< Chapter 77 - Fairy Sword #2 >
&
Although it is often lumped together and expressed as ‘a thousand years ago’, the fall of the Iron Kingdom founded by the ancient dwarves and the Magellan Kingdom founded by the high elves did not occur at the same time.
Since the Iron Kingdom was originally a union of seven city-states, not all of the seven city-states were destroyed by the overlords of Hell, and Magellan, as the most powerful nation on the continent at the time, had the power to ignore even the remaining forces.
‘Anyway.’
The ancient dwarves and high elves suffered fatal blows in their fight against the overlords of Hell, but they were truly destroyed – that is, they naturally declined and disappeared – several hundred years after the overlords were defeated.
‘Of course, history exists even during those hundreds of years.’
The Fairy Sword Velencia was the elven swordsman representing the era after the end of the fight against the overlords.
As the successor to the High Elf royal line that began in the Magic Kingdom of Magellan, she actively traveled the world and saved those in trouble. As it was a time when the scars left on the earth by the overlords were still fresh, many people of various races such as humans, elves, dwarves, and gnomes received help from her.
‘A strong, kind, and beautiful greatsword.’
An idol from an era where you can say anything nice about them.
It was only natural that the Sword Seeker’s craftsmen sought her out to create the ultimate sword.
If it was the Fairy Sword Velencia, even if it was an orc craftsman rather than a dwarf craftsman, they would have sat down face to face and thought things through together.
‘It’s a natural flow.’
The dwarves who created the Ultimate One with the help of Velencia offered the ultimate sword they could not use to her, the greatest swordsman of the time.
And that was the moment.
A scene from history vividly appeared in Uder’s mind.
“We present to you the ultimate sword we have created.”
“Can I really accept this?”
At the suggestion of Black Horn’s Guild Master, Eitri, Velencia asked hesitantly, and Eitri, a typical dwarf craftsman, answered cheerfully, stroking his white beard with his rough but delicate fingers.
“It’s something we can’t use anyway.”
Because dwarves have short arms and legs.
However, Velencia, who did not know the truth about the Ultimate One – Sword Origin, took those words differently.
“I know very well that dwarves prefer axes over swords······.”
“Hahaha, that’s not what I meant. And you are the strongest swordsman of our time. Since you created the ultimate sword, wouldn’t it be natural to give it to the strongest swordsman?”
“The strongest of the time… I’m embarrassed.”
When Velencia blushed in embarrassment, Eitri, whose beauty transcended races, also blushed.
“Oh, by the way! Please accept it! Our masterpiece created with your advice!”
As Eitri urged again, Velencia pursed her pink lips and carefully caressed the sheath of the Sword Origin.
After all, she was also a prosecutor.
It’s not that I wasn’t tempted by the words “the ultimate sword.”
“Then shamelessly······.”
“Hahaha, please accept it with peace of mind. It’s late to say this now, but this item was made with the premise that everyone in the Black Horn Guild, including me, would offer it to you. You could even call it your personal sword.”
“Oh my······.”
Belencia’s face turned even redder.
But a smile appeared on his face that he couldn’t hide.
How could a swordsman not be happy to have a sword made just for him by the best craftsmen of his time?
“Then··· I will gratefully accept it.”
“Go ahead. Hehe.”
The moment Aitri let out a slightly perverted laugh while receiving the sword and looking at his favorite Velesia, the images unfolding in his head ended.
Uder looked back at reality and smiled bitterly without realizing it.
“You received it.”
It was a harsh remark, but it got through to Belencia.
Because the corner of her eyes, which had been smiling brightly, twitched slightly.
“Yeah, I have to take it.”
It’s the ultimate sword.
It is said that this sword was made with Velencia herself in mind.
How can you beat that so brutally?
And at that moment, a new image appeared in Yuder’s head again.
It was the sight of a young girl swinging a sword with a big smile on her face, even though sweat was pouring down her body.
“I like swords.”
i love it.
The sword is the best.
As expected from a young girl, her emotions were very vivid and intense.
And Uder could immediately tell that the young girl in front of him was Velencia’s childhood.
A girl who likes swords.
A woman who loves swordsmanship.
And the image in my head changed.
Ultimate One – Velencia, who was equipping the Sword Origin for the first time, was blinking with a blank expression.
“Poetry, the union of the two swords?”
The sword will soon become mine.
That was right.
In a sense, it could be said that her dream had come true.
But Uder could soon sense her despair.
She was a swordsman, a woman who loved swordsmanship.
“Either! What the hell is going on?!”
“Hehehe, didn’t it turn out just as you said? The union of the divine sword! The sword and the body become one, making the user a sword!”
“yes?!”
No, why is the union of the two swords interpreted that way?
But it had already happened.
Moreover, Velencia, who was kind and gentle, and had a personality that could be said to be good, could not bring herself to question Eitri any further.
“Hey, do you not like it…?”
“Huh? Uh… Uh… Oh, no. It’s really good. K, it’s like a dream come true.”
She swallows her tears with a forced smile, and Eitri breathes a sigh of relief.
The video ended again, and Uder was able to face Belesia, who had a sad face like the one in the video.
“Wait a minute. So you didn’t pick up the sword after that?”
Sword Origin was clearly a sword that made the user into a sword-like being, but it did not make the user’s appearance itself into a sword.
Since the hand and fingers were still attached, it would have been fine to just pick up another sword in that state.
‘Actually, I’m thinking of doing that too.’
Ultimate Three – I was planning on finding the Dragonslayer Ascalon to use in the fight against Malekith.
But Belencia seemed to have different thoughts from Yuder.
When Yuder asked if she had any other swords, she answered with a puzzled look.
“Huh? Another sword?”
“Yes, another sword.”
“Oh, how is that!”
“yes?”
“That, that’s right! If you already have a sword and you pick up another sword… B, it’s no different from cheating! A, a, an affair! It’s disrespectful to the sword!”
What does this mean?
Uther thought for a moment and then looked at Velencia again.
I’m talking about her, with her face red and her face looking tearful.
‘I’m serious.’
That’s real.
I’m really starting to think that carrying two swords is cheating.
‘A woman who loves swords and swordsmanship.’
Uder tried to understand her at first.
And after giving her a little time to calm down, he slowly opened his mouth and said.
“But… there’s also the dual sword technique… right?”
There is also a swordsmanship technique that uses two swords at the same time.
But Belencia remained steadfast.
“Can a person love two people at the same time? Dual swordsmanship is a trick. It’s called two-timing!”
“Uh… yes.”
If that’s the case, then so be it.
And then the mental images started again.
It was a beautiful sight of bare-handed Belencia dancing.
Indeed, Belencia.
Uther found himself drawn into the dance of a woman as beautiful as Cordelia, and soon realized.
Belencia wasn’t really dancing right now.
Her movements were based on nothing.
“So I started practicing new swordsmanship.”
The images in my head disappeared and the real Velencia appeared.
She continued to speak with a very serious face.
“My own swordsmanship using Sword Origin.”
The image played out again in Uder’s head.
Belencia’s graceful yet passionate movements were truly beautiful and powerful.
“Sword Origin and I are already one. That is why I can unfold the sword technique of divine sword union.”
It seemed like Yuder knew something too.
Because Sword Origin wasn’t just a sword that made your limbs stronger.
In reality, wasn’t the roundhouse kick he delivered to Gamor Khan closer to a slash than a striking attack?
‘but······.’
But isn’t this just martial arts?
In what swordsmanship in the world is there something like stabbing the regime?
And that was the moment.
Suddenly, Belencia in front of me puffed out her cheeks and shouted in excitement.
“It’s swordsmanship! It’s swordsmanship! Anyway, it’s swordsmanship! Whoa!”
It was Belencia who burst into tears beyond just crying.
It seemed like he had heard things like, ‘But isn’t it just martial arts after all?’ a lot during his lifetime.
“That’s swordsmanship! It’s swordsmanship. It is swordsmanship. It’s swordsmanship because it’s used with a sword.”
“Right? It’s swordsmanship, right? It’s swordsmanship, right?”
“Of course. You are not wrong.”
“Sob sob.”
Velencia wiped away her tears of joy, and Uder thought to himself.
‘It’s gone bad······.’
She’s so pretty and kind, but it’s also a shame.
But anyway, her unique body technique – no, her unique sword technique – seemed very useful.
‘Taking advantage of Sword Origin’s strengths.’
In retrospect, the fight with Gamor Khan felt overly ignorant.
If you can fight like Velencia, it would be possible to maximize the power of Sword Origin.
“That’s why I showed up.”
“Hey, use this.”
“Yes? Oh, thank you. That’s very kind of you.”
Belencia smiled faintly as she accepted the handkerchief that Yuder offered, and Yuder thought.
‘What a waste.’
Even though she’s so pretty, she’ll only be second in command because of Cordelia.
If Scarlett had heard, she would have told him to keep quiet – no, Uther, who thought she might be curious about how Cordelia had brainwashed Uther, quickly turned his attention back to Velencia.
“Anyway, let’s continue.”
“Yes, black. Can I… blow your nose?”
“Uh… yes. Just take it.”
After all, it was something that happened in imagination and not in reality.
“Hmph! Thank you.”
“No problem.”
“Ahem, anyway, let’s continue.”
Although it felt a bit late, Velencia straightened her face and looked at Yuder again as she continued speaking.
“I saw you fight. And I thought, you need a map.”
“Are you going to teach me the art of fluidity… no, the art of swordsmanship?”
“Yes, but I have no intention of teaching pure swordsmanship. The next generation already has powerful martial arts.”
The Ultimate Sun Divine Art combined with the Nine Heavenly Gates.
“So I’m going to combine your martial arts and my swordsmanship to create a new swordsmanship.”
“Is that possible?”
“Yes, it is possible.”
Indeed, the great swordsman.
Uder clapped his hands in admiration without realizing it, and Velencia blushed in embarrassment and said.
“Anyway, I’m going to start my research from today. So please teach me about your martial arts for a while.”
“Do we meet like this every day?”
“Every day might be hard, but often?”
It was just then.
Yuder suddenly raised his hand and asked in a question.
“Excuse me, Lady Belencia.”
“Yes, posterity.”
“You can call me Yuder.”
“I’ll call you Hudai. I like that.”
“Okay… I understand.”
She was stubborn in strange places, but that wasn’t what was important right now.
“What happened?”
“What is it?”
“No, I was wondering why you were in front of me like this….”
“That’s because I am the sword spirit of Sword Origin.”
“Sword Spirit? Sword Spirit?”
“Yes, everyone in the Ultimate Series has a swordsman.”
Uder frowned at Belencia’s calm explanation.
“Wait a minute, does that mean all users become swordsmen?”
“No, that’s not it. I became a sword spirit because I wanted to. Most other series already had a sword spirit when they were created. Eitri said that Sword Origin was a sword that was created with the goal of becoming a divine sword, so they didn’t include a sword spirit on purpose.”
“Hmm… I see.”
I could roughly guess why Belencia became a swordsman.
She was a woman who loved swords so much that she probably wanted to become the sword itself.
Anyway, that wasn’t what was important now.
“Excuse me, Lady Valencia.”
“Yes, the next generation. Should I call them the second generation?”
“Call me whatever you want. Anyway, more than that… I guess the Grand Order also has a swordsman?”
“Yes, I have.”
“Are you a man?”
“No, she’s a cute girl.”
“That’s fortunate.”
“yes?”
Although Belencia tilted her head as if she didn’t understand English, Yuder, who was satisfied with himself, just smiled happily.
“Then Cordelia is also meeting her swordsman now?”
“Probably not. Usually, the swordsmen are asleep unless absolutely necessary.”
“Is Lady Velencia an exception?”
“Um… maybe? And now is the moment when it’s absolutely necessary.”
Because I have to teach Yuder martial arts – no, swordsmanship.
“I understand. I will follow Lady Valencia’s teachings.”
“That’s a good attitude. Then first, teach me the martial arts of the next generation.”
“Yes, let’s start with the basics.”
Yuder, who had taken a stance, slowly began to demonstrate the techniques of the Ultimate Sun God and the Nine Heavens and Nine Gates.
&
The morning dawned.
Although Yuder usually slept for at most three hours, thanks to his training with Belencia, his sleeping hours had been extended, and he ended up waking up later than Cordelia.
“Are you a sleepyhead now?”
“Excuse me, this is almost the first time I’ve woken up later than you?”
“No, but even after the battle of the king was over, I woke up first.”
“I lost.”
“Hehehe, I won.”
Cordelia, who had been smiling brightly as if she was happy about something, suddenly pursed her lips and asked while looking at Yuder.
“Were you dreaming?”
“Huh? Huh.”
Meeting Belencia could be said to be a dream, if only it were a dream.
But it was at that very moment.
“Well then. Did you have a dream about me?”
Cordelia turned her head slightly and asked with blushing cheeks.
It was such an adorable sight that he wanted to bite it, but Yuder couldn’t help but flinch.
“Huh? Uh-huh. Yeah.”
Perhaps because he was flustered, Uther answered without realizing it, and Cordelia wiggled her fingers in delight.
“I had a dream too.”
Cordelia, who spoke softly, soon pursed her lips as if embarrassed, and Uther clutched his chest with an inexplicable sense of guilt and Cordelia’s loveliness.
And then it was that moment again.
“But Yuder.”
“Oh, Cordelia.”
“Don’t you think you’ve forgotten something?”
Cordelia asked with a new sense of discomfort, and Uther tilted his head.
“Did you forget something?”
“Oh, I forgot something. I feel like I forgot something important and yet trivial······ Ah!”
That was it. Cordelia jumped up from her seat, stamped her feet, and, not knowing what to do, soon began to run like a madman.
East of Black Town.
It was in the direction of the aggro generating device.
&
[It’s okay. After all, I was born to be forgotten.]
“No, that’s not it!”
