Episode 14: The Devil's Sword
"Uh... I could also understand what position I was in and how I could have helped... really?
Ira looks up at the status card and asks.
"True."
When I affirmed, I set my posture right and sat right on the bed.
"Uh, thanks for the help for now"
"Never mind. There are disadvantages. It's a way to help, and if I had been more decent, it might have been an injury you wouldn't have had to bear."
"Even though I knew about the properties of the Devil's Sword, it was my fault I didn't doubt that possibility."
Even if the two of us keep asking questions, we won't move on, so I decide to break it from mine.
"Okay. If possible, can you tell me what you know about the Devil's Sword?
"Well... I guess I could have just poked around saying it was irrelevant, but I'm going to need your permission to do something more than be your family."
Same goes for Sylvia, but I'm not going to tie her up that far just because she's a family member.
"Then why don't you help me destroy the Devil's Sword?"
Destruction of the Devil's Sword (...), or... after all, Isla's purpose was not the prize money hanging on Tsukuba.
"What's a demon sword in the first place?
"The Devil's Sword is a sword that curses the owner instead of giving him immense power. If you're in this city, you'll give the owner the absolute ability to regenerate, and instead, you'll have to keep breathing the blood of others."
Whether you get your body amputated or your neck slashed off, you'll be back to normal soon.
Definitely an absolute regenerative ability.
I don't know how to deal with the owner, either.
"Originally, the Devil's Sword was found from four crates in a different labyrinth (dungeon) than my father found the Devil's Sword."
It's hard for an adventurer to spot a sword as a demon sword without an appraisal.
"My father decided to use one and sell the other three."
When I went on to exorcise demons for a week after being asked to crusade as an adventurer without knowing it was a demon sword, the anomaly began to happen.
Until then, he was a sweet father. He suddenly became angry easily. Work has been doing well enough since I got my new sword, and I usually smiled. But even the little things made me angry a lot.
And then a week later - the tragedy happened.
"Before dinner, my brother and my father argued over a few things, and my father, more angry than usual, killed my brother with the Devil's Sword in his hand. Then my mother, who had to watch my father's madness, crammed into my father and killed my mother with the Devil's Sword after she and my mother had argued."
From there on forward, I couldn't stop the madness from being angry at myself for being fascinated by the Devil's Sword.
When I got out of the house, I was stressed out just to see people walking through the city, slashing and killing them one after another from those I could see. The rampage stopped when nearly twenty ordinary people and five adventurers who fought the Devil's Sword to stop their father with the Devil's Sword were put in the neck where they were sacrificed.
It was Ira, the daughter of none other, who stabbed the stop.
My father, who was an adventurer, had taught me only how to use the basic sword for protective purposes. Ira was poking the sword with a gap from behind my father, who was losing reason while at a low level at the time. I just couldn't look at my father rambling any further.
"Then a great man who came to investigate the case appraised the sword his father had and found out that the sword his father had acquired was the Devil's Sword. My father, the murderer, killed him with my hands, and the outburst didn't mean I was to blame. But it didn't even change the consciousness of the survivors."
You remind me of that time. I lean over with my knees.
"My gaze at me in the city got very cold. I have tried to buy dinner ingredients but still have a cold customer service attitude, or sometimes they don't even sell to me when it's horrible. That's why I couldn't stay in the city and became an adventurer in another city after I left the city."
There was no one else in the family and there was no untrained way out of the city.
Somehow it's similar to me not being able to be in the village...... no, Ira would be worse off than me because she endured for days.
"I became an adventurer, and when I thought about what I was going to target, I thought," Three Devil's Swords My Father Sold. "
The Devil's Sword his father had had the ability to 'slay anything'. The owner was accompanied by a curse to 'make it easier to clean' at the price.
There are at least three demon swords out there with such a vicious curse.
"We can't let that tragedy repeat itself. The Devil's Sword easily gives you mighty power, but at the same time it easily disparages people. It's definitely better not to be such a sword."
Power can be better or worse depending on how you use it.
But if it's a force that's pretty much certain it's going to get worse, you'd better throw it away.
"After searching for the Devil's Sword and thinking about what to do, I decided to go from one end to the other looking for a dangerous person, thinking that I was more likely to be making a case like my father. So, while I was gathering information on dangerous people, the information on the prize neck began to burst in, and I didn't know if I was the owner of the Devil's Sword until I checked with him, so I went hunting for the allowance or whatever, and I was a prize hunter."
Ira's purpose was only to the owner of the Devil's Sword, but he was perceived as a bounty hunter within defeating and going one person after another like it.
"Still, I've defeated two Devil's Sword owners before."
"The Devil's Sword to Melt Slashed Items"
"Devil's Sword Makes Slashed Wounds Uncurable"
Aside from the demon sword that gave him immortality, he had found and defeated the demon sword owner, who had not had so much difficulty identifying his place because he was immediately in a state of confusion after obtaining both demon swords, or had been assaulted and ravaged by severe pain.
And I found Tsukuba, the last Devil's Sword owner, but he escaped within reassurance of just slashing his neck because he didn't know the effects of the Devil's Sword. At that time, massive amounts of blood had been lost because of the slashing of his neck, and the curse of the slaughter had progressed at once, gradually favoring the blood of those who were stronger than ordinary people.
Ira was also desperate to figure out how to attack the Devil's Sword while gathering information in the city of Alistair, and came to the conclusion that the destruction of the Devil's Sword was impossible in her status. As a result, he was in the means of letting go of the Devil's Sword.
The result was a state in which the devil's sword itself became willing by an excessive curse and returned to its owner.
"Honestly, there was nothing I could do about it, but I think this status could destroy the Devil's Sword."
"Worst case, if you can't, don't worry, I'll destroy you."
"Speaking of which, what's wrong with the Devil's Sword you've defeated so far?
Sylvia's questions are good too.
What happened to the treatment of demon swords that just seem dangerous to own?
"After my father's demon sword was recovered by the lord, the demon sword disappeared without a trace because the lord who decided it was dangerous melted it. I was listening to that story, so I had the other demon swords brought to the blacksmith and melted."
So you practiced the way I magically threatened you at the blacksmith.
"Will the search for the Devil's Sword resume tomorrow?
"Right. I have potions, and I feel like I'm feeling better if I get a good night's sleep after drinking. Then, just like today, we'll begin our search for Tsukuba."
We don't need a search.
Why? Because I was leaning my neck towards the feeling, I decided to show you a certain magic tool (magic item).
"This pendulum (Pendulum Dowsing) is a substitute that tells you the direction and distance of what you want to look for instead of consuming magic like an asshole. You don't have to look for Tsukuba with this guy."
I tried it and it was now hiding in a slum in the West Side.
"If you have such a convenient substitute, how could you not have used it from the beginning?
"I didn't use it, I couldn't use it. I need a strong image of who I want to look for in order to use this guy. You can't imagine someone who hasn't even seen a sketch before. That's why I had to meet him on my own the first time."
That's why I hit the security guard yesterday, today and at night.
But it became impossible for Tsukuba to escape me more than he had encountered once.
"Then I'll help you tomorrow."
"Right. Sylvia has a right to visit."
Sylvia did not participate in the night guard because she was hooked on the necessary adventurer rank limitations in accepting the request. I was waiting at home thinking about if I also found out that I didn't sneak in.
But rank doesn't matter if you're going on a crusade regardless of the Alliance's request.
"Come on, it's hunting time from here"
