Chapter 21 Death Emblem(2)
update icon Updated at 2025/6/7 9:10:12

Demon Sword...

A terrifying weapon forged from the bones of the Dragon Emperor, an existence that even the Divine Lord fears immensely.

Legend has it that souls are sacrificed, blood serves as the medium, and ultimately the body becomes the vessel.

Abandoned by the laws of the world, it is the most powerful weapon, a demon that consumes life to fulfill its massacres!

Every generation of Magic Sword users has lost precious lives due to the bloodthirsty skill of the Magic Sword.

But some people say that their deaths are not completely meaningless, they are just... willing to sacrifice everything to protect...

Since the birth of the ancient Saint Veronica, there has been a rumor that the existence of the Dragon Slayer Magic Sword poses a great threat to the world.

These old and cliché stories were denied a few generations ago because the inheritor of the Dragon Slayer Magic Sword never appeared. However, there were countless successors to the Magic Sword, but the Dragon Slayer Magic Sword that existed only in rumors never appeared.

The existence of the Magic Sword is even more extravagant and clueless...

Even the gods in the world have a dark side.

Tracing back billions of years ago, during the era when the ancient original continent was ruled by the Black Dragon Emperor, humans suffered mass killings by the shadows.

In that crucial battle for the survival of all things in the world, humans were almost completely extinct, with only a few surviving.

However... the Black Dragon Emperor was not completely eliminated, only temporarily sealed.

So, in order to achieve a longer-lasting peace and tranquility, and to permanently seal it, the eight kings of that time had to make a stunning decision.

This decision also included the intentions of the elders of the Elder Council of the divine race.

"Seal off all passages between the new continent and the original continent, and forever seal the Black Dragon Emperor in that space!"

Perhaps, the Dragon Slayer Magic Sword itself is not real, because even the era ruled by the Black Dragon Emperor cannot be verified, so the legend of the Magic Sword becomes more and more faint, until it completely disappears on the continent.

Having said that, the Magic Sword is still an unrecognized banned weapon because it uses... power that does not belong to this world!

"Huh..."

The black blade washes the horizon with blood, taking a deep breath.

Opening my eyes...

Recalling the temperature at that time, the residual warmth of the hilt still lingers on my fingertips, as if it is confiding something to me.

When I woke up again, there was only a strong smell of medicine in the room...

The people around me were already fully engaged in battle, and Lan was shaking my body anxiously, seemingly worried about my sudden fainting. But, I vaguely saw a slender figure, a redhead girl.

"Sister...?" In a half-conscious state, I mumbled, "I'm sorry... for what I did!!! Huh?"

I suddenly sat up from the sickbed, feeling completely drained, and looked around with sweat pouring down my face.

"Lan? Sister Yukari? You..." I just realized that they had somehow appeared by my side, and even Ancestor was quietly basking in the sun by the window.

Impressive, they were vampires of a higher level than even vampire nobles, yet they could still enjoy the sunlight. I chuckled to myself.

"Oh... of course, I am not to be compared with those self-proclaimed nobles!" Ancestor suddenly yawned, not even bothering to look in my direction. "Your emotions tell me that you are concerned about me being able to withstand sunlight, right?"

"... No, I'm not." I turned my head away.

"Hehe, that's for the best. The abilities we top vampires possess, including the ability to withstand sunlight, are the highest secrets that must not be revealed." Ancestor joked.

Quite a twisted sense of humor...

But speaking of which, I am still very confused about my ability to take away others' competence. After all, this ability was originally meant for me to use as an escape plan in critical moments. However, at times, this competence would suddenly disappear without a trace, as if it never existed in the first place!

On another note, I have copied Teacher Juxi's competence before – the Golden Spear!

I can clearly sense the terrifying nature of that competence! The kind of competence that can destroy opponents in the blink of an eye... but it seems that I didn't use it in the last competition? Did I hold back?

"Ancestor, I used God's Hand to probe Teacher Juxi's competence, but... he seems to have hidden his competence himself." I expressed my concern.

"Once the Golden Spear appears, the opponent is doomed!" Teacher Juxi, dressed in a white robe, appeared suddenly in the corner of the room from transparent to solid form. "Even I find it difficult to control the Golden Spear, after all—it has enough power to destroy Saint Veronica!"

At this point, Teacher Juxi suddenly looked towards Ancestor, who was leaning against a chair, and said calmly, "Paroni's competence within your body is very important to us. Your future will definitely have great room for improvement."

"Yes, Paroni's Magic Sword is currently the most powerful Magic Sword I have seen." Ancestor, who had been squatting by the side without saying a word, suddenly spoke up. "However, I did not feel the presence of the Creator in it, perhaps..."

"No possibility should be overlooked. Remember, it's always better to be cautious." Another person who casually walked in, but this time it really surprised me - Headmaster?!

What's going on today? All of the strongest members of Saint Veronica have unexpectedly gathered here?

"I am here for official business... of course, I also came for your sake." Although the Headmaster didn't look in my direction, her gaze revealed that she was here for me!

Perhaps after seeing so many people gathered, Ancestor finally couldn't sit still and said, "Hehe, I wonder why all of you suddenly appeared today... hehe, I hope it's not all for Paroni, right?"
