chapter 26

[Remember! Don’t act reckless while I’m away, okay?]

[I know, I know… . . ]

It’s the day after enjoying the dragon ride with Sharon and Theta . Sharon had decided to return to the Roxietta Territory .

Thinking about yesterday……Ares was on the verge of laughing out loud .

It was a fairly chaotic day . Looking at those two for some reason forced themselves to look like they are getting along well was rather exhausting . Wonder why… . .

Although the two seemed like they were having fun, Ares felt like his spirit had been worn down to the limit .

[Hey! Are you listening? Ares really is… . ]

[Ahー, I’ll just go already . I’m wasting time here… . ]

Sharon’s mood seemed to have brightened somewhat . Ares looked at Sharon who’d just given a long lecture to him, and let out a small giggle .

[Hey! Why are you giggling like that?]

[No, I’m not giggling… . ]

Back at her home, apparently Sharon is organizing her own knight brigade . It’s an all-women group . She said that she modeled it after the Empire’s [Rose Knight Brigade] .

Sharon graduated as the top ranker of the Royal Academy’s Knight course . She’s backed by sufficient skill, so a knight brigade organized personally by her should be interesting to see .

[I’ll definitely make Ares surprised! Please look forward for it]

And so, Sharon returned back to her clan’s territory .

With Theta standing next to him calmly, Ares couldn’t help but to feel wary when he shook Sharon’s hand… . .

After bidding his farewell with Sharon, Ares headed to the wasteland just outside Romaria with Sigurd . It’s been his routine to train swordsmanship there .

[Shall we begin?]

Saying that, Ares drew his training sword .

[Please don’t hold back . ]

In contrast, Sigurd held a training spear .

In contrast, Sigurd held a training spear .

[Of course . I can’t afford to hold back when fighting you anymore after all… . ]

That said, Ares entered a stance . So did Sigurd .

And a moment later, the two clashed .

Once, twice, thrice… . impact noises erupted each time the two weapons met each other .

It went on for a while… . . until after the nth clash, Ares’ training sword broke starting from the base .

[Uーn, I guess this is it?]

Both sides were breathing heavily .

[As expected of Sigurd . I couldn’t get even one hit in . ]

[That’s my line . Ares-sama too . Has milord finally reached the required physical strength to draw out most of the power of the Sword Saint’s technique?]

[No, not even close . With my current strength, I still won’t be able to defeat Demon Lord Gargain who Oldeus had vanquished in the past . ]

Saying that, Ares put his hand on the pendant hanging on his neck .

[I was scolded by Shin in my dream yesterday . I’m still immature . I need to fight against more varied opponents and only that way I will be able to master the 『Seven Heavenly Swords』, he said . ]

[I was scolded by Shin in my dream yesterday . I’m still immature . I need to fight against more varied opponents and only that way I will be able to master the 『Seven Heavenly Swords』, he said . ]

Ares then muttered to himself quietly .

[It’s true that I was able to use『Holy Sword Excalibur』after training with Sigurd . Perhaps, if I fight another powerful opponent, a new sword that suits the situation will emerge . ]

With that he took out the『Seven Heavenly Sword』and grasped it in his palm .

[This is a holy sword . An evil breaking sword of the braves which will light up the world . ]

While saying so, a brilliant silver blade appeared on Ares’ palm .

[Holy Sword Excalibur!]

Materializing Excalibur, Ares confirmed the sword and as his body felt like it became lighter, he turned toward Sigurd .

[『Divine Sword Oldeus』’ ability is the『Invisible Slash』 . While『Holy Sword Excalibur』’s ability is『Body Strengthening』 . First of all, I have to familiarize myself with these two . ]

Sigurd responded to that .

[It’s important to not rush anything . Milord will eventually master them all . Until then, we can only do our best in training and learning . ]

Right afterward, Sigurd approached while spinning a different spear . At the same time, an enormous amount of magical power coursed through his body .

『Dragon Spear Gaebolg』

Right afterward, Sigurd approached while spinning a different spear . At the same time, an enormous amount of magical power coursed through his body .

『Dragon Spear Gaebolg』

An ancient weapon that is said to hold the power of an ancient dragon . Sigurd’s beloved weapon .

[Now then, is milord ready for a second round? There is something I’d like to try]

[Yosh, both sides’ preparation is completed… . . shall we get serious this time?]

And the training went on just like that… .

Seven Heavenly Swords .

The weapon that the sword saint Shin Oldeus used; that was the [Seven Heavenly Swords] .

He mostly used [Divine Sword Oldeus] during his lifetime, thus that was the only known sword among the seven in the history .

The original form was actually just a sword handle, with various swords appearing from it depending on the opponent and situation . There are seven swords, which is why Oldeus called this weapon『Seven Heavenly Swords』

It remains unknown how Ares Schwarzer managed to get his hand on this weapon .
