Swordmaster's Youngest Son Novel - Chapter 866
## Chapter 866
[I should also meet that friend of mine. Now that I think about it, I don’t recall having a proper conversation with your Phoenix after joining the alliance. She must be a great Immortal.]
“Understood, Miss Ameris.”
To summon Tess, they headed to the underground training grounds of Tikan Palace. It was in this very training ground where Jin had first summoned Tess, when the palace was a mansion.
“Suddenly reminded me of the time when Lady Alisa used to beat me up. I lost 109 times and managed to win by summoning Tess in our final duel.”
Murakan and Quikantel recalled the day they had first seen the Tess that Jin had summoned. They had been so surprised that the two dragons dropped their forks while celebrating at a party for Jin.
Whoosh—!
Blue flames spread throughout the training grounds as a summoning circle formed. Within it, Tess appeared, and Quikantel immediately bowed his head.
“Greetings, Ruler of the World of Flames.”
As always, Murakan remained motionless with his head rigidly raised for no reason and was pecked by Tess’s beak.
“Oh, how long are you going to torment me like this! Still, I am Murakan, but this kind of treatment every time is a little, Ouch! Stop cursing, it really hurts! You are truly something!”
[Although I feel sorry every time… Jin, your guardian dragon seems to lack intelligence often. Could it be that he was born so strong that there were not enough opportunities for him to mature?]
“Even if Murakan had been born weak, he would have been the same, probably.”
[Hmm, that’s true. But, your elder sister was strong from the moment she was born, and she lacks a bit of awareness, but she doesn’t resemble Murakan much.]
As Ameris approached, Tess, who had been bothering Murakan, turned her head.
[Nice to meet you, Tess. You seem like a very ancient Immortal. I am Ameris, entrusted with the duty of protecting the boundary of the worlds after the death of the Sun God.]
Murakan naturally expected Tess to erupt in anger. Among the gods he knew, there was no being who could address Tess so informally and escape unscathed.
Quikantel, who knew Tess’s temper, was slightly tense, but Tess surprisingly nodded her head and showed a friendly response.
“What! Nice to meet you? Listen, Tess, she is much weaker than me! Besides, being respectful? Aren’t you that kind of person?”
[Please, Murakan, shut up while the adults are talking.]
While Jin could not hear the spiritual language that Tess was speaking, he could roughly feel the flow of the conversation.
[Oh… Speaking of which, Jin cannot hear this kind of spiritual conversation. Tess, have you never had a direct conversation with Jin until now? Was there always someone like Quikantel or this idiot acting as an interpreter?]
Tess nodded her head again.
[Even if the separation law is strict, an Immortal of your caliber should not be unable to even exchange a few words with a contractor. Valeria managed to restore some of my memories recently, so I have gained some of my minor abilities. I will be able to help you a little.]
Ameris began to whisper in a language Jin could not understand, as if casting a spell.
When the spell concluded, Jin could hear Tess’s voice for the first time.
[Wow… Quite impressive, Ameris. The ability to convert spiritual language into human language in this way.]
Jin was surprised and could only stare at Tess. Murakan and Quikantel had similar reactions.
“Tess is speaking…!”
[This is the first time we have communicated directly in this way, Jin. Thanks to Ameris, it seems I am having a very rare experience.]
“We have been together since my days as a reserve flagbearer, but it feels awkward to have a conversation like this.”
[You sound adorable.]
“No, even the child speaks informally, why can’t I?”
[This idiot Murakan is completely useless. Despite being beaten every time, you never learn. You really are something. Do you act like this because you are not in the World of Flames? When you come to the World of Flames next time, ah. I am going crazy. If I keep scolding like this, I might actually kill you. If you were Murakan, so what? What big deal? Jin is my precious contractor, and you are just a dragon.]
Whack! Tess clenched her wing like a fist and hit Murakan. Just as Murakan used to say, “stop cursing,” Tess was quite rough.
While the image he had anticipated was slightly shattered, Jin felt happy thinking that he could now have conversations with Tess in the future.
[Well, thanks to this bastard, I lost my composure, Ameris. I have shown an unpleasant side.]
[It’s alright, in fact, I feel refreshed.]
“You must be quite burdened these days, Ameris. Zito is breaking the Order of Separation and wreaking havoc on the surface… He should stay quietly underground and live there. Why does he keep seeking the surface?”
[If all the most powerful Immortals after the death of the Sun God were like you, this would not have happened. That’s probably why Jin summoned you. The World of Flames, is your domain also located underground?]
[No, it is not. If my domain were in the underworld, that damn Zito would not have been able to run wild like this… Oh!]
Unexpectedly, Tess showed a pleased expression.
[As I thought, a being who guarded the separation of worlds. Originally, even using an interpreter, it was impossible to accurately convey information about my domain to mortals.]
[I manage this Order, so such modifications are possible. When I had nine heads, I could modify even more content. I didn’t do it because it wasn’t necessary and because it was risky.]
Jin once again realized that Ameris was an even higher-ranking being among the Immortals. Even Tess, who had slain mid-ranking gods with a few breaths, could not break free from the Order of Separation using her own power.
[Alright, then, where is your domain, the World of Flames?]
[It exists at the highest point of the sky.]
“Was the place we visited before the highest point of the sky? We simply thought it was another dimension or some kind of subspace.”
[End of the sky…? Oh, could it be? Are you an Immortal in charge of reincarnation?]
At that, Tess nodded with a sigh.
Because it was information that mortals should not know, but with only Jin, Murakan, and Quikantel present in the training ground, and the world was in chaos, it seemed alright to reveal this.
[Yes, that’s right. To be eternal, immortal, and to guard the cycle of reincarnation, that was the mission entrusted to me after the death of the Sun God. That’s why I gained such immense power.]
Similarly, this information was originally beyond Tess’s ability to share with mortals. Jin respectfully listened to the world’s greatest secret.
[I have heard stories from Solderet and the Witch in the past that such an immortal existence existed. They said that there is a place in the sky that even they cannot climb, and it is filled with fire. So it was you… you carried such a heavy burden as mine.]
Tess and Zito.
They were beings responsible for the order called reincarnation or rebirth and hell, respectively. Every life, when it dies, goes to one of the realms, Tess or Zito.
Ameris explained this while looking at Jin.
“So, Tess and Zito are perfectly opposite beings.”
[Yes, Jin. I spoke of him as if he were nothing, but that is only because I fought him with the power of my own body in my territory. If Zito invades the surface with all his power restored, you and your friends will not be able to handle him.]
“So, Tess cannot have more influence on the human world like Zito?”
[That’s something I will have to think about. Zito used a technique to ignore the order, so I might have a way too. However, it is impossible for both Zito and me to recover our full powers.]
[Even if Zito recovers some of his old power, it will be a big problem. As you can see, I have lost many abilities, Tess. If you can help our alliance, it will be a great help.]
[I will do my best to find a solution. An idea that comes to mind is to incarnate through Jin’s physical body, like what happened in the old Oterium… But if I do that, Jin will die.]
[It’s a beautiful thing to die protecting the world, but that is an end that neither I nor the others want. Besides, even if you incarnate through Jin, it will not be possible to defeat Zito, whose very body has reached the surface.]
[Probably so. I don’t want to admit it, but fundamentally, I am not that different from that guy. And I have another idea… Jin, have you met Sheenu recently?]
Jin nodded.
“Yes, I have.”
[His fire and mine are polar opposites. However, fundamentally, it is the same fire. So, perhaps, I can manifest using Sheenu’s authority.]
“Sheenu’s authority…?”
-Now, tell me what Sheenu and Kelliark want from me.
-Yes, Sir Jin. They expect you to cure Sir Kelliark.
Jin remembered the conversation he had with the young fire dragon, Pyre, when Sheenu manifested in the past.
At that time, Jin learned about the Sun God’s religious sect and Sheenu’s intentions.
‘Although I refused to cure Kelliark, Sheenu provided me with various pieces of information because stopping the Sun God religion was also necessary for him.’
If that is the case, depending on how he views the True Demon World and Zito, it is possible to make a deal with him.
It was not a problem that could be solved immediately. Sheenu and Kelliark’s whereabouts were still uncertain.
“First, I will gather information on Sheenu while preparing for war with the True Demon World, Tess. Sheenu once tried to make a deal with me, so it might be possible to communicate with him.”
Of course, the best outcome would not be a deal, but to “subjugate” Sheenu and create a situation where he has no choice but to follow Jin’s will.
If this had been when Kelliark was the leader of Zipple, it might not have been possible, but now it is not the case.
[So, you are saying that the possibility of you manifesting is not completely ruled out?]
[That’s right, Ameris. Since I started making contracts with humans as a phoenix, not as an administrator of reincarnation. The contractor I am most satisfied with is Jin. I have no intention of letting Jin die at the hands of Zito.]
Tess met Jin’s gaze.
[Don’t worry and keep moving forward, Jin. I will also continue to protect you in the future.]
