“The Advent of the Hero, since the Demon King blessed by the Demon God has appeared, the Goddess will also be preparing to create a hero.”

Eugene Schneider put Margaret to sleep and came out again to stand guard.

Then, Elven Priscilla was there for guard duty shift, and Charlotte, who had been going around delivering warm water to the guards, was also there.

The three of them started talking, and Eugene told Priscilla the story he had heard from Drake.

As a result, Priscilla nodded slowly and began to bring out her deep knowledge as an elf.

“Bishop Sister, what form of hero’s advent is the Order of the Radiant Goddess currently using as a standard?”

Then, he shot the first question arrow at Charlotte, who had been listening silently.

“Um… well, the Goddess appears in a dream to those chosen as heroes, gives them revelations, makes them undergo seven trials to give them enlightenment, bestows the Holy Sword, and anoints them as heroes.”

At Priscilla’s question, Charlotte straightened her back reverently and recited the Radiant Goddess Order’s narrative of the hero’s advent that she knew.

The Radiant Goddess Order has scriptures, and those scriptures contain about ten legends of the hero’s advent.

And the method of that advent has slight differences, but the core content does not deviate significantly from the narrative that Charlotte speaks of.

“That’s a lie. It’s a false narrative created to strengthen the Order’s power.”

It was content that Charlotte had been testifying to with overflowing faith.

However, the elf Priscilla decisively judged it to be a lie without a hint of hesitation.

“D, do not commit blasphemy, Elf-nim!!!”

It was not only a decisive remark but also a thoughtless one from Priscilla, so even the usually benevolent and kind Bishop Sister Charlotte became enraged.

In fact, the current reaction is relatively refined because the other party is an elf who receives special treatment even from the Holy See.

“Ah, sorry. I’m trying to fix this way of speaking, but it’s not as easy as I thought.”

Priscilla was also refining her attitude.

However, after being taken by Eugene, she became concerned about harmonizing with his other women,

She was not only talking about it but actually making an effort.

Priscilla, the most perceptive being among Eugene’s harem women, has grasped the fact that Eugene even slept with his older sister.

“Ummm… if you apologize so quickly, I feel awkward for getting angry…”

It was truly an amazing thing.

An elf apologizing first, so Charlotte, who had been angry, couldn’t hide her embarrassment.

“As I said before, the Radiant Goddess Order officially doesn’t recognize the Demon King who is made by the grace of the Demon God. So, they told the story of a hero being made in a more proactive way, but a realistic hero’s advent mechanism is written in the ancient books of the elves.”

After that, Priscilla very coolly began to explain the hero advent system she knew.

“When a Demon King blessed by the Demon God descends, the Goddess primarily creates a Holy Sword in the place where her Holy Spirit has touched. It remains stuck in that land.”

“If it is a place where the Holy Spirit has touched?”

“You should see it as a sacred place of the Radiant Goddess Order. You should see it as almost the first sacred place, excluding those that were created separately in later generations.”

“Even if it’s early, the number of cases becomes too many…”

“According to the ancient books of the elves, the order is determined. So, if you look through the ancient records that the Radiant Goddess Society has designated as apocryphal, you will be able to piece together the puzzle.”

“Ah…!”

There are a considerable number of Radiant Goddess Society’s sacred sites on the continent.

However, most of them were created for political purposes after the Empire’s unification of the world.

Excluding those, the sacred sites of the original Radiant Goddess Order, the Holy Sword is created sequentially in those places.

“When the Holy Sword descends to earth in that way, the Goddess then links to the vessel of the hero, or the vessels. Sometimes she appears directly, and sometimes she appears in the form of a revelation. Then, those so-called hero candidates try to draw the Holy Sword.”

“Oooooh! That’s quite a plausible story, Priscilla!”

“Well, this much… Heh heh…!”

Priscilla’s encyclopedia play didn’t seem to end. However, Eugene’s reaction was satisfying because the content itself was truly plausible, and Priscilla, who was serious about boasting her knowledge as an elf, was elated.

“Does it get drawn if you just go and pull it out?”

“There are cases like that, or there are cases where they are induced to become stronger through trials and then get drawn. The latter case was borrowed and the current hero story of the Radiant Goddess Order has taken root.”

“Oh… so that’s how it’s connected…”

Eugene Schneider, who was very interested, asked more specific questions while pretending to draw a sword, and

Priscilla glanced at Charlotte and then answered.

Then, Charlotte nodded as if she had become absorbed in the story.

“If the story of that ancient book is true, then the Holy Sword would have descended somewhere in the early sacred site by now.”

“That’s right. If there was a Saintess, she would have announced it to the people. Because the Saintess would feel it.”

Now, it was about two days after the Demon King blessed by the Demon God was created,

Even if he took it generously, Eugene Schneider judged that the Goddess’s movement would have started by now.

“If there was a Saintess…”

At Priscilla’s words that the Saintess would have known about the Holy Sword’s advent, Priscilla made a slightly subtle expression.

It was a pity. If she was a Saintess, she felt that she would have been much more helpful to the people around her in the current situation.

“You don’t have to make such an expression, Bishop Sister. Still, if the Goddess’s revelation begins or a hero is born, you will be able to feel that fact. In other words, if you have no reaction at all now, it means that a hero has not yet been born. Then, before that, you should refer to the foreign books and find the place where the Holy Sword has appeared and settle down.”

Tsundere Priscilla brilliantly recognized Charlotte’s heart and took care of her in her own way.

The purpose of the current conversation is not just a simple history lesson,

It can be said that it is to think about the best countermeasures that can be taken right now.

In other words, because it is very important to Eugene Schneider’s side what kind of human becomes a hero,

They intend to take preemptive action through Charlotte, who can sense the Goddess’s movements to some extent.

“Aha! Such a response is possible! Big Sister, have you felt anything different yesterday or today?”

“Um… I don’t think there was anything different from usual while offering prayers to the Goddess separately…”

“Then it seems that the revelation has not been made. I think we should find out where the Holy Sword descended, as Priscilla said.”

Eugene Schneider, who judged that it was reasonable enough, immediately checked with his beloved big sister Charlotte.

Although it is outdoors and moving, Charlotte always prays when she gets up and before going to bed,

So far, there are no signs of the Goddess’s revelation and the hero’s advent.

But

“!!!!!!!!!”

Suddenly, Charlotte’s eyes widened.

Not only that

Pssssssssssssssssss…!!!!!!!!

Golden divine power flashed in her wide eyes.

“Holy Sword [聖劍], it is truly dazzling.”

Antoine looked at the Goddess’s Holy Sword that descended on the Sky Altar with admiring eyes.

Antoine, who had been planning and implementing the current project for a long time, of course knew the story of the hero’s advent that had been rejected by the Holy See, which the elf Priscilla had told.

So, he secretly contacted the so-called apocryphal books and figured out where the Holy Swords of the past heroes had descended, respectively.

The place calculated as the summoning place this time was this Paramis Sky Altar,

As expected, the Holy Sword had descended there.

“If I draw that Holy Sword and become a hero, I can kill the Demon King who descended with the blessing of the Demon God and fulfill my will.”

Brilliant light, that light is right in front of me. About four steps ahead.

The purpose of killing his benefactor Alexis, killing his friend Ulysses, and even causing a coup to complete it, has almost reached the point where it can be grasped.

“But even if I try to draw that Holy Sword now, it won’t budge at all. No, on the contrary, I might incur the wrath of the Goddess and suffer a great internal injury.”

But that’s it.

The Holy Sword can only be challenged and drawn when the person chosen as a hero by the Goddess has been sufficiently trained.

If someone who has not received a revelation rashly grabs the Holy Sword stuck in the ground, they may live as a disabled person for the rest of their lives.

Antoine has not received a revelation, and he does not consider himself to be an existence that will receive a revelation.

“But Goddess… I must draw this sword. I must summon you and fulfill my wish…”

Swish…!

Antoine looked up at the moonlit night sky.

Perhaps because of the overflowing demonic energy, the moonlight seemed to be mixed with something bluish and purplish,

But the madness was even more felt in Antoine’s eyes looking at the moon.

He will draw the Holy Sword even though he is not a chosen one.

“Perhaps does the Goddess remember a man named Judah?”

Swish…!

Antoine mentioned Judah while holding the pendant around his neck.

“Judah, the hero who was abandoned by you because he had evil in his heart.”

Judah is a fallen hero not even recorded in the foreign books, a hero abandoned by the Goddess.

Also called the cursed hero,

He drew the Holy Sword and became a hero, but he was corrupted and deprived of his hero qualification and disappeared.

“Judah’s family has been constantly trying to reach you again. Burning with revenge. And I got my hands on the result.”

Those who reached the highest position and fell into hell cannot escape from the shadow of that light,

Judah burned with obsession and revenge towards the Goddess.

It was passed down to his descendants and pursued as a path of heresy for hundreds, no, thousands of years.

Antoine, who was looking for a way to take the Holy Sword in his younger days, finally got in touch with them.

“This is it, Ea.”

Pssssssssssssssssss…!!!!!

Antoine, who was fiddling with the pendant, summoned his sword, Ea, with his other hand.

“Let me introduce the sword name of Ea, which Judah’s family made.”

ㅡCheoeoeoeok!!

Antoine pointed at the Goddess’s Holy Sword through the summoned Ea.

“Ea, the sword that steals.”

Antoine will contaminate and steal the Goddess’s Holy Sword, which can only be possessed by the holy one.

Gulp! Gulp! Gulp!

Antoine drinking the contents inside the pendant,

ㅡFlash!!!!

His eyes flashed golden like a Saintess and a hero.

Saaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa…!!!

At the same time, golden sword light was manifested in Ea, the sword that steals.

[Ea, let’s devour the Holy Sword of the holy Goddess.]

After that, with Antoine’s order that fell

ㅡKieeeeeeeeeeeet!!!!!

The end of Ea’s sword turned into a bizarre golden monster.

ㅡPaaaaaaaaaaat!!!!

Then Ea flew to the Goddess’s Holy Sword

ㅡTeoeoeoeoeoeop!!!

It swallowed the holy thing as it was.
