"I don't know."

Asher shook her head. He is a sodmaster. I am sure about it. But in reality, it doesn't come out.

Strange. It's the Swordmaster's token. If you've reached it, you have to be able to use it.]

The sword murmured in a questionable voice.

You don't even see the wreckage. It's like someone took it.]

"I think he took it."

You can't do that. Even God can't tamper with it. I can't touch it more because I'm a god.]

The sword said firmly. But Asher was not very impressed.

"Isn't it because the body is different?"

[...happy] That doesn't make sense.]

"Say that, but I don't know."

Before reincarnation, he could have created an oracle, but not now. In the early days of his reincarnation, he did not try to find it. If you don't have it, you can just train it.

[Sighs] You've been like that before. So maybe we've reached the point.]

The sword murmured despondently.

But you'd better find out. You'd better visit the elf. Because they might know.

"Is it the Elf after all? When I have time."

[Yes, I'm sorry to hear that] I thought I could finally get out of here.]

The voice of the sword was filled with regret. It was like this when he first came. I was glad to meet him after a long time, and I was disappointed at the same time. I thought it would be a Swordmaster if I opened the door."

[Only the Swordmaster can pick me] It would have been possible if you had come all the way. I didn't qualify for one thing.]

"You want to go out like that?”

Isn't that obvious? I've been here for countless years. I can't remember who I was or who I was. I'm sick and tired of it.

The gate of the sword is the place to prove the state of affairs. What is the purpose? The answer was before my eyes. Asher looked at the sword with new eyes.

A place like this is a simple seal.’

The cannabis tried to pierce, but it failed to scratch, and the dragon tried to open it, but the door did not budge. Even when the capital was destroyed by the existence of darkness, this place alone did not collapse a single cornerstone.

The only ones who can open it are those who have trained the sword. Even the Swordmaster can't open the fifth time. Such a strong restriction was laid out only for the sword in front of him. I was curious again. What the hell is black is.

So I hope you find me a way to come.]

"I'll try."

It's a price for him. I'll give you some advice.]

The sword hummed. An invisible glance directed at Asher.

You need to deal with the power you have.

"If it's the power you have."

You became a sodmaster, didn't you get superpowers?]

"Yeah. Was that Swordmaster's power, too? I thought it was a reincarnation effect."

[Swordmaster] It's out of the human world. The limitations of the body are lifted. That's the effect. How many times can you do it now?]

"Ten times."

He has been training steadily for two years and has doubled the number of times he can use his extraordinary powers. In addition, his body was already close to the body in its former life. It was a ridiculous pace of growth.

[Wow, I can't believe I can use it ten times. You're still training like crazy. Try it once.]

Asher picked up the sword.

He grabbed them with both hands and struck them down as soon as he tightened up.

The air explodes and vibrations spread all over the ground.

The sword murmured in a pleased voice, apparently to the power beyond human beings.

[Satisfied] He's one of the top sodmasters I've ever seen. No one was as crazy about self-discipline as you were. But the way you handle power is so simple.]

The sword began to explain as if teaching.

You're moving your body with a human sense, aren't you?]

"Yes."

It's going to be different now. You have a body that is qualitatively different from humans. I'll have to change my body's movements accordingly. I was bored, but that's great. I think it'll be a good time.]

The sword murmured in an excited tone.

***

"I can't believe I'm taught after becoming a sodmaster.”

There's no end to this. Don't nag. Just raise your weapon.]

Asher picked up his weapon without hesitation. He held the sword in his hands and murmured.

"It's been a long time since I've been taught by you.”

In the past, when Asher first came here, she was given this and that advice by the sword. I've been out of crisis several times thanks to what I learned at that time.

"I used the technique you taught me.”

[Not art, it's swordsmanship.]

"No, it's a technique."

[... Never mind. I'll lose if I argue with you. It's annoying. People call it technology outside these days. The world has changed so strangely.]

The sword grumbled. But what Asher thought taught her was art. Otherwise, he couldn't have learned.

Oh. Is there enough food?]

"There are three days."

[That's enough] What I'm going to teach you is the basics. It's up to you to master it and put it into practice.]

"I know that much.”

[Okay, then I'll let you know. You should know how lucky this is. Do you think there's anyone else besides me who can teach sodmasters?]

The sword's voice became serious. A subdued voice reverberated through the space.

As I said before, your body is out of human domain. I'm sure you know it for yourself.]

"I felt it in my bones."

The speed of training of the body was unparalleled in the past. If it were a normal body, it would have been broken and stuck in a small room, but it became hard without breaking anything. The body was neither durable nor resilient.

It was a good thing. At least there was no death in the blind attack.

Sodmaster is one end point that humans can reach. That's why the body is qualitatively different. The general method of training doesn't work at that point. Even if it works, it doesn't work. For him....]

"I've already done it to increase the intensity."

[...what?] There's no way a guy like you wouldn't have done it. I forgot because it's been a long time.]

The sword grumbled in a dumb voice. He coughed and said again, even though he had no neck to straighten out.

Of course discipline is the norm, but that's not all. It's expedient, but there's another way. the most orthodox method

Kill a powerful being and absorb its power. Most of the heroes did it.

Kill the Dragon and drink its blood, or kill the Horse and devour its blood. There are many ways.]

"Dear Dragon's Blood and Blood?"

Asher frowned slightly.

"There were some crazy people who wanted to eat it."

And all of them burst to death without exception. Man could not withstand the power contained in it. Only heroes were exceptions. The sword spoke languidly.

You're a sodmaster. The reason why they couldn't stand it was because they were out of character. You won't do that. It's not right, but it's a convenient way.]

"I don't know if I'll find it."

Asher nodded. The sword continued.

[Then I'll explain how to handle your power] Actually, it's more important to come, but since you don't have it, pass it. Come back when you get it back. You have to control your health.]

"Strength control?"

Yes. Can you handle your power perfectly?]

"No."

Asher shook her head.

The sword said as if it were natural.

[Sure] Normal normal power, the most powerful force you can give now. You can only use two forces to the extreme. Since there is no middle, the efficiency is so bad and the efficiency is not good, so if you use it 10 times, your body can't stand it.]

"That's right."

So when I first realized this power, I thought it was useless power. Over time, I changed my mind that it was enough to be used as a variable, but it was just that much. There was another reason.

You have to control it. so that your body can withstand and last long.

The sword murmured in a light tone.

From now on, you need to control your "power." Give me a little arm strength now. with all one's might

"Okay."

Asher raised his arm and clenched his fist. Power flows through the bones and muscles. The muscles swell as if they were about to burst.

Slow down and don't take it out completely. I think you relax except for human parts. Stretch but not?]

"What kind of explanation is that?"

Asher grumbled at an unrecognizable remark. The sword spoke in a broad tone.

[That's the best explanation. You thought it'd be easy for you to go further than you've spent your whole life. Stop nagging and do it.]

"Crazy."

It's been a long time since I cursed. Come to think of it, it used to be like this before. Feeling a sense back in time, he obeyed the sword.

I tried to understand the words I couldn't understand, as if I had not taken it out.

"… Never mind."

After about an hour. I got a slight feeling.

When I shook my arm, a residual image was drawn in the air and the air exploded. Human beings moved at an incredible rate, but it was slower than the power he could afford, and not too much pressure on his muscles.

[Huh. It's faster than I thought. I thought I'd spend a whole day. That's not bad.]

"I've done enough physical work to make me sick and tired of it.

Asher said calmly. It's not like swordsmanship. No one had the upper hand in simple physical control.

"But I don't think I can hold it for long."

[Because it's hard to give strength] Stay there at least for the time you're here. The more you get used to it, the easier it will be to control it.]

"That's hard."

But when I got used to it, I thought it would be quite useful. There were so many beings in the world that human movement could not deal with. If this condition could be maintained, some response would have been possible.

Don't forget to train your body. Your body has no limits. The more you train, the stronger you will be. And the rest will be easy.]

"What is it?"

[This time, give me a lot of strength]]

The sword began to speak in a funny tone.

[Giving me strength, but it's not the same as it'since now. Don't just beat it, but step by step.]

Asher followed the sword's words and gave strength to his arm. From shoulder to shoulder, slowly, between the muscles. The force slowly came down and reached the hand holding the sword on the wrist.

"…it's dangerous."

Sweat ran down Asher's forehead. His strength in his arms went well beyond his limits. It was difficult to hold onto it.

Hit it as it is. with all one's might]

I couldn't relax now. Finally, Asher raised her arms and struck down the sword.

There was a gale.

Whoo-hoo!

There was a sound that could not have been thought to have swung the sword. The air in the room shook roughly with the sound of a cannon shooting.

You think it's useful?]

"This."

Asher groaned. The force to break the gate had been put on the sword. So far, the power has been beyond recognition, but it has been truly beyond common sense.

It's a secret card. Although it is disposable.]

Flop down.

Asher is down. I couldn't get any strength into my body. It was hard to even speak properly. I managed to tease and mutter the muscles that were not moving.

"Well…."

[All the power. Literally all the power. They say they're out of the human race, but they use up their muscles. There's no way he's fine. Don't worry. I'll be fine in about a day.]

"Ee..."

Of course I didn't say it in part. This is also a way to have a boring time.]

Asher barely made fun of the eyes she was trying to close and glared at the sword.

The sword giggled like a human being.

See you tomorrow then.
