225 – A hero needs a porter
Once his identity was revealed, the holy sword started talking to me.
“….”
When I saw that, I was at a loss for words.
‘Did the Holy Sword have an ego…? ?’
Last half of the game. Occasionally, the image of a hero talking to the Holy Sword appears, but it is more like a mumbling to herself because she is mentally trapped and cannot reveal it to others.
Even after this, there is a scene where Seonggeom monologues that he does not answer her and captures her heart, so it is probably clear.
-There is no way there is a human other than Durandal who can hear my voice… !
But, I don’t know why, but I can clearly hear the Holy Sword’s voice.
In situations like this, substituting the goddess is most likely suitable. Oh Goddess Shichi. Is it you again?
What on earth did you do to my body when you kidnapped me that now even the sword is talking to me?
-Why is your power on the body of such a pathetic person…? .
The Holy Sword also revealed her resentment towards her goddess. He doesn’t seem to like the fact that I can hear him.
-Anyway, quickly hand this body over to Durandal.
I was going to do that anyway.
I was about to quickly return it to its owner after realizing that it was a cursed sword that would cause physical and mental exhaustion to the wielder.
“Ugh…!”
I guess I relaxed while talking with the Holy Sword, but the wounds inflicted by the monster began to ache rapidly.
Sharp.
My knees bend of their own accord and I am completely out of breath.
How can you throw this all the way there when it’s hard to even lift a finger?
No matter how you throw it, it is obvious that if a delivery accident occurs on the way, you will be in a truly hopeless situation.
-I can’t believe I can’t do something as simple as that. Anyway, no matter how I lifted this body, it still seems to be of no use.
The way he spoke seemed somewhat relieved to see me like that, but I was intrigued by his next words.
-Try to hold me with both hands. A wound like that is nothing to me.
My mouth moved automatically at the remark that seemed as if I was going to be a heel.
“It also had that function…?”
-What a feature! How dare you treat this body like a tool! And what does that rude tone mean? Call me by the proper title!
It is clear that I am the one holding the hilt of the sword, but the sword keeps rebelling.
“…Do you have that kind of ability, Holy Sword?”
But Ian was in too much pain to fight here, so he decided to give up and go in.
-Well, it’s not that difficult. Because you can use your life.
I see. All I have to do is use my life….
“…What?”
I almost gave up because I was naturally asking for longevity.
-Why are you doing that? Isn’t it only natural that I used up most of my strength to block the attack just now?
The Holy Sword tells you to take responsibility for using up all your strength because of me.
No, what kind of holy sword can save your life? Isn’t this a pure magic sword?
I was dumbfounded for a moment, but when I remembered the source of the holy sword, I realized that it could be true.
That’s what the goddess made, but the Holy Sword urged me.
-What’s the big deal about dying a few days early! Isn’t it better than dying right now?
Of course it is, but….
-If you understand, just do as I say.
I had no choice but to give up my life in response to a strangely persuasive statement.
If you take it for more than a day, I will immediately turn it into scrap metal.
– Oh, I forgot to mention that you could lose your mind.
What?
I asked what that meant, but it was already too late.
Chuuk.
The holy sword, which was obviously light, began to feel increasingly heavy. Obviously, I didn’t mind holding it with one hand, but now, even though I had both hands, it was still too heavy.
-Hmm? You seem out of place, but you have something quite useful. With this, I don’t have to waste my life.
I was shocked at the Holy Sword’s words that he would take something else instead of life. Stop moving. What are you taking away?
-Wait a minute, why is it this much… !
I felt something strange in the Holy Sword’s embarrassed voice.
What the f*ck. What is going on?
-No matter what, isn’t this too much?!
“So what on earth are there so many?! Please tell me what they are!”
“What are you muttering to yourself like that!”
When Seonggeom had an accident. Salazar, having restored his arm, lunged at me.
The warrior was not idle, but Salazar had a slight advantage in terms of distance.
Can’t it be helped that this happened?
“It’s okay, so let’s do this quickly.”
Wow.
-Ji, it’s still overwhelming, but if I give it that much strength, it won’t go any further… !
That moment when I grabbed the handle of the holy sword and held it tightly.
-Quaaa!
I felt a tremendous repulsion from the holy sword I was holding, and it began to emit a blinding flash of light.
His arm rose into the sky in a semicircle, and Salazar, who was running towards me, was caught up in the light.
-Kwakwang! Quagwagwang!
After some time, the sound of something exploding and collapsing came to my ears.
When I slowly opened my eyes, I saw that everything in the light’s path had disappeared without a trace.
The floor, the walls, and the ceiling.
If there was an eraser that could erase anything, wouldn’t it look like this?
“….”
I was dumbfounded by a sight I couldn’t believe even after seeing it.
-It turned out like this in the hands of a guy who wasn’t even a hero….
A holy sword that talks as if its purity has been taken away by a gangster.
Let’s lower our gaze to see what’s wrong again this time.
“…What is this?”
The Holy Sword has changed.
Should I say it feels like a double-edged sword from the Joseon Dynasty with fantasy elements added to it?
Except for the jewels embedded in it, its appearance, which could have been considered a bit plain for a holy sword, has changed into a more stylish one.
It doesn’t stop there, the divine power flows from the sword body and is shaking so loudly that it can be seen with the naked eye.
Why, there is an effect that comes out if you strengthen it all the way.
For a moment, I imagined myself holding and swinging the holy sword, but right now all I could do was hold it.
From noble mtl dot com
It is stylish, but it has become heavier.
“It’s so heavy.”
-It’s heavy! This guy is extremely rude to the end! You are so full of divine power!
I wonder if it was divine power. What else can I say?
I left behind the clinking holy sword like a girl and followed Salazar’s footsteps.
Procrastination.
I saw him, who was lying down a little away, hurriedly getting up.
Read, read. Aren’t you dead yet?
Unfortunately, it appears to have been a mistake, as half of the body was missing.
“Hero!”
My body must have recovered. When I threw the New Holy Sword at the hero, the hero took it lightly, unlike me.
“What the hell is this….”
She also seems surprised by the changed appearance of the Holy Sword.
How awesome is it that I have obtained a +99 holy sword?
The warrior, who postponed looking at it in detail until later, immediately rushed towards Salazar.
“Ugh…!”
Up until now, Salazar had been able to fight it off by giving up his arm, but he was helpless in front of the hero whose reach had increased.
When Salazar stretched out his fist but could not reach it, he soon became defensive.
‘Now all I have to do is look around and it will be over.’
I was planning on just eating popcorn like this.
-Krrr!
I could hear the monsters growling behind me.
‘Were there any monsters that survived that uproar? .’
Even his sense of smell seems to have returned, as the scent of the snail escaped through the cracks between the walls and ceiling.
Of course, blood was flowing from my ears as if my eardrums had gone out, and the number had decreased significantly to around a hundred, but the problem was that their target was fixed on me.
-Kyuu….
Even if you use the same method, it is obvious that you will be attracted to the strongest smell since you will have already remembered the smell. The problem is that that’s me.
Glance.
I felt like I needed help here, so I looked towards the hero.
“Ha!”
-Scream!
However, the hero has the upper hand by engaging in a heated debate with Salazar.
If you bring a hero into a situation like now, he will just do whatever he wants.
‘Is there some good way….’
At that time, I was shaking my head, hoping that I could blow my nose without touching him.
… !
Something caught my eye and wouldn’t let go.
The back of someone’s head is always desirable.
***
-Scream!
Salazar’s arm fell off at the shoulder in front of the holy sword imbued with divine power.
Salazar is increasingly pushed into a corner, unable to mount a counterattack.
‘Damn…. I’m sure I’m stronger than the emperor, so why should I let a hero… !”
But he did not give in even in unfavorable circumstances.
‘But if you hold on just a little longer, the other side will soon ask for help from the warrior.’
I could feel quite a few monsters, so I was sure they would soon bite Ian.
“Ugh…?!”
But when I suddenly felt a tingling sensation behind my back, I turned my head and there I was.
“Hey, you’re a complete monster now?”
There was Ian standing on his shoulder with a mean expression on his face.
He stretched out his hand to squeeze it open, but his arm was not fully restored.
Ian, who could not be caught by such immature hands, quickly escaped and ran to the warrior’s side.
How disgusting his appearance was.
-Clud.
Salazar had gritted his teeth so hard that he spit out pieces of broken teeth from his mouth.
“Your liver is so swollen that there’s a hero next to you…!”
-Krrr!
However, Salazar smiles as the monsters soon approach.
“But the provocation should have been done while considering the situation.”
It won’t be easy even for a hero to fight while protecting a piece of luggage like Ian in a chaos where monsters are rushing at him from all directions.
“Your arrogance is what hastened the fate! Go and bite it!”
-Growl!
“What, what are you doing?! Are you not saying what I’m saying?!”
Contrary to his expectations, however, the monsters showed their teeth not at us, but at Salazar.
The guy’s back was pierced by a knife, with his shirt covered in the body odor of the bastard.
The smell of them being f*cked will be wafting out from him, so you won’t be able to help but roll your eyes.
-Whoa!
Soon the monsters surrounding him began to rush at once.
“These useless things…!”
While we were fighting fiercely among ourselves, the warrior and I decided to take a breather.
“When the number of monsters decreases, we can fight again.”
“But if something happens outside…”
A warrior who looks impatient, perhaps preoccupied with the thought of quickly defeating him and going to help.
“Trust me and leave it to me. If you don’t trust me, who will trust me?”
“That’s true too. It’s something I should say, but I’m hearing it from you…”
I quickly changed the topic when I saw her looking depressed, probably because a switch had been flipped.
“Well, what else does the Holy Sword say?”
“Yes…? What does that mean?”
The hero looked at me with an expression that seemed to ask how a sword could speak.
‘Are you keeping your mouth shut even in this situation?’
That time when I was glaring at the holy sword because I felt like I was the only one being made a fool.
“By any chance… Did you hear that?”
A warrior who starts the engine with a meaningful statement.
“I definitely felt that way when I first saw it, but the Holy Sword never answered me.”
The way you spoke seemed to be asking how you were able to do something in one go that I had never been able to do before.
“Besides the fact that my appearance changed in your hands, I may not be qualified.”
The problem was that the meaning was closer to resignation rather than resentment.
If things continue like this, something irreparable will happen.
“Maybe I’m not the one who deserves the word hero…”
“Hero!”
Kwaak.
He grabbed her by both shoulders and shook her violently.
“The hero is just slow. Did he already forget when he used the skill?”
“That and this are different…”
“I’m just starting to take my baby steps and start running! Now all I have to do is run. Are you going to give up here? Really?”
“Leave your hands alone and talk…!”
When it comes to rejection, momentum is important. If you get pushed out here, it’s over.
“Not long after I met you, I told you that it is you who will defeat the Demon King.”
“But if you suddenly attack me like that…!”
“This hand!”
“hehehe…!”
I grabbed the hand that wasn’t holding the holy sword. They even wrap their arms around each other so they can’t move.
“This is the hand that will defeat the devil and bring peace to the world.”
Then the warrior looked at his hand and then moved his gaze to my face.
“Really…?”
“Of course. I don’t know anything else, but I’m not the kind of person who lies about things like this.”
I added my other hand and tightly wrapped it around her hand.
“For me, there is only one hero. There is only one hero.”
“….”
“Do you think my truth is a lie?”
Dori Dori.
Perhaps moved by my infinite trust, the warrior shook her head violently, unable to continue her words.
I sighed in relief when I saw her like that.
‘I was appalled because it felt like they would force me to take the holy sword if I messed up….’
You are trying to release such a terrible demonic sword into the world. Carry it with you for the rest of your life, warrior.
While he was relieved that he was not the target of the Holy Sword abandonment.
‘Only me. Only me. Only me. Only me. Only me. Only me. Only me. Only me. Only me. Only me. Only me. Only me. Only me. Only me. Only me. It’s only me….’
A warrior who puts everything else aside and repeats the last word over and over again.
‘If you hear this when the fight isn’t over yet… !’
I don’t know how long the journey is left, so how can I wait?
Then I suddenly remembered the conversation I had with Gilbert earlier.
-There must have been nothing left where the war swept away.
-Well. That’s not necessarily the case. In fact, there are places that are more prosperous.
-How is that possible?
At that time, Gilbert said this.
-Babies are born even during times of war.
‘I didn’t really know what it meant at the time, but I think I understand now. That’s what it meant….’
If Gilbert had heard, he would have found paper to write his own statement.
“I understood your meaning well. I was thinking wrong all this time.”
“I’m glad you know.”
The warrior thought to himself when he saw Ian scratching his cheek as if he was embarrassed.
‘That’s because I can’t be by your side if I quit being a hero.’
He mustered up the courage to confront his true feelings, but he couldn’t remain silent.
“After you defeat that thing, I have something to tell you.”
“Can’t you just say it now?”
I almost stopped talking because they kept urging me on.
Atmosphere is important in things like this.
“What I can tell you now is…”
-Hook.
The warrior plunged his holy sword into the ground and said, wrapping his hand around Ian’s large hand.
“Please just know that I really need you.”
Not only as a warrior, but also in other ways.
Of course, Ian also took the warrior’s words differently.
‘What is it? Does this mean that the Flying Dutchman needs a captain? ?’
Ian had no plans to run away yet, but he already felt that it would not be easy.
