A Frontline Soldier Awakened as a Gamer In The War!

Chapter 117: (2)

Rieka whispered something to the Spirits. After a lengthy conversation, she returned about five minutes later.

So, what did they say?

[Firstly, this place is indeed Havemime.]

Havemime? Then Canien deliberately sent me here.

Kaiyan had wondered if falling into the abyss had caused some accident, but if this place was really Havemime, it seemed Canien had intentionally sent him here.

And?

[They dont know about the continent of Eunasia. Theyve lived here for a long time and dont know much about other places. Oh! And about leaving]

What, they dont know how to leave?

If even the resident Spirits didnt know how to exit, the situation seemed dire. He needed some clue to find a way out.

[They said that only a mid-tier Spirit can leave this place. They dont know where it leads, though.]

What do you mean?

[You know that Spirits are graded based on their energy, right?]

Yes, Ive read about it.

In the past, when Spirits existed in the continent of Eunasia, there were Spirit Masters and Elves who handled them. The Spirit Masters used the mystical power of Spirits for magic-like abilities. Especially the few who handled top-tier Spirits were known to wield immense power, sometimes equal to natural disasters.

[If we had to grade, all these are low-tier Spirits. Thats why their energy isnt that strong.]

Right They struggled against that large monster.

Had he not appeared, the griffin-like Spirit might have fallen prey to the alligator monster. The strength they displayed was quite weak. Kaiyan didnt know exactly what abilities the Spirits had, but their combat power seemed equivalent to a mid-sized monster.

[They said when one becomes a mid-tier Spirit, a door opens, and they must go through it.]

A door? But do they know where it leads?

[They dont. They only sense the aura of the World Tree emanating from it and feel compelled to go. The problem is, lower-tier Spirits cant pass through it.]

The aura of the World Tree So, theres no World Tree here?

[No, there isnt a World Tree in this place.]

Rieka explained that the World Tree is a sacred tree that provides energy to Spirits. Without it, Spirits cant recover their power and die once they exhaust all their energy. That was why Kaiyan had to give up on the griffin-like Spirit. But now, the absence of the World Tree was perplexing.

If theres no World Tree, Spirits cant breathe, right?

[Ah, thats a metaphor! Without the World Tree, they cant recover their strength.]

So, they die without it, right? How are they surviving here then?

[They barely manage to live off the energy released by the door when it opens. Poor things!]

Thats odd

Dozens of Spirits in a place without a World Tree? It was baffling.

So, if these Spirits all become mid-tier, does that mean they will all leave Havemime?

[Not exactly. New low-tier Spirits flow into this place each time the door opens. They all came here the same way but didnt remember anything before entering. Ah! But one thing they know for sure this place is Havemime.]

Who would do such a thing? And for what purpose?

Someone was deliberately moving mid-tier Spirits while sending in low-tier ones. It was unnatural.

Ha The more I know about this place, the more complicated it gets.

Initially, Kaiyan thought it was simple he was lucky to be alive. But the more he learned about Havemime, the more uneasy he felt. Perhaps he might never return to the continent of Eunasia.

Maybe I should just hunt monsters like that alligator creature? If accumulating G-points could lead to a way out.

[Yes, the store could be used. Although its not certain if this is really a pocket dimension, there should be a way out. But it would require a high-level magic scroll, so it will cost a lot of G-points.]

Either way, it meant he had to hunt monsters.

Phew Maybe I should just think of this as entering a habitat. Rieka, should we ask the Spirits where the monsters are?

[Do you want me to ask where the monsters are?]

No, that wont be necessary.

[Why not?]

They are coming here.

Kaiyan sensed beings with a cold aura unique to this place within his expanded sensory range, similar to the alligator monster he had encountered earlier, along with the distinct killing intent of monsters.

Kyauut? Kaauuut!

Kuuu! Kuu!

[The Spirits seem to have sensed the monsters! They are panicking!]

Tell them to calm down. Theyre all mine. I cant afford to share even one.

Rieka quickly returned after briefing the Spirits.

[Are you sure youll be alright? You dont have a sword. Maybe we should use the store]

Its okay. Ill have to wield a sword again eventually, but not now.

[But]

As Rieka mentioned, the only downside was the absence of a sword.

Though he hadnt used a sword for long, the player system made it feel like decades of experience. To fight an unknown number of monsters without a sword was risky, even with his growth.

I cant let it be like the situation with Canien.

Despite his impressive stats, he couldnt finish off Canien, not due to a lack of strength, but because he didnt have his sword.

I cant say I failed because I didnt have a sword next time.

He had painfully realized that while focusing on strengths was good, addressing weaknesses was also crucial.

And now was the perfect opportunity to address that weakness.

His fist clenched firmly, confidence surged even without a sword.

A sword that has slain thousands, tens of thousands? Then Ill do the same with my fists.
