The Sub-Protagonist Is Retiring - The Sub-Protagonist Is Retiring chapter 247

247 – 237.The Demonic Sword of the Beginning-2

After laying the fainted woman and the shopkeeper in a corner.

I picked up the demon sword that had fallen to the ground.

At the same time, I heard a tinnitus close to the scream of a demonic sword in my head.

I let out a snort at the appeal of the demonic sword to kill at least one more person.

I decided that it wasn’t worth listening to anymore, so I handed over the magic sword to Frach, who was doing polymorph.

“Absorb. Even if you resist, don’t let it go.”

“Don’t worry. Do you think so even if you don’t tell me?”

Quad Deuk-!

Prach, who was handed the demonic sword to me, shattered his blade without hesitation.

The demonic sword, which was crushed like a can, slowly disintegrated into particles and slowly permeated into Prach.

I was quite surprised that the absorption of the feeling of merging into one from the shape of the sword was different from the previous method.

Perhaps it was absorbed in a radical way because it hurt me.

‘I thought it was okay… ….’

It wasn’t even a fatal wound, and the wound had already been healed by the troll’s blood.

Furthermore, even though it was a surprise attack that could have been avoided enough, he didn’t deliberately avoid it.

The reason is simply that I used my body to bind it so that the demonic sword could not do any more strange things.

However, from Prach’s point of view, he treated the demonic sword that stabbed me harshly, as if he couldn’t take it lightly.

Feeling apologetic for her, I regretted giving her a word in advance before being hit.

“Contractor, absorption is complete.”

“Then can you tell me what ability it is?”

“…… An explanation will be given later.”

“Why? Do you have any abilities that are difficult to explain?”

“No, the reason why the explanation is postponed is that there is only one demonic sword left until this body is perfected.”

“So you’ve already collected that much. However, given time, you may end up fighting Ignit before absorbing another demonic sword, so I want you to tell me now.”

“Don’t be impatient. I will absorb the remaining one within today.”

“…… The last demonic sword is also nearby, right?”

Prach smiled silently and nodded her head.

“It was in this town.”

“What?”

“Because the energy of the magic sword can overlap. She completely absorbed the demonic sword, but the fact that the energy of the demonic sword does not disappear means that the last demonic sword is also in this village.”

“It was like that. Then do you know what the last magic sword really is?”

“Among the abilities that dwell within this body, there is only one thing that is lacking. Absorption, the identity of the last demonic sword is the demonic sword of absorption.”

“As expected, is the magic sword of absorption the last? ….”

“Do you know about the absorber?”

“Yes.”

I don’t know about other magic swords, but I knew about the magic sword of absorption.

Because the demonic sword that parasitized and inflicted pain on Bern in the original work was absorption.

As its name suggests, the demonic sword with the ability to absorb was a demonic sword that steadily sucked people’s energy and power.

Ben has a powerful power that strengthens the host infinitely by taking power from the opponent, but it had the biggest problem.

If you don’t drain the vitality of others periodically, the magic sword of absorption steals the vitality of the host.

Bern does not hesitate to kill, but he has a firm belief that the problem is that he only kills absolute evil or heinous criminals.

For that reason, there were only a handful of cases in which Vern killed people.

It is possible that bandits and thieves were wiped out during the unmentioned hiatus, but such villains were few and far between.

It was estimated that the days that the demonic sword of absorption would torment Berne would be quite long.

“It also played a big part in making Bern kicked out of the academy and becoming a criminal… ….”

What’s even more terrifying is that the magic sword of absorption is strangely obsessed with Vern, and even the moment he throws it away, it sticks around like an earthly spirit.

For that reason, whenever numerous readers mentioned Bern’s biggest mistake, Pingchang and the magic sword competed for superiority and inferiority, heating up the novel community.

I tend to think that it is the same as Pingchang or Absorption Magic Sword.

“Prach, by any chance, accepting the demonic sword of absorption won’t change your personality or temper?”

“I wouldn’t say there is no change, but it will be minimal.”

“Really? I’m glad.”

I didn’t want the obsession of absorption transferred to Prach.

I just want you to stay the way I saw and felt right now.

As a best friend, a lovely lover, and the only treasured sword in the world.

“Where is the magic sword of absorption?”

“Go outside and head northeast. This is where Rin is headed.”

Puong-!

A small explosion occurred over a well-timed distance.

It was a firecracker-shaped flare given to Rin and Rene one by one before they dispersed.

It is said that he found the magic sword of absorption.

“Let’s go.”

“Yes.”

It was time to cut off another evil entanglement with Bern.

***

The magic sword of absorption was strangely obsessed with Bern, but it took various people as its hosts until it met him.

From ordinary people, fallen knights, reversed mercenaries, undefeated gladiators, and so on.

The host change was repeated, and among them, there was only one person who was uniquely famous.

“The host of this absorption must be Cale von Landgreen.”

The daughter of the famous Countess of Landgreen, who produced a prestigious swordsman.

He was a great senior who graduated before Kang Jun-hyeok and Bern entered the academy, and he was a talented person with a bright future to the extent that he was promised the next guild leader.

However, Cale’s future was severely twisted due to his encounter with the magic sword of absorption.

“Intoxicated with the power of her demonic sword, she committed a serious crime of attacking and killing countless strong people while hiding her identity.”

In the end, the tail was caught and a wanted order was issued for Cale in the kingdom, and Count Rand Green set out to subjugate her daughter himself to restore her honor.

But Cale was incredibly strong, and the landgreen family swordsmen became her food.

Like that, the Countess of Landgreen quickly fell into disrepair and disappeared into history.

[How are you sure she is her?]

“Because before I met Bern, her magic sword of absorption used her as her host. And the downfall of Landgreen happened three years ago.”

[If it had been that long, I would have stored up a lot of power, would that be okay?]

Prach was right.

At the time Bern encountered the demonic sword of absorption, Cale was already in the ranks of the strongest in the world.

Still, it was the whim of her demonic sword that allowed Vern to defeat her and possess her demonic sword.

The reason wasn’t mentioned in detail, but the magic sword of absorption looked more at Bern than Cale.

The demonic sword that finished controlling his host’s mind passed to Bern without causing any bloodshed.

If it hadn’t been for that development, Bern would have become Cale’s food.

“Even if it’s an opponent I can’t handle, I can’t back down. Rin is already on her side, and she is one of those guys who must be tied up. Besides, if you leave her alone longer than now, then she really can’t handle it.”

[You are determined.]

“Of course!”

I headed for the place where the sound of swords colliding with swords was heard.

The result of lightly jumping over small obstacles.

I came across a scene where two women were constantly clashing.

“This is a sharp skill. I had no idea that such a strong person existed.”

“… ….”

“You’re the type of person who doesn’t chatter during battle. If so, I will follow that method.”

Chaeeng-! Chaeeng-! Chaeeng-!

The two women drew another trajectory even before the trajectory created by the clash of swordsmen disappeared.

The speed is difficult to follow unless you strain your eyes and see.

The sparks generated by countless collisions were spectacular.

[Is it the same?]

“No, subtly Rin has the upper hand.”

Keil’s swordsmanship was honest, while Rin’s swordsmanship was irregular and cunning.

The sword strike, which stretched straight toward her neck, twisted in the middle and aimed at her lower abdomen.

The swordsmanship that was close to the technique gnawed at the opponent.

However, Cale didn’t slow her down as if she didn’t care about her minor injuries.

She rather increased her speed as she bleed.

“If we go to a long-term battle, there might be a composition where we are pushed back to become Rin.”

Compared to Rand Green’s swordsmanship, Rin’s swordsmanship was flawless and elegant.

However, since her opponent was using a cheat called the magic sword, she couldn’t overwhelm it.

“Above all, if Rin accidentally cuts her even lightly with the magic sword, her power will be taken away. If that happens, the difference between her powers will definitely widen.”

[Then shouldn’t we hurry up and come up with a countermeasure?]

“There is no need to take any specific measures. We have already prepared measures to overcome this situation.”

[You’re not saying you’re going to fight as a group, right?]

“Ah, no matter how much I do, I won’t do that.”

[So what are you going to do?]

“Think carefully. The fight we are watching right now is like a duel between Rin and Cale, but it’s different. Since Cale’s reason is possessed by the demonic sword, she is actually fighting the will of the demonic sword.”

[So?]

“Then what would happen if we helped the host regain his sanity?”

[Is there a way to get a woman named Kayle out of the magic sword’s mind control?]

“Of course I do. There are people who excel in that field.”

Afraid to speak, purple tentacles fluttered out of Cale’s shadow.

Cale, preoccupied with the battle with Rin, was caught by Lily’s tentacles before he even noticed her presence.

She hurriedly cut off her tentacles with her sword, trying to help her escape, but before she could, her tentacles penetrated her ears.

From noble mtl dot com

“You mean brainwashing. Traditionally, tentacles were the root, not demonic swords.”

The first game I experienced in my life was also brainwashed by tentacles.

It was so famous that few people knew about it.

Nodding her head, I gestured to Lili to give her a sign.

“Ughhhhh?!”

Cale, who had been silently keeping her mouth shut until now, let go of a nasty moan and started shaking her body.

Lily is restoring her reason by kneading her brain and changing her common sense.

“As expected, tentacles, the performance is certain.”

While looking at her with a warm smile, the magic sword fell from Cale’s hand.

I thought it would just fall to the ground, but on the way the demonic sword changed into a human form.

[That guy… ! Did it even absorb polymorph abilities!]

“It feels like phase 2.”

A magic sword of absorption with black hair reaching down to his waist.

The exceptionally long bangs were covered with one eye, and hostility lingered in the eyes exposed through the parting.

“Wow! Yo, I can’t forgive you!”

A stooped forward posture and a low-pitched voice.

I feel bad for being gloomy, but there was a good reason for her attitude.

It was her posture that was ruining the big, plump chest that caught my eye.

“Okay, it’s time for the new sword union!”

“Get started!”

As I inflated her groin while holding her arms crossed, I was kicked by Frach.

“I will make a deal myself, so the contractor stays here!”

It doesn’t seem like it’s my turn to step out.
