The Seven Monster Spirit

Chapter 21 - The Soul Contract

"WRAAUUU"

The sound of the roar of agony of stone monsters filled the forest. Due to Neron's quick slash, the body of the stone monster getting the line wound on the right, the Guard Leafs were shocked because of the attack, Rein looked annoyed, Elnad gaped at what he saw and only Elvinia smiled.

['Hey boy, your ability to use the sword is still not much, do not overdo it'] The warning from Artaros directly reached Neron's brain.

"You're right, but Hazel can use this sword well" Neron said using telepathy.

The reason why Vrodast's ability did not come out well was because Neron did not drain his Mananya into the sword, so its power did not come out completely. The words of Artaros before, made Neron know that he who is now, has not been able to use this sword well.

Elnad who saw Neron's sword knew that it was not an ordinary sword, but a dastanis sword, one of the 12 Legendary Swords, a world-class Weapon 'Why can that child have a world-class weapon?' such a question was thought of in Elnad's head.

"Elnad, command the troops!! don't just shut up, the monster will attack" the cry of Elvinia woke Elnad from his daydream.

"Prakk"

'Focus don't think about unnecessary things' Elnad told himself, The elf patted his cheek firmly to stay focused.

"TEAM, keep your distance from the monster, make a long-range attack!!" Elnad's orders to the Guard Leaf.

The pain from Neron's attack reached the body of the stone monster, the attack from the Elves earlier was just like a small breeze for the creature, but the attack of Elvinia and Neron was now completely felt for him. Stripping his foot to the ground, the monster caused a strong wave on the ground that caused the surrounding trees to fall within about 10 m, Neron and the other Elves to instantly keep their distance.

['Hey boy, just undo your intention to take his soul']

"Why? what reason?" ask Neron in surprise

[I know that Monster, he is a monster named Leiron, The monster has a very hard skin even though so the path is very slow'] Artaros said giving an explanation to Neron.

"Keep, what does this have to do with me not taking his soul?"

['The creature is stupid, he will not do the soul contract and also if you kill the creature, his body will make this forest damaged, he said, since the body of the monster can emit deadly foul gas, there's no reason for you to stay here'].

"There is still, if it is like that, I must return the favor to my savior, so the Black Dragon.I need your help, please use your magic" Neron's words made the monster inside him smile.

['alright, but you must obey my words and I will take over your right hand'] A requirement was given to Neron and the boy agreed.

The stone monsters now used magic that made the surrounding land become a pointed ground that attacked the Leaf Guard troops as well as Neron, but fortunately they were able to evade the attack.

This time it was the Elves' turn to attack, they once again used the arrow attacks from their create magic, and once again the attacks were ineffective against the stone monsters.

"We can't continue like this Elnad, there must be a weak point in the body of the creature" Elvinia told Elnad, The male elf racked his brain in search of an idea to defeat the monster in front of him.

"are you sure?" Ask Neron

['I told you to follow my words, just trust the boy']

Neron did not reply, but somehow he felt that the monster in his body was trustworthy.

"Sister Elvinia, I have a plan"

Neron went to Elvinia to inform Elnad and Elvinia of his plans and they were ready to carry out Neron's plans, although Elvinia was slightly opposed but Neron managed to convince her.

The boy then went to the place where the white wolf was preparing to attack and put his hand on the head of the white wolf.

"Will this work?" neron asked about the communication of the two Monsters, namely the Wind Wolf and the Black Dragon in Neron's body.

After which the White Wolf instantly excited and howled towards the stone monster.

['See it works']

"What did you say?"

['Don't ask a lot of boys, let's start quickly']

Neron and the white wolf prepared to attack the stone monster, the boy attacked the foot of the stone monster on the right using the Vrodast Sword and upon reaching the back of the stone monster, the boy attacked the foot of the stone monster on the right, the boy gave the white wolf a cue to attack.

"groan"

Neron and the white wolf alternately attacked, Neron at Right and the wolf attacked the left leg of the stone monster, sword attacks and claws made a wound on the monster's legs even though it was only a little, and the wolf attacked the left leg of the stone monster, and now it was the Elves' turn to attack.

"The Guard Leaf, point your arrows at the feet of the wounded monster, Attack!!" the command from the captain of the Leaf Guard made the Elf army attack the feet of the wounded monster. The rain of arrows made the stone Monster in pain even the earth magic attack could not the monster use to retaliate.

Neron ran, his hand turned black and scaly like a dragon, but now that it was just his right hand, he opened the portal using space magic and made a gate behind the stone monster, which was a stone, Neron takes a powerful kick and causes the stone monster to enter the gate, which is the plan but when Neron kicks the monster, it is, the stone monster was only slightly raised which could be considered as standing and it was used as an opportunity by the stone monster to use its magic.

"Bumm"

A small pointed ground was created around the monster and hit the white wolf until it pierced through its stomach, and not only was the larger pointed ground attacking towards Neron but the boy managed to dodge it which caused the magic of the land until the Elves were in the village, and fortunately there were no Elves in the village because they had all been displaced.

"LITTLE WOLF....... NERON" Shouted Elvinia

['The plan failed, you were too weak a boy'] The black Dragon's Eject, but Neron knew that was the reality.

['You mean the wolf?, don't joke boy, the monster is weak, I didn't tell you to look for the soul of a strong Monster'] Artaros explained once again.

"I'm sure the Monster's soul is strong and also every strength depends on the wearer, so trust me" Neron said

['As far as you go'] said Artaros lazily, Neron running towards the white wolf behind the stone monster, the gate has closed.

Crouching in front of the white wolf, Neron said "Will you tie a contract with me?" asked Neron gently as he extended his hand.

The white wolf only looked at the human child weakly.

"I'm sure, if we combine forces, the stone monsters can be defeated and this Elf village can survive.......then Little wolf, will you help me to become even stronger?" Neron said softly. The white wolf only answered "Woooof" weakly, and then slowly he received Neron's helping hand using his wolf's leg, the wolf's body slowly became a small light and seemed to enter Neron's body, as if it had been, the human child felt a different power.

['Hey Boy, name the Monster that you have signed a contract with'] Artaros said straight to Neron's brain.

"Yes name" Neron thought for a while, then said "how about....Loiruses"

['I like it'] Said the white wolf that was now inside Neron's body.

"He can speak" Neron said slightly surprised.

['When you tie the contract and give it a name, the monster will get stronger and smarter'] Artaros explained.

"Alright, Loirus lend me your strength" Neron concentrated and increased his focus.

"Tranformation: Wolf Soul, Loirus"

Simultaneously with those words, the Aura around Neron changed, the wind became fierce with lightning sparks coming out of his body and in the sky Black clouds covered the forest. Neron's body grew bluish-white fur and his head became the head of a wolf, in an instant the human child became a wolf monster.

The Elves who were in that place felt an extremely powerful Aura that was sourced from the human child or the newly-emerged monster, either, However, the Stone Monster still walked towards the Elf village and meanwhile the level of vigilance of the Elves increased to Neron.

"Captain, Give your orders, please order us to kill those two Monsters" Rein said frantically, not only him, the other Elves also felt fear upon seeing Neron.

While Elnad was confused about what he should do as a captain, did he have to direct the troops to monsters that would attack the village or dangerous monsters that had just appeared?, that confusion was Elnad's weakness as captain and caused his troops to lose confidence.

'The little wolf died and then Neron absorbed it, so the monster was Neron' Elvinia's mind was trying to digest what happened.

"Loir we begin"

['Good']

Neron dashed quickly and then jumped past the stone monster, as it descended he used his claws to attack the monster, the claws enveloped by the blue lightning managed to hit the monster's head and gave a wound that made the monster roar in pain.

The stone monster used its magic that spewed out a pointed ground towards Neron, but Neron destroyed the magic that was pointing at him using the blue lightning that was released from his claws.

"The black dragon is now your turn" said Neron, who was already preparing for his next assignment.

['Don't fail again boy'] said Artaros.

Neron's right hand turned into black scales with claws like before, but now he was in the form of a wolf monster. Gate appeared behind the stone monster and once again Neron forced his enemy into it, Neron made an attack after attack so that the stone monster was pushed into the gate, and all those attacks came to fruition as the back of the stone monster had already entered slightly, Neron prepared to make a final strike.

Directing his hand towards the sky, lightning struck Neron's hand from the black clouds above.

"Soul Wolf: Lightning Claw"

The lightning claw attack aimed directly at the stone monster, so that the monster was pushed into the gate.

"where did you send him ?" asked Neron a little curious.

['Four Should'] replied the black dragon briefly.

Neron's body returned to being human again, merging only briefly but his body was extremely exhausted, it was now time to celebrate the victory or should it be the case, but the Leaf Guard pointed his arrow at Neron.

"It feels like deja vu"

['What are they doing? it's not that we've helped them'] Loirus asked confusedly.

['Not all good is repaid with good things either, and whatever you do in the eyes of the person who hates you is still wrong'] Artaros said as if he had expected what would happen.

"Wait, this boy has saved our village from the monster, put down your weapons" Elvinia went down and went to Neron and said to convince her race, but Rein denied what Elvinia said.

"The horror of Elvinia even though that child has saved us, he can turn into a monster anytime, that child is too dangerous if it continues to be here" Rein and the other Elves also supported his words.

"But I guarantee Nero-"

Not long before Elvinia could finish her sentence, Neron cut her off and said "They are right, Brother Elvinia" Neron stepped in front of the Elf Girl and continued, "I and the white wolf will leave this forest" Neron tried to set his goal "I'll go back to where my Ras was, Thank you for saving me and also teaching me. I'm grateful to be able to meet you brother" Neron turned to Elvinia briefly and said "see you, I hope we meet again".

Neron then ran west of the forest to the Zairl Continent, where the human race was.

Looking at Neron's back away, Elvinia tried to reach him but her hand seemed to stop, she felt Neron had already chosen his way, so she couldn't stop him and in her heart she said "Until now.....I've never seen you smile"
