Chapter 551: The Truth of the Sorcery (side: Volk)
…[Destruction God Doldina] is broken, and [Frumious Fang Bandersnatch] has been taken. I only have one sword left. I didn’t plan on using it, but… It can’t be helped.
“[Dimension]”
I chant, reaching out. In my hand, a dark red single-edged sword appears.
“That brilliance… Could it be, the Hero Miia’s Sword of the Unjust God?”
As Howgrey says, this sword was in the possession of the clay brave, one of Hero Miia’s subordinates. Its proper name is [Laevateinn of Life-Cutting]. I picked it up after Irushia cleared the trial. It grants the wielder tremendous power, but with each swing, it cuts away at the wielder’s life.
To be clear, it’s far too much power to fight Howgrey. His physical abilities are no greater than any of the Holy Knights. I would never fall behind him in terms of strength or speed.
His strange step and sword techniques are troublesome, but they aren’t his greatest weapon. His greatest weapon is his talent with the sword, and the sharpness with which he reads the battle. He accurately predicts my movements and uses them against me, leaving me with no recourse and making the fight feel unfair.
It doesn’t make much sense to pad my power further with my weapon, which was why I wanted to fight entirely with [Destruction God Doldina], whose lightness allowed me display my swordsmanship to the greatest extent. However, this is the only sword I have left.
“…To think that, now I have become a minion of Saint-sama, someone would challenge me with that sword. It might be faint.”
