THE BATTLE OF 1000 SPIRITS

CHAPTER 1: THE BATTLE OF 1000 SPIRITS

"Have you heard it? The battle of 1000 spirits this time was already getting crazier! Almost every day, the spirits would fight in various kingdoms and cities to make the guards and soldiers difficult!", said a man in a log cabin on the edge of a farm field.

Currently, 5 young men gathered in the hut. They were eating their lunch while talking about some shocking things recently. Based on the mud on their bodies, it can be seen that they were young people working in the farm fields near the cottage.

Hearing what his friend was talking about, another man who was busy eating his lunch started to stop "I've heard it! 1 Year had passed since the battle of 1000 official spirits began, it was not strange that chaos had already occurred around the world due to the power of those spirits. After all no matter how powerful warriors or magicians were, they were not spirit opponents at all".

The man who spoke at the beginning continued to reply "Even though I heard the spirits bring chaos from their fight, but everyone chosen as their master is able to control the power of the spirits! Many people who were spirit masters used their strength to become rich or powerful, truly envious! If I were to become the master of a spirit as well, I would definitely no longer need to live in a small village like this and could go to big cities in order to gain power or wealth using spirit power".

His other friend immediately said "Don't dream too much, every spirit will kill each other to become the ultimate victor in the Golden Mountain! As long as we dare to follow the battle of 1000 spirits, we will definitely be killed by another enemy! Rather than living with the high possibility of dying every day, wouldn't it be better to live in the peace of the village like we are now? After collecting enough money from the fields, we can find a woman in the village and get married and have a family! Such a peaceful life was much better than being on the battlefield. What do you think Myro? As someone who's been through war, you must have answers like me, right?".

The 4 people in the cottage immediately stared towards a young man of about 20 years old near them.

Unlike the other 4 people, this young man named Myro has short black hair and scratches on his face.

A terrifying aura could be felt on his entire body, as long as there was a warrior from the battlefield who sensed the aura, they must have known that this aura belonging to Myro was the aura of a warrior who had gone through a bloody battlefield.

Without going through the battlefield of life and death, it would be impossible to have such a sharp aura as felt on Myro's body right now.

The man who had a terrifying aura was named Myro Aras, a soldier from the Barga Kingdom.

Myro once sat in the position of captain of 10 people until finally the Kingdom of Barga was defeated by the Kingdom of Talem, the village where Myro is now part of the Kingdom of Talem.

After his kingdom was defeated, Myro who was only a captain of 10 soldiers lost all his troops on the battlefield.

Even Myro was heavily wounded by the war, fortunately he managed to get through the enemy siege and went to the village where he was now.

When Myro comes full of wounds, he hides in the village to keep the villagers out of sight while healing his wounds.

When the wound was healed, Myro showed himself in the village and was considered a mercenary who decided to retire by the residents.

The village is short of manpower, especially cultivating the fields.

Because of this, they received Myro and gave him a place to live.

Seeing that the villagers did not ask much about his identity because the Talem Kingdom became peaceful after defeating the Barga Kingdom which made the residents no longer suspicious of immigrants, Myro finally joined as a villager.

Every day, Myro works to cultivate the fields and help the villagers so that the residents are more friendly to Myro.

Myro put his exhausted lunch on the floor before saying "War is not a good thing! At least without a strong determination, I advise you not to go to war! Moreover, a battle of 1000 spirits is riskier than a war, even level 4 and above magicians can be killed by the spirits, not to mention us who are just inhabitants without power? Even my level 2 strength is nothing compared to spirit power".

In this world, both warriors and magicians have a level of strength that is divided into the strongest, namely level 9 and the weakest, level 1.

But there was another weaker one from tier 1 which was tier 0, they were residents who had never practiced fighting before.

Myro who was at level 2 was at least able to defeat 100 level 0 armed soldiers using his bare hands, however Myro was once a captain. Without strength or background, it would be impossible for a captain.

With 1 slash or strength from rank 4, they were able to kill thousands of people without any problems.

Therefore, a figure who was ranked 4th had a chance of becoming the leader of a 1000-man army.

But in a battle of 1000 spirits, countless rank 4 and below figures were killed in the fight.

Even according to some legends, there were some rank 8 or 9 who died in spirit fights.

Compared to the strength of rank 8 and 9, Myro who was ranked 2 was not their opponent at all, so Myro had no interest in following the battle of 1000 spirits.

The battle of 1000 spirits is a fight between 1000 strong figures who are referred to as spirits with their master, if the spirit has a master.

No one knows where these spirits came from, but they appear every hundred to thousands of years and are recorded in history books so that people know a lot about the fight of 1000 spirits.

Different from humans, each spirit has its own unique power that can bring disaster or great chaos to a city and even a kingdom.

Every time 1000 spirits appeared, they must have the same goal of going to the Golden Mountain located at the center of the world and fighting against other spirits.

Every time they encounter another spirit, they will fight each other.

As for the reason why the spirits fought, many people did not know the reason, nor did Myro.

Although the battle of 1000 spirits is a battle of spirits, some spirits often choose their own masters among humans.

As long as they find the right person, the spirit decides to acknowledge the person to be its master and make a contract between them.

The moment that person agreed to become the master of spirits, they had to follow the fight of 1000 spirits.

Even so, Myro once read a book that not all spirits have masters. Some spirits seem to have such a powerful force that it is disdainful to acknowledge man as its master, so he will not admit anyone to being his master until he gets to the Golden Mountain for the final battle where all the surviving spirits gather.

There was actually still a lot of other information regarding spirit fighting, but Myro was only a captain of 10 troops and was now a villager so he knew nothing more about the 1000 spirit battle.

What most people knew was that after becoming the master of the spirit, that person could use their spirit power to fight according to their decision as the master.

Therefore, there are so many people who are ambitious to get spirits and follow the fight of 1000 spirits.

They plan to gain the power of spirit loyalty and control their power, whether for wealth or power.

It is not known how many people from princes, generals of a kingdom, ministers, rich merchants to powerless residents who try their luck to find spirits and try to make the spirits recognize them as masters.

But not a few of those who fail and die are killed by spirits because they are considered disturbing or killed by other humans during the journey.
