Chapter 52 (2/2)

“Yeah. The purple aura that was seen when you were attacking a while back.”

“Ah, that…”

He wasn’t aware as he was too engulfed into attacking, but now when he thought about it, he did infuse some Magi into it.

‘The physical transformation of mana. How does that work when the sword is infused with Magi?’

The other day, during the assassination, he had absorbed the aura and the life with the dark magic.

But, no matter how much one absorbs, it was useless when they didn’t know how to use it.

Luke, looking for the reason, got angry with the rebuke of Roger’s and put the Magi into the sword.

‘Aura got made by acting on the emotions?’

As with magic, the mind, specifically the will, was at work when a person creates or accomplishes something.

And that day was surely the same.

Somehow, the wish to defeat Rogers had transformed the Magi into aura.

“I can’t say if it is a finished form in terms of shape or concentration, but if you practice a bit, you’ll be a good expert.”

When Luke made no response, Rogers knew why he was flustered.

‘I thought he didn’t care about fencing…’

There was a lot of talk among the knights the recent days about Luke’s enormous interest in learning Magic from Mute.

It was fortunate that the young Lord was turning more reliable than before, but he wasn’t a wizard, or maybe he was neglecting the knights for the coming future.

They were proud of the family of Rakan, the brave warriors who established the outstanding standards of the knights.

And their master was going to be a wizard?

‘That will never be!’

Rogers had vowed to prevent that.

So, after completing the silver sword, he pulled out a number of spleens he wanted to teach.

“From today on, I’ll teach you, Gold Sword.”

“Gold, Gold sword?!”

Luke was shocked for a moment.

How can he ever ignore that?

The sword which pierced through his heart 500 years back, the Gold Sword of Rakan!

But suddenly something popped into his mind.

“The Gold Sword, isn’t it meant to be a family item?”

He knew about the greatness of the sword after waking up. As stated in the genealogy of the family, the principles of the family heirloom.

“Of course, it is. But 250 years ago, an exception had been placed.”

From generation to generation, the heirs of Rakan were short-lived.

In some cases, their bodies were so weak that some succumbed to death.

As a result, the heirs were troubled with the Gold Sword’s tradition, and 250 years ago, they finally came to a decision.

One of the ancestors feared that the family heirloom sword would cease to be taught to the future knights, and the knight general was to take a pledge not to unveil about it to anyone else.

‘Oh, my god!’

Somehow, despite the sudden death of the first lord, the retainers didn’t even worry about gold sword, and it was such a situation.

And Luke hadn’t known that, and that was why the Rakan viscount hadn’t been destroyed for the past 500 years, even in the hands of other knights.

The knights of the past who had learned the gold sword were deemed to be a strong supporter of the family with excellent skills.

“Would I become a Sword Emperor like Rakan or the ancestors if I learn the Gold Sword?”

“Well, that could be impossible. Because we lost the second half of the sword 400 years back. But you can be a swordmaster by learning with the other half.”

Seven of the Knights had become Sword Masters.

Rogers was in his early 40s, surpassing the top of the experts’ class.

‘But it is very strange that none of the ancestors had become Sword Masters. Was it because of the Devil king’s curse?’

Rogers shook his head along with his thoughts in his mind and continued to tell Luke about the Gold Sword.

Explaining the history and the main aspects of the gold sword had begun step by step.

“Gold Sword is basically more about mana flow than fencing. Be able to read the flow of mana hidden in the sword…”

At some point, Roger’s sword began to faintly glow with a golden radiance.

Luke clenched his fist without his knowledge.

He remembered the past when he was killed by the Gold Sword.

‘Sh*t! The one isn’t Rakan, and the Gold Sword is just another sword that I will master.’

Luke calmed his heart and looked closely. With frightening concentration, he began to absorb what Rogers was trying to describe.

‘The flow of mana is important? Yeah, don’t know but it can be easier to control the sword as I am a wizard.’

However, apart from that, because it was difficult to learn excellent swordsmanship, it would take quite some time.

Luke wasn’t nervous. And he decided to build up the skills one step after the other.
