【156】
“Chirp! Chirp!”
The sparrow fluttered its small wings urgently, warning of danger.
[The Luck Spirit King ‘■■■■■■’ cries out: Above!]
“…!”
Thanks to the Spirit King’s glowing message, I dodged the attack by a hair’s breadth.
Whoosh!
But the attacks came in rapid succession, too fast to even see.
Boom! Boom boom!
Each time it struck where I stood, the soft earth caved inward.
“Squeak! Chirp chirp!”
The sparrow cried out and flapped frantically while the hermit crab startled and retreated into its shell.
Not that they could help much—lower spirits simply froze in the presence of beings fundamentally stronger than themselves. There was nothing to be done about it.
‘Lower spirits can only help with navigation, finding water, locating shelter, or searching for flags.’
To actually fight, you’d need at least a mid-tier spirit.
‘Though Podong back then was unusually brave, I’ll admit.’
Still, the combat training Father had given me wasn’t wasted—I dodged nimbly with considerable composure.
“Hisssss!”
A moment later.
Frustrated that its attacks weren’t landing, the Anaconda revealed itself fully, flicking its tongue.
A pointed head. Eyes that slanted upward.
A massive, beautiful body that could swallow something like me in a single gulp.
The serpent, covered in hard scales, was as graceful as it was powerful.
“Hello, Anaconda!”
“Hissss….”
“Don’t attack me. Let’s be friends instead.”
I spoke to it sincerely, at least.
Those yellowish-green scales were so beautiful I didn’t want to hurt it.
Because I love beautiful things.
[The Flame Spirit King ‘Flammeus’ has sent you a lower flame spirit.]
[Use it when things get desperate. This one is brave, even among lower spirits.]
Poof!
While I was earnestly trying to convince the Anaconda, a blazing fireball appeared above my head.
The Anaconda glanced at it once, then turned its gaze back down at me and opened its mouth threateningly.
‘Hmm, it doesn’t seem to have a cooperative temperament.’
Was it because the wizards who created it were burned out from overtime?
‘Its expression really does look like it’s pondering how to steam and cook me.’
Oh no, another attack!
Whoosh, swish swish!
I dodged the tail whipping toward me like a whip and climbed up a nearby tree.
Comfortable pants and boots—I’m grateful I can move without any hindrance whatsoever.
“Hyah!”
In a flash, I scrambled up the tree, grabbed a sturdy vine, and launched myself back down.
The anaconda, its venom fully activated and pursuing me, coiled its body around the trunk and glared at me, but the recoil sent me flying far away—though I knew I’d swing right back.
‘Now, Air Spirit. Send me further away.’
Further, much further.
“Chirp…?”
The frightened sparrow poked its head between its wings and summoned all its strength to conjure a gust of wind.
Like swinging on a swing while standing, I soared through the air with a whoosh, and soon swung right back—but by then, I was already prepared to strike.
“Flame Spirit, help me!”
Super Flame Superti Punch!
The Flame Spirit swelled its body in front of my fist.
As I flew in a semicircle along the vine, physics granted me acceleration.
The flame grew larger too!
“Kiek?”
The anaconda, encountering a fireball it had no business meeting in a jungle, shook its head in bewilderment.
Should it flee or stand its ground?
In that moment of hesitation, the anaconda’s choice was to unhinge its jaws and swallow me whole.
And my choice was…
“Curtain Jellyfish!”
Boing!
At my decisive command, the Curtain Jellyfish surged forward and wrapped itself tightly around the anaconda.
Though the creature stretches forty meters long, my jellyfish is just as massive.
Bound by the Curtain Jellyfish, the anaconda went rigid and completely immobilized.
One second.
The moment the anaconda’s movement ceased.
That was all I needed.
“Hyaaah! Contestant Superti Fasayen obliterates the colossal anaconda!”
Crack!
My flame-wreathed fist came crashing down on the anaconda’s face.
A sound so painful to hear it made my skin crawl, and soon the anaconda collapsed, unconscious.
It was unmistakably my victory.
“I wonder if there’s a flag inside the anaconda’s belly?”
Let me take another look at the defeated anaconda.
Standing on a tree branch, I peered down at the anaconda sprawled on the ground.
What if it’s just playing dead?
I’d rather not approach and risk a devastating counterattack.
[The Water Spirit King, Aurora, praises you.]
[When did my daughter become so meticulous… no, so resourceful?]
Well, it’s because Mikard is always sitting me down and delivering lectures whenever he gets the chance.
When fighting, you must see it through to the end, and even if your enemy falls, you can’t let your guard down—that sort of thing.
Having grown up hearing such warnings until my ears ached, I naturally learned not to take the situation before my eyes at face value.
“Chirp, chirp!”
Podong fluttered into the air and circled cautiously around the Anaconda, then pressed down firmly on its head with one foot.
With both eyes squeezed shut in anticipation, Podong soon flapped its wings with a confident expression.
‘That must mean it’s safe, right?’
Phew.
That was fun!
Having caught my breath, I decided to climb even higher up the tree while I was already here.
“Churrrr.”
“Huh? Oh, you’re giving me water to drink? Thanks.”
The hermit crab, trembling with fear, poked its head out and created a water droplet for me.
Since my throat was parched, I didn’t refuse the help and accepted it.
I sucked the water droplet that touched my lips like I was drinking honey, then wiped my mouth and jumped down with vigor.
It worked out fine because the Air Spirit helped me get a running start in the void.
“Superti Fasayen is utilizing spirits! We’ve just received breaking news that the bird is an Air Spirit, and it appears the hermit crab is a Water Spirit!”
Even inside the stadium, I can still hear the Announcer’s voice.
I’m clearly in the Jungle, and I can feel it, yet the voice rings out so loudly across the sky. It’s really strange and fascinating.
‘Plus, I only hear commentary about my situation or common information. I don’t hear anything about the other competitors.’
Standing at the top of the tree, I narrowed my eyes and gauged the distance.
This Stage seems wider than the others. That’s probably why I haven’t encountered anyone yet…
‘If competitors are scattered all over the place, and we want to give everyone a fair chance to grab the red flag, the answer would be… the Center, wouldn’t it?’
That’s what I would do.
“Chirpy, can you show me the way to the Center from here?”
I gave the bird a name.
Having received a name from me, Chirpy fluttered its small wings and flew up, but it soon came back.
“Chirp!”
“That way? Got it.”
Let’s go then.
I thought I might sense signs of combat somewhere, but everything was quiet overall.
That must mean everyone is still searching for the way.
Or they’ve already dealt with their opponents easily.
“Stage 4. Jungle has a special feature. Until now, it’s been fixed in a single time period. You’ve seen something similar three times already, so it’s about time you got bored, wouldn’t you say?”
Huh?
“So Stage 4. Jungle has a ‘Night Zone’! The ‘Day Zone’ has relatively weak creatures, but the Night Zone has… strong monsters appearing.”
The moment the Announcer finished speaking, the surroundings darkened.
With just one step forward, the intense sunlight that had been beating down disappeared.
I nearly slipped off the tree, unable to adapt in an instant.
‘I can’t see.’
Flame Spirit, help me!
The moment I called out in my heart, flames erupted, pushing back the suffocating darkness that surrounded me.
A small fire, yet so precious.
It was the only light that allowed me to discern what lay ahead in this oppressive gloom.
The problem was that possessing it didn’t mean the danger had vanished.
I descended carefully, groping my way forward by feeling along tree stumps and roots.
‘It seems they’ve hidden a red flag in the Day Zone and a golden flag in the Night Zone.’
Three spirits hovered around me, protecting me. The jellyfish as well.
Because I didn’t feel alone, I wasn’t afraid.
Click.
As I confidently made my way forward, the next moment my foot pressed down on something hard.
Something square and flat—like a device designed to trigger a mechanism.
“Don’t lift your foot, Shu.”
And then, someone gently embraced me from behind and whispered tenderly.
“If you do, it’ll explode.”
