93 - The Brave Makes the Sword of God

In a Dwarven hideaway.

I made a sword for my brother in the house of Gandor the Elder.

The story is told a few minutes later.

Outside the village.

Me, Gaius, and Gandor the Dwarf are all here.

"Let's see what you can do, brother."

Gaius, the younger brother, says excitedly.

At his waist are two swords.

"Oh. But first, we need to give him a name.

"Name?　What kind?"

That's the name of those two swords.

"It's a Warriors' Sword, right?"

"That's the nickname Gandor gave you, right?　He's going to be your partner, so you're going to have to give him something cool."

My words, however, Gaius did not seem to understand.

"What's the point of that?　A sword is a tool, right?"

"Even if it's a tool, it's your partner to whom you will entrust your life. You need a name to take good care of him, don't you?

"I don't need that. As long as you can use it, that's all that matters. ...... Well, here we go!"

Gaius grips the hilt of his twin swords.

Then, in one motion, he pulls them out.

Sharan ......!

"Amazing!　I knew your sword was the best!　Look how light ...... is."

And that's when it happened.

Shhhh!

"Huh?　Kyu, suddenly heavy ......"

Gaius' forehead is sweating.

The muscles in his arms rise.

"Why did it get so heavy and I can't ...... hold it? Gaaaahhhh!"

Zushiiiiiiiiiiiiiin ......!

The two swords plunged deep into the ground.

"Ze ......!　Huh ......!　Even if I strengthened my arms with some funny forbidden arts, I couldn't hold it because it was too heavy. ...... Why in the world?"

That's when it happened.

.

"Who are you?　Enemy?

<

Gaius looks around.

I approach the twin swords and say.

"Calm down, brother. It's the twin swords that are talking."

A man's voice echoes directly into his brain.

Gaius rolls his eyes.

"No...... sword, how can it talk?"

"Of course it is."

Gandor, who had been standing next to me watching the whole thing, nodded deeply.

"Since ancient times, things have had a will of their own. Julius, the greatest blacksmith of all, struck this sword with all his heart. It is only natural that it should have an ego. You are a master, Julius."

Hearing the words of the weaponsmith, Gaius seemed to be satisfied.

"I didn't know that tools could talk. ......"

>

"Nah!　You're a tool, but you're a big man!"

<

"Disgusting sword!　Who do you think you look like?

Somewhat.

"Well, well, well, Gaius. And you can't be that angry, can you?

Gaius mutters hatefully.

"My brother made me the best sword ever, but I don't like him because he has the worst personality."

<>.

Well, it seems that both of them don't like each other.

<<< Creator. Will you be my master?　This thing cannot use me.

"What?　You've got to be kidding me!　I can use you just fine!"

<<

Gaius nods and grips the hilt of his twin swords.

"Hmph!　Hmphhhhhh!"

No matter how hard he poured all his strength into it, the twin swords did not move at all.

"It's no use. Gaius! You won't be able to pull it out even if you tried for the rest of your life.

"Why not?　Fuguuuuuuuuuuu!"

Gandor says with a sigh.

"You think that people choose their weapons, don't you?"

"Of course!　Weapons are tools!　It can't start without someone to use it!　Isn't that right!"

"Good heavens, Julius! For a brother of such an outstanding man as yourself, Gaius is still a work in progress."

"That's why there's so much room for growth."

I'm going to approach Gaius.

I create a towel and hand it to him.

"Take a break. Wipe off the sweat. You'll catch a cold.

A blizzard is raging outside the village.

Gaius meekly accepted the gift and wiped off his sweat.

"Hey, let me try a few things, will you?"

I ask permission from Musouken and then touch it.

Shallan!

"No way. ...... I can't believe how easily the twin swords that didn't give me any grief pulled out of my body. ......"

In both hands are a ruby sword and a sapphire sword.

"A beautiful sword. And strong as well."

I hold up my twin swords and swing them lightly.

I swing the red sword, and a storm of flames erupts.

Do not be defeated by this blizzard, it will scorch the surrounding snow and the heavens.

He swung his blue sword and everything froze.

The fire is icy, as if time has been stopped.

It was a beautiful pillar of ice, stretching to the heavens.

I continue to do sword dances on the spot.

When I thrust, a dragon of fire dances. When I cut down, the ground turns to eternal frost.

This village, surrounded by ice and snow, goes through summer and winter over and over again.

The fire blazes the sky and scatters snow clouds, and the ice also creates snowstorms all around.

After a while.

"Well, that's about right. Thank you for your time. It was a good sword.

<

I sheathe my twin swords.

""............""

Gandor and his brother fell on their butts and looked stunned.

"What's wrong, you two?"

"No,...... your brother's sword dance was too much,......"

"A sword that can manipulate the weather with a light swing. A sword worthy of the name "Warriors' Sword!"

"What are you talking about?　This is only a part of its hidden power.

""What?""

He says to Musouken, despite their astonishment.

This sword has the power to evolve along with its wielder. Gaius, this is the perfect sword for you.

"Hey, how do you ...... know that?"

"Well, if you hold a weapon, you can see its potential, can't you?"

"I can't see!"

Gandor says with a mysterious look on his face, despite Gaius' indignation.

"A master arms craftsman can know the hidden performance of a finished weapon. It is common sense. That's Julius."

"Is that so ......?　Is that what it is?　I don't know what it is anymore. ...... What is common sense?"

On the other hand, Musouken says in a bouncy voice

>

"Yeah, you're Gaius, right?"

"...... It doesn't matter. You put it on. I'd prefer it that way."

My brother leaves it to me, so I think about it for a while and say.

"Well, [Saber]. You're [Saber] the Warriors Sword Saber."

That's when it happened.

Crap. ......!

The Warriors Sword suddenly emitted a divine light.

The light soon took the form of a man.

A moment later.

"I can't believe ...... that a sword can become a human being!

There he was, Saber, the Warriors Sword Saber.

He had become a tall, handsome man.

He is dressed in a butler's uniform.

His long hair was amethyst-colored.

His left and right eyes were red and blue odd eyes.

"Oh, my God!　The sword has attained divinity!

Gandor was astonished and sat up again.

"What the ...... is going on?"

"The sword evolved its existence because a higher being called Julius gave it a name. The current Musou Sword is imbued with the chi of a god. In other words, he is the ...... god of swords.

The younger brother turns his eyes and exclaims.

"You can't create a god!　What the hell, that's a cheat!　It's too cheat!"

You all seem to be overjoyed at the mere mention of the name.

"My Creator."

Saber kneels before me and takes my hand.

He kisses the back of my hand.

"My allegiance is to you. This body, this soul belongs to you."

"Screw you!"

Gaius snapped and tried to kick Saber.

But Saber dodges him easily and says with a cool look on her face.

"You are a rude man, aren't you? If you weren't Julius' brother, I would have cut you down, wouldn't I?

"Shut up!　Don't kiss my brother without permission!　You're a sword!　You're a tool!"

You really are an idiot. Do you need an education?

I'll take it!　Come and get it!"

Saber and Gaius start battling without us.

"Yeah, it's good to see them getting along."

""Not good!""
