Chapter 276
It happened in an instant.
Marvas, who had desperately tried to prevent Illeina from drawing the sword, was sent flying hundreds of meters with a sudden shockwave, crashing into a stone wall with a loud thump. The impact left a deep dent in the rock. Marvas’ head drooped. He didn’t even have time to register the pain from his twisted organs before losing consciousness.
A gray mist began to rise from the sheath at Illeina’s waist. Her gaze slowly shifted toward the demon sword. The fury in her eyes was unmistakable.
“Why did you do that?” she asked the sword, but that was the last thing she could say before being silenced by a searing headache. An unbearable agony left her unable to even part her lips, and with a heavy thud, she collapsed to her knees, writhing in pain.
“Guh, guuuh...”
That was just a warning from the demon sword. It projected a message to Illiena.
—How dare you question me? It seems you still do not understand who your master is.
Illeina grunted in pain. She had momentarily forgotten the fear that she should have felt.
Yes. This thing was a demon sword. A Hidden Piece that Solomon himself had once sealed away.
The sword slid out of its sheath, and the moment it did, Illeina was freed from her torment. She reached out with trembling fingers and grasped the blade.
A system message flickered briefly before vanishing.
