Chapter 168: Adding One More
"You want to borrow the power of the ’Divine Sword’? What kind of catastrophe are you referring to? Is it the prophecy from the Heavenly Direction Church?" King Douwin asked, frowning.
"Yes, that’s correct," Aldrian said seriously. "And I must say, if the entire continent doesn’t unite to face the coming prophecy, this continent will fall into the devils’ hands—just as Duke Badin said."
King Douwin pondered for a moment, then looked at Aldrian.
"Even if that’s true, do you really need to use the ’Divine Sword’? Are you certain you can withstand its power? Look, I’m not underestimating you, Aldrian, but this ’Divine Sword’ is unlike any other divine-grade artifact. We’re talking about the peak of the divine grade here—it’s not like the Eternal Spirit."
However, he noticed the strange expressions of Duke Valiard, Mardred, and Xin Haotian. When he looked at Duke Valiard, he saw him raise his hand.
"Your Majesty, may I add my own opinion?" Duke Valiard asked, to which King Douwin responded with a nod.
"If someone must wield the peak divine-grade sword, I believe there is no one more worthy than him, Your Majesty," Duke Valiard said.
"And why do you think that?" King Douwin asked.
"Uhmm, Your Majesty, he is the one who caused the phenomenon not long ago." King Douwin listened, but froze at the realization.
"Sorry? Do you mean he is the mysterious swordmaster?" King Douwin asked, to which the three men responded with repeated nods. King Douwin looked at Aldrian with wide eyes. This young man, whom Duke Valiard held in such high regard, was the great swordmaster? The one who had stirred up the entire continent for the last three years?
"You... you... you’re that swordsman?" King Douwin asked, his voice trembling.
