644.

-A spirit of the deep sea?

Ista, who was about the size of Leo’s palm, raised her eyes.

Undine, the spirit of the deep sea.

As a Great Spirit of Water, she had competed with Ista for the title of the strongest spirit of the current era.

At first, Ista was overwhelmingly stronger.

The measure that defines a Great Spirit’s strength includes not only the Great Spirit’s power but also the forces they command.

As such, it was natural that Ista’s forces were stronger, having lived for much longer.

Ista of that time had devastated Undine’s domain.

-That’s why they became mortal enemies.

When Larel made a disdainful expression, Elsi looked puzzled.

-Why did you do such a terrible thing?

-I suppose you could call it a struggle for supremacy?

When Ista muttered with a troubled face, Larel spoke.

-You probably did it because she was being arrogant.

-Spirit of Radiance! How can you make such false accusations and distort my image in front of the boss…

-If Elsi says one word, those spirits who used to serve under you would spill everything, wouldn’t they?

At Larel’s words, Ista fell silent.

-Oh my. I feel sorry for the spirit of the deep sea.

-But anyway, the spirit of the deep sea is just the same kind of spirit.

Larel said sharply.

-The spirit of the deep sea bullies other spirits too.

-That’s right! Boss! That spirit is a purely evil spirit!

At Larel’s words, Ista acted coquettishly.

After being subdued by Elsi.

Ista had become Elsi’s lapdog.

It was because of the overwhelming difference in power with Elsi, even before being a senior Great Spirit from ages past.

The authority of dominion that can exert control over spirits of the same attribute and lower rank.

Elsi’s authority of dominion transcends other spirits.

An authority that is exercised not simply on spirits of lower attributes, but on spirits of all attributes.

It’s even the ability to steal lower spirits from other Great Spirits.

Having lost all her forces, Ista had no choice but to act coquettishly toward Elsi to survive.

-Undine’s evil deeds are also too terrible to speak of! The great and noble boss must punish that evil spirit! I, Ista the Purification Spirit! I will become your sword and liberate the suffering water spirits from that wicked spirit of the deep sea!

Ista spoke forcefully.

The reason she stepped forward so enthusiastically was simple.

‘Let’s die together.’

She had already been ruined.

She had lost her stronghold and had to live while reading the mood of her former subordinate spirits.

It was unfair.

So the spirit of the deep sea, whom she hated most in the world, should also end up in the same situation as herself.

-A so-called Great Spirit of Fire using a drowning ghost strategy.

-Stay out of this, old hag.

At Ista’s words, he could feel commotion arising from over there.

-Let go! I’ll just kill her! Let me kill her!

-That anger! Couldn’t you release it on me? Haah… Haah…

It seemed like Ati was blocking Larel, who was trying to burst out from where Leo’s summons were gathered.

‘Elsi.’

-Yes, Leo.

‘You need to catch me sometime and educate the kids.’

-Hmm… I’ll try my best.

Leo sighed softly and looked at Runba.

“A fire spirit? It looks unusual.”

Runba looked at the fire spirit on Leo’s palm with an incredulous expression.

The size of a palm-sized lower spirit.

It was different from the usual round-featured lower spirits.

A spirit that showed off its upper body as if flaunting its small but clearly visible solid muscles.

‘If The Power guys saw this, they’d probably shout approval immediately.’

Runba shook his head, thinking of Lumern’s physical training club, ‘The Power’.

‘Whether its appearance is unusual or not, since it’s a spirit Leo summoned… I should be tense…’

-That is…!

At that moment, Undine from beyond consciousness, who had been showing a lukewarm reaction, showed a sharp response.

‘Huh? Undine?’

Kwaaaaaa-!

The water streams swirling around Runba began to gather in one place, and a beautiful girl revealed herself.

An upper body with ivory-colored skin and a fish’s lower body.

It was the appearance of a mermaid from stories.

“What brings you to appear in person?”

Runba asked in a somewhat bewildered voice.

At Runba’s question, Undine curled up the corners of her mouth.

“Because there’s a mortal enemy I must eliminate right before my eyes.”

Chwaaaaak-!

When Undine extended her hand, a trident made of water was created.

Chuk-!

Undine, holding the trident in one hand, aimed it toward Leo.

“So you are the renowned Leo Flobe?”

“Are you Undine, the spirit of the deep sea?”

Leo chuckled and looked at Runba.

“I didn’t know you had made a pact with Senior Runba?”

Honestly speaking, Runba summoning a Great Spirit of Water was unexpected even for Leo.

If Runba had contracted with Undine, it would have been known long ago.

At Leo’s words, Undine snorted.

“Hmph. Runba Tes and I are not in a pact relationship. That person helped me once before. To repay that debt, I promised to help Runba Tes just once.”

“A temporary contract?”

“Indeed, you understand quickly.”

Undine curled up the corners of her mouth.

“In that sense, let me give you one piece of advice. Leo Flobe.”

Chwaaaaak-

The surrounding water streams formed a throne.

Sitting on that throne, Undine spoke.

“You’d better break your contract with that lowly Great Spirit of Fire over there.”

Undine narrowed her eyes and looked at Ista.

“I don’t know for what reason, but that lowly spirit recently lost her stronghold. What a pity. It was originally something I should have done. I suppose she received divine punishment for the harm she caused me long ago.”

Undine openly mocked Ista.

“That lowly Great Spirit lost her stronghold and entrusted herself to you. But that pact is a wrong pact.”

“A wrong pact?”

“Yes. Making a pact with Ista itself means you’ve made an enemy of me, the spirit of the deep sea.”

“Would it be different if I canceled the pact?”

“It would be different. Moreover, I, Undine, hold you in very high regard. I also know well that you are a pact maker with the 3 Great Familiars. So I propose.”

“A proposal?”

“Yes. Break your pacts with those familiars too. Then I’ll give you the opportunity to serve me, the spirit of the deep sea.”

Undine, seated on the throne, curled up the corners of her mouth.

“I don’t particularly like that you’ve made pacts with other spirits and magical beasts… but if you’re a Pact Maker of your caliber, I suppose I can overlook it.”

Swoooosh-

The water throne Undine was sitting on shot up high.

Creating a pillar of water, Undine looked down at Leo and spoke.

“This is by no means a bad proposal for you. I, Undine, am literally the ruler of The Great Ocean. Making a pact with me means you become the ruler of The Great Ocean as well. Moreover, I have never made a pact with anyone until now. It means the strongest Great Spirit will be with you. It will surely be of great help on the path you intend to take. What do you think?”

-That arrogant thing! Leo! Chick! Turn that thing into grilled fish!

-Peep! Peep!

-How dare she try to steal Master’s rough touch from me! Unforgivable! I’ll roast her with electricity!

The excited Kirran, Fiora, and Ati showed fierce reactions.

Accordingly, Leo’s head began to throb.

-Everyone, shh.

At Elsi’s gentle voice, the three magical beasts fell silent.

-Boss! Look at that arrogant thing’s nonsense! We really need to teach her a lesson!

-Didn’t you hear Elsi tell you to be quiet!

-Gawk!

Larel, who opened a space and emerged, flew at the speed of light and delivered a drop kick to Ista’s chest.

“The Spirit of Radiance?”

Undine’s complexion changed drastically.

Seeing such an Undine, Larel crossed her arms and snorted.

-You’re still the same, aren’t you?

“Are you also Leo Flobe’s pact maker? Hehehe! You acted all high and mighty, and now you’re sharing a pact maker? How pathetic! Spirit of Radiance!”

-That line is getting old. This guy already said it all.

Larel firmly stepped on Ista’s head at her feet.

“Well. I do need to have a conversation with you.”

“What?”

Leo spread his palm and aimed it at Undine.

Bzzzzzz! Flash-! Kwagang-!

A beam extending from Leo’s hand directly blasted Undine away.

Leo, using Larel’s power, looked at Runba.

“Wow~ Really. The Great Spirit of Light and even the Great Spirit of Fire. I heard Great Spirits hate cheating Spirit Mages the most! That was a lie too!”

Runba scratched his head vigorously.

Seeing such a Runba, Leo chuckled.

“They don’t like it.”

“Then how did you make contracts?”

“I’m quite charming, aren’t I?”

“Haha.”

Runba burst into laughter.

“Well, is this good for me? I was only planning to borrow troops from the spirit of the deep sea. Since the spirit of the deep sea came directly… I can buy time until those guys finish preparing?”

“Does dragging out time change anything?”

“I won’t fall for such provocation.”

Runba grinned.

“I’ll try to live up to your expectations. So you can look forward to it.”

Swoooosh-!

Huge doors made of water appeared on both sides of Runba.

Those doors opened wide, and water spirits began emerging from there.

They were water spirits under Undine’s command.

The army of the spirit of the deep sea, known as the most powerful among Great Spirits.

‘More overwhelming than during Ista’s time.’

What’s more surprising is Runba’s capability to continuously summon such spirits.

It doesn’t stop at just summoning.

He enhances the spirits with his own spiritual power.

‘So this is what it means to be the second-ranked 5th year after Elena.’

Moreover, his eyes had changed as well.

Leo curled up the corners of his mouth.

‘I’d like to face him myself, but.’

Soon, Undine, who had been blown away, would surely come charging at him.

“Elsi.”

At Leo’s call, Leo’s shadow began to grow massive.

And fire spirits revealed themselves from there.

Seeing this, Runba made a puzzled expression.

‘The summoning method is a bit unusual?’

Runba had no idea that the master of these spirits was not the Great Spirit of Fire, but the Great Spirit of Darkness.

-Water spirits…

-I expected we’d have to fight, but… I never thought we’d fight as subordinates of a shadow spirit rather than the purification spirit.

-So are you dissatisfied?

-No, it’s actually better.

-Because it’s a chance to prove that the shadow spirit is the strongest.

The fire spirits grinned wickedly.

-… How do they seem to have higher morale than when they were under me?

-That’s why I clearly told you and the spirit of the deep sea, didn’t I? To treat your subordinate spirits well.

Larel might not care about spirits of other attributes, but she took care of at least the light spirits.

-Old hag! I am sad!

-Who are you calling an old hag!

Larel kicked Ista in the side.

Finally, from the shadows, the fire spirit Alsia appeared, cupping both hands to support Elsi.

-Elsi, your orders.

When Alsia asked politely, Elsi smiled sweetly.

-If anyone gets tired, hide behind me.

-Ooooooh!

The fire spirits’ bodies began blazing fiercely.

Leaving that scene behind, Leo walked toward the direction Undine had been blown.

Before facing the 5th and 4th years, he had to defeat Undine first.

Kwagagagagagagang-!

Then, a massive tsunami came crashing from far away.

“Leo Flobeeeee! How dare you!”

Undine’s voice filled with rage could be heard.

Seeing this, Leo made a languid expression and raised his palm.

Whoooosh-!

Ista began blazing above Leo’s hand.

Ista, transformed into blue flames, soon changed into the form of a spear.

-Did such spirit magic exist?

At Ista’s surprised voice, Leo chuckled.

“It exists, doesn’t it?”

-Pact Maker, is this your spirit magic?

“No.”

Leo took a javelin throwing stance.

“I’m imitating the strongest Spirit Mage.”

Kwak-!

The blue fire spear that flew from Leo’s hand traced an arc as it flew toward the tsunami.

Whoosh! Swoooooooooooosh!

Lukewarm rain began to fall from the sky.

Looking at the surroundings filled with water vapor, Leo said.

“If you don’t want to make a pact, I’ll have to make you want to.”

-It won’t be easy.

“Yeah. But I learned how to persuade disobedient spirits from the strongest Spirit Mage.”

-What method is that?

Larel’s eyes lit up.

Leo smiled at that.

“Violence.”
