Chapter Index

    The warrior’s sword.

    An object worthy of being called a demigod and a beloved soldier who shared the legend and achievements of the hero Perdion throughout his life.

    The sword, which was legendary for never breaking, becoming dull, or rusting, was as famous as the warrior Ferdion.

    There was excitement in the eyes of those who had reached the end of the tomb.

    Because seeing the legendary weapon, the Hero’s Sword, which may be the greatest weapon in the history of the continent, is not enough, you might even be able to obtain it.

    In a space filled with such excitement.

    “Then, we will proceed with verification.”

    Baran took the sword in his hand and slowly pulled it out of the scabbard.

    And finally, the hero’s sword appeared in front of the audience.

    The hero’s sword appeared like that… … .

    “… What can I say, it’s ordinary.”

    someone said

    As the saying goes, the hero’s sword that appeared was literally ordinary.

    The sharpness that is often seen in items called famous swords, which can be felt just by looking at it, was nowhere to be found, and even the material and construction quality only appeared to be an ordinary iron sword.

    In fact, even before the hero’s sword body was revealed, its appearance was unusual.

    There was nothing special about the handle, sheath, or anything else.

    However, no one expected that even Geomshin would be like this.

    “… But we still don’t know. Because it may just be the appearance.”

    Someone spoke, and others nodded silently.

    It was not a confident statement, but something closer to wishful thinking.

    This was because I did not want to believe that the sword I had arrived here after spending a considerable amount of time and going through quite a bit of hardship was fake.

    Fortunately, the moment to solve their questions came quickly.

    “It will work if you test it.”

    The silver knight said that and took a step forward.

    The silver knight who came forward reached out his hand toward the warrior’s sword held by Baran in a natural movement.

    Baran did not resist and handed over the sword to the Silver Knight.

    “According to legend, the warrior’s sword can contain all magical power without losing a single point.”

    One of the many legends of the warrior’s sword.

    It is a legend that no loss of magic power, which is inevitable no matter how excellent the material is, does not occur at all.

    The Silver Knight simply tried to determine the authenticity of the sword by infusing it with magical power.

    Soon, magical power surged from the silver knight’s body.

    Although he didn’t use all his might and only did it lightly, the magic power so strong that the warriors around him felt cold inadvertently was sucked into the sword in his hand.

    and… … .

    Wiggle.

    The silver knight’s eyebrows furrowed.

    “Why are you doing that?”

    Baran looked at his expression and asked with a puzzled look.

    However, the silver knight’s expression never seemed to improve.

    “… Efficiency is a mess.”

    As the words finally came out of his mouth, Baran’s expression became dumbfounded.

    Not only that, the surroundings started to become agitated.

    “Yes? Is it true?”

    “… Yes.”

    “That can’t be possible… … .”

    Baran’s face hardened.

    “What is it? So you’re saying it’s fake?”

    “You came here after all that hard work?”

    The commotion around began to gradually grow, and eventually it reached a level that could be described as a commotion.

    In such a commotion.

    “… Let me check it out.”

    Baran, who still had a stern expression, accepted the sword from the silver knight.

    It was that moment.

    Suddenly, the surroundings became dark.

    “Hmm?”

    “The sky… … .”

    Everyone standing on the altar lifted their heads and looked up at the sky.

    And then I realized. Night has come.

    “Is it already night? It seems like quite a bit of time has passed.”

    “Even though we have reached the end of the tomb, it seems there is still night.”

    People did not react very strongly to that sudden phenomenon.

    It was because I got used to it. As night comes here.

    From entering this tomb to reaching this place. Because I spent quite a long time here.

    Therefore, they reacted indifferently.

    Unlike before, the night came quite suddenly, so there were some people who were a bit surprised, but most people didn’t pay much attention.

    However, the sudden incident did not end there.

    Ugh─

    A crying sound was heard.

    A low, strange and disturbing cry that stimulates human instincts.

    “Hmm? What is it?”

    “Has a monster appeared?”

    Only then did people turn their eyes here and there and try to find the source of the crying.

    “Oh, I see that one?”

    A man stretched out his finger and pointed somewhere.

    A spot in the field, located a little away from the altar.

    There.

    “What is it, shadow?”

    There was something that looked like a flaccid shadow standing there.

    “What is that?”

    Looking at the shadow, people reacted curiously.

    This was because the shape of the shadow was quite unusual.

    It looks similar to a human in that it walks on two legs, but that doesn’t mean it has fur-like fur like an animal, and its fingernails and toenails are strangely long.

    Moreover, its unique appearance shimmered like a shadow, so it could not help but be said to be unique.

    To put it simply, it had an ominous and unpleasant appearance.

    However, the people here had seen enough monsters and demons in their lives to get sick of them, and there was no one who would frown and step back at such an ominous appearance.

    On the contrary, there was even one person who stepped forward and drew his weapon.

    “I don’t know what it is, but… I’ll take care of that guy.”

    There was no sign of anxiety about facing an unknown monster on his face.

    Considering the average skills of those gathered here, it was only natural.

    Because each one was at a level where I could carry my neck with strength wherever I went.

    “For no reason, a strange guy appears and bothers me─”

    The man frowned slightly as if he was annoyed and approached the monster.

    Sigh!

    The next moment, it was torn to pieces.

    “… … !”

    “What… ?!”

    The people who were watching the scene opened their eyes wide and were shocked.

    Because they couldn’t really see what was happening.

    Inferring cause and effect itself is simple.

    The monster attacked, and the warrior died.

    However, the problem was that I did not see the process properly.

    Before the shock could fully reach their minds, the warriors who were close to the monster immediately drew their weapons.

    However, fortunately the monster did not move.

    He just stood there quietly, looking at people with empty eyes, not knowing what he was thinking.

    “What the hell is this guy… … .”

    In that strange confrontation, the drones looked at the monster while heightening the tension.

    As they looked at the monster, their eyes finally landed on the body that had been reduced to pieces of flesh.

    And, they noticed one thing.

    The fact that the appearance of the corpse in such a pitiful state was somehow familiar.

    “That, perhaps… … ?”

    Someone secretly brought that sense of déjà vu out loud.

    The others around him did not say anything, but expressed their agreement by nodding their heads.

    After entering the tomb, the corpses we encountered on the way here.

    The state of that corpse and the state of the corpse in front of me were very similar.

    Because they were skilled dancers, they could recognize it right away and recognized it naturally.

    “… It looks like that guy did it.”

    The beast that created those corpses is that strange-looking monster.

    Those who realized that fact became even sharper.

    This was because we had once again confirmed that it was a monster that we should never let our guard down on.

    “I think it would be better to combine this.”

    Someone among the warriors suggested.

    “… That would be better.”

    “Then let’s count to three and run in.”

    The warriors, who were convinced that the opponent was a dangerous monster that could not be dealt with alone, agreed to a joint attack.

    Because they were not only talented but also experienced, the speed at which they reached an agreement to join forces was extremely fast.

    Several warriors drew their weapons and raised their magic power.

    Counting the numbers was the responsibility of the military officer who first proposed the joint effort.

    “One, two… … .”

    In a sharply forged atmosphere, the warrior counted the numbers.

    “Three!”

    As soon as the number three fell, the surrounding warriors immediately rushed towards the monster.

    The momentum seemed sharp and strong, as if it could cut to pieces the monster in front of it in an instant.

    however.

    Suddenly!

    “… Huh?”

    What was torn apart was not the monster, but the warriors who rushed towards the monster.

    Amidst the blood and flying debris that stained the surroundings, the others looked at the scene with their eyes wide open.

    Astonishment, astonishment was written on their faces.

    This level of warriors, not just one, but several of them, were struck in a single moment.

    So fast that you can’t even see it with your eyes.

    “Everyone step aside… !!”

    Before I could even comprehend the unrealistic scene, someone shouted.

    It was because I realized it.

    That the monster in front of them is something they cannot deal with on their own.

    The commotion quickly spread to the surrounding area, and eventually reached those standing at the center of the altar.

    To those surrounding the stone box, including the silver knight and blood flower.

    “… What a strange monster.”

    The silver knight, who had a depressed expression, took a step forward.

    “It went well. It’s already a bad car.”

    “Hmm… Then I’ll leave that to the silver knight.”

    The silver knight stepped forward and the blood flower did not stop him.

    Because there was no need or reason to do that.

    “I’ll finish it right away.”

    Speaking calmly, the silver knight was about to draw his sword.

    Sereung─

    Before he could pull out his sword, Baran pulled out the sword from his waist.

    “Hmm? You don’t have to step forward. I’ll take care of that guy.”

    Looking at Baran like that, the Silver Knight made a puzzled expression.

    “Hmm? … Ah, you seem to have misunderstood something.”

    In response to the silver knight, Baran smiled softly.

    Then he said:

    “That’s not what I’m aiming for.”

    “… … ? What is that─”

    Before the silver knight could react to those incomprehensible words.

    Sigh!

    Baran swung his sword and cut down the silver knight and blood flower.
