Chapter 59: The Magic Sword
The location Torin pointed out wasn't too far, but not exactly close either. It was nearer to the Empire's capital than the border.
For Leon, it would take about a week of nonstop flying to reach it, which wasn’t that far considering the Empire’s vast size.
After grabbing the map, Leon returned to the inn briefly. He wanted to leave the city as quickly as possible due to the auction, but there was something he needed to check first.
Once inside the orb, Leon retrieved the wooden sword he had won at the auction from his dimensional pouch.
The sword didn’t absorb any mana from the orb, likely because its seal had already been broken.
He placed the sword on the ground, and then pulled out another wooden sword from his dimensional pouch. This was the sword he had carried for a while. He placed it next to the one from the auction.
When he compared the two swords side by side, they looked identical.
‘It’s just a wooden sword, after all,’ Leon thought.
As that thought crossed his mind, both swords started vibrating simultaneously. As if to make their presence known, they emitted a strong vibration that pressed down on the surrounding air.
In an instant, the two swords shot up from the ground and merged into one.
“...”
Leon picked up the newly merged sword.
