Chapter 589: The Evil Sword and Sierra

Fran and Sierra stared at each other in silence. But Fran was just as silent and expressionless as usual.

Eventually, Sierra looked away and walked past Fran to get past her.

But at that moment, Urus.h.i.+, who was standing beside Fran, grew huge at once and intervened between Fran and Sierra.

Grrrr

Urus.h.i.+ growled with the full force of intimidation. Sierra stopped in surprise at his reaction, which was even laced with killing intent.

However, Urus.h.i.+s gaze was not on Sierrabut on the sword at his hip.

Does it mean it was his magic sword that Urus.h.i.+ is wary of? No, but that didnt explain this reaction. Was it because the person releasing the killing intent was in possession of a powerful magic sword?

I wondered as I appraised Sierra and his magic sword.

Not that it matters, but

Sierras status was the same as before. He was certainly strong for his age, but his abilities were at best at those of a D-ranked adventurer.

But after appraising the sword, I understood why Urus.h.i.+ was so wary.

What! All of its descriptions were displayed as unknown!?

If the opponents rank was higher than mine and the appraisal fails, it would end up not showing up anything rather than showing up as unknown.

The only things that showed up as unknown were evil people and things possessed by an evil spirit. Come to think of it, Urus.h.i.+ should had the skill to detect evil spirits. So, Im sure he had sensed a very small amount of evil in the sword that even Fran and I couldnt detect.

Urus.h.i.+, hold back a little

Grrr

Urus.h.i.+ reverted to his large dog size and lessened his intimidation. However, he was still in a position to attack at any time. Sierra, who could understand this, was bracing himself with a sense of caution.

That sword Where did you get it?

Do I have to tell you?

We had never heard his voice before. It was higher-pitched than we expected.

I can sense the evil in it

Then?

Nothing

Hmph

His reaction now, Sierra seemed to know that there was an evil spirit hidden in his sword. Honestly, we were not sure what to do now.

But we couldnt sense any evil in him, and just because he had an evil weapon didnt mean he was evil.

It was the same for me. No, rather, am I even worse? After all, a part of the Evil G.o.ds soul was sealed in me. Was it evil of Fran to use me? No, not at all. It was just that the sword Im using has a bit of a story behind it.

I guess its the same for Sierra.

The boy frowned uncomfortably and walked away. It was amazing that he was only slightly surprised by Urus.h.i.+s intimidation. In terms of his ability, it wouldnt be strange if he would instantly die from being shocked It seemed that he had tremendous courage.

It was then at the moment after he avoided Urus.h.i.+ and pa.s.sed Fran, Sierra stopped and opened his mouth.

Weena Rhyn might kill Romio

! What do you mean?

But the fact that she decided to do it means that it needs to be done. And when she does, dont do anything you dont have to do

Wait! Please explain!

Just ask Weena Rhyn yourself

That was all Sierra said and tried to walk away, but Fran wouldnt let him. She walked around in front of him and glared at him.

The power of the Evil G.o.ds Sacrament is hidden in Magnolias bloodline. But if she uses that power, Romio will die

Evil G.o.ds Sacrament?

It is a fearsome grace given by the Evil G.o.ds to rule over the evil people, to devour them, to absorb their Evil Soul, and to transform them into power. That is the Evil G.o.ds Sacrament possessed by the Magnolias. The Grace of the Evil G.o.d pa.s.sed down to each family is what gives the three Gordician families their power

The three Gordician families were the guardian families that were supposed to keep the Evil G.o.ds at bay, right? They are Magnolia, Camellia, and Wisteria. Ive heard that theyve already been ruined though

But now hes telling me that they were empowered by the Evil G.o.d? In other words, they wors.h.i.+pped the Evil G.o.d? And yet, they sealed away the Evil G.o.d?

Was it given by the Evil G.o.d?

Youre gonna have to find out for yourself. Whats important now is this lake. The magic beast sealed in here has also taken in the power of the Evil G.o.ds piece. The best way to suppress its power is to sacrifice Romio and use the power of the Evil G.o.ds Sacrament to seal it

Oi, oi, the huge magic beast in this lake has even had the power of the Evil G.o.ds?

How do you know all this?

Certainly, Sierra knew too much about Romio. It was hard to believe that he could know so much from mere research. However, there was no way Sierra would answer it.

Its none of your business. Just stay out of my way and Weena Rhyns. Thats it

Sierra told her so with a cold expression on his face, to which Fran replied in protest.

Romio will not die!

? You, arent you supposed to be Romios enemy?

Why?

Youre an enemy of Zelos Reed, arent you?

Nn. Zelos Read is my enemy. But Romio isnt really an enemy

Tsk

How much does Sierra know about anything? Im not sure why he even knew about Frans relations.h.i.+p with Romio and Zelos Reed.

Who was he? I wondered, and Fran questioned Sierras back as he was walking away.

Are you Romios big brother?

Im not

Sierra only answered with that and disappeared into the crowded streets of the town.

Romios big brother? What made you think so?

He knew a lot of things

I see. Well, I guess thats why he even knows about the power of Magnolias bloodline and all that

Moreover

Moreover?

He looked like Romio

Is that so?

Sure, they had the same hair color, but did they look that much alike?

Nn, their eyes look similar

Eyes?

Their eyes are similar when they stared at me

Ah, now that she mentioned it, they may indeed be similar. Romios eyes towards Fran, and Sierras eyes towards Fran. The sharp eyes mixed with hostility; the feel was very similar.

Why did he teach Fran such a thing? What was he aiming for?

I wonder who exactly he was. Anyway, Im sure he was no ordinary adventurer.
