As I rotated my body, I unleashed another wind slash towards its unprotected back where no barrier was deployed. Although I managed to disrupt its posture, its body seemed quite tough as well, showing no signs of injury. It seemed that to damage this evil spirit, I’d need to land a direct hit with my wind blade. But could I pull it off?
As I pondered this, the surrounding walls cracked loudly, and parts of the walls, cut into rectangles, came flying at me.… Read more

A high-pitched sound, similar to metal clashing, rang out in the space. The shockwave generated by the collision of high-density spiritual powers shattered the surrounding stained glass, scattering light.
Salamander’s attack didn’t damage the evil spirit, but it did loosen the binding technique.
Determined not to miss this moment, Rourke released all the spiritual power from his body, forcibly breaking the restraint just as Salamander had done.
“Hurricane Sword!”
As soon as he could move, Rourke activated the sword spirit enhancement through his lesser spirit.… Read more

Come to think of it, it’s amazing I managed to beat that thing.
From the beginning to the middle of the match, I was able to make it waste spiritual power thanks to the typical noble’s carelessness and arrogance. But if we fought again, I’d probably just turn into charcoal.
While I was thinking about this, the Dryad removed the wooden wall as the heat wave subsided. All that remained in front of us were charred, crumbling black trees.… Read more

Chapter 3: The Fury of the Evil Spirit
“Well, shall we get going?”
“Yes.”
“Alright.”
Leia and I slowly stand up at Celia’s words. Our rest is over, and it’s finally time to depart.
“Then, Gareth, I’m counting on you.”
“Yeah, I’ll keep an eye on Lily.”
“Don’t forget the souvenir.”
“What souvenir?”
I feel a bit uneasy about leaving Lily here, but with Gareth around, it should be fine. Well, he’s quite the unpredictable one too.… Read more
Spirit Master Who Is Volume 1 Chapter 2 part 6
The important thing to remember is that while spirits don’t have a concept of death, they lose their rank and power if they’re banished.
Except for contracted spirits.
That’s right—everything I’ve said so far applies only to wild spirits or those bound by simple contracts through spiritual power.
Contracted spirits, on the other hand, are linked to their summoner through a contract sigil. Though they might temporarily be unable to manifest, they can generally recover within a day or two, depending on the summoner’s spiritual power, and return as if nothing happened.… Read more

What I used was an elemental enchantment technique on the sword spirit through the lesser spirit, but honestly, I didn’t want to use this from the start. This technique is a common attribute-granting skill that channels fire-attribute spiritual power into the sword spirit through the lesser spirit, but there’s a problem.
[Sword of Karmic Fire] pours an enormous amount of spiritual power into the sword spirit, right up to its limit, to produce firepower effective even against high-ranking spirits.… Read more

As Gareth draws his magic sword from its scabbard, his contracted spirit appears beside him.
With a body larger than a normal tiger or lion, covered in gray fur and emanating cold air from its entire body, its appearance was majestic and somewhat eerily beautiful.
Beowulf the Ice Wolf – that’s the name of his partner, the contracted spirit.
Beowulf, capable of both ranged attacks and close combat without any weaknesses, and able to fight without using flashy techniques, is the perfect spirit for the current situation.… Read more

“That being said, be careful. You never know what might happen in such places. Especially since you have your own secrets to keep.”
“…I understand.”
Owen, knowing my circumstances, ends with a teasing warning, to which I respond with a sigh while scratching my head.
As a side note, it was later revealed that Leia the priestess of the Flame Dragon would be part of the exploration team. When I tried to decline, Gareth and Lily stopped me with all their might.… Read more

As we were performing this silly comedy routine, a voice called out from the seat behind us, and we turned around. Celia was sitting in the seat right behind us, smiling cheerfully.
“Hey, Celia. It’s rare to see you sitting in front, isn’t it?”
“Fufu, just for today. I came when I saw you all sitting in the front.”
“So you have some business with us?”
Hearing Celia’s words, I said with certainty.… Read more

Chapter 2: Exploring Ancient Ruins
The day after being forced to attend a mentally draining discussion and an evening banquet I couldn’t refuse, I was walking to the academy with an exhausted expression on my face.
“Hey, Rourke, good morning!”
“…Yeah.”
“You look really tired. What’s wrong?”
Gareth, who joined me on the way to our first class, whispered with a worried look on his face.
“Ah, it’s just yesterday’s fatigue… As expected, those fancy places don’t suit a commoner like me.”… Read more
