“Are you satisfied with your disciple’s affairs?”

“Yes, you were forced to do it, but you seemed to enjoy it from the middle, so I was very satisfied. Next time, not in human form, but with a sword… !”

“Is it possible to make a contract with the devil and come back?”

“I can’t help it. I don’t want to see rumors spread that my student has made a pact with the devil, so I won’t interfere any further.”

In the early morning, he approached his teacher, who had been watching it until the end without even sleeping, and sarcastically said:

If it had been anyone else, I would have just bitten my tongue and died, so it would be okay to express a little dissatisfaction.

The teacher seemed to understand my difficulties and tolerated my sarcastic tone.

Then he offered me a cup of warm green tea.

Even though I didn’t deserve it, I couldn’t help but accept what was given in good faith.

“So, is there anything else you want to say?”

“I’m looking for the goblin bat that my teacher took away.”

“Bat? I don’t know.”

“Don’t act like a fool. According to the goblins, the person who is presumed to be the teacher… No, I actually said that the confirmed person took it?”

“You bastard, do you think that I, who have devoted my entire life to the sword, would use a weapon like a bat?”

“… … I was mistaken. It’s a goblin sword.”

“As for the goblin sword, he is living comfortably in the capital.”

Who wouldn’t say he was a serious swordsman? Even the weapon everyone thought was a bat was insisting it was a sword.

However, once the teacher has decided on a matter, he does not give up his mind even if it means breaking his mouth.

He had an eccentric personality and was extremely powerful, so it was easy for him to please the person in question.

“So, why are you looking for the goblin sword?”

“I want to ask you something.”

“Please tell me your questions and receive an answer.”

“Unfortunately, this has nothing to do with the teacher, so I plan to talk directly with the person concerned.”

“Hmm… . You’re not planning on taking my sword, are you?”

“My five organs and six parts will be distorted and my limbs will be torn to pieces. Would I be crazy enough to do something like that?”

“I understand it well. Anyone who tries to steal something from others, whether it is a sword or a human being, will be destroyed… !”

Although he was a parasexual person who was crazy about swords, he was a true lover who never threw away a sword once he had picked it up.

So, even though he was the owner and was kicked out of the house like now, he was trying to please the sword.

I felt sad, but at the same time, I thought it was amazing.

I wonder if you have to be that crazy about swords to reach that level.

“Anyway, are you asking me to make a position for the goblin swordsman?”

“If you say so, I would be perfectly happy.”

“Hmm, I’m really curious about what you two will talk about.”

“Even if you hear it, there is nothing good about it.”

Considering Alaina’s disappointed reaction to Polymorph, it appears that the goblin bat did not reveal to its teacher that it can turn into a human.

It is possible that he revealed the truth and that his teacher accepted it, but it was not certain.

It would be a pain if I made a mistake and incurred the hatred of the goblin bat, so it was better to keep silent for now.

“Okay, as soon as I get back home, I will convey your intention to the goblin sword. Do you have anything else to do?”

“One more thing. This is what I want to ask Master.”

“What is it?”

“I want to ask you something about Hibana.”

“If you are talking about Yodo and Empress Hibana, I cannot say anything.”

“Why?”

“Because I made a contract with her. We have placed a condition on each other not to reveal information about the other to anyone, and you, our disciple, are no exception.”

“I guess I should give up.”

Hibana drew the world’s sword emperor to her side and even hid her own information.

Whether it was past or present, the fact that he is thorough in everything has not changed.

For what reason did they dominate the Eastern countries?

Why did you try to take Maxwell to the East?

What is Hibana’s ultimate goal?

It seems that the only way to resolve all these questions is to confront the parties involved.

“Ugh.”

“Don’t sigh, I’m losing energy for no reason.”

“I passed one hurdle, but there are still many hurdles to overcome, so please just skip it.”

“A guy who still has a bright future ahead of him is complaining and sighing like an old man, but I can’t just get over it.”

“You are strict.”

“The bed may be very uncomfortable, but take that into consideration and go to sleep quickly. Don’t forget to check your physical condition first thing after waking up.”

“Yes?”

The teacher suddenly leaves, leaving a message to check your physical condition after waking up.

Since the sword and the body were mixed, one would normally be concerned about iron poison, but the possibility of that happening was limited to the teacher.

It was impossible for me, who had become the sword itself through the union of the new swords, to be struck by iron poison.

The teacher, who knew that fact better than anyone else, could not have been worried about Soedok.

“What on earth… … .”

The advice of the teacher who disappeared, melting into a shadow that the moonlight could not reach, was simply ironic.

***

“It doesn’t seem like anything has changed… … .”

After spending the night in the wilderness.

As soon as he opened his eyes, Lian remembered the advice his teacher had left him.

I checked my physical condition by repeatedly clenching and opening my hands, but there was no particular difference.

Afterwards, Rian felt various parts of her body and looked in the mirror several times, but could not find anything that had changed.

‘You didn’t leave such meaningful words because you were really worried about Iron Dog, right?”

Although Lian tried his best to figure out his teacher’s intention, he was unable to figure it out until the end.

Rian gives up completely and looks to the side.

Next to him lay a sword that shined brightly even in broad daylight.

“… … I pushed myself too hard last night, so I’ll let you sleep well.”

For swords, the concept of sleep does not exist.

However, if the sword’s abilities were overused, it would often enter a dormant state.

It becomes quiet as if it is sleeping and the sword’s abilities cannot be used.

‘That’s why they say that people who rely on the sword usually have short lives.’

In any case, Alaina went into a dormant state because she excessively released holy water containing divine power during her actions.

Judging that it was quiet for a while, Lian hung Alaina on his belt.

Since you are in a temporary state of unconsciousness, you will regain consciousness on your own if you wait.

Before that, Ryan decided to move.

‘As a result, the Sen family was destroyed, so the goal has been achieved.’

Lian stepped through a gap in the tent where sunlight was slowly leaking through.

I pulled the tent’s entrance to the side and tried to get out.

The moment I touched the fabric with the back of my hand, the tent fabric was cut as soon as I touched it.

A mistake that often happens when Rian, who has reached the level of divine sword unity, fails to control his strength.

He didn’t think it was a big deal and came out.

Without even realizing that the cut-off sections of the tent were burning little by little.

“The weather is amazing.”

My body was stiff from sleeping on the hard ground.

Lian stretched out and did some light stretching to warm up her body.

When he was about to pack up his luggage and start his journey again, he saw countless horsemen coming in his direction.

The flag held by the horsemen had the symbol of the Hui family emblazoned on it.

People from the Hwi family came early in the morning, as if the news that the Sen family had collapsed had already spread.

Lian waved his arm wide as if he was heading this way.

Then the horse in the middle row and the woman with gray hair ran as fast as they could and overtook the leader.

“Owner!”

“Good morning. I guess you finished the job well as I asked?”

“Of course! Stella, I can handle something like this!”

“Thank you.”

Stella looks proud as she raises her thumb.

Stella, who had been staring at Lian intently for a moment, suddenly tilted her head.

It was as if he didn’t understand something.

“Umm?”

“What’s wrong?”

“I thought the owner was originally a person with a shining halo.”

“You see a halo from me?”

“Yes! Very dazzling”

It was only then that Lian began to feel a sense of discomfort at Stella’s honest and frank sentiments.

He suddenly sat down in his seat, crossed his legs, and began to meditate.

There was no significant difference in appearance.

However, Rian, who did not inspect the inside, slowly checked his own power supply.

It wasn’t long before he realized his surprise in the middle game.

‘Warm and white light enough to melt the ice… … .’

A new white light appeared before the mid-term, which was almost empty except for mana and energy.

Before I could understand the reality, a sound coming from outside gave me the correct answer.

“I feel like I’m looking at a holy sword!”

“No way… !”

Lian manifested sword energy on his right arm.

In addition, it brings out the light that was present before and appears at the same time.

Then, a pure white energy permeated the colorless sword.

There was only one power in the world that felt sacred just by looking at it.

“It’s divine power, right?!”
