Before the forest darkens, Kalax returns to the base.
Since he was the leader of the Orcs, he could not stay for too long.
When she asked if I would come back with her, I told her that I would stay here longer.
"I can't sleep."
I'm like someone who suffers from insomnia because I can't sleep.
I was so tired that my eyes closed naturally, but for some reason, they opened not long after.
"Hooooooowl !!"
I heard wolves howling deep in the forest.
As soon as the cold night breeze touched My skin, I pulled the blanket I was using.
Moments later, a white breath came out of my mouth.
"I'm not trying hard."
Tunga offered me to stay in the cottage where the witches lived and told me to rest there.
However, since I was rejected by many spirits, I felt depressed.
In the end, I turned down his offer and now I'm here.
Pride I won't let Me go to the cottage, so I decided to endure it all night.
"Maybe I should exercise."
Since midnight, I consider it a new day and stand up from the tree where I lean.
If I walk into the forest, I'll find wild beasts hunting to fill their stomachs.
It's easy to knock them down, but I don't feel like using my gun in the middle of the night.
There's only one place I can go.
In the highlands, the spirits that play in the afternoon are no longer there.
They also need rest.
However, not all of them were asleep and there were spirits still roaming around.
The spirits were not like the low-level young spirits because they lived much longer than they did.
Even in the silent darkness, the light that was around them shone like moonlight.
"… Oh."
Out of the spirit, there are people who are interested in me because of which I released earlier.
However, they do not show the same interest.
They were disappointed with their conversation with Me and now look at Me with empty eyes.
"I'm not interested in spells anymore. So, don't look at me like that."
As I have said, I have no plans to stay after meeting the Great Spirit.
I completely lost the desire to learn the power of spells as well.
Asking for someone's help and borrowing that power doesn't suit me.
I will make the spirits surrender and make them slaves of Me or ask them to exploit their power so that I can learn it, but it is dangerous.
Making them my enemies meant that my relationship with the Orcs would be ruined as well.
Even if I have a good relationship after reclaiming the base.
I can't break a relationship that takes a long time to build.
Moreover, even if it did not use spells, there might be other ways to use mana.
There is magic, which is easier than what they use.
The explosion!!
Just then, as if there was an earthquake, I felt a great shock at My feet.
The Great Spirit, who was asleep deep in the ground, appeared.
"We meet again."
The Great Spirit gently touched his long beard that looked like a root and spoke softly.
I was intimidated by their overwhelming presence.
"Ha ha, there's no reason to be afraid. Follow me."
In a friendly tone, the Great Spirit led me somewhere.
It seemed like the Great Spirit really wanted me to follow him, so I did it without complaint.
It was then that I felt a group of spirits staring at my back.
The spirits that were still awake looked at me with envy.
There are high cliffs on the plateau and it seems that's where he leads me.
I used my hands to get rid of the vines blocking the way.
"Have you heard my conversation before?"
Even though he didn't ask, I ended up bringing up the events that happened earlier.
To dispel the feeling of loneliness that I have, I end up saying what's on My mind first.
I also want to hear his thoughts because he is known as the Father of the Spirit.
"You will find things that will work well with you and things that will not. You do not have to force yourself to learn it and you are not obliged to learn it either. I'm sure there's a different path for you."
Since it was a clear suggestion, I have nothing to say.
After that, we continued walking quietly.
There was an uneven uphill road and although it was steep, we had no trouble climbing it.
"Why are you asking to see me again?"
"That's because there's something I want to give you. No, to be exact, it can only be given when you can get it."
The Great Spirit makes a puzzling statement, but I'm not trying to figure out what he's trying to say.
A few moments later, we approached the cliff.
The more steps we took, the more I could see what the Great Spirit was talking about when he said there was something he wanted to give Me.
"Even before I was born, it was here as if they had this place."
The thing that the Great Spirit meant was a lonely spear.
"It was also called the Living Thunder and when I first saw it, it was nothing more than an ordinary stick. When the wooden stick absorbed the spirit power little by little, it turned into that."
"Nobody tried to get him out?"
"There are other humans like you who try, but once they touch it, they all turn to ashes."
"I'll change the same way. Maybe."
The electricity that the spear released was a power that even I could not handle.
Like the Great Spirit mentioned, the spear looked like it had just fallen from the sky and pierced into the ground and maintained its current form.
"Like us, the spear also has its own will. One cannot use only by force."
"Is there a requirement?"
"I'm not sure."
They don't know yet, they told me to pull it?
Even if it's a powerful weapon, I can't touch it.
"When I first saw you, you and the spear gave the same feeling. If it was you, I'm sure it's possible."
I understood his intention and a frown appeared on my face.
"I got this far because I chose to be alone. I'm not lonely like a spear there."
"I know."
They smile as if they know everything, which makes me feel even more unhappy.
"I have good grades and am good at answering those who try to speak to me. Whenever there's an event, like a track meet, I do my best so that my team can win. Whenever we have a group project, I try my best to work with a disruptive member. I also take good care of the information I need. "
I'm getting upset and I don't even know what I'm talking about.
All the things I speak of happen in reality, so it is filled with things that the Great Spirit does not know.
However, the Great Spirit calmly touched his long beard and looked at me as if they understood.
"There are certainly times when I feel lonely. When I get off on an island unhindered, floating in the sea or standing in front of a grave, I think about those things. But in the end, I think I made the right decision by surviving on my own. If there is someone who follows Me and annoys Me, is My head still intact? "
After saying all this with one breath, that was when I could breathe.
"Then you will be able to prove it by pulling the spear."
"…OK." Okay."
I lost my mind and accepted his offer without questioning it.
I even hoped that I would die after touching that lightning-shaped skewer.
"… You are amazing."
As I approached the spear, My body began to tremble.
Even though I lacked emotion, I could not help feeling that the power of the spear was attractive.
At the current stage, the best weapon was the one held by Master Kalax and it was a custom-made item created by a master.
Blacksmiths have so many orders, that their customers have to wait at least two months.
the current 20 stages were made and that custom-made weapon was Rank Four, which was considered the best.
The price of a Rank Four item was extremely expensive and most of the holders were high ranked.
Through the famous video site, I admired the weapon.
It felt like the energy of the weapon penetrated the computer screen and enveloped my entire body.
It was the power of a Rank Four weapon.
But it seemed like this spear had some sort of stronger potential than a Rank Four weapon.
Zaaaap !!
Electricity was released from the tip of the spear and touched my finger.
But, it doesn't hurt.
Because I don't like wasting time, I'm taking the handle.
Zaaaap !!
The powerful electricity felt like a real lightning strike and hit the cliff very hard.
The spear sucked up the mana in me as if it was food.
The pain I felt, my nerves burning and saliva and snot running down my face.
"D. d.a.m.n that's !!"
I cursed and I tried to release the spear that stuck to Me, but it was useless.
"… Shut up !! Let me pull you !!!"
Zaaaap !!
It was so painful that I forgot why I was holding the spear.
I finally pulled it out and when the information window popped up, it showed that it was mine.
Lightning Bolt Rival (??) (??) (??) – Owner Kang Jin Woo
Since no information is displayed on the screen, I know that the Manager did not create it.
I put aside the thought that something was wrong and saw a Great Spirit approaching Me.
"… Do you understand the meaning of pulling a spear?"
I don't have the energy to answer.
Darkness filled my eyes and I lost consciousness.
