Chapter 519 As a Sword
"Ping!"
I am a sword, a newly forged sword.
"It's done, it's done, the sword is finally done!"
In a strange room, an unshaven old man held me high up and exclaimed excitedly.
"bass!"
The old man inserted the body of my sword into a piece of strange iron stone, and then a strange flush appeared on his face. After the high emotions, his breath suddenly weakened, and he fell down holding the hilt of the sword.
But I can't do anything, I'm just a sword...
"Master Rudy, what's wrong with you, Master Rudy..."
Someone noticed that something was wrong with the old man, and rushed over shouting to help him. At his call, many people came in soon and looked at the old man with concern on their faces.
"Huh... My body has reached its limit..."
Master Rudy was breathing rapidly, his throat making a whistling sound like a broken bellows, and he spoke to the young man who was supporting him.
"But fortunately, huh... this sword was finally forged. It is the most perfect work of my life, a sword with a real soul!"
"Wadiye, you must remember to find someone who can pull it out by himself to be its master. Only in this way can it truly recognize you and exert its strongest power."
"Then, pass the sword technique to him. With their help, we can definitely protect this country and keep it going."
As he spoke of this, Master Rudy's breath became weaker, but the smile on his lips never faded.
"It's a pity that I won't be able to see the day when it is unsheathed..."
Master Rudy's voice was as soft as a mosquito, his breath was as weak as a thread, and his eyes slowly closed, as if he was imagining the grand scene when the blade was unsheathed, until his last breath dissipated.
"Grandmaster!"
Wadiye opened his eyes wide and shouted loudly, but his shouts received no response. The old man who had devoted his entire life to casting had already passed away after leaving behind his last piece.
……
The old man died, and I was carried to a high place together with the stone. I saw all kinds of people, both men and women. They seemed to be trying to pull me out, but no one succeeded.
"Have you heard? That sword is actually a magic sword!"
"What nonsense! That is the result of Master Rudy's hard work. It is made of meteorite iron from outer space and rare treasures from various ethnic groups. It is an unparalleled sword!"
"What nonsense! Master Rudy died right after forging the sword. It must be because the sword absorbed all of Master Rudy's energy during the forging process. And haven't you heard that someone also suffered a great loss of energy and became seriously ill after drawing the sword?"
"I see, this is not a precious sword at all, but a magic sword! An ominous sword!"
……
My fame seems to be growing, although it's not a good one...
I was placed in a dark tower at the command of a woman holding a scepter. During this time, people kept trying to pull me out, but no one succeeded.
As a sword, I cannot feel the passage of time, but I can see that the man named Wadiye has grown from a young man to a respected adult.
The General, I heard them call him.
"Have you heard? The Queen was defeated. I didn't expect that evil bird to be so powerful that even Queen Nefertina, who rules over all beasts, couldn't defeat it."
The two soldiers guarding outside this level of the black tower were chatting.
"Yes, but isn't there a prophecy that says a hero will come to help us defeat evil?"
"Forget about it. The so-called hero is just a lie to children. Apart from anything else, the hero is said to be able to pull out this sword? Do you think anyone can do it?"
"Everyone in the kingdom has tried, but even Lord Wadiye couldn't pull out this ominous sword. Do you think anyone can?"
……
Hero, can you pull me out?
I don't know, but I know that a long time passed after that, but no one pulled me out.
The whole country is getting hotter and hotter, and I can clearly feel the impact of water shortage on them. The earth is thirsty, the sun is bright in the sky, and people are tired, numb and listless.
But I can't do anything, I'm just a sword...
After that, I fell into a deep sleep. When I woke up, the country seemed to be much more dilapidated, but fortunately, the water shortage crisis had been overcome. It was said that they signed a contract with an unknown existence in exchange for powerful power...
But now, they seemed to be in bigger trouble. No one paid attention to me anymore. I was placed in the corner of the black tower like a broken stone, watching them transform the tower bit by bit.
A bronze gate was built, seemingly to seal something, and I became the only key.
Everyone is busy. The man who always likes to come here and call me Master Rudy hasn't been here for a long time. They seem to be preparing for a... war!
I want to go out, too. I am a sword that should appear on the battlefield! I should kill the enemy with my sharp edge, and not wait here to rust and decay, and be forgotten!
But I need to find someone, someone who can pull me up.
My sword bearer!
"Close the door, close the tower!"
I heard someone say this and the general was standing in the crowd, and that was the last time I saw him.
I don’t know how long it took, I watched the sun set and rise countless times through the palm-sized window, the noise in my ears gradually faded, until one day, darkness fell...
I don't know what happened during that time, but I never saw anyone from the Desert Kingdom again.
The desert kingdom... is gone!
Totally gone!
I don't understand why, as a sword, I have never really unsheathed it and sharpened it.
I don't understand why, after such a long time, I still can't wait for my sword bearer.
I don’t understand why this once prosperous desert country disappeared into the sand in the blink of an eye.
I don't know!
Sometimes I think, if there really is a brave man who draws the sword, we can definitely kill the evil bird, save the entire kingdom, defeat the enemy in the war, and let the kingdom... continue!
But I can't do anything, I'm just a sword...
The long period of time gave me intelligence, and I successfully left the stone of confinement, even though no one had pulled it out, and even though the man with the sword had not been found.
until one day……
The dark tower was opened again, and a human came here. He was the first human I had seen in such a long time...
……
Lin Shi's whole body was emitting a faint golden light, his hair was moving without wind, and waves of light were transmitted from his arms into the body of the Shield Sword Monster, making the golden and red sword edge become sharper and sharper.
"bass!"
The Shieldsword Monster's closed eye suddenly opened, and the golden light pierced through the darkness like a substance. The sharp sound of the sword resounded within the flower like the roar of a tiger or a dragon.
Now, it has been found!
It finally found the brave man! The man with the sword!
This time, it will use its sword to cut off all obstacles before it.
This time, it is no longer an ominous sword!
"Shield Sword Monster, come on."
Lin Shi held the sword horizontally in front of him and swung it at the altar in the distance with all his strength.
Man and sword become one, no enemy can be defeated without interruption!
"Star-breaking Sword!"
Now I can do something, as a sword!
