Episode 8. Master of the Demon Sword (2)
August 12, 999, according to the Genesis calendar.
We finally succeeded in expelling the demonic army that occupied Belias.
However, contrary to expectations, their forces were very strong, and the morale of the Allied forces who experienced this was very low.
An urgent situation where you don’t know when the Demon Army will invade again.
As a result, humans felt the limits of their power and raised the need for divine weapons.
It is a continent where everything was erased 300 years ago due to the God-Demon War, but there were still some traces left here and there that had not yet been erased.
Humans scraped together the meager information, and soon discovered that relics from an old era imbued with the power of God were hidden throughout the continent.
Among them, the most necessary was Durandark, the holy sword with the blessings of Lumendel, the god of light.
Due to the nature of demons who are vulnerable to light, Rumendel’s power could be fatal to them, so it had to be found.
The problem is that it is impossible to determine where the sword is sleeping.
I could only guess that it was somewhere in the western part of the continent, where the Temple of Light was presumed to be located.
Well, I finally found it.
Me too.
It was really a coincidence.
While looking around the area of Belias that had been recaptured from the Demon King’s army, I suddenly had the desire to go to the mountain behind the mansion.
I was trying to soothe my body and mind from the battle with the demons and organize my thoughts, but what is this?
The moment I reached the top and stretched out on the bottom of the grass, I felt something unusual.
The flow of surrounding mana is not normal.
It feels as if something under the mountain is sucking the energy of the area.
I was convinced that there was something under this mountain that I didn’t know about when I was snotty.
Could it be that the legendary holy sword is none other than here?
We gathered people together to check just in case, and sure enough, it turned out that there was a temple of light at the bottom of the mountain where the holy sword rested.
Literally an amazing coincidence.
Regardless of who found it, Black Eshel took it.
No one raised any objections, and everyone acknowledged that he owned it, as if it was a natural procedure.
Same goes for me.
It wasn’t a sword suitable for me to use in the first place, and I didn’t think I was qualified to use it.
I just felt fortunate that I was able to find it by chance.
But it didn’t end there.
Just as I was about to return after completing the purpose of retrieving the holy sword, I felt a silent energy emanating from behind the altar where the holy sword was placed.
When there is light, there is a shadow.
However, no one pays attention to the shadow.
Another energy that coexisted hidden in the shadow of the holy sword.
I visited the temple alone, as if drawn by its energy, and eventually found the room of the magic sword that remained along with the holy sword.
That’s how I found the magic sword Kayram.
Along with the holy sword Durandark, it is a sword that controls the positive energy of the world.
It was another divine weapon that could only be possessed by those who realized the truth in the endless darkness.
The black jewel embedded in the hilt of the sword tempted me, as if telling me to pick it out.
As if I was drawn to that temptation, I pulled out my sword, and at that moment, my fate changed once again.
* * *
[you you? What on earth? How can you touch my body?]
“You’re not asking because you don’t know, right? “There’s only one reason why this situation is possible, right?”
A magic sword stuck on the altar and a black-haired woman connected by black fog above it.
She is not a living creature, but a spiritual being, and it is absolutely impossible to catch her with bare hands.
But my hands were firmly holding her neck.
That meant I had special powers that could control her.
[Uh, why is the energy of ‘Aer’ on you? Kid, are you really that guy’s successor?]
“He was the heir… … . In fact, it’s still true.”
[That doesn’t make any sense! The engravings he carved are clearly visible on your body!]
Honestly, I’m in an ambiguous state right now that’s hard to pin down.
She has no way of knowing this and is getting angry and angry, but what can you do?
I’m telling the plain truth right now.
“Let’s go easy, Kayram. Is it bothersome to explain this and that when I’m still not sure? “Why don’t you just follow me quietly?”
Her eyebrows frowned severely.
[Has that idiot’s spirit finally escaped? Hey kid! You keep climbing and you could really die… … .]
“Ammu Type 9: Control of the Demon Sword.”
[Huh!]
When I snap my fingers and chant, the woman who was scolding me angrily holds her head in pain.
[Keuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu… … .]
Finally, he sat down on the floor and struggled to breathe.
-Sooooook
In the meantime, I pulled out the sword stuck on the altar, and at the same time, Kayram was separated from the fog and transformed into a perfect human form.
“I’m sorry, it’s been a while since I played so I couldn’t control my strength… … .”
I thought it might have been a little harsh, so I immediately apologized.
She screamed at me while cupping her face.
[Hey, little you! If you hurt a woman like that, you won’t live long?]
After all, if you come to your senses with something like this, it won’t be my favorite sword.

I mercifully refrained from snapping my fingers once more.
The identity of this woman is a soul containing the spirit of the magic sword Kayram.
In other words, it can be seen as the living personality of this sword.
“There’s no need to prove anything more at this point, right? Following Aer’s successor is the reason for your existence. “Will you stop holding my hand and go out?”
She was out of breath and jumped up as if it had never happened before.
Then he sat down on the altar and looked over my whole body with his haughty eyes.
[Is that what you saw?]
I nodded.
Well, it’s not wrong, right?
[On the outside, he looks like a newborn chick who has only lived for about 10 years, so why is he so full on the inside? I don’t even have a chance to squeeze in with this?]
Because people are not always what they seem on the outside.
That one thing is a lesson I felt painfully in my past life.
I lifted the sword and looked at my reflection in the blade.
On one side, there is a ten-year-old boy who can be said to be my current self,
On the contrary, right before I died, my foolish face from my past life was reflected.
Which one can be said to be the real me?
There is no need to deny anything.
In the end, we are both just me.
“Let me explain briefly. “I’ve already died once.”
[A guy who died once?]
Her eyes opened wide.
“To put it simply, can we say it’s a regression? Although she died young after being struck by the blade of betrayal in her previous life, she was caught up in an unknown phenomenon and returned to the past. “In that one life, I was chosen by Aer and walked the battlefield with you.”
[So, are you telling me to believe that now?]
“Does it make sense that a young chick with no hair on its body can control you?”
Kayram hesitated before speaking.
It’s definitely not something you can easily believe just because you heard it once.
However, if you assume what I say is true, I can also clearly define the current situation in which I can control the divine weapon.
Kayram thought for a moment and then asked again.
[What is your name?]
“Sian, Sian Bert… … .”
[It’s a name you’ve never heard before in your life? You were chosen by Aer?]
“okay. Otherwise, it would be impossible to have this conversation with you right now.”
The biggest reason why I, who was an incompetent child in my past life, was able to control Kayram.
That’s because there was some kind of divine protection.
Aer, the god of black fog, was ostracized even in the divine world.
He was also the person who completely changed my life.
[Hmm, even if he’s a weirdo, he’s not stupid enough to choose a nosebleed… … .]
One action is worth more than a thousand words.
Even she wouldn’t be able to dismiss what I said as complete nonsense.
In addition to the secret energy he showed me just now, I can clearly feel his energy radiating from my body… … .
[But I don’t understand? If he can control me with his fingers, he must have mastered all of his powers in the first place, but what did he do in his past life that led to his early death?]
It hits me where it hurts.
Well, it’s not like I can’t say it now.
“Nothing special. “I was just betrayed by someone I trusted.”
[betrayal? Ah~ So you got hit in the head? It’s a pretty ugly end for the owner of the magic sword, isn’t it? Well, how could you, a human being, do anything if there was no business in front of the leader~?]
She waved her hand and laughed, but then spoke with a straight face.
[But keep in mind. I don’t care if you regressed or what you did. If you show even the slightest sign of weakness or weakness in my eyes, I will swallow you right up! Do you understand?]
Kayram’s fingers traced my lips.
I told him to move on nicely, but did his personality come out?
My calm heart stirred slightly at the provocation rather than the ridicule.
I said with a smile without any hint of shame.
“I assure you, I am the only person on this earth who can properly treat you… … .”
[like? On what basis would you say that? Why did such a great person die young? … ]
-fault!
My left hand, which was empty, instantly grabbed her hair.
Kayram, who was beaten without even being able to use his hands, was already at the same eye level as me.
“So climb up appropriately, Kayram. “You can’t make a living by chopping meat if you don’t like the owner of God’s weapon, right?”
Don’t get me wrong.
I am now giving her advice with an infinitely compassionate smile.
It is by no means a warning or threat.
Isn’t my face smiling endlessly as proof of that?
[We’ll have to wait and see… . Are you really a master who can satisfy me?]
Kayram also responded with an interesting smile.
As expected, it’s my favorite sword.
[But… … .]
She immediately frowns.
He seemed to feel something very unpleasant.
[Is that child out there still there?]
“Is it far?”
When I looked back, the light of the holy sword was coming in through the open door.
In this empty temple, that was by far the only object that could be called Muldae.
I put Kayram in my arms and went out.
Having just emerged from the darkness, the light of Durandark felt much brighter than before.
[and! I was wondering if he was still sleeping? Has the owner not shown up yet?]
When she saw the holy sword, she asked curiously.
“It might be better if it doesn’t show up forever… … .”
I thought about just destroying it on the spot, but I shook my head because I thought it would be a huge pain if I did that.
Kayram is staring at my face again.
Then, out of nowhere, he throws out a word.
[The guy who tricked you in your past life is the owner of that mug, right?]
I felt a flinch for a moment, but I didn’t show it.
I calmly turned around and asked quietly.
“Why do you think that?”
[You are probably the only person in all of history who would look at the Holy Sword with that shit-chewing expression. Just by looking at it, it says ‘This is my enemy from my past life’ written all over his face, but aren’t you stupid for not recognizing it?]
I said I had a poker face, but I never thought it would show.
That probably means that my hatred for this sword and its owner is so great.
“As expected, Nai Jjambap is not a waste of money?”
[I tried to pretend to be calm. So, in this life, you want to take revenge on the owner of that holy sword?]
“No, that’s not enough.”
After a moment of hesitation, my heart became energized again.
I walked toward the holy sword in front of Kayram.
-Tung!
The holy sword tilted to one side with a loud sound.
-Tung! Empty! Empty!
The sword that was stuck deep in the altar could not be easily pulled out.
After a few kicks, the holy sword fell from the altar and plummeted to the floor.
It doesn’t matter anymore who owns this sword or when it’s taken over.
A savior who will lead the light of life?
I am someone who thoroughly knows the face of the savior.
There is no reason for me to serve this sword and its owner again, even if I die.
What I want is submission, not revenge.
[…] … ?!]
Kayram’s eyes, who had been watching silently, soon widened.
“Shouldn’t this be in order?”
Before I knew it, my feet were trampling on the brilliant blade of the holy sword.
The golden jewel embedded in the hilt of the sword looks at me as if it resents me.
A true savior does not borrow the power of others.
-tuk
Even without applying much force, the jewel fell easily.
At the same time, the brilliant light of the holy sword was reduced by half.
I put the jewel in my pocket.
[What are you going to do with it?]
Kayram asked with a puzzled expression.
“well? Even if you can’t do anything right now, won’t it be fun later?”
Will you bow down to me to find this, or will you fight with all your might to take it away?
Whatever it is, it’s interesting to me.
It’s even more fun if it’s the latter… … .
