Chapter 147
Comparative Advantage (2)
[Uh huh? Where is it?]
Could it be that he still hasn’t completely recovered from the shock of hitting the floor with a swordsman during the day?
Unable to comprehend the situation, I looked at Yeriel, who was riding the ice.
Clearly, the glimpses of her past that I peeked into made me frown.
What kind of past do you have behind that innocent way of speaking?
‘Yeriel, what the hell are you hiding?’
By releasing some of her seals during the finals, she was able to use her powers for a while. And what I felt… … .
‘… … It’s a sword that stimulates people’s desires.’
The power she gives after being released from the seal must be sweet.
For those without power, it would give the person without power the sense of exhilaration of the endless supply of magical energy, and for those without talent, just holding her would give them the feeling of being able to wield the sword as they imagined it.
If I hadn’t seen her past, this is the sword I would have given back to Kanghyuk.
If I hadn’t experienced her overpowering power, it’s the sword I would have left so that Kang Hyuk could take a step forward.
However, the moment I saw her past, I felt it.
You should never leave this as it is. This kind of story was predictable to some extent because I was tired of watching it.
Worst case.
‘Enticing them to unseal them by tempting them with power.’
And the moment the seal is lifted.
‘Pung-. It must be the kind of thing that explodes and something pops out from the inside, bringing chaos to the world.’
I don’t know because I haven’t figured it out yet, but from my point of view, it’s a nuisance.
Even if I am interested in a new story.
I like to accept it in an orderly state, with everything I have to do right now… … .
… … Like this, starting with Chevalier, Lust, Gluttony, Ganghyuk, Anya, etc.
At the point where problems that need to be dealt with right away pop up one by one, we can’t just leave things as they are.
so that.
With strength in his left hand, he grabbed the sword sheath.
A gift received from the Lady of the Lake, who is presumed to be the incarnation of the world, when she left the 828th Parasitic World.
+
-[The restraints of the holy sword refined with starlight ??? Rank]
A sword sheath made by the ‘Lady of the Lake’ when making a sword to present to the king.
It was specially designed to control the power of a sword so powerful that it might destroy the world.
In Parasitic World 828, where her powers are spread all over the world, the owner of the restraining ball gains the following effects.
1. [I am not hurt, so I am invincible.]
2. [Because I do not age, I am not old.]
※It is a restraining tool specialized in sealing the power of the sword. The ‘sword’ designated as the target cannot be used by anyone unless the ‘owner of the restraint’ permits it.
※However, in a world without the divine protection bestowed by the Lady of the Lake, it is merely a seal that binds the sword.

Like the stars in the night sky, the white scabbard that endlessly emits soft light seems to be quietly waiting for my command.
The body of the sword sheath was wrapped around it with a thin chain that emitted the same light.
If there was a human form, I looked at Yeriel, who seemed like he would wrap his head around a headache, and at the scabbard waiting for something.
‘Did the Lady of the Lake give the greatest gift she could possibly give?’
Laughter leaked out of my mouth.
this is not a reward From the perspective of ‘The Lady of the Lake’, it would have been nothing more than a parting gift to me who strengthened the narrative unfolding inside her.
If not, it’s a souvenir that asks me to stop by my world once again.
In that sense, the scabbard was appropriate as a gift. No, it was not appropriate enough to know her sincerity.
Among the swords made by the Lady of the Lake, it is included in the ranks of masterpieces.
Although it was confined to that world, there was only one of the swords made by the Lady of the Lake that had such an effect and was worthy of leaving a name.
Excalibur’s scabbard.
It’s a pity for the girl who gave this to me, but I’m going to use it for another purpose right now.

Just in time, Yeriel, who had fully recovered his mind, looked at me and screamed.
[You, you?! Golden Sun?! Where is Hyuk going and why are you with me!?]
Without saying a word, I stood up from my seat, holding the scabbard in my left hand.
It is not that thick and fits perfectly in the hand and, befitting its reputation, the weight is hardly felt.
have you lost your memory?
For a moment, I felt a sense of difference in her innocent way of speaking.
Clearly, according to my memories, Yeriel was a human and seemed like the person who provided the clue to the destruction of her world… … .
… … How are you?
In case of any unknown danger, you can only be relieved by keeping the leash on.
No matter when or where something happens, you have to be able to deal with it.
Even if he might fall out with Kanghyeok over this, he has already come too far to turn back.
My strength is already enough to advance the story on my own.
“I will activate the ‘sacred sword restraint’.”
When I let go of the scabbard, it came to my mind and was placed in front of my face.
The restraint tool-sword sheath-that emits a soft light began to flicker little by little.
[you… … . What the hell are you trying to do?]
Did you notice the unusual atmosphere? Yeriel’s voice trembles slightly as she asks me.
But that doesn’t change my opinion.
He looked down at her, who was only a sword now, but who was once a human, with inorganic eyes.
“As a member of this world -Museion-, it is the right thing to do.”
[What is that… … ?]
Since this was just a restraint, not a seal, I didn’t feel the need to give her a lengthy explanation.
“The ‘subject’ is Yeriel.”
The chains wrapped around the scabbard’s body were dragged with a ‘ting’ sound and drooped toward the floor, then slowly came up and the end pointed to Yeriel on the bed.
[Hee-Ik-!!! Hey—no, Taeyang. Why don’t you clean up that nasty thing? If there is a misunderstanding, can it be resolved through dialogue?]
I shook my head and chanted at Yeriel, who was frightened at the swaying chains.
The tip of the scabbard that had been standing upright in front of me lies down towards Yeriel.
“Do it.”
[Wait—no!!!]
The chains stretched out in an instant and began to wrap around Yeriel’s crossguard.
[Kek, kek. What is this again-!!! Golden Sun!!!]
“It will take a while. No, it’s not harmful to you, so calm down.”
[Would you calm down if you were like that! hehehe!!! In the first place, some guy’s chain wriggles like that, really!]
The handle of Yeriel, who was rampaging along the road, was wrapped around with chains to the extent that there was no room left, and the chain, which had been loose, soon began to be pulled tight.
[This, this, do you think Hyuk will just watch this!?]
“Does not matter. No, even if it goes against Kanghyuk a little, I have to do it.”
– Tsar Tomb. Tsar Tomb.
The sound of chains clashing echoed through the room.
[Hey! It’s like a chain like this, hehehe!!! Oh, that can’t be!]
– Tsar Tomb. Tsar Tomb.
No matter what resistance Yeriel does.
[No, let’s talk! We must be doing this because there is a misunderstanding! A conversation will suffice. therefore-.]
– Tsar Tomb. Tsar Tomb.
Whatever you say.
– Tsar Tomb. Tsar Tomb.
slowly and little by little.
continues to pull
[This golden sun!!! Mr. Lee -.]
-Charleureuk!
After Yeriel’s death, the chain was pulled at once!
– Chalkang.
With that one word, Yeriel was sucked into the sheath.
Originally, the sword and scabbard are one set, so no matter how well-made the scabbard is, it is bound to go against the original sword.
The scabbard-restraint-fitted as if it had been fitted to her.
Except for the two chains that crossed and restrained Yeriel’s crossguard, which went all the way in at once, the other chains soon wrapped around the scabbard again.
[—Al… … ? uh, what?]
And Yeriel also calmed down, probably wondering why there was no limit to what he could say.
Seeing that, I grabbed my forehead.
“I told you. It’s not even harmful in the first place.” [That, is that so?]
It’s not a seal, it’s a restraint for control, so it can’t be harmful.
It would be difficult for her to feel strange unless she herself rushed to get out.
I took my eyes off her, who had finally calmed down, and wrapped the arondite in silk left over from the last time I used it.
There was no particular reason. Because I had to get ready to leave.
– Kang Hyuk.
I sighed as I saw the phone number on the screen of my smartphone lying on the floor.
after a while
Two swords sat at my waist.
* * *
The moment when the golden sun put Yeriel in the sheath.
Infirmary in the main building of the academy.
– Beep. pirik. pirik.
Rows of children with wounds from today’s final were lying on the beds in the infirmary, reminiscent of an eight-person room in a hospital.
Of course, Kang Hyuk was also included.
Bondi sleep is a time when the brain is resting, so it is normal that there should be no expression of a person who is asleep.
As if he was having a nightmare, Kanghyuk’s expression was frowned upon.
[Hyukah.]
Turn your head wildly to the left.
[Hyukah.]
His right hand gripped the bedspread firmly.
[Help me.]
“Huh-! Yeriel?!”
Kanghyuk, who stood up with his eyes wide open, exhaled a deep breath.
He wiped the area around his neck, covered in cold sweat, tore off the pad on his chest, looked around, grabbed his forehead, and sat down on the bed.
“Was it a dream… … ?”
Kang Hyuk, who repeatedly washed his face with both hands, saw a small drawer occupying a corner, various medical instruments on top of it, and the bed he was sitting on.
Lastly, curtains used as a substitute for partitions were all.
– Thurreuk.
With the sound of curtains being drawn, a doctor in white came into Kang-hyeok’s space, and after hearing a few stories from him, Kang-hyeok grabbed the note and his belongings from the drawer and hurriedly ran out of the infirmary.
The infirmary roster includes No, Chevalier, and Andrew. The list of team members who went into battle together today was posted.
Leaving that behind and running to the dormitory, the words he had just heard from the doctor rang in Kanghyuk’s ears.
‘Are the students awake? There was no major trauma, but I was worried because I couldn’t wake up for a long time.’
outside the main academy.
As soon as the glass door opened, the night air made me sweat cold and my whole body felt chilly.
Like Kang Hyuk’s heart.
‘Are you my sister? I heard that the young-looking student worries a lot. He left a note over there, so he asked me to tell him when you wake up.’
It runs by putting magic on its legs.
At the same time, he took out his smartphone from his pocket and started calling someone.
‘Your sword? hmm… … . ah! Strangely, the student who came to visit during the day was carrying two swords. It’s unusual, usually longswords of that length aren’t often used as dual swords.’
-Geum Taeyang.
It was the name that filled his smartphone screen.
Kang Hyuk, who completely escaped from the main building, arrived at a park near the dormitory before he knew it.
The weather is obviously mild, but his expression has gone frozen.
and.
-Are you Kanghyuk?
I heard the guy’s voice over the phone as he took Yeriel.
