Chapter 35: Test of the Spirit King's Strength

They immediately had Asia sign a contract with the Thunder Dragon, and Badr and his companions continued their journey.

"Mr. Zatouji, are there many powerful familiars in the Familiar Forest?"

Out of concern for Badr, Asia couldn't help but ask as she held the Thunder Dragon in her arms.

The small creature enjoyed lying in Asia's embrace, its small paws restlessly resting on the girl's chest.

Badr looked at the creature, his eyes narrowing slightly.

Could it be a male dragon?

Zatouji seemed to like the pure and lovely Asia, smiling as he answered:

"There are many powerful familiars in the Familiar Forest. It's hard to tell who's strong and who's weak because some familiars can mutate. You never know until they are fully grown!"

He patted his chest, "But don't worry, if we come across a familiar with strong potential, I can definitely judge it accurately. We won't miss any suitable familiars!"

"That's great, thank you, Mr. Zatouji!" Asia was overjoyed and gave Badr a sweet smile.

Badr's expression was calm, with a gentle smile, "Thank you, Asia, for caring so much about me."

"Of course, it is my duty."

The team moved on. During this time, under Zatouji's guidance, Badr and his group encountered many decent familiars, but none that caught Badr's eye.

All of these familiars' abilities were too ordinary.

They weren't even as impressive as the previous slime, which could at least affect the magical power of female creatures.

Just when Badr thought that he might not find a suitable familiar this time, Rias suddenly let out a soft "huh".

Everyone stopped and followed Rias gaze to a canyon not far away.

"What is that..."

Asia couldn't help but cover her mouth, her eyes full of surprise.

Inside the canyon, numerous colorful figures floated in the air, each of them exuding a significant amount of magical power, the number of them reaching at least a thousand!

"Are they all familiars?"

Rias asked in astonishment, while Zatouji's expression changed slightly to show a contemplative look.

"They seem to be elemental spirit-type familiars?"

"Ara~ ma, they seem to be worshipping something..." Akeno Himejima watched the scene at the end of the canyon from a distance.

At that moment, Zatouji excitedly clapped his hands, "I got it! This situation must mean that a Spirit King has been born!"

"A spirit..." Badr murmured, his face calm, "I hope it's not like the water ghost, Undine, that we saw before.

If it was, he would turn around and leave immediately...

"Tsk tsk, that's why outsiders are outsiders."

Zatouji didn't have the same friendly attitude towards Badr as he had towards Asia, and rather arrogantly explained, "Spirits come in many types, with different abilities and appearances."

"Is that so? Then let's see what kind of spirit king this is!" Rias elegantly brushed her long hair behind her back and spoke with a smile.

They approached from another direction and soon had the full view of the canyon.
