Chapter 478: Skirmish (3)

Chapter 478: Skirmish (3)

Han-Yeol’s thoughts were running wild.

‘The two swords were just the body. The true forms are these spirits!’

Han-Yeol finally understood the true meaning.

‘Demons, mini dragons, divine beings, angels, and now spirits... If I see the heavenly race, I’m sure I’ll have seen all the high-class races.’

Han-Yeol shook his head. He had experienced a lot of different things since his awakening as a Hunter, but what he was experiencing now was too ridiculous. Honestly, he wasn't sure how his mentality was holding up.

The Spirits of Time and Space had cross marks on their foreheads, and as Han-Yeol’s mind wandered off for a moment, they grabbed Han-Yeol’s clothes and yanked him hard. Their physical strength wasn’t that strong, so they didn’t have much of an effect on Han-Yeol.

[What are you doing? I said, play with us.]

[We’re going to get pissed if you don't.]

They puffed out their cheeks with air.

‘That won’t do,’ Han-Yeol thought to himself.

From their descriptions, they weren’t beings that could easily be handled and controlled. It said that he had to have a special connection to them in order to harness their power, so he couldn’t afford to piss them off. Besides, Han-Yeol had already played with Mavros and White Dragon plenty of times before, so he was well used to parenting (?).

“Okay then, what do you want to do?”

Han-Yeol followed the Spirits of Time and Space as they led him and thought about how to play with them. He asked them what they wanted to do, but he knew all too well that nothing good would come out of their mouths. After all, how could they know how to play with humans when it was their first time being summoned by humans?

Now was the time for Han-Yeol to leave it to his own discretion.

‘I’ll need Mavros and White Dragon.’

*

Han-Yeol immediately summoned Mavros and White Dragon and skillfully played with the Spirits of Time and Space.

They started off by playing with a basic ball and later moved on to playing tag by flying in the air at high speeds.

It was no secret that they almost crashed into an airplane while playing tag in the stratosphere. Somehow, they knew that this was Han-Yeol’s doing and called Master Hee-Yun to complain. However, when Master Hee-Yun later called Han-Yeol, he insisted he knew nothing about it. Since she didn’t have any proof, it made Master Hee-Yun’s blood boil.

[Hahaha, this is so much fun!]

[Yeah, I haven’t had this much fun in a long time!]

[Who knew that humans were such a fun race! What a surprise!]

[Every race that has summoned us so far has been so lame!]

[Yeah, so lame!]

[Hella lame!]

“Ahhh.”

Scratch scratch.

Han-Yeol laughed and scratched his head at the Spirits of Time and Space. They had already become quite familiar with the ways of humans.

The Spirits of Time and Space watched TV and internet broadcasts while Han-Yeol was resting, and they had already begun to adopt the trendy human language.

‘I have to have some kind of connection to the spirits now.’

He couldn’t guarantee that his relationship with them was perfect, but the spirits now acted more gently than the first time they met Han-Yeol.

The spirits suddenly looked at each other and murmured something, and then they turned back to face Han-Yeol.

[This should be enough, right?]

[Yeah, it’s more than enough.]

‘Huh?’

[Human, what’s your name?]

“My name is Lee Han-Yeol.”

[Lee Han-Yeol... Humans sure do have strange names, and they vary from dimension to dimension.]

[I know, right?]

“Ahaha.”

[We’re spirits born from time and space, and I’m Alfiano, a spirit born from time.]

[...]

Han-Yeol and Karvis always quarreled with each other.

Nonetheless, a message that the contract had been finalized appeared in front of Han-Yeol, and even unusual fanfares congratulated this moment.

This time as well, a message that the God of Balance was concerned appeared. However, Han-Yeol was so used to it by now that he didn’t even care.

‘Whatever, I don’t care.’

[This concludes our contract.]

[We are one with Han-Yeol from now on.]

[We’ll be in your care, Han-Yeol. Hehehe!]

[Let’s play oftennnn!]

[Yayyyy!]

‘Ahahaha.’

Han-Yeol had a bad feeling that things were going to get necessarily more complicated now.

‘Tsk, I’ll have to be satisfied with this.’

[Yayyyyy!]

After completing the contract with Alfiano and Delfusia, Han-Yeol tried to stay with them as much as possible to get used to utilizing the power of time and space. There were many attributes in the world, but time and space were the most versatile of them all.

Han-Yeol was enjoying his peaceful time when an urgent message arrived.

Bam!

The door slammed open, and one of Han-Yeol’s subordinates, Barshell, rushed in.

[Harkan-nim, we have a problem!]

Huff huff!

No one in the canidae could compare to Barshell in movement, but even he was gasping for air. Han-Yeol could tell that something was definitely wrong when he saw Barshell.

“What’s wrong, Barshell?”

[T-That’s um...]

Barshell was always stern and cold, but even he was hesitating to speak in front of Han-Yeol.

‘Just what could it be?’

This only made him more curious and anxious.

[Haaa.]

Barshell calmed down and started to report what he had seen to Han-Yeol.

*

Bam!

“What?”

Han-Yeol was both surprised and enraged after hearing Barshell’s report. He released mana as if there were an explosion around him. Then he slammed his fist down on the table in front of him, splitting it in two. He gritted his teeth, showing how enraged he was right now.

“I-Is that true...?”

[Unfortunately, it is.]

Barshell was also gritting his teeth.

Han-Yeol was human now and technically no longer a Bastroling. However, Barshell was still a Bastroling, and he owed the hyenas so much money that the interest alone was soon going to exceed the original amount of debt. Given the circumstances, it was a miracle that he was still standing and reporting to Han-Yeol.

“Those damn hyenas. What do they think they’re doing!”

The reason Han-Yeol was so angry was simple. One of the Bastroling villages scattered throughout the Atarinia Archipelago, a community of scholarly deer and Bastrolings with weaker combat skills, had been attacked by hyena sorcerers. The only survivors were a few children who hid relatively quickly.

“Let’s go to the Atarinia Archipelago right now.”

[Yes, Harkan-nim.]

Han-Yeol immediately got on the private plane and headed for the Atarinia Archipelago.

‘If I only had the ability to create portals like P, I wouldn’t have to take such a tiresome flight.’
