Became The Son Of The Final Boss [EN]: Chapter 111

111.

From the superior elemental level, they could replenish their mana themselves if there was mana in my mana pool.

“It’s a skill called Scattering Water Droplets. It’s a skill that the water elemental can use.”

Ellaim said, absorbing my mana.

Ellaim waved her hand lightly.

It was a playful movement as if playing with water, but the mana consumption was no joke.

‘Is it because it’s not an attribute combination skill?’

I thought, watching the result of the skill Ellaim used.

-Skill is unlocked.

The system voice was also heard.

Dozens of water droplets formed around Ellaim. Each water droplet was large enough to hold a person, so it was embarrassing to call them droplets.

As if reading my thoughts, Ellaim smiled and said.

“It’s different from ordinary water droplets. The enemy trapped in those water droplets suffers the same pain as being drowned in water. Unless they are beings that live in the water, they cannot breathe or move.”

I immediately understood the meaning of Ellaim’s words and exclaimed.

“It’s a kind of binding technique!”

“It’s not just binding. If you can’t escape from the water droplets, you’ll drown.”

Moreover, it wasn’t just one water droplet, but dozens of water droplets, so it wasn’t unreasonable to call it a range attack skill.

Also, as I felt at first, there was a kind of binding effect.

If a knight could hold their breath for a long time, they wouldn’t die quickly even if they were trapped in a water droplet.

“Depending on how the master uses it, the pressure inside the water droplets can become stronger.”

“Pressure?”

Ellaim kindly explained.

“It means that it is possible not only to drown but also to make the body explode from the pressure inside the water droplet.”

I immediately checked the system window.

-A Scattering Water Droplets

Ellaim unlocked the A-grade skill for me.

Unlike the skills I unlocked, information about the skill did not immediately enter my head as soon as it was unlocked.

Still, I understood it easily because Ellaim explained it easily.

“It’s a really good skill! How about mana circulation?”

Ellaim came closer and touched my body.

Ellaim drew mana from my mana pool and circulated it along the path.

The structure for implementing the skill was complex.

First, mana is drawn from the mana pool, flowed along a set path, and then supplied to the elemental.

The elemental implements the skill externally the moment it receives the mana.

It seemed like a useless process, but it wasn’t at all.

“When using the water elemental’s skill, you should feel the mana’s feeling of warmth, coziness, and sometimes the power like a wave.”

There was an answer in Ellaim’s words.

Mana had various properties, and its properties changed depending on which path it circulated through in my body.

Originally, the feeling of mana in my mana pool was like ‘wind.’ I couldn’t think of any other expression.

Isn’t the reason why I have the highest affinity with the wind elemental because the basic property of mana in my mana pool is wind?

“When using Scattering Water Droplets, it is especially important to circulate mana quickly, like the feeling of a strong current, that is, when the water is strong.”

Ellaim led the mana very slowly.

As if the circulation was over, Ellaim asked softly.

“Did you remember?”

“Yes. It’s not difficult.”

Certainly, learning elemental skills from an elemental was different from unlocking them in the system window.

I had to remember the path through which mana flowed and feel how the properties of mana circulating along the path changed.

“Would you like to try it once?”

I nodded.

Whew, after taking a breath, I drew mana from the mana pool.

‘Powerfully like a wave.’

Mana gained more and more power as it flowed along the path.

Soon Ellaim waved her hand.

There were dozens of droplets a moment ago, but now hundreds of droplets were spreading in all directions.

Papat-! Pat-!

Ellaim clapped.

“You did very well. You really have great talent.”

Silphend also agreed.

“Most spiritists can’t even follow along even if you teach them spiritism, but the master is different.”

Climb also popped out of the pile of dirt and added a word.

“I heard the story, but I’m amazed when I actually see the master’s talent.”

And Ignis was special as always.

“You’re bragging about learning just one trick. Should I teach you one too? No. You won’t be able to understand it with your head. I’ll teach you when you reach a higher level.”

I glared at Ignis and turned my gaze to Ellaim.

A proud smile was naturally drawn.

“Thank you so much, Ellaim.”

“No. And don’t take Ignis’s words to heart. That child is a famous friend for being mischievous even in the spirit world, and the master of the covenant is the first contractor, so he doesn’t know any skills.”

Ignis shouted.

“Hey!”

Ellaim casually ignored Ignis.

She looked kind, but Ellaim’s personality was not easy either.

“Originally, spirits only exist and do not learn any skills. Scattering Water Droplets was also a skill used by the previous contractor, and it looked the best, so I recommended it to the master.”

It was an interesting story.

I sent all the spirits except Ellaim back for now.

It was to practice the skill.

I learned well from Ellaim, but it was definitely different from the skills I unlocked.

Unlike other skills that I could use proficiently right away, Scattering Water Droplets was still awkward.

Five Undines, two Undairons, and Ellaim.

I started practicing Scattering Water Droplets with all the water spirits.

Ellaim also stopped talking and helped me practice my skills.

In the middle, Undine giggled and joined in.

All of them were advice that became bones and flesh, so I listened carefully to Undine’s words without ignoring her because she was a lower spirit.

Kwaaaang-!

A rough explosion was heard from the tree hit by Scattering Water Droplets.

Undine giggled again as she looked at my blank expression.

She was the most talkative of the five Undines, and she was the main character of nagging.

-Scattering Water Droplets can only damage the target when it is trapped in the water! The water droplets themselves also have power!

It was a strange way of speaking, but I nodded.

“So, for example, even if guys with very high defense are hit by water droplets, they won’t break like trees, but they can be trapped in water droplets, and enemies with weak defense can be knocked down just by being hit by water droplets?”

Ellaim nodded.

“You understood correctly. If Scattering Water Droplets itself does not penetrate the enemy’s defense when it hits the enemy, it has the property of embracing the enemy, so you don’t need to control each one.”

I got a really great skill.

I smiled and asked.

“Then, the technique that harmonizes with the wind spirit…….”

“I’ll let you know when you master Scattering Water Droplets perfectly.”

Ellaim smiled benevolently, but drew a line very thoroughly.

I smiled awkwardly.

“Y-yes. But how perfect is that…….”

“That’s for me to judge slowly. Master, just practice hard.”

Are all the spirits I contract with unique, or are all spirits originally like that?

‘Well, spirits are no different from people, so they each have their own personalities. But the personalities of the spirits I contracted with seem particularly strange.’

Silphend, the wind spirits, Climb, and the earth spirits were all the spirits I had imagined.

The water spirits and fire spirits seemed particularly unique, but I didn’t show it.

“I can hear everything you’re thinking. Did you forget about the consciousness sharing? You’ll be able to adjust that gradually too.”

It seemed like I had fallen for Ellaim.

‘Warmth like a mother and nagging like a mother…….’

“Now, practice!”

At Ellaim’s voice, I hurriedly stopped thinking.

* * *

“Zephyr, let’s go a little slower.”

Zephyr slowed down at my words.

I took a few deep breaths on Zephyr.

‘It was really hard.’

Ellaim really pushed me relentlessly.

She made me use Scattering Water Droplets until the mana in my mana pool ran out.

Thanks to that, I was able to raise the level of Scattering Water Droplets from 1 to 5.

It was the first time I had raised my level to 5 in half a day with only training without a single battle.

As much as that, I was exhausted both mentally and physically.

“Training is not easy.”

I was returning, relying only on Zephyr’s movements, without summoning the spirits I used to summon habitually.

Doo doo doo doo-!

The sound of horses running was heard in the distance.

The figures of the horses were soon visible, and the people riding on them were also clearly visible.

Doo doo doo doo-!

The horses soon stopped next to me.

Zephyr also stopped walking.

“Your Highness!”

It was Gail.

I asked, widening my eyes.

“What’s going on?”

Baron Hamilton answered when I asked.

“Your Highness suddenly disappeared, so we’ve been looking for you all day.”

Only then did I realize that I had left the camp without any explanation to the soldier guarding it.

“Ah, sorry! I was just doing some training.”

“Where did you train that you left the camp?”

At Gail’s question, I pointed to the mountain.

“In that mountain over there. I didn’t realize how time was passing while learning spiritism.”

I felt sorry for the people.

I briefly forgot that my status was the Crown Prince.

Since I had disappeared, it was natural that the lords, Gail, David, and Leoden would be in an uproar.

I apologized to Gail and the lords.

“I’m sorry. I forgot to tell you before I left.”

Marquis Mike smiled and replied.

“No, Your Highness. I’m glad you’re safe.”

I gave Zephyr a signal to go and apologized once again.

“I’ll be careful next time. I went to the valley to contract with a new spirit.”

The others also started their horses.

Marquis Mike drove his horse side by side next to Zephyr and said.

“The fact that you contracted a new spirit in the valley means that you contracted with a high-level water spirit?”

I was surprised by Marquis Mike’s insight in deducing it in an instant and nodded.

“That’s right. Now I will contract with high-level spirits of all attributes.”

“Then Your Highness is the highest-level spiritist…….”

I cut off Marquis Mike’s words.

“Not yet.”

The highest-level spiritist known to the continent was only my father.

It was known that the highest level of human beings was Sword Master if you learned swordsmanship, 8th Circle if you learned magic, and Highest-level Spiritist if you learned spiritism.

Since the fields were all different, it was impossible to say exactly which was stronger among swordsmanship, spiritism, and magic.

In any case, being the highest-level spiritist at my age was an amazing feat that could not be found in the history of the current empire or even the continent.

Marquis Mike said as if he had a thought that there was no way even in my denial.

“Isn’t the fact that you have contracted with high-level spirits of all attributes an amazing feat in itself? You can contract with the highest-level spirit, but you’re not doing it?”

“My father, as well as my mother, were excellent spiritists. I was born as their child, so my spirit affinity is very high.”

Looking at Marquis Mike’s expression that he still couldn’t understand, and the expressions of the others except Gail, I continued.

“My affinity with spirits of all attributes is high, so even if my level is not high, there is not much difficulty in contracting with spirits themselves. I am not the highest-level spiritist. I can now be said to be a master of high-level spiritists.”

Marquis Mike clicked his tongue.

“You will be having your coming-of-age ceremony soon. Being a master of high-level spiritists at that age is also a level that no one has ever achieved.”

The other lords also added a word each. I felt embarrassed as my face was being gilded and returned to the castle.

The castle was definitely quieter than before.

The lords whose territories were far away had already returned with their soldiers, and the remaining lords were also preparing to return.

I entrusted Zephyr to the soldier and said to the lords.

“I’m thinking of going hunting tomorrow. There’s no point in dragging out the time.”

Now that I had finished the contract with Ellaim, I had nothing to fear.

I immediately turned my gaze to Baron Hamilton.

“Baron Hamilton, I would like you to look into the Wyvern nest, the ruler of the ruins.”
