ORUS

"... Elemental spirit, like Franky's?" Adriel mused, unsure if it was the same or something else entirely.

Franky always boasted of having signed a contract with a fire elemental spirit, emphasizing how amazing and strong he is.

Personally, Adriel does not know how strong he is, but it is indisputable that his power increases considerably when he works with his contracted spirit.

Also, Isabela also said something about having spirits ... but she said it right after one of her passion rituals, so her mind was elsewhere.

Thinking about this, Adriel smiled, sat down, and began to meditate.

Instead of drawing the essence from around him into his body as he normally did, this time he pulled elemental particles of fire from his elemental core and integrated them into his body, causing his body temperature to it will suddenly rise several tens of degrees!

This is not necessary, but Adriel did it anyway, to increase his chances of attracting a spirit, any preparation is little, after all.

Once this was done, Adriel activated the [Spirit Attraction] skill, infusing large amounts of essence into the skill as his influence gradually began to spread.

The effect of the ability traveled a considerable distance, alerting a group of unique beings that most people were unaware of ...

Adriel continued to keep the skill active as the great time they would appear approached ...

Finally, it happened ...

Small groups of flames of all shapes and colors appeared in the room, floating around Adriel, rubbing against his body, orbiting around him, or just standing there static, like a group of curious children seeing something new, and they can't help but touch it.

But strangely, these flames were temperatureless, as if they were not physical, as if they were simply a group of disembodied spirit energy.

Adriel looked at all these spirits as they used their mind to spread their thoughts through space, so that the little spirits could understand it.

"Who of you wants to sign a contract with me, little ones?"Adriel asked in the calmest, most gentle voice he could muster as thoughts of him swept around him.

"..."

After a moment of stillness, many spirits left, while approximately 30% of the spirits remained levitated around them, making their intentions clear.

Adriel carefully observed the surrounding spirits, it would be a lie to say that he was not fascinated by the great variety that he had in front of him.

Although spirits are divided into elements, each element has infinite variability, so each spirit is naturally very different from any other.

Like normal living things, each spirit is unique and has something that makes it unique, shining with its own charm and defining characteristics that set them apart from others and make them unique.

Adriel could see many different spirits at this time, one made up of ghostly blue flames, one with diabolical black flames, one with orange-yellow flames that resemble the sun ... they really are unique, each having their own distinctive unique strengths and powers.

What Adriel must do now is chosen the most suitable spirit for him.

Adriel kept examining the spirits as the elementals in question simply hovered around the place in a way that looked like they were ... playing with other spirits while ignoring the being they're here for in the first place.

Finally, Adriel's eyes stopped on one particular spirit.

This spirit stood out especially, it was a dark gold color fireball that seemed to instill respect in the other spirits as many floated around it.

"Do you want to form a contract with me, little friend?" Adriel asked with a smile.

The spirit in question stopped doing what he was doing while he was heading towards Adriel, the other spirits stopped moving as they witnessed the scene.

The dark golden spirit inched forward until it stopped a meter from Adriel, after a slight shake that Adriel could only identify as a nod, active [Spiritual Contract].

"BOOM!"

The moment the ability activated, the surrounding essence shook as the first step of the holy contract began!

The relationship between a contractor and a spirit is one of the deepest and most vital that exists, it is so important even if you have the highest possible talent, you will not be able to make even a little progress in this field if you do not develop a great relationship with your spirit.

The relationship between a contractor and a spirit is one of total trust, you know everything about your spirit and your spirit knows everything about you, a simple and pure relationship like no other, difficult to experience outside this realm!

To comment on this sacred relationship, the contract is divided into three phases.

Phase 1, Mind Fusion!

"BOOM!"

The minds of both beings were connected, while both could see the character and personality of the other.

Adriel could see through the young mind of the spirit as he could see his character and all that made up his being, as the spirit also looked into the depths of his being!

Strong, protective, charismatic, ambitious, good-natured, they were all prominent parts of the spirit personality!

Adriel couldn't help but smile, he finally understood why he was attracted to this particular spirit!

You and I are the same!

"BOOM!"

It seemed like the spirit agreed as the contract continued!

Phase two, life crossed!

"BOOM!"

Adriel's mind suddenly went blank.

He could not feel anything, absolutely nothing, his body, his soul, the world around him, it was as if he simply did not exist, even the thoughts of him faded until they ended in nothing.

Thus, without further ado, it did not exist.

After an unknown time, a consciousness arose in him, but this was not Adriel's consciousness, it was a pure and new consciousness, full of curiosity and naivety, deposited in a small ball of spiritual fire.

The little fireball knew nothing, absolutely nothing, and he did not like that, so he made the first decision of his life.

I want to know!

He moved

The place where he was born was an infinitely large area totally filled with flames similar to those that made up his body, from time to time he would meet others similar to him, although the few times they almost always attacked him for some reason ...

But they were weaker than me, and they couldn't do anything to me, they became obedient when I showed my flames a little.

Over time, he gathered a group of brothers to play, but this was not enough, he wanted more, he wanted more brothers.

While I was thinking about that, the fireball suddenly found itself in a strange space, very different from the comfort of his house, instead, this place felt uncomfortable, as if it were not my place ...

Adriel suddenly woke up, her head spinning as he grabbed his chest and breathed heavily, having your consciousness temporarily erased is anything but pleasant.

Phase 3, completion!

Suddenly, a dark golden mark formed on Adriel's arm, it was a flame-shaped mark that measured approximately 6 centimeters.

At the same time, a word appeared in Adriel's mind, a single word, he immediately understood the meaning.

He looked at the spirit in front of him as he laughed out loud.

"WELCOME, ORUS!"
