A Transmigrator’s Privilege-Chapter 251
Reed took Livlili out of the display case and handed it to me.
Reed, ⊛ Nоvеlιght ⊛ (Read the full story) who already had one magic sword, was not judged as the ‘first contact’ even if he touched it.
Naturally, I hesitated.
‘The Holy Sword was synthesized.’
A weapon that functions as a holy sword when held by someone suitable to be its owner, but becomes a magic sword when held by someone who lacks the qualifications and beliefs.
In the latter case, the magic sword uses the first contact as its host and carries out a slaughter of ignorance.
It is said that this weapon inherited that characteristic. If I hold it wrong, I might end up like Illeon Odreck.
“It has such a cumbersome function.”
“Well. I tried it myself and found it to be a good function, so I added it.”
I also understand why the Lily Cross Sword in front of me is not a soft combination of silver and white, but a sharp and bizarre combination of black and red.
It must be because it was given to anyone after it was completed and turned into a magic sword.
I stared at the Livrilli in Reed’s hand.
I don’t think I’m a bad person. However, the criteria for determining a ‘good person’ for the Holy Sword are very strict.
It’s clear that only someone like Tesilid Argent, who has been bound by discipline his entire life, can safely become the owner of the Holy Sword.
So it was uncertain whether I could meet that lofty standard.
If I lacked the qualifications and convictions... ... .
“Aren’t you confident?”
“......Are you having fun, you?”
“You’re one of my few pleasures.”
I know it’s a provocation, but thanks to it, I’ve made up my mind.
Anyway, there’s no other choice. I had to have that weapon.
Grab it.
Swish!
A violent vortex rose from my feet, creating an upward current. The fluttering hair made my vision dizzy.
“Ugh.”
Kuung!
An unknown shock wave pounded my heart. The blows continued while I held my breath.
Thump! Thump! Thump! [<System> Warning. ‘Librili’ is testing your qualifications.] I poured Master-level aura into Librili as if pouring it down. Then the shock wave hitting my heart subsided.
“As expected, your skills are solid. Oh, congratulations on becoming an Aura Master.”
“......Will you be quiet?”
Because I’m concentrating.
“Okay.”
At that moment, the gust of wind that enveloped my body mixed with an evil aura. My vision became dark and blocked as if I was trapped in a black wall.
Strange beings whispered in my ears.
<Let’s follow Reed.>
<Reed is part of him too. You should love Reed too.>
<What are you going to do by saving a world that torments and hates him?>
<You don’t have to try hard. Reed will only look after you.>
<Let’s be at ease both physically and mentally by Reed’s side.>
“.......”
Cunning thoughts poured into my head. It was when I was holding Livlili tightly with both hands and enduring the cunning temptation.
Suddenly, a real voice cut in.
“As I said before.......”
A corner of the darkness that had surrounded me collapsed. Reed had broken through the barrier of black air currents and approached me.
He took advantage of the gap where my two hands were tied together and came closer to me. More than necessary.
“If you come to me, you will be queen.”
The face of the man, dizzyingly beautiful, came closer.
But I couldn’t be deceived by the face and fall together with it. If I became a flying believer, the spirit would be sad.
“No need.”
Ss ... It felt strange that I now had a weapon that was like a part of my body.
<You have become the owner of the Holy Sword.>
Agnes said, not knowing whether to congratulate him or not.
Well, it was understandable since it was Reed who gave it to her.
Reed turned his feet toward the entrance and opened his mouth.
“Then now.......”
“Then now I will go and raid other useful items.”
“.......”
“I came all the way to the treasure house and you want me to take just one? That’s ridiculous.”
Reed laughed hoarsely.
“I can’t let you wander around alone. You’re a variable that’s hard to control. Tell me what you’re looking for.”
“......A wire weapon.”
He wanted to say ‘a chain strong enough to restrain you,’ but he held himself back and changed his words.
Since it came to this, he decided to take advantage of it. I don’t know if there’s anything better than the harp strings of the Spirit King that he’s using now.
“This way.”
The place Reed guided us to was a place where coiled wires were displayed like bracelets or necklaces.
He stopped to one side, as if he didn’t want to keep a close watch.
Thanks to that, I was able to look around the display case a little away from him.
Hmm, as expected.
I looked at the less than a hundred wire weapons, but nothing caught my eye.
<It seems like there’s nothing like the Spirit King’s Harp strings.>
“That’s too bad.”
<Yeah, too bad... ... , huh?>
“What’s wrong?”
<Bottom row, far right.>
The moment I fixed my gaze on the coordinates that Agnes whispered, I almost heard the same thing.
‘Huh?’
I barely covered my mouth to avoid attracting Reed’s attention.
What caught my eye was a black wire stuck in the corner. It was definitely a weapon I had never seen before, but it felt strangely familiar.
The barbed wire-like shape reminded me of someone wrapped around their left arm.
I realized it intuitively.
‘That’s not wire.’
Just then, the system broke through the display case’s defenses. The appraisal results came up with a somewhat crackling noise. [<Artifact> ‘Golden Black Death’
A seal that suppresses power. The more evil a being is, the more powerful it is, and it can be released by accumulating good karma or receiving punishment.]My instincts told me.
I have to take this.
Lead secretly!
I rolled my eyes and looked at Reid. I could see his handsome profile, leaning loosely against the pillar, arms crossed, and eyes closed.
Hoping that he would continue to imitate the statue for a little longer, I reached out to the black wire. 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝚠𝕖𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝕖𝚕.𝚌𝗼𝗺
Maybe the theft system would work like when I picked up the Archbishop’s rosary ring.
I swapped the black pearl necklace that was rolling around in my inventory with a gold black silk.
“.......”
Everything was over in an instant.
‘Whew.’
I was very nervous because it was my first time doing this. After relaxing, I put the ‘souvenir’ in my subspace inventory and turned around.
Now it was time to calmly pretend that nothing had happened.
“Reed.”
I approached him and called his name from the 100th episode.
The handsome man who had been betrayed by God and fallen into a deep sleep didn’t seem to open his eyes.
“Reed.”
After calling him once more, he finally showed his eyes and let me hear his voice.
“Yeah, Ailet.”
“.......”
I don’t know why his call struck me so deeply at this moment.
“I looked around.”
“What do you like?”
“Nothing in particular. Nothing is as good as the gift you gave me.”
He laughed at the obvious words.
“Get out.”
We walked together again as if we were companions.
The labyrinth seemed to be unfinished. As we got closer to our destination, the unfinished parts of the stone wall became more noticeable.
Golden sand flowed down through the cracks that looked like cracks, like a waterfall between rocks.
Among them, there was a rather unique crack. Instead of flowing sand, surreal swirls were moving chaotically.
It was a subspace crack that seemed to suck us into a strange place.
I glanced down at my right palm as I watched.
There was a sign of the contract I had received from Inferinos, a distorted blue crescent pattern.
After leaving the storage room and walking for about ten minutes, we finally arrived at our destination.
At the end of the path was a huge door that seemed to be the room of a giant.
If I hadn’t raised my head high to check the shape of the door, I might have thought it was just a wall.
Opening such a heavy door was just a gesture from Reed, who had planted chaos evil in his body. The huge archway opened left and right.
De, de, de, de, thud!
A dreary air poured out from the gradually widening gap.
The cold hands of the ghost seemed to grab my ankles and crawl up my body.
Reed took the lead. I took a deep breath and stepped into the unknown space. [<System> Entered the ‘Altar of Chaos’.] A contrasting landscape with the Chaos Shrine towering above unfolded before my eyes.
It was a place where circular stairs that seemed to draw concentric circles dug down in a funnel shape.
I didn’t feel anything particularly suspicious.
Despite the name of the altar, it seemed that no special ritual had been performed yet.
“Look around slowly.”
“.......”
Quick words, relaxed attitude.
What did Reed want to show me?
My gaze reached the bottom and center of the stairs. There was a hole that looked like a well.
Since the only thing worth noting in this chaotic altar was the well, my two feet slowly descended the stairs.
As I gradually got closer, I could see that the water in the well was so dark that I couldn’t even guess its depth.
As I continued to look at it and approached it, I had a strange feeling that I wasn’t walking toward the well, but rather the well was sucking me in.
I stepped down the last step. It was only five steps away from the well. [‘The Words That Build the World’ stares at ■■■ with a stern expression.]
