756.

Light flashed from the warp gate.

Those who revealed themselves above the gate came down below.

The mage managing the gate approached the front of the gate and asked.

“What brings you here?”

Basically, all warp gates managed by the Magic Tower are connected to each other.

However, they’re frequently used when moving within the same country or traveling to nearby neighboring countries.

The farther the distance, the more it costs.

If long-distance travel was involved, there would usually be advance notice.

That’s why the gate manager couldn’t help but be puzzled.

They had suddenly made an emergency transfer from the Deviange Kingdom in the east to Retin at the northwestern edge of the continent.

In such cases, gate usage itself could be denied.

Of course, in the case of these users, permission for usage had already been granted due to instructions from above.

At the mage’s question, Leo, who stood at the front, spoke.

“I am…”

“Huh? Huuuuuh!”

The mage managing the warp gate was startled.

He was affiliated with the Magic Tower, but before that, he was also an administrator of the Recenteng region.

As such, he could recognize Leo’s face immediately.

“Your Majesty the King!”

The mage knelt and bowed his head.

At that exclamation, the gazes of people working around the warp gate turned in unison, and upon discovering Leo, they all knelt in surprise and bowed their heads.

Seeing that sight, Leo let out a small sigh.

“It’s nice having a king of a country around. Usually, entering through a warp gate without prior notice involves complicated procedures. I won’t have to go through troublesome immigration inspections.”

Elena giggled.

“Everyone, please stand up.”

At those words, people began to cautiously rise while watching for cues.

“Don’t mind me and everyone go about your business. You must have a lot of work right now.”

Retin is a tourist city famous for its hot springs.

Since those hot springs had problems, it wouldn’t be an exaggeration to say that all of Retin had suffered a major blow.

If handled poorly, the entire city’s economy could falter.

Leo headed toward the warp gate entrance.

The group that came with him followed behind Leo.

Then Leo, who had stopped walking, said.

“Why are you following me?”

“What do you mean?”

Leo pointed with his hand toward the immigration inspection area.

“Go get your immigration inspection.”

At those words, Elena frowned.

“What immigration inspection when I’m with Leo?”

“I’m the one who doesn’t need to receive it. Other people have to receive it according to procedure.”

“Mm! That’s certainly true.”

Lil nodded.

“Laws exist to be followed.”

Following that, Runia, the Seirun representative, also obediently nodded and headed to the immigration inspection office.

Elena, left alone in front of Leo, still wore an expression full of dissatisfaction.

“Can’t you give me this much convenience between us?”

“They say the highest person should set an example first. You’re not the king of this country, are you?”

“… Have you been blatantly speaking informally when we’re alone lately?”

“Don’t like it? Should I treat you as my senior?”

“…”

After glaring once at Leo, who wouldn’t lose in a single word, Elena snorted and headed to the immigration inspection office.

“Why don’t you indulge her a little?”

Then Risinass, who had hidden his form in Leo’s shadow, spoke.

“If I indulge that one, she’ll climb all the way to the top of my head, so no.”

At those words, Risinass burst into laughter.

The immigration inspection ended quickly.

Since they were Lumern and Seirun students with guaranteed identities from the start, the inspection itself didn’t take long.

The student ID from Hero Academy was the best identification anywhere.

When they exited the warp gate building, Sis Zigma was waiting with knights in attendance.

“Students of Lumern and Seirun. I sincerely welcome you to Retin.”

Seeing that Sis Zigma had personally come to greet them, the students of Lumern and Seirun showed surprised expressions.

They hadn’t expected that Sis, a hero with tremendous reputation, would personally come to greet them.

It’s a luxury that would be hard to enjoy even if a king of a nation visited.

“Your Majesty, shall I escort you to the government office?”

At Sis’s question, Leo said.

“I’ll start the investigation right away.”

Leo, who had said that, spoke.

“From now on, I’ll investigate underground Retin. Contact me if you find the source of the intense cold.”

The students who came to Retin with Leo were four from Lumern and three from Seirun.

From Lumern were Elena, Lil, Chloe, and Woreden, and from Seirun were Runia, Rea, and Ruka.

They were all students who were well-versed in magic or skilled in spirit arts, capable of exploring underground without difficulty.

“Gather at Retin’s government office around sunset.”

***

Leo, who had entered a deserted alley, knelt and reached his hand toward the shadow.

Thud-

Risinass, who had been in the shadow, took Leo’s hand and emerged.

It was the black dragon’s dragon language magic.

Then between the two, a small flame sparked with a poof! and Ista appeared, having become palm-sized.

-Unforgivable! This place has been under my protection for a long time! The hot springs of this land are like holy water to me!

“Hot springs are holy water?”

When Leo made an incredulous expression, Ista nodded as if it were obvious.

-That’s right! When I provided the hot springs, the humans living here expressed gratitude to me for that grace! Isn’t it natural that the hot springs representing my great deeds are holy water!

-Hmph. Buying people’s favor with just hot water. What a cheap thought. Vulgar perverted spirit.

-Shut up! You stagnant water lump!

-What?! Covenant partner! This rude spirit has hurled abuse at me! Please punish them!

As if proving they were mortal enemies, the fire and water greater spirits emanated fierce energy.

Both were only palm-sized, but their momentum was extraordinary.

When the greater spirits, no less, shouted and fought, Leo felt a headache coming on.

-Both of you be quiet.

Between those two, Larel revealed herself.

-Old hag, get lost!

-Old geezer, get lost!

-These little…!

-Larel. Please endure it.

Larel, whose eyes had rolled back, rushed to punish the two greater spirits.

Elsi panicked and stopped such Larel.

She thought that if Larel also went wild here, Leo’s headache would get worse.

“…”

Risinass, who had been watching that scene, blinked several times and then spread his palm.

Risinass’s mana wove together, forming the shape of a fly swatter.

Swish- Smack! Smack!

As the fly swatter swung toward them, Ista and Undine panicked and tried to dodge.

But Risinass, as if accustomed to it, easily shot down the two fleeing greater spirits without difficulty.

The round Fiora appeared and approached the two greater spirits who had crashed to the ground, then began pecking at them with her beak.

Watching this scene, Kirran spoke.

-Pig. Those aren’t for eating.

“Piigyaaaaaaak!”

Enraged by being called a pig, Fiora flapped her wings trying to chase Kirran, but Kirran had already quickly flown up.

-Uhahahaha! You’ve gotten fat again and can’t even fly, right? You chicken-pigeon Phoen…

Stomp-!

-Gak!

Risinass stepped on and subdued Kirran.

-Gasp! Not only did you beat down greater spirits with something like a fly swatter, but you’re stepping on a fairy too! Please do it to me too! Please hit me too!

Ati appeared and grabbed Risinass’s pant leg.

Looking at Ati, Risinass smiled coldly.

“You’re called Ati, right?”

-Yes!

“Should I make you hate getting hit?”

Crack-

At the ominous question, Ati froze.

Then she hid behind Leo and began trembling.

As the pact makers quieted down, Leo felt his headache subsiding.

When three divine beasts and four greater spirits started causing a commotion together, Leo couldn’t help but suffer from headaches.

“Are you okay?”

When Risinass asked with a cold smile, Leo pressed his temples and said.

“You’re truly befitting of the strongest summoner.”

“You’re surprisingly soft on your summons, aren’t you?”

“For me, Elsi was my only greater spirit-level pact maker, and Albus was my only supreme divine beast.”

“That’s true… They were summons with quite gentle personalities.”

-Risinass handles summons well.

When Elsi admired, Leo said.

“The spirits this guy contracted with in the old days were all equally foul-tempered.”

They were incarnations of pride who stubbornly refused to make pacts with the same summoner even while the world was ending.

And in the case of divine beasts, there was Katariou, the Phoenix King famous for his foul temper.

The summons Leo had made pacts with now had pride and personalities that would seem cute compared to Risinass’s pact makers.

“Seeing how such beings occupied greater spirit positions and divine beast king positions, the world was definitely showing signs of ruin, right?”

At Leo’s words, Risinass couldn’t bring himself to refute.

Anyway, it was Risinass who had suppressed those spirits and divine beasts with their tremendous personalities through force.

Risinass grabbed Ista and Undine, who were sprawled limply on the ground, one in each hand.

“There’s something I need you two to do.”

-What is it?

When Undine asked while shrinking her neck, Risinass said.

“If the hot spring on this land is cooling down right now, there are two possibilities. Either the ground through which the hot spring water flows has gotten cold, or there’s a problem with the source of the hot spring.”

-That’s right.

Ista crossed her arms.

“The students are exploring where there are problems with the ground. So we’re thinking of stimulating where the hot spring water flows out.”

-How should we do it?

“I’m thinking of using the hot spring water as a medium to flow Ista’s heat backwards into the ground.”

At those words, Undine flinched.

-Wait a minute! That means I have to embrace that damn fireball!

“That’s right.”

-I don’t want to! Absolutely not! I’d rather do it with that chick Phoenix!

“A spirit and divine beast won’t be efficient. Spirit and spirit is most efficient.”

-Still!

-I don’t want to either.

Ista also scrunched up her face showing her refusal.

Looking at the two spirits who were in agreement, Risinass smiled.

“You don’t want to? Then should I make it pleasant for you?”

-…

-…

At that threat, the two greater spirits trembled.

Watching this, Elsi carefully asked.

-Even so, is it okay to do that? If it’s too forceful, it might have the opposite effect.

“Normally it wouldn’t work. Greater spirits aren’t just beings with strong power, but kings of the elements they rule.”

No matter how much stronger power one possessed than greater spirits, a subordinate relationship couldn’t be formed.

The same was true for the three great divine beasts.

This was why it took time for Leo to calm his pact makers.

“But if it’s Risinass, the story is different.”

-Why?

“That guy is the king of the world.”

The only being the gods had named with the title ‘King’ among heroes.

He had once shouldered the world.

Though it wasn’t for domination, since it meant taking responsibility for the world anyway, Risinass was recognized as the king of the world.

“That also means he’s the master of the world.”

If he wished to reign, he could have absolute authority.

It wasn’t visible power.

Literally invisible power.

“His commands are close to absolute.”

-My goodness. That’s just like the gods’ divine authority, isn’t it?

“Right. It’s close to divine authority.”

Leo nodded.

“If Arron reached the divine realm… miracles through super senses and martial arts, Luna through magic, Dweno through his ability to create weapons.”

Leo looked at Risinass and said.

“That guy entered the divine realm through his qualities of leading people.”
