Chapter 198: Truth of the Solar Laws

--

"...yeah, so basically, that's the state of humans right now." Cedric concluded his explanation right here.

"So nothing much has changed, I see." The consciousness of the Law Communion Sword replied. "Well, that can't be helped, the legacy and the foundations of the Demon Race are way deeper than Humans."

Cedric was a bit stunned wh he heard those words. A hundred years passed since the last time that this thing had someone to talk to, yet ev after hearing what he had to say, the sword said that nothing much had changed for Humanity.

For creatures that are inexplicably drawn toward progress, this was bad, wasn't it? 0 years might not be much for this sword's consciousness but to Cedric as well as other ordinary humans out there, that is a long time.

"Thank you for telling me all this. You're a good child." The sword told him with a gtle voice. "Since you're able to arrive into this place, that means you hold a considerable amount of talt too. Master's rules cannot be defied after all."

"Master?" Cedric repeated. "May I know who this Elder is?"

"Master is Master." The sword replied, "This is embarrassing to admit but in truth, I actually don't know his name. All I know is that he created me and this place."

"Master is extremely strong, not combat-wise...I've never se him fight after all. But he did create many wonderful things, my siblings! Most of them are way stronger than me, but they all have died in battle. I don't know if there's any left of them out there since I'm not allowed to leave this place."

Cedric tried to recall his stock knowledge but surprisingly, he didn't find any related to the person the sword was talking about. The closest he could think of was the Lifestyle Guild's Leader, but that person was the Tech God. The Law Communion Sword shouldn't considered modern technology so it doesn't fit.

'Well, not everything is accessible to me anyway. Maybe the idtity of this Master is kept secret by the army.' Cedric concluded.

"I see." Cedric muttered out loud, "Anyways, what can I do here? I originally wanted to test out the functions of the Sword Communion Hall, you see."

"I know. Why don't you sit down and let me explain?" The sword replied, seeing Cedric sitting down, it let out a pleased hum before continuing: "The purpose of my creation was to raise impressive warriors."

"Back th, the war betwe Humans and Demons was intse and Humans were losing. Humans lost a lot of land that previously belonged to them, forcing them to this one contint. Humans survived only due to Acala's protection."

"The Purgatory is a protective dimsion that Acala created to prevt the Demon Race from completely descding here. However, Purgatory also weaked Humanity's connection with the Concept Laws but it's using the power of laws to fuel its existce."

"I was created to remedy that." The sword revealed. "I may look like a sword but in truth, I am but a mere medium for Concept Laws. I can channel the profundity of Laws to my body and express is here, allowing anybody who reaches this place to safely comprehd them in their rawest form."

"Close your eyes and spread out your sses. Don't be shy, it's only us here. Demons ar't aware of my or this place's existce."

Cedric felt that the sword was telling the truth so he unleashed his field of sses to the maximum.

'I see...so that how it is...' Cedric muttered inwardly. 'Just like the concept of 'Burning Heat', 'Solar Laws' is just a 'concept' of a much wider Concept Law; which is the Astral Laws - the Profundity of the Heavly Bodies.'

'The 『Aspect of the Sun』 is incomplete. It is created through the compilation of insights from my predecessors. Because Purgatory was using the might of the Concept Laws to fuel its existce, the previous sages didn't understand Astral Laws completely.'

'The Solar Laws I comprehded earlier barely ev scratched the surface. 'Astral Laws' are the real deal because the Sun is just a burning star. Within the vast cosmos...it is but an obscely large fireball, nothing more.'

'The things I comprehded just now already surpassed what the previous sage comprehded about the Sun. It feels wrong to say this but the 『Aspect of the Sun』 becomes rather useless to me because it is incomplete.'

Cedric wore a helpless expression once his thoughts reached this point.

'But I'm rather reluctant to leave like that. After all, I adopted it as my Sagely Totem. Since others couldn't complete it, I shall do it. After all, I'm treading this path anyway.'

'Not only would I be completing it, I would ev improve it. Because if I couldn't ev do that, th ar't I just a failure th?'

'Just as well, I am a Master Scribe. Upgrading this sigil shouldn't be too difficult for me. But I will need time.'

Cedric released a deep breath as he returned his atttion to the prest.

"I think I've had ough. The insights I received will keep me busy for a while, I may not show up for a few days...or weeks ev." Cedric said to the sword.

"Oh, don't worry about me child." The sword replied, "Loneliness is an old frid of mine, I'm used to it."

"Will I be arriving here each time I ter the Sword Communion Hall?" Cedric asked.

"Depds on what you want." The sword stated, "You were pulled in here for the first time for introductions, it wouldn't be like that for the second time. You will know how to choose the next time you ter. It's up to you if you want to be down there or here with me. But obviously, I'd recommd coming here. After all, here is the real deal."

"I see, thank you for telling me that. How should I leave?"

"Will yourself to exit, Child. It shouldn't be too hard."

"I guess, I'll see later th."

"Mn, see you. Be careful and work hard."

Just like that, Cedric willed himself to exit the realm.
