The Extra Prince Sets Out To Conquer The World

When I was drawing the magic circle to summon the fire spirit, Lisbeth drew additional magic circles around to concentrate the fire energy more to help with the spirit summoning.

“When summoning spirits, the Lithograph created by that skinny Ebilibisk is the best, but it’s a pity. Well, it’s still a good environment for summoning a fire spirit even without the stone tablet.”

“Did you also use Ebilibisk’s Lithograph to summon spirits?”

At my question, she nodded.

“Not all the spirits I contracted with, about half? If the environment supports it, you can contract with more spirits than your innate limit because the optimal environment reduces the burden.”

Lisbeth said a person’s body is a kind of vessel.

Just as there is a limit to what a vessel can hold, each person has an innate limit to how many spirits they can contract with.

“Come to think of it, how many spirits have you contracted with?”

At her question, I revealed the forms of my spirits.

“Wind, lightning, water, light, these four.”

Seeing the spirits, Lisbeth was shocked.

“They’re all spirit lords?! Are you okay? Do you feel like your body is going to break or feel bloated?”

“No, I’m fine.”

At my answer, she exclaimed in admiration.

“My goodness, you’re fine even after contracting with four lords? Navi inherited what I left in this world, so that’s understandable, but did you summon the other three directly?”

“I summoned them.”

“How many more do you think you can contract with?”

At Lisbeth’s question, I pondered for a moment.

“I don’t know? I’m not sure, but I don’t think I won’t be able to contract more just because I’m contracting a new one this time.”

“Then you’re saying your spirit magic talent is above mine?! Amazing! I heard I was also one of the best among all spirit mages in history. You’re a genius among geniuses! Even I had a limit of contracting with four spirit lords!”

At her flustered words, my vision slightly blurred.

“Huh? What’s wrong?”

“No, it’s just the first time I’ve heard I have talent.”

Since entering this ruined body, I’ve heard many times that I have no talent, but it’s the first time I’ve been called a genius.

Horazon, Divet, Geor, Demiway, they all unanimously declared that my talent was dead, but only Lisbeth is different.

Of course, even so, this beer-soaked body is not just holding me back but dragging me in the opposite direction.

“Really? Well, since it’s hard to meet spirit mages, I guess that can happen. Then should we be a bit more greedy?”

Lisbeth drew additional magic circles.

“When summoning spirits, the summoner is the most important, but depending on the flow of energy, you can connect to a specific area in the spirit world. The place I connected to is a spirit that dominates quite a wide area even among the lords called natural disasters.”

Indeed, it’s like a local phone number, so to speak?

Following the magic circle she drew, a tremendous amount of fire mana slowly began to gather.

“If there was no time constraint, I’d like to teach you even these trivial things, but after contracting, if I teach you one or two of my secrets, the time limit will probably end.”

The Rite of Fire, which transcended time and space, was a space where the mythology of dwarves resided, but it wasn’t a place that could be used infinitely.

I held the spirit stone and chanted the summoning spell.

“O fluctuating rise within the scattering flames! O beautiful flames that scatter while purifying all things! At times watching over life like a guardian, at times spreading like a wildfire, descend upon this place! O mighty lord of the sun!”

Simultaneously with my spell, the summoning magic circle shone, and a strong heat surged, and a huge pillar of flames rose.

The flames that instantly spread as if to burn everything instantly felt warm rather than hot for some reason.

The huge pillar of flames that burned for quite a long time gathered into a single point and became a small fireball.

From within it, a small and cute white snake with red eyes emerged.

The fire spirit seemed to like the current environment and shook its body.

Then, spewing out a white fiery breath, it stared at me, the summoner.

“With me…”

Before I could finish saying to make a contract, the fire spirit seemed to like me and connected its senses with mine.

As the eagerly wagging tail showed, the fire spirit seemed to be in a good mood.

I tried handing over the prepared spirit stone, but the fire spirit didn’t seem interested.

“When contracting, the spirit stone is needed when the summoning environment is insufficient or when it’s needed to fix the body when manifesting in the current world. When the environment is perfect like now, the spirit stone isn’t necessarily needed. Of course, there are other times when it’s needed, but wasn’t that content in the book I left?”

“It wasn’t there.”

At my answer, Lisbeth nodded.

“Well, the utilization of spirit stones is ambiguous to write in the first volume, so I must have put it in the next volume.”

To finish the contract, I gave the fire spirit a name.

“Your name is Biam.”

Biam literally meant snake.

As expected, intuitive names are the best. Biam flicked its tongue in approval of my naming, and Lisbeth held back her laughter and burst out.

“Puhahaha! The name is intuitive and good! How is it? Do you still not feel uncomfortable?”

“No, I don’t.”

At my answer, Lisbeth clapped her hands and rejoiced.

“Very good! You might be able to contract with all seven spirit lords?”

The types of summoned spirits were light, darkness, water, fire, wind, lightning, and earth, a total of seven.

Of course, that didn’t mean there were no other spirits.

For example, there were dryads and ents, who were tree spirits and a race of fairies.

And there was Al Degflet, who was one of the top ten swordsmen in the distant past but is now a sword spirit guarding the land of the undead.

In such cases, they were exceptional and unique, making it nearly impossible to contract with them.

“It will probably be difficult for all of them to be lord-level.”

The hierarchy of spirits is divided into a total of six levels.

From the bottom up, it was safe, cautious, warning, dangerous, pre-disaster, and natural disaster.

Spirits of the natural disaster level were lords who reigned over a region of the spirit world and dominated lower-level spirits.

This small spirit coiled around my arm and tapping my arm with its tail as if feeling good is such a great spirit?

By the way, according to Lisbeth, she had contracted with four disaster-level spirits and three pre-disaster level spirits during her lifetime.

In the case of Spirit Duke Jesrod, who appeared in the novel, he contracted with two each of disaster-level and pre-disaster level spirits, and in the case of Spirit Marquis Abilon, she contracted with one disaster-level and two pre-disaster level spirits.

I don’t know about Spirit King Gavillet since he was just an extra who didn’t even appear in the novel.

Considering that, I could indirectly know how strong Lisbeth’s power was during her lifetime.

“We’ve used a lot of the Rite of Fire’s power to summon the spirit, so there’s not much time left. I’d like to pass on all my secrets to you if I could, but it’ll be tight even to master one, so let’s start right away.”

As Lisbeth snapped her fingers with a mischievous smile like a naughty child, the surrounding scenery changed from a summer flower garden to a lava zone.

In the intense heat that was hard to breathe, I instinctively infused mana into Biam to protect my body.

“Hehehe, don’t let your guard down. The moment you let your guard down, you’ll be on the verge of death.”

As soon as Lisbeth’s words ended, the ground shook and the lava began to surge like waves.

Damn it, is this the Spartan way!

“Biam! Navi!”

I split the lava wave trying to engulf my body and deflected the surging heat.

Seeing me use spirits, Lisbeth let out a small sigh.

“You really haven’t learned spirit magic from anyone? To think you’re using such primitive spirit magic.”

At her harsh evaluation, I momentarily felt indignant.

“What’s primitive about it!”

I infused mana into the spirits along with images.

When infusing mana, I processed the mana as if using magic.

It was my way of increasing efficiency.

“From beginning to end! Why are you imitating magic when handling spirits!?”

“No, then how am I supposed to handle spirits!”

I barely maintained my balance and suppressed the surging lava waves.

At my protest, Lisbeth shouted angrily.

“Among my secrets, there is spirit magic, but it’s literally a fusion of spirit arts and magic. It doesn’t use the power of spirits like magic as you do!”

As I was flustered, Lisbeth sighed and shook her head.

“The funny thing is, normally, handling spirits like that should result in terrible efficiency, but yours is extremely refined. This is the first time I’ve seen such refined primitive spirit magic in my life. Even the fairy queen wouldn’t be able to do such refined primitive spirit magic.”

I don’t know if it’s an insult or a compliment.

I asked while blocking the gradually intensifying lava waves.

“Then how should I handle spirits?”

At my question, Lisbeth calmly explained.

“Nature circulates as a law. If you unilaterally emit mana like you do, not only will you not be able to use the spirit’s power for long, but there will also be limits to its power.”

Circulation? Does she mean I shouldn’t just unilaterally infuse mana into the spirits?

But my mana was being processed through the spirits and consumed?

“Spirits are the symbols and condensations of nature.”

“Condensation…? Ah!”

I condensed the surrounding mana through Biam.

Then, the heat around me was absorbed into Biam, making it comfortable.

At the same time, the mana flowing from me to Biam was drastically reduced.

“That’s right. You’ve finally escaped the primitive stage! A spirit mage should know how to utilize the surrounding environment! Even pure-blooded elves take several months to condense nature’s mana into spirits, but as expected of a genius!”

Unlike the rejoicing Lisbeth, I had no time to be happy.

“Ahhhhh!!”

The lava waves turned into small tsunamis, rapidly engulfing the ground I could stand on.

I created a water board with Ram’s power and rode on top of the tsunami.

It was worrying that I might fall into the lava if my balance was slightly off, but I maintained my balance with Navi’s power supporting my back.

Still, perhaps because of the high density of lava, it was better than riding a surfing board.

“Alright, let’s move on to the next stage. Next is to return the nature’s mana condensed into the spirits back to yourself!”

“What?! How do I do that!”

“You can do it!”

“No! Explain it properly!”

Another lava tsunami surged over the lava tsunami.

“Ahhhhh!!”

As I desperately moved the surfing board and deflected the lava droplets splashing onto me with a wind barrier, Lisbeth applauded.

“Good! That’s how you do it! You know well even without explanation! As expected, a genius learns well when thrown into danger.”

“Ahhh! What are you saying, you crazy! Ahhh! Save me!”

This time, the lava lumped together and transformed into a slime human.

The problem was that the lava slime human started charging at me.

“Alright! Now that you’ve escaped primitive spirit magic, the basics are over. Let’s start the secret lesson right away!”

“You crazy bitch! You should explain what secret you’re going to teach first before starting!”

Despite my shouts, Lisbeth put on sparkling star-shaped sunglasses and started dancing excitedly.

“Yay~!”

“Yay my ass! Ahhh! The volcano is erupting!!”

Kwa-kwa-kwang-! Shoo-!

Lisbeth taught me spirit magic, and while receiving her teachings, I had no choice but to instinctively realize one fact.

I had been fundamentally handling spirits wrong until now.

No, but there’s no need to make me do such crazy things!

Save me, Precia! Jade!
