Seventh Reincarnation
Restoring a Little Power

"Can you help me release my curse?" Ask Dracunia expectantly.

"Curse?" Ars's eyebrows raised.

"Yes, I can't leave this place.it's thanks to the despicable curse cast by the Earth Elemental Lord!"

Dracunia moved his body slightly inside the vines.

Instantly, the squirming vines held his arms and legs.

"Oh, I thought you had an exhibitionist fetish."

"While I don't know what you mean, I don't think that's a good thing... This is the curse of the Land Elemental Lord. Bound to the lands of the Dracunia Empire, I cannot leave this place nor return to Astral Zero. Since you're not from this world, I want to try my luck, it's possible that you can free me from the curse."

"Sure, I can help you."

"really? Lalu—"

"But not now."

Before Dracunia could finish his sentence, Ars interrupted him.

"Why? If it's about rewards, I'll give you anything as long as you free me! Treasure, throne, woman... Call it what you want, I'll try to fulfill your request."

As the King of the Empire, Dracunia lacked nothing in the world but freedom. As long as the young man in front of him was willing to break his curse, he would not even mind giving up the throne of the Imperial King if Ars wanted to.

Ars shook his head and replied helplessly: "You misunderstood, it's not about your rewards. However, I am not in my prime. At most, I can only mobilize 1% of my strength."

"So so... Now everything's clear. You are obviously very strong, even stronger than any Elemental Lord, but you must come and go secretly."

Eventually, Dracunia's doubts disappeared after hearing that explanation.

Due to the curse attached to him, he could not go anywhere, but everything that happened in the capital was under his control. He had long been aware of Ars' whereabouts, but he did not dare to make direct contact. Not until he was sure the other party had no malicious intentions.

"So how long did you recover your strength?"

"Hmmm... Let me count first... About a few hundred years to a thousand years?"

"Then I'll wait."

Dracunia did not react surprised at how long he had to wait.

"Oh, you look pretty calm." Ars doesn't see impatience with him.

"Fufu... Thousands of years are nothing to the Spirit. What's more, the life that watches over humans is quite interesting." Dracunia giggled like a child.

"Now it's my turn to ask, how can you know I'm not of this world?"

"That's simple. The essence of your life is neither Human, Dragon, Giant, nor Spirit. You're a unique creature that doesn't exist in this world."

"Are all High Rank Spirits able to see the essence of life?" Ars frowned.

If so, his background from another world would be known when interacting with his other Rank-ranked Spirit.

"Ah, you don't have to worry about this. Other than me and the Elemental Lord, the other High Rank Spirits cannot see the essence of life, so you take it easy."

Dracunia's answer dispels Ars' concerns.

He had no intention of meeting the Elemental Lord in the future.

"Well, I promise, when my strength recovers, I'll help you lift your curse."

"Thank you, I'm looking forward to the day."

Dracunia does not know if Ars will keep his promise. But it is better to hold on to a glimmer of hope than nothing.

"It's late in the afternoon, I have to go home."

Looking at the twilight sky, Ars no longer wanted to chat. Then he used [Kuchiyose no Jutsu] and summoned Shichibi.

*poof*

"Wow, what is this thing? You have an interesting pet."

Dracunia's eyes sparkled to see a strange insect in front of him. He was sure that there were no such creatures in this world.

Based on the energy alone, he was sure that the insect was not inferior to a High Ranked Spirit.

Ars smiled faintly and made no comment.

"Ah, I forgot something important. I don't know what your name is yet!"

Only now did Dracunia realize she did not know the other party's name.

"just that? What a strange name..."

"You're not the first to say it and you're not the last."

Ars knows his name is a bit strange because it only consists of three letters and no surname. His friends and acquaintances often complained about this.

"By the way, Ars, do you like big boobs or do you like small ones?"

Standing on Shichibi's head, Ara almost fell down upon hearing Dracunia's question.

"I leave it to your imagination."

"Then I assume you like small breasts. You see, you were looking at me with lustful eyes, fufu..”.

Ars does not acknowledge or dispute. Then Shichibi flapped his wings and began to rise into the air.

"See you, Ars. Play here often. Oh, next time bring some cake."

A vine stretched out and waved.

Despite being a curse, Dracunia can control them to some extent.

...

In order to keep the cake from being damaged, Ars controls Shinichi to fly slower.

(It was only now that I realized how valuable [Storage Magic] was.)

He missed the days of using [Storage Magic].

Tired of doing nothing, he sat down and started cultivating.

In addition to helping Areishia work, Ars is usually diligent in cultivating to restore his strength.

After 30 minutes of absorbing the Spiritual Energy in the sky, suddenly one of the cracks on his Inner Physique disappeared and the foreign energy slightly evaporated.

Opening his eyes, Ars felt a change in his body.

"Not bad, my strength recovered 5%. It's accumulated for two years."

"And so..."

The tomoe in his eyes rotated and fused to form a new shape.

His left eye was shaped like a three-triangle that moved in a circle, while his right eye had a fire-like pattern with a circle in the middle.

The Eternal Mangekyo Sharingan!

"Haaa... I hope to unlock the abilities of [Mukagen (Limitless)], [Storage Magic], or [Divine Sense]."

Ars took a breath.

Every time he managed to recover a bit of his strength, his locked ability would open up randomly.

"Let's just, given my misfortune, this is pretty good instead of unlocking low-level magic."

Forgetting his disappointment, Ars was again optimistic. After all, other than Dracunia, no one knew of its existence thanks to [Cryptic Space].

Moreover, he had no enemies, any abilities he unlocked, it was no big deal.

After another 30 minutes, Ars reached a forest not far from the village.

Shichibi turned into a white puff of smoke and returned into the Tailed Monster Suppressing Necklace.

When Ars passed through the meadow, he felt something was wrong.

"It's weird, why is that goat still here? Usually at this time, Areishia would put them into the cage. Maybe something happened to her?"

After living together for two years, she learns that Areishia is not the type to neglect her duties.

"My feeling is not good. I have to go back!"

Feeling a bad premonition, Ars did not hide his strength. His physical body exploded with a terrifying strength.

In the blink of an eye, he accelerated breaking the speed of sound.

In just a few seconds, he arrived in front of the village.

The sight before him made Ars sweat coldly and the fear he had not felt for a long time now filled his heart.
