Dungeon Monsters Keep Offering Sacrifices

Chapter 41

41 – The Demon Sword and the Fake Necromancer (2)

As soon as I arrived home, I took out my smartphone again.

– Would you like to receive the magic sword?

When the alarm asked if I wanted to receive the magic sword, I clicked the option to receive it right away without even thinking about it.

“…… !”

At that moment, black smoke rose from the smartphone.

What? Why is this like this?

When Maru was summoned, it was a completely different phenomenon from when intense light leaked out.

The entire house was engulfed in dark smoke.

The light on the ceiling blinked and then turned off completely.

Literally darkness fell.

A quiet silence came.

Fortunately, this silence did not last long.

The electricity came back on, the lights in the room came on, and the dark smoke that had encroached on the entire house was slowly receding.

“… ….”

I was momentarily taken aback by the sudden phenomenon.

Soon the interior of the room returned to its original state.

One thing that was different was that there was a heavy sword above the smartphone.

“Is this a magic sword?”

Just looking at it, it looked different from an ordinary sword.

The appearance of the magic sword was dyed black from the scabbard to the handle. It evoked feelings as cold as darkness itself.

The handle of the sword had bone-like pieces stuck together, making it look even more hideous.

It wasn’t just the appearance.

“Is it because of the mana sensitivity trait?”

I could feel the mana fluctuating around the magic sword.

It felt as if things that did not exist in the first place and should not exist were driving out the surrounding mana.

It was literally a sword made of darkness and death itself.

Even people who don’t know anything will not think this is an ordinary sword the moment they see it.

It was giving off such a sinister force.

“Can I hold this?”

The problem is that the power of the magic sword is so vicious that I am concerned about whether I can catch it.

People’s perception of the magic sword was the same.

An artifact that corrupts the target instead of giving them powerful power.

I only saw it in records a few times when I was on the El Dorad continent, but this was my first time actually seeing the magic sword like this.

Therefore, it is true that she had some expectations when Celia said that she had offered her magic sword as a sacrifice.

But when I actually saw the magic sword, I couldn’t help but feel worried.

First of all, it looked a bit dangerous in appearance.

It seemed like there wouldn’t be many people who could successfully catch the magic sword that was giving off an unpleasant force.

Is it really okay for me to hold on to what I am now?

Could it be that something goes wrong like the cases we saw in the records?

But soon I shook my head.

“Let’s stop talking about being weak.”

My goal is to become stronger.

This world has never been a warm place that gives to the weak.

Have you not experienced such a situation yourself?

At one time, I was so desperate to gain strength that I even had to sell my soul to the devil.

But now that I have a status window, gain characteristics, and gain strength, I wonder if my stomach is full.

“It’s far.”

Now, there was only a status window and one characteristic.

I still had to become stronger.

Just looking at Kang Jin-soo among his Academy classmates, the same thing happened.

Kang Jin-soo, whose grades were in the lower to mid-range, is currently working at the Awakened Center.

Luckily, they didn’t worry about me because they were doing public work, but that could change at any time.

If he puts his mind to it, he could easily block the path ahead of me.

Even if it wasn’t to that extent, it was a position where he could at least interfere.

In contrast, I had no power now.

The voices of the powerless were just silent cries.

I chose.

This magic sword was offered by Celia as her sacrifice.

Celia sacrificed things that would benefit me so far.

I trusted Celia that much.

“Yes.”

As soon as I made up my mind, I lifted the magic sword.

The surrounding mana began to tremble.

But that was all.

“Nothing’s wrong?”

Literally there was no change.

Except for the magic sword being held in my hand.

“Surely I have to draw my sword?”

I didn’t hesitate this time.

I slowly took out the magic sword from its sheath.

Dark smoke rose again.

Thrill-

I felt a tingling sensation as if electricity had passed through my hand holding the magic sword.

Every time the blade of the magic sword appeared, the tingling pain continued to grow stronger.

“Pfft.”

Still, I held on.

– The demon sword tries to interfere with the user’s soul.

– The user’s soul is bound to the dungeon. The Demon Sword’s soul interference fails.

Soul? Solidarity?

What does all that mean?

Sentences appeared before my eyes, but it was no time to pay attention to them right now.

I endured the pain and exerted a lot of strength.

I tried to take the magic sword out of its sheath.

And soon, the completely drawn magic sword revealed itself.

At the same time, all the tingling pain disappeared.

“This is the magic sword… ?”

A magic sword that came out of its sheath.

The blade of the sword radiated darkness and glowed black. At the same time, there were red lines on the surface, reminiscent of blood vessels.

If you look at the overall appearance, it has become even more ugly.

But you have to gain strength.

So, I picked up the magic sword and pulled it out.

The problem is.

“Why isn’t anything happening?”

The ferocious force of the magic sword that I felt at first disappeared.

I put the magic sword in its sheath and took it out again, but nothing changed.

I didn’t even feel the pain from before again.

“What is it?”

As I was pondering that, a new alarm appeared before my eyes.

– You have become the true master of the magic sword.

– Binds the soul of the magic sword to the user’s soul.

– Adjust causality.

– Except for some of the characteristics of the magic sword, it is sealed.

“?”

Suddenly, an alarm occurred to me that I had become the owner of the magic sword.

Now that I think about it, I remembered the phrase that the devil’s sword tried to interfere with my soul but failed when the pain overwhelmed me.

“Could it be that effect?”

I checked the alarm and immediately called up the status window.

“Status window.”

The status window in front of me had several changes.

[Characteristics]

– Mana Sensitivity (A)

– Master of the Demon Sword (S)

[Basic information]

Vitality: C+

Attack power: B

Defense: C

mana: A+

Holy power: F

[Skill]

– Knight Ordinance (S)

– Goddess’ Healing (F)

“Oh.”

First of all, my abilities had changed.

When I first got the status window, all abilities were rated F-.

Even if the level was slightly raised, the abilities could not go beyond the F grade.

After acquiring the mana sensitivity trait, except for the fact that the magic grade was raised to B grade, other abilities were still miserable.

And now.

I obtained the magic sword and all my abilities increased.

The vitality, attack power, and defense power, which were F grade, all increased by several levels.

Due to the mana sensitivity characteristic, the magic power, which was B grade, increased to A+.

However, the divine power was an exception and remained at F grade.

“Is this the power of the magic sword?”

Even the S-class trait of ‘Master of the Demon Sword’ as well as the list of skills that used to be one changed.

Immediately appointed as a knight.

It is an S-class skill.

“I’m not sure just by looking at the name, right?”

This is my first time hearing about the skill called knighthood.

I immediately checked the description of the skill.

– Knight Ordinance (S): The owner with the rightful right to the magic sword, bestows the magic sword along with a knighthood to his loyal subordinates.

The skill cannot be used until the entity that was given the knighthood and the magic sword disappears.

“Um….”

If you just look at the description, it seems like a slightly ambiguous skill.

Of course, it cannot be ignored because it is a skill with an incredible level of S class.

“I can’t use the magic sword?”

From noble mtl dot com

If you give the magic sword to someone else, you literally cannot use the magic sword.

I am the owner of the magic sword, but I can’t swing it….

I grabbed the magic sword and swung it once in the air.

“Hmm.”

If I think about it, I have practiced swinging a sword a few times in the past.

Because there was no status window, I trained like that.

Of course, the result was obvious.

No matter how many swords he swung, he could never catch up with anyone with swordsmanship-related characteristics or skills.

Even if the skill is better right now, when someone with swordsmanship skills trains, the gap gradually begins to narrow, and then a reversal occurs.

Of course, I practiced like this because I didn’t have anything at the time, but now I have a status window and many more features.

“Do I really need to swing the magic sword?”

It was not the answer to my concerns.

I glanced at the floor next to me.

“Maru, come here.”

I thought it would be a good idea to check what the skills were.

If the results were not as expected, all I had to do was retrieve the magic sword again.

The skill description clearly states that the skill can only be used again if the entity given the magic sword disappears, but that was something I could just think about at the time.

I used the skill towards Maru, who was standing blankly.

‘Investment as a knight.’

At the same time, the magic sword was placed in front of Maru.

Maru, knowing what I meant, began to hold the magic sword with her bony hands.

At the same time, dark smoke appeared and enveloped Maru’s entire body.

The color of her bones, which were once white on the floor, gradually turned darker.

Just-

Maru made a noise, twisting her whole body as if she was in pain.

How much time has passed?

The pure white bones were gone everywhere, and only the blackened bones remained.

At the same time as the floor changes.

– The monster ‘Skeleton Soldier (★)’ was ordained a knight by the owner of the magic sword.
