Chapter 40

There's one more thing that I do want to know. To tell the truth, it keeps me wondering for a long time so today I might find the answer

"So, you two are the hero of human, am I right?"

"... Yeah"

"Can you tell me, is the Light clan, the goddess clan, making you these weapons and armour?"

"... No. Our weapon and armour are being forged by the blacksmith"

"So, what about the sacred weapon? do you happen to know how does the sacred weapon is created?"

As expected. They immediately silent for that and keep looking each other with an eye signal, you're too young to fool me human

"Hey, answer him!" 

They began to whisper each other with a frightening face right after they saw that furious face of Godin

"You see, I just want to know... that's all. About this demon... you don't have to worry. I'll restrain him from doing anything"

"We... not worry about him..."

What do you mean by that?

"...You are the... Sealgair... the demon who always hunt the holy knight. One of the twelve high ranking demons"

What? they recognize my face? even though I didn't bring with me my spear?

"Ho... has my face been drawn on the bounty list?"

"Y-yes. Your bounty, your strength, even your behaviour... we all know about it"

"Well, that made things easier. If you know me that well, you do realise what will happen if you try to make me upset"

"N-no..."

"Then, speak out. I'll not harm you if you answer my question with honest. Although I always go for the holy knight but remember this... I always hate lies and tricks"

"I-I understand... I hope you keep your words..."

"I will"

At last... I finally reach the truth about the sacred weapon. Since I forgot to ask my men and Prince Wallen about it, then these heroes will do.

"The crucial part... of making all kind of magic weapon and armour, including the sacred weapon... the most needed ingredient to make these is... demon

Demon? what do they mean by saying that?

"What... do you mean by saying that?"

They began to explain it to me with care. They said, demon... is a creature or a monster who been gifted with all kind of passive skill. Among all living things in this world, it was a demon who stands above them as they are the most powerful. Passive skill is one thing to be awed, the demon's body can use as the material as well... and they say it can cost a fortune of money by selling it.

Since the goddess clan cannot set foot other than their territory, they request to the others for bringing it to them. And only a certain quality of demon's body that may pass as the next sacred weapon, and the light clan will sure of it.

But to think all of my sacred weapons was a demon in a past... not to mention that I've got a lot of unique with a strong passive skill on it too. Doesn't that mean that they are quite a powerful demons? damn, if I met those guys first before these human... maybe they can satisfy my desire on fighting the strong opponent

"Sheron, let's kill these humans. I feel want to vomit after hearing their story"

 Godin cannot hold his urge to kill these girls, his hand has already held the dagger with trembling. 

"Wait... let me ask them more"

"No, you can't! you have heard it from their mouth... this filthy being has peeled our people's skin and flesh for decades, and then make it as weapons or armours. They're the reason for my village..."

"I understand your reason, but you have to wait until I finish talking with them"

Those girls have been terrified with Godin sudden yells, and of course they only able to grasp the situation but not to comprehend our talk because we talk in our demon's language

"Then, how about those demons that have the same humanoid body as you guys? did you kill them as well?"

"We... made them as our slave, or as a practical training. Some say that selling demon's heart is more profitable...b-but that's not our doing! we're just doing the quest for protecting our home"

"Enough for your blabbering, your time in this world has come to an end!" Godin extend his arm by thrust his dagger to one of them

This is so much for him to handle. I hold his dagger by my bare hand, to stop him from attacking them. The blood has dripped from my palm while trying to cool him down. This dagger really sharp, it slices my hard skin with ease... and this dagger was one of the sacred weapons I give to him as a gift.

"Sheron... I-I..."

"It's okay... I know how you feel... but please calm yourself"

I cannot blame him. His village was completely gone... raided by the human. They torch the house, beheaded the resident with ruthless, shooting them without a second thought, store the kids in the cage while killing their guardian in front of their eyes... at that time, those human really beyond their control.

When the time I have met him, he was still a kid and his age around 7. His people's age has the same flow as the human. I found him being locked in the cage with the other kids while watching their house being burn to a crisp. Luckily I've just returned from the battlefield and planning to go to my training place, I saw a flame has burned the woods with a loud of creaming with pain.

I rush to that place and stunned a bit. It was caused by the human's army that fled from the battlefield. The scene was dark and cruel... even for me. Countless head rolling on the ground, not to mention their body being stabbed by the wood and left hanging in the middle of the road like a pole. Even they make the villagers as their shooting targets. I can't bear any longer so I decided to put those human's act to an end.

I slaughter almost all of them alone but sadly, I only catch a glimpse of the one who responsible it, running away. I went to the cage and release them, then brought them to that Old Gray. Come to think about it, that guy has the same armour as that Emerald guy... maybe it was him.

"Then, how should we dealt these humans?" Godin's word has brought me back from my deep thought.

"I do say that I'll let them live, So I'll abide it... but in my own way"

"But these type of human that cause our-"

"Trust me on this okay, Godin?"

Of course, I'll not back on my word, but saving them with my current appearance... definitely no. So I take Godin away and leave them. Seen that choke and chain bind them, I pretty sure that's mana's absorb device, so I wouldn't think they have any strength to get away from that chain. I told him about my plan and he seems to reluctant but with a little push, he's finally agreed.

I change myself into a human, Sven's form. Strange enough, it doesn't feel any pain like when I turn back into my original self... but I let it be. And Godin has entered the room which that those girls at it.

"My friend has gone back to his home. He told me to spare your life..."

"Really...? thank god... thank you," I can hear their stress has out from their thought judging from their tone

"But... that doesn't mean I'll do the same. I feel disgusted just by looking your ugly face, now... prepare for your sin!"

He began to pull out his short sword from his back and swing with a horizontal arc to them. That's the signal for me to barge in.

They have been surprised by my sudden dash and I immediately clashing with Godin and lead him to the wall. Of course, it was all an act to make them believe that I coming for them.

"W-who are you?"

"I'm Sven, the grand knight. I've been requested by your sister to come rescue you," hearing my reason, they began to cry. Human... really likes to cry huh...

"Do not interfere my judgment on them, you lowly human!" Godin plays his role well...or that's what I thought

We began to exchange attacks, and of course, it was I who was overwhelming him since my skill in the weapon are far greater than Godin. After I give him a light kick in the stomach, he jumps back to created distance.

"Ehehehe... you're dead meat, human!"

Hmm, this is... one of his 'desperate' spell... the bow skill: homing. Whatever he threw at me, will definitely hit the target as the small target placed at my heart, The colour of these striped circle like a shooting practice really budging me. And hey, this is the first time Godin use his spell with killing intent on me.

But, I don't want to play along with this spell, it's annoying!. I releasing my fog of despair to counter it. The fog has wandered around the building as well, but that's my first goal. I'm not solely targetting at Godin, but to those who were in this building, including these girls.

My fog can suck all the strength in those who breathe in it or fall its illusion, combine with my purple sphere, it can absorb back the fog and shattered into a particle, then I'll obtain their physical strength by eating those particles. 

Godin should know this spell of mine

"whats with this fog, ah!" one of those girls seems in a painful situation. Of course girl, the fog now is trying to take away all of your physical attributes

With that chain absorb your mana, plus with my fog taken away your physical attribute... you'll become no more than a plain human girl.

Godin noticed it and understood my intention, so he just stands still and acts as cautious as an enemy would be.

"What did you do?" He tries to length up the time for me

Not responding his question, I keep focusing on taking away their attribute. Good, I think now is the time. I create the purple sphere and suck all the fog into it. I can feel a lot of numbers I gain based on how thick the fog now is from before, maybe it's from the heroes and the goblin champion who guarding in this building. Once the sphere breaks and turns into particles, I swallow it with glutton... it's delicious.

"You... somewhat become stronger than before...! you're monster!" Godin tries to run away by casting a transportation spell. I deliberately slow my pace to chase him... and he got away just like I planned for.

"Are you guys okay?" I snap the chokers on their neck.

"Thank you... how did you know we're here?"

That's a tough question...

"A-ah, I come here after they give me the job of rescuing you. I already split with them long enough so we must get out of here fast so I could lend them a hand"

"R-right!"

I tear down the chain with my 'new' strength that I acquire, and it went easy as ripping the minotaur's body with a bare hand.

"So... which one of you is Trivith's sister?"

"me... I'm Clive" a long black hair girl raise his hand in response my answer

"And this one?"

"Veronica..."

"So... Clive and Veronica... I'm Sven. And as I told before... I'm the grand knight, the one and only in this kingdom for now. I also the leader of my own army, the Regulus. Now, let's get going"

Since their body is still numb by those chains, they've not noticed on I restoring back their strength a little by touching their leg. That way, I cant be any suspicious as I should be.

We run and went downstairs, the girls also bring with them their magic weapons and armours. Just about we arrive at the second floor, our eyes have focused on the goblins who lie down on with trembling with their weapons on their side untouched.

At the end of the corner, there are three female elves... headed to the corner with crawling as their naked body has shown in front of me. Ho... how should I say... what a smooth and bright skin they have. I might have a go with them after all- No no no no no! 

Damn... I almost fell to my own lust. No wonder they called elves as the top beauty among all being.

"Lord Sven!" that word has slapped me

"Y-yes?"

"we should save them and bring along with us" Clive's face way too close to me

"S-sure, that's the main goal after all..."
