[…] thank you really… .]

The banshee laughed. She seemed slightly teary-eyed at the topic of ghosts.

It’s not a real tear, it’s like a blurry afterglow.

[This is the first time both before and after death… To receive a gift like this.]

It was a cheap gift given on a whim, but I felt embarrassed because he seemed so grateful.

“And what is your name? “You probably have an original name too.”

It was strange that they kept calling me Banshee and Banshee.

I think we have no choice but to stay together for a while.

[…] … .]

The banshee was silent.

He looked like he was in trouble, so Chris said, “Oops.”

‘It’s a ghost, so you probably don’t want to think about the past.’

A ghost is a person whose resentment remains and cannot go to the afterlife.

The stronger the resentment, the more powerful the ghost becomes.

And the maid banshee in front of her was a high-ranking being among ghosts. What she said, in her words, means that she harbors a deep resentment.

[that… .]

“No, that’s enough. “What does your previous name matter?”

Chris quickly took care of it.

“You are now my subordinate, so I will give you a separate name.”

[name… Do you mean?]

“okay. Um, how about Marie?”

It was a meaningless name.

I just remembered that in my previous life, the maids I met in various mansions had a high probability of being named Marie.

‘So, the dog is Happy, the butler is Sebastian, the servant is Hanson, and the maid is Marie.’

Although it was such an insincere name, the banshee looked moved again.

[number of animals… number of animals… That’s a pretty name. Thank you, master.]

Without Chris realizing it, her title had changed.

From Master to Lord.

He truly acknowledged him as his master.

[With this grateful heart… from now on… Even more delicious virgin blood juice… I will make it and offer it to you.]

“… “I don’t drink virgin blood juice.”

[The strawberry juice you’ve been drinking so far… A virgin’s blood was mixed as a topping?]

“… “Can you please stop telling terrible jokes?”

Banshee, Marie laughed.

Chris got into the carriage with a dissatisfied face.

Now that she had done her business, it was time to return to the mansion.

‘however… I think I forgot something? what?’

Chris tilted his head at her.

* ? ?* ? ?*

“older brother!!!!!”

‘Ah.’ Chris realized what he had forgotten.

It was Tern.

The next day, he came to me with a red face and questioned me.

“Why did you leave me behind?!”

From what I’ve heard of him, it is said that he suffered tremendously.

He couldn’t even reveal his identity because he thought he couldn’t tarnish his family’s honor. He had no money, and when he was on the verge of being sold into slavery, someone happened to recognize him and he barely escaped.

He apologized, feeling slightly sorry.

“I’m sorry, I forgot.”

“W-what?”

“But you, the name is a little strange? Didn’t you bet yesterday? From now on, when you call me, you will call me ‘Respected King Emperor Majesty.’”

“… … !”

Chris spoke in the voice of a good older brother.

“Now, my dear brother. “Do you want to tell me?”

“… … .”

Tern’s tightly clenched fist trembled.

“Joe, respected brother.”

“exactly.”

“… Respected King Emperor Majesty.”

“Okay, come on! “I hope you will do well in the future with respect for this older brother.”

“!!”

Tern shouted with her red face.

“Well, someday I will show you my true worth! Be prepared!!”

Chris smiled as he watched Tern disappear as if running away.

‘Why is he so cute?’

I couldn’t believe that such a cute guy originally caused this body to die later in history.

‘Probably, it happened because of that guy Ashed.’

Chris lowered his gaze.

Ashed.

Family ancestry. and… Those who are against him.

In fact, Chris didn’t have much revenge on Ashed. Because he was not ‘Christian’.

but.

‘Still, I guess I’ll have to trample on it.’

It was someone he had to step on to achieve his goal.

‘For that to happen, the upcoming duel with Melin is important.’

No matter how genius he was, he couldn’t obtain Dark Maga by himself.

He needed people to help him.

Chris planned to make Melin his assistant through this duel.

‘In order to do that, I need to be able to use this Grunade.’

Chris looked at Grunade, who looked like an old antique.

‘The holy sword used by the fallen warrior.’

Grunade was a very special holy sword.

This is because it was used as a holy sword even after its owner, the warrior, sacrificed his soul to the devil and became corrupted.

In other words, this holy sword was a holy sword with a unique history that had been used by a demon.

‘That’s why so many demons targeted Grunade. The holy sword exerts the same power as a natural enemy against demons.’

Who is the main enemy of the demons?

Of course, it is the camp of light, the ‘Crusade Alliance’.

But fights with coalition guys don’t happen often.

The opponents that demons fight the most are among the same demons.

‘It is collectively referred to as the Magic Empire, but if you actually look inside, it is divided into several branches.’

At the very top is the Demon Emperor, the number one demon lord.

The territory ruled by the Demon Emperor is located in the center of the Demon Empire.

And there are four magic kingdoms in the east, west, south, and north.

Each of the four magic kingdoms is ruled by a different demon king, and the Dark Maga that Chris belongs to was part of the Southern Magic Kingdom.

‘Is it okay to say that the Demon Emperor is like an emperor, and the demon kings below are like kings of a kingdom that serves the emperor?’

For reference, the ‘Demon King of Blood and Blood’, who would later cause the Great Rebellion, was the ruler of the Eastern Dark Kingdom.

‘Not yet. She must be the grand princess of Blood Sword Mark by now.’

Mark the blood sword.

It was one of the 12 prestigious magic families and was a prestigious family affiliated with the Eastern Magic Kingdom.

The 12 prestigious sorcerous families were scattered across the four sorcerous kingdoms in the east, west, south, and north.

Anyway, as can be seen from this relationship, the demons fought with each other endlessly.

Therefore, the Holy Sword was a very desirable weapon even for demons.

This is because it is the easiest way to cause fatal injury to an opponent.

‘And there is also romance. The romance of subduing an unlucky holy sword.’

The holy sword is a symbol of a warrior.

How exhilarating would it be to defeat such a holy sword?

So many Majins challenged Grunade to submit.

‘But they all failed.’

It was because of a rejection reaction.

The moment Majin grabbed the holy sword, Holy Sword Grunade, who felt the demonic energy, reacted violently in rejection.

The only demon who could handle the Holy Sword Grunade was the fallen hero who was her original owner.

Therefore, the Holy Sword Grunade became a treasure trove that no one looked for, and it became an antique and ended up in the hands of Grantel, the merchant lord.

“Would you like to take a look? “What about me?”

Chris grabbed the holy sword Grunade.

It’s still okay.

This was because the strong binding sphere that sealed its holy power was suppressing the power of Grunade.

However, in this case, the holy sword cannot exert any power.

She released the restraining sphere.

OK,

“!!”

Puzzle!

I felt a burning sensation as if I had grabbed her heated iron with my bare hand, so I quickly let go of her hand.

He rejected Chris’ magic.

Fortunately, she avoided burns, but if she had been a little late, her hand would have melted.

‘It doesn’t work either.’

But Chris was unfazed.

He had expected it.

Nevertheless, the reason he saved the holy sword was because he was confident in handling it.

“Even if you call it a holy sword, it is ultimately just a weapon. “An artifact engraved with magic that allows the use of ‘Bright Mana,’ the holy power.”

The meaning of those words was clear.

If we analyze the principle of the artifact engraved on the holy sword that causes a rejection reaction to demonic energy, we can find out the blind spots of the holy sword.

Of course, it’s theoretically possible, but no one has dared to try it.

There were many reasons.

Even if the holy sword’s blind spot is found, there is no possibility that it is a convenient blind spot that anyone can use.

Even if there is, it will be a tiny gap like a needle hole. If you miss a split second, you could fail.

Also, it was dangerous.

Even if you make a slight mistake, the holy sword will immediately burn the user’s body.

But Chris thought.

‘There is definitely a loophole in this holy sword. So, even fallen heroes could use it. ‘You have to figure out that blind spot.’

And I had a feeling.

‘For some reason, it seems like it will work.’

His intuition was very accurate.

Chris took something out of the bag he got from the castle.

It was an artifact hammer filled with magical energy.

Chris raised the hammer and struck it straight at the holy sword.

Cough!

There was a loud noise, and the holy sword crackled and holy power stirred.

Chris engraved that shape in his mind, or more precisely, the pattern of the mana circuit that manifests holy power in response to magical energy, and then repeated the same action.

Cough! Kyaang!!

The hammer struck the holy sword mercilessly.

Each time, the holy sword crackled with holy power as if in defiance. He seemed to be telling me to stop.

‘Nope?’

In the end, the hammer could not withstand the force and broke apart.

He cracked his holy sword as if asking what it was like. It almost seemed like he was showing off.

But Chris chuckled.

When he opened the bag, magic tools fell out.

Saws, knives, chisels, hammers, furnaces, etc. There were countless.

They were all magic tools containing magical energy for the purpose of striking and defeating holy swords.

Is it a feeling?

It seemed as if the Holy Sword was silent.

“Then let’s do it right.”

Chris said sarcastically.

“If you don’t like it, you can quickly give in to me.”

* ? ?* ? ?*

How many days has passed?

Chris stayed in his room all day and tormented the Holy Sword.

If the Holy Sword had an ego, it was a cruel(?) bully who would have begged to do whatever he was told.

‘Well, it’s not easy.’

Chris crossed his arms as he looked at the numerous magical tools shattered next to the holy sword.

After all, a holy sword is a holy sword?

Even Chris found it difficult to figure out the Holy Sword’s artifact pattern.

but.

“But, I understand.”

Chris grinned.

He figured out the holy sword’s blind spot?!

It was an amazing story.

‘It was possible because the holy sword was broken. Several security spells were damaged.’

Otherwise, even Chris wouldn’t have been able to do it in such a short period of time.

‘The problem is using this blind spot to manipulate the holy sword.’

Question here.

Indeed, did the Mines who previously challenged Grunade fail to find the blind spot that Chris had identified?

That probably isn’t it.

Nevertheless, the reason it failed to subdue Grunade was because it was impossible to exploit that blind spot.

‘There is no way that a holy sword made by a constellation could have been designed so easily.’

Chris faced the same challenge.

but.

“I think I can do it?”

It was an unbelievable story.

Demons of enormous stature would have challenged Grunade.

But is it possible for all of those magicians to fail?

‘It would be impossible for even a high-ranking Majin to handle Grunade, but I can.’

Let’s be clear.

Only Chris could do it.

‘This holy sword is for me.’

That was the moment I thought about it.

The door opened.

“Are you ready?”

A woman smiling brightly.

“The promised time has come, Master.”

Melin’s blue eyes were sparkling with anticipation.
