Episode 232. I have demon blood flowing through my veins, but I am not a devil (2)
Crossed blades.
A clash of divine powers, filled with colorful flames and lightning.
A halo full of divinity floating above each other’s heads.
Even Adonis’s eyes turned into rabbit eyes because he was so surprised.
Everything came into view so clearly, as if time had stopped.
It’s so slippery!
In that moment, light burst out from the crossed holy swords.
I felt an enormous recoil from the holy sword I was holding. At the same time.
Wow!!
Their bodies were thrown backwards.
Support-!
Adonis, who had been pushed back, straightened his posture by putting strength into his feet.
And I.
“Kuuuck!”
“… … .”
… … I fell backwards with a bang. Even my legs were raised above my head.
It means Adonis is looking at my butt.
‘… … I really don’t feel like I’m in good shape.’
[0:00]
[You have achieved the condition.]
[Surviving for 5 minutes (success)]
A notification popped up saying that the third condition was met.
It met the most demanding conditions.
Huh? But isn’t it too reckless to cross swords with a 9-star knight?
That’s right.
‘This wasn’t the original plan.’
Originally, I was planning to kill time with conversation.
Logic, objective truth, knowing that Adonis is actually Douglas, and selling out Charon.
I was confident that I could pull it off for 5 minutes, or even 10 minutes.
After meeting the quest condition of 5 minutes.
‘Haha, in fact, I am also the owner of the Holy Sword. Now, look~ This is the proof that I am an ally~.’
‘What a beautiful light! As expected. A child as innocent as you could not possibly be a demon! I deeply apologize for my mistakes.’
‘Hahahahaha! Adonis!’
‘Hahahahaha! My precious Zero, let’s get along well from now on!’
Clear the sixth quest by drawing the Holy Sword and fulfilling the second condition, ‘prove that you are not an enemy’!
– It was a perfect plan, but Adonis reacted more violently than expected and they ended up crossing swords.
‘Well, it doesn’t matter. The result is the same.’
There are no injuries… … .
“Ugh… … .”
When I tried to get up, I felt a sharp pain in my arm.
ah.
It was only then that I realized that both my arms were broken.
Even the bones were protruding through the flesh.
He desperately held back his groans and hugged the holy sword stuck in the ground.
“Seo, open the holy sword.”
Hwaruk-!
Warm, five-colored flames enveloped my body. Soon, both arms returned to their original state.
One of the opening effects of the 9th Holy Sword, Artena, is the power of [Healing Flame].
I looked at Adonis, who was giving me another look of disbelief, and recalled the situation from earlier.
‘I see. So you survived because your timing was good… … .’
If Adonis hadn’t been wary of what I was taking out of his bosom.
If the five-colored flames containing divine power had not bloomed.
If Adonis had not lost his strength after feeling the energy of the Holy Sword.
‘My neck would have already been rolling on the ground.’
Is it because I’m bleeding? My condition is bad.
Naturally, my brows furrowed.
But this was the same for Adonis as well.
“… … What on earth are you? How come you have the Holy Sword? No, how can you even handle the Holy Sword?”
Adonis spouted out nonsense. His usual relaxed demeanor was nowhere to be seen.
It must have been so surprising that even Adonis, who was extremely experienced, was unable to speak properly.
Jeebuk-.
As I approached Adonis, I gathered my thoughts in my head.
‘The way I look at myself now from Adonis’ perspective is… . . . ‘
The owner of an ominous appearance that gives you goosebumps just by looking at it.
The blood of the demon tribe flows through his body.
At only fifteen years old, he was skilled enough to repel his own attacks.
It’s not enough to have the Holy Sword, but to be able to control its power.
To this extent, it is something beyond suspicious, something that cannot be expressed in words.
Talk to Adonis 1:1 (1/1)
Prove you’re not the enemy (0/1)
Survive for 5 minutes (success)
The sixth quest was now also nearing its end.
This is a situation where only the second condition needs to be met.
The plan went a little awry, but it’s easy from here on out.
Since I have drawn the Holy Sword, there is no denying that I am on your side.
“Haha, calm down. Doesn’t that prove that I’m on your side?”
“… … It hasn’t been proven at all?”
“Even though I received the Holy Sword’s approval?”
He raised the holy sword as if he was looking at it. Five-colored flames burned along the blade.
“How can I… … with the blood of the Demon Clan flowing through my veins… .”
“Haha, does that matter? I think it’s more important that I’m a good person.”
“… …Why is there demon blood flowing through your body?”
“Haha, it has to do with the devil’s curse I received.”
“What good would it do them to change your blood?”
“To make humans kill the user of the Holy Sword… something like that, isn’t it? Like now.”
Adonis flinched.
Because that is what you are doing right now.
“Am I being deceived by the devil’s scheme… … .”
“Haha, strictly speaking, I wasn’t fooled. I’m still alive. Of course, my arm hurts a little.”
“… … I should have cut off the mouth instead of the arm. My mistake.”
“Ugh!!”
I fell to my knees, thrusting the holy sword into the ground.
Adonis, surprised, came running in a hurry.
“What’s wrong? Are you sick somewhere? Is it something to do with the devil’s curse?”
“Hehe, my arm hurts. I recently had a bad experience with a suspicious pretty boy. Oh, come to think of it, he must have used a holy sword too.”
“… … .”
“Why on earth would the user of the Holy Sword do that? Anyone who uses the Holy Sword would see me as an ally.”
Holy sword, holy sword, and more holy sword.
It doesn’t matter if I become a bachelor like the Holy Sword.
Holy Sword=Hero=Good Person=Zero(?).
Because it is perfect logic that no one can refute.
The following anecdote is a conversation that took place during Caron’s class after the children of the Holy Land arrived.
‘Anyone who is good can hold the Holy Sword. It’s because there are very few people who are recognized as such… … That’s why there are secretly many people who can hold the Holy Sword.’
‘So does that mean we can listen to it too? If we meet a hero, we can ask him to listen to it, right?’
‘Of course you can. As long as you don’t burn up.’
‘……yes?’
‘The phrase ‘good’ that I mentioned earlier is quite subjective. Of course, it is the Holy Sword’s opinion.’
‘… … Even if it is subjective, aren’t there some commonalities?’
‘That’s right. People’s current guesses are that it is a being that can work for the world. Yes, a noble being… … I think it might be something like that. Of course, this is also a guess.’
Not for personal gain.
For the people, to kill the devil, and to protect the world.
Something that only a ‘noble being’ who is prepared to make sacrifices can possess.
Yes. In this world, there was such a thing as a ‘holy sword’.
“… … The legend of the Holy Sword is just a legend. It may be used by evildoers. Do you have any proof that you are not a demon?”
“Devils! Don’t even mention it! They are my enemies! They are the objects of my vengeance!”
“It’s hard to believe… … Why are you angry now when you weren’t when I mentioned the devil earlier?”
“I’m sorry. Actually, I’m the type of person who hates demons when I hold a holy sword… … .”
“Ugh… … .”
Adonis clutched his forehead.
Adonis, who has a lot of experience and has been through a lot, including battles in the air, has probably never experienced a situation like this.
‘You have no choice but to acknowledge me as an ally.’
It was a time when I was just waiting for the quest to be completed.
Adonis opened his eyes, his golden eyes shining.
“… … Yes, I have no choice but to admit it. That you are my ally.”
“Haha, you are indeed wise. You may be feeling a little uneasy right now, but if you go and talk to Mr. Karon, you will be able to clear up all your doubts about me.”
“Let’s do that. But there’s one thing I have to do before that.”
“Please speak.”
“Hand me the holy sword.”
“yes?”
“It’s amazing that you’ve been recognized by the Holy Sword, but your current skills are even more amazing. With those skills, you won’t even be able to properly draw out the power of the Holy Sword.”
It was as Adonis said. The Holy Sword Artena is currently an F-ranked item.
There was also similar writing in the information window.
‘A state where the user’s abilities are so poor that they cannot draw out their natural strength.’
“What if you were killed by a demon, and the Holy Sword was broken afterwards? There is no greater loss to the Human Alliance. You, being smart, should know better.”
The claim that Adonis would have the Holy Sword was perfectly reasonable.
Even a one-year-old knows that what Adonis has is safer than what I, a student, have.
“… … When can I get it back?”
“After graduating from the academy… … No, maybe after that. I want to reach at least the level of 7-star.”
“What if I get killed by the devil?”
“Then it seems my choice was right. I didn’t lose the Holy Sword.”
If you have the skill to be killed by a demon, it means that even if you have a holy sword, the result will be the same.
Adonis said, holding out his hand.
“Now, hand me the holy sword.”
“… … .”
“What are you hesitating for? You’re protecting the Holy Sword while also proving that you’re an ally.”
Wow, that was so logical I was speechless.
I couldn’t believe it. The Hidden Piece was having its Holy Sword stolen.
‘… Is this a test?’
If you hand over the Holy Sword, the story goes like this: ‘Hmm, you were my ally. I’m sorry for doubting you. I’ll give it back to you.’
But given Adonis’ personality, it didn’t seem like that would be the case.
Because he is a serious character in everything he does.
‘… … I cannot have the Holy Sword taken away from me here.’
It is also the holy sword that exerts the most powerful force in the fight against demons.
There was one bigger problem than that.
‘After Adonis left the Academy, he was killed by Brocken.’
At the same time, Brocken also destroys the second holy sword, Durandal.
It is self-evident that the 9th Holy Sword, Artena, will also disappear at that time.
Knowing that future, I can’t do something stupid like handing over the Holy Sword.
There’s nothing I can do. It’s come to this.
‘I have no choice but to show off my skills.’
I used the [Open Eyes] skill. At the same time, I used the skill I had saved in [Imitation of God], and my body started moving on its own.
Left foot forward, right foot back.
Two feet firmly planted on the ground, reflecting the will not to move no matter what storm.
Both hands, holding the sword tightly, rose above the head and lowered themselves in a straight line.
The fourth secret of the Lucid family.
Splitting the sky.
There was a brief silence of about 5 seconds. And then.
Damn it!!
The ceiling, the walls, and the floor.
It split in a straight line along my sword path.
Five-colored flames imbued with divine power danced in the air, and moonlight poured down through the cracks.
What’s amazing is that not a single stone crumb fell down.
“The Sky Splitting of the Lucid Family… …! How did you use this technique!”
Adonis was astonished.
The reason Adonis stayed still while I used [Sky Splitting] was simple.
‘Because I swung it far away.’
That was also used from a very distant place.
If he was at the level of Adonis, he would have easily noticed that he was not being attacked.
You must have been looking at me wondering what I was going to do next.
Adonis opened his eyes wide, but it was still too early to be surprised.
Knock!
He kicked the ground towards Adonis.
A slightly bent left knee, the scabbard set at a right angle to match.
This causes the lower back to bend even further.
Explosive rotation through the ankles, legs, waist, arms and wrists.
“… … !!”
The light of the magic lantern hanging in the training hall, the light in the eyes of a person, the sacred power of the holy sword.
Starlight and moonlight.
All the light in the world disappeared in an instant.
And in that darkness.
A single flash of light appeared.
The first of the Leicester family.
A flash.
