(One)
One.
The magical power of the abyss that covered the hall.
The Ghost Knights have finally revealed all the power they possess, as if to prove that they are the lords of the abyss.
The ghost horse they were riding flashed its ferocious eyes and lashed out, ready to pounce at any moment.
【Successor of Kazan Rudrik.】
【We will collect you especially.】
【Silently accept fate】
【Become the hundredth knight!】
Ending on a confident note.
Just as the ninety-nine ghost knights were about to hit the ground all at once, a strong gust of wind suddenly struck them.
Whiiiiing! Grumble!
It wasn’t just the gusts that happened. The ground cracked open, and flames erupted from all directions.
“Just a little bit more…” … !”
There is one cause for this phenomenon.
It was Perticia’s elemental magic.
Instinctively aware that the Ghost Knights were dangerous, she tried to put pressure on them by using all the spirits she could muster.
however… … .
【It’s useless.】
It didn’t work for the knights.
As I swung the spear, the flame went out, and the earth, which was shaking from the vibration of the horse’s hooves, quickly became quiet. The gusts of wind did not cause much damage.
【A dull knife is like a piece of junk.】
【Seventh star.】
【Your spirit does not reach the abyss.】
It was a natural result.
Unlike Perticia in her past life, the current woman has no combat experience at all.
Afterwards, the knights kicked the ground all at once.
Facing the onslaught of menacingly approaching men, Ulan took a long stride forward.
“Come behind me, Perticia.”
Eyes shining with determination.
Just as I was preparing for the attack.
Kugugu! Quagga gaga!
Suddenly, a huge wall appeared.
The pitch-black wall barely managed to block the knights’ charge, and a familiar voice was heard in Perticia’s ears as her eyes widened.
“… … “Both of you get out of here.”
A soft voice.
It was the spirit of the abyss.
“Because I will stop them.”
The spirit who managed to stop their charge let out a voice filled with pain. Then Perticia cried out with her perplexed face.
“B-But then…” … !”
“Go quickly! “You don’t stand a chance.”
The spirit of the abyss shouts resolutely.
The spirit that was watching the situation instinctively realized this. The current Ulan and Perticia can never defeat the Knights.
“Still, I was grateful.”
The spirit muttered something out of nowhere and immediately expressed its sincere gratitude.
“I was really happy that you asked me to go out with you even just for a little while and let me know that I wasn’t alone.”
A whisper delivered calmly.
Meanwhile, even in this situation, Perticia continued to shake her head. As if she couldn’t just leave the spirit of the abyss alone here.
“Don’t be stubborn for no reason. I can’t hold out for long either. So, hurry up during this gap… … .”
Leave the fountain of magic and run outside.
The spirit wanted to make this request. But at that moment, a firm answer came back.
“refuse.”
“… … uh?”
Ulan walks while holding an axe.
He spoke while receiving the puzzled looks of the Spirit of the Abyss and Perticia.
“From the moment the monster of the abyss appeared, there was no option to run away.”
I have no intention of running away from my enemies.
Lastly, a ferocious smile.
He kicked the ground again.
Quaaaaaaaaaaa!
An onslaught pouring down over the wall.
Ulan swung his ax as if possessed, and faced the 99-year-old ghost knight alone.
However, the knights did not take it easy either.
【What a futile struggle.】
【Ludric’s successor.】
【If what you want is death, I will gladly grant your wish.】

The knights must have realized that Ulan’s ax did not work, so they boldly launched a counterattack.
As a result, wounds large and small began to rapidly increase on Ulan’s body.
“Ooh, Ulan!”
Perticia shouts urgently.
On the other hand, Ulan raised his ax as if he was okay and then gradually destroyed the knights’ equipment.
After some time, when he came back, the spirit of the abyss screamed reproachfully.
“Look at that! This is a fight I’m sure I’ll lose. How do you deal with an opponent that even weapons cannot attack… … !”
“As long as the weapon works, you win.”
“So the weapon doesn’t work!”
It’s not some kind of stone head.
He’s a guy who really can’t communicate. As he was thinking that, Ulan shook his head.
“No, it works.”
“How can you be sure of that!?”
“Because there is Perticia.”
An answer filled with strong faith.
Soon Ulan took a deep breath and grabbed the axe. This was because the Ghost Knights could be seen restoring broken equipment.
“I will buy time.”
“What time is it?”
“okay. In the meantime, ask the spirits for help and find out how to imbue your weapons with the spirit’s power. “That’s the only way to win.”
“yes! “I will definitely find it!”
She looked determined.
Perticia then summoned as many spirits as she could. To figure out a way to lend the spirit’s power as he wishes.
To buy time later.
Ulan fought against the Ghost Knights in a truly desperate manner. In the process, his entire body became covered with wounds, and a pool of blood formed at his feet.
But I didn’t really care.
“I won’t fall—!”
A flame of fighting spirit that burns without going out.
It was a battle that no one could see winning, but Ulan undaunted and swung his axe.
The way he fought like crazy without being intimidated by numerous enemies was like a berserker from an old story.
While we were fighting for a long time.
The spirit of the abyss, having regained its strength, once again erected a wall. Thanks to this, Ulan was able to take a breather and wipe away the blood from her face.
“Why are you doing this?”
The spirit of the abyss spoke to me.
As if I couldn’t understand.
“If you just leave me behind, it will be resolved neatly. But why… … .”
“Because I need you.”
“I? why?”
Spirit of the Abyss.
This guy is proof, reward, and companion that Perticia passed the warrior’s ordeal.
Especially for Perticia, who has almost no weapons except for the spirits, this is a powerful spear and a strong shield.
‘And one more thing.’
He has the magic of the abyss and the power to remove darkness. This will be of great help when fighting in the abyss in the future.
When used together with the Orb of Einer that Noah completed last summer vacation, the warriors are virtually immune to the abyss environment.
‘but… … .’
To explain all of these reasons, I would have to spend quite a bit of time. On the other hand, now that the knighthood is approaching, there is no time to even explain.
It was also annoying.
So Ulan omitted the explanation.
“There is no particular reason.”
“No, it doesn’t make sense!”
They say it’s necessary but there’s no reason why.
The Spirit of the Abyss responded as if it were absurd, but Ulan’s answer was still the same.
“Anyway, I can’t leave you behind.”
“that… … .”
“So rest assured.”
After taking a short breath.
Ulan whispered firmly.
“I’m taking you out.”
Just like it was with Perticia.
He promised that he would definitely take him out to the spirit of the abyss. Seeing him like this, the spirit closed its mouth.
A barbarian whose entire body is covered in wounds and blood.
The weapon has no effect on the enemy, and there is no chance of victory. But why is it so reassuring? Why do I feel like I want to trust him?
“… … .”
When the spirit’s eyes were shaking.
Suddenly, thin arms gently hugged Ulan. It was Perticia who was protected from behind.
“I’ve waited a long time, Ulan.”
“Did you figure out a way?”
“no. “With the power I currently have, I can’t lend the spirit’s power to Ulan.”
A desperate answer came back.
However, there was no hint of disappointment in Perticia’s voice. As if to prove this, she continued to speak.
“I heard about another method instead.”
“What method?”
If there is a second best solution, that is fine.
Ulan pressed for an answer, but Perticia wiggled her fingers as if she was hesitating. Then she quickly came up with an answer.
“… … “I’m making a contract with a spirit.”
“A contract?”
“yes. A long time ago, when this world was still full of spirits. “It is said that there were people who borrowed and used the power of spirits through contracts.”
Spiritist.
Uland also knows its existence.
I heard that Einer Mel Arpen, the person who created Einer’s orb, was also a spiritist who was active before Perticia.
But there was a problem.
“I have no spirit affinity.”
I heard this from Delia in my last life.
In order to make a contract with a spirit, an ability called ‘spirit affinity’ must exist.
That’s not all.
You must be in direct contact with the spirit with whom you wish to make a contract, and your affinity must be good enough to even contact the spirit.
“I can’t even see the spirit, so how can I…” … .”
“no. “I can see it.”
“what? “What does that mean?”
“If it’s a spirit, it’s here, right?”
Perticia smiles with her hand on her heart.
After listening to it, it makes sense.
She is half-human and half-spirit with a body. Half of the essence was a decent spirit.
“Make a contract with me, Ulan.”
Unwavering eyes.
The look in his eyes has already made up his mind.
Ulan, who was calmly facing her, spoke in a concerned voice.
“Are you really okay?”
“Yes, it’s okay if it’s Ulan.”
Ulan readily reached out to himself in his past life, and again this time.
He told me to go outside together.
‘therefore… … .’
Now it’s Perticia’s turn.
She strengthened her resolve to go outside with Ulan and the Spirit of the Abyss.
Did you notice this determination?
Ulan nodded.
“i get it. “How can I sign a contract?”
“Well, please kneel first.”
I knelt down as I was told.
Then he asked again.
“next?”
But no answer came back.
Perticia, who kept her mouth shut, reached out her hand and grabbed Ulan by the collar.
Isn’t that a bit extreme for a contract?
Just as I was thinking this to myself, she suddenly raised her heels. At the same time, the two people’s faces quickly narrowed.
And our lips met.
“… … !”
Moist and soft texture.
As I felt a slight tremor, a faint scent tickled the tip of my nose. A moment later, Pertichia, parting her lips, smiled with her flushed face.
“Hehe, this is fine.”
A shy smile blooms on your lips.
As I was looking at this blankly, I suddenly heard a conversation that I had never heard before.
『Ha, was there really no other way than this?』
A voice that sounds like a child talking.
Afterwards, the scenery before my eyes changed. It was a scene where all kinds of colorful beads of light were swirling around in the empty air.
“okay. Looking at it again, this is the best.』
『Monsters must be defeated with monsters.』
『Because it was also a choice Perticia made.』
『We just need to respect the choice.』
The moment I saw this scene.
Ulan had a hunch. The orbs of light and voices are the spirits of Perticia.
At that time, the spirits approached him.
『Hey, can you hear us now?』
『I will lend you my strength.』
『Get rid of all those ghosts!』
『For Perticia.』
The whispers of the spirits as a signal.
Ulan’s ax was wrapped in brilliant light.
Paaaaaa!
This was thanks to dozens or even hundreds of spirits completely entrusting themselves to Ulan’s axe.
It’s not just that.
The spirits also embraced Ulan’s body. Then, the accumulated fatigue completely disappeared, and my body felt much lighter.
And one more thing.
A word of strength was heard.
“I will sing for you.”
Bard, Perticia.
Her song using spirits raises the power of allies to the limit. Ulan smiled in satisfaction at the strong support.
“i get it. “Leave the rest to me.”
If the weapon works, it’s a different story.
If you add the spirit’s help and Perticia’s song, I don’t feel like I’ll lose.
At that time, the spirit of the abyss, which had barely held on, lost its strength and collapsed. In response, Ulan took advantage of the momentary gap and expanded his territory.
The realm of forty-five steps.
As we narrowed the gap so quickly that we could not even perceive the passage of time, a fierce onslaught tore through the space.
and-.
The ax imbued with the spirit completely pulverized the leader of the knights. At the same time, the fierce running of the knights stopped.
【───!?】
It had to be that way.
As many as six ghost knights disappeared in vain due to the blow just struck.
“Ninety-three more.”
Subtraction of two-digit numbers is Ulan’s specialty.
And he already knew the answer to this question. It’s about constantly subtracting, subtracting, and cutting until the correct answer is ‘0’.
“Now is the time to fight back.”
Staring at the confused knights.
Ulan took a big step forward.
Take steps toward victory.
Chapter 46. I’ll follow you until the end!
