When ‘floating’ is implemented, first the bar full of people disappears, followed by all the tables except for the one we were sitting at.

“uh… Why are you so sleepy… … ?”

thud.

Seeing Hyungmin Kim fall with his head on the table, Leon and I quickly got up and stepped back.

Then Hyungmin Kim’s friend, who had been sleeping since we entered the bar, raised his head.

The energy I felt in the eyes looking at me was something I had experienced before.

‘The power of the source… … .’

It is divine power.

As a 9-star superhuman, being able to make a strong enough hint to not be caught by the [Seeing Eye] means that this guy isn’t human.

I expected to some extent that it was God who called me here.

What I didn’t expect was God’s temperament.

Regardless of whether you are strong or weak, the danger you feel is different from when you face the advent of Apollo.

“Why did you call me here?”

He didn’t answer my question, stared at me, and only when I felt embarrassed did he smile and open his mouth.

But that didn’t answer my question.

[What is that?]

“… What do you mean?”

[That power you are wearing right now. It’s your first time seeing it. What is it that my prank doesn’t work?]

If it wasn’t for the absurd object called the ‘sword of darkness’, he would have made a mental attack to the extent that he would not have noticed that it was a suggestion, and he would consider it a joke.

‘He’s a dangerous guy.’

Fighting should be avoided as much as possible.

If you fight interest, you will intuitively feel that it is unconditionally a loss.

“How about asking questions?”

[Five… that’s good By the way… … .]

His eyes turned to Leon.

[When will you collapse?]

At the same time, his eyes turned gray.

Even though that gaze is directed at Leon, not me, I feel dizzy for a moment.

It must have been difficult for Leon to endure this, being an 8-year-old and having direct eye contact with God.

After a while, Leon closed his eyes and stumbled.

“Leon!”

I grabbed the collapsing Leon and put my fingers to his neck.

[Don’t make a fuss about it, it’s just sleeping.]

As he said, Leon’s pulse was perfectly normal.

‘But this isn’t it.’

After sitting Leon in the chair, I raised my mana.

At this moment, I decided to stick with God.

Through the battle between the saintess and Alice, I have already confirmed that even a god is not invincible, at least in the spirit state.

There’s nothing you can’t do if you stick with it.

‘It ends quickly.’

It was just then that I was about to move my body to surprise him.

[no!]

He held up his palm to me.

“… What’s wrong?”

[do not do that. I will die.]

“You have to live and die to know.”

[This body will die, you fool.]

“… Then you have to kill even more. I know that if you kill a spirited human, that god will take a hit.”

[Don’t you have any questions for me? Are you going to just kill it and end it like this?]

His eyes, which had been meeting mine, slid down to my chest.

I will see Arin.

He was questioning me silently.

Aren’t you curious about the ‘sword of darkness’?

‘The surprise attack was wrong anyway.’

I had no choice but to change my mind.

“If you talk nonsense, I will kill you for real.”

[okay. Calm down your excitement.]

“… … .”

His tone was obviously frightened, but his expression was that of a child who was completely excited.

‘An unpredictable god.’

So it feels even more dangerous.

[Why don’t you take off that curtain first before we talk?]

“What do I believe in you?”

[Ohh… Was it like that?]

God rounding his lips and nodding his head.

From that appearance, I could intuitively know that he had grasped the essence of ‘immobility’.

[This is for you. Don’t waste the karma you don’t already have.]

Even the fact that karma is used for ‘immobility’ and that karma is insufficient enough to be saved.

Now, cold sweat runs down my back.

“after… … .”

You have to make a choice at this point.

fighting or talking.

And if my choice is to talk, I have to turn ‘float’ off.

My current karma is less than 4,000, so all I have to do is keep ‘float’ for 3 minutes.

[I will never harm you. I’m your fan.]

I’m a fan… … .

I hope I’m not bothering you like the fans of Earth.

‘It can’t be helped.’

Sending him back like this is of no use to me.

I need to hear from him about the ‘Dark Sword’ and why he called me here.

“… Trust me.”

I turned off ‘floating’ not just verbally, but for real.

『Release the ‘unshakable will’.

Possession Karma: 2,810』

“… … .”

I waited for a while, but nothing changed.

[Thank you for trusting me. Shall we talk now?]

Before he could ask anything, I opened my mouth.

“When did you hint at me?”

Read at noblemtl. com

God, who seemed to have noticed my intentions, smiled and opened his mouth.

However, the voice that came out of it was a little different from before.

“Hey, let’s have another drink! Do I have to go to work tomorrow? Leave tomorrow’s work to tomorrow’s you!”

These are the words of the people who passed us on the way here.

‘That was an allusion… … .’

Come to think of it, after hearing their conversation, I suddenly had a craving for alcohol.

The problem is that I didn’t feel anything strange at the time.

Will I be able to stop the next similar suggestion?

Just like Arin, who protects the body, he desperately feels that he needs something to protect his mind.

“So why did you call me here?”

[To show you something.]

“What?”

As he rubbed the air with the palm of his hand like cleaning a window, a still scene came to mind where his hand touched.

The image of two people facing each other with a moderate distance.

One of them was someone I knew.

A celebrity in Roden that I saw many times in my previous life through the video sphere.

The only one who took the place of the 5 heroes with no attributes.

father’s friend.

it’s a sword

The man facing the sword castle was the first person I had ever seen.

But from his strong features alone, I knew who he was.

He had sporadic red hair rising upwards, and he couldn’t help but notice that red and blue fire was wrapped around his body.

‘Damn it… … .’

It is the nickname of the superhuman closest to the best in the world.

“When was this video?”

[It’s been less than a year.]

damn… … .

‘My father was so worried.’

It is a swordsman whose whereabouts have been unknown since the gate was created.

My father didn’t want him to meet the demon.

But I guess we met in the end.

“The swordsman… Are you alive?”

[Look at it once.]

Right.

When he snaps his fingers, the frozen video plays.

The flames of Yeomma sway like a living creature.

The Sword Saint did not show any fear in front of him.

The two confronted each other with their mouths shut.

“I can’t hear you.”

[It’s not perfect because the memories were taken from the land of Roden. In Roden’s realm, I can’t do as I please. Just guess and look at it.]

As soon as God’s words were finished, the battle between the two, competing for the strongest in Roden, began.

The sword was so fast that only afterimages could be seen even in my eyes, which had become a 9-star superhuman, and headed towards Yeomma.

After that, only the flashing sword and fire were visible, but I couldn’t even see the fight between the two properly.

Those two were truly the strongest in Roden, to the point that I couldn’t last even a few seconds if I didn’t use karma.

[Is it a bit fast for you now?]

Right.

When Shin snapped his fingers, the two’s movements slowed down.

Speed slowed down to 1/5.

Only then could I properly see the war situation.

‘Is it really a demon?’

While the Sword Master moved without rest, the Yeomma just stood still.

Even so, only the Sword Saint is hurt.

The swordsman, engulfed in flames, sizzled and fired a series of attacks, but was unable to land a decisive blow.

His sharp sword strength, which seemed to have nothing in the world that he couldn’t cut, melted when he got close to Yeomma.

‘That’s… It’s a fire that makes no sense.’

The fire that exists within a 1m radius of Yeomma seemed to be of a different dimension.

After a while, the swordsman gave up the pointless attack and retreated.

It was then that Yeomma, who had been standing still, took her feet off the ground for the first time.

A demon that rushes at the same speed as the Sword Saint.

His purpose seemed obvious.

Bringing the Sword Saint within 1 meter of oneself.

‘I have to retreat.’

As long as there is no way to break through that 1m fire, there is no choice but to run away. That’s nothing to be ashamed of.

I thought so.

But just then, an unexpected thing happened.

The swordsman held out his sword in front of him, closing his eyes without avoiding it even after seeing the enchanting demon approaching.

It was an action that could hardly be regarded as an attack, but the approaching Yeomma hurriedly stopped and kicked the ground backwards.

And soon I saw an amazing scene.

The Sword of the Sword Master, which looked like a shabby iron sword, turned black like darkness, and flames spewed out from the body of the backing Yeomma.

The flames did not appear to have been spewed out by the demon.

Yeomma’s face, looking at the fire with a puzzled expression, tells us this.

The fire from Yeomma’s body moves back and forth between the Sword Master and the Yeomma as if they were playing tug-of-war.

However, Yeomma soon stiffened his face and stepped back, and the flames were sucked into the Sword Master’s sword.

After that scene, the video disappears.

‘Does it really exist?’

I thought it was simply a sword designed by God to deceive me, but I guess it wasn’t.

If this video is real, ‘Sword of Darkness’ is also real.

“Why did you turn it off?”

[The memory of the earth ended there. The darkness emitted by the sword must have absorbed the memories afterward, right?]

I wanted to make sure.

“Is that the ‘sword of darkness’ Kim Hyung-min said?”

[okay.]

“Is what you showed me true?”

[okay.]

“What happened next?”

[You said that the memory of the earth was cut off.]

“So you don’t know either?”

He smiled at my question.

[It has a surprisingly sharp side. Yeah, I don’t know.]

“What happened to the Sword Master and the Flame Demon?”

[There is no obligation to tell you that, right?]

“Then why did you show me this?”

God smiled and asked me back.

[Greedy Martin. After seeing the ability of the dark sword, don’t you want to make it yours?]

“… … .”

Undeniable.

It did not stop the attacking fire, but the ‘sword of darkness’ that forcibly drew fire from the flame and absorbed it.

Even though it does not have the ability to convert absorbed power into magical power like Arin, the ‘Sword of Darkness’ was a sword that could be given the SSS rating with just that ability.

‘sh*t… … .’

I realize it when I see the smiling face of God.

From the moment I started watching the fight between the Sword Master and the Enma, I had already fallen for his trap.

I can never give up the ‘sword of darkness’ now.

[I can tell you where it is, if you want.]

“Isn’t it from the firebird?”

[no. Originally, I should have gone to the Phoenix, but something blocked me and I went somewhere else.]

“… Won’t you just let me know?”

[Obviously said.]

After all, there are conditions.

It probably has something to do with why that god created this place.

I asked straight forward.

“What do you want?”

After looking at me with a serious face for a moment, he opened his mouth.

[As long as you can, protect the earth.]

“… earth? Can I do it alone?”

How can I stop the destruction that even the teenage hunters on Earth can’t stop?

[I said within your power.]

“The expression is too ambiguous. Isn’t that a word that can vary enormously depending on how you interpret it?”

[You can’t trust me that much?]

“I can’t believe it.”

Read at noblemtl. com

God sighed and opened his mouth again.

[Then I’ll say it again. Please don’t give up before you even start.]

At this moment, I felt the sincerity of his words.

He wasn’t trying to catch something, he really wanted to save the earth.

“It’s not that difficult.”

conditions have improved greatly.

It means that you can give up at any time after starting.

‘I gradually came to like the Earth.’

After all, I had no intention of watching the earth perish.

Anyway, now it’s my turn.

I asked right away without wasting time.

“So where is the ‘dark sword’?”
