ShangriLa Frontier ~ Shitty Games Hunter Challenges Godly Game ~

some semblance of ego and personality, Spirits can sometimes be a real pain in the ass to deal with, but sometimes they can be even more insignificant than insects such as cicadas or fireflies.
Not to mention their abilities to absorb magic from their surroundings and that the way they could wield them were more potent and dangerous than that of any human.

But in the end, Spirits are just that for the players: Spirits.
Unless they are an enemy mob or boss characters, or are involved with NPCs or in certain questlines, players could go on about their daily business without really caring about them all that much to begin with.
But if they appear during a Unique Scenario like this one? That’s a whole different story.

「So? What’s the deal with this Igezizdentsu here?」

「It’s Existence, thank you very little.
A very powerful Spirit, indeed…… But that’s only a given.
Did you know that all Spirits that fail to become strong will fade into oblivion as a result?」

「Which means?」

「It means what I just explained.
Ae you perhaps deaf?」

This is bad.
I knew I should have read the strategy guides and forums in greater detail before coming here.

「Even the Dwarves are aware of such basic knowledge.
Or should I call it common sense? And if you do not possess any power on your own, then there is no need for anyone else to provide you food or shelter.」

「And what happened to any sort of aid or help from those at power? Also, what does Existence even mean?」

「Umm, usually it’s the term given to beings that are alive! Sanraku, are you doing that on purpose? Or are you just a little bit slow on the uptake?」

「Well, it doesn’t really matter.
Let’s just continue.」

For a moment out there Alva looked as though he just witnessed the most unsightly of insects, but he did not try to argue.
It was simply because having me around was beneficial to him, as we all could see from our previous fights together.
That was more than enough to tolerate all of my deficits of common sense and knowledge.
But Alva proved to be a capable fighter before, especially during the Reaperorca battle.

「She happened to be that kind of Spirit as well.
She had an ego of her own, but she was unable to harness magic for herself from her surroundings, as a result of which she was on the brink of disappearing completely.」

Their story was really noisy and all over the place, but from what I could understand it is that this sword contained a Spirit that was at one point in time about to disappear because of its own inability to adapt and survive.

But after that, the Spirit decided to show me her ‘human’ form.
Everything about here was bluish in color: her eyes, her skin, her hair…… She was even wearing a robe that looked just like the surface of the water, bluish in color, but not transparent or see-through.
Normally it would be a really stimulating clothes, but the outline of her body clad in that water-dress seemed to blur at some point so you were unable to pick up any details…… No, it was not that.
It was more like her whole appearance was made out of water, rather than being of flesh and blood.  That would certainly explain why she would liquefy from time to time.

「Ahh, that is where I come in.
I couldn’t leave her like that to her own fate, so I managed to bring her to a dwarven blacksmith who enchanted her into my own weapon…… Of course, it was done with her consent and with her best interest in mind.
Or at least it was something like that?」
