The rattling piece of metal clinging to the scabbard was annoying, so he pulled out the sword and, like an animal crawling in looking for its own home, approached the empty position and engaged it precisely.
At the same time that it fit perfectly, the power contained in the piece of metal that had left the house spread throughout the sword. A light so soft that it could be distinguished with the naked eye spread throughout the sword body, so even if you wanted to know it, you couldn’t know it.
Both I and Siegfried had no choice but to silently watch the absurd sight for a long time with each other’s tacit consent.
“As I live, I get to see the sword evolves on its own.”
“That’s right.”
I never wanted to understand, but I did. The fact that this piece of sword was the culprit behind the catastrophe we just saw. And it was the same with Siegfried.
“What’s the point?”
“It’s because I don’t know. It’s just that Mr. Balkun made the sword with magic gold.”
All I did here was fight an axe eater near the house that was eroded by dregs and ate it to pieces.
In the process, I used some magic power as a blender, but there was no way that something strange could be born that sucks divine power just because I broke the sword in that way.
“If I knew the method clearly, I could have mass-produced it.”
I also nodded at the story of Siegfried, who seemed to lick his lips in regret, but I realized a little later that even if he mass-produced it, it would not be possible to activate it properly unless he could use magic and divine power at the same time, so it was a useless assumption. .
“It’s useless unless you’re making at least a degraded copy of it. You need both magic and divine power.”
“Do you know? If a naturalized person comes out of the demon king’s army, I wonder if I can give them a hand and make them fight.”
“…is it plausible?”
It was something worthy of consideration if Saint Deoni raised a holy war after the purge, so while they were excitedly talking about the new possibility, the tent suddenly pulled up and someone appeared.
“…Huh! You forgot to use the soundproofing magic again!”
For some reason, I thought I couldn’t hear the sounds around me well. I thought it was because I was concentrating on the piece of sword that came back after leaving the house, but it was because of the soundproofing magic Siegfried used when I first entered.
Looking behind Princess Esselua, who was setting up the tent, she saw the attendants who were at a loss for what to do like dogs in need of shit, the two calm saints, and Entire. It is certain that he is in the tent, but there is no answer even after calling several times, so it seems that he is literally on a shit line.
“Oh, no! I did it because I was talking about something really important this time!”
It was clear that I had forgotten what Eselua said, but it was still half the truth, so I nodded gracefully and supported Siegfried’s remarks.
Then Princess Esselua, who finished her greeting with a slight nod of the head, looked at my sword pointed by Siegfried’s hand with a puzzled expression, and the two saints who started entering the tent after her also looked at my sword with curious eyes.
And without anyone saying it first, I opened my eyes wide in amazement.
“Stand, stand, stand!”
The first to react to Belessica’s inability to speak was the self-destructing saintess.
She closed Bellesica’s mouth with one hand and quickly gave Entire a hand signal with the other. She didn’t seem to know what that meant, but Entire, who immediately grasped the situation, hurriedly came inside and quickly swiped the tent that had been rolled up. cried out loud.
“Why is the holy sword here!?”
Belessica still nodded vigorously without saying a word, Princess Esselua and Entire were astonished as the saints had seen just before, and Siegfried and I exchanged glances several times over the sword before saying ‘Ah.’ showed a reaction.
“When you think about it that way, it seems like the rest makes sense.”
“I know.”
It was nice to have my doubts resolved in one shot, but it was not a very pleasant experience to share the gaze of four women who said they would see all the crazy guys.
◈
A weapon made entirely of metal is treated specially because of its tradition and symbolism that have been handed down since the days when it was a symbol of great power and wealth. In fact, the holy sword is only a part of the holy relics that any denomination holds about three or four. do. There are quite a few places where a holy spear or a holy shield substitutes for a holy sword.
However, in other words, it means that in the end, it is a precious object that is the proof of the god who cannot die and cannot live in any church.
There is only a difference between whether God made it and bestowed it on his own, or whether those who reached the ranks of great warriors following God’s will naturally rose up in the process of accumulating great achievements.
He reacted this way even with such a thing in front of him, so even if he was treated like a madman, he had nothing to say.
“You fought with something like this and no one recognized you?”
“Strictly speaking, it just happened like this, but…”
After seating four more people and explaining the situation, exclamation naturally burst out.
Some were at a loss for what to do with the fact that there was an object in front of their noses that became the medium of divine punishment that overturned the battlefield, while others were simply admiring it purely, while others were meeting hard at the command post as if they had gained a clue about the future direction. It flashed my eyes.
yes, that’s right In order of the saints, Entire, and Princess Eselua.
“Then it would be reasonable to say that he was promoted after experiencing some kind of incident in the enemy camp.”
The self-destruct saintess said that, basically, what is required to create an acquired holy relic is divine power.
The universally known process of punishing numerous demons is merely a process of refinement so that the weapon can fully receive the divinity rather than to stand out in the eyes of the gods. No matter how many great feats you accomplish, if your faith is insufficient or if it is different from the will of the god you serve, divinity will not be bestowed and will remain as a weapon of a slightly higher rank.
Since Epaga is in a situation where she can’t fully demonstrate her divinity, Princess Eselua’s opinion that she was beaten back while making some kind of repair work like the demon king’s army used to make magic tools out of scraps was a very reasonable reasoning.
“The holy relic is like a channel for the gods to spread their influence in this world as mildly as possible. The fact that the divine punishment fell as soon as such an object was completed…” “It is proof that all the actions of the demon army have gone too far.
”
It would explode so violently that it would be impossible to hide it, so wouldn’t it be quite helpful for Lady Deoni to move?
Thinking about that, I touched the sword, and a strange echo continued, just like on a battlefield.
“This… should I consider it an Ego Sword?”
“Otherwise, you wouldn’t have been able to find the way from the Demon King’s camp far away to here, right?”
The self-destructive saintess reacted as if she were asking for something obvious, so she couldn’t refute it because it was an obvious fact. While everyone was unable to speak easily amid this startling fact, Princess Eselua, who jumped up from her seat, nodded as if she had made up her mind and opened her mouth.
“Not only the Commander, but also the Kingdom, and even the Empire, should be informed of this fact.”
“what?”
I wondered if I was going to reveal to the whole world that I was holding the holy sword, but luckily Siegfried asked me a question first. Then, Princess Eselua looked at him with strangely burning eyes and answered with strength.
“The fact that the demon god abandoned the demon tribe.”
“You didn’t give up.”
I was not very happy with the content, so I refuted it in a nonchalant tone without realizing it. At this, everyone except Siegfried looked at me with a surprised expression, but I reinforced my remarks when they were reinforced, and I had no intention of withdrawing them.
“Epaga has never abandoned the demons. If you have to put it into words, it’s the Demon King’s army, and Seosoon was wrong.”
“Seo Soon…?”
“It started when the Demon King’s Army abandoned Epaga-sama. Even after seeing this, I’m here with a lot of grace from him… I can’t overlook the fact that my intentions are being misinterpreted.”
It was not meant to be a warning or to show any discomfort. I just corrected a misunderstanding. Siegfried did not show any reaction, saying that he had heard my circumstances to some extent, but the women who had experienced me in various forms showed different reactions and flinched.
This time too, it was Princess Eselua who reacted first.
“…Then that’s a better story. It means that it’s possible to appease the demons.”
“I didn’t mean to argue about good or bad, but you’re right. In fact, the saintess of the Demonic Church also predicted a massive purge and holy war.”
There was nothing more to hide in the yard where I was holding an object that was expected to be a holy sword, so I brought up stories one after another, but there was less repercussions than expected, and no one asked how I knew about it. Instead, this time too, Princess Eselua asked a question to make the plan more concrete.
“Are you in a situation where you can contact the saint of the Demonic Church?”
“No. There’s no way for me to contact you first. I’ve received the token.”
As I answered, thinking of the horn fragment of the saintess who was sleeping with Krul’s fangs in the pouch she always carried, Princess Eselua, who was contemplating briefly with a serious expression on her face, looked at me with an extremely serious face and asked me.
“If it’s us, it seems that we can contact you. If so, could you lend us a token?”
It wasn’t too difficult to figure out that the ‘we’ she meant was the Empire, so I nodded happily and took out the horn fragment and handed it to her.
