Holy sword (1)
[This is not a battle situation. Activate?]
Does this also pop up?
The system disappeared again when the Ego Sword was hurriedly removed. The ego sword seemed suspicious of my actions. The boy’s voice echoed in his mind.
[Why all of a sudden?]
“never mind.”
[Hmm. Looking at it, it seems that there is something to contend with.]
I say in a sinister tone that I may have misunderstood my attitude for something else. Looking at the ego sword’s happy and happy attitude, it seems that nothing has changed. If so, it means that the ego sword hasn’t become a ‘holy sword’ yet…
When I look at him carefully, the system comes to mind.
*Never get dull.
The information of the Ego Sword did not change compared to what he had seen before. If so, what stands out here is ‘???’. This must have something to do with the activation of ‘Master of the Holy Sword’.
‘If I activate the perks earlier, I think I’ll awaken with the Holy Sword…’
But why all of a sudden?
It was only natural to ask questions. The ego sword had already exhausted all of its power as a holy sword while purifying Liyu. I couldn’t figure out what had changed for me, which triggered the trigger that reawakened the ego sword into the holy sword.
Then something suddenly came to my mind.
‘···halo?’
The 40th bonus ‘Those who saw the light’ has a unique effect, ‘halo’.
Astiel’s reaction, the candidate for the saint, I don’t know exactly what kind of qualifications Halo has, but it must have met the conditions for awakening the holy sword.
This suddenly became a great weapon.
Since the holy sword has the opposite power against erosion, everything related to erosion can be tempered by the effect of the holy sword.
In other words.
…If I awaken with the Holy Sword and climb the tower, it means that I will be able to respond to the erosion currently encroaching on the tower.
‘It must be difficult right now.’
Even if you awaken the Holy Sword, it is only an awakening, and you will have to build up the divine power you have accumulated so far from the beginning. But that’s enough.
I also have specials.
Amplification of my stats with the ‘Master of the Holy Sword’ perk. Its power was enough to make it possible to fight against Arihan Hector alone for a while.
If a situation arises in which I will fight Drakhan, I will be able to survive on my own. It is enough to counter an attack using erosion if it raises spirits imbued with divine power.
Now what we have to decide is when to awaken the Holy Sword with the ego sword… The cooldown of the ‘Master of the Holy Sword’ perk is only 3 days, so it doesn’t matter when you do it.
‘···There must be an uproar.’
Because only aspiring heroes re-create the holy sword, a sacred relic that has disappeared. I must have rekindled the interest of the saint that I had in the past. Even if it’s tomorrow, the temple might be pounding right now.
However, considering the future situation, it would be foolish not to awaken the ego sword with the holy sword right now.
[what?]
“What if I go back to the holy sword again?”
[···It is absurd. Is there anything different?]
“Hmm. It will be.”
Even if the ego sword turns into a holy sword, his job does not change.
‘It’s the same with me.’
Concentrating on his body, he raised all the divine power that exposed the floor. And I used [Purification] to activate the perk again.
He caught the ego sword, feeling the faint halo that flowed through himself.
“I have a request, can you please?”
“Please don’t shout.”
After saying that, I nodded.
“Sit down, I will live.”
It was Noah Park who entered the cafe and placed an order at the counter. Of course she was, but she had no choice but to draw attention when she showed her handcuffs full of ahart in the process of ordering.
“With this, um. please give me this.”
I just pointed out anything I could see. When I returned from ordering, Ahat, who was already seated in the corner, said.
“I’m sorry. I have to buy it.”
“it’s okay. There are things that I have been blessed with in the past.”
Rather, I’m just grateful that I sat down here on my own so that I wouldn’t be noticed by other people. Noah Park dragged the chair opposite her Ah Hart and sat down.
‘?’
But for some reason, there were eyes staring at him. Park Noah soon realized the reason without having to elevate her senses.
Ahat had her handcuffed wrists laid flat on the table. The eyes of those who discovered it are drawn to it. Naturally, I had to frown.
‘What do you think?’
Even after running away, you still have this attitude. Park Noah said, reaching out her hand and covering her handcuffs.
“Oh, Mr. others are watching Putting it down…”
“ah. It was on purpose.”
“yes? why···.”
Noah Park had no choice but to ask the question because the answer that came back was unexpected.
“If this is the case, who is going to report it? Then you won’t come here to catch me.”
I still don’t know what that means. Ahart saw Noah Park and kindly began to explain the contents before and after.
“How many do you think I must have killed when I got here?”
Noah Park did not answer the question and remained silent. Ahart looked at Noah Park carefully and smiled.
“No one was killed.”
It was an unexpected word. However, as he listened to Ah Hart’s sequel, it seems that he had no intention of doing that either.
“Does it make sense? That the wizard, the owner of the house, escaped, and there was no bloodshed.”
“…do you mean that you sent it on purpose?”
“I will. You are probably thinking that the situation you are facing right now is also a target for ‘someone’.”
“Ummm, …it would be impossible to manipulate the situation like that.”
“Well. I think you are aware of its existence.”
Ahat paused for a moment before opening his mouth.
“The personality of the ‘prophecy’. It is enough for the one who has it to use its power.”
Just in time, the vibrating bell rang. Park Noah got up immediately and brought a drink.
“Thank you.”
Ahat shook his head and continued the interrupted story.
“The personality of prophecy. It’s an extension of that story, but there’s something I’ve learned about the gates since you guys went outside.”
“If that’s the case, you already know it even if you don’t tell me.”
Park Noah knew about it after hearing an explanation recently.
It was the act of T.O.P himself that made the gate appear in the safe zone. As long as he understood the justification of the act, there was no reason to be surprised now. Also, there was no reason to agree with Ahat’s words.
But what Ahat said was unexpectedly different.
“Did you know that the Tower already knew the location of the Corrupted Hero?”
“Looking at that answer, I must have misunderstood something else. ···Well.”
Ahat reflexively folded her arms and tried to speak, then realized the presence of the handcuffs and raised her arms again on the table.
“It was only speculation, but I was convinced when I heard that you met Drakhan over that gate. Isn’t it strange even if you think about it? The fact is that when the gate was opened in the safe zone, it was connected to the place where Drakhan was inside the gate.”
“Ahat-sama, do you mean to say that it was all fabricated and calculated?”
“okay. And I think the only thing that makes this possible is the personality of prophecy.”
“…for what?”
Ahat was so confident in his words, it wouldn’t be nonsense. But everything needs a reason.
Park Noah could not guess his intentions with his brief insight.
Ahat did not answer and looked at Noah Park without saying a word. I knew what that meant.
“…is it because of me?”
“okay. The people I had contact with, Miss Aiden, Seo Ji-han, and Arwell, were ‘untitled’ and had nothing in common with Drakhan. But you are not. Well, I don’t know why I let you get acquainted with me.”
Noah Park wrapped the mug in front of her. I don’t know why he got acquainted. He hates to admit it, but she seemed to know herself.
‘Growth direction as an untitled.’
The short training she received from Drakhan had a great influence on Noah Park. It was a lesson and growth that I could only give because I was an untitled fellow, not anyone else.
‘What if I manipulated the situation for my own growth…?’
As many ominous speculations began to surface, Noah Park took a sip of a warm drink to calm her heart. And she turned the subject and asked Ah Hart.
“Why is Ahat-sama helping me?”
Those words had many meanings.
Considering Ahat’s usual course of action, there was no reason for Ahat to go this far. I just had to sit quietly while watching the situation get worse, and it was like ‘Ron Ahart’.
I thought I was going to think about an answer, but contrary to my expectations, Ahart immediately opened her mouth to the question.
“Do you need a reason to do what you want to do?”
“Whoa, more than that.”
Ahat sighed and looked towards the window.
“Fortunately, he is coming. Well, I don’t know if this is a fabricated situation after all.”
Park Noah also followed Ahart and looked away. I could see wizards in black robes rushing towards me in my sight. Ahat slowly got up.
“It can cause trouble to the store, so it would be right to go out on your own. Then, finally, Miss Park Noah.”
“…Yes, Ahat-sama.”
“I’ve heard a lot about you as a head of state.”
Of course.
There was no way the head of the house, Ron Ahart, could not hear about her, the child of the tower.
“If I could just add one last word.”
Ahat tapped Noah Park’s chin.
“Do whatever you want. Don’t be swayed by other people’s thoughts.”
Ahat left those words and moved out of the cafe.
Noah Park watched through the window until the end as Ahat was captured and dragged to somewhere by the wizards. Then she repeated Ahart’s last words.
‘···Do whatever you want.’
It was clear that he had been doing it that way ever since, and until now.
maybe.
As the sun rose, armed knights were seen walking into the meteor academy. Not an ordinary article. The pure white armor and brilliance they wore gave off the presence of a paladin.
“It’s still here.”
At the forefront of that was ‘Arthur Gran’.
For some reason, he was carrying a long sword in a pure white scabbard rather than a weapon he normally used.
“You are here.”
At the same time, the officials of the Yoosung Academy welcomed them in time. Since I had already been informed that I would visit, I was able to respond to the visit even though it was close to a surprise visit.
“I’m really sorry for the sudden arrival.”
Arthur Grann bowed his head and apologized to the person concerned. The official waved his hand in bewilderment at the attitude of the paladin commander.
“no. I mean, it’s such an emergency. What made you visit? Did you come to see the headmaster, or did you come for the Scout…”
Arthur raised his head and said quietly.
“Will we ever see an aspiring hero?”
