645.

“Grgh!”

Using the trident in her hand as a staff, Undine raised her body.

‘What was that just now…!’

To attack Leo, Undine had used the water of Lake Lumeria.

This place, an island in the middle of a massive lake, could be said to be an extremely advantageous battlefield for Undine.

‘I didn’t think I could end it in one blow.’

Undine bit her lips tightly.

It wasn’t that she had underestimated Leo.

As a spirit of the deep sea who had created a domain in the depths of the ocean, that didn’t mean she had no interest in the flow of the world.

No, rather, Undine had taken even more interest in worldly affairs.

What Undine aimed for was to become the strongest spirit.

And to leave her name in history as such a spirit, there was something absolutely necessary.

‘A pact maker.’

No matter how mighty a great spirit might be, they cannot leave their name in history alone.

It’s the Heroes who get their names recorded in the Hero Record, not the spirits who made pacts with them.

The influence of Heroes could be seen just by looking at Larel.

Larel, the Spirit of Radiance, had not shown herself in history for thousands of years.

She had no pact maker and had remained a bystander in countless wars against Tartaros.

But for the sole reason that Larel’s pact maker was Cataclysmic Dragon Rodia, Larel had been considered beyond comparison for 3,000 years.

Decades ago, that inferior Purification Spirit.

Now she was being praised as the strongest spirit, but the moment Larel was mentioned, she was pushed back.

Undine could not tolerate that.

That’s why she had spent long years searching for a pact maker suitable for her.

And what she had found was none other than Leo Flobe.

He wasn’t the type of Spirit Mage preferred by great spirits.

As a summoner famous for commanding the 3 Great Familiars, it hurt her pride to have to make a pact with such a person.

After all, great spirits dislike playboys.

But even considering that background, Leo was an attractive pact maker.

That’s why she had proposed a pact on the condition that he break his pacts with other familiars and spirits.

She was aware that he was strong enough for her to mark him as her pact maker.

But this was far beyond her expectations.

‘What the hell is this!’

On a battlefield overwhelmingly advantageous to the Great Spirit of Water, she had been pushed back by the Great Spirit of Fire.

‘Even if there is a Spirit Mage…!’

A summoner is someone who draws out a familiar’s abilities beyond their limits.

But when it comes to great spirits, the limits of summons are overwhelmingly high.

Drawing out their maximum abilities is equally difficult.

This was also why most great spirits took arrogant attitudes.

‘Even if the Purification Spirit gained stronger power through a contract, considering the terrain, I still have the advantage!’

It was when Undine was about to draw up her spirit power once again.

Flash-

“…?”

A flash of light flickered before her eyes.

At that moment.

Whoosh-!

“…!”

Leo, who had approached before she knew it, was swinging his foot toward Undine’s face.

Splash-!

Undine’s head burst and scattered in all directions.

Water droplets scattered everywhere.

Being a spirit, she hadn’t suffered a fatal wound, but there was no way she could avoid the shock.

Swish-!

The water droplets that had scattered in all directions instantly became sharp like awls.

Hundreds of water spikes attacked Leo from all sides.

Whoooosh-!

Blue flames erupted from Leo’s entire body.

Hiss-!

The water spikes that touched Leo were swept away by his armor of fire and evaporated instantly.

“Grgh!”

Undine quickly distanced herself from Leo and struck the ground with her trident.

Bubble bubble bubble… Splash-!

Starting from where Undine struck with her trident, the surroundings began turning into a sea of water.

“I’ll sink this entire island!”

This was to make this place a battlefield advantageous to herself.

“No matter how much of a Purification Spirit she is, she can’t evaporate all of Lake Lumeria!”

Undine curled up the corners of her mouth.

She was right.

Lake Lumeria was massive enough to be called a sea, with that much water flowing through it.

As Undine said, even with Ista’s power, it was impossible to evaporate it all.

“I’ll make you regret making me your enemy! Leo Flobe!”

To Undine’s words, Leo replied indifferently.

“I don’t particularly intend to be your enemy though?”

“Don’t be ridiculous! You attacked me first!”

“That’s because you picked a fight with her first.”

Leo poked at the air with his finger.

Palm-sized Larel’s head swayed left and right from Leo’s finger.

“Besides, I never intended to have just one pact maker anyway.”

Leo shrugged his shoulders.

“If you had heard this, you would have attacked me first anyway, right?”

“…”

Undine fell silent at Leo’s words.

Indeed, if he had rejected her proposal, she had planned to attack him for being impudent.

“So, what do you say? Don’t you want to make a pact with me?”

“Playboy!”

“That’s something that could be misunderstood if others heard it.”

-Having a pact maker already and saying such things does make you a playboy.

-For once, I agree with the old hag.

Larel kicked the side of Ista, who had appeared beside her.

-Squeak squeak.

-Honestly, who would like that.

-Among us, only Elsi would be able to fully understand Master.

The familiars also sided with Undine.

Leo clicked his tongue at his summons’ words.

And looking at Undine, who was showing hostility, he said.

“Anyway, I need you.”

For a Spirit Mage, a powerful spirit is a powerful weapon.

Of course, contracting with a powerful spirit doesn’t automatically make you stronger.

Moreover, for an ordinary Spirit Mage, if they already have a contract with a great spirit, contracting with another great spirit doesn’t make them stronger.

Usually, it’s difficult to properly handle even one great spirit’s power.

‘That’s only the case for ordinary Spirit Mages.’

Leo was a Great Hero and could be called the second most powerful summoner in the history of summoning arts.

Leo becomes stronger the more Great Spirit-level spirits he has.

The reason Fiora, Kirran, Ati, Larel, and Ista remain quiet despite their inner dissatisfaction with Leo contracting multiple familiars is because they know Leo has the ability to handle them all perfectly.

That’s why for Leo, making pacts with the Great Spirits was essential in preparation for future battles.

“I refuse!”

“It would be better to make a contract with kind words.”

Leo smiled slyly.

At those words, Undine snorted.

“What if I don’t want to do it with kind words? What can you possibly do!”

“I can do various things.”

Leo curled up the corners of his mouth.

Kwaaaaak-!

Suddenly, a huge whirlpool began forming in front of Leo.

Seeing this, Undine’s body flinched and trembled.

The massive amount of water that Undine had been drawing suddenly began getting sucked down to the ground.

‘As if a giant hole had appeared…’

Sgagagagagak-!

Pat-! Pat-!

Suddenly, chains of darkness burst through the water and grabbed Undine’s arms and neck.

“Abyss Spirit!”

Undine’s eyes widened as she looked at the gloomy-eyed spirit that had ambushed and subdued her.

It was Ignite, the Abyss Spirit that had settled in Lumern.

Larel also showed a surprised expression.

-When did you make a pact with Ignite?

“I never made a pact, I just summoned him and that guy responded to me.”

-… While I wasn’t looking, the family grew. Leo Flobe.

-Who are you calling family! If you’re also going to make a pact with Leo Flobe, then I’m a senior who came in earlier than you! Treat me with respect!

-That disgusting habit of showing off your muscles and being smug is still the same.

-You’re the one whose scrawny appearance is still the same!

Watching the Great Spirit of Darkness and Great Spirit of Fire showing sharp attitudes toward each other, Kirran crossed his arms and made an expression of disdain.

-Seriously though. Why do all these Great Spirits have such bad relationships with each other? We familiars have such good unity. Right? Fat chick? Pervert?

-Peep!

Kwak-!

Fiora unhesitatingly pecked Kirran’s temple with her beak for calling her a fat chick.

-This chick!

-Fi, Fiora! That sharp beak attack on me!

“…”

Leo grabbed his throbbing head.

‘I’m newly impressed by that guy Risinass.’

Risinass’s pact makers were definitely no less troublesome than Leo’s current pact makers, if not more so.

He newly felt an immense gap compared to himself as a summoner.

‘Did he maybe hit them when they got noisy when he wasn’t looking? With that guy’s violent tendencies, he’d probably do that and more.’

Having thoughts that would have made Risinass charge at him if he heard them, Leo approached Undine.

“Kugh!”

Undine, restrained by Ignite’s power, bit her lips tightly.

Ignite’s ability as an Abyss Spirit was power sealing.

Moreover, not only Ignite but also Larel and Ista were suppressing Undine’s power.

No matter how powerful a Great Spirit was, if three Great Spirits of the same level were determined to subdue one, it was inevitable to be captured.

Breaking free from this restraint right now would be difficult.

“So? Do you still have no intention of making a pact with me?”

“Don’t be ridiculous! Do you think I’m the same as those cheap summons?”

At Undine’s outcry, the movements of the bickering summons stopped completely.

The gazes of the six summons, who could be called the dream and goal of summoners, turned toward Undine.

-Did you just call us cheap?

Larel approached right up to Undine’s nose and asked.

“Don’t come near me! You’re low-class! I feel like I’m becoming cheap too!”

At those words, Larel looked around at the summons that had made pacts with Leo.

The Great Spirits and the 3 Great Familiars were all individuals with strong personalities and strong self-love.

When such individuals were gathered together, it was natural for them to be noisy.

Harmony should be considered almost impossible.

But even in such situations, there were times when they would unite.

That was precisely when a common external enemy appeared.

And Undine had brilliantly provoked them to become that common enemy.

-It seems we’re all thinking the same thing.

Ista returned to his original size.

In his hand was a club made of flames.

The sight of him flexing his muscles while gripping the club was threatening.

-I don’t usually like hitting things. But sometimes this might be good too.

In Ati’s hand was a pure white club made of lightning.

-Hold her tight, Great Spirit of Darkness.

Kirran made a mischievous smile.

-When Leo said the way to persuade Great Spirits was violence, I absolutely said no. Shall we test if it works for persuasion?

Larel smiled slyly.

-Peep. Peep.

Fiora also flapped her wings threateningly.

“What, what are you trying to do? Don’t come! Don’t come near me!”

Sensing the ominous atmosphere, Undine shouted with a panicked face.

As Leo watched this scene and wondered what he should do.

Flash-!

“Hmm?”

He felt enormous magical power from far away.

‘It’s the 4th and 5th years.’

Having finished their preparations, they were aiming at Leo with grand magic.

‘Senior Runba is still fighting with Elsi.’

Zing-!

A magic circle formed beneath Leo’s feet.

Flash- Kwagagagagang-!

Pillars of fire shot up.

The flames disappeared and Leo, caught in the magic, raised his head.

“They prepared thoroughly.”

The nature of the magic was definitely different from before.

He could feel that their strategy against him had clearly changed after just one battle.

Leo curled up the corners of his mouth.

“Let’s see how different it is from before…”
