Chapter 1328
Episode 1328. The day after
the immortal sword, dimension ruler, bottom of despair .
Morning came, but the Ushas Wundra still did not appear.
Considering his ability as a god, it was clear that he had no intention of coming from the beginning.
Elio and his party left the Centius Basin without waiting any longer.
The way back was peaceful the whole time.
Even when the Abyss’ demons approached, they saw Angnes Roden and went back.
Elio and the others paid more attention to the monsters swarming than the demons.
This is because monsters will attack with ignorance even if they receive even the slightest stimulation.
Of course, it was to prevent unnecessary slaughter rather than being afraid of monsters.
Ten days after that, around noon.
Elio and his party were able to reach the Dragon Head Mountain, which had a sheer rock wall.
There, people rested after quenching their hunger with energy balls.
Crea looked at the huge rock wall with mixed eyes.
When I first arrived here, I felt a sense of pride.
I guess I felt like a real adventurer.
However, now that I have been to Centius Basin, everything is fleeting.
I am just grateful to be alive.
Howard looked at her and smiled.
“why? Are you even moved to see the rock face again alive?”
“uh? How did you know?
“How do you know, that’s just what I heard.”
“When I first came here, I felt like I had accomplished something big. It felt like standing shoulder to shoulder with famous adventurers. It felt like I had finally become a real adventurer from a mercenary.”
“But has it changed now?”
“Yeah, I want to know what’s the use of all that… It’s a miracle that someone like me is alive? Or the relief and excitement of being alive?”
Then Howard patted her shoulder and said.
“You are delicate. After listening to it, I think I felt the same way. Seeing this place, I was proud inside, saying, ‘Now I’ve become an experienced adventurer.’”
“Now?”
“Do you think I will live happily with you when I leave this place?”
“Are you thinking of getting out of Lord Lagoa’s adventures?”
“No, don’t fix it. When Lord Lagoa returns to his hometown, I intend to form a mercenary group with you. What is the name of the mercenary group, Thelema?”
“Thelema. I’m fine.”
“The meaning of the ancient word ‘will’ is good, but isn’t it a good name to remember our adventure with Lord Lagoa?”
“Iknow, right.”
Crea also nodded vigorously as if agreeing.
Fabian avoided the two chattering and moved closer to Elio.
“Sir Lagoa.”
“why?”
“The… Satyr’s horn.”
“No.”
“Gyeongji doesn’t just develop on its own. Only when the lord’s warehouse is full, will there be tomorrow in the lord. Do you want Lord Lagoa’s estate to decline?”
“Whether it declines or sells, do as you please. no horns That’s up to Howard and Mr. Crea. You are content with just my estate.”
Embarrassed by Elio’s determined attitude, Fabian quickly changed the topic.
“The hum horn is just a sound I’ve heard. Do you have that strange sword of Lord Lagoa?”
“A strange sword?”
“The sword that pierced Lord Lagoa’s body.”
“however?”
“Is that a different sword from the one that killed the god Antar?”
“why?”
“Sir Lagoa and the god Antar were both stabbed with the same sword, but only the god Antar died. The god Antar was stabbed, but Lord Lagoa was even penetrated countless times. But rather, it’s strange that Lord Lagoa came alive without getting hurt. The white flame shrunk by one span each time the sword pierced it.”
“It’s essentially the same sword.”
“But why kill someone and save someone?”
“I don’t know the details either.”
Elio shrugged.
The dead god Antar seemed to know better than he did.
I should have asked about that first before he died, but it’s just a pity that I missed the opportunity with useless words.
“It belongs to Lord Lagoa, but you don’t know?”
“uh.”
“How can that be? Wasn’t that a transcendent black enlightenment accompanied by perfect knowledge?”
“Not necessarily. what is that It’s similar to how people in this world receive the blessing of mana. You don’t need to know everything about mana. Rather, doesn’t enlightenment come only after receiving mana?”
“That’s it again. Since you compared it to the blessing of mana, I understand the situation. The sword must also have a name, right?”
“In my hometown, it is called ‘Sword Spirit of the Nine Heavens [九天劍靈],’ but the god Antar says otherwise.”
“I beg your pardon?”
“Astral Sword.”
“oh! For some reason, just hearing it makes my heart feel magnificent.”
Fabian reacted immediately to the astral sword, probably because he was a local.
“Have you heard of it?”
“Not at all. I hear it for the first time from Lord Lagoa. Have you heard of Sir Omar?”
At Fabian’s sudden question, Count Larva Omar shook his head.
“I’m hearing it for the first time too. It’s a name not recorded in any history book I’ve seen.”
Fabian turned his gaze back to Elio.
“If Sir Omar doesn’t know, no one else will.”
“yes?”
Elio, who was well acquainted with Count Omar’s excellent insight, agreed with Fabian’s words.
Count Larva Omar showed humility, saying, ‘Maybe there is a scholar who knows’, but Elio didn’t expect much.
Then, suddenly, Fabian looked at the champion, Angnes Roden, and said,
“Doesn’t the demon know?”
Elio, thinking it made sense, immediately gestured to Angnes Roden.
“Annes! Look at me for a second.”
Angnes Roden, who had been backing away, came running after a month.
“yes.”
“Do you know about the Astral Sword?”
“Is that the sword your lord has?”
Elio was delighted at Angnes Roden’s question.
I didn’t expect it because it’s a demon who couldn’t even become a monarch, but seeing what you say, it doesn’t seem like that?
“okay. Tell me what you know.”
Angnes Roden wondered why the owner of the astral sword would ask such a thing, but he did not dare to ask.
“The sword is called ‘The Immortal Sword’ or ‘The Dimensional Ruler’, as they like.”
“Is it badly called?”
“Yes, some gods call it ‘the bottom of despair’.”
“Is there a reason you got that name?”
“I don’t know too well, but it is said that the original Astral Sword was a god.”
“God? Like Antar or Ushas Undra?”
“yes. Many gods were killed during the ancient war between Shaitin and Mana Phrass… At that time, there were gods who performed ‘irreversible polymorph’ with swords. Thanks to that, I got an immortal body, but I was bound by the sword. Even the gods are so invincible that they run away when they encounter an astral sword… but since they have to wander forever with a sword, they are ‘bottom of despair’.”
“Which of the demon gods and the titan gods became the Astral Sword?”
“It was a titan god who created ‘Irreversible Polymorph’ in the first place. He is the god of a race that specializes in warfare… He must have developed such a terrible method.”
“Then did it spread to the demon gods?”
“Because only the Astral Sword could deal with the Astral Sword. In the end, even the gods of the demons learned about the ‘irreversible polymorph’, and the war between the gods ended in an instant.”
“Are you done?”
“Because the Astral Sword killed the gods and also killed the other Astral Swords. Shaytin and Mana Phthras joined forces for the first and last time to send the Astral Sword to another dimension. There is a saying that the Mahakab War ended at that time because the strength was exhausted.”
“I didn’t know.”
Elio felt sad because he had the Nine Heaven Sword Spirit in his body.
To think that the gods had to wander the universe forever in the form of swords.
Only then did I understand the phrase ‘bottom of despair’.
Gain one, lose one.
Didn’t the gods who became rulers of the dimension regret their choices later?
That was all Angnes Roden knew.
After Elio praised Angnes Loden, he told Fabian about the Astral Sword.
“…The war is over because we used up all our strength to send the Astral Sword to another dimension.”
“Wow! Even if I tell people this, they won’t believe it?”
Count Larva Omar also shook his head excitedly as if he was stunned.
The gods turned themselves into swords with ‘irreversible polymorph’!
I can’t believe it at all, but when I think of the mysterious sword of Count Helio Lagoa, it seems to be true.
It was because I could feel the power of God from those swords – it’s hard to explain.
“Then Lord Lagoa’s astral sword…is it a titan god or a demon god?”
“I don’t know. My astral swords never told me that.”
“Could it be that the words are unified?”
“It’s not a conversation, it’s just a simple meaning.”
“God is right.”
“Maybe not, so don’t be conclusive.”
“you’re right. In particular, the red sword must have been a demon god in the past. Aren’t the eyes of demons like that?”
“men and horses. The gods of demons and demons are different.”
“The dangerous feeling that gives off every time I see it is also the god of demons.”
“Yes or no.”
Elio didn’t care.
Whether it’s a demon god or a titan god, it’s enough if it’s beneficial to you.
“But the demon god and the titan god must be enemies of each other… How can they not fight and harmonize well?”
After thinking for a moment, Elio replied.
“Both Mana Phras and Shaytin sent them to another dimension. Could it be that his heart is open because he was kicked out by the god he believed in? Oh, of course, if that is an astral sword.”
“Wow! Gods are like humans. You mean there are no permanent enemies and no permanent allies?”
Fabian accepted Count Helio Lagoa’s words.
The astral sword was in his body and made sense, so he thought it was right.
After a while, Elio and the others left Dragon Head Mountain.
Three days later, Elio and his party arrived at the Ceratops habitat.
There, Elio sent the champion, Angnes Roden, back to the wilds.
It was because he couldn’t roam the human world with her, a high-ranking demon.
Angnes Roden begged to attend, but Elio was relentless.
It is because the eyes of Angnes Roden, a female chain, are very burdensome.
In the end, Angnes Roden fluttered his six pairs of wings and disappeared into the sky of the Abyss.
Fabian, who was looking at Angnes Roden with regretful eyes, said,
“Why did you take more? It sounds like you’re even begging for that.”
“He showed too much selfishness.”
“Why don’t you pretend you can’t win and accept it? They say you shouldn’t hate women.”
“You think I’m horny like you? And I also have a preference.”
“Looking at Lord Lagoa, I don’t think it’s okay to have a spouse who is too beautiful. Aren’t the other women completely unsatisfied?”
“I will tell Sarah well. Miss Sera is ugly, so when you see only women, you sigh.”
“Am I? when? Who are you to tell me that I’ve been teased? And don’t even talk about Sarah. It’s been a long time since we lost contact. He may have married another nobleman by now.”
“Did you lose contact?”
“yes.”
“Isn’t that because you wandered around without a fixed place of residence? Is this a very official excuse to have an affair?”
“But if you still have a heart, you can send news to a few places, right? Sir Lagoa and I must have known the destination in the Empire. My heart is gone.”
“Did you send a letter?”
“Do I have time to send something like that?”
“Ah, you impostor.”
Elio kicked Fabian in the butt.
Fabian screamed and ran away from Elio’s kicks.
Howard and Crea laughed as they watched the two chase after each other.
Elio and his party were still peaceful.
