Chapter 343
Kiara asks back. Is it a request? In other words did you come to this dungeon at the request of someone? But who?
“Well if it’s Kiara and her friends, It’s god!”
“What?” Kiara asks in disbelief. Apparently even Kiara can’t agree to those words. As if that was funny, Asura chuckled and continued to say more.
“Kukuku, Apparently, the gods have a peculiar obsession with divine swords.They are supposedly always being watched.”Alll latest novels at novelhall.com
It is possible that depending on how the divine swords are used, they could become more dangerous than evil gods. That could be why they’re being monitored.
“And if something goes wrong, he’ll send the oracle flying.Well, I guess it’s just a matter of time before you start using it.”
“Does that mean that you are commanded by God to do some kind of mission?”
“No it’s not something that big. This time it’s just a one way trip to the location of this place”
“Then, is it an order?”
God is sending me information about the place directly as if he wants me to go there, so it certainly seems like an order just like Mea says. But apparently, that’s not the case.
”I’ve only ever received a proper order twice now. Besides, I’ve ignored your request a few times in the past, but I haven’t been accused of anything before.”
“Y- You ignored him! The oracle!”
”Well, I was in the middle of some important work that I couldn’t take off otherwise. But they didn’t punish you, so I guess that means they’re not angry.”
You’re a brave man. Even if it wasn’t an order, it’s a request from God that you ignored. Even Kiara looks anxious as she listens back.
That’s unusual for someone from this world. No, now that I think about it, I’m being made to struggle with a skill I don’t want, so maybe I’m taking a surprisingly slanted view of God.
“Is it really that there is no punishment? Isn’t it simply that there is no punishment yet to be meted out?”
Well, it does make sense, somewhat. For example, if you compare a person to a bug, their perceived value of time would be completely different. I guess the same thing can be said of God and man.
“But then again, maybe Earthers just haven’t been punished yet?”
“Hahaha! It’s okay. After all, I checked directly with God’s apostle!”
“What? You’ve seen the apostle of God?”
“Yeah, I met him twice when he came to tell me his command. It’s no wonder when God commands them the Apostle will come down. I asked him if he was okay with me ignoring him, and he said he was okay with it.”
“But why would he give you such a vague oracle that he doesn’t mind being ignored?”
“I don’t know. I don’t get it either............ The Apostle says it’s a personal thing, you know what I mean?”
“What do you mean?”
Asura tells his conjecture, based on what he heard from God’s apostle. Apparently, the gods will leave it at that if it’s some kind of incident. However, when evil people are involved, they’ll get involved.
It’s not something we absolutely have to fix, but if we can get our hands on it, let’s do it. Anyway that’s where the Divine Swordsman comes in. In addition to regularly monitoring them, it was easy for them to immediately send down oracles through the Divine Sword. In other words, it seemed that the idea was to use it as a surveillance tool as well as a communication tool.
“Well, as I said before, the gods are leisurely. Wouldn’t it have taken decades just to find someone near the place where the incident is likely to happen who could receive the oracle and solve the case and give the oracle? That’s why I thought I’d make a divine swordsman who can be contacted immediately.”
It takes 50 years for God to punish you. If that’s the case, it might even take decades to make the oracle.
“This time around, it seemed like there was a dungeon involved. I figured I’d make a move.”
“Hey Mea, have you ever received an ordainment, too?”
“An ordainment? No, I haven’t. Perhaps I am not yet recognized as the true owner. Not from the sword, not from God.”
I see...He looked surprised to hear the story, so it bothered me a bit.
Well, it seems like he still hasn’t been able to unleash the true power of the Divine Sword, so I guess that’s why.
(I will be there for you......)
