The Tutorial Is Too Hard Chapter 208.2

Spirit Affinity and Spirit Summoning.

I have pondered many times about making full use of those skills.

But I never committed to them because I fear I would lose myself if I constantly relied on the others such as a spirit’s.

As I gain more clarity for spirit power, I become more reluctant to use it .

I was disgusted with the idea or borrowing power from others. Therefore, I focused on my own growth.

Faced with Spirit King, I deceived it by saying I wished to put my effort into growing my physical prowess.

[Is that so? I understand. So is that the same reason that only one soul is loaded inside that sword?]

Spirit King pointed to the Soul Sword clipped to my waist as it said that.

Hm?

[The number of souls that sword can load are no less than tens of thousands. Didn’t you know that?]

No I didn’t, not at all.

I didn’t hear such an explanation when buying the sword.

Both the item window’s description and Kiri Kiri did not tell me that.

I pondered over the Spirit King’s questions.

Once I clear this confusion, I must punish Kiri Kiri by pinching her cheeks.

According to the Spirit King, if I loaded tens of thousands of souls into the sword, I would see the corresponding effect.

The Soul Sword will grow stronger as the number of souls it carries increases.

Not only will it become more durable and sharper, but it will also emit a bizarre ghostly air, which will cause mental damage against living beings.

It can also ward off and damage ghost-like enemies.

Seregia’s soul alone has already awakened this effect. I’m not sure what effect it would have if tens of thousands of souls were loaded into it.

Of course, however, as long as Seregia does not agree with that, I don’t intend to force several souls into it.

There’s already a solitary tenant. I can’t force a cohabitant into it.

Even if I don’t load more souls in, it’s good enough.

I decided to discuss it with Seregia later.

[In the future, if you have time, have a talk with the little Wind Spirit.]

“I see.”

I answered tamely.

Because in front of Spirit King, it’s impossible to say that I won’t get in touch with the spirit in the future.

It felt like confronting my father-in-law and claiming that I wouldn’t take care of his daughter.

[Help G.o.d’s apostle to destroy the origin monster.]

The information appeared in front of me.

It just repeats what I’ve seen before.

This has never happened before.

[Anyway, I think G.o.d can’t stand your conversation with me.]

“Is that so?”

[Yes. More than half of the G.o.ds think so. Let’s go now. We can walk and talk.]

With that, Spirit King turned to face the lake.

He went ahead.

With its faint legs.

“What are you doing, Mister?”

[What else can I do? Of course go in the direction of origin monster.]

With a pace similar to that of a toddler.

Considering the power of the Spirit King, the distance from here to the lake should be the same as nothing.

Yet, he walked so slowly, but nonetheless moved according to the message. Moreover, he seemed to be purposely showing his procrastination.

I walked along with Spirit King’s slow pace.

“Can we do it like this?”

[Of course. This is not the first time they did this. Don’t worry. The G.o.d of Nature also ordered me to talk to you as much as possible before summoning me, so it’s okay.]

The G.o.d of Nature.

It shouldn’t be such a kind G.o.d.

On the contrary, it should be a G.o.d who disliked me.

Because I have been burning, smas.h.i.+ng and polluting everything around me for a long time, I could not help it though.

I speculated that the Spirit King, sent by the G.o.d of Nature, would distaste me, but he turned out to be more cordial than I thought.

[Don’t you have anything to ask me? There should be a lot. I can’t answer all your questions, but I can tell you quite a lot. Take this opportunity to ask what you want to know.]

That is what he said.

There was no reason to refuse the opportunity, so I asked.

“What is the purpose of the tutorial?”

[The first is to provide challengers with the power to eliminate the origin and the second is to select the new apostle. That’s all I can tell you. I can’t tell you the third reason because you’ll be able to guess it by the end of this stage.]

The apostle told me exactly what I wanted.

I stuffed this answer into my head and asked the second question.

“Is that the origin monster that has appeared on Earth?”

[That’s right.]

“Why do G.o.ds and their apostles not kill those monsters directly?”

This is my biggest question.

These G.o.ds created the tutorial, summoned people into a new world, let them grow, but why did they not interfere directly with the earth?

From the perspective of the tutorial’s design, these G.o.ds should have a profound understanding of the earth’s culture and customs.

Given the ability, the spare power, and the intelligence of the Earth, I wonder why they chose to summon challengers and force them to grow.

[I really can’t answer this question. To sum it up, it’s because if one G.o.d comes out, other G.o.ds may feel unhappy.]

This is not a clear answer.

It’s an answer that requires careful consideration.

I need to ask Kiri Kiri once more.

Although she hadn’t answered me before, now that I’ve gotten a little information about it, she may give a different answer.

“Next question. What does G.o.d’s apostle need to do?”

[The third reason reason for the tutorial is what the apostle needs to accomplish.]

This reply gives me a lot of inspiration.

What the apostle needs to do is established the tutorial’s third purpose.

And the second goal is to select the apostle.

That is to say, G.o.ds use the tutorial to select an apostle, not simply to enhance combat effectiveness or for enjoyment, but to clearly indicate a task.

The apostle seems to have more meaning in the tutorial than expected.

“So what is an origin monster?”

[It will be easier to understand that reason when you eradicate the origin. It’s near the lake. Ask the last question.]

There is a sound of water coming.

The giant monster swimming in the water tosses in the water and the lake rises waves and sounds.

“Is that all you have?”

[Do you mean my power?]

“Yes.”

[Why on earth did you ask me this?]

“Please answer me.”

My mind is a mess.

The unexpected happens one after another and more alarming information is pouring in.

I’m busy enough just remembering, sorting out, and a.n.a.lyzing the information.

But even so, I couldn’t easily concentrate on all this information.

Since Spirit King was summoned, my mind has been preoccupied by one thought.

Can I kill this Spirit King?

I think I can.
