Strange Grief Wants to Retire ~ The Weakest Hunter’s Hero Dream
312 Spirit Man's Curse ②
The Spirit Man (Noble). He is an unbeliever like man.
High magical qualities and intelligence. It has a longer lifespan than humans, and most of it has a beautiful appearance from a human perspective. It is said that it was even recognized as a god in ancient times. Without the weakness in the absorption and fertility of the Mana Materials, they must have dominated the world by now.
I'm not that familiar with it either, but it seems that the connection between the Spirit Man and the human society was complicated and varied from time to time.
Sometimes they were worshipped, and others were abominated, and fought over bone and flesh. At present, the relationship with humans is to a certain extent good, and spirits are not disgusted in any city, but there are still few opportunities to encounter them in the city of people. Many of you have never seen a live spirit person, because you rarely encounter one in the metropolis of Imperial City, Zebuldia.
Footsteps of the Beginning belongs to a party composed solely of Spirits, the Holy Thunder of the Stars , which is a very rare example. They are proud, in human society, and do not meet human beings. I am the opposite of who I am. [M]
And the Spirit Man's homeland was still known as a mysterious country.
The origin of all spirits - Yggdra.
A country where everybody knows its name, but where no one has ever been, but where it is for sure.
She is a regular member of the Monthly Stray Inn, an occult magazine that summarizes urban legends and more. I've looked into it with interest several times before. [M] Of course, I didn't think there would be a day when I could go.
Ask Citrix to retrieve Luke's Stone Statue and return to the Clan Master Room.
When Eva heard me, she opened her eyes and said in a small voice.
”Yggdra, is that...... if that's true... then it's a feat.”
At first glance, it looks like a small reaction, but I've been seeing Eva for a few years now, and I'm surprised.
That should be the case. Lucia also said that no man can enter the land of the Spirit. No, on the contrary, even the same spiritual person once left the country, it seems that it is difficult to re-enter the country.
As far as I know, there are no human hunters yet who have reached Yggdra. High level hunters are mostly trouble people who can only want to enter if they are told not to enter, but the security of the country is not unusual even though the unexpected land has not yet been maintained.
By the way, it goes without saying that Yggdra is in a magic realm that is home to many illusion beasts and demon beasts that struggle even in the depths of the forest - even high level hunters.
For a treasure hunter, it is a longing to take the first step into the uncharted land.
Eva, who is somewhat surprised, is funny and pisses off at the hardboils.
"I can't believe the day will come when any high-level hunter will challenge a country he couldn't reach..."
I mean, Eliza said you should invite me, but--if you don't, I won't go.
I'm interested in the land of the legendary Spirit Man, but I'm not willing to take on the forbidden lands where high level hunters have yet to reach. The Spirit Man is too joking, too strong... Besides, the sorcery they're good at demonstrates this superior ability in the field of defense.
“I have everything you need”
"Oh, thank you, but maybe it's okay. I have this."
"...... haha. I don't doubt that......"
Eva sighed as she clenched her temples at me as I slapped her head with my fingertips.
Forget the jokes, Citrix should be able to make preparations. All I have to think about is the souvenirs I take with me. [M]
It seemed that only a special person among the Spirits could break the powerful curse placed on Luke. And by the way, there is no one to the right to make a great man angry.
Souvenirs will have to be prepared as well. Even if it was an unnecessary consideration, it was never too bad. Fortunately, my clan has a party of spirits, [Holy Thunder of the Stars]... and I'm confident in my choice of souvenirs.
So Eva made a terrifying suggestion.
"I want Yugudra's information everywhere." The Spirit Man (Noble) is famous for not speaking... so if you can provide it, it will be a feat that leads to Level 9. "
"Merit...? I'm not interested. I'm not interested."
"That's right..."
Why should I do such a dangerous thing? [M] Nothing can be gained by buying the spirits' grudges. "Even though I'm getting along with the Lapis and the others..."
Even if you let me, I'm not going to bring the information back. As for the achievement, Mr. Gark is going to try to raise me to level 9... apparently, it's an honor for me to get a level 9 from my own branch as the branch director of the Explorer's Association.
Even though it hasn't been many years since I was raised to level 8... I'm not originally interested in glory as a hunter, but when I reach level 9, I'll be sure to burn my grandmother.
I suddenly thought of it, raised my face, and checked with Eva.
Ah, will Eva come with me?
"!?............ No, I won't go"
I see... that's a shame. It would have been a little easier for me if Ava, a common sense person, had come with me... "
If what Eliza says is true, then this time we are invited. Even though it was in the realm of magic, it wasn't that dangerous. I don't want to go where ordinary people can't go...
"I wonder if the Lapis could follow me... just Eliza is a little worried because she's at her own pace."
"The [Holy Thunder of the Stars] is still out of the Imperial City on the [Marine Cry] case... I haven't heard when she'll be back yet..."
"Hmm, sorry..."
Mr. Franz's Spiritualist Witchcraft Summoning Operation was a large-scale operation that required traffic control in the Imperial City.
I know you contacted me, but I don't think I'll be able to come back so easily. You're not here when you want to be, are you?
When I thought about it and did a big yawn, the door of the clan master room suddenly opened forcefully. A high-pitched voice echoed in his brain.
"Hah, hah... hey, hey! Yowanningen, oh, you, come on!"
"Oh...? Nice timing..."
One of the members of the [Holy Thunder of the Stars] who had just come in was Krus Argen.
She was wearing the same robe as usual, but she was carrying a big bag on her back, and her hair was disturbed and she was out of breath.
My feet are covered with mud and splashes are flying in my robe, but I really get to be a Spirit Man when it comes to painting.
As he approached, Kris clapped his hand at the desk in front of me, his eyes wide open.
"Nice, it's not the right time, it's the right time!! hah, hah..."
"Didn't you go back to town with Mr. Franz?"
"...... I was on my way back, but I got a terrible call and I just ran back!" Yowaningen, oh, you! Looks like you found the Spirit Stone of the Curse! What the hell is going on?! "
With tears in his eyes, Kurus yelled at him from a close distance. But if you let me tell you that many people have been angry, it's not very powerful.
No, I mean, I was chased... by the way, did Kriss say that the cursed spirit stone was flowing in the church? Looks like that gem among the Spirits is something special.
Unfortunately, I can't give it to Kris because I gave it to Eliza, but there are some things that are better than that.
When I clapped my hands, I said with a smile to Kriss, who twitched for a moment.
"Oh, that's the story." Fufu... I don't have any more Spirit Stones, but I have something better. I'll show you. "
"Hah, hah...? Yes, it's a good one? What the hell is going on?"
That's a good one. Moreover, unlike the Spirit Stone of the curse, this good thing doesn't try to kill me.
I stood up and gestured for a moment before calling Kurus to Mikun, who had left him in one corner of the room. Looking only at Mikun, the perfect treasure chest I imagined, Chris frowned.
"The treasure chest... it's definitely a good one?" Maybe, but it doesn't matter right now, does it! "
"Ahh, I want to get rid of Kriss, but I can't get heavy." Can someone help me? "
"!? What are you saying all of a sudden...? I'm not heavy-"
Kurus said. Mikkun grew an arm and dragged Kurus into it in an instant. In the meantime, it was only a few seconds.
Eva, who was still watching the interaction, froze and rushed over in a panic.
"W-what are you doing!?"
"Actually, Mikun seems to have an automatic storage function." Don't you think it's nice? "
It would have been perfect if it had something bigger than a treasure chest's mouth, but I didn't want to say luxury. Even with the current functions, I was able to subvert some common sense.
You must be surprised, Chris. So far, Mikun's attack success rate was 100 percent.
It's a horrible story. "After that, it would be perfect if you could go out freely from inside..."
”I'll have to let you out soon...”
"Ah, that's right...... ah!"
"!? What is it?" Is something wrong? "
If I think I've forgotten something, I was going to ask Tino to teach me how to use Ka-kun, but I forgot.
Totally, Ka-kun is as amazing as Mikun if she only has the potential... no, that's too much to say.
I touched Mikun's lid as I tried to get Kurus out. Then a cold voice was heard.
"Franz told me." It looks like you got the [Chikamami] Spirit Stone and gave it to [Wandering]. "
Lapis and the members of the Holy Thunder of the Stars came in through the door that Kurus had opened. Each had an exceptional beauty, and its leader, Lapis, had the usual impression of being cold, but the coldness of his current gaze was not in proportion.
Lapis and the others, like Cruz, were returning the favor, but there was no mess in the clothes or hair.
Maybe Kriss is a bit... sorry.
But that's not what you're saying. Not only the Lapis, but also the other members' eyes were frozen.
The Holy Thunder of the Stars is full of care. It's not good to be in a bad mood just because of a misunderstanding.
Approach the lapis with a rubbing hand.
"No, no, because there was no Lapis by chance..."
"Hmm... I don't know where I got it. I don't know what to do with the Spirit Stone, but you're free to go out of your way to kick us out of the Imperial City and recommend us to do something really interesting."
"............ You left me, didn't you?"
In the first place, that Spirit Stone wasn't something I got... and it hurt me not to have the Lapis.
If the Holy Thunder of the Stars remained in the Imperial City, the commotion might have subsided in the first place and Luke might not have become a stone...
With my righteousness, Lapis peeks at both sides. Apparently, it's a deeper problem than I thought.
When I wave, I look up at Lapis with a hard-boiled smile.
I don't have a choice. I'll show you where I stand in a while.

Lift and measure the jewelry carefully placed in the box.
The colour is clear red. It might be a sign that the jewel possessed the power of magic.
Liz's eyes blinked as she checked all the gems.
”Hmm, Sherro's cursed stone, hey... looks like a gem”
"Now, the curse is just deactivated." His Majesty Shelo's magic power is not the same as any other curse. "
"When I say cursed spirit stone, it's famous... I heard it was missing, but I can't believe it was in the Imperial City..."
Citrix said with a serious expression in response to Eliza's words.
The series of cursed disturbances the other day was all unexpected.
[Sword Saint] A black world tree that erases magic from the demonic sword that confuses the hearts of the swordsmen under the gate. In addition to the forbidden potions that destroyed many countries, the most vicious curse killing weapon that the Light Spirit Church once gave up purification. Even if I picked up one of them, the whole Imperial City would be a little noisy.
However, those spells were also clear in front of the Spirit Stone of the Curse. The scale and visibility of the damage are too different.
Designed to curse and kill all human beings, this gem was once a disaster. It seems that the damage has disappeared along the way for some reasons, but some people have definitely said that people would have perished by now if they had wielded fury like that.
"The curse was active... it's hard to think that it's been in the Imperial City for a long time"
"But you managed to contain the biggest curse...... even though our attack was barely clear."
"Hmm..."
Anthem nodded at Lucia's words.
Originally, it was difficult to understand a normal attack in a battle against a curse, but the power of that curse was powerful in a circle. After all, they didn't care about attacking the famous hunters in the Imperial City. If I had the time, I might have found a weakness, but there were definitely a lot of casualties.
Eliza says with her usual sleepy eyes.
"I've worked it out. It's all thanks to...... Cu."
"Hmph. I hope it worked... but the problem is Luke, right?"
"The potions didn't work, and it looks like Eliza's right, it's not a normal petrochemical."
There were several types of petrochemicals. If it was simply physically petrified, I could recover with potions, but this time it wasn't at that level.
The most heinous curse of the Imperial Church to purify Anthem Smart, one of the most healing powers in the church. Luke was the only one to suffer, but perhaps Liz and Lucia weren't spared the petrification.
In response to Citri's words, Eliza nodded tinyly and said with a serious expression that she could not normally imagine.
"It's taken a lot of care. Only a sorcerer of the same caliber as Majesty Xero could break this curse. Perhaps Yggdra's top... needs to meet with the Spirit Man's royal family. If we don't see him, he'll be a stone forever."
