120. I am your master now!
“This, this…is this a real divine sword?”
Andrew’s eyes sparkled.
I slowly reached my trembling hand toward my sword.
Apparently, for a knight who uses a sword, the new sword was something like a dream existence.
A legendary sword that appears one by one in each epic of a hero passed down through oral tradition.
Such divine swords used to be described as having mystical powers.
However, there was no way to confirm whether all of those swords actually existed or not.
Swords that are known to have too much latent power in the stories handed down, or that have never been witnessed, were rather thought to be products of imagination.
One of those swords was the new sword in my hand right now, Mortenon.
By the way.
Like beans sprouting in a drought.
A sword that was thought to not even exist, like Mortenon, actually appeared.
like right now
Andrew, who knew the legend of Mortenon, approached like a zombie as if possessed by something.
“I-I also heard the story of Mortenon’s hero, and it was the first time I picked up a sword… This, this…!”
Right before he grabbed my sword.
baek!
Orhel hit Andrew’s head.
“Whoa! What, what is it?”
“Calm down. This is not yours.”
“Huh, huh!”
It was only then that Andrew seemed to realize what he was doing.
“I-I don’t know…”
Andrew barely came to his senses.
Mortenon’s sword was so beautiful that he lost his senses momentarily.
Because I was a bit frozen right now.
‘I-I didn’t expect this to roll in like this…’
* * *
When proceeding with Pao God’s main story as a mercenary class.
There is a case where a certain quest is triggered by breaking through the extreme probability.
If you do that, what you will get is this divine sword, Mortenon.
So, to be honest, I was aware of Mortenon’s existence.
I thought I wouldn’t get anything.
It was because there was no way to proceed to the specific quest of the mercenary class.
‘That’s because the mercenary class character needed the unique skills he had from birth.’
How can I intercept Born2B’s unique skill?
So I was giving up…
It’s rolling into my feet like this
Humkarian pointed to the Mortenon in my hand and opened his mouth.
“A sword with an invisible blade. That’s another nickname for Mortenon.”
Andrew crossed his arms and nodded.
“I’ve heard of it. If you see Mortenon sharpen his blade, you’ll be cut!”
At Andrew’s words, Orhel tilted her head.
“What? Is there such a thing?”
“Didn’t you know? This is a really famous sword? I saw this story in a book and fell in love with it, so I started wielding a wooden sword for the first time.”
“I’m not really curious.”
“Eh. Why? Please be curious!”
“I don’t like it. If you’re curious, will alcohol come out? Will meat come out?”
“Chit……”
Andrew pouted his lips and looked at the sword again.
“But it looks rather ordinary, doesn’t it?”
exactly.
If you didn’t know, Mortenon might have misunderstood as a cheap sword.
It was a shape that had only the necessary shape.
Besides, the color was also black, so it felt more inconspicuous.
However, Humkarian raised his index finger and waved it with an expression as if telling him not to say something he didn’t know.
“A new sword… why do you think it’s a new sword?”
“Yes? Why is it a new sword… that’s because it’s a good sword? Isn’t it like that?”
“If it’s that simple, it’ll just be called a great sword. Just like the sword you wear around your waist.”
“Clothes…! Do you recognize this sword?”
“Don’t ignore the blacksmith’s eyes. It’s been 300 years since I’ve seen it like this.”
“Four, three hundred…!”
You’ve had a lot more experience than I thought.
“You’re much younger than I thought!”
I couldn’t help but laugh at Andrew’s words.
What kind of thoughts pop up in that moment?
Anyway.
Humkarian smiled as well.
“It’s been a while since I’ve laughed. Hahahaha!”
After the family members were annihilated by the fire-devouring shadows.
He never laughed
‘At times like this, being sly like Andrew is helpful.’
because I can’t
It was something only Andrew could do in this place.
Thanks to that, Humkarian looked at me with a slightly relaxed face.
“And you too. You lied a little? No. You didn’t say anything at all.”
“……I?”
“Yes. The flame of the phoenix. The flame of yours. Not only the spirit king’s power, but also the phoenix’s power was mixed.”
“……!”
That was a point I hadn’t even noticed.
Humkarian frowned at my expression and asked again.
“Didn’t you know?”
“I didn’t know.”
“Heh heh, true. I thought I was trying to trick you again. One! You can’t fool my eyes. Huhahaha!”
Humkarian laughed heartily.
I’ve never seen him before, but… that’s probably his real face.
He asked me with a smile on his face.
“They said they wanted to go fight the fire-swallowing shadow with you. But I felt it while fighting Rebecca. I did, but the difference in skill between a blacksmith and a real knight is definitely different.”
Meanwhile, a bit of bitterness built up on his smile.
“So my conclusion. I do my job, and you do yours. That would be best. That’s how I made my decision.”
Still, his eyes were filled with anger.
“Instead, please fight with that sword. With the shadow that devours fire. And with the giants fooling around behind it!”
He through a new sword.
He had surrendered his will to me.
The price of the lives of family members.
The weight of the sword in my hand.
It seemed a bit heavier.
And I decided to accept this weight.
* * *
“But this divine sword is different from other swords. The sword itself chooses its owner.”
I pondered his words.
“Choose your master, la…”
“If the sword is not recognized, the new sword will not show its true brilliance.”
“then……”
“It’s just a slightly sharper sword. Mystical abilities can’t be used.”
this is embarrassing
With the mercenary class, I was able to use Mortenon’s power well…
‘I’m in a different class right now, is that possible…?’
I couldn’t tell.
Humkarian continued talking with a slightly worried look.
“I believe in the wonderful skills that Lord Rohan showed me. To be honest, I don’t know what it is like to be recognized by a sword. I can’t talk about this sword. And…”
As Humkarian paused, I looked at him questioningly.
“Keuk… That’s why, even if it’s a Divine Sword, if there’s no record of exactly what kind of ability it has, it might be difficult to draw out its original power.”
At that, Andrew slammed his palm with his fist.
“Ah! I’ve heard of such a thing. Some royal family treasures, new swords, just rot because they don’t know how to use them…!”
“It’s just such a case. But unfortunately… this Mortenon also doesn’t have a special record left.”
Andrew nodded.
“It was the same when I saw it in the book. The invisible blade… It was all vague expressions, so I couldn’t understand it.”
“It’s like that. The knowledge I know is not too different.”
No worries about that part.
‘I know.’
Everyone had worried faces.
I didn’t care at all about that aspect.
There is only one thing I care about.
Will the sword really recognize me?
That was all.
And to check this…
‘It’s probably the fastest way to try it yourself.’
I grabbed the handle of the sword.
The cold taste was excellent.
As if it was specially made to suit my hand.
And pull with a little force.
Srrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr.
The cool yet cool sound of the blade pierced my eardrums.
“Oh oh……!”
Andrew involuntarily exclaimed in admiration.
I was about to sound the same.
That much, I could feel that the blade was standing properly just by that sound.
My pupils stared directly at the exposed blade.
‘This… the momentum isn’t a joke, is it?’
Even though it is a lifeless knife, I felt as if the blade was trying to devour me.
You really need to keep your mind straight…
“Yumma! Why are you losing your mind?”
“Ugh!”
In the meantime, Andrew seemed to be possessed by the sword again.
‘It’s a real bastard, this bastard…’
Andrew is also quite talented.
I gripped the sword tightly.
Woo woo woo!
“Hey, is the sword ringing?”
Andrew was taken aback.
Others also couldn’t hide their surprised expressions.
However, I couldn’t afford to pay attention to anything else.
In order to completely master this sword, it seemed that it would be difficult to distract myself.
‘Where……you win, or I’ll try to win.’
I hold the sword I hold
I turned my body slightly.

Just in time, I saw a huge rock in front of me.
The distance wasn’t close.
If you don’t jump, the distance that the blade can’t reach.
It was a position that would be difficult if the length of the blade did not double.
‘But this is Mortenon!’
I put my feet in place and stood there.
Hwaaak!
He swung his sword as if cutting through the air.
OK.
squeak.
A rock in the distance had been cut away!
Andrew, seeing the sight, shouted.
Orhel shook his head as if he was dumbfounded.
“This, how can it be…! The blade definitely didn’t reach!”
“I can’t believe it…is this an invisible blade? It’s amazing…”
Grendel, still unfamiliar with the sword, asked while rolling her eyes.
“What happened? Then did you receive the recognition of the new sword?”
At that, I raised my eyebrows slightly.
I could feel it.
‘okay. Now I am your master!’
That Mortenon recognized me.
Humkarian, who was watching the scene, laughed.
“Heh, heh heh…… I’m not just saying, it seems like my master is right.”
* * *
Tap, tap!
with the sound of a bonfire burning.
[There is light, but shadows are cast.
Shadow, swallow the fire.
The King of Shadows, who swallowed fire himself at the call of the giant, created a deeper and darker darkness.
By accepting with mercy even those who dare to disobey the king, and building the kingdom of shadows.
Raise an eternal kingdom and enjoy immortality!
All fear and worship the King of Shadows.
And… give up.]
Let Andrew read the last sentence.
Orhel replied, rubbing her ear canal with her little finger.
“What bullsh*t is that?”
“I don’t know. I just read what’s left in the literature.”
Orhel picks up some well-roasted boar meat.
“Want some?”
reached out to me
“Thank you.”
I accepted it and took a big bite.
The savory gravy filled my mouth.
It just felt ripe.
“Um. Then where should I eat?”
Then, Orhel picked up one of the grilled mushrooms in front of him and threw it into his mouth.
“Ku! After all, vegetarian food is the best!”
he mumbled.
“Then what is it? The shadow that devours fire is the king?”
“If you look at the other details beforehand… He was originally the king of that kingdom. He dreamed of immortality, and then he fell in the eyes of the giants. And as a king, there are probably other shadows under him. It’s a shape.”
Orhel’s gaze now.
I headed for that royal castle that was lightly cast under the moonlight.
“Let’s see… Then this time, the enemy will fight the entire kingdom of shadows, right? Anyway, it’s not a game of scale.”
I also looked there.
“The kingdom of shadows…”
That place that seems to be waiting for us with its mouth wide open.
It was exceptionally cool and beautiful in black and white.
