Thunder God's Reincarnation

Chapter 259

Nestled within the heart of the Logan Mountain Range, the Fire Elves tribe inhabited a scorching basin. This basin, enveloped by massive flames akin to a folding screen, acted as a protective enclosure for the Fire Elves tribe. The towering flames formed like walls, safeguarding the Fire Elves within.

Leveraging their mastery over fire spirits, the Fire Elves possessed the ability to unleash potent attacks utilizing the surrounding flames. This control over fire granted them a formidable defense, dissuading high-ranked monsters such as Behemoths or Drakes from venturing into the village of the Fire Elves.

While Wyverns possessed the ability to soar over the wall of fire and enter the basin, the Fire Elves skillfully harnessed the flames enveloping the basin for a potent long-range, anti-flight assault. The formidable power of their attacks made it challenging for Wyverns to approach and engage the Fire Elves directly.

The strategic use of their defenses allowed the Fire Elves to lead a peaceful existence within the burning basin. For centuries, no human had ventured into the basin, not because it was intentionally blocked off, but simply because there had been no humans inclined to explore its fiery depths.

Yet, a shift occurred as a human, Mu-Gun, made his way into the burning basin. Accompanied by Fraus and Olaf, Mu-Gun discovered and entered the fiery enclave.

Kaison Helios, the chief of the Fire Elves, gladly allowed the three to visit.

Seeing that the chiefs of two Elf tribes came with Yupirs representative, you must have something important to talk about.

Kaison was well aware that Mu-Gun, accompanied by the two Elf chiefs, did not venture into the burning basin merely for a casual visit.

I have a favor to ask you, Sir Kaison.

You want to ask me to let you meet Sarman, the Fire Spirit King, right? Kaison was able to guess Mu-Guns request without listening to him finish.

Sensing the presence of the Spirit Kings emanating from Mu-Gun, Kaison discerned that Mu-Gun had formed contracts with three Spirit Kings. Intuitively, Kaison surmised that Mu-Gun's purpose in visiting was to complete the quartet by forging a contract with the last Spirit King the Fire Spirit King Sarman.

Thats right.

It seems like you are trying to sign a contract with all four Spirit Kings.

I hope to be able to do that.

Thats truly amazing. We, the Elves, have not been chosen by the Spirit Kings for the past hundreds of years, but you were chosen by not just one, but three Spirit Kings. Kaison said.

Rather than because I was amazing, it was an inevitable decision for the sake of eradicating the Demon God.

Even if it couldnt be helped, it means that there is no being greater than you among the elves. Kaison smiled bitterly.

The elves excellence is acknowledged by all human beings. The Spirit Kings would definitely know better than anyone else about the elves excellence.

You dont have to comfort us. The Spirit Kings chose you as their contractor for a good reason, so I will accept your request and help you to meet the Fire Spirit King Sarman. Of course, I cannot guarantee that the great Sarman will respond to your call.

Thank you.

Even if we began preparing for the Spirit Summoning Array immediately, we will need a day to prepare. In the meantime, stay here. The two of you should make yourself comfortable too, Fraus and Olaf.

Thank you.

Responding to Kaison's call, a Fire Elf standing outside was summoned to guide Mu-Gun and his companions to their lodgings. Accompanied by the Fire Elf guide, Mu-Gun and the other two settled comfortably into their accommodations, awaiting the completion of the Spirit Summoning Array.

The following day, upon learning of the completion of the Spirit Summoning Array, Mu-Gun, led by a Fire Elf, made his way to the Origin of Fire situated at the northern edge of the burning basin. This sacred spot marked the inception of the fiery surroundings, and it was where the Fire Spirit King Sarman slumbered.

Arriving at the Origin of Fire, where the Spirit Summoning Array was meticulously arranged within a vast sea of flames, Mu-Gun, well-acquainted with the procedure, strode confidently to the array's center. Without delay, the Fire High Elves initiated the Spirit Summoning Array.

The Spirit Summoning Array sprang to life seamlessly, and the gateway to the Spirit Realm swung open. Mu-Gun could sense the immense energy emanating from the Spirit Realm, unmistakably belonging to Sarman, the Fire Spirit King.

In the sacred Language of the Gods, Mu-Gun entreated Sarman, the Fire Spirit King, to materialize in the mortal realm. Almost immediately, a colossal fire giant materialized before Mu-Gun's eyes.

Appearing in the imposing form of a fire giant, the Fire Spirit King Sarman exuded a power surpassing that of the other three Spirit Kings. His presence radiated an intense flame and heat, seemingly capable of incinerating anything in its vicinity.

Sarman looked surprised after seeing through the energy contained in Mu-Gun at a glance.

-Amazing. Not just the Sky God Yupirs divinity, you even signed a contract with three Spirit Kings.

Its still not enough. Signing a contract with you, the Fire Spirit King will be the finishing touch.

-You are too greedy. If you sign a contract with all the four Spirit Kings, you will gain the Spirit God Vaharas divinity. Do you think you are qualified?

I dont know if I am qualified. I am only doing everything I can to stop the Demon God, and to protect Avalon. You can judge for yourself whether I deserve the Spirit God Vaharas divinity or not.

-What if I judge that you are not qualified?

It would be a pity, but I will have to step down. If you do not want to, I cannot forcefully sign a contract with you. However, you will have to take responsibility for the consequences that happen from not choosing me.

-Are you threatening me right now?

Sarman said, thinking that Mu-Gun was being impertinent.

Mu-Gun did not give in to Sarmans pace and replied,

I am not threatening you. I am just afraid that Avalon would be destroyed as I would not be able to stop the Demon God due to my lack of strength.

-It sounds to me like it is my responsibility if Avalon is destroyed by the Demon God.

What is clear is that if you sign a contract with me, and I become able to borrow your strength, it will increase my chances of stopping the Demon God.

-Hoooh. Your desire to stop the Demon God is quite amazing. I guess thats why the almighty Sky God Yupir chose you as their representative.

Adding on to that point, if you cannot trust me, believe in the Sky God Yupir and lend me your strength.

Sarman took a glimpse at the Fire High Elves staring at them from outside the Spirit Summoning Array. f(r)eeweb(n)ovel

-Pathetic fools.

Sarman held great esteem for the elves, and if any of them had possessed the qualifications to form a contract with him, he would have gladly done so. However, none of the elves could withstand his strength. The current circumstance, where he had to forge a contract with Mu-Gun, a human, instead of the cherished elves, left him displeased.

Despite his reservations, Sarman found himself compelled to adhere to the will of the Spirit God Vahara. Refusing to sign a contract with Mu-Gun during the descent of the Demon God would be in direct opposition to this divine directive. Thus, reluctantly, Sarman had no alternative but to forge a contract with Mu-Gun.

No matter the case, there was no one more perfect or qualified than Mu-Gun.

-As you say, stopping the Demon God is an absolute mission we received from the almighty Vahara. So, I will sign a contract with you.

Thank you.

Sarman added the same conditions as Nordic, the Earth Spirit King.

-However, our contract will automatically be terminated as soon as the Demon God is eradicated. If you agree to it, I will sign a contract with you.

It didnt matter to Mu-Gun at all. He only needed the power of the Spirit Kings to eradicate the Demon God anyway.

I will gladly do so.

-Then, lets proceed with the contract right away.

Upon Mu-Gun's consent, Sarman promptly initiated the spirit contract, and the process concluded smoothly without any complications.

As a result, Mu-Gun successfully formed contracts with all four Spirit Kings. Such an event had never occurred since the birth of the four Spirit Kings by the divine will of the Spirit God Vahara.

Having sealed the contract with Sarman, Mu-Gun, accompanied by the Fire High Elves, made his way back to the capital of the Valencia Kingdom.

Upon Mu-Gun's return to the Valencia Kingdom's capital, he was warmly greeted by the paladins, the Avalon Knights, and the other elves eagerly awaiting his arrival. The news of Mu-Gun successfully forming a spirit contract with Sarman brought immense joy, as his growing strength heightened the prospect of triumph over the impending threat of the Demon God.

What do you plan to do now? Saintess Maria asked Mu-Gun.

Im thinking of meeting the Dragons.

Mu-Gun planned to enter Gods boundary, where the Dragons were trapped.

What are you going to do if the Dragons are hostile to you, Lord Argon?

If they are hostile, I will also regard them as enemies.

Are you able to handle the power of Dragons?

Although the Dragons are strong, its not impossible to deal with them since I have gained the power of the Sky God Yupir and the four Spirit Kings.

We will go with you too, Lord Argon.

We will follow you too.

Philford of the Avalon Order and Luke from the Paladin Order of the Yupir Church declared their intention to venture into God's boundary alongside Mu-Gun.

We elves will go with you too. The Elves also expressed their intention to join Mu-Gun.

I am grateful for your feelings, but will enter Gods boundary by myself.

I cant let you take the risk alone, Philford said, insisting to follow him by any means.

I understand how you guys feel, but Dragons are incomparably more powerful than Drakes or Wyverns. It will be hard to stop the Dragons attacks with your strength. If we end up fighting the Dragons, you will all die. Mu-Gun said firmly.

If we were afraid of death, we wouldnt have stepped forward in the fight against the Demon God in the first place.

I know. However, now is not the time. When your strength is really needed, please put your life on the line. I alone am enough to meet the Dragons.

However, if, on the off chance, something goes wrong within Gods boundary, Avalon will not be able to escape destruction. Even if we all lose our lives, it will be beneficial for Avalon if that means we can save you, said Fraus, the Ice Elf chief.

He intended to act as a shield to buy time for Mu-Gun to run away if he was in danger due to the battle with the Dragons.

"With all due respect, if my life is in danger, even if all of you join me in the fight against the Dragons, the outcome won't change. I hate to admit it, but your skills won't even buy us a moment's delay. Inside Gods boundary, you won't sway the tide of battle; you'll only risk your lives in vain."

Philford, Luke, and the Elf chiefs found themselves unable to counter Mu-Gun's comments. As Grand Master Knights, they were among the strongest in Avalon.

Yet, their strength paled in comparison to beings with divinity. In the face of Dragons imbued with such divine power, their abilities would prove insignificant.

Fine, as you say, we will stay here since we wont be of help anyway. Instead, promise us that you will definitely come back safe and sound, said Philford as there was nothing else he could do.

Dont worry. Who am I? I am the Sky God Yupirs representative and the contractor of the four Spirit Kings. As long as I have gained the Sky God Yupir and the Spirit God Vaharas divinity, even the Dragons wont be able to harm me. Mu-Gun said confidently, telling them not to worry.

Then, we will stay here and prepare for the fight against the Demon God.

Please do so, Mu-Gun said.

Are you going to go right away?

I must hurry because the Demon God might win over the Dragons first.

Okay.

Having bid farewell to the knights and elves, Mu-Gun made his way toward the nearest Gods boundary beyond the Logan Mountain Range. As he reached the edge of the Logan Mountain Range, a massive surge of energy surrounded a distant mountain. This expansive peak, extending beyond the four Mountain Ranges, was known as the Dragon Mountain Rangethe domain of the Dragons.

Initially connected to the Avalon continent, the Dragon Mountain Range had become a secluded land, sealed off by Gods boundarya punishment for aligning with the Demon God's forces.

For more than a thousand years, the Dragons remained confined within the Dragon Mountain Range. Only individuals bestowed with the divinity of two out of the three Gods responsible for establishing the boundary had the power to unlock it.

Mu-Gun acquired the divinity of the Sky God Yupir by becoming their representative. Additionally, in this instance, he secured the divinity of the Spirit God Vahara after entering into a contract with the four Spirit Kings.

In all of Avalon, Mu-Gun stood as the sole entity capable of unsealing the barrier obstructing access to the Dragon Mountain Range. He approached Gods boundary, an unseen force invisible to the naked eye.

Nevertheless, with Mu-Gun activating the Thunder God's Heavenly Eyes, the boundary became visible to him. The key to unlocking Gods boundary lay in the divinity of the Gods responsible for creating it. It would open when the divinity of at least two Gods was projected onto it.

Every divinity held its distinct characteristics, impossible for anyone to replicate. Regardless of a God's might, unlocking the boundary was reserved for those who had a hand in its creation.

Mu-Gun stretched out both hands toward Gods boundary, unleashing the divinity of the two Gods upon it. The boundary, acknowledging the presence of the Sky God Yupir and the Spirit God Vahara's divinity, began to resonate intensely.

By Mu-Guns will, a section of the boundary yielded, and the door to the Dragon Mountain Range was unlocked.contemporary romance
