The Tutorial Is Too Hard

The Summon Point was the ground.

When I was floating high in the sky, I could easily spread the distance.

[Soldier, what is this? Should I kill him?]

[The aftermath of being summoned as an apostle. Leave it alone.]

I stopped the couple asking if they were going to kill the chief. I kept watching the summoning.

The Summon Point could easily be built for a specific purpose.

We just need to find the center where all the power is.

At that point, heaven and earth were shaking.

It was powerful enough to add a clear message of caution.

If an ordinary challenger wanders around without following a message, he will die of exhaustion upon summoning.

The process of summoning was overwhelming.

A low vibration resonates, and the room flutters, revealing the apostle on the ground.

Surprisingly, even after the summoning, the surrounding force remained intact.

I thought this power was the magical power used to summon the existence of an apostle here.

But now it appears that the power that the apostle is holding is just flowing out.

The existence of the "Apostle" was over four meters in size.

Although he was in the shape of an early human being, it was not very similar.

It resembles a fairy genie from Aladdin's lamp.

The eyewear did not exist, and the body was somehow translucent.

Looking at it quietly, like seeing a ghost or a spirit, I felt like I shouldn't exist in this world.

The summoned creature looked up at me in the sky.

And I said,

[Come down.]

He speaks.

You don't even have a mouth.

Digging directly into his head, he goes down without a word.

Despite the overwhelming power of violence, the power was deeply fragmented.

We can't be attacked for no reason. If we see the message, we're allies.

As we quickly descended to the ground, the Apostle said again.

[Greetings.]

Unlike what he looked like, he was a pudgy human apostle.

Say hello.

“Yes, nice to meet you. ”

[Short speech. Do you have any idea the age difference between you and me?]

He was a very human apostle.

You're so old fashioned.

“Yay, nice to meet you. ”

[…….]

The apostle expressionlessly.

I had no choice but to show my face.

I don't have the necessities.

[As expected... You're a promising challenger. Kill all the variants and summon me.]

The apostle said.

In the Apostle's words, there was a mixture of words that the Apostle thought he would not mention.

Challenger.

It was definitely a reference to the people that the tutorial system summoned into it.

[I thought the power of the challenger on the 40th floor was unusually great, but my body can't even keep up with its own hardships. Clearly out of specification.]

I don't think this apostle is talking to me, but he's muttering to himself.

“Is that so?”

[Yes, of course. In the beginning, these variants were beings that 40 layers of challengers couldn't easily kill. It's just a slow pace and the right order to confirm the existence of the source and summon me while they're chasing us.]

Now I was pretty sure.

“Apostle, do you know about the tutorial? ”

[Of course. I know the tutorials, the challengers, and you in pieces.]

It was unexpected.

I never thought I'd find myself in the middle of a stage aware of the tutorial.

[As an apostle, I am responsible for welcoming challengers here. A guide, I suppose. It also teaches me on the way to the right path.]

I was really surprised.

My accident won't keep up with the Apostle's words.

Showing up to help and guide a challenger? Here?

Why here?

It'd be nice to see you from the first floor.

The Apostle said that he saw my hesitant expression.

[Is that so strange? Isn't it a tutorial? It's a place to adapt and become strong, so you need to have this guidance.]

The Apostle's words suck. His words go up to his throat.

I could see the difference between that apostle and my perception of the tutorial.

The apostle literally understood the tutorial as a tutorial.

Before the game begins, a tutorial to understand the situation and familiarize yourself with the basics.

[May I introduce myself. I am Allenhal, an apostle of the God of Nature. Call me Allenhal.]

“Allenhal.”

[Attach character.]

“ ……. ”

[Challenger, what is your name?]

“Please call me Ho. ”

At the end of the sentence, I could hardly bear it.

[An alias with no last name and no last name.]

[Anyway, it was good to use an alias. So far it has been okay, but you should continue to use only pseudonyms.]

It was vast.

Suddenly you want me to use a pseudonym.

“May I ask why? ”

[The name of existence confirms existence by itself. It is inevitable that the more you rise, the greater the thread of truth will be.]

Yes, he replied.

Honestly, I don't understand, but I'll say yes.

Let's ask Kirikiri again for details.

[Surrendering your true calling is like risking your own life. If there is such a person, he is either an arrogant fanatic or an overwhelming strongman who can defend his life against the world.]

Again, "Oh, yeah, right. 'I replied.

The apostle gave an explanation without being asked.

It reminds me of a knight who lives somewhere.

He was a truly human apostle.

The Spirit King reminds me of something quiet and emotionless.

Speaking of that, the Spirit King replied that he had met a lot of human contractors in the past.

[I have a question for you, too.]

“What is it?”

If I asked you a question, you'd never ask me again.

[Why didn't you grow a spirit?]

[You smell of spirits. It's weak. It's blessed by a Spirit and has enough affinity with Spirits. I'm even with a spirit.]

It seemed to speak of the Wind Spirit and its blessings.

Obviously, I didn't care about it or use it after the beginning.

I didn't want to raise him.

[You have the gift of a spirit. Those abilities and affinities would have grown enough spirits. Perhaps it could have reached me through that spirit. It must have been a great help to your journey. I want to know why they exposed the spirit.]

I don't know who the Spirit King is, but I brought up a topic about spirits.

The reason was simple.

Often using the blessing of a Wind Spirit, one or two related skills began to appear.

Spirit Affinity, Summon Spirit.

I've thought a lot about using them.

But it wasn't because I thought it would eventually become a form of borrowing power from someone else.

The clearer I felt the spirit's power, the stronger it became, the less I felt it pleased me.

Not only was I reluctant to empower others, but I also needed to focus more on my own growth at that time.

As the Spirit King was training himself, he reasonably surrounded himself with no time.

[Maybe. Maybe. Then, is it the same reason that the sword contains only one soul?]

The Spirit King pointed at the Soul Sword embedded in my waist.

Yeah? Yeah.

[There must be tens of thousands of souls that cannot fit on that sword. Didn't you know?]

I didn't know, ever.

When I bought the sword, I had never heard of it since.

The description pane of the item, by Kirikiri.

This time, I thought I was somewhat overwhelmed by what the Spirit King said.

As soon as you clear the stage, I'll extend Kirikiri's cheeks.

As the Spirit King has said, if you put tens of thousands of souls into the sword, you will see the effect.

Soul Swords are enhanced by loaded souls.

Not only does it improve durability and consistency, but it also causes mental damage every time a creature is cut with a strange ear.

There was also an effect of holding it that prevented dizzy ghosts and demons from reaching out.

Even when I put one of Sergia's souls in, I wasn't sure what it would do when I put tens of thousands of them in.

Of course, I didn't intend to force a lot of souls into it unless Ceasar agreed.

There are already residents living alone, but we can't force them to move in.

Even if you don't put more souls in it, it's already quite useful.

I decided to discuss it with Sergia later.

[If you can spare some time later, talk to the Young Wind Spirit who is with you.]

“I understand.”

I answered quietly.

I could not say that I would never come close to the Spirit in front of the Spirit King.

It's like saying to your daughter, "I'll treat her in front of you."

[Help the messenger kill the monster from the source.]

A message appeared before my eyes.

It was a repetition of what I had seen before.

This never happened.

[I take it the gods are not pleased with your conversation with me.]

“Is that so? ”

[Just like that. More than half the gods. Let's go. We'll talk about it on the way.]

The Spirit King says so and turns to the lake.

And walked away.

Moving a faint bridge.

“What are you doing? ”

[What are you doing? I'm walking towards the monster from the source.]

at the same speed that my nephew used to walk in the playground when he was a kid.

Given the power of the Spirit King, there was no distance to the lake.

This slow movement was an attitude of wanting to be as slow as possible, and frankly, as a result of the message.

I walked in line with the Spirit King's slow pace.

“Can I do this? ”

[Yes. It's not the first time, so don't worry. It doesn't matter that the God of Nature ordered us to have as many conversations as possible before I was summoned.]

God of nature.

Not the kind of god you'd feel familiar with.

Rather, I belonged to a god who looked down on me.

I couldn't help but burn, crush, and contaminate everything around me on a fictional day.

I thought the Spirit King, an apostle from the God of Nature, had bad feelings for me, but he was kinder than I thought.

[Don't you have something better to ask me? I can't answer all your questions, but I can tell you quite a lot. Ask any questions you may have about this opportunity.]

It was as he said.

I asked coldly, rather than giving up the opportunity.

“What is the purpose of the tutorial? ”

[Primarily empowering challengers to eradicate the existence of the source, and secondarily selecting new apostles. That's it. The third reason I can't tell you is that by the time this stage is over, you'll have a pretty good idea.]

The apostle told me exactly what I wanted.

I put his answer in my head and asked him the next question.

“Are the monsters on Earth the monsters from that source? ”

[Yes.]

“Why don't the apostles and gods defeat the monsters themselves?" ”

It was the biggest question.

Why the gods who create tutorials to summon and grow people into a new world are not directly involved on Earth.

In the design of the tutorial, the gods had a deep understanding of Earth's culture and borders.

With the ability, capacity and information to do so, he wondered why they chose to summon challengers and grow them.

[I can't answer that for sure. The answer is puzzled, as other gods may find it offensive to have a god appear.]

The answer was not as clear as he said.

It was an answer I had to think about a little more.

Let's ask Kirikiri again.

I have not answered, but now that I have some relevant information, I may give a different answer than before.

“Here's the next question. What should an apostle of God do? ”

[The third purpose of the tutorial I told you about is the apostle's work.]

It was a lot to suggest.

The mission of the apostle is to establish the third purpose of the tutorial.

The second purpose was to select apostles.

It was an indication that the gods sought an apostle through a tutorial to clearly instruct on a mission, not just to strengthen or play.

The meaning of the apostle was greater in the tutorial than I thought.

“Then what is the monster of origin? ”

[The story will be easy to understand after eradicating the existence of the source. It's the lake soon. Ask the last question.]

You hear the sound of water.

The sound of waves rolling along the lake as a giant monster roams through the lake.

“Is that all you have? ”

Are you talking about power?]

“That's right.”

[Why do you even ask?]

“Just answer the question. ”

It was complicated.

An unexpected situation ensued, and more embarrassing information flooded in.

I was busy remembering, organizing and analyzing the information.

Nevertheless, I could not concentrate easily on the information I received.

Ever since the summoned Spirit King, my mind has been stuck with one thought.

Can I really kill this Spirit King?

I don't see how that's possible.
