Supreme Husband System! & Supreme Wife System!-Chapter 142: What are you talking about?

"Wait, wait, wait! Are you saying that you can only take the Sacred Weapon by killing its owner?" asked Idan.

This issue was extremely important to them. After all, their mission from the System was to take possession of the Sacred Weapon. If they can't do without killing, then they'll have to kill the Hero?

Kill a Diamond-ranked being?

"Well, yes!" replied Esma without hesitation. She didn't need to think about it, because everyone in this world knew about the existence and features of Sacred Weapons. That's why no one tried to steal or take them.

"Otherwise, a lot of blood would have been shed because of these Sacred Weapons, and their owners would have been replaced like gloves," Esma added. Although she thought that they would have ended up in the hands of the powerful beings of this world anyway.

Idan rubbed his temples thoughtfully. If Esma's words were true, then this presented a serious problem.

"Do we really have to kill a Hero to get this Staff?" Idan repeated to himself.

Arabel, who had been listening intently to their conversation, was also confused and realized where it was all going.

[Host. You don't need to kill the Hero. You just need to pick up the staff and forcibly move it to your own storage space, temporarily severing the connection of the Sacred Weapon with its owner. Leave the rest to the System!]

"Fuck, couldn't you have said it earlier?" asked Idan, relaxing a little. If what the System suggested really works, then maybe with Esma's help they can pull it off.

[Host, before proceeding with this, you need to weaken the connection between the owner and the Sacred Weapon a bit. If this connection is too strong, even your storage space won't be able to hold the Sacred Weapon.]

"Weaken it, huh?" thought Idan.

Arabel, noticing that Idan was lost in thought, turned to Esme with a question about the Hero.

— What do you know about the Hero himself?

"No more than yours, — Esma replied. — I've only heard rumors from my visitors, and I can't say for sure if they're true or not.

Esma, who had been in Limbo for a long time, stopped paying attention to the newcomers and enjoyed her freedom by running her shop in the second city.

"We'll keep that in mind, — Arabel told her.

The couple did not have enough information about the Hero, and they needed to gather information from various sources in order to get a better understanding of him.

"The first news that reached me about him was different from what I heard afterwards. Back then, most people spoke of the Hero as a reliable and promising young man. After all, once in Limbo, he immediately decided to challenge this place and try to find a way out."

By that time, Idan, having outlined a plan of action, began to listen attentively to Esma's story about the Hero.

"Like most of the "prisoners," the Hero also felt that it was probably fate that had brought him to this place, and that he was destined to find a way out. However, as you know, in all the time that has passed, no one, including the Hero, has succeeded."

According to their master Milica, no one has yet managed to find a way out of Limbo.

"I do not know what happened to him during his time in Limbo. After some time, rumors began to spread that the Hero had dealt with the previous outsider leader in the first city and taken his place. From that moment on, the rumors began to appear more often, and they were no longer so harmless. Perhaps the Hero had already shown his true colors back then, or what had happened had changed him..."

Esma couldn't be sure of that, as it was just a rumor.

"There is some truth in her words. The hero was indeed righteous before he became the leader of the outsiders of the first city. But do you know what caused this change?" Lucinda suddenly intervened in the conversation, who appeared in the room without warning.

None of those present noticed her appearance. Everyone immediately became alert, despite being inside the Adventurer's Guild.

Lucinda's uninvited appearance in their room was already considered a violation of the rules.

"Calm down...I brought her here at her request," Sierra spoke up as she entered the room, followed by Nemo and Eulalia.

The faces of the last two were frowning, and they seemed to be so immersed in their own thoughts that they did not notice what was happening in the room.

Sierra's words lightened the situation a bit, but not completely.

With Lucinda's arrival, Arabel's entire attention was focused on her.

"Calm down, little sister," Sierra said, "she doesn't know that your lover has an affinity with the element of Light. Until he reveals it himself, she won't find out and try to kidnap your chosen one."

Arabel heard these words spoken by Sierra with the help of the Soul Force, and her face darkened even more, and her gaze became more hostile.

Arabel couldn't tell if Sierra was trying to calm her down or if she was deliberately provoking her by saying these words. And her sly smile added even more suspicion.

"What are you talking about?" Esma asked Lucinda, noticing the obvious hostility in her companion's eyes. She still couldn't figure out why this younger sister was so opposed to her.

"I want to say that I agree with your words that the Hero was originally an honest and purposeful person," Lucinda replied.

Her gaze remained fixed on Esme for a while longer, but then she shifted it to Arabel and frowned. She felt the hostility coming from the young Valkyrie from another world.

"And why are you here?" Arabel asked sharply, hostility in her voice, as well as in her eyes.

"I'm here to warn you not to do anything rash. I'll deal with the Hero myself," Lucinda said, staring intently at Arabel.

Lucinda wasn't going to defend the Hero or justify his actions towards this couple. She had already noticed a drastic change in their behavior and began to suspect that they were already plotting something. So, she decided to warn them not to do anything rash.

In fact, she was doing it for their own sake. After all, the hero is not as simple as it seems. In addition, she wanted to warn the couple about this problematic Valkyrie, which was the source of all these events.

"Is this Hero really your lover?" asked Esma, unable to bear Lucinda's hostile gaze any longer.

Instead of being embarrassed, Lucinda began to radiate even more hostility directed at Esma.

The others were also somewhat puzzled and remembered that even when Esma first appeared, Lucinda also showed a clear intention to kill her.

"Bitch, watch your mouth! It's because of you that he became like this!"

Esma was at a loss, startled by Lucinda's words.

"Why do you think a man like him, who was chosen as one of the Sacred Weapons, suddenly turned into an unstable and lustful one? Who will constantly run after beautiful women just to satisfy his inner demands?"

After hearing Lucinda's accusations against Esma, Idan and Arabel looked at Esma in horror.

This story reminded them of the actions of Esma's original body towards the Ice Valkyrie of the "Legendary" rank. Was it really her doing that the Hero had become such a person?

Sierra had already guessed this and wasn't so surprised. But Nemo and Eulalia were both in the dark and couldn't fully understand what was going on.
