Each time she moved to stretch her body, sounds like rocks breaking erupted. And pain. Arisha looked down at her arm. That arm was a supreme weapon, blunter than any club and sturdier than any shield. Defying Heaven had blocked the surprise attack with that weapon. As a result, the weapon was cracked. When Defying Heaven clenched her fist, pain flared up. She repeatedly clenched and opened her fist. As this process continued, the air in the surrounding area began to hold heat. The Group's underground prison. In the darkness of that deep place, it seemed as if a massive mechanical device was burning fuel, spewing out heat and noise. Eventually, Defying Heaven stepped forward. The world was dyed red as if soaked in blood. It was a sight like a red cloth further provoking an already excited beast. This was the world as seen through the eyes of the Star of Defying Heaven, Arisha. The corners of Defying Heaven's mouth tore with all their might. Right now, there was only one thought in her mind. Battle. Thus, the giant woman who had been blown to the far side of the underground prison's darkness returned as an excited beast. "Everyone, get out of here." She spoke immediately upon discovering her companions. It was a low and quiet tone, but a voice that was transmitted clearly like the low-frequency cry of a wild beast. It was a warning sent by a beast that had found its target before pouncing, the last manifestation of fading reason. Now that even that fading reason had been consumed, there was only one path remaining. To become entangled until one side was rendered unable to fight. There was no other way. As if to prove this, Defying Heaven did not wait for them to evacuate. She raised her fist. Like the preparatory stance for throwing a spear. Moving forward in a state ready to launch herself at any moment, the instant she discovered the knight of darkness- "...!" That massive body swayed greatly...Because the knight of darkness. was kneeling before the hero. "What... did you do...?" It was a voice that revealed dissatisfaction more strongly than relief. "Wait, Lady Arisha!!!" From the side, the fanatics raised their voices in concern. Defying Heaven's appearance looked clearly unstable at first glance. That displaced competitive spirit seemed like it would soon be directed at the hero. "It's a being summoned by the Magic Sword, but it seems to be following me instead of the Magic Sword." "...It follows you instead of the Magic Sword? Why?" "I think it's because I have one more?" "..." The heavy breathing that had been like the noise of a massive machine gradually subsided. Light slowly returned to eyes that had been wide open but empty. Defying Heaven muttered while covering her face with her palm. "Aha..." Something better than one Magic Sword: two Magic Swords. It was a simple story that even an excited beast could easily understand. Defying Heaven felt an indescribable emotion and felt her boiling blood cool down again. *** -You half-wit!!! Come to me!!! To your true master!!!!! "...!!!" The outcry filled with Magic Sword: Domination's resentment. The knight of darkness tried to rise from its position and approach it. "No! Sit!!!" But with one "Shh!" from the hero, it obediently knelt down again. -Uaaaaaaak!!! Aaaaak!!! Kyaaaaaaaak!!! 'I feel like I'm going insane.' - If you expressed those words as a scream, wouldn't it be exactly like that? The Magic Sword went into a frenzy, letting out a scream as if its soul was shattering. Risir moderately ignored it and opened his mouth. "So, what do we do with this?" The knight of darkness. It was obediently kneeling before the hero. Nevertheless, the ominous aura it emanated was fully capable of filling the entire place. "From what I heard our kids saying, this seems to be the- the main body of the Magic Sword." "Our kids? Ah." They briefly wondered who Risir meant by "our kids." Even though they had just witnessed the hero conversing with the Magic Swords right in front of them. "...Is there no possibility that the hero's children are lying?" "Yes?" "Ah, I mean- the Magic Swords." Their pupils repeatedly went out of focus and then returned to their proper place. It was the scene of a tearful effort to keep up with the confusing situation. -Well, I wonder how it really is!!! At that moment. One of the hero's children shouted. That is, one of the Magic Swords. The purple sword. It was Curse. -That depends on what you think! Will you listen to the voices of us Magic Swords, or will you be wary of us! Kyahahahahat!!! Curse's shattering laughter mingled with Domination's screams. The expressions of Defying Heaven and the Ash Group members were colored with anguish. Curse's meaningful statement added weight to the doubts they were already feeling. Magic Swords. Their ultimate purpose is to become one again through the main body. In other words, complete resurrection. However, if the main body is exposed to danger and destroyed as is, they would lose their purpose of existence. For example. For a Magic Sword to leak information about the main body is an action that drives itself to ruin. Can such actions of the Magic Swords really be trusted? "Hero, sir. Please understand... We absolutely do not doubt you, but we cannot completely rule out the possibility that the Magic Swords are trying to deceive you-" -You there...! It was Beast's voice urgently interrupting the fanatic's words. -I have absolutely no intention of deceiving you... Whatever those two do... you should not lump me together with them... -That's right...!!! Beast!!! You're doing well!!! Keep inducing their confusion like that!!! -Curse... it is a meaningless act... And for good reason... He, to me... In a place they could not see, the black-haired woman carefully embraced her voluminous black hair. In that state, she glanced sideways at a certain man. It was a gaze where expectation and anxiety coexisted. "..." Risir, who vaguely understood her intention, nodded his head. "Your words certainly make sense. Magic Swords... Night of the Sword- for them, fragments of that ancient most vicious entity, to help destroy the main body. Under normal circumstances, it would be impossible." -Ah... The black-haired woman lowered her head. Why? Perhaps she had made a mistake without knowing it? "However. Her words can be trusted. From what I've felt so far, she is not an ordinary Magic Sword." -Ah...! The woman brightened up. She was wrong. As expected, he was treating her as a "useful tool." The black-haired woman was thoroughly excited by this fact. -That's right... you there... I am... not an ordinary Magic Sword... -That's right, you're doing well... Beast... like that- -Therefore... you don't need to treat me like those two... you don't need to... antagonize and intimidate me... I am always ready to cooperate purely with you... I have... yes... a duty to guide my siblings... Beast added those words quietly at the end. As if it were a line from a favorite song. -Guide!!! Did you just say guide!?! Beast, don't tell me you were behind all of this!?! -No!!! Domination!!! Calm down!!! Right now she's trying to deceive the humans-... Damn it!!! I can't stand it!!! Guide!? Did you just say guide, you bitch!?! It was clearly visible to the eyes of the two Magic Swords. What kind of face the black-haired woman was making right now. She was thoroughly excited as if intoxicated by the current situation. By the current situation of cooperating with the Master of Sacred Sword to drive the Magic Swords into a corner! That completely crushed the rationality of the two Magic Swords. Domination, who had been in a frenzy, and Curse, who had been acting- All of them united in one mind and began to condemn Beast. The effect was minimal. -I understand... you must be jealous... his attitude toward me... that special treatment... but don't worry... if you just try as hard as I do... Beast genuinely pitied them and acted superior. The effect was tremendous. -...Ha, hahaha!!! Ahahahahahahaha!!! -This fucking bitch, I'm going to kill you, somehow we'll reclaim that main body just among ourselves, and tear your worthless body and ego apart until not a trace remains- Domination began laughing as if mad, and Curse's eyes rolled back as she began spewing crude profanity. It was a complete loss of reason. Beast was genuinely worried about the state of her siblings. -You there... I hope you don't misunderstand... not all Magic Swords are like that... Lest he might have some unnecessary misunderstanding while looking at her siblings! -Now let's lose interest in those children... yes... how about we continue the story we were having earlier... Beast began to spill information. Like a maid adjusting her attire while watching a noble's mood. "...What did that Magic Sword just say?" The fanatics carefully asked the hero. For some reason, they no longer felt like doubting that Magic Sword. *** "The main body of the Magic Sword. I don't know for what reason the body of the Night of the Sword, that ancient vicious entity, was sealed in Ifrien, but-" Risir raised the Sacred Sword. "Now that the seed of disaster has sprouted and revealed itself, we cannot leave it be." Destruction. That was the conclusion they had reached by gathering their opinions. "Jallak." -Ooooh!!! Yes!!! It's me again!!! Once again, great collaborative work with me!!! Yes!!! Let's go! Risir! We're going to achieve another great feat together!!! The Sacred Sword emitted holy radiance along with a disgusting sound. The dark underground prison filled with light like under the midday sky. "This is the hero..." Leaving someone's admiration behind, the hero swung the Sacred Sword. The trajectory of that radiance looked as if it could cut through any darkness. The hero's strike headed toward the knight of darkness. Between the helmet and armor- it accurately penetrated that vulnerable gap. Clang! "...!!!" At that moment. Sparks burst out. Just before the Sacred Sword penetrated the gap. The knight of darkness adjusted its posture with exquisite movement and deflected the Sacred Sword with its shoulder blade. "As expected-" Defying Heaven and the fanatics immediately readied themselves. Indeed, they had been thinking inwardly that it didn't make sense for it to be resolved so simply. The knight of darkness. Sensing danger, it would counterattack- "...Huh?" It did not. The knight of darkness deflected the Sacred Sword. And- that was all. The knight of darkness that had deflected the Sacred Sword simply stood still in its place. "..." The hero did not lower his guard. More cautiously than before, and with greater precision, he swung the Sacred Sword at the knight of darkness. Clang! Clang! Clang! Clang!!! ... *** "Huff... huff..." Risir breathed heavily. A faint scent of blood lingered in his breath. Even though he had fully drawn out the power of the Sacred Sword, the effects of overload were beginning to set in. Thus. Risir attacked the knight of darkness using every means at his disposal. From ordinary slashing attacks to Assassination Sword Techniques, and even Magic Swordsmanship. The knight of darkness defended against all those attacks. With its transcendent physical abilities and instinctive movements. Ah. This. Now I understand why they sealed it instead of destroying it. Risir and the others felt such impressions, even if briefly. "Kid- no, hero. Let me step forward once." "Ah! Lady Arisha- please, I'm counting on you." Eventually, the Star of Defying Heaven stepped forward. Thud! The ground shook. There was no hesitation. The descendant of giants immediately drew out her full power and rushed at the knight of darkness with destructive momentum. Thud! With that massive movement, the ground cracked and walls collapsed. At this rate, the massive building in the heart of Ifrien- the Ash Group's residence- would collapse starting from the underground prison. "Lady Arisha!!! "...Tsk-" Eventually, Defying Heaven had no choice but to stop that action. Afterward, the suppression of the knight of darkness was carried out more precisely. Once they realized that its only option was defense, there was nothing to worry about. Defying Heaven, the fanatics, and even the hero. Everyone present rushed forward in unison to attempt to subdue the knight of darkness. After quite some time had passed- They reached one conclusion. Wow. How did they seal this thing? They felt infinite respect for the ancient heroes who had sealed the Night of the Sword. *** Afterward. Risir's party decided to return while taking care of Domination's Magic Sword and the knight of darkness. To transport a Magic Sword and the body of the Night of the Sword. Normally, it would have been a city-scale operation, but- Thanks to the hero, that task was carried out surprisingly easily. The Magic Sword? The hero could just carry it. The knight of darkness? "Follow me!" The hero could just command it. Their awe, which had briefly turned elsewhere, was once again focused on the hero. With a hopeful thought, they said. "How... how about trying to command that thing?" "Command?" "Yes. Tell it to commit suicide." "..." Risir nodded his head. Saying that was quite a clever idea. Risir immediately put that plan into action. "Use this to take your own life." Risir grasped the Sacred Sword with both hands and extended its blade. "..." The knight of darkness did not react. "As expected, it won't be that easy..." Risir scratched the back of his head roughly. Feeling frustrated, he sought advice from Beast. -Currently it is... moving according to instinct while having lost its reason... with only the desire to reclaim itself... its following you is... an extension of that desire... therefore... even if you give commands that go against that instinct, they won't be accepted... "Then how. Is there no way to destroy that thing?" -Someone... would have to go inside it... and understand the command you just gave.. -...Huh? That's right!!! That's it! At Beast's words, Curse shouted in agreement. Someone goes inside there. Because who that someone was was clearly determined. "No, you can't!!!" The Ash Group gathered their voices in horror. "If that terrible thing regains even the Magic Sword's ego and abilities-" Even the Star of Defying Heaven was fed up with the idea. No matter what happened, the knight of darkness and the Magic Sword must not become one. Even if it was Magic Sword: Beast, who was utterly devoted to the hero. -O, you... I too wish to be of help to you, but... when I become one with that thing... I am not confident that I will remain as myself... -What are you saying!!! Beast! You can do it!!! -Seeing Curse acting like that... makes me even more anxious... -You damn bitch!!! Just go in when I tell you to go in!!! Even she was saying the same thing. "Then what on earth do we do with that thing..." Thus. The situation was about to fall back into darkness like an underground prison. -Master!!! I, the unchanging White Flame Dangaleon!!! I will take on that mission!!! A grayish-white fireball that suddenly manifested shouted confidently. The hero's spirit. The fanatics immediately expressed concern. "Hero, sir! No matter how powerful the spirit is, whether it can maintain its ego inside that thing...!!!" Risir repeatedly looked back and forth between the spirit(?) and the knight of darkness before speaking. "...No. As for this spirit(?), that won't happen." Eventually. He made his decision. "..." The state of the knight of darkness was gradually becoming strange. That gaze. It was like a gaze of dissatisfaction. Why aren't you quickly becoming one- There was no telling what might happen if they delayed. They had to take action quickly. "Please, Dangaleon." -I shall obey your command!!! That grayish-white fireball penetrated the gaps in the knight of darkness's armor. "...Huh? Wait- Dangaleon?" At that moment. Someone among the fanatics muttered. Burning Black Fire Dangaleon. The name of that terrible demon, one of the great Ash Group's archenemies. "W-wait...!!! Hero, sir, don't tell me that fireball just now was-" "N-no!!! We have to stop it right now-" Danil and the other fanatics all went into panic and tried to rush at the knight of darkness. However. It was already too late. Whoosh. Flames blazed up from the knight of darkness's eyes. Soon, its body made subtle movements. Like a fawn just thrown into the world. Or perhaps, writhing in ecstasy. "Keu- keuheuk- kahahat- kahahahahahahaha!!!!!" "Ugh...!" The Ash Group members covered their ears and crouched down. The knight of darkness's mad laughter. The presence contained within it seemed to crush them. Eventually. The knight of darkness spread both arms wide and expressed its ecstasy. "Yes, this is it!!! Body! Flesh!!! How much I've longed for this, how much I've awaited this day!!!" "Ahh...!" The Ash Group members could only sigh at that spectacle. "What on earth have we done..." Burning Black Fire Dangaleon. That flame of disaster had returned by borrowing the most vicious body. Now, what it would do was determined. "Aah, seeing it like this brings a special feeling...!!! I believe you will surely understand my ideals!!!" It approached the hero without delay. And- "Master!!! I, the Raging Flame Dangaleon!!! Formally and respectfully pledge my loyalty to Master!!!" It knelt on one knee. Like a knight being ordained. That movement was clumsy yet disciplined, as if practiced countless times only in its mind. "Uh, yes. Right." Risir, swept up by the momentum, placed the Sacred Sword on its shoulder. "Kruaaaak!!! What ultimate ecstasy is this!!!" The knight of darkness adjusted the tip of the Sacred Sword and stabbed it into its own neck. Clatter. The dark armor that had lost its binding darkness scattered across the floor. -Kahahahahat!!! Did you see that, you worthless metallic things!!! In the end, it's us spirits(?) who are most helpful to Master!!! -Kruuk...!!! -Ahh... The fanatics calmly tried to assess the situation. As coolly and objectively as possible. The Master of Sacred Sword had defeated evil with the help of Magic Swords and demons. "What the hell..." This is fucked up. Someone muttered blankly. The fanatics' world was crumbling moment by moment.
