Never touch Eldmia Egga - Episode 482

[482[Tuesday] God knows

I was bothered by the rattling piece of metal stuck to the sheath, so I pulled out the sword, and like an animal crawling into its own home, it approached the empty spot and clicked accurately..

As it fits so perfectly, the power contained in the piece of iron that was taken away spreads throughout the entire sword. A soft light spreads throughout the sword body so that it can be distinguished with the naked eye, so even if you want to, you can't..

Both Siegfried and I had no choice but to watch the strange scene in silence for a long time, with each other's tacit consent..

"As I live, I see how 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 of the catastrophe we saw earlier. And it was the same with Siegfried..

"What on earth does this mean??"

"That's because you don't know. It was just a sword made by Mr. Balkun from Majanggeum.."

The only thing I did here was fight an axe-man who was eroded by scraps near my house and eat him up..

In the process, I used some magic power and used it as a blender, but is it possible that something strange that sucks up divine power could be created just by breaking the sword in that way?.

"If we had known the method clearly, we could have mass-produced it.."

I, too, shook my head at Siegfried's story of losing his appetite as if he was disappointed, but it was only a little later that I realized that it was a pointless assumption since even if mass-produced, it would not be possible to activate it properly unless the magic and divine power could be used at the same time..

"Unless you're making a degraded copy, it's probably useless. I need both magical power and divine power.."

"Do you know anything? If a naturalized person emerges from the Demon King's army, will we be able to hand him over and have him fight?."

"...That sounds plausible.?"

While Saint Deoni was excitedly talking about new possibilities, thinking that it would be something to consider if she started a holy war after the purge, the tent suddenly rolled up and someone appeared..

"...nice! I forgot to use the soundproofing spell again.!"

For some reason, I felt like I couldn't hear the surrounding sounds very well. I thought it was because I was concentrating on the swordsman who left the house and came back, but it was because of the soundproofing magic that Siegfried used when I first came in..

When I looked behind Princess Esselua, who was putting up the tent, I saw servants who looked helpless like a dog that wanted to poop, two calm saints, and Entyre. I'm sure it's in the tent, but I called several times and there was no answer, so I guess I was literally on the edge of my seat..

"Oh no! This time, I did it because we were talking about something really important.!"

It was clear that I had forgotten what Esselua said, but since it was still half the truth, I nodded my head gracefully and gave strength to Siegfried's statement..

Then, Princess Esselua, who finished greeting with a light nod, looked at my sword pointed at 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 regardless of who was first, I opened my eyes wide and was astonished..

"stand, stand, stand!"

The first to react to Bellesica's inability to speak properly was the suicide saint..

She covered Velesica's mouth with one hand and quickly sent a hand signal to Entire with the other hand. Entire, who did not seem to know what that meant, but immediately grasped the situation, hurriedly came inside and quickly swept down the tent that had been rolled up, and only after confirming that the tent had fallen again, did she remove her hand from Bellesica's mouth. shouted loudly.

"Why is the holy sword here?!?"

Bellesica nodded vigorously, still unable to speak, Princess Esselua and Entyre looked as shocked as the saints had just moments before, and Siegfried and I exchanged glances with the sword and each other several times before saying, 'Ah.' showed a reaction.

"When I think about it that way, the rest seems to make sense.."

"I know."

It was nice to have my doubts resolved in one go, but sharing the attention of four women who wanted to see all the crazy people was not a very pleasant experience..

◈

As a weapon made entirely of metal, it is treated particularly specially because of its tradition and symbolism that has been passed down from the time when it was a symbol of enormous power and wealth, but in fact, the holy sword is only a part of the holy relics held by each religious order. . There are quite a few places where holy spears or holy shields are used instead of holy swords..

But, to put it on the other hand, it means that in the end, it is a precious item that is proof of God's inability to live and die in any denomination..

The only difference is whether it was created and bestowed by God himself, or whether those who followed God's will and reached the rank of great warriors were promoted naturally in the process of accumulating great achievements..

I reacted like this even in front of such an object, so I didn't have anything to say even if I was treated like a crazy person..

"I fought with something like this, but no one recognized me.?"

"Strictly speaking, this is what just happened...."

When we sat down four more people and explained the situation, they naturally burst out in exclamation..

Some were helpless at the fact that the object that became the medium for the divine punishment that overturned the battlefield was right in front of them, some were just pure admiration, and some seemed to have gotten a clue about the future direction that was being discussed at the command center. My eyes sparkled..

Yes, that's right. The order of the saints is Princess Entyre and Esselua..

"In that case, it would be reasonable to say that he was promoted after experiencing some kind of incident in enemy territory.."

The suicide saint said that basically what is needed to create an acquired relic is divine power..

The process of extermination of numerous evil species, which is universally known, is not intended to attract the attention of the gods, but is merely a process of refining the weapon so that it can fully receive divinity. No matter how many feats you achieve, if you lack faith or differ from the will of the god you serve, your divinity will not be granted and it will remain as a slightly higher-grade weapon..

Princess Esselua's opinion that Epagar was currently unable to fully demonstrate his divinity, and that he was punished for doing some kind of modification, like the Demon King's army making magic tools out of scraps, was a very valid inference..

"Relics are like a channel for the gods to spread their influence on this world as gently as possible. As soon as such an object was completed, divine punishment was imposed...."

"This is proof that all of the Demon King's actions have gone too far.."

Since the explosion is so large that it cannot be hidden, wouldn't it be quite helpful for Saint Deoni to move??

With that thought in mind, I touched the sword and a strange sound continued, like on the battlefield..

"This... should I think of it as the Ego Sword??"

"Otherwise, it would not have been possible to find the way from the distant camp of the Demon King's army to here.?"

The words of the suicide saint, who reacted as if she was asking something obvious, could not be refuted because they were obvious facts. While everyone was unable to get her words out amidst this shocking fact, Princess Esselua got up from her seat and opened her mouth, nodding her head as if she had made up her mind..

"This must be reported not only to the Commander, but also to the Kingdom and even the Empire.."

"what?"

I wondered if he was going to reveal to the world that I was holding the holy sword, but fortunately Siegfried asked the question first. Then Princess Ethelrua looked at him with her strangely burning gaze and answered with her power..

"The fact that the demon god abandoned the demon race."

"You didn't throw it away."

I didn't like the content so much that I ended up refuting it in a harsh tone without realizing it. At this, everyone except Siegfried looked at me with a surprised expression, but I reinforced my statement and had no intention of withdrawing it..

"Epaga has never abandoned the demons. If you're really serious, it's the Demon King, and even that's Seosun's mistake.."

"Seo-sun...?"

"It all started when the devil's army abandoned Epaga. Even after all this, I am here because I have received a lot of grace from Him... I cannot overlook the fact that my intentions are being misunderstood.."

It didn't particularly convey a warning or reveal discomfort. I just corrected a misunderstanding. Siegfried, he said he had heard of my situation to some extent and did not show any particular reaction, but the women who had experienced me in various ways showed different reactions and flinched..

This time too, it was Princess Esselua who reacted first..

"...Well then, that's a better story. This means that it is possible to appease the demons.."

"I didn't mean to argue whether it was good or bad, but you're right. In fact, the saint of the Demon God Church also predicted a large-scale purge and holy war.."

Since I was in possession of what was expected to be a holy sword, I had nothing more to hide, so I started telling the story one after another, but there was less repercussions than expected, and no one asked how I knew about it. Instead, this time, Princess Esselua asked a question to make the plan more specific..

"Are you able to contact the saint of the Demon God Church??"

"no. There is no way for me to contact you first. I received a certificate, but."

When I answered while thinking of the horn piece of the sleeping saint along with Krul's fang in the pouch I always carried, Princess Esselua, who thought briefly with a serious expression on her face, looked at me with an even more serious expression and asked me a question..

"If it were us, we might be able to contact you. If so, could you lend me a certificate??"

It wasn't that hard to figure out that when she meant 'we' she meant the Empire, so I nodded willingly and took out a piece of horn and handed it to her..
