“… … !”
Ethan returned to reality with mild vertigo.
He still had fragments of the demon sword Velashtan in his hand.
‘It was broken in the last battle.’
Ethan remembered the time when the Holy Sword and the Demon Sword collided.
And until the light was entangled.
Unsurprisingly, the fragments of the demon sword were mixed with divine power and magical power.
The divine power felt from the fragments of the magic sword was enough to cause rejection by those familiar with magic.
A hundred years ago, the divine power from the holy sword Akran had remained in the fragments of the demon sword.
‘Even after such a long time, it’s awful. Because it’s not a normal sword.’
Otherwise, it would not have been called the Holy Sword.
Ethan looked around the fragments of the demon sword.
“I have been affected by the divine power for a long time, can I use it?”
Ethan frowned.
I found traces of Belashtan in all sorts of fuss, but it would be a disaster if I could not use the fragments of Belashtan now.
Ethan remembered Radane and grinded his teeth.
“Ignorantly counting the divine power. useless.”
It had to be down anyway.
Ethan drew magic from his jet-black eyes and carefully injected it into the fragments of the demon sword.
pounding!
“… … ?!”
It was amazing.
It felt like the fragments of the magic sword were pulsing as if my heart had stopped moving again.
“Well then.”
Ethan laughed happily.
‘If it was a demon sword that shook the continent, it should be this much.’
The curse that resided in the magical sword Velashtan was still there.
Nameless poison.
In order to cure Cynthia, who had been poisoned by the terrifying poison, the most terrible demon sword in the past was also needed.
‘Because we can’t let the clues to find the whereabouts of the Demon King die.’
Ethan turned back and left the ruined temple.
And headed to the palace.
* * *
“Hey!”
“Ahh!”
The servants in the corridor of the detached house screamed.
It was because of a man walking down the hallway.
His face and physique are too young to be called a young man and mature enough to be called a boy.
Pure white clothes unique to priests.
He was obviously a saint candidate of the Pars Church who came to Velium with the princess.
Strangely, the man was holding a fragment of a sword in his hand.
However, since the fragments of the sword were not so large, at first glance, it looked like they were just clenching their fists.
But blood was dripping from his hands.
drop. thump.
Blood dripped from his fingertips and fell to the floor.
But somehow the blood that fell to the floor spurted upside down and wet the sleeves of his white clothes.
It was a strange sight.
It was as if the fragments were constantly producing blood, and the blood was trying to eat the man’s arm.
“Hey!”
The startled servant fell on the grass.
The servant’s gaze turned to the man’s arm.
Then I saw something I had never seen before.
The blood vessels of the man’s forearm, seen through the gap in his sleeve, were moving as if a worm was wriggling.
“Suck!”
The surprised servant covered his mouth with his hand.
I was almost about to scream.
However, it rather caught the man’s attention.
The servant’s and the man in the priest’s uniform, Ethan’s eyes met.
‘Why, why are you looking at me? Are you trying to kill me?!’
The servant was gripped with the fear that he might die.
“… … ?”
But it was an illusion.
Ethan, who had created an atmosphere of fear with the smell of blood, passed the servant indifferently.
The remaining servant stared blankly at his back.
‘Hey, that’s the princess’s bedroom side… … ?’
Meanwhile, at that time, Ben was guarding the front of Cynthia’s bedroom.
At the screams of the servants, Ben looked at the hallway, puzzled.
Nyx, who had been looking for Ben on business, also turned his head.
“It seems to be screaming from somewhere.”
“I will come and take a look. Wait a minute… … .”
But Ben’s words did not continue.
They found Ethan walking towards them.
“Ethan?”
Ben and Nyx’s gaze fell down.
Blood was dripping from Ethan’s hand.
Knicks walked over to Ethan.
“Cow, why your hand?! Were you hurt?”
However, he was startled to see that the blood dripped from it, instead of accumulating, flowing backwards, dyeing his sleeves red.
Ethan ignored Nyx and walked over to the bedroom door.
Ben interrupted Ethan.
“What are you doing now?”
Ben swallowed dry saliva.
The energy emanating from Ethan was very dangerous.
It made me want to pull out the knife without knowing it.
Ethan looked at Ben indifferently and raised his hand.
Shh.
“… … !”
Ben stiffened in tension.
But, unexpectedly, Ethan just tapped Ben on the shoulder.
“I will not do anything to harm the princess.”
It was as if the superior was encouraging the inferior.
Feeling very strange, Ben wrinkled his face.
Meanwhile, Ethan went into the bedroom.
And approached the bed.
That was then.
Cynthia, who had been losing her mind, opened her eyes.
The blue eyes were not in focus.
Did he feel something ominous, or did he instinctively sense the crisis he was about to face?
It was a similar situation to when the two first met in New York.
Ethan warned Cynthia, who had just woken up.
“It may hurt a little.”
“… … ?”
Cynthia didn’t know what that meant.
Ethan brought the fragment of the sword in his hand to Cynthia’s wrist.
and poked it
* * *
Pot!
“Aww!”
Red blood splattered.
Cynthia moaned in pain.
“majesty!”
“Ethan?!”
Ben and Knicks ran astonished at what Ethan had done.
“How dare you try to harm your Majesty! Did you say that you would follow me to the Empire for this?!”
Sreung!
Ben rolled his eyes and took out his sword.
But Ethan didn’t budge.
He didn’t even look at Ben.
Then Ben threatened Ethan to live with his eyes shining.
Although he drew his sword in a hurry, he could not point the sword at the saint candidate.
“Get your hands off your body right now, Your Majesty!”
“Please wait a moment!”
At that moment, the Knicks blocked Ben’s front.
“Ethan must have a reason for doing this!”
Ben was absurd and refuted.
“You cut someone’s wrist, what’s the reason for that? Are you pretending to be the same priest?”
“That’s not it. I don’t even know what Ethan was thinking of doing that. But remember what he has done so far. As far as I know, Ethan is not the one to do anything that would harm His Majesty the Princess!”
There was no hesitation on Nyx’s face.
He nailed it one last time.
“I believe in Ethan.”
* * *
Ethan was deeply surprised by Nyx’s words.
It was unexpected support.
‘okay! Hold on like that!’
Occasionally, he was a strange guy who let his imagination run wild on his own, but Nix was also helpful at times.
He said that there are times when dog poop is also used for medicine.
Ethan fixed his gaze on the fragment of the demon sword he was holding in his hand.
pounding!
Finally, a weak dynamism was felt from the fragments of the demon sword.
Ethan grinned at the reaction he had been waiting for.
‘okay. This evil bastard can’t stand still.’
One hundred years ago, the Graven Continent was tumultuous because of this evil and bizarre existence.
Above all, this demon sword was very greedy.
It is known that he desires blood, but it was limited to the blood he wanted.
Unless it was an unavoidable circumstance, he refused to purify and insignificant blood.
The demon sword endlessly coveted only blood that could satisfy his desires.
Ethan knew it well.
So, as soon as he got the fragment of the demon sword, he grabbed it in his hand and fed it with his own blood.
The demon sword, which had been starving for a hundred years, was displeased and absorbed Ethan’s blood well.
And Ethan decided to use that reaction.
Ethan wounded Cynthia’s wrist with a fragment of the demon sword.
The magic sword did not stir for a while.
It was natural.
Cynthia had more magical powers than normal people, but it was nothing compared to Ethan with jet-black eyes.
‘He’s a starving guy, so he’ll struggle to find any way. Just as the roots of a tree are desperately growing toward the water source.’
So, what the fragments of the demon sword would cause was predictable.
pounding!
pounding!
The fragments of the demon sword identified a heterogeneous existence in the blood of Cynthia, who was not filled with s*x.
Nameless poison.
In other words, poison made from ‘the demon king’s blood’.
will find it
The fragments of the demon sword absorbed the blood of the demon king who had poisoned Cynthia, namely the nameless poison.
Like a leech, as if he wouldn’t leave anything behind.
And that was exactly what Ethan wanted.
‘okay. Even if Belashtan sees the blood of the Demon King, there is no way he can stand still.’
Ethan knew the nature of the demon sword better than anyone.
It was only natural that I had personally seen this magical sword’s tricky squirrels in my previous life.
‘It’s a bit drastic, but for now, this is the only detoxification method.’
If Cynthia was brought back to life like this, he would not miss any clues about the Dark Followers.
Ethan was satisfied with the smooth flow of the situation.
It was felt that the nameless poison was smoothly absorbed into the fragments of the demon sword.
‘This is the solution to the princess problem.’
Ethan removed his hand.
Then, surprisingly, Cynthia’s complexion improved.
It was thanks to Ethan’s plan that worked perfectly.
“majesty!”
Ben, who was confronting Nyx, was startled and approached the bedside.
He glanced at Ethan and Cynthia’s faces in disbelief.
“What is this… … .”
“Also! I believed you, Ethan!”
Nyx clenched his fists with twinkling eyes.
Ethan answered with a hand raised as if nothing had happened.
But his heart was full of intentions to satisfy his self-interest.
‘Now all that remains is to absorb the energy from the fragments of the demon sword.’
Now, in the fragments of the demon sword, the holy sword Akran’s holy power and the magical power derived from the demon king’s blood were mixed.
In a word, it meant that it was the perfect nutrient to grow new mana.
‘Who would I have treated the princess for? I’m not even a real saint.’
He can become stronger, and he also gains popularity by treating the princess with extra income.
It was literally eating pheasants and eating eggs.
Ethan tried to weave the divine power in his body and the energy from the fragments of the demon sword, pull it out like a very thin thread, and store it in his body.
That’s when everything went smoothly.
‘yes?’
Ethan sensed something strange.
‘It’ creeps in from Ethan’s back.
Cold sweat dripped down Ethan’s forehead.
bruise!
A white dwarf appeared out of nowhere in front of Ethan’s eyes.
It was Fenrir.
Ethan’s eyes widened.
‘Why is this motherf*cker here!?’
Recently, there was no need for a divine beast, so Ethan had left Fenrir unattended.
I didn’t notice it, but I wasn’t curious either.
Although he looked like a puppy, he was a decent divine beast.
I thought I was going to wander around the Imperial Palace somewhere.
However, as Cynthia’s situation worsened, it seemed that she was worried and stuck by her side.
‘I have a feeling of something ominous… … .’
Ethan swallowed dry saliva.
I was reminded of the god-soo’s damning behavior in Pache.
pinch.
Fenrir gave Ethan a pitiful look.
Ethan’s spine shuddered.
‘Oh shit. no way?’
