Holy sword (2)
“Hey, fuck it…”
Seo Ji-han sat alone in the drawing room and wiped her face.
As I looked upwards, a holy sword was placed on the desk, emitting divine light subtly.
[Holy Sword – True Name ‘Yulard’]
Rank: S++
[Swords that have been symbolized by various symbols such as holy swords and magic swords, and have built up rituals for hundreds of years. Currently, it is the holy relic of ‘Gran’, ‘Holy Sword’.]
* Awakened by a qualified person. [Haegeum]
As originally expected, it succeeded in reawakening the ego sword into a ‘holy relic’. Nevertheless, Seo Ji-han was in a situation where he had no choice but to blame himself rather than rejoice.
‘···I am an asshole.’
When Seo Ji-han awakened the ego sword with the holy sword, the recoil caused by him caused a great commotion at the Yoosung Academy.
It was the absurd accident that a part of the dormitory wall collapsed. To be precise, some of the walls ‘melted’.
The moment the ego sword awakens into the holy sword, the ego sword begins to emit a tremendous amount of heat with a bright light. Then he melted the wall he was leaning against and fell outside the dormitory.
In that way, a single sword emitted so much heat that it melted all the asphalt floors on which he was stuck.
The wizards of the academy, who realized the situation late, tried to blow water and ice attribute magic to cool the heat, but they could not even reach the area and immediately evaporated or sublimated and disappeared.
However, if I left it like this, it would continue to melt underground, so I was able to use the magic of the earth attribute to tie it up until morning and then finally force it to cool.
Whether to be called a victim or an assailant, Seo Ji-han, who became the center of this case, was put in a form of confinement in the drawing room.
As soon as they heard the news that the ‘Holy Sword’ had been observed, the shrine had arrived in the morning to deal with this case.
Under the guidance of the manager, Arthur Gran and the Paladins followed. When I arrived in front of the room used as the drawing room of the main building, the manager said.
“The aspiring hero you are looking for is here right now.”
“Oh, thank you. From here on, we will take care of it.”
The manager nodded and went back. And Arthur Gran said to his knights.
“Wait here. I will go in.”
“Yep. Commander.”
Arthur put the knights on standby and opened the door to the drawing room and entered. There was a face I hadn’t seen in a long time.
As the door opened, Seo Ji-han raised her head and met Arthur’s eyes. Arthur reflexively said with a bitter smile.
“It’s been a long time. An aspiring hero.”
“It’s nice to see you again. Sir Arthur Gran.”
Arthur shook hands with Seo Ji-han, who got up from his seat, and exchanged greetings. When I sat across from him, Seo Ji-han was also seated.
Arthur’s gaze naturally turned to the desk.
The ego sword re-awakened with the holy sword caught my eye. The light it possessed was weak, but this divine energy was clearly a holy sword.
“········ Aspiring hero. To be honest, I can’t even believe it. How did this happen…”
Arthur calmed his pounding heart and paused to ask a question. It was because he saw that a bandage was tied to Seo Ji-han’s left hand.
“what? Looks like you’re hurt. May I give you some cure? Although it is a paladin, it is possible to receive minor injuries.”
“No, thanks. This wound did not heal even with a potion…”
Seo Ji-han smiled bitterly as she recalled the memories of that time.
I foolishly thought that only a bright effect would appear and end, but the awakening as a holy relic did not end with a simple effect.
Seo Ji-han directly grabbed the ego sword, so the surface of his hand melted, and he was engulfed in a hot light. The reason he didn’t die was thanks to the reflex [Water Shield].
The amplification of the stats due to the privilege and the skilled [mana conversion] made it possible to block that power for a moment. Meanwhile, the holy sword melted the wall and fell outside the dormitory, saving her life.
‘after. At the end of the day, I almost threw out the ‘Hidden is still attached’ perk…’
Since it’s a 30-day cooldown, it was almost impossible to use it during the ‘Corrupted Hero’ quest once it was activated.
Anyway, the wall in Seo-Han’s room has now disappeared, allowing mosquitoes and hot wind to flow freely in the summer.
‘It was fortunate that I leaned against the window.’
If I had left it inside the room even a little, it would have melted the dormitory floor and kept falling downstairs.
“Is he currently conscious?”
“That’s it, there’s no answer even if you talk to me.”
Arthur looked at his weapon, the ego sword.
Currently, the ownership has been transferred to Seo Ji-han, so the link did not work, so we could not talk directly.
“Um, I’m sorry. I’m out of words. Could you please explain step by step what happened?”
“Hmmmm. Then I will tell you now.”
Seo Ji-han began to outline the accident, but Arthur’s ears didn’t get it right.
The ego sword was delivered to Seo Ji-han because of the intervention of a saint. It was for the reason of supporting the subjugation of the ‘fallen hero’, but it must have been the intention to make Seo Ji-han entwined with the temple.
The sword that now stands in place of the ego sword that left Arthur’s hand is not a bad weapon. It is a sword cooled by a blacksmith called a craftsman, heated with a hammer, and cooled with precious holy water.
‘If it was an ordinary ego sword, I don’t know, if it was awakened as a holy thing again, it’s not something an aspiring hero should have.’
It was also the right decision. It was dangerous to entrust the relics of the church to mere aspiring heroes.
…but it wasn’t pure.
It was because he had a desire to retrieve the holy sword that had been his weapon at any moment in that judgment.
‘I’ll have to retrieve it right away.’
Arthur made a decision. She wouldn’t even be able to insist on this part, even a saint .
“So, after emitting divine power like this…”
In the meantime, Seo Ji-han’s explanation continued, and eventually a divine power was awakened from his hand.
“When I grabbed the Ego Sword in this state, it seemed like I was suddenly re-awakened with the Holy Sword. The reason why I did that is well… Um, Sir Arthur Gran?”
At that moment, a great change occurred in Arthur Gran’s heart. Now looking at Seo Ji-han, for some reason, I began to feel awe.
“I, why are you like this?”
At Seo Ji-han’s question, Arthur felt a sense of guilt welling up from deep within. The judgment I had just made was mixed with greed, unable to distinguish between public and private.
“···sorry. An aspiring hero.”
Koo!!! Arthur bowed his head so violently that his head banged against his desk.
‘What, what? Fuck?’
Seo Ji-han had no choice but to put on a puzzled expression on his behavior.
As I talked, I lit up divine power on my bandaged hands. For reference, even though I used [Heal], the skill I learned this morning, the wound on my hand showed no sign of recovery.
‘Should this be called stigma?’
. It was a terrifying experience to clearly feel the melting sensation of the skin.
After being locked up in the drawing room, I even took a nap and activated the [folk remedies] privilege.
‘…the first [folk remedies] did not recover at all.’
It meant that it was such a serious injury. Fortunately, the bandages only made the sensation a little dull, and there were no sequelae such as oozing. Besides, he’s left-handed.
As I was talking, I suddenly realized that Arthur was losing his mind.
“Um, Sir Arthur Gran?”
But when Arthur was called, he suddenly banged his head on the desk. Koo! He bowed his head enough to shake the desk and apologized.
“sorry. An aspiring hero.”
…what are you sorry for? The reason was informed by the system that appeared in front of me.
[▶Fixed Event: ‘Arthur Gran’s Recognition’ disappears]
[▶ Arthur Gran acknowledged ‘those with holy swords’ except himself.]
I was at a loss for words when I saw it.
‘···This is an event that originally happened to Noah Park.’
When I handed it over to me with the Ego Sword, no system came to mind. Could it be that he changed into a holy sword this time and made the event conditions?
‘Then Arthur must have been thinking of recovering the holy sword from me.’
uhm. It’s absurd, but if you look at it, the conditions for the event are right. If you look at the current situation, someone you did not acknowledge is in possession of the Holy Sword.
But how did the butterfly effect appear?
‘Is it because of the ‘halo’?’
However, seeing that there is no other mention, it seems that I did not realize that I have such a halo. If you could see it, you would have said something about the halo.
‘Then it means that you can’t see the halo itself unless you’re an Astiel level ▶.’
Except for combat power, the divine power stat itself is probably higher than that of Arthur Grand as the next saint candidate. If so, she will be able to notice it only when she is about that great saint.
this is true Well done once you get the job done.
If you look at the attitude of an Arthur Grand-class paladin, it meant that most of the temple could follow me when I used my halo.
‘Third forces.’
The plan I had in mind to attack the tower came closer to reality.
After that, the conversation continued and the situation was communicated.
There must have been a lot of questionable parts of what I was telling Arthur, but Arthur nodded his head willingly.
“I had a rough idea of what happened before and after. First of all, I will report to the saint what I just heard. I may come back later.”
“Ah yes. All right.”
“And once this ‘Holy Sword’…”
I waited for Arthur’s back. Arthur looked at me and said.
“I think it is right for the aspiring hero to have it.”
“Uh. Wouldn’t that be too dangerous?”
That’s what I asked, but it’s a lie. I’m begging you, please don’t take it…!
Fortunately, Arthur gratefully shook his head to deny me.
“This is a holy sword that was awakened by the hand of a prolific aspiring hero. There must be a reason for that. Until the saint decides, I think she should keep it.”
Whoa. I’m glad.
“Then I will go. Heal your injuries well, and I hope there is good news for the quests that will be carried out later.”
“thank you. Sir Arthur Gran.”
I shook Arthur’s hand with an uninjured hand. As soon as he left the drawing room, he sighed and sat down.
‘Once I somehow managed to get past it.’
The awakening of the Holy Sword was also successful, and the power of the halo was confirmed, so now all that is left is the Imperial family… I don’t have much free time, so it’s best to do it right now.
I called Beatrice.
[-Oh. Ji-han aspiring hero?]
Rather than saying hello, there was a voice that seemed to be surprised. Beatrice must have heard what was going on, so it seems to mean how she called her. So let’s talk directly.
“I met ‘Drakan’.”
[-··········.]
He stopped breathing for a moment and then the phone hung up. I checked the screen turned off and put the smartphone in my arms.
I didn’t feel the need to call Beatrice again.
Gugugugung…!
It was because someone was approaching at high speed, and a huge vibration was coming from the hallway.
