Chapter 135

There was no other way to explain it.

Gerganber was only used forcibly while bound by the Narak King.

Of course, it would have been impossible to even communicate, and even those with qualifications could not notice the existence of Gerganber.

It was probably because the rapport was formed belatedly when Gerganver was liberated.

‘… I don’t know who it is.’

In the case of Oz, various conditions were intertwined, so I was able to figure it out right away.

However, Gerganber was simply trying to communicate while being alone.

In this way, they had no choice but to wait until the qualified person came.

‘The rapport is not going well.’

Enrite was at least once a demonic sword, so she was well aware of the way communication takes place.

Originally, the magic sword had to change the form of magic power and pass it on to those who qualified.

However, Gerganver couldn’t properly transform the magic, and it seemed difficult to even transmit that magic.

In other words, Gerganber was pouring out mana while overdoing it.

‘Calm down. You don’t have to be impatient.’

Enritte caressed Gerganver and tried to calm the strong mana.

Since they had been suppressed for a long time, they were probably trying to end their friendship as soon as possible.

However, he couldn’t do anything in his current state, and he would be able to reach his master only after restoring his strength.

‘It is not yet time. Be patient a little longer.’

Gerganber’s mana was slowly fading and the tremors were subsiding.

Enrite was able to make a little contact with Gerganver just as she had dealt with Timer, the demonic sword of wind.

That’s why Gerganber accepted Enrite’s will and abandoned the sympathy.

‘… That’s what happens.’

Lecia looked at it with a questioning mind.

Enrite had already become a human and was using the moon night magic sword, El Tesoicb.

I wouldn’t have known if it was a demonic sword of light, but now I would never be able to handle other demonic swords.

Even so, he broke the law and had to control the demonic sword of the earth, Gerganber.

‘Can I handle acid rain?’

Acid Rain took the lives of countless people while being stained with greed and negativity.

He couldn’t even control himself, and he was only able to suppress it after being held by Shion Regard.

Enrite would not be able to control it perfectly, but would be able to subdue it to some extent.

‘I don’t know because I haven’t tried it.’

Lesia laughs and meets Enrite’s eyes.

The blue eyes and beautiful face were full of hostility.

When will I be able to show myself a simple smile?

“What are you laughing at?”

“Can’t you just laugh at will?”

“Laugh when you are alone.”

“Are you always like this when I’m with you?”

“That is better. Don’t laugh in my face.”

“It’s my face now.”

“Didn’t you just copy my face!”

“Rather than copying… It had to be like this. This body suits me best.”

“I am clumsy at lying.”

“It’s not a lie.”

“I don’t know what you’re thinking, but you’ll have to keep quiet. If you show even the slightest suspicion, you will die by my hands first.”

Enrite grabbed Gerganber’s hilt and glared at Lesia.

If he made up his mind, he could have killed Lesia right now.

However, he made a promise with Shion, and he had to consider the possibility that what Lesia said was true.

Above all, Lecia was a being who became a human from a demonic sword like herself, so she couldn’t be rejected unconditionally.

“Are you just saying that you will kill me if you see me?”

“Aren’t you the same?”

“I don’t really want to kill you, do I?”

“… I and you have conflicting sources. So it may resonate, but you have no choice but to hate each other more. It is right that you should want to kill me.”

“I wanted to meet you. I had a lot of questions about you. By the way… It took a long time to get here. I wish we could have met a little earlier.”

“… … ?”

Enrithe is momentarily perplexed and cannot bear to speak.

It sounded too much like a lie, but on the contrary, it seemed like the truth was revealed.

As much as she hated Acid Rain, Lecia had to be hostile to El Thesoicb.

However, since they were saying the opposite, I couldn’t help but feel a sense of gap.

“Are you trying to mock me with a few words?”

“I don’t intend to make fun of you.”

“Can you take it as a request to cut your mouth?”

“Don’t let me say anything. Will you keep your mouth shut for the rest of your life?”

“Why do you ask when you know the answer yourself?”

“… … .”

Lecia looked at Enritte with her eyes narrowed.

Enrite indifferently responded to that gaze and showed a sharper gaze.

“Do you want to fight me? Opponents can do it.”

“I didn’t say anything, so why are you arguing in the first place?”

“Don’t be mistaken. You quarreled first.”

“What did I do?”

“The mere fact that you exist makes a difference.”

“… Are you crazy?”

“That is what I want to say.”

Lesia sighed in silence.

It was not enough to hate myself, so I was blocked by prejudice and stubbornness.

It was just absurd from the listener’s point of view if they were forced to do that.

“If I were to be your little sister, would you still be like that?”

“I have never had a brother like you.”

“If I leave like this, you won’t let me go, will you?”

“Do you let go knowing what you’re going to do?”

“Are you annoyed when you see only me?”

“I’ll be happy if I get annoyed.”

“What do you want me to do?”

“It would be better to disappear neatly without leaving a trace.”

“… I shouldn’t have asked.”

Lecia accepts those words with her head tilted aloof.

To some extent, this was an expected reaction, and I knew that it was not easy to get close.

It was just that my guess was so right that I felt sorry for myself.

‘I don’t think I should be here… … .’

Saeran only eavesdrops on the conversation while secretly watching.

I was just going to be swept away by that atmosphere.

In the first place, I could hardly see Enrite pushing someone roughly.

What was even more frightening was that Lesia endured it and responded calmly.

‘I heard that if they’re close to each other, that’s it.’

Saeran feels a strange sense of difference when thinking of Shion and Hanette.

I thought it was something similar but different.

Maybe those two are distinguishing between jokes and sincerity.

‘Am I the only one who can’t adapt?’

Saeran tilts his head as he realizes a faint sense of loneliness.

He seemed to be the only one who couldn’t figure out how things were going.

Even though everyone else accepted it naturally, he was only wondering himself.

‘I’m wrong.’

Saeran belatedly accepted the reality and began to focus on the two.

Maybe it had something to do with how to get stronger.

Because Shion, Hanette, and Enrite were all excellent knights.

‘Then Lesia is also strong? I’ve never seen them fight, so I don’t know.’

Royal Palace, Royal Reception Palace.

Brandis was drinking tea after dinner.

Originally, I would have had a cup of tea by myself in the sleeping palace, but today I was specially inviting guests and serving them tea.

The guest had been secretly visiting at night for a long time, but this time he entered the palace in the middle of the day dressed in a suit.

“How many people do you think know that you are silver?”

“The Royal Knight Commander should know. How many of the high-ranking officials didn’t notice?”

From noblemtl.com

Kaden sips his teacup and smiles leisurely.

Purple eyes gleamed through the pale gray hair.

He was young and even handsome, so any woman would look back at him at least once.

“Is the Royal Knight Commander pretending not to know?”

Brandis doesn’t believe it and puts the teacup down.

As the head of the Royal Knights, Glonet was escorting only herself.

That’s why he didn’t allow suspicious people to approach him, and saw the silver phantom thief as the most dangerous person.

It was to be sure to stop it because it was trying to do something different apart from the mission.

“Isn’t it that you were moved by my heart toward Your Majesty?”

“Ha ha ha! It’s too much of a joke. There is no way the royal knight commander will be moved by your heart.”

“… If you hadn’t recognized me, you wouldn’t have shown any hostility.”

From noblemtl.com

Kaden exchanged glances with Gloone before entering the reception palace.

Glonet noticed something, but let it go without saying anything.

From noblemtl.com

Kaden felt confident from that point on, and could feel a little bit of recognition.

“Isn’t there another reason?”

“For other reasons… I can’t drive out the guests Your Majesty invited.”

“is it. I did invite you.”

Brandis looks at Caden and recalls the report.

Shion Regard defeated the Narak King with Setinos Quasar, and the silver phantom thief seized the sword.

Shion Regiard was nearly killed, but he revived at a belated pace and neutralized all of the Narak King’s attacks.

Even after briefly organizing the contents of the report, it seemed that the future I had hoped for was coming true little by little.

“… Did you hold the sword?”

“Yes, it was an oath with His Majesty, but it was an urgent situation, so I had no choice but to break it.”

From noblemtl.com

Kaden raises a mantra as a Cetinos quasar and shows a serious expression.

The titles Miss Brandis and His Majesty had to be clearly distinguished.

It was because he could sacrifice himself according to his longing for Miss Brandis, but he had to fulfill his duties and take responsibility as a knight under his direct command to His Majesty the King.

“What was the reason for holding the sword?”

“It’s because the white apostle told me about the Narak King’s invasion, and the Narrak King was more powerful than I expected.”

“Why didn’t you come forward until Zion Reggieard was in danger?”

“… Unfortunately, I hesitated. I thought I would be able to block it well even without me.”

When Kaden saw Shion lying down, he deeply regretted it and blamed himself.

He said that if he had acted a little faster, Zion would not have died.

That’s why I tried to do everything in my power, and I always tried to kill the Narak King.

“one… Shion Reggieard has been resurrected?”

“Yes, up until then I was barely surviving. I never thought I would come back to life.”

“White said that too. What was it like fighting the Narak King?”

“It was really great. It seemed stronger than me, White, and Purple combined.”

“Is that enough?”

Brandis is startled and interested.

He had heard that he had become stronger even with the white apostle, but there were more evaluations than that.

Of course, since he had made the most contributions to subjugating the Narak King, he must have excellent military power.

“The Narak King endured attacks and quickly recovered from injuries. No one was able to stop it, but Shion Reggieard killed the Narak King. That’s why I said they were stronger than us.”

“… If so, I’ll ask. Do you think Shion Regard can subdue the other demon lords and the four major disasters?”

Brandis had asked this question to the white apostle as well.

The white apostle gave an answer saying that there is a possibility, but it would be better to watch a little longer.

The silver phantom thief had skills to match, so he should be able to give an appropriate opinion.

“To tell you what I think… I think it’s possible. How about empowering Shion Regard?”
