The Sub-Protagonist Is Retiring

250 – 240.The Demonic Sword of the Beginning-5

After the fight with Pingchang, who had been mutating by foreign media.

She almost returned empty-handed as she missed her by a single difference, but there was an object she found with her Prach’s keen eye.

A broken pocket watch.

Because it was sealed with some kind of power, it couldn’t be unlocked until Prach became the original demonic sword.

“Come to think of it, I forgot that a watch like this existed.”

“At the time I acquired it, I couldn’t unseal it because of lack of magic power.”

“Then it started moving again, so the seal was broken, right?”

“No, the seal has not been released yet. It must have started working for other reasons.”

Prach gently took out the pocket watch that was in my hand.

I felt sympathy for her as she stroked the outside of the pocket watch as if it were friendly.

As if a huge story is hidden inside a pocket watch.

“There was someone in the past who had the same soul as me?”

“Yes. I remember that I matched perfectly with you now.”

“Could you have seen your soul before I asked you about your past memories?”

“This is the ability of the sword that stabbed you in the stomach. It can sever the connection between soul and body. Until now, it has taken over the human body that has become an empty shell by removing the soul.”

“I was stabbed by that sword, but I managed to be fine.”

“The link between the body and soul of the contractor must have been so strong that it could not be easily broken. Anyway, that’s not the point.”

Prach pointed her finger at me.

“Why was there anyone in the distant past with a soul like yours? It’s important to figure that out.”

“Isn’t it like reincarnation or something like that?”

“We know that the soul of the dead goes to hell and suffers forever, or ascends to rest, or is reconstructed and reborn as a new life, depending on the sins committed. Even if it is a reincarnation, it cannot be perfectly identical to your soul.”

“This is profound.”

“The only way to make the soul stay in this world is to become an undead, but isn’t your heart beating normally?”

“Of course not. I have never experienced death before.”

“That’s why I don’t even know why.”

“What if I went to the past?”

“I can’t say there is no possibility, but I remember that he looked completely different from the contractor.”

Prach twisted his lips in disapproval.

I couldn’t understand how the person she had seen in her past was showing her serious side so far.

As for her, I didn’t know what Prach had seen of her, so the situation she was talking about didn’t really come to my mind.

Is it such a problem that there is a man with the same soul as me in the past, not the present?

I just scratched my head with a puzzled expression.

“I don’t think we can come up with an answer if we think about a difficult problem we can’t understand. So let’s think about this later slowly.”

“I know if you want to.”

“Rather than that, you said that the seal on that pocket watch hasn’t been undone yet, right? If I open the seal, I wonder if I can find out something?”

“Ummm…. No, I think it would be better to leave this seal unopened for now. As the contractor said, there are other things we need to pay attention to right now.”

Frach returned the pocket watch she was holding to me.

The second hand of the pocket watch, which was hovering around with subtle demonic energy, was moving little by little.

I suddenly wondered about the secret hidden inside the watch, but Prach is right.

The reason for completing the original magic sword was to press Ignit rather than a pocket watch.

It is not too late to find out the secret of the clock after the subjugation of the red lizard.

“Yes.”

The topic of overheating the head is over.

I put the watch back in my pocket with the determination not to think about it anymore.

Then he looked at Prach from the front again.

“Is there anything else you want to say?”

“Well, the exterior hasn’t changed much except that it’s gotten a little bigger.”

“Wouldn’t it be difficult to accept this body if it were to undergo cataclysmic changes? So I touched only the parts you like.”

“So the area you touched is the chest?”

“I knew where your gaze was headed when you fought the demonic sword of absorption.”

“We have to focus on the fight. You shouldn’t mind my gaze.”

“It’s because your gaze was hot. And I won’t say that being faithful to your desires is bad, but be considerate of yourself when others are fighting.”

I tried to point out my mistake, but I ended up hearing a bitter voice.

However, it was all right, so I had no choice but to keep my mouth shut.

Watches the enemy’s chest while allies are fighting. It’s cheap even if you get scolded.

“Okay, I’ll take care of myself.”

“Don’t be self-important, if you’re going to see it, look at this body! Then it will work.”

Prach proudly stretches his shoulders and shows off his chest.

I thought that even though he had become a demonic sword in the beginning, his desire to compete in the wrong part was still the same.

I chuckled and cautiously threw out the question I had originally intended to ask.

“By the way, you know, aside from the appearance, haven’t there been any major changes?”

“That can’t be! Can’t you see this much stronger body in your eyes!”

“Even though it has become stronger, you should have used it since you were finished.”

“Huh… ! It’s very tricky.”

Prach returned to his sword form again and lay down in front of me.

It must mean to deal with yourself freely.

However, in many ways it was an awkward situation to use her in her yard that did not finish her agreement on her renewal.

As Solis approached me, who was in trouble, Prach jumped up.

[Why are you taking a break? Experience the superior performance of this body!]

“But you haven’t renewed your contract yet, have you?”

[Are you hesitant to use this body for just that?]

“It’s just that, how do you know when you’re going to do it again?”

“Yes, a reasonable and reasonable idea… ….”

[Geug! I get it! Would that be enough?]

Blood began to ooze from the surface of Prach.

Through her blood magic, she created thin parchment with her blood and wrote her writings in black energy on it.

The contents of the contract were simple and clear.

Even if I die of natural causes at the end of my lifespan, Prach will be subordinated to me for the rest of my life.

It was stated that offensive acts such as defying or hurting were not allowed, and that in the case of unilateral contract termination, only I could do so.

Also, there was a ridiculous clause saying that if I wanted anything from Frach, I had to do whatever it was, and if I didn’t obey my orders, I would surrender myself to Solis.

“Can you afford it?”

“Of course!”

The contents of the contract in which Prach has no choice but to lose money unconditionally.

Even though I thought this was not the case, she confidently pushed ahead.

It was felt that Frach was seriously sharpening her sword.

Even so, it was a contract that had just ended, so the moment I reached out to revise some of the contents.

The bloody contract was concluded as I agreed and accepted it as a hindrance.

[Okay! With this, now your sword is only this body!]

Prach, who was on her ground, spun around her in mid-air and wrapped around her hand.

At the same time, a vast amount of her demonic energy flowed from her, and her strength began to spurt all over her body.

I used to mix Prach’s magic and my sword skill, but now the amount of magic was overwhelmingly high.

Eyebrows were raised at the performance of infinitely squeezing out mana, like a dragon heart that generates infinite mana.

It was clearly showing what a true demonic sword was.

[It’s still too early to be surprised! This body’s ability is not all.]

The rune, one of Prach’s identities, emits a colorful light.

Then, in an instant, the world in which she was holding her completely changed.

All corpses within 10KM of me came into view.

Even the bodies buried deep in the ground.

What was surprising was that I felt like I could handle all corpses with my limbs, regardless of depth.

Remembering that I was able to revive only the corpses I could see with necromancer, I could tell that they had evolved to ridiculous performance now.

“It turned.”

[Whooping! It’s still too early to be surprised.]

Prach has been directly conveying it in my head while drawing images that he can realize.

Blood magic that creates a sea of blood in the surrounding area with a single drop of blood.

A cloning ability that multiplies to over tens of thousands and covers the heavens and earth with demonic swords.

The ability to cut off the soul and make it disappear in a non-death world.

Chunbyeon manga’s polymorph ability that can change into any shape, not limited to swords.

And even the ability to absorb the opponent’s ability, vitality, magical power, and so on.

If there is a comprehensive gift set of dreams, wouldn’t it be this one?

To the extent that it made me think that way, all of them had only the strongest abilities.

“…… hahahaha.”

[It seems that you are so surprised by the excellence of this body that you can’t even say the right words!]

“There is that, but there is something I don’t exactly understand, so I laughed out loud.”

[You don’t understand, is there any part of the image that this body showed you that you think will not come true?]

“No, I’m not questioning you, I’m questioning the qualities of the first demon king.”

The first demon king who was subjugated by a hero while possessing such a demonic sword was dumbfounded.

A performance that can overthrow the Holden Kingdom even if it is given to a passing kid.

If the demon king used it, it was at a level where he could challenge even a god, not a hero.

What on earth is the demon king who made such a rare masterpiece but was defeated in vain?

If I could go back to the real past, I wanted to go and ask him right away.

[The first demon king had a prudent personality, so he was afraid to use this body, and I think it was also because this body at the time presented ridiculous contract conditions.]

“Then I understand a little, but on the other hand, I wonder if it was okay to sign a contract with me. Wouldn’t there be swordsmen around the world who could offer their liver or gallbladder to sign a contract with you?”

[It’s a rumor. No swordsman in the world would have been able to replace you.]

“Why? There might be a swordsman out there who has better swordsmanship than me, like Rin.”

[Do you think that there will be other people who will drive you into a trance while pointing the holy sword at the demonic sword and subdue it?]

“Aha!”

I was the only one.
