moreover, he seemed to be purposely showing his procrastination .

I walked along with Spirit King’s slow pace .

“Can we do it like this?”

[Of course . This is not the first time they did this . Don’t worry . The God of Nature also ordered me to talk to you as much as possible before summoning me, so it’s okay . ]

The God of Nature .

It shouldn’t be such a kind God .

On the contrary, it should be a god who disliked me .

Because I have been burning, smashing and polluting everything around me for a long time, I could not help it though .

I speculated that the Spirit King, sent by the God of Nature, would distaste me, but he turned out to be more cordial than I thought .

[Don’t you have anything to ask me? There should be a lot . I can’t answer all your questions, but I can tell you quite a lot . Take this opportunity to ask what you want to know . ]

That is what he said .

There was no reason to refuse the opportunity, so I asked .

“What is the purpose of the tutorial?”

[The first is to provide challengers with the power to eliminate the origin and the second is to select the new apostle . That’s all I can tell you . I can’t tell you the third reason because you’ll be able to guess it by the end of this stage . ]

The apostle told me exactly what I wanted .

I stuffed this answer into my head and asked the second question .

“Is that the origin monster that has appeared on Earth?”

[That’s right . ]

“Why do Gods and their apostles not kill those monsters directly?”

This is my biggest question .

These gods created the tutorial, summoned people into a new world, let them grow, but why did they not interfere directly with the earth?

From the perspective of the tutorial’s design, these gods should have a profound understanding of the earth’s culture and customs .

Given the ability, the spare power, and the intelligence of the Earth, I wonder why they chose to summon challengers and force them to grow .

[I really can’t answer this question . To sum it up, it’s because if one God comes out, other gods may feel unhappy . ]

This is not a clear answer .

It’s an answer that requires careful consideration .

I need to ask Kiri Kiri once more .

Although she hadn’t answered me before, now that I’ve gotten a little information about it, she may give a different answer .

“Next question . What does God’s apostle need to do?”

[The third reason reason for the tutorial is what the apostle needs to accomplish . ]

This reply gives me a lot of inspiration .

What the apostle needs to do is established the tutorial’s third purpose .

And the second goal is to select the apostle .

That is to say, Gods use the tutorial to select an apostle, not simply to enhance combat effectiveness or for enjoyment, but to clearly indicate a task .

The apostle seems to have more meaning in the tutorial than expected .

“So what is an origin monster?”

[It will be easier to understand that reason when you eradicate the origin . It’s near the lake . Ask the last question . ]

There is a sound of water coming .

The giant monster swimming in the water tosses in the water and the lake rises waves and sounds .

“Is that all you have?”

[Do you mean my power?]

“Yes . ”

[Why on earth did you ask me this?]

“Please answer me . ”

My mind is a mess .

The unexpected happens one after another and more alarming information is pouring in .

I’m busy enough just remembering, sorting out, and analyzing the information .

But even so, I couldn’t easily concentrate on all this information .

Since Spirit King was summoned, my mind has been preoccupied by one thought .

Can I kill this Spirit King?

I think I can .
