Episode 304. Into the Secret (6)
Anastasia Spencia.
I felt it right from the first time I heard the name.
At first glance, it is a classy name reminiscent of an aristocratic family.
In addition, the various seals and decorations on her well-dressed uniform showed her position on this continent.
A scion of a prestigious noble family and a great man beloved by the country.
In addition, the power of deception inherited through the witch’s blood.
Well, it would be safe to say that this is an essential condition that must be met in order to become the owner of the Holy Sword.
In addition, I now felt like I knew why the proud God of Light chose the returned devil as his successor.
“Are you not human?”
“It’s human.”
“But why doesn’t my power of deception work? “No, how did you know about the power of deception in the first place?”
She took off her mask of smile and demanded an answer from me with an evil face.
I ignored her question and looked the other way.
“Where are you looking?”
Then Anastasia aimed the holy sword at my neck with lightning speed.
“If you are human, you can never disobey me! There has never been a person like that before, and there should never be one like that again! I am the only one who will lead the order of this world… … !”
“A savior?”
Her lips stopped in midair for a moment.
“At least not for me?”
“… … !”
The owner of the holy sword, who had been aiming his sword at a distance in front of me, ran away five paces away and took a guard stance towards me.
She realized my intention to momentarily bend her wrist and drop the holy sword, and ran away.
The reaction speed is as fast as that of a dark elf.
First, I turned around and approached Kayram, who was in an unstable state.
“Are you okay?”
As soon as I lifted my arm, Kayram immediately lost his balance and stumbled.
First, the light spears embedded in the body were removed one by one.
“Cough!”
However, her body had already suffered so much damage that the fight itself was impossible.
Blood poured from the mouth like a waterfall.
“don’t mind! “I won’t fall down like this!”
Well, of course, I’m sure my mind is fine.
However, continuing the battle in this state will only repeat humiliating situations for her, and nothing will change.
“Don’t be arrogant. Do you already have no strength left to swing your sword? “That body has already reached its limit.”
“So what? “Are you going to run away just to keep this body?”
That’s not what I want either.
Rather than turning your back and running away because you can’t fight, it would be better to commit suicide on the spot.
I held out my hand to her without saying a word.
Kayram, who did not understand my actions, was stunned for a moment.
“What are we going to do?”
“Give me the magic sword.”
“what?”
“The power of the sword is fully revealed when it meets its master. “Didn’t you already experience it many times while you were with your previous owner?”
“Look at this arrogant guy? “Do you think someone like you would dare treat me?”
“If I can’t handle it, what’s more than eating my soul?”
Kayram laughed excessively with a look of bewilderment on his face.
“It’s something I will live to see for a really long time. “The day will come when I will entrust everything to someone who doesn’t even know the fundamentals.”
Kayram slowly raised his right hand holding the sword.
“Don’t regret it later!”
The moment the hilt of the magic sword was placed between her and my palm,
– Wedge!
The sword energy of the holy sword flew before our eyes.
I immediately adjusted my sword and struck back.
-Suddenly
The sword energy split into two and passed by on both sides.
“Tch!”
Anastasia, whose surprise attack failed, wrinkled her face.
-Smurf
Soon her body, or rather the body of her former owner Dio, who was supporting her, suddenly went limp.
-dump
It just collapsed on the floor.
At the same time, my heartbeat suddenly accelerated, blood flow became very rapid, and fever surged throughout my body.
This feeling is familiar.
This is exactly the feeling I had when the spirit of the Demon Sword first entered me.
It feels so amazing that it kills me.
[after… … .]
Her sigh, a mixture of various emotions, echoed in my head.

[How are you feeling?]
“Not bad.”
There is one fact that needs to be pointed out here.
This place is not reality, but a fragment of memory sealed in a tree called Arbor.
That means that no matter what I do here, nothing will change in reality.
but,
Even so,
Can’t we just ignore this damn situation?
I pointed the blade of the magic sword enveloped in black fog at the owner of the holy sword and chanted softly.
“Ammu Type 9: Appearance of the Demon Sword… … .”
* * *
Pruina’s night deepens.
The bitter cold winds of the polar region continued without stopping.
“You’re late.”
White Elf elder Tartaris looked worriedly toward the north of the village where Xian and his party left.
They are later than expected.
Could it be that they were attacked by dark elves?
Just as the thought of mobilizing the security elves to conduct a search occurred,
-Peeeee!
Suddenly, a huge golden light emitted from the direction he was looking.
“Why the sudden light?”
In terms of direction, it was very close to the point where Xian and his party were heading.
The anxiety that had sprouted small grew quickly, causing Tartaris’ body to tremble.
“Elder! “The dark elf has appeared!”
The anxiety soon became reality on the other side.
The appearance of a dark elf that occurred during the night.
After hastily arming themselves, the guard elves ran straight to the location where the dark elves had appeared.
The number of dark elves that appeared was three.
Still, the number was smaller than during the day.
“A curtain of pure ice will block the threat!”
First, as usual, an ice wall was created to block the Dark Elves.
“… … ?”
But, something was strange.
Unlike before, where the Dark Elves were striking down mercilessly to break through the wall, they just stood still and stared at the White Elves beyond the wall.
The standing posture was also a little different.
Instead of staggering around like a dead and reanimated corpse, his posture was upright and controlled.
It was like seeing an upright knight.
“Why are you staying still?”
The elves were very anxious at the unfamiliar sight that had not been shown before.
“Do not panic! Now is your chance! Let’s freeze it right away!”
The elves immediately recited the spell to cast freezing magic.
“Frozen Land!”
Just as the bitter cold created through magic was about to spread through the ground and down to the dark elf’s feet,
-swish
The dark elves who were standing still suddenly soared into the sky.
“… … !”
The white elves were completely entranced by the unbelievable sight.
While they were unable to do anything, the dark elves quickly jumped over the wall,
As soon as it landed on the ground, it rushed forward without waiting.
“No, we have to stop them!”
I tried to respond late, but it was already too late.
Some elves were frightened by the bizarre sight of the elves running at breakneck speed, so they turned their backs and ran away.
-Pazy!
In a situation that could have turned into the worst crisis, lightning suddenly struck from the sky.
The lightning struck the approaching dark elves, and those who could not avoid them all became incapable of action and fell.
-Chi profit
Hot steam rose from his charred body.
“Uh, what happened?”
“Who struck the lightning?”
“Is this really possible?”
– Jeopuk
The eyes of the elves, who were confused because they could not understand the situation, soon turned to the direction where they heard the unfamiliar footsteps.
A tall woman, radiating noble spirit, slowly emerging from the strong snow wind.
The expressions of the white elves facing her soon became filled with joy.
“Hey, Marian! “It’s Marian!”
Marian, the guardian dragon of Pruina.
She had returned after a brief absence due to the chaotic situation on the continent.
“… … .”
However, Marian’s expression upon her return was not so bright.
She was looking at the unrecognizably burned corpse of a dark elf with a hard gaze.
“Where on earth do these strange figures come from?”
He couldn’t help but feel so shocked that even his pupils fluttered wildly.
“You’re back, Marian!”
Elder Tartaris rushed over and quickly saluted, but Marian did not even look at him.
“What on earth happened while I was gone?”
“Well, that is…” … .”
“for a moment!”
Marian suddenly covered Tataris’s mouth as he tried to explain the whole story, and stretched out her hand to the other side.
-Quaang!
Then, four pillars of ice rose from beneath the ground there.
Inside the ice pillar, there was another white elf who collapsed on the floor in shock.
“Elpuris?”
It was Elfuris, the elder’s son.
“Why are you here?”
The two humans who accompanied him were nowhere to be seen.
“Well, that means… … .”
Elpuris only opened his mouth and could hardly speak.
-Peeeee!
At that time, the same huge golden light as before emitted once again from the ice valley north of the village.
-Kwakwauk!
The unidentifiable roaring sound is a bonus.
Tartaris looked at Elfuris again and asked.
“What happened to the humans who went with us?”
“human?”
Then Marian frowned as if asking what this meant.
“Are there any humans in this Pruina now?”
“Oh, that’s right! As for how this happened… … .”
“done! “I will go and check it myself!”
Marian seemed to have decided that it would be better to confirm with her own eyes rather than explain, so she immediately spread her wings and flew up.
The direction Marianne was heading towards was definitely the point where the light arose.
If I was not mistaken, it was most likely the energy of the holy sword.
However, that light did not only contain the energy of the holy sword.
Even though it was dark, other elves might not have found it.
But the almighty dragon’s eyes did not miss and saw clearly.
An unfamiliar black fog was surrounding a huge brightness like the light of salvation.
If this is also not your mistake,
It was most likely the energy of a magic sword.
“Why on earth are those two here… … .”
As soon as the target location gets closer, the moment you try to speed up even more,
‘Marian.’
A familiar voice sounded in her head.
“Oh, Aquanis?”
It was Aquanis, the goddess of blue water.
‘I have something to tell you for a moment, so please come over to my sub-space right now.’
“You mean now?”
Embarrassed, Marian couldn’t go any further and stopped in place.
“Would you mind giving me a little time? It seems that the owner of the Holy Sword and the owner of the Demon Sword are together in Pruina right now! Let me check what happened… … .”
‘No need to check. ‘Just get over it.’
The consistent answer of the goddess.
But Marian could tell from that answer.
Regarding this series of events currently occurring in Pruina,
That the goddess knows something.
‘You have work to do, Marianne.’
“All right!”
Marian immediately created a gate and entered it.
