Chapter 96: Incomparably Pure Wind Elemental Power

In the vast expanse of white, Samuel accurately saw an empty, sunken trial field built with huge stone bricks.

It was the same style as the trial field in the game that he remembered, but the difference was that it was now covered with a thick layer of snow and was more empty.

He landed at the edge of the field, leaving footprints, and walked towards the center of the trial field.

As he went deeper, a vast force suddenly burst out from the giant wolf-shaped stone painting carved in the depths!

The cold wind was like a surging tide, rushing out unrestrainedly from the giant wolf-shaped piece!

The vision began to become hazy, and low-temperature fog covered the entire trial field.

Samuel saw a faint blue light flash in the area representing the pupils on the stone painting, and then he heard the unique panting sound of a wolf.

The majestic divine voice seemed to come from all directions of the trial field, reaching deep into Samuel’s mind.

He asked doubtfully:

"Barbatos?"

Then the mighty voice paused for a moment and continued:

“…No, you are not He.”

Samuel felt a pain in his brain and reached out to hold his forehead.

The next second, in the midst of pain, he saw a pair of deep blue eyes emerge from the mist not far away, emitting a faint light that revealed elemental power.

He walked out slowly, stepping on the wind and snow, his proud figure reflected in Samuel's eyes.

It was a powerful and mysterious giant wolf with blue and white colors, exuding a strong sense of majesty. The messy long beard extending from his eyebrows and the three ice-blue magatama on his chest added to his divinity.

The icy spikes at the end of his tail were extremely aggressive, as if they could easily kill the enemy in battle.

Samuel's mind was filled with His title.

The Wolf King of the North Wind, Boreas, whose demon name is "Andrius".

He heard Boreas's low voice, like the hoarse howl of a wolf.

He sniffed and asked:

"The breath of wolves...Have you helped them?"

He slowly walked to Samuel's side, with the huge wolf head close to his face.

Samuel nodded slowly to Him, looked straight into His awe-inspiring eyes, and introduced himself:

"'North Wind', I am Saint Samuel, the new retainer of Lord Barbatos.

"The purpose of my visit this time is to ask you to help Mond to eliminate the foreign wolf pack."

Boreas raised his eyebrows in interest when he heard him use the word "extermination" instead of "expel".

"'New follower'?" He looked at Samuel with his huge dark blue eyes and sneered, "The trouble-making bard has taken in another follower?"

Before Samuel could answer, He continued:

"I haven't even settled accounts with him for the trouble he caused, but you brought it to me yourself.

"My anger has not yet subsided."

Samuel looked calm, looked directly at Him and asked:

"What do you want to do?"

Then, he saw Boreas' eyes, which were shining with a faint blue light, flash for a moment, and without any warning, he raised his front paws and slammed the ground violently!

A whistling wind arose in response!

Samuel reacted and quickly took a step back to avoid the attack, then felt his hair and clothes fluttering, and looked into His eyes as the snow fell.

Boreas slowly uttered a word:

"'Trial'."

Samuel understood.

It means wanting to have a fight.

It just so happened that he was also very angry and wanted to vent.

For example, the beast hound we just met on the road is a good target for venting our sexual desire.

Although there was an obvious disparity in strength between him and the North Wind Wolf King, he wanted to have a fight to vent his anger, regardless of whether he won or lost.

I guess the same is true for Boreas.

Thinking of this, Samuel distanced himself from Him and then took action first.

Boreas is a remnant soul, and his current body is temporarily condensed by elemental power. Conventional wind elemental attacks have little effect on him.

Based on the knowledge of controlling the element of wind in his mind, he activated an eye of wind in Boreas' body, destroying His temporarily condensed body.

The North Wind Wolf King was stunned, and there was a hint of curiosity in his eyes when he looked at Samuel.

The control over the element of wind has reached this level... ?

But the elemental power contained in the body does not seem to be sufficient...

Boreas gasped, and the eye of the wind in his body dissipated. Then he spun his body, and his tail with ferocious ice spikes stabbed towards Samuel with a whistling wind!

The white-haired boy wearing the crown had a flash of white in his azure eyes. His speed increased visibly as he dodged.

Boreas saw the vertical pupil in his eyes.

That symbolizes the dragon clan, and judging from the vertical pupils, it seems that the bloodline is not low.

Barbatos has taken in another wind dragon as his follower...?

So He became more interested and fought Samuel more fiercely.

……

——Samuel looked up at the sun in the sky that was dim because it was covered by fog, then looked at the North Wind Wolf King in front of him, breathing slightly.

The wolf king in front of him seemed to have just started to get interested, but most of his wind elemental power had been consumed.

Because Boreas' current body is condensed by elemental power, ordinary wind element attacks have no effect at all, so he can only try more sophisticated elemental manipulation.

Such elemental attacks consume much more elemental power than normal use.

This is not a solution. Sooner or later, he will exhaust his elemental power again.

Strength…Samuel panted slightly, feeling the importance of strength once again.

Boreas, who was watching his opponent's slightly rapid breathing, narrowed his eyes.

At first, He mistook the other person for Barbatos because he had the same aura as the bard.

Later he discovered that the other person's pupils had vertical pupils, symbolizing the dragon bloodline.

The physical strength of an elemental dragon is far more than that. Through his vertical pupils, he can also judge that the white-haired boy wearing a crown in front of him has a high bloodline.

The elemental force controlled by the dragon is rich, magnificent, and solemn, and is more powerful than ordinary elemental force.

But in the battle just now, the wind element that Boreas felt not only did not have the above characteristics, but also did not contain anything special.

This means that he manipulates pure wind elemental force, without any other characteristics. If you have to say it, it is only "pure".

But as long as it is an elemental force that can be controlled, how can it not have its own characteristics?

The higher the degree of control over the elemental force, the more the elemental force you manipulate will demonstrate certain characteristics of your own.

For example, the wind element of Barbatos carries a sacred and noble aura and white falling feathers, while the elemental force controlled by Boreas also carries his own characteristics, such as the howling wolf cry.

Even for the user of the Eye of God, the elemental forces they manipulate contain "wishes".

Besides... as an elemental dragon, he is too weak... Boreas shook his head slowly.

Samuel couldn't hear what Boreas was thinking. He only knew that the Wolf Lord looked at him for a long time and then shook his head slightly.

Then he heard Him say in a low voice, puzzled:

"You clearly have a bloodline that is on par with the East Wind Dragon, so why are you so weak?"

Samuel was stunned.

His bloodline is comparable to that of Tevarin?

…But his power comes from Lord Barbatos. Although the extra knowledge in his mind tells him that he currently has dragon bloodline, he has always thought it is a mixed mixture and not pure.

But at this time, the North Wind Wolf King said that his bloodline was comparable to that of Tevarin...?

After thinking for a moment, he dodged the sudden attack from the North Wind Wolf King and replied:

"Part of my power comes from the Guardian of the East Wind, and the rest is a gift from Lord Barbatos. Perhaps you made a wrong judgment."

As Boreas dissipated Samuel's attack, he slowly shook his head:

"I do not detect any signature of either dragon or demon in your power."

Samuel stopped his hand, and a ball of wind elemental force was gathering on his palm.

"'Characteristics of power'...? What do you mean?"

Boreas did not answer him. Instead, he raised his head and howled, showing him his elemental power.

Samuel watched carefully to see the difference between His power and his own.

Wind and snow are the most obvious features.

What followed was a wolf-like howl, full of wild frenzy, and a vague sense of greatness and divinity.

While Samuel was staring at His elemental power in a daze, Boreas slowly walked with him as the center.

He spoke to Samuel in a low voice:

"As a remnant of the demon god 'Andrius', the elemental power in me still has the characteristics of the demon god, 'greatness'.

“As a wolf heroic spirit, you can observe that my elemental powers have many wolf characteristics.

"Now, look back at your own elemental powers."

Hearing this, Samuel lowered his head and looked at the ball of wind in his hand.

There are no characteristics at all, it is just pure wind elemental force.

Samuel was confused.

How is this going?

He had never noticed any problems in this regard. Ever since he turned into a human, the elemental power he had used had been pure.

And would Lord Barbatos, who was always observing him, not have noticed?

Boreas narrowed his eyes and moved his huge wolf head closer to Samuel's face:

“It seems that you are also confused about your own life experience.

"The 'trial' ends here. I will help you 'eliminate' those foreign black wolves."
