Record of a Thousand Lives: Chapter 11

Chapter 11.  Record of a thousand lives

The sky turned black.

It was almost midnight.

In a secluded room, a man and a woman were engaged in a clandestine ceremony.

Shanette nervously swallowed her saliva as she removed her dress.

Her fair and smooth skin which she wasn’t even used to was exposed.

Her cleavage and thighs were smooth as if they were just bathed in oil.

She turned her head away with shyness.

 “Please do not look.”

 “No.”

 “What?”Kang Yoonsoo said nonchalantly.

 “I said no.”

 “What?”

 “I’m too lazy to even close my eyes, or turn my head.”

Shanette turned red as she stared at him.

Biting her lips tightly, she made a slightly angry face then she softly walked towards the crucible.

It wasn’t hot.

It felt like hot spring water, at most.

After receiving the sculpture of force, Shanette grew natural tolerance to heat.

Ordinary flames did not even make her feel hot.

She cautiously walked into the big melting pot.

As nude Shanette stood in the center of the melting pot, violent fire engulfed her.

However, she did not get burned, not even a strain of her hair.

 “Make the fire hotter.”

Kang Yoonsoo said from outside the melting pot.

Of course, she did not know how to manage fire.

However, for some strange reason, Shanette knew how.

The sculpture of force which was embedded in her body informed what she had to do.

 “Whooow.  Whoop.”

She breathed deeply.

She spun her hand in a narrow motion.

She focused intensely.

Then an amazing phenomenon took place.

The flames which had been the subject of her fear and trauma felt very close and familiar.

She was the fire, and the fire was her.

Red flames were added, around her, making the fire stronger.

Whirl-!

Thrrk!  Thrk!

Not able to withstand the rising heat, the melting pot began to shake.

Kang Yoonsoo fiddled with the life suppressing ring.

There existed 4 types of spirits in the continent of Sylphia.

Salamander, the fire spirit.

Icicle, the ice spirit.

Bright, the light spirit.

Sharpness, the sword spirit.

It was the Salamander spirit that Kang Yoonsoo was trying to create.

The first step in the process of creating the spirit was to prepare a raw flesh that would make up the spirit’s boy.

The raw material was the most important element in the creation of the spirit.

It was because the strength of the spirit was determined by the quality of the raw material.

The raw material needed to create the Salamander was the dragon’s breath.

Dragon mercenary’s spear has been added to the melting pot, but compared to the real dragon breath it wasn’t worth the fire on the tip of a candle.

Thus, Shanette walked into the melting pot in order to make the fire even much hotter.

It was to enhance the ingredients foundation.

Shanette moaned inside the melting pot.

 “Is this enough heat?”

 “More.”

When Shanette focused more intensely, the fire became even more powerful.

The melting pot shook as if it was about to explode.

 “Still not enough?”

 “More.”

 “Yeeeaaaahh!”

The overpowering heat escaped the melting pot.

It caused Kang Yoonsoo to feel the heat on his face.

However, he was not satisfied.

He waited patiently.

Soon, one of the internal equipment of the melting pot quietly exploded unable to withstand the heat.

 Kwaaang!

 “Yikeee!”

 “Are you OK.”

The nonchalant words of Kang Yoonsoo did not console Shanette, at all.

The temperature rose up to the maximum.

Now, even the actual part of the melting pot began to melt.

Shanette was shaken.

Even she felt the heat at this level of temperature.

It was hot enough that even she felt like she couldn’t endure it.

Unable to tolerate much longer, she extended her hand out towards the iron door of the melting pot.

 Thruck.

The iron door did not open.

The lock has been melted down due to the heat.

There was not even enough energy to even try hitting the iron door.

 Thrrrruk!

A small sound came from the iron door.

Pazzz-!

Kang Yoonsoo’s great sword crushed the half melted iron door.

Extending out his arm, he grabbed her shoulder and pulled her out.

Even though his gloves were on fire and his hand burned, Kang Yoonsoo did not show much reaction.

 “Cough!  Cough!”

Shanette coughed suddenly.

Even the closed up space felt cold.

Kang Yoonsoo pulled her to him and hugged her quickly.

With that, he felt slightly warm.

Taking off his clothes, Kang Yoonsoo used them to cover up Shanette.

 “Is, is this sufficient now?”

 “Yeah.”

At that moment, strong light was being emitted out.

Not able to withstand the heat, the melting pot was about to explode.

When the iron shrapnel was about to shoot out everywhere, Kang Yoonsoo extended his right hand which had the ring on.

 “Spirit creation, Salamander.”

Kwaaang-!

In the end, the melting pot has exploded.

The red hot iron pieces of the melting pot splashed out in to all directions.

However, not even a single piece of the shrapnel came towards Kang Yoonsoo.

Black smoke filled the area.

“Ah!”

Appearing to be surprised, Shanette was amazed.

The flames, which were inside the melting pot, converged into a single body of fire.

The heat was mild.

Soothing flame that engulfed the violently pitching flames congregated in a spherical shape and floated in the air. 

The external appearance was like an embryo.

 [Please indicate the gender of the salamander, the fire spirit.  Male salamander possesses powerful strength, but violent.  On the other hand, female salamander possesses high level of magic power, but stubborn.]

 [The dragon breath on the spear blade is incomplete.  Without the option to choose, the spirit’s gender will be determined as female.]

The condensed embryo fanned out the waves of flame.

Within the bright light, a new life was being formed.

 [The dragon breath is too weak.  The spirit’s age will be young.  The physical size will be small.  The power will be decreased.  Strength – 47]

 [Shanette’s warmth strengthens the spirit of the spirit.  Magic power +4]

 [The dragon breath and the sculpture of force have achieved appropriate harmonization.  Fire power +12]

 [Spirit can be created only in one type.  The chance to create a salamander has lapsed.]

Finally, the physical shape has been completely formed.

The red light shined beautifully.

A girl with orange color hair fell over the pile of soot.

 “Ouch.”

Having her face buried in the soot, the girl puffed and huffed.

 [Salamader, the fire spirit, has been created.

She will be placed in the world of summoning, and can be called on when needed.

She may get upset, should you summon her from a cold location.

Salamander can take on the form of a human, or a salamander.]

Shanette looked at the girl with a surprise.

That girl is a spirit?

In general, spirits were entities said to lend powers without being seen, like the fairies.

This girl was exactly the same as a human girl, except that she was clothed in fire.

Kang Yoonsoo walked over and quickly picked up the girl off the pile of the soot.

The girl was prettier and redder than the evening sun.

She appeared to be no older than 10 years.

Salamander, in some blanked fashion, fixed her eyes on Kang Yoonsoo.

 “Echu.”

As the girl sneezed, Kang Yoonsoo turned his head just enough to dodge her saliva.

As if she was cold, the fire spirit sniffed.

Kang Yoosoo washed the snot and soot off of her face.

Then the girl spoke for the first time.

 “…..Daddy?”

 “I’m not your daddy.”

Kang Yoonsoo replied emotionlessly.

Salamander looked unsettled.

Quickly surveying the surrounding area, the girl looked at Shanette.

 “…..Mommy?”

 “Shanette is not your mommy.”

Then the pretty girl made a face that signaled that she was about to cry.

Tears formed in her eyes as she was about to cry.

 “Dad.  Mom.  I don’t have them?”

 “Right, you have no parents.”

Kang Yoonsoo said without much meaning.

 “You’re a life form that I have created.  You’ve got no such things.”

 “Aaaaaang!”

……He made the little girl, who was just been born, cry.
