The Sub-Protagonist Is Retiring

246 – 236.The Magic Sword of the Beginning-1

Based on the Druid’s information, we went south and wandered around the nearby beaches.

As it was swept away by the sea, it may seem difficult to pinpoint the location, but we had the ability to sense Prach.

[The energy is getting closer. If you go a little further, you will see it.]

“Because you feel the magic sword’s energy nearby? Even if the demonic sword tempts you, don’t fall for it, and be careful not to touch it.”

“Okay.”

“If it’s dangerous, I’ll stay behind!”

René and Lin quickly acclimatized to the point where they didn’t need to pay extra attention anymore.

It seemed that he understood my concern for the two of them and responded immediately to ease their worries.

For me, I was very grateful.

Lin and Renee are talented people who don’t have to be fooled wherever they go.

Worrying about them was, in a way, an act of undermining their self-esteem.

My heart was moved to see him accepting it without saying anything bitter about it, even if he heard that he was just a fool.

‘Even thinking about it, I think I saved the country in my previous life. Otherwise, how could I have formed a relationship with women who could understand my feelings so well?’

[You are saying something strange. If you are in love, isn’t it natural to be considerate of each other?]

‘You’re right, but there are more cases than I thought.’

I realized one thing while listening to the love stories of college classmates at a drinking party.

Love is a battle of emotions.

A woman who does not take things for granted lightly, a woman who only considers her own position without regard for others’ circumstances, a woman who is at a loss and leaves all choices and responsibilities to a man, and so on.

There are many women with troublesome personalities in the world.

Of course, just because he is a male motive who complains doesn’t necessarily mean he’s not at fault.

I couldn’t understand why they continued their relationship while wearing off each other’s feelings like that.

‘Now I know why we don’t give up on our relationship even if we fight.’

The joy of being connected with the person you love was thrilling beyond words.

I wondered if I couldn’t give up because I couldn’t forget the thrill.

‘In that sense, I’m a blessed guy who has never had a fight with Rin and Renee until now!’

[I see. Then, Contractor, how about fighting this body with the theme of why this body is being neglected these days?]

‘Sorry, I’ll decline.’

Her whole body gave chills as she felt the chill in Prach’s voice.

It was true that Frach had been treated badly lately, so even though her mouth was torn, she had nothing to say.

So she ended up with a quick apology.

[Contractor, the demonic sword is over there.]

“Uh… ? Village?”

I thought the demonic sword was lying on the sandy beach.

However, in the direction Prach pointed, there was a small village formed near the pier.

‘Did someone pick it up already?’

[Probably so.]

“Damn, things got tricky.”

When an ordinary human holds a demonic sword, they are captured by the demonic sword’s personality.

If you didn’t have strong mental power, you would fall into the host of the demonic sword at once.

Even Bern, who had extraordinary mental power, suffered endlessly due to the selection of the demonic sword during the work.

From noble mtl dot com

There was a time when I experienced all sorts of injustice just because I had a magic sword, and there was a time when the magic sword was on the verge of erosion.

Bern is at the same level, but what about ordinary people with weak mentality?

There was a possibility that he became a host within less than an hour from the moment he grabbed the sword.

“Sir, there is a faint smell of blood in that village.”

“Has it already been eroded…? . Let’s hurry!”

The behavior of a human whose mind has been controlled by a demonic sword is divided into two main categories.

Hana is seized by the urge to destroy and tries to destroy everything in front of her.

When it is conscious, it will only break things, but if it is completely eroded, it will cut at random.

The other one shows symptoms of constant thirst, but the problem is that this thirst phenomenon can only be solved by human blood, not water.

No matter how much water I drink, the burning pain in my throat does not go away.

Thirst slowly gnaws at his mind, leading to self-injury, and then he naturally learns the taste of blood.

I just drank a little bit of blood, but as my thirst disappears, I get an indescribable pleasure..

However, the symptoms of relief are temporary, and the thirst that is stronger than before occurs and drives you crazy again.

“In that way, the demonic sword turns the host into a murderer.”

[The bloody demonic sword we absorbed earlier was such a category of demonic sword.]

“…… Then, is the teacher alright?”

“Suddenly?”

“Well, Bern-nim is also using a demonic sword, right?”

“I am fine. My demonic sword is special in many ways.”

[You are threatening to destroy this body right in the face, but how dare you do that…….]

Prach let out a disgusted voice.

Since an unequal treaty was concluded through threats, this kind of reaction was inevitable.

At this point, I was a little sorry.

But at that time, the precedents that Bern had suffered from the demonic sword came to mind and came out forcefully.

Because there was no law saying it wouldn’t happen to me.

“Anyway, I don’t have any problems no matter how many times I use the magic sword, so you don’t have to worry about me.”

“Okay.”

“Still, if something happens due to the demonic sword, please tell us anytime!”

“Yes.”

To express my gratitude for your concern, I lightly stroked Rene’s head and turned his head again.

Those who have been eroded by the demonic sword have priority over me.

“Looking at the buildings nearby, I don’t think the urge to destroy them.”

“You must be thirsty for blood for a while.”

“Maybe. Let’s go to a place where the smell of blood is thick.”

The first sight that greeted us upon entering the village was the streets stained with blood.

Blood was splattered all over the street, and I couldn’t see a single place where there were no dead bodies.

I realized that the blood festival was in progress when I saw that the blood hadn’t hardened.

“The inside of the village is wider than it looks, so let’s find them scattered. If you find a demonic sword, send me a signal.”

“Okay.”

“Okay!”

René is on the left, Lin is on the right, and I split in the front.

After being separated from the two of them, I called Chaos and Lili, who were waiting in the shadows.

“Chaos watches over Rin, and Lily watches over Rene. Do you know what to do if you think the two of you are in danger?”

“Wow!”

“Yes, I will follow your orders.”

“Please.”

Chaos and Lili returned to the shadows again, gesturing to leave it to themselves.

They will stand by in the shadows of Rin and Renee, respectively, and will protect them when needed.

It’s unlikely that Rin and Rene will end up in danger, but now they don’t know what the magic sword’s abilities are.

It was necessary to prepare for an emergency.

[Will it be okay without your escort?]

“No need. You are there.”

[Dear Contractor… !]

“There is also Solis.”

[Trust me…. If it’s dangerous, I’ll protect you….]

[Tsk!]

As soon as I mentioned Solis, I could feel Prach pouting.

I did a bad thing that broke other people’s emotions, but when I see Prach’s reaction, the corner of my mouth keeps going up and I want to keep teasing him.

I’m sure I’ll hear the bitter words, but I’ll put it off until later and focus on the smell of blood with my nose twitching.

“Here… !”

Is it because of the bloody sword?

Being more sensitive to blood than before, I was able to pinpoint the location of the magic sword at once.

I spurred on the door and went inside at the strong smell of blood that I felt at the clothing store.

“Keep it off… !”

“Huh… ! Hee hee hee!!”

A bloodstained woman was holding her master’s collar with one hand and aiming at her demonic sword.

With the slightest movement of her arm, the sharp blade will slash her master’s throat, causing her to bleed.

Before I could even do that, I ran quickly and slashed the demonic sword that was in the woman’s grip.

“Huh?”

“Didn’t your mother teach you not to pick up things you don’t know?”

Whilirik-!

The demonic sword spun in the air and passed behind us.

A host without a demon sword is nothing more than a seedless chaff.

If you quickly subdue it and hold it until the bloodthirst disappears, the situation will calm down.

“Hee hee hee!”

“What is it? What makes you laugh so badly?”

[Contractor!!]

The woman who let go of her demonic sword suddenly pointed her back with her finger.

At the same time, Prach’s urgent cry was heard.

Is there a huge monster behind it?

The moment I turned my head and looked back.

“Uh… ?”

A demonic sword flew from behind and pierced my abdomen.

Blood gushed out of my mouth as it flowed backwards down my throat.

“Khehehe! Hee hee!”

[Be alert!]

“… ….”

A woman pressing her forehead and starting to laugh at me, and Prach worrying about me all the time.

I wanted to say something, but the blood that kept flowing from her mouth kept me from saying anything.

I had no choice but to spit out a handful of blood and quench my thirst.

“Prach… ….”

[Contractor! Are you okay? I will stop the bleeding, so hurry up and draw your sword!]

“It’s okay, even if you don’t.”

[What the hell are you talking about! If you stay there, you will die!]

“You won’t die from an injury like this. Although it hurts so damn much.”

[Then you have to pull out the sword and heal the wounds quickly… !]

“There are things I need to do before that.”

I walked confidently toward the woman who was laughing.

She was still smiling, but she gradually erased her smile as she saw me approaching casually.

“Shall we have a warm hug?”

“Hee hee… ?”

It was only then that the woman realized what I was about to do and started to walk backwards.

But I quickly grabbed her arm and gave her a tear-dropping smile.

“Where are you going in such a hurry? You stabbed people even if you didn’t have your will, right? So, why not give a reconciliation hug?”

“Kkeuh… !”

The woman began to resist fiercely.

Otherwise, I yanked the woman’s arm toward me.

Even though he was made stronger by the magic sword, he was absurdly weak compared to me.

Holding her woman by the waist, I put my mouth to her ear and whispered softly.

“Wait. Do you still have my holy sword? I’ll show you my strongest dual wielder style using a magic sword and a holy sword… !”

“Hey!!”

Just before unzipping her pants to showcase the dual sword, the woman let out a scream and lost her mind.

And not long after, the demonic sword that had pierced my body slid out and fell to the floor.

As the host fell, the sword’s will to fight must have automatically disappeared.

“Ah, sorry.”

[…] … For the first time, I felt ashamed that the contractor was my contractor.]
