The interior walls are neatly finished with marble and delicately carved patterns.

Even the mystical decorations and monuments with prayers engraved throughout.

The place where Heinrich walked down the path of light arrived as if a solemn ceremony was taking place.

and in the middle of it.

it was

‘That’s right….’

Contrary to its clean and sophisticated appearance, a long sword that is randomly placed on the dirt floor.

The goal that made him come this far was the ‘Holy Sword’.

Heinrich looked around lightly and looked inside.

As expected, the entire space was surrounded by several layers of divine barriers.

Each of them sealed something inside, and it was the arrangement of the church to prepare for an emergency.

‘It must be because of that.’

Heinrich’s gaze turned to the center again.

To be precise, it was a small darkness the size of a fist gathered on the floor with the holy sword.

At first glance, it looked like the shadow of a sword, wriggling intermittently and showing off its presence.

“Is that the abyss…?”

The previous immortal kings did not simply inflict material and human damage due to war.

While covering the continent with death, they also worked to break down the wall with the abyss, and such an attempt placed a huge burden on the world.

To the extent that the wall between the ground and the abyss was covered with small scratches.

And, the scar that had the greatest impact was that one in front of Heinrich…

It was a hole that the 2nd Immortal King made through his own body.

‘I heard that the other scars healed naturally over time.’

However, perhaps because of the origin of this abyss, no matter how much time passed, it did not decrease further below its current state.

Still, I wish I could pull out the Holy Sword, but for that reason, this place and the Great Hall of Fame exist in the first place.

If it was 300 years ago, an abyss of that size was sufficiently prepared for the Great War.

For the final process, Heinrich took a careful step towards the center where the holy sword was placed.

<Pull out the holy sword and be recognized as the master.>

The final gateway to becoming the master of the holy sword.

Strictly speaking, this was the final ordeal.

‘Those who arrived here before were not recognized in the end.’

Those who overcame the difficult ordeal and reached the Holy Sword eventually fell to their knees at this stage.

‘Shall we go right away?’

Of course, Heinrich didn’t care.

He slowly stretched out his right hand and gripped the handle of the sword that was lodged in the ground.

profit—

He didn’t feel any heat, but his palms began to burn with a bloody sound.

A pungent smell of burning flesh spread all around.

The stimulation was not at the level of simply losing weight.

A little deeper… a tremendous pain as if squeezing the entire nerve and internal organs.

‘It’s hard to pull out because it’s so stiff.’

But Heinrich didn’t change his expression, he just gripped the handle tighter.

Jigsaw—!

He did not let go of the hand holding the sword until the end.

This time, sparks erupted from the holy sword, and enormous energy flowed in.

‘This···.’

The energy that had penetrated into Heinrich’s body roughly as if he was electrocuted went out of control and ran wild, and as a result, his strong body began to slowly collapse from the inside.

The pain multiplied, and the vast divine power he possessed was of no help in this situation.

‘Is this because it’s part of the credentials? . . . I’ll have to hurry up.’

The pain doesn’t matter, but I needed to get the job done as quickly as possible before I was completely exhausted.

“Ugh—!”

A profit—!

He used his left hand to grab the handle with both hands, and squeezing the strength of his body to pull it up.

Snuggle Geek—

The muscles of the whole body swell, and a rubbing noise resounds from the floor.

The moment the sword moved little by little…

An enormous amount of mind-disturbing information from the Holy Sword was slammed directly into my head.

Pausing, he frowned and looked at the information.

‘Is this a battle record?’

From how to wield weapons, how to use energy, and how to deal with unusual monsters.

The experiences of the battles that the previous users had with the Holy Sword were pouring down like a waterfall.

‘…It’s similar to when you absorb the fragments of the Immortal King.’

However, at that time, if negative emotions rebounded and he decided to bite him, the difference would be that he did not intend to attack his mind this time.

Of course, there was also a risk of mental breakdown if you tried to hold on for a long time.

The fact that it was forcibly injected into the brain was the same.

‘Not only information, but also the user’s emotions at the time flowed in… It’s like a mental attack, isn’t it? Maybe the two of you who came here before are all gone.’

If it was a simple pain, he could overcome it with a strong will, but there was a limit to just enduring this mental pollution.

It is a situation that cannot even be overcome with divine power.

Gee geek!

Jigsaw—!

It had nothing to do with Heinrich, though.

A terrible pain continues to pass through my hands.

Unfamiliar knowledge swarms in my head.

Blood oozes from all over the body that has been destroyed by the energy of the holy sword that has been digging into the body.

However, he was able to filter out all excessive stimulation with “Mind Hub,” and he smiled insignificantly.

“Hey, partner. Now, stop being stubborn and come out quietly. I have a lot of work to do.”

The moment he spoke with a smiley voice as he watched the sword slowly rising.

At just the right time, the blade of the holy sword came out of the dark abyss.

Hwa-a-ah-

Is it because it is freedom after three hundred years?

The graceful swordsman shining in silver radiated bright light and boasted its majesty.

At the same time…

《The entity has achieved Enlightenment by fulfilling the condition. The skills “Crusader Combat Skills” and “Comprehensive Weapon Skills” are combined to evolve into the special skill “Loggia Fighting Technique”.

The battle records that had been forcibly injected into his head were combined to form a system.

‘Five? Is this great?’

The technology, taken from the nickname given to the holy sword by the first user, has been handed down to the next generation and developed into a single combat system through modifications and supplements.

Naturally, the masters of the successive holy swords were all geniuses representing the era, so their level was never unusual.

While Heinrich, who drew his holy sword like that, was distracted by it for a moment.

Whoops!

The abyss the size of a fist on the floor shook unexpectedly.

***

A secret place hidden in the wasteland of the southern part of the Aeon Continent.

A ceremony was being held in a gigantic underground stone chamber with a gloomy atmosphere.

Aww—!

The magic circle in the center makes a loud roar and absorbs the surrounding energy.

Blood and corpses, as well as living sacrifices and magical tools of bizarre appearance, crumbled one by one and were sucked into it.

“Kihi… Kukakyakat—! Now, it’s almost over! My long wait is finally—!”

An old man bursting into laughter as he watched the dark wriggling on the floor of the magic circle, and a robe-covered figure looking at him from afar.

At the same time as the ceremony started here, the magic they arranged all over the continent began to be activated all at once.

A huge change was taking place that would change the course of this world.

***

The western part of the Aeon Continent, a mountainous area between the Kingdom of Talia and the Kingdom of Resk.

[What is your name?]

Hans spoke to the man who was lying in front of him in a rare, kind tone.

For some reason, the opponent only dropped more and more.

For Hans, who was trying to be kind to the person he would become a subordinate with in the future, it was just unfair.

“I…I’m Rain and Victor Nolan…. Yes, yes…”

As he gazed intently at him with the “eyes of the abyss,” the poor warlock, who was studying magic alone in a remote mountain valley, forcibly opened his mouth and barely answered.

[Yes, Victor. I am— ‘Hannibal Strauss’. Even if you don’t say much, you will understand the current situation well, right?]

“···Yes, yes···. of course. If you spare my life, I will do as you command.”

Warlock Victor bowed his head with a dying face.

It was as if he had suddenly robbed him of his life by a terrifying being in front of him.

The coercive force of the “eye of the abyss” that binds the existence of a lower level demon.

Of course, the effect was not absolute for a human with an established self, not a monster that moved instinctively.

‘In that case, the subordination using Heinz II’s 「Pure Blood」 is the most certain.’

However, even if the imperfect restraint was cast by the caster of the Immortal King, the coercive force due to the difference could not be ignored.

And once the leash is tied like that, you can’t run away anymore.

No matter where you are on the continent, you will be immediately revisited by the Immortal King Hans.

[It’s good to understand quickly. After all, it looks quite useful…, huh?]

Hans paused for a moment as he continued to speak as he looked around the warlock’s secret laboratory.

Just now, I felt something very foreign energy.

“···········?”

Victor’s anxiety, who was lying on his face in the sudden silence, grew stronger, but he had already been pushed beyond Hans’ priorities.

[···what? This.]

Hans looked quietly to one side.

A sizable sacrificial ceremony was held at some distance.

‘Are you going to have an open sacrifice ceremony like this? What fearless bastards… Shall we check it out?’

There was something more worrisome than the current recruiting activity.

He told Warlock Victor to pack up and prepare to move, and then immediately moved to the location where the abnormality was detected.

‘Is this the western end of the Resk Kingdom? ···indeed.’

The place where Hans, who was engulfed in darkness, appeared again in an instant, was in the sky above a fairly large town.

A small town for its size.

As if it had already been fully dedicated to a certain sacrifice ritual, there was almost no life force inside.

Luckily, only the sounds of those who came out of the village belatedly making a fuss resounded hollowly.

‘···What kind of thinking did this happen, let’s hear directly from the parties.’

Hans went straight up into the sky.

The robe flapped in the gust of wind, and his eyes were dyed in darkness again.

To the “eyes of the abyss” that looked down upon the earth like that…

‘found.’

A suspicious group was detected leaving the village of Burinake.

And in the next instant, darkness rose around them as they ran away without looking back, covering all sides in an instant.

[Stop.]

“Hey…!”

“What… what….”

Hans, who spread fear around him just by appearing, looked at them, who had hardened.

The black magicians in the middle and the black magic that you can feel in their bodies.

There was no excuse.

[This body wants to ask you something. I wish I could give you some time.]

Of course, they had no veto.

After that, the conversation that continued in the barrier where no one could enter and exit proceeded quite peacefully.

It was only because Hans stroked the heads of those who were still standing once.

‘They really knew nothing.’

Even when I forcibly opened my mouth through 「Eyes of the Abyss」 for the first time, I couldn’t get a satisfactory answer, so I couldn’t get any meaningful results even though I forcibly searched my head.

The warlock stuck between them was just a young chick following the master’s will, and the rest were only the extremities that moved according to the orders of their superiors.

‘I just turned on the switch in a situation where everything was already ready. After work, he ran away before his tail was trampled and caught me.’

The fact that this type of activation was possible meant that a considerable number of powers had been preparing for it for a long time.

Fortunately, after digging through their heads, we were able to find out who the beast was doing.

‘The oath of reversal… is it them again? It seems to have been quiet for a while.’

Well, if it was at the level of the guys they had been through before, it was quite possible.

I don’t know why it suddenly did this.

You should find out from now on.

‘There are still traces of it. Where did all this life force go?’

Hans flew through the sky following the flow.

And at that destination, I was able to discover something familiar and unfamiliar.

‘Is that the scar of the abyss?’

He was just checking the abyss through Heinrich, who had just entered the ordeal of the Holy Sword.

Of course, unlike the abyss in the Great Temple of Pikaol, the scars in front of Hans’ eyes now were only traces of being healed.

If you don’t pay attention to it, you can’t see it well, and there’s no problem in itself, so I haven’t been paying attention until now…

The flow of life force that started from the village was definitely heading here.

‘Once, let’s check.’

Hans immediately mobilized all his powers to thoroughly analyze the traces left and traced back the flow.

So let’s get him going.

Thanks to skills such as 「Eye of the Abyss」, 「Evil Wisdom」, 「Forbidden Knowledge」 and the knowledge of the Immortal King, a conclusion was quickly drawn.

He turned his head south.

There was the starting point and the center of the ceremony held here.

‘There are not one or two places where sacrifices have been made. It happened at the same time in several places. Besides, this is only a part of the ritual, and what they want in the end is…’

That moment.

Hans’s sensitive senses are extremely active.

An enormous flow of energy from the south was detected.

[…the abyss has been opened.]

It was a huge variable that could affect the entire continent.
