《"I Am The Hero"》Chapter 5
Advertisement
-Gabriel’s perspective-
Odd I thought I heard a female scream full of agony, but it’s all quiet now.
Whatever must be my imagination.
Now that I can use magic maybe I should sign a contract to an elemental spirit to enhance the further use of my magic.
I remember that forming contract with an elemental spirit will permanently loss the amount of mana. Ah right, there also a way to form contract with an elemental spirit by sacrificing either something from my physical body or life essence. Now that I think of it in one of the novels, I have read the main character sacrifice a part of his physical body becoming the most overpowered person. It also said that losing a bigger part of the body increase the chance of making a contract with a great spirit.
I know what to do I will sacrifice one of my body parts to obtain the same power as the main character of that novel. Perhaps an arm, because I can replace it with a cool looking metal arm just like in that novel.
Alright, I have decided an arm will be a sacrifice to form a contract with a great elemental spirit. I decided that my left arm will be sacrifice, because I am a righty and I been with my right arm in my whole life. Even in my previous life righty will forever be by my side.
Now I need to use a sharp object to cut my arm swiftly. Ah right, the sword I brought with me will do the work.
I am actually not prepared to cut my left arm like who in the right mind will cut their own left arm, but if I will get to make a contract with a great elemental spirit, I will even give away one more of my limbs.
I hold the sword and prepare to cut my left arm.
As the blade reach my arm I hesitate.
“Fuck I can’t do it” I mumble
No, I will not miss my chance to form a contract with a great elemental spirit.
I just need to scream as hard as I can, so that my brain won’t focus on me trying to cut my arm.
Alright, I can do this.

I deeply inhale and start to scream as I try to cut my arm.
-Aqua’s perspective-
After Sylphy almost beaten me to death my body is full of bruises.
Thank celestial being (Thank god), I am alive.
I need to use a healing magic for this amount of damage that monstrous Sylphy done to me. I touch center of my chest and casted a healing magic on me, but seems like not all the bruises disappear.
“What did you do that for? Sylphy” I ask
As I look on Sylphy’s face I can see her smiling menacingly and as if she were saying ‘want me to beat you up again’.
“Never mind” I mumble.
“AAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHH!!!” scream coming from Gabriel.
Huh what was that, that scream came from where the otherworldly being is.
I look at him and saw him trying to cut his left arm. I rush and tried to stop him and hold his hand, but my hands slip through.
“What the hell are you doing otherworldly being, stop this” Aqua said to Gabriel, but Gabriel can’t hear her cause of his screams.
I see Sylphy gets closer to where we are and said
“Oho, he’s trying to make a contract with a spirit by sacrificing his left arm”
“How do we make him stop?” I replied
“Make a contract with him”
“Huh, but the otherworldly being have no mana meaning he can’t even see us”
“Then do something that he can acknowledge you”
I have to think something, something that can make him acknowledge me.
Ah I know a way, but I don’t know if this will work.
Aqua went to the closest tree she uses a high-pressure water at the tip of her finger and draw a square shape on the bark then removes the square shape bark on tree and draw a smiley face on it.
Alright I think this will work.
Time to throw a water ball on the otherworldly being face to make him stop.
I opened my palm and made a water ball floating on my hand and threw it on the otherworldly face.
A direct hit, he seems to stop and confuse.
I hold the bark in front of my face as if it were a mask.
Alright time to make a contract with him, so he won’t harm himself once more.

-Gabriel’s perspective-
Something hit my face all of a sudden making me wet, because of that I stop what I was doing and look around.
As I look around the area, I saw a floating bark with a…. smiley face. Is this an elemental spirit or something?
Huh why is there a low tier elemental spirit here, was it attracted by my mana or something. It seems it wants to form a contract with me. Too bad I am not going to make a contract with a low tier elemental spirit.
Alright I just need to say something to it, so it can leave me alone. So that I can resume trying to make a contract with a greater elemental spirit.
“Leave, low tier elemental spirit I don’t need you” I said it.
-Aqua’s perspective-
Did he just call me a low tier elemental spirit?! I could kill him instantly if I want to. If only the celestial being didn’t say to watch over him, I could not care less if he dies. I could cut off his head if I ever want to using water magic or cut off his limbs one by one with the use of water magic and listen to his screams of agony as if it is birds singing gracefully.
Alright calm down, calm down me I just need to show him my true power as a great elemental spirit, but first I need to say something.
“I can do powerful magic”
“Oh, really now” Gabriel sarcastically said.
I want to make a hole on his stomach using water magic, I want to make him suffer every minute.
“Yes, I can show you” I pleasantly said to him.
“Show me then” Gabriel sarcastically said once more.
I want to kill him so much that I will flood this entire world. Think happy thoughts, just happy thoughts.
I need to think of a high tier magic. Ah right, weather magic is a high tier magic that only great elemental spirits can do.
“I can change the weather” I said to him.
“Oh ok” Gabriel said with a tone of disbelief
I just need to make it rain.
I raise my hand up and point it in the sky then lower it to the ground as fast as I could, then clouds fill the skies and then it rains down on the area.
“Wow you really change the weather” said by Gabriel in awe.
-Gabriel’s perspective-
I can’t believe it, a low tier elemental spirit doing a high tier magic like weather magic. If it ranks up, it can become the most powerful great elemental spirit.
I need to say I approve of its talents and become my contracted elemental spirit. How do I form a contract again? Ah, I remember by giving it a name. It said that low tier elemental spirit has no name and greater elemental spirit has a name, if the person making the contract approves of the greater elemental spirit current name it will be the same, but it can still be changed by the one making the contract.
“Alright I approve of your talents”
“Okay so the making of the contract now begins” said by Aqua.
“My name is Gabriel and I shall make a contract with you”
“I am a water spirit, but not just any water spirit I am Aqu-“
“Your name shall be Barky” said by Gabriel not letting Aqua finish her sentence.
-Aqua’s perspective-
Did he just change my name to barky?? Me, Aqua the great water spirit just got her name change to Barky, that must be a mistake, right? Alright I just need to tell him my name before he confirms the change of my name.
“Master, um my name is Aqua “I softly said
“Can you say it again, Barky? I Didn’t hear you”
It can’t be my name is changed to Barky, the once name Aqua the great water spirit will be now known as Barky the great water spirit.
FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCK!!!!!!
-Gabriel’s perspective-
I made a contract with a low tier water spirit with a form of square bark wood with a smiley face. I guess elemental spirits have many forms. So, I named it Barky, it has a female voice guess It’s a female elemental spirit. Wait do elemental spirits even have gender?
She seems to be happy with the name I given her, because she’s not saying anything after I called her Barky.
