Hope in Another World 117

Title: Forging a Contract

In the world of Seirei Tsukai no Blade Dance, in the elemental world, there are various spirits with strange abilities living, and they are closely related to the world inhabited by humans.

The only ones who can communicate with these spirits with strange powers are the innocent girls among humans.

Girls who can communicate with spirits are called Hime-Miko.

Among them, there are also Hime-Miko who have strengthened their lineage, talents, qualifications, and other characteristics to communicate with spirits through generational marriage, thus forming contracts with spirits and using the powers of spirits.

People call them Elementalis.

As messengers of spirits, Hime-Miko can summon spirits inhabiting the Astral Zero world to their side through contracts made with those spirits, they can achieve the goal of fighting or helping in various aspects of life.

When spirits residing in Astral Zero are summoned to this world, they generally have two forms.

One is their original form.

It has no mass or fixed appearance, it only has a form called the divine power core as the divine power core.

Spirits summoned in this form can’t actually be said to have summoned the spirit, but have summoned a part of the spirit’s ability.

Therefore, Elementalis will use this summoning method when using spirit magic, using it as a reserve of divine power, and at the same time, giving spirit magic the real power it deserves.

This is also because of this reason. An Elementalis who has made a contract with a spirit with a certain attribute can only use spirit magic with the same attribute as the spirit they have contracted with.

As for the other form, it is the pure form that directly summons a part of the spirit itself.

The so-called pure form. It is the true form of the spirit, whether it’s a cat, dog, snake, cow, centaur girl, snake girl, spider girl, native girl from another world… In short, in this form, the summoned spirit is the actual summoned spirit.

However, summoning the pure form requires a huge amount of divine energy. It is also very difficult to control, but compared to simply summoning the original form, it is undoubtedly much stronger if used to use spirit magic.

And use the pure form to a higher level, transform the pure form of the summoned part of the spirit directly into the most suitable weapon, and combine the powerful spirit power with the Elementalis’s power into one state where the spirit power reaches its extreme point.

Elemental Waffe.

Only adult spirits can use it, Elemental Waffe transformed from spirits.

After making a contract with a spirit, the Elementalis can use spirit magic with that attribute and manipulate the spirit. They can also transform the spirit into an Elemental Waffe. This is the advantage of Elementalis in the world of Seirei Tsukai no Blade Dance.

And if Shun remembers correctly, the spirit in front of him was the strongest sword spirit in the world of Seirei Tsukai no Blade Dance… Even the most deadly spirits were unaffected by it.

Shun carefully observed the sword that appeared in front of him.

The body of the sword was carved with a very delicate ancient pattern, and it continuously emitted a faint blue light.

“Spirit Sword: Terminus Est.”

Shun’s eyes were a little more fiery. Besides wanting to get the silver-haired little girl who liked to only wear black stockings and sleep under the covers, the power of this sword was also very suitable for him now.

In the work of Seirei Tsukai no Blade Dance, the super boss with a background in the world of the dead died because of this sword.

Shun still remembers his name…

Solomon.

Not the one in FGO, but the only male Elementalis called the Demon King.

The Demon King’s existence could be traced back hundreds of years.

After hundreds of years had passed, although the Demon King’s deeds were still widely circulated, most people only considered it a legend.

Besides that legend, there was another figure passed down.

Hundreds of years ago, he defeated the Demon King who brought disaster to the continent, and he was known as the Sacred Queen who saved the world.

Areshia Idriss.

The Sacred Queen who killed the Demon King and saved the continent.

The weapon used by the Sacred Queen who saved the world to kill the Demon King was also widely passed down as a famous legend.

That’s what the world called that sword.

Demon King Killing Sacred Sword.

Some say that the sword is just an ordinary weapon.

Some people say that a sword that can kill the Demon King who has made the entire continent powerless is not an ordinary weapon.

Therefore, the most powerful statement is that the Sacred Queen is also an Elementalis, and the Demon King Killing Sacred Sword she used is an Elemental Waffe incarnated by the Great Spirit.

And the Demon King Killing Sacred Sword was right in front of Shun at this moment.

Without hesitation, Shun took a step forward and gripped the hilt of the sacred sword with determination.

*WHOOSH!*

An astonishing gust of wind swept through the entire sky, blowing in all directions like a violent storm.

Shun quickly grabbed his sword and returned to the Kamui space.

The sword he was holding tightly emitted light and caused waves of wind and waves, releasing terrifying fluctuations.

The sword held in his hand, vibrating violently, suddenly bloomed with dazzling light, and exploded with a powerful impact.

Then it fell from his hand, and a burst of fineness broke, turning the fake shell wrapped around the sacred sword into dust. A beam of light suddenly shot straight towards Shun.

The light, accompanied by the sound of strong wind, shot past Shun’s original position, directly across a beautiful arc, and rose into the air.

That’s when the true form of that light was revealed.

It was a sword.

The sacred sword, shining with dazzling light, had a very luxurious appearance, and looked very beautiful.

“Is this… the spirit sealed in the sword just now? Sure enough, you’re more beautiful in the real world.”

At the same time, Shun’s figure appeared in the air, a burst of brilliant light flashed in his dark and deep eyes.

*CRACK!*

With a crisp sound, the hilt of the sacred sword was tightly gripped by Shun.

*Buzz!* *Buzz!* *Buzz!*

The sacred sword suddenly vibrated violently.

The powerful energy on the body of the sword turned into a huge impact, often shaking his palm that tightly gripped the hilt of the sword. However, Shun not only didn’t let go. Instead, he raised the sword in his hand and pointed it upwards. The extremely powerful physical strength tightly grasped the sacred sword, and no matter how the opponent shook it, it couldn’t cause any waves.

As if realizing the comparable strength of the opponent, the sacred sword stopped vibrating, but what happened next was an even more turbulent energy impact.

*Buzz!*

At the same time. A very violent burst of mixed chakra spiritual energy surged from Shun’s hand, tightly clenched on the hilt of the sword, like a surging wave, and poured into the sword.

As a result, the more surging energy from the sacred sword actually suppressed the spiritual energy on the sword that was often attacking Shun.

*Buzz!*

As if the sacred sword was truly irritated, even more violent energy erupted in the vibration of the air and space, turning into an impact, which shocked the energy that came from Shun’s body.

*BOOM!*

So, two terrifying energies used the sword as a bridge. They collided with each other, as if an invisible bomb had been detonated, causing an astonishing impact and waves that spread in all directions.

During the standoff between Shun and the Demon King Killing Sacred Sword, with Shun’s own chakra energy mixed with spiritual energy in continuous battle, even the strongest sword in the world of Seirei Tsukai no Blade Dance couldn’t withstand it at this moment.

As time went on, the sacred sword began to break down.

Just when Shun was sure of his victory, the sacred sword suddenly vibrated, bloomed with dazzling light, covering his palm.

*CRACK!*

The next moment, a sound like condensed ice cubes sounded slightly.

But what condensed wasn’t ice, but Shun’s palm, and what condensed on his hand wasn’t ice, but steel.

*CRACK!* *CRACK!* *CRACK!*

Shun’s hand holding the hilt of the sword was continuously covered with steel amidst the sound of condensation, and his entire hand became heavy.

“My palm turned into steel? Is that a curse?”

Shun wasn’t surprised that this tempering phenomenon was one of the abilities that sword spirits with steel attributes could use.

As a sacred sword, Est had the power to break curses, but its essence was to store swallowed curses – the hatred and anger of the spirits destroyed by the sacred sword inside it. It would begin to backfire on the contractor’s body, and as a result, the former contractor would die.

The Demon King Killing Sacred Sword was a sword that could break all curses, but the curse hadn’t disappeared from the world. At some point in time, the Sacred Sword, which had accumulated countless curses, would revive those curses on the contractor.

Its energy was not comparable to Shun’s, and even less able to withstand his strength, the Highest Stage Hermit Body. The Sacred Sword could only choose to use spirit magic to attack, trying to make him surrender.

However, at this moment, the Development Abilities, Abnormal Resistance, Hermit Body, and the weak prototype of the sun’s spiritual network were stimulated at the same time, and they worked together.

In Shun’s field of vision, the steel attached to his hand was shattered by an invisible force like a barrier outside.

Suddenly, the phenomenon of steel spreading on his arm was resisted and destroyed by a force. The powerful resistance and terrifying spiritual energy almost destroyed the erosion of the negative state.

*BANG!*

The steel on Shun’s arm shattered and turned into pieces of steel, falling to the ground.

Seeing this scene, even the sacred sword that was often vibrating paused for a moment and stopped trembling.

Seeing the Demon King Killing Sacred Sword’s reaction, Shun knew that the other party might have thought for a moment, wondering why this human had the ability to withstand such power.

Shun was very familiar with the past and the true nature of the Demon King Killing Sacred Sword, knowing that this was the best time for him to start talking about surrender and increasing his liking.

“I have the Hermit Body! I also have the ability to Abnormal Resistance, as well as many special powers. This means that no matter what kind of curse you give me, I can withstand it, so don’t worry. Your power won’t hurt me.”

When these words came out of Shun’s mouth, the vibrating sacred sword suddenly stopped and became motionless.

Est, who had felt Shun’s strength, could feel the truth of those words. She, who had waited for years for fear of hurting others, seemed to have an owner who was no longer hurt by her.

At this moment, the sacred sword was filled with dazzling light. This wasn’t Shun’s power, but a contract actively implanted by the other party.

However, this burst of light wasn’t as dazzling as before, but brilliant and soft.

The sacred sword vibrated slightly, but stopped struggling, slowly accepting the various energies flowing from Shun’s body, and merging its own divine energy with Shun’s power.

I don’t know how long time had passed, but on the back of Shun’s left hand holding the sword, a trace that looked like several swords crossed, forming a very complex pattern, was imprinted on it.

The most direct evidence of a contract with spirits.

As the spirit mark appeared, the sacred sword in Shun’s hand slowly turned into a phantom.

When everything calmed down, no matter whether it was the sacred sword, the light, or the wind and waves, everything disappeared into the air and vanished.

The entire place became silent again.

Shun still maintained the posture of holding the sword tightly, looking at the spirit mark imprinted on the back of his left hand, his eyes fluctuating.

Only he knew.

In the last moments, it wasn’t the sword spirit that was subdued, but the sword spirit that chose to accept the contract.
