Clop, clop

Theo headed to the Chalon family's treasure vault along with Maximin.

'It seems the Chalon family's treasure vault is underground, as expected.'

It was the same as in the game.

While descending the stairs, which had magic lamps attached to the walls here and there, Maximin asked,

"Theo, I didn't know you were so filled with a thirst for knowledge."

"An unending desire for knowledge is what truly allows a person to grow, don't you think, Lord Demon Hunter. It's also something that Lord Odius once said."

"I thought since you brought other people along, we would all be viewing the treasure vault together."VịSit no(v)3lb/!n(.)com for new novels

"There's something I want to see by myself."

"That sounds good. What is it?"

"It wouldn't be fun if I told you upfront. Guessing what it might be is part of the fun."

"Hahahaha. Alright, I'll try to guess."

As Theo and Maximin chatted away, they eventually arrived in front of the treasure vault.

"Welcome, Lord of the House!"

The treasure vault's custodian, who had been sitting down, sprang up and bowed to Maximin.

Maximin nodded in response.

"So, everything's alright?"

"Yes, nothing to report! Is this the young master who's here to visit the treasure vault?"

"Yes, that's right. We'll see it now."

"Understood!"

The custodian took out a key from his pocket, unlocked the treasure vault door, and pushed it open.

Creeeak

The door to the treasure vault opened with a heavy sound.

Maximin said,

"Let's go in."

"Understood."

Theo followed Maximin into the treasure vault.

I looked around the interior of the treasure vault with a calm gaze.

A variety of artifacts worthy of the greatest heroes were carefully stored here.

Weapons in their weapon racks, armors on their stands, and accessories in their designated spots everything was organized by category, making it easy to scan the interior quickly.

Hmm. Not much different from the game.

The interior of the Chalon Family's treasure vault was not much different from what I had seen in the game.

Artifacts that were missing here and there were likely borrowed by someone.

Maximin, standing by my side, said,

"Theo, you're quite remarkable in a way. Facing so many treasures, yet you're unfazed."

"Heart hot, head cold. It's an adage I always practice."

"Indeed, fitting of someone from the Hero Department. So, what do you think of the Chalon family's treasure vault?"

Maximin asked, looking expectant.

...Well, compared to the Waldeurk family's treasure vault, it's nothing special.

That's regarding 'this treasure vault' I'm in right now.

I bluntly stated,

"To be honest, it's nothing special."

"......Is that so"

I interrupted Maximin and continued,

"You wouldn't say this is all there is stored here, would you, Lord Demon Hunter?"

'I thought he was a safety-first type...... Maybe not. It's confusing.'

It seemed sincere.

Especially since the boy also revealed his own major weakness, suggesting that 'the head of the Waldeurk family might have been bought by them.'

Maximin said,

"So, Theo. To summarize your words, you're saying you would pay any price to confront them, even if it means looking at the object in the Chalon family's true treasure vault and losing your mind in the process?"

The boy answered immediately.

"Yes, that's correct, Lord Maximin."

The boy's eyes were resolute.

With a voice that did not tremble in the slightest, the boy continued,

"Moreover, it's not certain that one would go mad, is it? I simply have to overcome and move on. If there's even a slight chance, I believe it must be done."

"......Is that so."

Murmuring this, Maximin quickly turned his back on Theo.

Despite the situation where his father was bought by a force that is evil itself, he had a proactive attitude about doing what he needs to do.

Seeing his calm demeanor, Maximin felt a pang in his heart for some reason.

Regaining his composure, Maximin looked at Theo and said,

"Alright. I'll show you the true treasure vault of the Chalon family."

"Thank you, Lord Maximin."

"But, make me a promise. Whatever you see there, you must not speak of it to anyone. As far as anyone is concerned, you've never been there."

"Of course."

"Before we go, put on all these psychic protection artifacts over there. They'll protect your mind, albeit weakly, from the items resting there."

"Understood."

Theo immediately put on all the psychic protection artifacts that Maximin pointed to.

"All equipped."

"......Then let's go immediately."

Theo followed Maximin down the stairs.

Plod, plod

Unlike before, where magic lamps were attached to the walls, the surroundings were now completely dark.

The entire space was filled with a sinister aura.

After continuously descending the stairs for more than 10 minutes,

"We've arrived."

The two arrived in front of the true treasure vault of the Chalon family.

Maximin said,

"......Let's go in."

Maximin pushed open the door of the treasure vault, filled with all sorts of magical inscriptions.

Unlike the general treasure vault, the number of artifacts in the true treasure vault was limited.

There were only five, and each artifact was sealed and bound with magical chains.

However, the presence of each artifact surpassed all the artifacts combined in the general treasure vault.

Theo's gaze was fixed on one in the center, towering.

It was a sword, nobly bound in the tangled chains.

"......Ah."

A divine object that burns all evil.

A myth-grade artifact not called by its true name, but referred to as 'that.'

It was the [Demon Sword].
