Chapter 120 - The End is a New Beginning

The incarnation of the Blue Volcano, the Blue Flame Spirit.

The reward for hunting it was sweet.

[You have succeeded in hunting the Blue Flame Spirit.]

[You have succeeded in hunting with a single attack.]

[This is an unrecorded achievement.]

[Additional rewards are being calculated.]

…….

While the rewards were being calculated, his bloodshot eyes looked at another system window.

There were rewards from hunting the Blue Flame Spirit, but there were also private soldiers obtained here.

‘First, the less delicious one.’

──「Elmont」──

[Description]

: A man who was called the best among the collateral branches of the current generation of Millesdusk. The head of The Second Fang and a master of Poison Demon Sorcery. He used the family sorcery ‘Poisonous Spider’ freely and displayed a strong synergistic effect with his cruelty.

[Unique Skill]

: Family Sorcery Poisonous Spider

: Spider's Den

: Spider Armor

[Classification]

: Bone Sorcery / Poison Demon Sorcery / Beast Sorcery

────────

‘This is the first undead private soldier that can use family sorcery.’

If I had to say, it was a human-type undead I had acquired after a long time.

Until then, I had focused on strengthening my own power, but the foundation of a sorcerer was in the undead.

‘It’s better to turn an enemy who uses family sorcery into an undead than to learn another family sorcery.’

The undead created that way could be worn as armor, so it wouldn't be much different from learning it directly.

When his thoughts reached that point, his gaze went to the collateral branch group scattered around, fainted.

He could kill them all, but he didn't.

‘These things have another use.’

So he only implanted a safety device.

“Hide well.”

He divided the blood made of magic and injected it into the bodies of the collateral branch members.

[You’re good at doing disgusting things.]

Even at the Magic Sword’s words, the Youngest Son just shrugged his shoulders.

“I’m a coward.”

The blood injected like this would circulate in the body without any particular abnormalities.

But it could raise a sword at any time the master wished.

He had acquired a collateral branch force with just a few simple gestures.

By then, the system had also finished its work.

[Additional reward calculation has been completed.]

[Original Reward: Blue Flame Spirit’s Crystal]

….

[Additional Reward]

Rare Title

Additional Passive

──「Blue Flame in One Go」──

[Description]

: You have defeated the Blue Flame Spirit, which was dormant in the volcano, with a single attack. No one who has ever stood before the Blue Flame Spirit has been able to defeat it in a single blow. This is a great achievement.

[Effect]

: Spirits feel fear instinctively.

: Attack power against spirits increases by 20%

──────────────

[「Passive: Flame Resistance LV.5」]

[Reduces damage from the fire attribute by 80%.]

Wisdom had quite a few spirit sorcerers.

They could be seen as on par with attribute sorcerers, so it would be useful in the future.

‘The additional passive is good too.’

Reducing one worry among the attributes that exist in this world was a good thing.

Besides, if it overlapped with Blood Demonization, fire, like a curse, could not wound this body.

I’d seen all the miscellaneous stuff.

Now it was time to taste the most delicious thing.

The large-statured spirit standing here now.

The one made of blue fire was of a different nature from the Bloodflame I had handled so far.

──「Blue Flame Spirit」──

[Description]

: The Blue Flame Spirit once belonged to a great spirit master during the war between Millesdusk and Wisdom, but it fell in the volcano when the spirit master was defeated.

After that, the spirit assimilated with nature and became the incarnation of this place, bound to the volcano.

-The main body of the Blue Flame Spirit cannot leave the Blue Volcano zone.

-Only the clone of the Blue Flame Spirit can leave the Blue Volcano zone.

[Unique Skill]

: Blue Flame

[Classification]

: Spirit Sorcery / Earthbound Spirit

──────────

The system window showed the cost he had learned after using the Blue Flame earlier.

The Blue Flame Spirit could not leave this volcanic zone.

As written in the classification, it was bound like an earthbound spirit and could only use its original power here.

But apart from the location restriction, there were no other troublesome things.

That was enough.

“From the beginning, I planned to leave this here and use it as a fire to boil the elixir.”

If there had been another cost besides the location, that would have been a bigger problem.

“Besides, if it’s not that I can’t use this flame outside at all, it’s not a losing business.”

He reached for the Blue Flame Spirit.

He wanted to see its clone.

Fwooooosh─

The Blue Flame Spirit’s hands gathered as if receiving water.

The inside was now like a nest.

The sight of the heat gathering and gathering, condensing into a single point, was the moment of birth.

Poof─

Gray smoke spread for a moment.

It was a theatrical smoke that you would see in a magician's performance.

The smoke, which came from the fire but was not painful to inhale, soon subsided.

“…Is that you.”

As if answering ‘yes-‘.

The creature flew around his eyes.

I take back what I said about it not being a losing business.

The burly Blue Flame Spirit had changed to the size of a fist.

It was so round, like a soap bubble, that you would believe it if someone said it was a will-o’-the-wisp, not a spirit.

[What is this thing that looks like it will go out if you blow on it.]

From Enad’s tone, you could feel his eyes looking down on the spirit.

But this guy.

If the firepower had decreased, he just had to use it with the decreased firepower.

“Even if I use the clone, the main body is still here. In that case.”

He took out a potion bottle from his spatial artifact.

It contained unrefined Dark Elixir.

He had three bottles now, but he took only one and brought it before the spirit.

“Burn everything impure inside.”

Bobble bobble bobble.

The spirit flew with difficulty (?) in front of the bottle.

It made both hands from its fiery body and hugged the bottle tightly.

[What the hell is this.]

“Wait. The kid’s trying hard.”

[He’s just hugging it, what kind of effort is that.]

“Just wait. This guy can do things we can’t.”

The hug continued.

As it did, a warm heat touched the palm holding the bottle.

It didn't get any hotter than that.

The heat, which brought a sense of stability as if one were in a hot bath, warmed only the contents as instructed.

[…The blue flame has entered the bottle.]

It was the first abnormality after the hug, and the change started from there.

[The color….]

“It’s gradually changing.”

The Dark Elixir was gray, unlike its name.

That murky color meant impurities and brought the need for refinement.

“It’s slowly getting darker.”

Even though the color didn't look like it, it was definitely getting cleaner.

The more it was refined, the more the elixir of the East would remove its conditions one by one.

Reducing the roughness of the initial form, making it possible to take even without the curse of the Millesdusk bloodline and Yin energy resistance.

The usefulness of the Blue Flame Spirit here was exactly that.

“The first process is solved with this guy. Just this alone, there’s no problem selling it.”

The change in color stopped.

The Blue Flame Spirit soon detached from the bottle and fluttered down to his shoulder.

Enad looked inside.

[The color is darker than before, but I can’t say it’s a perfect black.]

“I told you. It’s the first process.”

After this, through the second and third processes, the Dark Elixir would be reborn in its completed form.

Of course, to do that, a few more ingredients and a little more preparation were needed.

Kuuuuuuuuuuuu─

By then, Mariella had finished docking with the ground.

It was also then that the small hot air balloon touched the volcanic ash ground.

“Young Master. Did you finish your work well?”

Jubel was the first to run over and ask.

Felson looked at the ground as usual, and the Forest Witch was not interested in anything.

Three people had come, but the person he was looking for was not seen.

“It’s finished appropriately. More importantly, where is Lubosch?”

“He is at the collateral branches’ base. He said he would check if there was any remaining information or money.”

It seemed the multi-purpose porter had gone to collect a side income.

It was sorry to interrupt, but there was work to be done.

“Have Lubosch tie up the collateral branches and take them to the branch that Lores will build. We need to negotiate a hostage situation.”

“Understood. By the way, I didn’t know the Young Master’s power reached this far.”

The Blue Flame Spirit standing tall like a temple pillar on the volcanic zone.

And the clone taking a rest on the Fifth Son’s shoulder.

It was not at all normal.

For this thing, which should have died in the explosion with the volcano, to be standing so perfectly fine.

“As usual, I won’t ask for details. Money talk is more urgent right now, isn’t it?”

“That’s right.”

He turned his body and met eyes with the person behind him.

The person who met his eyes, Lores, walked over the volcanic ash.

He handed her the first-process Dark Elixir he had just made.

“Take it.”

“…This.”

The second-generation great witch instantly noticed the change.

It wasn't just the color; she even noticed the process that had created the change.

And she also realized another process that would follow that process.

“Can I handle this big thing? I’m not sure.”

“You can do it.”

The main body of the Blue Flame Spirit had to stay in the volcanic zone and create a large amount of first-process Dark Elixir.

Then a separate manager was needed, and it was best for the Forest Witch to take on that authority.

“I get it. What do I have to do?”

“Design. The Land General Manager will be here soon, and he will fully realize what’s in your head.”

“Understood.”

She fidgeted with the first-process Dark Elixir.

And she mumbled her lips.

Because as she looked at it, she had also realized a very big problem.

“How do you mass-produce the basic form of Dark Elixir? You have to mass-produce that to boil it like this or whatever. Josephine’s blood is not infinite.”

To that problem, the previous Mains had answered thus.

They would hunt Wisdom as much as needed and lock them up like livestock to draw their blood.

But that was something that could only be done in the second act, when the boundaries between the great families had become blurred.

It couldn't be done now.

But just as the situation was different, the person holding the Dark Elixir was also different.

“When it comes to blood, I’m the expert. It’s a problem I will solve, so you do what you can.”

“……”

Lores finally nodded.

“Right. The President must have a plan. I’ll leave it to you.”

The employee’s worries ended there.

Because asking more would only increase the work.

With that kind of mindset, she decided to just do what she was told.

The employee retreated, and this time the business partner approached.

“You’ve acquired the site for the family business, but you’ve consumed the Blue Volcano.”

“That’s how it is.”

The Youngest Son was calm.

The great merchant, thinking there must be a reason for that calmness, asked.

“Do you have any additional businesses in mind?”

He had caused a loss to the family, so he had to bring in a profit that was more than just restoring the original state.

But profit didn't necessarily have to be linked to business.

Because the family was not made up of only money.

“Listen carefully. What we have to do now is─”

Fwoooosh─

“…I’m listening, but.”

The Youngest Son disappeared.

He was kidnapped by a hand that popped out of thin air.

But the pale hand from a moment ago was something that anyone with a name in the family would meet once.

“I’ll have to aim for when the meeting with the Family Head is over for the rest of the story.”

There was a lingering regret, but he turned back.

The one who was kidnapped would be in a hurry now.

“Elder Lorelin.”

“Ah, yeah.”

She, who was still not used to the title of elder, answered a beat late.

“You may not have known, but I am in the middle of a business deal with the tower master of Eclipse Hexa, Lores-nim. It’s quite a close connection.”

“…?”

Jubel smiled gently.

“I will introduce you to Tower Master Lores, so how about Elder Lorelin communicates with her and builds a business site here?”

The great merchant decided to wait leisurely while doing what he could here.
