83. Heirs
[Haam, good night.]
I have risen to the surface of consciousness. It was as light as washing the body. It seems that the ceremony has certainly ended successfully.

To see my long, sharp blade feel again. Floating in the air, I slowly descended as the power of the congratulations weakened.
“Carbal!”
[Woah, long time no see.]
But before I fell to the ground, Cream ran quickly and snatched me up. I calmly tried to say hello to Cream, but hesitated when I saw his face.
[What, you. What’s wrong?]
I wondered why he was wearing a hood gloomily. Where else did you sell your eye color? When I was puzzled, Choco involuntarily got angry.
“Whoops, that damn sword is real!”
“Choco.”
“Oh, okay. Master.”
In the end, the cream came out and calmed down the chocolate. I don’t understand why they do that. But before I could ask a question, Scheerpen came between us.
[Okay, you’re probably feeling the best, but the repairs are over.]
[As expected!]
I felt a sense of liberation, as if I had been freed from long-term restraints, no matter how long I had spent as a handle. It also meant that those moments made me feel frustrated.
It’s been decades since I haven’t been active on the ground in a human body right now. The stress accumulated during that time was relieved by killing other creatures, but the handle could not be used as a weapon.
Besides me, Cream also has a holy sword, doesn’t it? It’s embarrassing, but in fact, in order for Cream to fight properly, it was more suitable for him to hold the holy sword than me.
“Oh, there is no need to worry about that.”
[Hmm?]
[It’s because I gave you various special effects while repairing it this time. That’s right! hahahaha, the hero over there will explain.]
Scherefen, who was trying to boast about his research achievements, was quietly crushed by Cream’s glare. Cream smiled slightly and put her hand on my doorknob.
“Look.”
[Hey, wait. What are you doing now…!]
And the cream immediately aroused divine power. Did you die right after repairing it? I was ready to scream, but soon I was taken aback by the situation that followed.
The holy fire surrounds me and burns. But despite the clearness of the aura surrounding me, I felt no pain. All I feel is a slight discomfort.
My darkness is still at odds with Cream’s light, but the two different types of power have quietly canceled out and faded instead of causing a violent reaction as before.
[This is the alternative…]
[hahahaha! This is the work of a woman who has seen it all. How is it, don’t you respect me?]
[No, does this make sense?]
No matter how much witchcraft is a kind of power that draws on the laws of another world, there is a certain degree to it. Divine power is originally a power based on the gods, although it is controlled by the hands of mortals.
The only thing that can change its nature is the intervention of a divine being equal to or higher than that of a god. Of course, the elder lich is also a transcendental person with a high status.
She is also a being who has not escaped the bonds of mortality. How?
[hahahaha, don’t get me wrong. No matter how much I am, it is impossible to directly touch the authority of a god.]
[Then?]
[With just a little help from the hero-chan… It’s just that you’ve made some use of your original nature. I’m saying this because you seem to be misunderstanding, but you’re not completely free from divine power. It’s just that it’s not affected by the hero’s power.]
[Does that make sense?]
[What else doesn’t make sense? Isn’t the most absurd thing about your very existence? The flesh of a god, your soul that corrupted Solium, the supreme metal.]
Hmm, if you put it that way, there’s nothing more to say. The reason why I came to this world and the status window that suddenly appeared are also full of questions. There are so many things in the world that cannot be explained.
[Well, from your point of view, no matter what, as long as the results are good, isn’t it enough? Anyway, my friend will no longer suffer from the hero’s light, so I’m satisfied.]
Speaking like that makes me want to dig again… Hey, let’s stop I don’t know if it’s harmful to me, but first of all, I didn’t feel that way.
There was no change in my mental world to the extent that I couldn’t believe that such a ridiculous change had occurred. At most, the bond with Cream became a little stronger?
[That’s right, so your eyes…]
[Now, now. You guys have accomplished your goal too, so let’s leave. No one will welcome any guest who wants to stay in the owner’s house forever.]
However, because Shire Pen noticed us, I had to leave the studio without even getting a proper answer. Well, I’m glad that one thing seems to be doing well.
I looked at Shirepen’s face for the last time before leaving the workshop. The nobleman who arbitrarily gave me a new life, the heir who lived a thousand years after the fall of the ancient kingdom.
Although I hate her in many ways, I am still satisfied with the life she gave me as a sword. In the future, I will live in the middle of people again, and she will live in a remote area where no one can reach.
We wouldn’t see her again if it weren’t for her special circumstances where we had to meet her and the special environment that her master was her warrior. Probably, in the future.
[To live well in the future.]
I said my last goodbye to Shire Pen with a heart full of regret. It wasn’t until after a long time had passed that I realized that it was a very inappropriate word to say to the undead.
*
[Yah!]
The Sunset Mountains were truly a paradise for all sorts of monsters.
Thanks to that, I lost weight for the first time in a long time. Cream, whose eyes were shattered but whose arms were intact, carried me with one hand and performed all sorts of magic and miracles with the other hand.
The terrifying bombardment of divine power exploded, and all I had to do was suck in the souls of those tenderly grilled flesh. Monsters really came along endlessly.
[But what about the holy sword?]
A guy who would normally have a seizure because of my reaping his soul has been quiet today. The moment she avoided the monster’s tentacle strands, Cream made a sad expression.
“Ah.”
However, contrary to that expression, her body reflexively fired a rounds kick at the body of the Tentacle that attacked her. His eyes and body burst open, and Cream pulled her body back.
Immediately after, Cream pounded the holy sword, and a suppressed mental wave burst out from the sheath of the holy sword with the sound of something cracking.
[Hero!]
“Surprised, hey.”
It was so powerful that it was incomparable to the usual holy sword, and even the monsters around it hesitated. However, regardless of the Holy Sword’s reaction, Cream swung me lightly and cut down three monsters.
[Hero, whoo…]
The first momentum was colorless, the holy sword that served the warrior like the sky did not dare to argue with Cream, and only sighed deeply. What happened to you seeing you exiled like that?
[Calm down, if you think about it, isn’t it because of your cube? Rather, it seems that the hero enjoyed the lenient treatment.]
[Ugh, how do you know when you weren’t there at the time?]
While the two holy swords clashed, Cream continued to slash through the enemies. Certainly, the monsters in the Sunset Mountains had high-quality souls that would satisfy even my picky taste buds.
Hmm, but I still feel a bit bloated. It’s been quite a while since I couldn’t eat a human soul. To my taste, human souls are like rice, and monster souls are like snacks.
[Let’s do something like bounty hunting when we return to the city later.]
No matter how delicious the snacks are, you can’t eat all three meals with them, right?
Cream nodded slightly and continued the battle. I was distracted by chatting, but then I noticed something strange. Wait, the battle isn’t over yet?
The floor was already covered with bodies and blood. No matter how ferocious the monsters in this place are, it’s time to step back. The current guys were fighting to the death as if they had met a life-or-death enemy.
Yes, just like when Choco existed as an imperfect saint. But, has Choco finished his awakening? Just in time, she was seen throwing her fist at her monsters swarming.
“Yap!”
Contrary to her cute spirit, the body of the monster that was hit directly by her power could be seen exploding. Shards of her lightning bolted in all directions.
Soon after, the monster’s corpse fragments exploded and a powerful electric current swept all over the place. After she became a full-time saint, Choco was also incredibly strong.
– Name: Choco
– Race: Beast
– Ability: Body S+ Sense A+ Mind B-
– Attributes: Favor of the Stars (SSS) Mann?
– Status: Fighting spirit, evolving
As someone who opened the status window after a long time, I couldn’t help but admire it. Even though this world record is written as if it were a game, it is not actually a game.
Repeating a certain action does not mean that the stat or attribute level goes up. The important thing is realization, extreme change. And it was clear that her awakening as a saint had a significant impact on Choco.
Even so, Choco’s fighting style itself hasn’t changed much. Choco fought, trusting only her innate physical abilities and her ferocity, and relying on her instincts. She is the exact opposite of Cream, who has reached the pinnacle of technology.
“I think my hand taste has gotten worse.”
[It can’t be helped, because your strength has grown that much.]
But she was strong enough to let out such ridiculous grunts in the middle of a fight. Whoops, someone shed bloody tears because her stats didn’t go up even after she bought and ate the elixir with a month’s salary.
The more I do, the more I doubt this situation. Not one monster that can’t be resisted, but two gather together and rampage, but don’t those monsters attack while being swept away like flying flies? Not normal.
Letting Cream swing me hard, I concentrated. Not only the sense of reality but also the inspiration is sharpened like a knife. Imaging was simple because I was a sword.
And.
[Cream!]
“Yes.”
My surface consciousness also reads Cream. The moment I sensed something, Cream quickly reversed itself and cut through the air. A blade infested with darkness cuts both the real and the spiritual dimension at the same time.
Something was cut off the tip of the blade. The moment the phase of the zero dimension was lost, the black slate fell in two pieces from the air.
Then, the monsters that were blindly attacking us stopped. The guys who seemed possessed by something wanted to shake their heads as if trying to come to their senses, but soon ran away.
[Aha, it looks like this has been caught in the works of unknown people.]
Slabs were also familiar. That’s the one Lucas used to control the space in the Dark Dungeon. Although the powers they embraced were different, their forms and storage methods were the same.
[Dark Church, is it you again?]
Of course I love to uncover the conspiracies of secret societies, but it’s still a bit strange to run into this everywhere you go, huh? It’s hard to see this as a coincidence.
From noble mtl dot com
······It may be really ‘coincidence’, but originally, all providence and destiny in this world are woven in the hands of gods.
“Tada! But you are wrong!”
But what is that idiot?
A bloody road full of monster remains. Cream, who was standing in the center, threw a bewildered look at the opponent who appeared from afar.
“No matter how much it is borrowed, we are very sad if you confuse the owner!”
[······ Devil Contractor?]
Sheep is a person wearing a pot, so it’s definitely fresh. He would have been mistaken for an ordinary fashion terrorist had it not been for the Yangeun pot, which was supposed to be his head, detached from his neck and floating in the air.
It was not the actual lamb pot that made up the head, but a chunk of silvery metal that looked just like it. As far as I know, there is only one seed that looks like such a grotesque twist on humans.
“That is correct!”
[This must be the realm of the Elder Lich, how? … No, no.]
Even if they borrowed the power of the beings of the other world equally, there was a huge difference between a shaman who only used them and a demon contractor who gave everything to them. As far as I know, the Shire Pen is the former.
Did she decide to turn into a demon contractor while she couldn’t see it? Even so, the momentum was not different from before. Well, actually, you don’t have to roll your head like this.
[Hyung wants to ask me something, but would you like to come a little closer?]
There is nothing more foolish than putting an answer sheet in front of you and thinking about an unsolvable problem.
Because of my soft and gentle tone, the sheep, who had been keeping their distance since before, stepped back even further. The reason we didn’t notice his approach so easily was because he was that far away.
But since he didn’t run away from us at all or appeared after the slate was broken, he seems to have a reason why he can’t leave here either, but then it’s simple.
[Cream? Go grab it.]
“Kyaaak! Don’t come closer!”
Before the human could turn around and run away, the new type of cream shot out like a beam of light.
