The spirit King, Zephyr!

after feeling a strong wave of mana, Lisa and Leon headed out to explore its source. Of course, they recognized that it was Connor's so they took their time walking.

"Even if he was to cause trouble, it's not like we can stop him!" Lisa said with a worried smile.

"Hahaha! Yeah, I guess that's right!" Leon replied.

In the adventurer guild.

"This concluded your registration, please follow me to the training ground for the practical exam!" The receptionist said while shaking, she still feels a bit unwell after discovering Chris and Kinryuu's Identity.

They walked slowly as she explained.

They're going to be two exams, A physical test and a magical one, Both are direct fights!

In each fight, Connor is going to fight a B-ranked instructor who is an experienced adventure assigned by the guild! Connor needs to at least get their approval, winning is optional, all he needs is to get them to say that he has potential!

Thank god's, this will at least decrease how much I have to do!

They reached the training ground, there stood a tall man swinging his sword in excitement! The moment he saw them he rushed to the guild receptionist.

"Is he here? I hear that I could spar with the legendary hero!" His eyes were sparkling, joy can be seen flowing from his eyes.

"That correct, he's here!" She pointed at Connor beside her.

"Please be easy on me!" Connor said with a gentle smile and a slight bow, trying to impress the instructor to increase his chances of getting approval.

"Master Hero!" The instructor bowed a deep bow, so much that he almost smashed his face on his knees!

Connor was confused, the receptionist, Chris, and Kinryuu on the other hand seem to have already expected this.

"To spar with the legendary hero is a great honor for, please take care of me!" He said with a firm voice!

"Just imaging what a fan would do if he got the chance to dance with his favorite Idol, this is the situation we're in now!" Chris said, getting the Idea directly through Connor's thick skull.

"Let's have some fun, shall we!" Connor said with a smile, the instructor rushed to the arena.

In the first test, The candidate Connor Von Eric Hakai Monke will face Instructor and adventurer Liba In a one-on-one physical fight! Only martial Skills are allowed!

Facing each other, Connor hesitated to draw his sword. Even without enchantment or magic, with how ridiculously high his strength and speed are he could mistakenly slice Liba in half! On the other hand, Liba is already swinging his sword in excitement!

Adventures can be seen gathering to watch the fight, some even started betting money on it!

"Fight!" the Receptionist screamed to start the fight.

"Hiiiiiiiii!" Liba Rushed at Connor at top speed, his poster tilted to the front.

[Sword Arts: Vertical slash]

Connor dodged the attack easily by moving to the side. He seems far slower than Alen was, Connor thought it was just an experience and strength gap.

[Sword Arts: Viper fang] Just before his swing could end, Liba bent his body like a snake, turning the slash directly at Connor in what looked like an extreme move.

!! Connor was taken by surprise, the blade was already close to his face.

Shit, Ariel didn't warn me! Connor jumped backward to dodge the attack and barely succeeded, the sword slightly cut his nose.

[Sowrd Arts: Viper Dance] Again and without wasting any momentum, Liba keeps a continuous slash at Connor, as if his sword is a booming missile aiming for Connor's head.

"Hiiiiiiiiiiiii!"

This is absurd! Ariel isn't responding, and what with this man's terrifying style, he wound even let me alone for a second.

Connor tried to count bare-handed but stooped each time as he almost got his hand sliced.

Connor think! Ariel isn't responding, why is that... Think you monkey brain!

No, I can't do that now, firstly I have to deal with this man in front of me!

Connor finally decided to draw his sword, but instead of a normal grip, he was holding it from the tip of the blade.

Everyone looked in surprise as Connor was about to unleash his first real attack in the fight!

[Mace Arts: Heavy smash] using the sword as a mace and swinging At Liba with the hilt! Nobody expected him to do something like this.

Boom! Liba tried to block it but to no avail, his sword shared from the impact as did Connor's. The sheer force of the attack sent Liba flying to the wall. Coughing blood he fell unconscious!

"The... The Winner is Connor!! Healers!!!" The guild receptionist screamed.

Liba was messed up, his arms broke, his Collar bone was poking from his chest. Blood is gushing from the back of his head.

{Notice: Congratulation!}

Hol the F up! Why didn't you respond earlier?

{Notice: The laws of the match stated that only Martial skills were allowed, I'm a magical skill and you seemed to want a fair fight!}

We talk later, let's heal the man! Connor rushed toward Liba move away let me heal him!! He screamed.

When he reached him Liba was already healed Kinryuu have taken care of it.

"You seem to need more training kid, losing your temper and unleashing too much power, you might be strong but not an expert!" Kinryuu commented.

"The old man is right! Try to be more gentle with humans since they are too frail!" Chirs said with a serious tongue that didn't sound like him. he was speaking from the experience of living there for more than 200 years!

"HaHa Haaaaaaa!" Liba woke up.

"Am sorry, I didn't mean to do that, I ..." Liba stopped Connor with a single gesture pointing at his nose.

"I fought the hero, pushed him back, managed to wound him, and survived the fight! That's a story to tell the grandkids if I ever heard one!!!!"

Chris smiled, Liba didn't act as he expected and stayed calm.

"I thought you would be angrier, it takes a big heart to forgive someone for almost killing you!"

Liba looked at Chris, smiled, and said.

"This might sound rude of me to say to someone who saved my life but if you experienced it before, Lossing to the hero and serving is a thing, and being spared by a devil is another thing! Wind Devil!" Liba seems to already know Chris's identity. It was the guild staff who told him that the hero was accompanied by the thunder lord and the wind devil.

Kinryuu burst into laugher, "This is a strong one! To think he saw your winds!"

Chris used his winds in the fight to absorb most of Connor's attack power, cushioning him against the impact! for that, he seemed grateful.

Liba was sent to the nursing room for further inspection, you can never be too sure, It was time for the magic test, Connor got ready this time he has Ariel.

Suddenly a man came rushing at the receptionist, he seemed worried as sweat was dripping from his forehead!

"I can't find her!" He said, barely able to keep his breath.

"Find her, NOW" The receptionist screamed at him.

"Is there a problem?" Connor asked in confusion.

"Nothing, your match will be ready soon! Please..." She replied before being interrupted by Kinryuu.

"She ran away, didn't she! The magic Instructure!" Kinryuu seems to have caught wind of what happened.

"That's... we will get her back here soon!" she replied with a fearful voice.

"Don't bother, she won't come back even if it meant to fight to the death!" Chris replied.

"I felt a very decent mana blob moving away, that must have been hers! if she was that skillful she must have sensed our magic and decided to never set foot in front of us!"

"Your right, especially Connor's since he can't very much hide it!" Chris added up.

"That won't be an issue, I can feel a more strong, big, and spicey magic close by!" Kinryuu said.

{Notice: The crimson witch of flame and the rampaging berserker have entered engaging distance!} Connor received a sudden warning from Ariel.

Crash! something heavy fell from the sky blasting dust all over the place.

Connor looked in awe. A giant muscular man with a woman sitting on his shoulder fell from the sky, even he who isn't that much attuned to magic could know immediately, those are the people Ariel warned him about.

"Guild master! Guild vice-master!" The receptionist screamed as she saw Lisa and Leon.

"Ara, Ara! Hero-san we have come to play!" Lisa said with a menacing voice.

"Honey I don't think that's a great idea!" Leon objected.

"Come on! He won't die if I burned him slightly!" She said.

"Can you give me chance to speak? Do any of you care to explain since I can't keep up!" Connor said.

"We felt your magic so we came to greet you! If you're here that means you're taking the guild test so we will be the instructors!" Lisa said.

"No, you can't! he has already taken the physical test! Even you vice-master can't break the rules! Say something guild master!" The receptionist said with an extremely tired face.

"She is right, we can't break the rules!" Leon said.

As she heard that, Lisa poked him on the side with an angry face.

"Who cares? Rules are made to be broken, that what adventures are!" Leon corrected himself.

"I'm out, deal with this yourself!" The receptionist left with an angry face.

"Now with all the obstacles out of the way, let's see what you're made of!" Lisa.

"Hold up I didn't agree to anything yet!" Connor said looking for Chris and Kinryuu.

{Notice: They retreated as to not get caught in the fight!}

"Darling, on him!" Lisa said as she leaped from Leon's shoulder, the blood started to rush into his veins! The already massive man got even bigger.

"Grwaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!" The next thing Connor knew was Leon's punch in his face, or rather on his whole upper body, Leon's fist was that big!

For a split second, Ariel forcefully took over Connor's body, jumping backward to minimize the impact as Connor didn't react in time.

"Ariel!!!" Connor screamed, Ariel stand appeared behind him from thin air, menacingly posing with one leg slightly up while floating.

Ariel looked more defined, the golem who previously looked vaguely human now has a more smooth look to it! A light-brown, doll-like body. three mesh eyes, The hero's symbol who was engraved on the holy maiden back is also engraved on the golem's stomach! The golem had no hair, just a helmet-like hat.

Leon felt a menacing power from the golem, his instinct are screaming, this thing is dangerous!

Connor pointed at Leon, his eyes started to glow blue.

Ariel moved forward, Leon took a defensive stance.

"ARA!" Connor screamed and along with his scream, Ariel unleashed her first strike, A straight punch toward Leon.

"GRWAAAAAA!" Leon counted with a punch of his own, their fists clashed unleashing a massive shockwave, shaking the whole training arena!

ARA, ARA, ARA, ARA, ARA, ARA, ARA, ARA, ARA, ARA, ARA, ARA! A punch after the other, she kept throwing, And Leon kept countering, at some point he had drawn his Battleaxe and started swinging it! nonetheless, Ariel blocked each of his attacks.

The intensity of the fight made some adventure trow up from excitement, It was the first time they saw the guild master fight this furiously this close. for them, this was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!

Mages especially seemed to start sweating buckets, they knew how hard its to control a golem, The large amount of mana needed. They can very well understand why the magic in Instructure noped out of a fight with Connor! He is simply standing there with his hand in his pocket, menacingly!

[Wind Magic: Fly] Ariel copied it from Chris in Xaviin's fight, she was just using it to make the golem float, now Connor is using it to majestically levitate, he started to ascend without changing his poster.

Before, having Ariel fight like this would take more than half of her processing power which impact my magic usage! You can see her as a GPU, if you're playing a game at full resolution, most likely you won't be able to edit videos!

But now after she got her [Core] Her processing power raised significantly, Right now her usage is hovering around 7~11%, this leaves me a huge room for magic processing.

My enemy is the milf mage! what was her name again? Ariel did have it stored right?

{Notice: I did, Lisa Strongheart, Leon Strongheart's wife and secretary, The adventurer guild Vice-master. Also known as The crimson witch of flame, pyromaniac!}

I know, you imprinted that shit into my brain! What did you expect?

{Notice: And she is?}

Better than me with fire magic, I know!

Wait I thought of something! What do you call a milf that is good with fire magic?

{Notice: What?}

A hot milf! Hahahahahahah,

{Notice: That wasn't funny, you better look forward before you get clapped by that hot milf of yours!}

Kya! Clap clap, who do you think am...(Connor glanced forward for a moment and he saw a red-hot spear of fire flying toward his face)...Shit! That's a big stick! He teleported immediately and dodged the attack.

Back into the distance, Chris destroyed the fire spear before it could land and hit anyone!

Despair can be seen appearing in the face of the mages watching, first, he was flawlessly controlling the golem and now he is floating?! The moment he teleported in front of them they lost all hope of winning. some of them have passed out from shock!

Connor appeared floating above the arena, looking down on Lisa.

[Water Magic: Mist storm]

He uttered four words, "Am coming for you!" The arena was engulfed in the thick mist!

...

In a far land, an elf was sitting on one of Yggdrasil's branches.

"This is turning ugly, didn't expect fu**ing orcs to show up!" He said.

Multiple voices started to boom around him.

"Wind queen expected them...them...them!"

"He is kinda dumb... dumb...dumb"

"You should have listened...listened..listened"

"Let's, Rumble!... Rumble!... Rumble!"

He shook his head, ignoring the endless voices.

"Be quiet for a moment, I'm trying to concentrate!"

"There you are!" A woman voice came from behind, Under the tree shadow, with flowing blond hair adorned with a dress of emerald green leaves. She sat beside him.

"This has turned into a real mess!" She looked down at the Orcs.

"True, they came this close to the tree! I haven't expected that!"

She gave him a doubting look.

"You expected nothing, Were you thinking with your meat?"

"Sydney we had this talk before! elves and dark elves were in war so I tried to make peace between them! I never expected the truce to attack an Orc invasion!"

"Rotgar gonna be mad!" she said with a worried face.

Garnt remembered his training with the sword lord Rotgar, cold sweat dripped from his back.

"We better start cleaning before they do more damage!" Grant said as he stood up.

"On the other hand, you know... Those orcs are kinda hot!" Sydney said looking down.

Garnt stopped and looked at her, his face full of disappointment, why now? can we get this over with?

"Listen Sydney, can we get this over so we can go search for the others?"

Sydney looked at him then stood up, she remembered what he said before! The spirits of the world tree have relaid him a message, they sighted people that he might know! They have told him, A violent monke in the human continent, A grim reaper vampire in the demon continent, a Voracious whale in the depth of the ocean, A lazy devil on the go!

"Let's go down!" Garnt jumped from the branch, the ground was more than 70 meters down, that was normal for him!

"Wait for me!" Sydney jumped behind him.

...

Under the world tree, the orcs army is steadily moving toward the elvish capital.

"March, this is our chance! Attack the elvish capital!" The orc general growled, leading hundreds of soldiers.

"You lack intelligence, the legend is true!"

The orc general turned to see who spoke, Standing in front of the army a single tall elf was looking at him. A slim build, long ears, and white eyes with silvery hair.

Garnt was there to stop them.

"Master, can we go?"

"My lord I can't wait longer!"

"Those insolent pigs, I shall roast them all!"

"Give your words!"

"Give your words!"

"Give your words!"

"Give your words!"

The voices boomed in Garnt's head.

"You dare stand in our way? We will rip you apart and feast on your blood!" The orc general screamed!

"Ahhh! I don't want to deal with this, just rip them apart!" Garnt said with a tired face. He then was encircled with multiple small light orbs.

[Spirit Magic: Spirit summoning] From each orb a fairy emerged, in an instant there were hundreds if not thousands flying around Garnt as if they were a flock of bats.

They said in unison.

"Master, Your orders!"

"Tear them apart, this was my order!" He said!

Tehe! A weird laugh came from the flock as if they awaited that order!

The fairies charged at the orcs, even though each one of them is no bigger than 20 cm, they ganged on the orcs ripping them apart like piranhas, a cloud of blood engulfed the battlefield.

Ingus! With the voice of a single fairy, multiple orcs have been turned to charcoal, The fire spirit unleashed her power. With that signal, all the other fairies unleashed their elemental magic turning the battlefield into jumbled chaos of the elements.

"Wohaa! This is a mess! I wonder if Sydney is doing ok, she isn't that good with direct fights!" Garnt said looking at the carnage.

He looked around and finally saw her coming toward him. He started laughing.

"Sydney, you're a savage!"

Orcs are bowing on the ground to make a walkway for Sydney, she is simply walking over them like they were a stone path!

"What do you mean? The ground is filled with blood and guts, am not stepping on that!" She replied.

"That doesn't justify humiliating them like this! You could have asked me to carry you!"

"How sweet of you!" She replied.

Garnt noticed that the orcs that Sydney stepped over are suiciding in the back, he looked disappointed.

"What did you do to them?!" He screamed.

Sydney explained to her what she did.

I changed their life purpose from massacring all the elves to be stepped on by me, when that wish is fulfilled they lose all reasons for life, fall into despair then choose to end their own life!

Yeah, she is a nymph after all! Garnt thought as he remembered Sydney's new race.

Nymphs are nature's embodiment of physical beauty, and they guard the sacred places of the wild. They are so unbearably lovely that even a glimpse of one can blind an onlooker. Most nymphs hate evil and any who would despoil the wilds for any reason. A nymph's demeanor is wild and mercurial. Like nature, she embodies both great beauty and fearsome danger. She can be kind and graceful to mortals who revere the wild places of the world but is also quick to strike against mortals who take more than they need or who treat nature thoughtlessly. Most nymphs are bound to a glade, or pool of some kind, however, there are a few that wander the wilds and the world unbound.

Sydney is the embodiment of Yggdrasil's physical beauty, and Garnt is the embodiment of the tree's undying will. She is bound like all other nymphs but not to just the tree, she is also bound to Garnt as he is the will of the tree. As a rule of thumb, she can only exist in Garnt's aura or under the world's tree!

Sydney might think the orcs are hot, but deep down she can feel her instinct screaming to squash them for tarnishing the sacred world tree. For her, they are like annoying mosquitoes that you just can't resist the urge to kill!

On the other hand, Garnt is a high elf. A being that not much is known about more than the fact that all the faires and spirits bow to him as their king. Titania the fairies queen came to greet him the day he was born from the tree and called him her master and owner which baffled the entire elvish kingdom. The elves only understood one thing, Titania only bows under the world tree, if she bowed to him then he is the embodiment of the tree itself!

"Master! Master! Can we join as well?" an armored fairy that was sitting inside garnt pocket said.

Garnt made a concerned look, he then carefully replied.

"Do you promise to stay quiet this time? Otherwise, Sydney will kill us!"

With a smug on her face, she replied, loud enough that Sydney could hear her.

"Forgot about the old hag, her opinion doesn't matter to us!"

Sydney is pissed, she walked directly to garnt and starred at the fairy with a dead look.

"Say it to my face bi*ch! Come on...!" Sydney's hair stood up, the orcs stood as if preparing to rage.

"Ara, me! Wanna go at it again? I'll slap da* a** again!" The fairy said as she flew from garnt's pocket.

"Queen Titania, The army has gathered under your command!" one of the fairies screamed.

Oh god, those are going at it again! The last time they both almost died, I better stop them from fighting! It can't be helped!

Garnt grabbed Sydney's face with his right hand and Titania's face with the other.

[Spirit Domination: Calm] Soothing mana flowed from his hands directly into their brains calming them instantly.

"Better?" Garnt asked them.

"Yeah, I calmed down!" Titania answered.

"I'm not a fan of having my mind played with but I guess it's alright this time, we might really kill each other this time!" Sydney replied.

Garnt felt as if he need to smooth things now.

"Listen, let go altogether, all out! This way no one will feel left out!" Garnt suggested.

Titania was visibly pleased as she turned behind and called the other fairies.

"You lot, We can all accumulate inside the king! this a cause for celebration!" The fairies cheered as they heard her gathering around garnt.

"Here we go! For the second time!" Sydney grabbed Garnt's right hand.

"Let gooooo!" Titania screamed as she hugged his left hand tightly

Silence fell for a second, Garnt's aura started to change.

Sydney and Titania turned into golden dust and got sucked into Garnt's body followed by all the fairies present.

Followed by a bright light a new being emerged. Six black eyes that are staring into the depth of darkness, his silvery hair standing as if he was possessed. Extremely pale skin, his finger has been replaced by long claws, twelve spectral fairy wings on his back, adorned by an emerald crown.

[Spirit Ascension: The crown]

Spirit King Zephyr, Garnt's true form that the elves call the Herald.

With a flick of his claws, about a square kilometer of ground has been turned upside down! The earth flew to the sky then fell back down!

"Say my name!" Garnt said with a menacing voice to the endless corps in front of him.

No one replied, they are all dead!
