Lucius placed his hand on his chin and closed his eyes for a moment, as if thinking.

“…”

The unknown man shrugged his shoulders slightly and waited for the answer to come back.

Seriously, even though he is my disciple, his acting is so natural that it’s scary to see him lie.

Brrrr- My body trembled.

… At this point, I might have a lie too?

As he thought about the anonymous man’s usual behavior, Lucius opened his mouth and opened his furrowed brow, as if he had finished his thoughts.

“… Okay, then I guess I just need to find that scabbard? ”

At Lucius’ strangely stiff voice, Myeong-un smiled faintly.

“Yes.”

“Then… as we said, we will search from the west.”

Lucius nodded slightly and was about to turn around and take his foot off.

“Lucius.”

An anonymous voice grabbed their ankles.

Lucius turned again to face the nameless man, who was still smiling brightly.

“Didn’t you say that Lord Lucius also had something to see in the Demon Realm?”

“… Yes.”

“By any chance, could you tell us what it is?”

“Me?”

Suddenly called by an anonymous person, I tilted my head.

Why am I calling?

I’ve been seriously contemplating my anonymous behavior, so I’ve missed the story so far.

Even now, to grasp the context, I glance at Lucius. He seems nervous. A small drop of sweat is running down Lucius’ forehead.

“…”

Without answering, Myeong-i smiled kindly at Lucius, who opened his eyes narrowly, and said to him what I had once said to Myeong-i.

“Everyone who receives a favor must repay it. Can’t I help you too?”

“Hmm, right.”

I nodded because it was roughly correct.

Lucius, who had been moving his pupils back and forth toward me and the nameless person, nodded his head slightly.

“The above said that there are still parts that have not been purified.”

There was a slight tremor in his voice, it was a lie.

However, I still couldn’t figure out whether the first statement was a lie or the second statement was a lie.

“I came to the Demon Realm to finish him off.”

Lucius said so and looked at the nameless man with a calm look in his eyes.

As I was rummaging through my pockets in an exciting atmosphere for some reason, Moo-myeong opened his mouth with a smile still on his face.

“Is that so? We will look into it carefully.”

“… Thank you.”

Lucius bowed once and turned his back, and I and Myeong-un looked at him for a while.

… So what’s going on?

As I tilted my head with a questioning expression, Moo-myeong placed both hands on my shoulders and slowly began to apply strength.

“Master, let’s leave quickly.”

“Hmm, okay.”

Without any resistance, I just went along, pushed by the force that was being passed on to me.

I didn’t bother to ask the anonymous person what he had discussed with Lucius.

Well, if it was information I needed to know, wouldn’t that guy have spoken up first?

So, it’s not that it’s annoying, it’s that he trusts his disciples to that extent.

Hmm, right.

I nodded my head.

…

Up until now, I have been forcibly suppressing the circulation of my internal energy and hiding my power.

There is no need for that anymore.

“Hup-”

When the distance between us and the group of warriors had grown to some extent and their presence had become faint, I began to raise my internal energy from my danjeon.

Of course, I didn’t encounter any enemies that would require me to raise my internal energy, but rather to track down the scabbard.

At least you can find it before they do, so you can either hide the scabbard or run away with it.

And, there was a certain confidence in doing these actions.

At the end of the ordeal, a method to find the scabbard has also been prepared.

The sword used by the anonymous person shows faint but shallow marks.

I don’t know why I feel this way, but… it’s the energy of the mountain range where I stayed when I was staying in the cabin, which is the basis of the internal energy that I and Myeong use.

If I were to make a guess, I would say that the reason might be related to the fact that the place I was staying at was also a demonic realm, according to what Anmyeong said.

I got carried away for a moment, but to continue.

The scabbard we are looking for now is also the one introduced by Lily, just like the Nameless Sword, so it must have a similar flow of energy to the Nameless Sword.

So didn’t Lily tell us that if we saw the scabbard, we would know right away?

The corners of the mouth went up.

No matter how good the saint is at tracking down spirits, judging by the fact that she couldn’t even find the jackal’s magic circle.

Obviously, he is inferior to me.

On the other hand, I am more adept at tracking energy than she is, and I have felt it my entire life.

In short, there was no possibility that I would discover it later than them.

Something began to bloom again in the purified magic realm.

Despite my sudden action of raising my internal energy, Myeong-un waited silently as if he knew what I would do.

I smiled at that nameless figure and spread my inner energy like a spider web, pulling out a thin thread.

Now, if you keep stretching this endlessly until you find something you can get hold of, you’ll find it.

“…”

I close my eyes for a moment and concentrate on controlling my internal energy.

Eventually, something started to click.

“Did you find it?”

A smile formed.

“It’s about 340 ri to the northeast, I’ll speed up, Anonymous.”

“Yes, Master.”

He kicked the ground roughly.

It seems that the work of cultivating and expanding the bloodline of the nameless one was not in vain. Although the nameless one looked somewhat tired, he did not fall behind.

Even though I slowed down a little bit to be considerate of the unknown, this is clearly growth.

The corners of my mouth went up in surprise.

“Anonymous! Can we go a little faster?!”

“Master?!”

There are no demons here that could pose a threat, and we are already halfway to our destination, so there shouldn’t be a problem.

“Catch it!”

“… I feel a bit uneasy.”

Have I ever been like this?

I tilted my head slightly, but there was still nothing.

I’m saying this because I want to tease you a little bit about your unknown nature, but I’ve never been a teacher who was this reckless.

“Stop talking nonsense and just chase after me!”

“… Yes!”

He greedily sucked up the scattered internal energy and focused all of his swollen internal energy on stiffening his body, increasing his speed.

It feels really good to have a refreshing breeze blowing across my face.

A refreshing smile appeared.

After all, I think a place with this kind of atmosphere and this kind of energy flows suits my constitution.

-bang!

The sound of the ground being kicked vibrated in a regular flow.

…

“Hmm, did I come to the wrong place…?”

He scratched his head and frowned.

He stared at the thing in front of him, thinking that he might be lost, or that he might be mistaken, but the possibility that it was a very small possibility still existed.

“Ugh… .”

The more I looked at it, the more I felt the energy flowing through it. I was only certain that this was ‘the thing I was looking for’, and no questions were answered.

Then, you may ask, isn’t this the right place to come? But there is something I would question.

“… This is not a scabbard.”

Strictly speaking, it looks like it could be used as a walking stick.

Of course, there could be a cane-shaped scabbard, didn’t the famous blind swordsman draw his sword from a simple cane?

However, this did not even seem likely.

That’s because there’s no home for this thing. That means there’s no room to store the sword.

“Um… .”

He let out a sigh of relief at the embarrassment.

If just a little more time passes, the nameless will surely come.

Wouldn’t it be embarrassing as a teacher to show yourself in front of such a strange staff that isn’t even a scabbard?

Just think about it, doing something with confidence and then it turning out to be wrong? There is nothing more ugly than that.

This is a mistake that only young children who have not yet fully established their own egos would make.

He put his hand on his forehead and let out a small sigh.

… Then what does this mean?

It is clearly the same energy I felt in the mountains, and it is in line with the energy inside my body.

Is my energy still reacting?

He squinted his eyes and glared at the cane.

It’s a walking stick that looks like it’s made of a dry branch with no visible features, but it’s strangely annoying that it looks quite sturdy for such a thing.

As I was staring at it like that for a while, an idea suddenly occurred to me.

Hmm, I guess I should take a closer look… .

This doesn’t seem to be the scabbard that Lily introduced, but it feels similar, so could it be a cool ‘transformation weapon’ or a sealed weapon?

Well… if not that, then it could just be a simple tree branch that has absorbed the energy of the demonic realm, ‘The End of the World’… .

The magic realm has already been purified, and it is impolite to even think of such boring thoughts.

“Hehehe… .”

A truly romantic thought made me smile like an idiot.

My saliva started to pool, and I swallowed it as it was about to flow down, then nodded my head.

Okay, okay. Let’s take a closer look.

He slowly reached out for his cane.
