Survival Story of a Sword King in a Fantasy World

Master of The Sacred Item(3)

They were in a cabin at the foot of the Kellev Mountains.

There was a blizzard as usual, but it was cozy inside the cabin.

The thick wooden walls blocked the cold air from the outside, and the flames of the burning fireplace kept the entire room warm.

A silver-haired girl sat quietly in front of the fireplace.

It was Effir. She was wearing a Magic Tool that suppressed her Force in both hands.

“Excuse me…”

Effir glared at the middle-aged man across from her.

“I don’t know what the hell you were mistaking me for, but I’m not the incarnation.”

Gabe smiled.

“It’s no use denying it, Kybriel’s incarnation. We have Aliens. They’re the ones who have the art of grasping everything just by looking at them.”

A day had passed since she first told them that.

At that point, she felt like giving up, but she insisted quite constantly.

“Can you say the same thing in front of them?”

Of course, Effir could.

As if feeling even more treated unjustly, she yelled.

“Where the hell are those Aliens then?!”

Gabe frowned, looking at Almara and Saltus sitting next to him.

“That’s something I’m curious about, too.”

Despite having no further business there, they were still staying near the Kellev Mountains.

Due to Saltus giving them ‘permission’ to kill, they had to wait for the Aliens.

“They’re late.”

Watching the snowstorm outside the window, Saltus clicked his tongue.

“I shouldn’t have given them one day. Are they trying to use up every second?”

Gabe shook his head.

“Well, the Aliens think a little differently about the standard of the day.”

Latna’s day began with the rising sun in the morning and referred to the rising sun in the next morning.

So the ‘day’ that Saltus had mentioned was until the sun rose the next day.

But the Aliens seemed to be trying to spend the 24 hours at the time they got permission.

Almara grumbled.

“Do we have to take them with us? We can just go on our own.”

Gabe shook his head firmly.

“We can’t let those crazy people go without control.”

* * *

An hour later, the Aliens returned.

“Oh, it was a good day.”

“We killed a lot, didn’t we?”

“Did we kill about 500 people?”

“Not that much, maybe 300?”

They came into the cabin and sat down freely, having a gory conversation.

Pit smiled at Gabe.

“So, where is the incarnation of the Goddess?”

Saltus replied, dumbfounded.

“Are you blind?”

He didn’t understand what nonsense they were talking about when they were sitting in front of her.

Then Pit blinked.

“Yeah, so we have a prisoner. Where’s the Goddess?”

“Wait! What the hell are you talking about?”

Gabe’s face changed dramatically.

“This girl isn’t the incarnation of Goddess?”

“Of course not! When did I say this kid was the incarnation?”

“You confirmed it! You were sure she’s the incarnation!”

“Not her! That black-haired woman!”

“What…”

Gabe’s group looked at each other with blank faces.

They finally realized what they had done wrong.

That was why communication was important.

Since they didn’t even say what they wanted to say to each other due to their extremely bad relationship, they instead said nonsense with their eyes wide open.

“What happened, Almara? Didn’t you say that the silver-haired Magic Swordswoman was the incarnation?”

“Well, that’s…”

Almara stuttered in great agitation.

“That’s exactly what I thought. She had something similar to the ability of an incarnation…”

Because of Effir’s ability, she and Saltus suffered humiliation as soon as they returned to their Dragon form.

“Are you telling me she’s not Kybriel’s ability?”

If she wasn’t the creator of the Dragon race, how could she show such ability?

Akwashi looked at the Effir with a sour look and spoke.

“Isn’t that just because of this necklace?”

[Polymorph Necklace (Unique Item)]

After hearing the explanation, Saltus’s expression became dark.

“The Polymorph Necklace is Alejandro’s unique item. Why does she have this?”

Effir murmured as she looked at them.

“I keep telling you I’m not the incarnation…”

Gabe nervously ripped off her necklace.

“That’s ridiculous! No way!”

Feeling embarrassed, Effir glared at them.

She could become a human due to the power of Polymorph Necklace.

“Well, if you rip it off now…”

Boom!

The cute silver-haired girl disappeared, and a Wyvern, who had a Force-restricting Magic Tool on her front toe like a ring, appeared.

The result was obvious when a 10-meter giant monster appeared in a small cabin in the valley.

Boom!

Gabe, the Dragons, and the Aliens rushed out of the smashed cabin.

“Argh!”

“Oh! What just happened?”

But everyone was high-leveled, so they got out of the cabin safely.

Alice, who landed on the snow, laughed in vain.

“Oh, my God, she wasn’t even human?”

Standing in the blizzard, Gabe looked at the Wyvern in front of him with a bewildered face.

“…”

It had been confirmed.

They got the wrong person.

‘Oh, my God! How could I make such a mistake?!’

He was confused.

‘What do we do now?’

Almara talked to him.

“Anyway, it’s uncomfortable, so we’d better turn her into a human form.”

“…. okay.”

Gabe used Polymorph Necklace with a blank face.

With the light, the Wyvern returned to her human form.

However, she was naked.

“Hey, I’d appreciate it if you could give me some clothes.”

After throwing a cape at her harshly, Gabe agonized.

“Going back to find them… No, but didn’t you say they were already dead?”

Saltus replied unconfidently.

“She’s not an ordinary human being, but an incarnation of darkness, so we can never know. Maybe she’s still alive…”

“Could be!”

Gabe shouted in a hurry.

“Everyone, get ready! We’re going back to the Sacred Peak!”

At that moment, an eerie voice rang out from the other side of the snowstorm.

“You don’t have to.”

Two pairs of eyes glowed beyond the blizzard.

“Because we’re here.”

* * *

A man walked over the snow.

He was a giant warrior covered with copper-color muscles. He held a sword with one hand.

Blazing red flames enveloped his body.

Pssst!

Whenever the fire came into contact with the snow, the snow was pushed out and disappeared into a haze.

Murderous spirit flew through the air.

“It’s him!”

“The Valtara Warrior!”

The Aliens hurriedly pulled out their weapons.

Gabe and the two Dragons stared at each other embarrassingly.

Saltus murmured as if he couldn’t believe it.

“How is he alive?”

However, their embarrassment soon turned into a smile.

It wasn’t a bad situation.

The eyes of the Aliens were glistening with desire.

“Well, if he’s alive…”

“We still have a chance to get our reward!”

“Good for us!”

Gabe was also relieved.

“This is a relief. I can’t believe you’re here on your own.”

Ryu Han-bin smirked.

“You’re making it sound like you’ve won…”

That was understandable.

They had beaten Han-bin once.

“The situation’s a bit different from yesterday.”

A man walked out from behind Han-bin and clicked his tongue.

“I can’t believe it, Gabe. You betrayed the Goddess.”

He was a handsome young man with blond hair.

Gabe frowned.

‘Leon Hart? He’s alive?’

Moreover, unlike yesterday, he was no longer shackled.

It meant that he had completely regained his strength.

“Wait, Lord Leon Hart. Let’s talk for a moment…”

In a panic, Gabe tried to persuade him.

But he couldn’t even say anything.

“Shut your filthy mouth up, heretic!”

Fierce anger came out of his lips.

Almara laughed out loud.

He could tell just by looking at Leon Hart’s eyes.

“Oh, my God, I got caught.”

Gabe’s attitude also changed.

He showed blatant hostility without pretense.

“Where is the incarnation of Darkness, Leon Hart?”

Leon Hart snorted.

“I know you, a bunch of scoundrels, are targetting her, so why would I bring her here?”

That was true.

He knew exactly what the other party wanted. There was no reason for him to help them.

“So it’s just you two?”

“You two are enough for us!”

With a roar, Leon Hart opened his arms from side to side.

“Activate, Uroboros’s snake!”

His main weapon, Uroboros’ coat, was instantly transformed into armor.

They planned to turn Leon Hart into their ally after getting the sacred item in the first place.

Of course, they didn’t throw away his equipment.

He followed that with physical-ability-amplification skills.

-Ectoplasmic body!

Ryu Han-bin also pulled up Aura.

-Aura boost!

-Aura Defender!

There was a formidable momentum around the two men as they prepared for combat.

Gabe internally smiled while he watched.

‘Good for us.’

Listening to them, the incarnation of Goddess seemed to be safe.

‘We’ll handle them first and catch the incarnation!’

Gabe took a step back and shouted.

“Get rid of them!”

* * *

Aura users Pit, Mahathir, and Akwashi took the lead, followed by the Spiritist Jeffrey and the Mage Alice. The Magic Swordswoman Seyen guarded the back row.

It was the battle formation of the Hunters that had been honed for many years.

As he stepped on the snow, Pit shouted.

“Take care of the Spiritist first! I’ll take this Valtara boy on!”

The opponent was a level 112 Spiritist.

Nobody knew what he would do if he were free.

Before that, they had to take him down for sure.

“Taaaaaaaah!”

Pit’s Blade Aura hit Ryu Han-bin on the top of the head.

Han-bin also swung Gigant against him.

The collision between the two Auras caused a strong shockwave.

Boom!

In the meantime, Mahathir and Akwashi passed by Ryu Han-bin and rushed to Leon Hart.

Han-bin didn’t bother to restrain them.

“Oh, my.”

He just smirked.

“It’s not going to work out as you thought.”

With a double ax, a mace, and a shield, the two Alien warriors attacked Leon Hart.

“Don’t try to gain distance!”

“We won’t let you!”

But they were met with a surprise.

The Spiritist, who was supposed to step back, was rushing at them with his fists clenched.

‘Wait, why would he narrow the distance?’

‘Is he crazy?’

Those who had just been freed from Akhtarun had no idea yet.

Leon Hart had the prestige of a fighting Spiritist.

“In the name of Kybriel!”

Leon Hart’s kick hit Akwashi’s shield.

With that single attack, the huge black man was pushed back.

“Argh!”

At the same time, he penetrated through Mahathir’s guard on the left.

Hart cleverly put his arm between the two axes’ radius and delivered a powerful uppercut under his chin!

“May the Goddesses punish you!”

Mahathir’s head was smashed.

Bam!

Blood and brain water scattered through the air and soon slowly dissipated.

The body disappeared, leaving the clothes and two axes on the floor.

“Huh?”

“What, what?”

“Mahathir!”

The other Aliens’ eyes widened at the disturbing scene.

In a single blow, the level 100 Aura user died instantly!
