Became a Third-Rate Villain in the Hero Academy chapter 251

251 – Ghost Song (1)

Demon Sword.

Unlike other artifacts, little information is known about this item, even in this work.

Right now, even the name [Demon Sword] Was only known to players through the system.

Of course, I also don’t know much about the effects of [Demon Sword].

There are only two positive effects that I know of.

The ability to burn evil beings such as devils and handle weapons is drastically improved.

It is safe to say that all other effects are negative.

A representative negative effect is mental pollution.

As Maximin also warned, [Demon Sword] Pollutes the user’s mind.

From what I saw in this work, the level of mental contamination was so intense that it couldn’t be stopped by the mental protection artifact I was currently wearing.

─Job… What… Be… Hand it over… Run away…

This is because it constantly spits strangely broken language at the user.

In some ways, it can be seen as an ego sword, but that is only when communication is possible between two people.

It was impossible to block the mouth of such a [Demon Sword] (Whose existence is questionable). They talk about it for 24 hours a day.

That’s why Neike, whose head was full of flowers, suddenly became fierce and violent after using this sword.

──But.

Even putting that aside, the effect is so overwhelming.

Even if just one intermediate demon pops out, the entire country is in shambles, but when Neike was a student at the academy, he single-handedly defeated an intermediate demon with only a [Demon Sword].

‘The mental contamination bothers me a bit, but…’

In terms of power-up, it is clear that taking [Demon Sword] Now will not be compared to any other means.

Tut-beok, step-beok──

I walked towards [Demon Sword] As if possessed.

At that time, I heard Mak Si-min’s voice from behind me.

“Theo! Don’t get too close! And never touch it!”

I nodded and walked closer to the [Demon Sword].

‘Hmm?’

However, the appearance of [Demon Sword] Is subtly different from what was seen in this work.

In this work, the sword body was a bit longer and thicker, closer to a long sword, but now it is closer to a rapier.

While thinking about that, I was observing the [Demon Sword] From a distance of about five steps away.

─This is my first time seeing you. Judging from his appearance, he doesn’t seem to be a child of the Chalon family.

“!”

A woman’s voice was heard for the first time. Unlike his young voice, his tone was noble.

‘Who is it?’

I looked around, but there was only Maksimin around. It feels like a buzzing sound in my head. I don’t know where the voice is coming from.

Either way, the woman’s voice continued to be heard.

─Hmm? Did you really hear my voice? Hey! Here, here!

‘No way.’

I fixed my gaze on the [Demon Sword].

─Oh my, my. He must have really heard me! Oh my god, what is this…

······It seems to be the correct answer. The one talking to me now was that [Demon Sword].

However, you never know what will happen if you get closer.

‘Let’s observe a little more.’

The information I knew about [Demon Sword] And the current situation were quite different.

There is nothing wrong with being careful.

In fact, that [Demon Sword] Was something close to a monster that changed the naive Neike’s personality 180 degrees.

I stood where I was and stared at the [Demon Sword] Without moving a single step.

Then [Demon Sword] Kept talking.

─Hmm, that’s a handsome kid over there. I’m not a suspicious person? Really! My name is Nay.

“······.”

─Oh, it might look a little suspicious. That’s because it’s the first time since I was trapped inside this sword that I’ve seen someone who can hear me… And I’m so happy.

“······.”

─If you could hear my voice, would you wave your hands up?

Instead of waving both hands upward, I crossed them to make an ‘X’.

[Demon Sword]’S voice became louder.

─I can hear it, I can really hear it! Well, maybe I like this job. This really happens to me too… Hey kid. By any chance, what year is it now?

I raised my finger and wrote ‘Imperial Year 504’ in the air.

[Demon Sword] Was silent for a moment, then spoke again.

─Ah… So much time has passed. More than 300 years have already passed since I was imprisoned by this sword. The world has completely changed. Hey, but you can’t talk?

I shook my head.

─Then, would you like to talk to me? Or, you can just pick me. He’ll probably get picked out. In the first place, even if there were 10 more chains like this, they couldn’t bind me. Anyway, I think I should definitely pick some up if possible. I don’t know when I’ll meet someone who can listen to me again…

At that time.

“Theo! What are you doing now! Could it be that I am possessed by ‘that’!”

Maximin ran from far away and grabbed me from behind, throwing me away from the [Demon Sword].

I spoke to Mak Simin, who had a shocked expression.

“No, Sir Maximin. “They kept talking, so I was listening to what they were saying.”

“······I almost got into big trouble. Don’t think of it as a conversation. Don’t even try to interpret it. “When I first caught it, I heard a strangely broken voice, so I had a hard time trying to interpret what it meant, but in the end, I ended up having a lot of mental trouble.”

Instead of answering, I was lost in thought for a moment.

‘The voice wasn’t strangely broken…?’

There was no need to even interpret the words. It all made sense as soon as I heard it.

About 300 years ago, I don’t know why, but a young woman was trapped inside that sword.

My head was spinning.

Soon, a plausible hypothesis occurred to me.

‘The voice of [Demon Sword], Which is interrupted by others, seems to be heard clearly by me for some reason.’

I explained the voice of [Demon Sword] I heard and the hypothesis to Maximin.

After hearing my story.

Maximin narrowed his eyes at me.

“Theo, I know you don’t talk nonsense, but… It’s hard to believe. ‘That’ is an artifact that existed in the Chalon family for over 200 years. No one has ever heard the full voice of ‘that’. Everyone said they heard a strangely broken voice. “But it’s hard to believe that you, who are not from the Chalon family, heard the voice of ‘that’.”

It was a plausible logic.

‘I almost convinced you.’

But I can’t back out of here.

From the beginning, I was prepared to suffer from mental pollution and tried to take the [Demon Sword].

However, given the circumstances, negative issues have largely disappeared.

Of course, the positive effects may have been greatly lost, but it was worth a try.

······No. You just have to try.

I spoke after taking off all the mental protection artifacts I was wearing.

“Give me just one chance to vote, Sir Maximin. I’m not sure why, but I definitely felt it. ‘That’ wants me now. He said he doesn’t care about the chains that bind him. I need strength. “I want to fix the future of the Balderk family with my own hands.”

* * *

Maximin calmly stared at Theo.

‘I will correct my family’s future… At that young age.’

Well, I was a bastard. I was a bastard.

They say that those who go beyond warriors and are called heroes have a taste for something, and this fits perfectly.

‘But I can’t let it come into contact with ‘that’.’

There is a possibility that Theo is lying, and who will be responsible if something goes wrong?

Even if you protest that you did it because you wanted to, other people will never think that way.

However, there was a determined will in Theo’s eyes.

Normally, I would never allow this, but

“······Yes. Give it a try, Theo. But as soon as I can’t pull it out, I’ll take you away from ‘that’.”

I decided to give it a chance.

······You probably won’t be able to pick it.

The magic chain that binds ‘that’ is a legendary artifact given by the Pope of the [Church of Light].

This is a sacred object that was also used to subdue mid-level demons during active duty.

“Thank you, Sir Maximin.”

As soon as Theo answered, he immediately turned his back and walked towards ‘it’.

At the same time, Maximin also bowed his back and took a ready stance to run out. When Theo can’t pull ‘it’ out, he drops it right away.

However.

What was expected did not happen.

“Huh…?”

Mak Si-min’s mouth opened, and his eyes grew as big as if they were about to explode.

At the end of those eyes was Theo, who had pulled out ‘it’ and was holding it.
