27. Sealed Sword (2)

[Sealed Demon Sword]

[Rank: Hero]

[Description: A sword used by the Demon King in the past. The first seal was lifted after meeting someone qualified.]

A crimson glow rose from inside his skull and he stared at the translucent window in front of him.

Words that caught my eye, like the magic sword and the first seal, caught my eye.

Hyunseong took his eyes off the system window and stared at the sword.

-What, is this your first time seeing a talking sword?

‘Oh, this is my first time seeing you.’

I couldn’t bring myself to say it out loud, so I answered in my head.

If he had a face, he would not be able to hide his embarrassment.

During the process of learning martial arts, there was a phrase like ‘Listen to the voice of the sword’.

However, it was not the sword actually speaking, but rather something like, ‘Realize the idea that you were unaware of’ contained in the sword that he was wielding.

-I guess this is the first time I’m seeing you.

“… … .”

-So where is your master?

“……master?”

What is this?

As a question mark appeared above his head, the black vibrated faintly and he began to speak.

-The person who released my seal.

“…I solved it?”

-… … Don’t joke around.

“No, really.”

-There’s no way a skeleton can break the seal of a warrior! And I just felt an incredible amount of energy flowing into me!

A sword that mutters that its energy is something that a skeleton cannot possess.

When you say tremendous energy, are you perhaps referring to the Heavenly Demonic Power?

As Hyunseong poured his internal energy into the sword, the sword body rang as if in affirmation.

“this?”

-Yeah, this… energy… is… .

A guy whose voice is getting smaller and smaller.

I seemed to have noticed where the energy was flowing from.

-… … .

“… … .”

-Is this true?

The sword muttered in disbelief.

The guy who seemed to be thinking about something and remained silent for a while soon asked himself a question.

-So, where is this?

“Labyrinth 2nd floor.”

-…labyrinth?

“…?”

A sword that came out of a labyrinth, yet doesn’t know about the labyrinth’s existence.

I thought the story wouldn’t progress properly if things continued like this, so I told him about the labyrinth, the situation, and how I came to obtain the sword.

-No, what the hell happened while I was sealed?

It seemed like he didn’t know anything because he was sealed before the labyrinth was created.

Hyunseong stroked his chin and became lost in thought.

‘That means-‘

Does this mean that this is not the place where the labyrinth was created?

Or maybe this sword was made to be like this?

Since it was a problem that I couldn’t answer right away, I decided to focus on the task at hand.

“So, what should I call you? It’s uncomfortable not having a title.”

-It doesn’t matter what you call it.

“Then I’ll call you Geomgeom.”

-I absolutely hate it.

“… … .”

Geomgeomi answers immediately in a displeased voice.

Hyunseong clacked his jaw as if he was dumbfounded by the speed of the reaction.

“No, you can call me whatever you want. That’s why I named it.”

-That’s your name? You’d better melt me ​​in the furnace, you skeleton.

“Then the Demon Sword?”

-I hate it even if I die. I was called the Demon Sword in the first place, not the Demon Sword.

“?”

What is this sound of someone banging a bell while sleeping?

As a question mark appeared above Hyunseong’s head, Magum continued speaking.

-The Demon Sword, the Demon King’s Sword, the Holy Sword, the Hero’s Sword, the King’s Sword. And sometimes, the Primal Sword, and so on. Depending on who was using me, I was called by various names.

“Holy Sword? Not the Demon Sword?”

The description clearly stated that it was a sword used by the Demon King in the past.

-I am just a sword. Whether warrior or demon lord, I can only be used by those who are qualified to use it.

“indeed.”

Hyunseong nodded as if he understood what Geom meant.

In the end, weapons change depending on how the person using them uses them.

The Cheonmasingyo’s treasure, the Cheonmasingeom (天魔紳儉), was called the greatest magic sword in the sect.

However, the Cheonmasingeom itself is just a sword made of eternal cold iron.

If the Heavenly Demon Sword was in the hands of the leader of the martial arts world and not in the hands of the Heavenly Demon, it would have been called the peerless divine sword.

-The last one to use me was the Demon King, and the warrior who defeated him thought I was a demon sword and sealed me. The real demon swords are those that drive their owners crazy.

If you look at it that way, it was a misnomer to call the sword in his hand a demon sword.

“Then you wouldn’t hate the Holy Sword either.”

-Get that fucking sword out of the way.

Hyunseong was troubled.

The only time I’ve ever put this much thought into a name is when I was making up an online game nickname.

How heartbreaking it was when I was told that the nickname I had chosen after much thought was not acceptable because it was a duplicate name.

‘Is my naming sense that weird?’

Hyunseong thought that his own sense was pretty good.

In fact, this happened because when he was in the martial arts world, no one complained even though Hyunseong gave him a strange name because of his position as Cheonma.

Ma Cheon-gang, the only one who could say something to her, just looked dumbfounded and didn’t bother to point it out.

Since no one pointed it out, I ended up thinking that my naming sense wasn’t bad.

‘Geomgeom-i, mageom-i, seonggeom-i. It’s easy to understand, right?’

Even if someone doesn’t know something, can’t they tell what it is just by hearing the name?

It could be said that it was a name that had both utility and usefulness.

Similar context to Brin’s name.

but,

-Isn’t there a more proper name besides that?

It seemed as though he would never tolerate himself being called by that name.

While I was pondering over the name, the seal was released and the changed appearance of the sword caught my eye.

As if the rust that had clung to it had been removed, the sword blade that had been sealed for a long time and had become faded was neatly transformed.

Like pure white snow.

“Then… how about Seol-ah (雪牙)? It means teeth as white as snow.”

-Not bad.

The name Seol-ah seemed to like it, and the sword rang faintly.

Now that we’ve decided on a title, it’s time to have a proper conversation.

Hyunseong looked at the sword and his jawbone rattled.

“Anyway, if what you say is true, then I am qualified to use you?”

-Yeah, that’s right.

“You won’t be bored.”

Who would have thought that I would see a weapon speak in my lifetime?

It was something I would have to live a long life to see.

“Come to think of it, the description says it’s the first seal, but that means there could be a second or third seal. How many more seals are there?”

-Well, I don’t know for sure since the seal was made by the warrior.

“Then, how do I break the seal?”

-The one who sealed it would know.

“So in the end, you don’t know anything.”

Hyeonseong, who was sighing softly, raised the energy of Cheonma Shingong just in case.

The reason Seol-ah woke up was because she had infused her inner energy while practicing herbs.

Then I thought, wouldn’t it be okay to inject a little more internal energy?

“There is no response.”

Is it that my thinking is off track or that I simply lack the inner strength?

Nothing happened.

Seol-ah felt Hyun-seong’s inner strength and then spoke.

– It’s definitely a tremendous amount of energy. I think I know why my seal was released right away. But… why is it that you’re a skeleton with all this power?

This was the most puzzling thing.

If you feel the aura of domination from Hyunseong, it is not something you would feel from a skeleton, but something that you would feel from a higher level monster like a Death Knight.

Hyunseong shrugged his shoulders as if he was whining.

“Why a skeleton? That’s what I want to ask. So, how does it feel to be in the hands of a skeleton that is nothing but bones?”

-It’s the worst.

All beings who have used Seol-A until now have been extraordinary beings.

The best knight of the sect.

A king who destroyed the religious order and established a nation.

A general who committed treason and became king.

The dragon that destroyed the country.

The hero who defeated the dragon.

However, the energy of the Heavenly Demon God that Seol-ah felt told her that it was more qualified to use her than any other being she had ever seen.

‘I feel like I’m on top of everything.’

But why is a being with such an aura called a skeleton?

At that moment, Brin approached where Hyunseong was.

“What are you doing?”

“Oh, that’s…”

-What is this goblin?

“Keruk?!”

Brin opened his eyes wide in surprise.

“My disciple, my name is Brin. Brin, this black snow is called Brin.”

“Keruk? Is that a talking sword?”

-…student?

The goblin is the skeleton’s disciple.

What on earth is this weakest monster combo?

-The world is turning upside down.

It was an area that could not be understood with the common sense we knew so far.

At that moment, Hyunseong suddenly felt a sense of discomfort.

“……wait for a sec.”

-what’s the matter?

“How did Brin hear your voice?”

Seol-ah spoke directly into his head as if sending telepathy.

If that’s the case, then it would be normal for Brin not to be able to hear Seol-ah’s voice.

-Because I said so.

“How can you hear without a mouth?”

-Then why do you have a mouth to talk?

“… … .”

When you say that, I have nothing more to say.

Because it was the same for him, he had no organ to speak up.

-It’s like my unique ability.

“Unique ability?”

-How many people do you think have used me so far?

A long period of time, hundreds, maybe thousands of years, that seems like nothing special.

There have been a lot of users over the years and their languages ​​have also been very diverse.

However, it was impossible for the swordsman Seol-ah to learn new letters every time her master changed.

That meansㅡ

“Is it something like telepathy?”

-You could see it that way. Things like telepathy are possible.

The ability to communicate without using language.

The sword he held in his hand was what he had.

‘If I had this abilityㅡ’

It was said that communication with humans was possible through Seol-ah.

Hyunseong let out a cheer.

Who would have thought that one of the things that had been bothering him would be solved by such a coincidental opportunity?

“Is communication possible with any being?”

-Of course, you can talk to them regardless of language, and you can even talk to animals and monsters, as long as they exist.

Seol-ah answers with a proud voice.

Even if you just think about it, it was an incredible ability.

There are so many different languages ​​in the world, but in front of Seol-ah, it’s as if there is no barrier.

‘furthermore’

If it exists, then communication is possible.

Isn’t that a god-like ability?

Whether it was a sword or a sword, the ability to communicate alone had a value that could not be converted into money.

“Who the hell are you?”

-It’s just a sword.

“… … ”

An absurd ability to be said to be possessed simply by a sword.

But Seol-ah was talking as if it was nothing special since it was an ability she had had since she first existed.

-Because I don’t know who will use me. It’s an ability I have.

If you are qualified to use yourself, you can communicate with it, whether it be a person, a monster, or something else.

If that isㅡ

‘Even if you are a god.’
