Chapter 30: Awaken the True Sword
The four of them began walking out of the restaurant, leaving the unconscious people inside. Before leaving, Wang Luo secretly threw the sign Seria had picked up back onto the ground. The four of them hurriedly headed toward the mountains, riding in a rented carriage, with Jia Yi as the driver, leaving the other three waiting in the carriage. As time passed, the four of them arrived at their destination.
Across the forest, a large mountain lay ahead, the ground clear and green, the wind blowing gently. Seraph stepped down and looked at the massive mountain.
[How will we know where those people have cut the hole?] Seria jumped down and stood beside Seraph.
[It's definitely around here. Brother Seraph took the trouble to look for the row of ketchup spread over it somewhere.] "Then, I'll go look around. Maybe I'll find the entrance." Seria quickly disappeared from sight.
Wang Luo stood guard, preventing Jia Yi from escaping. The reason was because Seria wanted to bring the man with her. As time passed, Seria ran back to the original spot because she couldn't find the entrance. Seraph, not wanting to disturb Seria, was searching hard.
Seraph felt tired from standing still. [Standing for so long without finding anything. You should really ask someone who knows. Why did you bring the cook here? What was Seria thinking? I've been standing for so long. I need to sit down and rest. Standing and waiting won't help.] Seraph walked towards a tree.
Seraphim chose a place to sit and sit down on the ground. As soon as Seraph sat down, the ground where Seraph was sitting, BOOM! Seraph fell into the hole. The ground caved in. He looked calmly up at the sky, which was dimly lit and pitch black. Seraph lay down on the ground, staring at the sky. Since the hole wasn't very deep, he wasn't injured, and Seraph's cloak was a magical item.
Seraph thought curiously. [What bad luck! Who would dig a hole near a tree?] Seraph started to sit up and dust off the dirt on his clothes. The surroundings were pitch-black, illuminated only by light from above. Seria was searching intently, and she hurried to check on her brother. Seria looked down. "Brother, are you okay?" Seraph stood up and shook his head. "It's nothing."
Seria quickly jumped to the ground. Whoosh! Thud! Seria landed on the ground with an angry expression on her face. "Big brother, here we go again. How many times have I warned you not to help me?"
"I was just sitting on the ground, and the ground collapsed?"
"Oh... Big brother knows where the Asami gang is hiding.
"I can't even think about it." Seria's cheeks puffed up like a puffer fish.
"Hmm, I'll be careful." [Actually, I just wanted to find a place to sit.]
Wang Luo saw the two of them fall into the hole and rushed over, frantically. "Are you two okay!?"
"It's nothing. Please bring Miss Jia Yi here. We found the base!
Seria stood intently surveying the surroundings. Behind Seraph, there was a hole that needed to be drilled through. [This way, I wonder what's waiting there?]
Jia jumped down with Wang Luo, each holding a lantern. Seria walked in front, Seraph trailing behind. In the pitch-black darkness, illuminated by the lanterns, Seria walked at a pace that allowed people to keep up, observing their surroundings. As time passed, the four of them reached the end of the path, which had only been dug up so far. Seria began to wonder what to do.
Seraph, who had no intention of helping, looked around with interest. [Seria seemed to have the right idea. He was using a large man to dig in the ground to find something. What kind of magical item was this?] Seria stood in front of a wall covered in dirt
In the blink of an eye, Seraph's vision cut to a sudden thud. Slap! Seraph's eyes closed, his face hitting the wall. Bang! Seraph's face crashed into the wall. Seria rushed over, frantically. "Big brother!?" Seria ran over to grab Seraph, who had fallen asleep again.
[Is this the second time? We need to hurry back to the doctor!] Seria shouted, carrying Seraph. "We're going back quickly, so come on, I need to get you to the doctor immediately." Seria ran at high speed, overtaking Wang Luo and Jia Yi. The two chased after Seria, unable to keep up with the situation. Seria ran frantically.
[What happened to my brother? It wasn't just faking fainting, but something was definitely causing my brother to act this way. Something.]
Somewhere in the white ring, Seraph sat at a gold table with a calm expression. [I didn't tell you he was going to do this. It's probably a mess over there.]
In front of Seraph Rindel was sitting in a chair, looking at Arthur suspiciously. Arthur's body was covered in wounds. Arthur bowed to both of them and said, "Master, do you have any magical items that can heal wounds?" Seraph was still catching up. Rindel smiled at Arthur.
"Are you in a dangerous situation? Tell me about it. Maybe I, Mr. One, can help Mr. Two. Tell me." Arthur nodded and began to tell him everything he had encountered with the permission of the Holy Sword Excalibur. "This is how it goes."
Earlier, Arthur warped back to the original location. Arthur quickly used the golden cloak Seraph had given him to cover the Holy Sword Excalibur. Once he had wrapped the Holy Sword Excalibur properly, Arthur ran into the forest. Arthur ran into the pitch-black forest. The Holy Sword was covered in an aura of energy, causing the forest monsters to dare to run towards him. The Holy Sword spoke up.
"Hurry up, Arthur. The warriors are getting closer to you." Plus, some of them are dangerous enough to easily kill you. I'm so weak right now, I need to bask in the sunlight to restore my sword energy.
[I'm in a hurry, too? I've been running for so long. Before those warriors killed me, I was probably killed by the demons behind me. Isn't this the way to go?] "Don't talk so much. Trust me. I'm the Holy Sword Excalibur, the best sword in the world. No one can compare to me. I can see your talent. Arthur, swing me back quickly!"
Arthur swung the golden-robed sword and swung it back. Behind Arthur, a demon leaped up, about to attack him, but the holy sword shattered the demon's body with a loud bang! The demon's flesh and blood splattered everywhere. Arthur resumed running.
Arthur ran and sat down on the ground, bending down to touch the ground. Whoosh! The black wolf demon leaped and bit. Arthur looked up at the demon's belly and swung his sword, slashing it. Phew! Boom! The demon's belly was split in half. "Back!" The Holy Sword commanded Arthur to execute his command. The demon behind Arthur was destroyed. Boom! Arthur started running again, his black wolf companion chasing after him like a soulmate.
Time passed, and Arthur ran, exhausted. [My sword is no more! This is my limit! Originally, if we just ran in separate directions, I wouldn't have to run away from the demon. Where are you taking me?]
"Here we go. This is your luck, as the Fate Organization just said. The sword you hold isn't my true form, but merely the spirit of the Holy Sword. This is where you must receive your destiny. As soon as I grabbed the golden cloak I received from the person calling himself Zero, that person saw through my identity. Now, the Light Cloak. The cloak's ability is to absorb light energy. When you didn't have the cloak, I had to wait until your energy reached level six. But thanks to this cloak you received, you were able to release me before the appointed time. Now, repeat after me.
Arthur chanted after the sword, "An ordinary sword, a sword of no importance, a sword of no danger, a sword of no evil, a sword that shines brightly in the darkness. My sword is the light that guides the people. As long as this sword is not broken, the light will live forever. Wake up, you have slept for too long. Wake up, holy sword, Excalibur." Arthur thrust the sword into the ground.
Smack! The golden tip of the sword pierced the ground, creating a vast glow that filled the place like light covering the ground.
