It’s a Magic Sword, but the Hero Is Obsessed With It

14. At the same time, the other side…

Cream kicked the wall with her foot in displeasure.

Kudeudeuk. Every time that happened, the walls of the dungeon were bent and then straightened again. Cream immediately stopped moving. The irritation was relieved to some extent, and it was because of the estimate.

It was not easy to break the walls of the dungeon even with the power of a hero. If she poured her strength, she could crush it as much as she wanted, but Cream held back because she knew it was a waste.

[Hero?]

“Yes.”

Looks around with blurry eyes. Even the darkness of the underworld did not dare to cover her eyes, so Cream was able to hold the two fainting humans and the holy sword emitting a dim light in her eyes.

As if resisting something, the holy sword was spraying light more nervously than usual. Cream picked it up and quietly asked a question.

“Can you feel it? Different, people.”

[No. I’m sorry, but I think it’s out of my detection range.]

Cream felt the same way, so she silently nodded her head. The darkness that covered the entire dungeon had the power to block all five senses, not just sight.

I don’t know if it’s just darkness, but the space is severely twisted and distorted, and even the structure changes every moment, so even the bravest could not be free from its influence.

However, it was not that there was no feeling. The hero closed her eyes and quietly listened to the other sound beating softly inside her heart.

“There you are.”

It is a string of contracts that lead to each other’s souls. The hero was catching with his senses something that not only ordinary people, but also shamans who are good at handling souls, would not easily feel.

If there is a guidepost that is unshakable even on the road of darkness that is scattered and bent countless times, it is the light of the soul.

[Yes? Warrior. What did you just say?]

“No, let’s go.”

Even without looking back, I can hear people walking behind me. As long as the light of the holy sword becomes a milestone, they will not lose sight of themselves.

Cream, who had closed her eyes for a moment and focused on the soft beat of her heart, soon opened her eyes and started walking. I still don’t know the structure of the dungeon, but I do know where the most important things are.

She wasn’t conscious of all of them as she was chasing his steps, but only the holy sword, which always clung to the hero’s side, groped for her unconscious hand.

A hand gesture groping my waist as if trying to grab the handle of a sword. Of course, nothing rubbed his fingers.

[Hero, why are you…]

Looking at those unconscious movements that even he himself was not aware of, the holy sword would sometimes fall into deep disappointment.

However, after her disappointment left her heart, the vacancy was filled with questions. What is the hero of this generation?

Why are you so obsessed with demonic swords? Like a child who has lost a parent.

“Uh, what should I do?”

[What the heck.]

Fortunately, the slime didn’t seem to want to attack us right away.

It just filled the aisle and swayed uncomfortably. But that alone was a significant threat to us.

I’ve been feeling little by little since before, but this dungeon, the space is changing. If you avoid the slime and go back to the previous passage, then you will fall into a labyrinth from which you cannot escape.

“First of all, it seems that there is no intent to attack, so let’s rest here.”

The leader managed to make a wise decision. The two adventurers unpacked their belongings in a place far away from the slime, but still within reach of light.

In the dark, where I couldn’t even see my body, I couldn’t even open my bag for fear of missing my luggage. It was quite pitiful to see him melt the hard jerky with his saliva and eat it.

[By the way, did you see that hideous thing in the encyclopedia?]

But that’s not what I know. They say dogs don’t touch me when I eat, but since I’m not a dog, I talked to the wizard who hurriedly stuffed the beef jerky into it.

“Kek, yes? What did you say?”

[That one in front.]

“Ah, yes. That looks like a variant of Flesh Slime.”

I couldn’t recognize it properly because I had so much soul in my body, but it must have been that way.

Perhaps his spirit was down, the wizard’s words were docile. By the way, it’s a flash slime. As the name suggests, it was a type of slime made from organic flesh.

It has slime-like abilities such as regeneration, predation, and division, but in fact, it’s more like a homunculus than a slime. Of course, things like that don’t come naturally.

Perhaps the result of someone who made a pact with the devil.

[Then, is this an artificial dungeon?]

Of course, dungeons artificially created by someone are inferior to natural dungeons created according to the laws of some world.

Of course, there are exceptions such as dragon rare, but the grade of this dungeon is S-, not SSS. Who was the transcendent enough to create a dungeon like this?

[I don’t think the elder lich would do such a troublesome thing, is he a collaboration between his subordinates? Or a murder painter… Oh, that guy is already dead.]

“Why are you talking about something you know only?”

In the meantime, the wizard who had filled his stomach glared at me with ferocious eyes again to see how much his energy had recovered. I cleared my throat and said.

[Have you finished eating?]

“Yes. Now we’ll have to start again…”

The wizard slurred his words. I didn’t dare to go back, and if that was the case, I would have to defeat that fleshy slime, but that didn’t seem right either.

Among warriors, wizards, and priests, wizards have the weakest personal combat power and least firepower. A leader who is a warrior is much better, but it would be difficult to cut through that thick flesh with that level of skill.

Actually, I had already come up with a way.

[Can I help you?]

As I spoke in a soft voice, the wizard put on a creepy expression.

“Uh, how?”

[hahahaha. Just looking at my juniors, I feel a little compassion… I will help you. Now, throw me at that slime.]

The wizard saw the slime filling the 5-meter-high aisle, then looked at me again. For reference, I’m about the size of an ordinary arming sword, so I don’t look so intimidating when I turn off the effect.

Well, now that it’s sealed, I can’t turn off the effect at will. It’s not like it’s something you can trust.

[Pax. What are you looking at with those eyes? I’m Karbal. Oops It’s a legendary sword that made the whole world resonate! Trust me oppa.]

“Ugh, okay.”

I don’t know if he felt fear at the word ‘legendary sword’ or hatred at the word ‘brother’, but the magician grabbed me with a hand like picking up an insect.

“Are you okay?”

“There is no other number.”

Coolly passing over the leader’s worrying words, the wizard threw me at the slime. I immersed myself in the slime, putting the boastful words to shame.

It didn’t happen that I suddenly pulled out the black darkness and broke the slime into pieces. Of course. I’m sealed now

“Eh?”

I heard the wizard’s voice outside the slime, but I didn’t care. Who is this body? Words made of the strongest metal, Solium, which is said to be the flesh of a god.

I don’t have to worry about destroying me with any amount of power other than the divine power of the extreme. Seeing that I had no sign of melting away even with the thick aura of corruption that seeped inside the Flesh Slime, the slime changed its strategy.

A huge body oppresses me. Even if the flesh was cut into chunks by the blade, he didn’t care and hugged the blade until it became dull, while at the same time the handle was also subjected to terrifying muscle pressure.

You could put it this way. ‘The slime grabbed my handle.’

Quaaang!

The moment the seal placed by the hero satisfies the conditions, the structure disintegrates into pieces and the divine power inherent in it explodes with terrifying aggression.

A lightning bolt from the god of stars came out and hit the slime fairly. With a thrilling current running through my body, I exerted my strength in a tingling pain.

[Come, come!]

– The Spectered Authority (SS-) activates!

The souls, unable to digest or use the power that the slimes had greedily swallowed, and who were just crushed by each other’s weight and corrupted, responded to my call.

The flash slime was torn to shreds, and I also suffered significant, if not severe, damage. I immediately ‘consumed’ the souls I absorbed.

The handle that had melted away became hard again, and the blade that had been running through gold was again filled with black metal. Souls are the most valuable currency. Because of its use, repairs were possible almost immediately.

[Wow, that’s funny.]

However, after making his body sound, he stuck out his tongue. Somehow, I thought the power of the explosion was stronger than I thought.

Of course, the slime that wrapped around me absorbed most of the shock, but the sealing technique itself was set that way in the first place. Instead of reducing the power of the explosion, this is semi-permanent.

Well, it will take several hours for the power of the seal to return. In the meantime, I can fulfill my calling as a sword.

[How is it? Is it awesome?]

“Whoa…”

To those who don’t know the circumstances, the fact that I smashed the slime at once will be seen as my strength. The remnants of the sparkling and scattered divine power, between them, could see their bewildered faces.

The wizard only had a surprised expression, but the leader’s expression wriggled with a slightly different emotion. Of course. If the seal is broken, the power of my demonic sword will return, albeit temporarily.

I whispered slowly to the leader so that the wizard couldn’t hear it.

[Now you have the strongest sword in front of you.]

“Don’t tempt me, you demonic sword!”

“Zach? Could it be that the sword did something else?”

[Don’t you want to catch me?]

However, even though he hesitated, the leader did not extend his hand right away. The level of a leader is not low, and my strength is weakened, so I can’t exert that much immediate power.

Well, it doesn’t really matter. Because they will have no choice but to catch me anyway.

[Choose wisely. Do you think you can get out of here without borrowing my strength? What are you going to do next time you encounter another enemy?]

After hesitating for a while, the leader’s eyes soon showed firm determination.

“Zach!”

“I’m sorry, Emily.”

The sorceress screamed, but her feet did not move. Even wizards know that. That I’m not wrong.

“I believe in myself and you. My will, the time we spent together. It wasn’t worthless time to be taken away by the demonic sword at the very least.”

“Zach…”

“So Emily, can you trust me too?”

You shoot a very new drama. Seeing the lover’s eyes filled with determination, the wizard could only nod his head. Then he cautiously reached out his hand.

You grabbed me.
