Chapter 18 Zodiac Invasion 2

• Ignatius hurls massive chunk of fireball at the lion and the centaur, the attack grazed their skin but they regenerated immediately, they fire off their own attacks at Ignatius in midair and he covers himself in flames to deflect the attack. The three engaged in an endless exchange of attacks with Ignatius on the losing side.
• "Tch" why did all this have to happen when he his not around, now I am unable to use my powers to its full potential. This is Ignatius complaining about the absence of Ophel and it is definitely not because he misses Ophel. Elemental spirits are beings who reside mainly in the spirit world and in there they are able to exercise their abilities to its full potential, the only way for an Elemental to breach the gap between the spirit world and the material world is through a contract. When a summoner enters a contract with a spirit both the summoner and the summonee are bonded together until they decide to terminate the contract, with the contract in effect the Summoner is able to summon the Elemental from the spirit world to wield the elements ability, that is the only way for an element to be present in the material world. In rare cases like with a spirit King or an advanced Elemental spirit, after entering into a contract with a summoner they can breach through the boundaries of the spirit world and the material world without being summoned by their contractor, although there are downsides to this cases in that the spirits connection to the spirit world will be cut off and their abilities will be downgraded to a quarter of its actual ability. They are beings who do not belong in the material world, without a contractor they have no business meddling in the affairs of the material world thus making them outsiders to it, their authority in the material world will be diminished and the little they have will be used in the creation of the pseudo that will allow them in having access to the material world. There are also cases where the summoner has summoned the contracted spirit to the material world only to stray far away from the Summoned spirit, in a situation like that the spirits abilities will be greatly weaken making them no less than a pet. This rule applies more strictly when the Summoned Elemental spirit is in a slave contract and Ignatius who is an Elemental King is able to somewhat bypass this rule by making use of his massive energy and authority to exert power in the level of a B ranker. The downside to him doing that is when it comes to Ignatius fighting against enemies, Ignatius would have to constantly use his already limited mana depending on the strength of who he his facing he would definitely need to have his contractor by his side lest he ends up using all the little energy he has to maintain his material form and returning back to the spirit realm.
