"Another powerful ability," Damian muttered, refocusing his attention on the colorful fairies fluttering around him like butterflies, giggling and murmuring. Find more to read on novelbuddy

Fairies were a type of spirit, similar to elemental spirits.

They were made of pure energy, and their type was determined by the kind of energy they possessed.

Most of the time, their appearance reflected their nature.

As he watched the fairies tug at his long hair and attempt to pinch his cheeks with their tiny hands, an idea suddenly struck him. "Little fairies, do you know where I could find any big fire elemental spirits? The ones that annoy you and that you want to get rid of?"

The fairies murmured among themselves in a language that Damian didn’t think was real, yet somehow, he could understand them.

He wasn’t sure how, he knew it wasn’t the result of his elemental essence, but for some reason, he could communicate with them and had even gained their trust.

After a moment of hushed conversation, some of the fairies gestured for him to follow.

They would lead him to a place where troublesome fire elemental spirits frequently caused problems for other peaceful spirits like them.

[Wind Avatar: Form Transformation Activated]

[Wind Essence] condensed around his body like a second skin, making his entire figure weightless.

His long brown and black hair danced in the wind, floating around him like a feather caught in an updraft.

Using the wind pressure generated by [Wind Essence], he propelled himself into the air and followed the little fairies.

Some zipped through the sky like lightning, while others left trails of fumes behind them.

They were fast, and before long, they had led him to the other side of a mountain.

"Woah, it’s like I just stepped into another world," Damian exclaimed as he took in the stark contrast before him.

On one side, there had been lush greenery, peaceful fields, and trees.

Now, after merely crossing a single mountain, he found himself in a scorched wasteland.

Fire blazed everywhere.

The ground was either covered in burning-hot rocks or flowing lava, which streamed like a molten river from a dark mountain in the distance.

He heard the fairies murmuring again, shaking their tiny heads. "Big fire, bad fire..."

"You can’t go inside because it’s harmful to you?" Damian asked.

The fairies nodded and retreated, though some stayed behind.

Judging by the fumes coming from their fluttering wings, the ones who remained were likely fire fairies.

One of the fairies landed on his shoulder and pointed her small hand downward.

"Big fire... they hurt the fire fairies," she said, her voice carrying the tone of a child complaining to a parent about bullies.

Damian couldn’t ignore their cuteness.

Compared to the fire elemental spirits made of rock and magma, these fire fairies were simply too adorable.

"You wait here, my little fairies. I’ll give those big bad spirits a piece of my mind," Damian said confidently before descending.

As soon as he entered the fire elemental territory, dozens of perched rocks began to shake.

Moments later, they transformed into fire elemental monsters, spirits composed of stone with fire coursing through their bodies, their elemental cores acting as both brain and heart, giving them life.

Damian dashed forward, striking one of the fire elemental spirits right in the center of its body.

His punch shattered its rocky form into pieces.

Before it could regenerate, he swiftly removed its fire elemental core, which was roughly the size of a basketball.

[Experience Gained]

"This is too easy," Damian muttered.

Within a few minutes:

[You have leveled up] x2

[Fire Elemental Core: 38/5]

He had eliminated all the fire elemental spirits in the area and collected more than enough cores to complete his dungeon mission.

"Well, I’ll extract the fire essence from the remaining cores," Damian mused.

However, as he focused his senses, he detected something unusual, several static presences deep within the lava river.

They felt similar to fire elemental cores, but of much lower quality.

While Damian went to investigate, hundreds of fire fairies flooded into the now-cleared territory, claiming it as their own.

They fluttered around him, giggling happily.

"So these fire elemental spirits took over your territory? Is that why you wanted me to help clear them out? Glad to be of help," Damian said with a smile s he retrieved the mysterious objects from the lava.

[Item: Fire Elemental Source]

[Status: Premature]

[Once it absorbs the required amount of fire essence, it will develop its own consciousness and transform into a full-fledged Fire Elemental Spirit.]

-----

He found about a dozen in the spot where he searched and sensed more scattered throughout the fire territory.

Damian turned to the fire fairies. "What can I do with these?"

One of the fairies eagerly suggested that he form a contract with them, allowing the [Premature Fire Elemental Sources] to become his summoned beasts once they fully developed into fire elemental spirits.

"That’s actually a great idea," Damian said, smiling.

He quickly pricked his finger and let a drop of blood fall onto each [Premature Fire Elemental Source].

Since they had not yet developed a consciousness, they did not resist.

[You have formed a Beast Contract with the [Premature Fire Elemental Source]] x15

After searching for a little longer, Damian found two more dozen [Premature Fire Elemental Sources] and contracted them as well.

[You have formed a Beast Contract with the [Premature Fire Elemental Source]] x43

"This is getting really fun... I wonder what will happen when they fully develop. I know that fire spirits can make weaker fire spirits submit to them," Damian muttered as he placed the [Premature Fire Elemental Sources] back where he found them.

Spirits were naturally territorial.

That was why they had driven the fire fairies out in the first place.

Now that Damian had cleared them out, the fairies had reclaimed their home.

However, it was only a temporary solution.

Eventually, new fire elemental spirits would grow using the fire essence in the area and would likely drive the fairies out again.

But this time, things would be different.

Damian had formed contracts with the developing spirits.

Once they matured, they would not harm the fire fairies because they would be under his control.

He had grown quite fond of the little fairies and wouldn’t allow anything to happen to them.

Watching the fairies dance around the territory, he summoned the [Map Function], and a prompt showing a map appeared.

Before he came here, he had marked some of the fairies using the map marker, and as they moved around the area, his map expanded.

In just half an hour, they had explored a vast region, creating a large map for him.

On the map, he could see that he was standing in a territory named [Fire Spirits Territory #187].

A little distance away was another territory called [Lightning Raijus Territory #67], and farther beyond that were territories such as [Water Serpents Territory #96] and [Water Fairy Territory #98].

As time passed, more and more territories appeared on the map.

"Okay, the next step is... let’s go with the Water element," Damian muttered.

After about fifteen minutes, he arrived at a territory called [Water Serpents Territory #96].

This place was similar to the Fire Elemental Territory, but instead of flames and heat, it was filled with ponds, rivers, and trees growing out of the water.

There were many territories within this world.

As its name suggested, this entire world was inhabited solely by spirits, each territory home to different types of elemental beings.

Each of the territories was filled with different types of spirit-related beings based on the elemental territory.

For example, the [Fire Elemental Territory] had [Fire Elemental Spirits], the [Water Serpent Territory] had water elemental serpents, which are a type of water elemental spirit, and the [Lightning Raiju Territory] was filled with four-legged lightning spirits.

There were also territories exclusively claimed by fairies, such as the [Wood Fairies’ Territory] and the [Wind Fairies’ Territory].

He definitely didn’t want to hurt the fairies, and besides, they don’t have elemental cores in them.
