Chapter 196: Yokai Sword (2)

Eunuch?

How absurd!

Who was she calling a eunuch just because I was resisting her temptations?

I was angry to the point that I had difficulty calming myself down. The exquisite beauty looked at me at that moment and clicked her tongue.

-It doesn’t matter. All men in the world are slaves to my body.

‘Slaves?’

Her behavior quickly changed from seductive. Her dream-like voice from just moments ago had disappeared completely.

‘Uh?’

The beauty then began to transform. Her hair began to turn white before fully becoming white. Where she was once a beauty, she was not an arrogant, cold queen.

She held out her hand and said.

-Succumb to me.

A strange light shone through her eyes. The moment I saw this, goosebumps ran down my body.

Through the hand holding the sword’s sheath, an intimidating type of qi began to coarse through my body.

‘Ah!’

I had experienced this before.

This was almost the same phenomenon as when the Blood Demon Sword’s anger had tried to control my body. It seemed that this Yokai Sword also had its own grudge.

-You won’t be able to withstand this. Human

The Blood Demon Sword’s voice echoed through my head. Why did I feel I was about to experience something I’d gone through, but twice in intensity?

-Submit to me.

The beauty lowered her hand as if ordering me to kneel.

The strange qi tried to penetrate my body and seize control. However, I still had my innate qi.

Wooong!

This innate qi, which can also be called my life force, pushed the anger-filled qi back and caused the beauty to frown.

-You are quite strong. Did you manage to deal with that?

The odd qi grew in intensity.

This Yokai Sword’s qi was also quite unusual. It was intense to the point that most people would likely collapse from it.

-Get down on your knees and offer your blood to the sword.

‘... nonsense.’

This was morbidly amusing to me as I opened my upper dantian. A change then began to appear inside my body.

Seeing this, the beauty’s eyes shook.

-You...

Once I used the Blood Arts, qi in the shade of blood began to rise from all over my body. Although the sword’s will was quite strong, the combination of my innate qi and Blood Sura Arts surpassed it.

The beauty was visibly shocked.

-You are the owner of the Blood Demon Sword!

She seemed to have noticed the change. It seemed that Blood Demon Sword’s fame was great enough. When one considered it through the facet of a will that was filled with grudges, then one would know.

Blood Demon Sword simply laughed.

-What kind of owner is this? I have simply accepted this man as a subordinate. It’s too late to realize it, True Evil Sword.

The True Evil Sword?

The true identity of the sword was revealed.

Who would have thought the Blood Demon Sword knew of this sword? However, since the other swords didn’t see her, how was Blood Demon Sword able to?

-Damned things!

Prrr!

The blade of the True Evil Sword began to tremble.

It was as if she wanted to escape from my hands. It seemed that things were becoming difficult for her, but what should I do?

‘You will become mine.’

I needed to absorb her will. The Big Dipper’s fourth dot on the back of my hand then began to shift from red into blue.

Her beautiful face then began to contort.

-Ackkkk!

[Even flames could be controlled if the reasons were correct. The Heavenly Authority has been opened.]

This was the power of the Heavenly Authority.

The beautiful figure began to fade and turned purple.

The will was gradually revealed.

-NOOOOOO!

A scream filled the air.

The light of the Heavenly Authority grew stronger. A purple and white whirlwind was then absorbed into the dot on the back of my hand.

As it was absorbed, countless memories filled my mind.

Such memories.

“Doesn’t that mean you have solved everything?”

“Yes.”

“As expected, you are worthy of being the miracle-making leader of the Blood Sect. If you weren’t a warrior, I would have taken you under my wing and cared for you.”

“That is too much, Your Highness.”

“We made a promise, so I will keep it. Now, give me the sword.”

The man held his hand out, but I shook my head.

“I did manage to resolve the grudge within this sword, but the sword itself is dangerous for people to hold.”

This made him frown.

“I have no idea what you are talking about.”

“These swords are Yokai Swords because they choose their own masters. It would be dangerous for those who don’t get selected to hold them.”

Blood Demon Sword would use blood to tear apart your body. Since they were called Yokai Swords, I wasn’t sure how much impact they would have on others.

The prince frowned and called to his subordinate.

“Examine this sword.”

“Yes, your highness.”

The subordinate who approached me then took up the sword. The moment he held it, his body began to shake.

“Ughhhh.”

Prince Kyung was shocked as he stepped back.

“What is this?”

“The sword is rejecting him.”

The subordinate’s eyes became blank at that moment, and he put his tongue out. We wondered why briefly, but then he began to lick the blade repeatedly.

With enthusiastic sincerity.

‘....!?’

The prince and I were both shocked at this sight.

I remembered the words of the True Evil Sword.

‘Hehehe. You don’t know men. Men are slaves to be easily manipulated. If I touch you lightly, then your mind will....’

Just the thought of it made me shudder.

Short Sword was also clicking her tongue.

It was truly ghastly how it manipulated someone who wasn’t its master to do such a dirty thing.

“Lee Byuk! What are you doing!?”

The prince shouted at his subordinate.

At that moment, the licking subordinate suddenly turned the sword upside down and pointed the tip at himself.

“Stop!”

Despite the prince’s cry, the man stabbed himself in the chest, but the sword did not penetrate through. This was because I held the tip of the sword with my fingers.

Pak!

“Euk!”

I shoved Lee Byuk with my wrist, causing him to drop the sword.

As soon as the sword fell, Lee Byuk came to his senses and looked puzzled.

“Your Highness, this is?”

“Do you not remember anything?”

“I-I don’t.”

“This monster...”

The prince looked shocked at this, his expression clearly saying he had had enough.

I picked up the fallen sword and held it towards the reluctant prince.

“Put that away.”

“Didn’t you say you wanted the sword?”

“I don’t want it that close to me.”

He must have had a hard time seeing what the sword did and told me with a shake of his head.

“Looks like the Yokai Sword chose you as its master.”

“No. I suppressed its resentment, so you don’t have to worry about that.”

But he shook his head.

“No. Didn’t you say it has its own will? It means the sword doesn’t harm those recognized as its master.”

“Your Highness...”

Please don’t do this. This was a sword that I didn’t want to acknowledge.

Not knowing this, he continued.

“I have seen all that I needed to see from the sword, so I will give it to you as a token.”

‘...!!’

It felt as if lightning had hit me.
