Chapter 361

Alistair regretted that she was unable to complete the a.n.a.lysis .

Also, I dont even know why Master was sealed inside a sword .

The reason why I was sealed?

Yes . Considering the timing, the mysterious soul was first sealed in the remnant of the Discarded Divine Sword Cherubim for the purpose of protecting itself . Then, someone built a mysterious system and arranged for the power of the mysterious soul to be used by the swords main personality or in this case Master .

Ah

We can only speculate as to why they did so, but I think it was for the sake of the mysterious soul . If the number of magic stones it absorbs increases, the stronger itll become, then the person that has equipped the sword will continue to voluntarily absorb more magic stones . In doing so, the mysterious soul will be able to recover faster too .

I see . So were doing exactly what the creators of the sword might have intended us to do . No . Am I on the creators side? And if thats the case, should we say that Fran was the one were looking for?

Still, I wont complain about this because it is useful for Frans sake anyway . Rather, I am grateful towards this system . After all, it was because of this system that I was able to meet Fran .

However, the following words from Alistair made me feel like I was doused in cold water .

But is it really necessary to have Master?

Eh?

Maybe Masters soul was locked up in the sword at the same time as the mystery system was built . It should be so because Masters soul and the system are paired together . But do we really need Master in this system?

Master is indispensable!

Fran, who hadnt said a word and had been listening intently to us previously, opened her mouth for the first time in a long while . I guess she was just trying to keep quiet so we wouldnt be disturbed . You have really grown up, Fran, to be able to listen to a difficult story without dozing off even a bit! Im a little impressed .

However, the moment she heard words that she couldnt just ignore, she couldnt help but shout her thoughts out loud .

Dont look at me like that . Im not saying it in a bad way . Its just that I am worried . Why did they have to go through all the trouble to seal Master in the sword just to have him act as a mediator of all this power? Couldnt they just let the person who equipped the sword to directly wield the power of the sword?

When you put it that way The sword had the ability to share skills, and we have Announcer-san . I suppose its possible for the wielder of the sword to choose their own skills and draw the power from the sword without me .

Ah . Am I simply a leftover, an unwanted child?

We need Master! Its only because I have Master, and because I could count on him that I could get this far!!

Fran

Hmm!

Im glad I was Frans sword!

Well, Im not saying that its completely useless either . Theres a certain amount of merit to the fact that the sword itself has its own will . Besides, theres no way that a high cla.s.s blacksmith who has created so many swords would imitate sealing a human soul into a sword for no reason . Not to mention, sealing a human soul to a sword isnt an easy task . Therefore there must have been something, an important reason why he put Master as the main personality of the sword . Well, I wasnt able to find out anything about that from my a.n.a.lysis though

No, we managed to find out about a lot of things, and all of it was pretty significant for me . Isnt that right?

Now, I understood better what my powers were, and I came to know of the name Elmera . It also turns out that I was potentially created from a discarded divine sword . This was a huge discovery .

I dont know if it has anything to do with Masters role, but theres one place in the sword thats completely beyond my a.n.a.lysis . Should I say the deepest part? Its in the deepest part of the sword .

Are you sure?

Yes . I am sure . No doubt about it . Only, this part is different from the others, and its designed to prevent a.n.a.lysis and appraisal .

Could you guess what kind of function it has?

There is too little information . I have no idea what it does or how it works . Im sorry, but I really dont have any ideas .

She blamed herself again for this, but I think Alistair has done really well . If it wasnt for her, we wouldnt have gotten this much information . And its not like I didnt know what to expect . I had come up with a possibility after hearing the results of Alistairs a.n.a.lysis so far .

I have a little hypothesis or maybe its more of a wild guess about the ident.i.ty of the mysterious soul, but I have a bit of an idea .

Oh? What is your hypothesis?

Well, its just a possibility but . .

Ive been thinking about the ident.i.ty of the mysterious soul . And I think Its Fenrir . Well, I know that I might be overestimating myself by saying this, thinking that the legendary Demon Beast could being sealed inside me .

The wolf emblem design on my handle . The name of the place with the pedestal I was stuck on was the Plains of Demon Wolves . The legend of Fenrir that was once roaming in the plain . The t.i.tle of Divine Wolfs Attendant that Urus.h.i.+ possesses . The fact that the mysterious soul is a demon beast .

We could list any number of possibilities . But with this information that we have gathered so far, that was the only conclusion I could come up with .

I see Fenrir huh?

I see Fenrir huh?

Yes, what do you think?

Its not out of the realm of possibility . Some divine swords have those kinds of demonic beasts in their swords to borrow their power . There is also a type of magical sword called a magical beast weapon that is used to contain magic beast souls .

Isnt that the same as manipulating the soul? Didnt you said you it was almost impossible to manipulate and seal a soul in a sword?

It is very difficult to control the soul . However, it is not impossible to create it with a body that is deeply connected with the soul and seal the soul altogether into the sword .

What kind of other divine swords are there?

Im interested in that too

As for the items used to seal demonic beasts, the Demon Kings Sword Diabolos, the Tyrannical Dragon Sword Lindwurm, the Serpent Emperors Sword Jormungand, and the Golden Dragon Sword Eldorado were also used in the past, although Eldorado is already broken now .

Alistair counted on her fingers as she stated the names of the swords . However, Fran looked like she was curious about a different part of the story .

Even though it was a divine sword it still breaks?

Im curious about that, too . In the list of divine swords I saw before, there were names of swords that were already destroyed

In addition to Cherubim, Judgement, and Meltdown, which were said to have been discarded at the behest of the G.o.ds, the names Fanatics and Holy Order should have been listed too as destroyed divine swords . And now she mentioned the name Eldorado . Was it also destroyed unexpectedly?

Ah, its simple . Divine swords are rarely destroyed . But there are exceptions . When a G.o.d or divine grade blacksmith makes a move themselves . Another way would be when they get destroyed in a battle between divine swords .

Ah Of course it was like that . G.o.d swords could certainly destroy each other .

For example, the divine sword Fanatic has quite a dark history behind it . Dionysus, the divine blacksmith who created this sword, was a blacksmith who had a certain inclination .

Inclination? What kind of swords did he create?

Instead of turning the user into a warrior, Berserk, the mad divine sword, makes the user run out of control and turns mad instead . It is said that he sacrificed a saint to create it, and it also had the ability to control the demon, Diabolos . Hypocritical Sword Pacifist brainwashes others into becoming puppets . There are many people that get their desires and dirty sides reflected onto the swords they create .

Indeed, the divine sword Fanatic that was made by such a guy would be no ordinary sword .

Fanatic is, to put it bluntly, a sword that connects people together in spirit .

? Whats so bad with that?

Does that mean it has something like telepathic powers?

People connecting with each other in spirit Does it mean you wont have any quarrels with each other because you could understand all of each others thoughts? However, Alistairs explanation was even more appalling than expected .

Im sorry . It seems like I didnt say it well . Fanatic has the ability to force the mind of the person they dominate to integrate into themselves .

Integration? Two people become one? And if so, what about the body of the one being

eaten?

This ones a little outrageous .

Fanatic was able to integrate the spirit of others into themselves, but also maintain a connection to their original bodies . As a result, the body may appear to be a separate organism in motion individually, but the soul inside is in fact the soul of the owner of the divine sword, Fanatic .

I guess you could say that the owner of Fanatic is moving multiple mentally connected bodies at the same time . However, since the original owner of the physical body is integrated into Fanatic, it seems that the external surface can behave as it is .

The whole spirit takes in others and fuses them together . As a result, you can own all of their memories, experiences and emotions . But do you think those who have taken in the memories of dozens or hundreds of people can keep remaining sane?

I dont think so .

Exactly . The spirit of the owner who continued to use that sword grew so large that he could no longer retain his sense of self . In the end, he started turning crazy . The Holy Spirit Sword Holy Order was created by the earliest divine blacksmith Ulmer, who saw the Fanatic as dangerous, to counter it . It was apparently a specialized divine sword acting as an anti-Fanatic . As a result, both sides collided, and both sides were destroyed together .

So there are a lot of different types of people who are divine blacksmiths, and theres a lot going on between them .

I believe Ulmer was the guy who made the first divine sword, wasnt he? He was supposedly the creator of the Beginning G.o.d Sword, Alpha .

You know your stuff . Thats right . Hes a legendary man who received a divine revelation and became the first divine grade blacksmith in history .

Did Ulmer and that Dionysus live in the same era?

They were brothers, you know . Apparently Dionysus was his older brother all along .

I thought he was Ulmurs apprentice when he was blacksmithing, and he picked up Ulmurs divine skills while he was being ordered around in the smithy .

But Dionysus was fiercely jealous of his brother, who was recognized by the G.o.ds and revered as the best blacksmith in the world . As a result, he went through his brothers work, stole the techniques of a divine grade blacksmith, and became a divine grade blacksmith on his own .

Isnt that amazing?

To be honest, he was most likely a genius . In a book left by Ulmer, he wrote, My brother is the true genius . That is why he is dangerous . As a result, two divine blacksmiths were born in the same era, and many divine swords were created .

Now I understand after all this explanation . Thats why this Dionysus guy produced so many weird swords, but I think he was just trying to match his brother . In order to surpa.s.s his brother, who made orthodox swords, he must have created many specialized divine swords with unique abilities to surpa.s.s his brother .

Weve digressed . But anyway, I think in normal circ.u.mstances its rather impossible to seal off Fenrir completely in a sword .

So, it means that the person who helped Mr . Mystery Soul was also the person who wants to help Fenrir, and he is the one that made me, right?

That would only apply if the mysterious soul is indeed Fenrir

At least it meant its worth looking into Fenrirs story in the future . Well, if the mysterious soul wasnt Fenrir, then it would be a waste of effort .

Never mind We shall cross that bridge when that time comes I guess .

So, lets head back to the Plains of the Demon Wolf once more .

Hmm .
