Chapter 81 – The Hero of the Second Holy Sword
Father’s name is Seo Cheol-su.
He was a hero summoned from another world.
The first sight he encountered after being summoned was the golden waves of a dazzling sunset and a clock tower with a bell ringing across a splendidly stretched bridge. It is said that the eyes of numerous people, including the emperor of the time, who sat with the river behind him, gathered.
New language and somewhat unfamiliar appearance. It is said that the strange appearance of a different species that may or may not resemble the people of the previous world, but which occasionally catches the eye, first led to the absurd possibility that it might not be a normal Earth.
Who are they, where are they, and why are they here? Even if you leave aside such trivial questions, how on earth can you understand this world right away if you grew up watching something? That was always the question. This is a thought circuit that is difficult for me, even as a son, to understand.
Anyway, although my father couldn’t understand what they were saying at the time, he wrote down a text message prepared in advance and handed it to them, as if he already knew that they wouldn’t be able to communicate.
The text that was interpreted as ‘Take this.’ Was definitely English.
In a moment of bewilderment, someone suddenly made an unintelligible sound and handed something to him.
It was a sharp sword. It might have been more correct to say that the long, whitish blade was crafted for decoration rather than forged to cut something.
It is said that his father received the sword unexpectedly. I guess he didn’t think deeply about it. It probably only had the meaning of receiving something that someone had given to you.
There would have been no need to worry about such personal meanings as what the name of the sword was and what it meant to receive that sword.
That was all.
There were no complicated procedures.
This is how Seo Cheol-soo, the hero of the Second Holy Sword, was born.
The moment a sword was placed in his hand, everyone cheered and rejoiced at the appearance of the owner of the second holy sword, who appeared for the first time in a thousand years.
The value of the Second Holy Sword is noble.
A stubborn holy sword that did not carelessly choose its master, even in difficult and difficult times.
The new owner of the 2nd Holy Sword, which had been rejected not only by the magic swordsman who was said to be the best in the empire, but also by people from other worlds who were said to be highly suitable for the Holy Sword, was literally the first news of the Empire at the time.
If the title was simply ‘The Hero of the Other World with the Second Holy Sword Appearing in a Thousand Years’, it would have been nothing more than a heavy label that only hindered his growth. People’s expectations were soaring to the sky, and Seo Cheol-soo suddenly became someone who received insufficient expectations for being an ‘ordinary warrior’.
‘Ordinary Hero’……
Even if we discuss ‘ordinary’ based on heroes, we can say that they are already outside the normal category. The fact that they were standing on the front lines of the snowy field and fighting against beings created by the corruption of the goddess made them no different from characters in old fairy tales.
The weight of responsibility that was forcibly placed on the shoulders of Kim Cheol-soo, a rookie warrior who had to overcome even such standards, was by no means light.
A young man who was born in a somewhat peaceful world and grew up without the worry of being shot or accidentally killed in a fight on the street, except for the few martial arts he learned as a culture, he only enjoyed exercising as a hobby, and does not necessarily put people in the category. Even so, it was somewhat far from dismembering an opponent’s internal organs or crushing their bones with a cold weapon.
Even if it was not limited to the Second Holy Sword, it was not a responsibility and obligation that an ordinary young man could shoulder, and there was no reason or basis for it. The safety of a place that was not even his hometown, let alone his hometown or hometown, must have been of no concern from the beginning.
However, this fact was not that important to the people of the empire.
Only Seo Cheol-soo was summoned,
Just because Seonggeom chose Seo Cheol-soo,
He had to fight against monsters in the snowy field.
Such a simple, one-dimensional way of thinking was just an obvious proposition for the people of the empire at the time, and it was a fact that was also applied to past warriors without discrimination. Afterwards, reckless challenges continued until this concept was broken through the efforts of the 4th Holy Sword and the Chairman, and many new warriors were repeatedly thrown into enemy territory and mercilessly torn apart.
There was no time to adapt or learn swordsmanship. He said he provided appropriate supplies, but it was just luggage. Even children would have been able to understand that receiving gold, weapons, and other useless items would not mean much to those heading to the snowy fields.
“Jim finally sees the hero of the Second Holy Sword with his own eyes! hehehe, the goddess didn’t abandon us.”
At the time, the owner of the castle was a gray-haired old man who was suffering from old age and was barely surviving from day to day.
The body of his haggard, cold body in his later years was sturdy enough to be envied by any other magic swordsman, and his eyes shone with intelligence, but the vitality of his brain, which was gradually fading, flickered occasionally, reminding us of his age.
He was the father of the current emperor, that is, the grandfather of Princess Anastasia, and was able to become a famous soldier who left behind great achievements as the ‘Emperor who presided over the summoning of the Second Holy Sword Hero’, which was the last secret wish of his life. Although he was truly proud of Seo Cheol-soo and took great care of him, he was also an emperor who could not escape the category of an imperial citizen.
For them, the owner of the Holy Sword had to be an already accomplished hero.
For them, the Hero of the Holy Sword was a hero of reversal who could not be defeated.
Ignoring his true face hidden in fantasy, he arbitrarily overlaid it with an idol, and everyone was caught up in crazy expectations, saying that he was the man chosen by the Second Holy Sword for the first time in a thousand years.
It was clear that most of the brave warriors were unable to overcome the enormous burden and pressure and either fainted before they could spread their wings or were busy running away.
ㅡ What if a person named Seo Cheol-soo was ‘ordinary’?
If you look at the standard of normality, no matter what the standard is, Seo Cheol-soo was a person who could never be ordinary.

Coincidentally, the ‘hero’ chosen by the Second Holy Sword was someone who was beyond human in the truest sense.
He learned how to use a sword on the first day he was thrown into the snowy field.
As the week approached, he began to freely use his magical powers.
He learned magic from a party member who was learning magic, and mastered key combat magic in less than a month.
It didn’t take long for him to control the holy sword he had suddenly picked up.
What was the reason for fighting against the monster? There was no reason. He couldn’t have had any particular feelings about the empire he stayed in for three days.
For the empire? For the people?
For money and fame?
No, it wasn’t even a sense of duty, let alone sympathy.
The only connection is the four party members who accompanied Seo Cheol-soo under the emperor’s support. I guess I was just worried about the safety of the first friends I made while in an unfamiliar land.
Second Holy Sword Party. As for the party members, they were so luxurious that Seo Cheol-soo didn’t have to worry about them.
Starting with the emperor’s favorite princess, some of the most powerful people in the empire were appointed. The empire truly regarded him as a ‘complete warrior.’
“Cheolsu, do you see that house over there? Is the light on? “They’re probably blood relatives.”
“Blood relatives… ? “What?”
“Yes, the only intelligent beings living in the snowy fields outside the empire are blood relatives.”
“Then I guess that house over there is the headquarters of a blood relative.”
“… Blood relatives live sporadically. “It’s not the main base, I just happened to discover a blood relative living there.”
“You know a lot.”
“Chi… He didn’t say a word when I taught him magic. I learned it when I was in the imperial castle. Even if you look like this, you’re still a princess, right? “How about you, can I see you again?”
Leaving behind Charlotte, the princess who cleared her throat and said, “Ahem,” Seo Cheol-soo looked back at the party members and said briefly.
“I will go alone. “You guys get some rest.”
Then suddenly there was a knock on the front door of the mansion in front of me.
There was no way to stop him. No one could catch his speed.
It’s a situation where you can’t even ask what on earth you’re doing. After some time, a blood-related woman with wide eyes came out of the mansion and suddenly a conversation began between the two. The moment the tension that had threatened to break out in a big fight faded away, they suddenly disappeared into the mansion.
“……… What? Where are you going now?”
Just like that, two days have passed.
It is said that next to Seo Cheol-soo, who finally came out of the mansion after a long time, a silver-haired blood relative woman was smiling elegantly and wrapping her arms around him. She was the mother of Undine, a blood relative later known as Lady Disizu.
The first to rebel was Princess Charlotte.
“You’re going to go around with your blood relatives? It’s crazy?”
“It’s okay. “I win.”
“hehehe… It’s a coincidence. I get to travel with you humans. Nice to meet you. “My name is Undine and I am your lover from today.”
“What… kite… ?”
The moment the princess’s expression cooled, exclamations erupted from here and there. She cupped her face as if she felt sorry for the other party members.
Be that as it may, the two were busy teasing each other for the next few days.
“Wow, you buried it here.”
“hehehe, Cheolsu says he can’t do it without me.”
“The level of magic is amazing…. Yes? Are you saying it hasn’t even been half a year since you learned it? ? Oh my goodness… “You’re amazing.”
Undine unilaterally joined in, but Seo Cheol-soo did not refuse either. He had to watch such a scene from the sidelines for nearly half a year.
As the princess ground her teeth, her nerves were exposed, causing her pain.
When the other party members were tired from watching, it wasn’t until they reached the clan’s magic tower that the situation could be resolved to some extent.
As we arrived in front of the Magic Tower, Undine, who guided the party here, grabbed Seo Cheol-soo with a worried look.
“…… Although I say this, monsters are not controlled by blood relatives. Unlike brainwashing from the Empire, it is not derived from blood relatives. The current owner of the Magic Tower is my friend. “It would be heartbreaking if someone, even someone close to a bad relationship, died.”
“Don’t kill me?”
“That’s…… “
“I’ll have to take a look at the situation.”
With those words, he was launched into the magic tower.
At the end of the battle, which had finally arrived after stunning the blood relatives at an incredible speed, there was only one woman sitting there.
Seo Cheol-soo immediately thrust out his holy sword.
A short and simple sum.
That alone was enough.
After reaching the peak of the Magic Tower, the magic she deployed was broken and scattered, and her upper layer became distorted.
The first words Seo Cheol-soo uttered simply as he approached the owner of the magic tower who was heavily injured and buried in the rubble.
“It’s you. “A story about being the strongest among your blood relatives.”
“Crazy… young… What on earth are you doing with the human subject? “
She coughed up her blood and laughed bitterly. It is not every day or two that the empire’s warriors attack their blood relatives.
“Kill me, just. Don’t stare. “That’s what we came here for anyway.”
“Kill me?”
“Yes.”
“No, come to me and I will save your life.”
“Ha, help me? Are you kidding? What, you want to play with your body? Shut up. “If I’m going to be raped by a human, I’ll just bite my tongue and run away.”
She said that with a disgusted look in her eyes. She let out a soft laugh at the gaze of her hero, who was staring at her unable to control her body properly.
“Why, what? Do you suck? Go out and search. Asshole bastard. What a bastard called a hero… They suddenly come in and attack… All human babies are like that. Under. “Well, if you really want, you can at least take the corpse and rub the top of your dick.”
“Hmm……… “
Seo Cheol-soo looked at her carefully, and finally nodded her head.
“Then I will.”
