Chapter 36 (1/2)

Fifteen years ago, the Sword King was just a junior member of the team.

During a mission, however, his team encountered a magic sword.

Apophis!

This was the strange form of the magic sword.

Killing, cutting, and drinking human blood improved the sword’s strength.

On that day, all the members died on the spot.

The captain had used his own life and Apophis to self-destruct in an attempt to defeat the magic swordfish.

However, the shocking thing was that the captain died on the spot but Apophis was still on his last breath.

The trembling Sword King in the corner instantly stopped trembling.

His heartbeat suddenly became very intense.

He knew that this was an opportunity for him!

It was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity that was hard to come by!

Therefore, the Sword King seized the opportunity.

“Apophis, although I’m weak, I can take your life at any time now.

“Even if I kill you, I can still get a big reward.

“But, I’d like to discuss a business deal with you.”

The Sword King’s voice could not hide his trembling, but he still said it clearly, word by word.

Apophis had a terrifying skull on the hilt of his sword, and the green light in the skull’s eyes was flickering faintly.

Obviously, Apophis understood the Sword King’s intention.

Moreover, he also understood the current situation.

“I, Apophis, am willing to serve you as my Lord, submit to you, and never betray you.

“If the Lord dies, then I, too, will submit to death.”

After the oath was made, the trembling Sword King immediately accepted Apophis’s submission.

From then on, Apophis had changed his appearance and continued to exist in the world.

He became this huge simple and unadorned iron sword in the Sword King’s hands.

From then on, the Sword King rose to the top, and his strength increased by leaps and bounds.

His current position as the head of the Sarkos branch was more or less obtained with the help of Apophis.

Not only that, this was all obtained without using his final trump card.

If he could easily use this move in front of Rei, then he could definitely advance to B-class.

However, the price of this move was too great.

Unless it was absolutely necessary, he would not easily use it.

Today was the day that this move was absolutely necessary.

…

The sword released a tremendous power, causing even heaven and earth to change color.

The entire earth was trembling!

Everyone in Sarkos City saw this scene. A huge sword in the form of light descended from the sky and pierced straight into the dormitory building of Tensley University.

In an instant, everyone’s expression changed.

On the rooftop, the Sword King, who had aged ten years, held the huge sword in his hand and panted heavily.

[Fear points: +3,000.]

He looked at the unscathed scarecrow in front of him, and then at the branch member beside the scarecrow who had turned into ashes. His face was filled with shock.

“No, this is impossible!

“This is absolutely impossible!

“I know, this is an illusion! Watch me break it!”

However, the pendant on the Sword King’s chest did not react at all.

If the Sword King was really in an illusion, this necklace would help him break any illusion easily.

However, the necklace was just hanging quietly on his chest.

The Sword King saw this and slumped onto the ground dejectedly.

It was not an illusion.
