Solo Clear – Chapter 32: Stage Five #1



“We cannot ask you to perform such a dangerous task . We have other methods, so we don’t have to go by your plan . ”

Master Kalax went against my plan .

“No, sir . With his power, it’s enough to carry out his plan . We’ll attack the front first and while the internal defense weakens, he can use that opportunity to invade and take down the enemy . If we do this, it’ll work in our favor . ”

Hacrim took my side and helped me convince Master Kalax .

“There’s no need to doubt his power . It might actually hinder him if we try to assist him . ”

Thanks to Hacrim’s opinion, the other clan leaders thought about the plan again .
The result?

“Okay . You seem confident and since I can’t ignore the other clan leaders’ agreement, we’ll go with your plan and attack the base today . ”

As soon as Master Kalax finished speaking, the other clan leaders nodded their head and I did as well .
While the other clan leaders were reorganizing their soldiers, I was given a bit of free time .

It couldn’t really be considered free time because there wasn’t much I could do with this iron-smelling base .
While walking without any thought, I was surprised when I felt a strong mana and turned my head towards that direction .

I felt the mana under a small house that was covered by a tent .
The exterior didn’t match the base at all, but mana was flowing out of that place, so I couldn’t help but approach it .

‘Master Kalax?’

He was inside the house with an old, female Orc .
A table was set in the center of the room, and on top of it, there were beautiful beads in different colors .
The energy that was coming from there was pulling me in .

“We have a guest, Kalax . ”

“Huh?”

Despite of the fact that the old, female Orc had her eyes closed, she knew that I was standing behind her .

“I’m sorry for interrupting . ”
“It’s you . Come on in, it’s fine . ”



Master Kalax invited me into the tent .
When I walked in, I noticed very unique decorations that couldn’t be found in the real world .
However, I felt that the female woman was more mysterious that the decorations .
The mana was dancing around her .
Even though I spent a lot of time trying to familiarize myself with mana, that never happened to me .

“How’d you know I was behind you? Is it a skill that uses your mind?”

Master Kalax didn’t understand what I was saying and tilted his head to the side .
It was the same for her as well .

“We do not have unlimited potential like humans do . Because of that, messengers of God are not satisfied with us . The skill that you mentioned is probably something that we cannot obtain . ”
“Then, how did you see me? You seem…”
“I’m blind . ”

It seemed like she lost her eyesight due to old age .
However, I couldn’t see sadness or despair within her smile .

“Her name is Azera and she is the best sorcerer among the Orcs . Before I leave for battle, I always ask her to let me hear the voices of the spirit . ”
“Voices of the spirits?”
“Yes . ”

Spirits were something that I didn’t encounter at all while I was stuck in the third stage .

“Would you like to hear them?”
Master Kalax got up from his seat and let me sit down .
That’s when I was able to really see Azera’s face .
Despite of the fact that she was right in front of me, I couldn’t really feel her presence .
It felt like I encountered a bright, harmless spirit .

“Please close your eyes . ”

I listened to what she said and slowly closed my eyes .
After passing through the darkness, I dived into the abyss .
The inner world that I entered was always quiet .



“Wow, this guy entered this place with one try . ”
“You’re right . Coming to this place is a pretty difficult task . ”

I started hearing someone’s voice and I soon realized that the voices belonged to the spirits .
When I slowly opened my eyes, I noticed that there were spirits all around me .

“Hello!!”

A spirit that was smaller than my finger greeted me energetically .
If the spirits were split into ranks, this one would most definitely be one of the low-ranked spirits .

“You neglected me because I’m weak, huh?!”

The spirit knew what I was thinking through my expression and started getting angry .
Why was Master Kalax trying to listen to their voices?

“Move aside . I would like to meet him . ”
“…No way . ”
“I’m the oldest spirit that was born from the Land of Beginning .


The spirit that appeared had an enormous amount of aura .

However, they were so strong that they couldn’t be compared to the spirits around them and they even had a form .
The spirit was similar to a giant and they kneeled before me .
I was the owner of this place, but because of the aura that the spirit was releasing, it felt like I was going to get pushed out .

“You might believe that you have a lot of freedom because you’re by yourself, but will you be able to really control yourself if everything disappeared?”

Even though we only exchanged a couple of glances, it felt like they looked into my entire life .
The question that they asked was such an intense question .

“Why do you ask?”
“Because it’s something you’ll experience in the near future . ”
“…I put myself in this situation ever since I was a kid . And I did a pretty good job . Also, I’m not sure if you know, but I spent three years in the third stage by myself . ”

The Great Spirit stretched out their face towards me even more as if they were trying to know everything about me .



“You’re definitely strong . However, it’s only compared to the other humans . You’ve already felt emptiness and was overwhelmed with loneliness . Also…you know that it’s something that you yourself cannot overcome . ”
“I’m not sure what you’re saying…because that’s what I am . ”
“With your strength, you’ll complete this stage without any issues . Before that, visit me once more . There’s something I must tell you . ”

That was the last conversation that I had with the spirits .

“Ack!!”

When I came back to my senses, I screamed and gasped for air .
Because the Great Spirit’s power was too strong, the amount of time I could stay there was shortened .

“Did you meet them?”

Azera spoke with the same smile she had earlier .

“Yes, it was amazing . I was close to not coming back . ”
“When you meet them next time, don’t keep your guard up . You unconsciously tried to push away the spirits because you were too nervous . ”
“…I understand . ”

I felt a bit lightheaded and had a headache as well, so I decided to leave the tent .

Master Kalax followed behind me .

“Do you always talk with that specific spirit?”
“Yes . That spirit provides me with great lessons on how I should live my life . ”
“Like, whether you’ll win the war or not?”
“The Great Spirit does not involve themselves with the war that we’re in . They have always remained neutral . ”
“The God that the Orcs believe in…is it that spirit?”

He shook his head .

“There are many that worship the spirit, but there’s a separate God that we worship . Once we take back the base, I’ll take you to the temple . ”

Pat, pat!!

A group of small Orcs that were riding on wolves stopped in front of us .

“Everything is ready, Master Kalax!!”
“I see . We’ll join you . ”

***

The Orcs created an outpost in front of the base and we were waiting for the command to charge .
According to the spy, the inside of the base was really quiet .

“Did they abandon the base and run away?”

Orkhar spoke with a suspicious tone .
The other clan leaders looked like they couldn’t figure the enemy’s intention .

“If it’s a trap, what kind of trap did they set?”

No one answered my question .

“If it’s quiet, it could be a good opportunity for us . Let’s go with the plan and press on!!”
“Hacrim is right . If they haven’t been preparing themselves, it’s a good time to attack . ”

Something still felt off, but the last meeting before the attack ended just like that .
There wasn’t enough information to determine what the enemy was planning .
“I grabbed the map that Orkhar gave me and headed towards the outpost .
The wolf that I rode on quickly ran through the grass .
There was an X mark on the map and when I arrived at that area, I waited for their signal .

Boom!!

When I heard the sound of explosives going off in the distance, I took out my sword and quickly entered inside .
The passageway was exactly the same as the one that was on the map .
I arrived at the spot where I would climb up and I removed the cover without any hesitation and jumped out .

Swoosh!!

And what I saw were a group of humans and Elves that were waiting to bring me down .

‘…Did they know about our plan?’

<Stage Five> End .
