After slaughtering the Girl Princess by his side, Ars' anger subsided slightly. As soon as he turned around, Est's figure was no longer there but a sword stuck on the floor.
Apparently Est is not psychologically strong after knowing the truth that the cause of Areishia's death was because of her. Therefore, he sealed himself.
"Haaa... The hero I knew ended tragically."
Ars thinks only he's left in the Zohar Palace.
"Congratulations on your victory, Ars."
A female voice sounded in the back. Turning around, Ars finds the black sword Solomon used, floating through the air. The next moment, the sword turned into a beautiful girl with a pair of black wings on her back.
Seeing the girl, Ars was shocked and astonished to see her here.
"Res... tia? Is that you?!"
"Maybe you've forgotten me? Am I the only one who considers the days we spend together worthwhile?"
Stepping over Solomon's corpse, Restia ran over and threw herself into Ars' arms.
"So you are the Spirit... Besides, you're the Spirit Contracted Demon King Solomon." Ars is dizzy.
"That's not my wish! Solomon forcibly tied the contract with me. If I had to choose, I'd rather have a contract with you, Ars."
Restia's tiny body trembled, her arms hugging Ars' waist tighter and tighter.
"I'm..."
Ars is speechless. Right now, his mood was in turmoil. Just now she had lost the woman she loved, and the next second, another girl wanted to be with her.
The silent atmosphere did not last long, suddenly the transparent crystal in Solomon's chest floated in the air.
The strange phenomenon immediately attracted Ars attention from his daydream. Releasing Restia's embrace, she stood in front of him and looked alert.
Restia seemed to know something, she said softly: "Just calm down, it's not a threat."
Even so, Ars did not lower his vigilance. He had not fully trusted Restia. After all, the two had been separated for 2 years.
During this time, a person's character can change drastically. Moreover, previously Restia was the Spirit Contracted Demon King Solomon.
Restia: "😔"
Feeling Ars' distrust of him, Restia was sad but he felt it was normal.
Ars's attention was drawn to the colorful glowing crystal that floated above Solomon's corpse.
Shortly thereafter, there was a colorful change.
In the center of the transparent crystal, a figure emerged from the light... It was a beautiful woman, her skin as white as snow, wearing a dress of thin cloth.
She looked a little older than Areishia. Her pale and beautiful face was framed by green hair reminiscent of emeralds.
His eyes are blood red. The graceful line on her ears ended in a pointed shape.
Her beauty, sacred and inviolable.
"Spirit?" Ars frowned.
It was the fourth humanoid spirit Ars had encountered.
Terminus Est, Holy Sword Spirit Demon Killer.
Restia Ashdoll, Vorpal Sword Spirit.
Lastly, there was Bahamut, the Dragon King of the Dracunia Empire. Each of them was a top-tier Spirit with incredible strength.
Then, the spirit that was before him right now...
Inside the shining crystal, the girl's lips moved gently.
"Second male elementalist... I'll tell you the truth so that you don't experience the same tragedy that Solomon suffered."
Her voice was as gentle as a mother's, yet also as innocent as the voice of a young girl.
Hearing this voice, which touched one's heartstrings, Ars did not lower his vigilance.
(It seems he thought I was an Elementalist. It was not surprising, the scale of this world power was oriented towards Elementalists who used Spirit power.) Ars thought in his mind.
The people of this world thought the mystical power of Ars came from the Spirit and he himself never denied their misunderstanding.
"Restia, who's the girl?" Ars glanced at Restia and asked.
Restia came closer to his ears.
"He is the Spirit of Iris, the only Spirit who has made a contract with Demon King Solomon and his wife."
"Well?!" Ars was shocked to hear this shocking news.
"Didn't Solomon make a contract with the 72 Arcdemon-Class Spirits? Why are you saying he only contracted one Spirit?"
"You're wrong about that. Demon King Solomon only contracted one Spirit, Iris. He treated the other 72 Spirits as powerful tools, not as Contracted Spirits. He dominated them and never cared about the 72 Spirits in his heart."
"So so... Whatever, it doesn't matter."
Having understood one of the world's greatest secrets, Ars showed no interest. Without Areishia by his side, he didn't care about anything anymore.
As Restia explains to Ars, Iris hugs her husband's corpse with affection and regret.
"What's your purpose in showing up now?" Ask Ars.
Even as Solomon fought and was killed, Iris did not show up.
Why is he showing himself now?
"Because there's something I have to tell you" said Iris, not letting go of her embrace.
"Is there anything you want to tell me?"
"Yes. I just want to tell you the truth. I hope you didn't make the same mistake he did."
'He' Iris meant Solomon.
"Please touch that crystal, Ars."
At that time, Iris called Ars name for the first time.
"Don't worry, it's only temporary, to synchronize your mind.” Restia also encouraged Ars to do so.
"Alright, I want to know what you want to say."
Ars walked up to the crystal, he was not afraid of Iris and Restia playing tricks on him.
If that happened, he did not mind eliminating those two humanoid Spirits.
When his fingertips touched the crystal surface, the colorful light instantly shone brighter.
At the same time, great memories appeared in Ars's mind.
"Please witness the true truth of Solomon Jerusian... And don't let you be like her."
Iris' voice was heard in Ars' ear.
