0.01 Second Sword Master Episode 177
[To accomplish my great task, I must come out of this sealed coffin.]
Remegeton’s voice resounds from the sealed coffin.
That dark, malevolent voice echoed throughout the cave, and had a great influence on demons far away.
[My servant. What is your name?]
“It’s called Tercana.”
[Tercana. I will entrust you with a valuable mission. Soon the seal will be broken. And I need a proper bowl.]
Absorbing the Babylons, Remegeton regained its strength.
As the power grew stronger, the seal was being released.
However, in order to have a stronger power, a proper bowl was needed.
[I am the god who rules this land. That’s why the bowl must be special.]
Remegeton already had the bowl he wanted.
[Even though I was buried here, I was hearing the damn voices of this continent. And I know what names they shout.]
That’s right,
[Aslan. All I could hear was his name.]
The name I heard even on this terrible floor, Aslan.
Remegeton wanted to have his body.
[Bring Aslan here. I will take his soul and use it for my great cause.]
Tercana said with a sinister smile.
“Are you saying Remegeton can kill Aslan?”
[Nothing on this earth can deny my power. No matter how great a reputation a human named Aslan may have built up, in the end he is just a shabby human being in front of me.]
“Aslan is not an ordinary human being. He is the embodiment of Rahal, and all races on the continent praise him as Rahal.”
Then Remegeton burst out laughing.
[Rahal? Aslan? It sounds like it doesn’t sound like words.]
“Are you saying it’s not Rahal?”
[Rahal fought a great battle with me and lost a lot of his power. In the end, he couldn’t kill me and just sealed me here. He probably died a long time ago, or he’s asleep somewhere on the continent.]
This was new information.
And the reliability was very high.
Because this comes from Remegeton, who fought Rahal himself.
[By the way, he has already regained his strength, and it also appeared in a human body? It’s nonsense. If Rahal had really come to life, I would have felt his presence. But I can’t feel anything. Therefore, he is not Rahal.]
Aslan wasn’t actually Rahal.
That in itself was a shock.
“Then who the hell is Aslan?”
[I understand that you are a human with special powers. He is enough to be my vessel.]
“It’s not easy to get him here. Aslan is the strongest man on the continent, and the Babylonians were busy running away without harming him.”
Remegeton let out a short sigh.
[I saw it in the memories of the Babylonians I absorbed. Aslan, the power he possesses. Although he wields power similar to Rahal’s light, he is by no means a god. He’s just an insignificant human being. I will lead him here.]
“Yes?”
[Aslan will have no choice but to surrender to Remegeton’s power. No. The races of all continents will be like that.]
Black demonic energy began to rise from the coffin.
And it got out of the cave and headed for the continent.
* * *
The great statue, Caryldium.
When I said that I would take it, Bruen broke into tears.
But I couldn’t bear to say no.
How dare you disobey the emperor’s order?
‘This is the taste of power.’
Whoops. I let out a sinister laugh inwardly.
How can you eat something this expensive?
‘The question is whether I can really save this.’
My life force.
Could it really bring something like this to life?
It has already been proven through the small statue that cried that it can give life to such a statue.
If so, wouldn’t it be able to demonstrate its power enough for this?
Just as he raised countless flowers and trees in that wasteland.
“Your majesty. It would be difficult to use a portal to transport such a large statue to its home country. It is so large that it cannot enter the portal, so the only way to escort it is to direct the knights.”
Horace didn’t seem happy about taking the statue to the castle.
Because the portal was so large that it was impossible to use it, and moving the knights seemed to require an enormous amount of manpower.
Even the distance from here to home country was far, so I didn’t know how long it would take.
Then, as if he had been waiting, Bruen listened to him.
“You’re right. Even this statue is made of Asriltadium. Asraltadium weighs twice as much as steel. Moving this will not be an easy task. No. It is impossible.”
This was the reason why Asril Stadium was not used well as a weapon or armor.
Weighs twice as much as steel.
So there are cases where it is applied thinly to the armor, but in that case, it was better to use armor made of other materials.
However, it can be a very good choice if you are using it to build other facilities, not for armor and weapons.
However, since the amount of harvest is very low, it will cost a lot of money to do so.
“Ashriltadium boasts the highest durability on the continent. And it is the most beautiful substance. It is only harvested here, in Arentia. I will transfer that special resource to Your Majesty’s home country and make a new statue for you.”
It seemed like Bruen was somehow trying to prevent him from taking that dragon statue.
But the more I did, the more it only fueled my bluff.
“Did you say impossible?”
All of a sudden, Bruen took out the word that this bravado hated the most.
“How dare you talk about the impossible in front of Jim.”
“Yes… Yes?”
“Jim hates the word impossible. If it doesn’t work, it’s our empire, and I’m Aslan. But do you dare to doubt me?”
Bruen met my eyes, swallowed dryly, and quickly lowered his head.
“Cow, I apologize, Your Majesty! My, please save me! Joe, you can take any statue. Well, we will generously support the manpower!!”
“Not required.”
“Omg.”
I had no intention of transporting this colossal statue home.
As Horres feared, it requires an enormous amount of manpower.
Then the costs incurred at that time would not be trivial.
I can’t just spend my precious money on a statue like this.
“Bruen.”
“Yes! Yes, Your Majesty.”
“Do you think your art is alive?”
Bruen pondered and replied.
“I think the soul of an artist dwells in it. Isn’t that the life of art?”
“That’s just an abstract answer, isn’t it? Imagine what it would be like if real life lived in your artwork. That is what really breathes and speaks to you.”
“That······. It’s every artist’s dream. A dream that will never come true.”
“Is it?”
I put my hand on the Caryldium, which was so high that I couldn’t see it properly.
“Then see. Jim will make the dream you artists so eager to achieve come true.”
Dig-!!
The life force that ran through my hand spread throughout the Carydium statue.
It was a combination of momentary supernatural power, and it was such a strong fetal movement that the ground shook.
Yet,
Wooddeuk-!
“Ka-Chalildium…!”
“Ooh, it moves!!”
The people gathered in the square all shouted in surprise.
With their shouts, Chalildium moved its stiff body.
I, too, stared blankly at the ecstatic sight.
Isn’t the huge statue made of this beautiful material moving its body as if it were stretching?
It seemed that the whole city was shaken by its majestic figure and the intense power that radiated from it.
[I am the king of the sky…]
Without stopping there, Chalildium let out that solemn voice.
[The strongest of all dragons, Chalildium.]
I wondered what if this guy could make cute sounds with his big size and sharp look like the small statues that used to chatter, but it seemed like a useless concern.
I don’t know because I’m just using this power, but the personality and power of the statue seemed to change depending on the artist’s will and will.
[Kwaalala-!!]
Hear that awesome roar.
Is that the king of the skies, the strongest of dragons, Caryldium?
I’m already curious about how the gold and red dragons will react when they see that.
‘Even his body is made of Asriltadium.’
It’s body is made of the strongest defense material, and even the magic defense is so good that most people won’t be able to catch that dragon.
‘You mean that’s my subordinate now?’
The red dragon, the gold dragon, and now the Asriltardium dragon I created with my own hands.
There was nothing to be afraid of anymore.
With those three, you wouldn’t have to worry about air battles, and you wouldn’t have to worry too much about things on the ground.
In a word, should I say they are automatic hunters?
It was to create another such valuable resource.
Dragon too!
What a dragon.
‘Ruler. Hurry and come to this father.’
It was a time when he was fantasizing about how cool he should be raised.
[What is it? These disgusting beings.]
Something was going wrong in the atmosphere.
[Why is this great body with you?]
He was an arrogant fellow.
Couldn’t that guy have Aslan’s traits mixed in?
“We sculpted you, and His Majesty Aslan breathed life into you. Don’t you know that?”
At Bruen’s words, Chalil Dium snorted.
[Do lower beings make me? You sound funny. Do you dare to say such a thing and think you can survive? I am the strongest on this continent, Chalildium. It is an existence that you cannot dare to look at!]
Uh uh what. It shouldn’t be like this.
[For the crime of scorning the King of Heaven, I will wipe you all out of this place!]
Chalil Dium flapped his wings and began to gather its power.
Asril tardium, which made up the whole body of the beast, emitted an intense light.
‘Crazy.’
No. I tried to breathe life into it, but it turns out like this?
It was then.
[A new creation was born. As a result, a new skill is granted.]
In the middle of this rush, an information window appeared in front of my eyes.
[Creator’s Authority]
-When a new life is born with the power of life, that being must obey the Creator.
– You will be able to give orders to the life you created with the power of life.
What?
So you’re saying I can give orders to that cocky bastard?
“Stop-”
Before I could even think about it, my mouth opened.
“Stop fooling around and come down.”
Then Caryldium laughed.
[Whoops. It’s like I’m going to listen to a human’s orders… Omg!]
Kwaaang-!!
However, contrary to that cheeky voice, his body fell to the floor.
“How dare you defy the Creator who breathed life into you.”
I put my foot on top of his head and pressed it hard.
“Do you want to die?”
Then Caryldium, who was glaring menacingly at me,
[······Ah, no.]
The tail was quickly lowered.
