1 Second Sword Master Episode 39

“What, what is it…”

what the hell?!

“How did you know?”

Raphael stared blankly at Aslan, who fluttered his cloak in the distance and disappeared.

“Is my transformation art crude?”

No way.

Until now, no one had noticed her transformation.

just one person.

There is none other than the queen of the elves, Eltihi.

That’s why this transformation was perfect.

It is not an exaggeration to say that it is flawless.

By the way,

“How on earth is that person…”

He is an ordinary human who does not feel the slightest bit of magic and does not know how to use magic.

To think that he could see through this transformation technique.

“…”

Even thinking about it 100 times, there was no problem with Raphael’s ability to transform.

That said, that Aslan was surprisingly good at seeing.

Indeed, the rumor that he was on par with Karman was not a lie.

Especially,

‘If you play pranks like this one more time, then I won’t let you go.’

That powerful voice seemed to still linger in my head.

i guess i’m crazy

Why does that lively voice sound so charming?

“I don’t think I need to worry about this anymore.”

The reason why she attended Charlene’s auction was to decide her career path.

The people gathered here today are all high-ranking officials in the country.

He wanted to live a new life away from the stuffy and restrictive land of the elves.

That’s why he wanted to open the way for the right person among them to become a wizard of the kingdom. And,

“It was good that you came as well.”

She had already made up her mind which kingdom to go to.

* * *

“her-.”

same time.

Violetta, the head of the Charlene family, laughed.

Aslan took the bracelet that had been neglected so much.

“Rene. You can see that Aslan came here to buy that bracelet from the beginning, right?”

Her butler, Renee, nodded slowly.

“Yes. Numerous auction items passed by, but Aslan did not even move from his seat. By the way······.”

“It only responded to that Regilotte bracelet.”

“you’re right. It must have been waiting for that from the beginning.”

But how did Aslan know that it would come out in the end?

Regilotte’s bracelet was originally not on the auction list.

That it was the item that Violetta impulsively put in at the end.

But Aslan acted as if he knew it was coming.

“Among the nobles attending the auction, this is the first time I’ve seen someone like Aslan. They spare no money on auction items, even to show off and satisfy their need for luxury.”

Considering the financial power of the Berak family, Aslan was able to sweep up the auction items. Nevertheless, he did not get swept away by this madness-like auction atmosphere and kept his place until the end in a dignified and dignified manner.

Even when everyone was blinded by greed and using money like water, Aslan waited in silence until the end.

That appearance seemed quite fresh to Violetta.

It wasn’t just Violetta.

“Aslan-sama, this time, Regilotte’s bracelet…”

“Isn’t it actually a very noble bracelet?”

“hahahaha. To buy that bracelet that was cursed by the devil.”

“Since Aslan-sama bought it, wouldn’t it be different even if it was different?”

“this. I guess I should have raced it too.”

Usually, after the auction is over, nobles chatter and make requests to achieve their goals.

That’s how they mutually benefit each other.

But today, a different landscape unfolded.

All Aslan, Aslan, Aslan.

It is noisy from the first floor to the top floor talking about Aslan.

It seemed that I would end up talking about Aslan all night.

“He’s a guy who gets attention wherever he goes, Aslan.”

“The recent unremarkable steps have attracted attention. Today, he showed an image that deserves attention.”

Aslan, hiding in the shadows, appeared like a comet.

He could have passed by quietly once or twice, but as he went on, he was a man who attracted people’s attention and aroused interest.

“By the way-.”

Violetta murmured as she moved her red fan.

“Why were you aiming for that bracelet?”

I gave out the bracelet because of Aslan, but I didn’t really think I would buy it.

It was probably because of curiosity about how Aslan would react if he was related to the devil, but now that curiosity reached the tip of his head and went to the extreme.

“Does Aslan know what power that bracelet has?”

“Could it be? I have made requests to famous mage towers in various kingdoms, but no one has been able to find out the power of this bracelet.”

“That’s because they’re scared. Hasn’t there been one among them who has properly touched this bracelet?”

Horrible rumors began to circulate, and at last, a ghost story spread that just touching the bracelet would cause you to go crazy, and the Mage Tower also became reluctant to appraise Regilotte’s bracelet.

However, he couldn’t refuse the Charlene family’s request, so he procrastinated and concluded that he only confirmed the powers related to the devil, but didn’t know the details.

“This is why I hate wizards. They’re just sneaky and have no substance whatsoever.”

But Aslan knows what those wizards don’t know-.

At this time, when his reputation as a demon hunter was subtly spreading, he obtained this bracelet, which was said to be related to demons.

Of course, it can’t be anything that’s interesting.

“Keep an eye on Aslan. I wonder how you will use that bracelet.”

“Yes, my lord.”

She tapped her slender chin with the tip of a folded fan.

It’s been a long time since I’ve been so interested in a guy I didn’t even know.

* * *

I feel very good right now.

Because it feels good.

hehehehe.

I wanted to laugh like an idiot, but I couldn’t.

Because everyone in the auction house is staring at me.

‘It’s unfortunate that I fell out with Raphael.’

I got the Regilotte bracelet, which is said to be difficult to obtain unless it was a hidden quest, and most importantly,

[The shop opens.]

The store is finally open.

The amount I currently have was exactly 50 gold.

It was a victory made by grinding his teeth, listening to the petitions of the people, and clearing the 10 gold quest while risking his life.

‘Then, shall we take a look at what items are there?’

I refrained from humming and found a space where I could be alone.

I went into an empty room and opened a shop window.

[Laorent’s Window]

[Yungen’s Mana Stone]

[Dart’s Bow]

[Heart of Calorus]

These were all things I knew.

Laorent’s spear had the ability to throw lightning down when thrown at a target, and Yungen’s mana stone was an item that amplified my mana so that I could use strong magic.

In addition, items considered legendary were lined up.

“under-. This is happiness.”

But,

[Precautions]

– Shop items change randomly each time they open.

-What was once listed for sale in the store will not be listed again.

-The price is the same for all 50 gold.

these nasty bastards.

Showing off all these great items and only forcing me to buy one at a time?

In addition, once initialized, the same item will never come up again.

“What should I buy?”

You have to choose carefully.

Considering Aslan’s stats, you should choose the best item for Aslan now.

So I was looking through the list.

“uh?”

One item caught my eye.

“Hey, why is this here?”

I was so flustered that I couldn’t even speak properly.

[Pendant of Mobiros]

If the things I’ve seen so far are classified as legendary, this is a mythical item. That too,

“Isn’t that the pendant you need to clear the game!?”

A total of 6 pendants scattered all over the continent.

These pendants, which were known only in myths, were essential items to clear the game.

This is because only when all of these are gathered can the power of evil be completely annihilated, rather than just sealing the Tekina clan.

So, the condition for clearing the game was for the main character to collect 6 pendants and drive all the evil forces from the continent.

And one of them, the pendant of Mobyros, was sitting in this shop window.

“crazy.”

The location of the pendant appears randomly every game.

You can find out where the pendant is hidden only by following numerous quests and rumors.

But it’s the first time I’ve seen it pop up in a store like this.

“This is nothing to worry about.”

In order to clear the game, I needed this pendant to save my life and get out of here safely.

Of course, there is a fatal disadvantage of having to hand over the pendant to the main character later, but it is only necessary at the last moment anyway.

Until then, it was intended to be very useful.

[Would you like to select a Mobyros pendant?]

yes.

To be honest, I also covet Laorent’s spear, but I can’t give it up.

“I will do this.”

[Thank you for using the store.]

As soon as the phrase disappeared, the Mobiros pendant fell on my hand.

[Pendant of Mobiros]

-An ancient artifact created to defeat the power of evil.

-It is said that if you put six pendants together, you can obtain legendary power.

-It is a pendant with the protection of Mobiros, the god of abundance.

Up to this point, Mobyros’s pendant had information.

What followed was the most important.

The location of the pendant changes every time you play the game, and its unique ability changes. What kind of ability will be given this time…

– Resets the cooldown of all skills. (30 minutes cooldown)

“!?”

He covered his gaping mouth.

It was that I could reset the cooldown of all skills, that is, the momentary superpower skills I had.

In other words, it was a crazy ability that allowed you to use the momentary strength that was only a one-time thing twice.

“oh my. thank you.”

Words of gratitude came out of nowhere.

The cooldown reset was an option I desperately needed right now.

I squeezed the pendant tight.

Then the pendant melted away, seeping into my arm and leaving a conch-shaped mark on my wrist.

It was proof that I had collected the first pendant.

“Aslan, the standby division commander. Are you inside?”

At that time, I, who had been laughing to myself at the sound of someone’s voice, suddenly came to my senses.

The flustered face changed to a solemn one, and the loose voice gained strength.

“Who are you?”

“This is Baren, who was in charge of the auction today.”

“Come in.”

Baren, neatly dressed in a black suit, cautiously entered.

“What is going on?”

“Aslan, the commander of the Grand Division, came to check the auction items he purchased. Would you like to accompany me for a while?”

I nodded and followed Baren.

Then, the nobility who were talking noisily saw me and became quiet all at once.

Their ears perked up as they watched as the last auction item, the Regilotte bracelet, was recovered.

“Please check that there is nothing wrong with the goods.”

Is there anything wrong with it?

“······Looks fine.”

“Yes. It is designated as an extremely dangerous item, so it may take some time to deliver.”

“shipping? No need to. I will just take it.”

There was no need to bother with shipping.

I’m busy checking what options this good item has, but I’m just saying to wait at home until it’s delivered?

“Ha, but Regilotte’s bracelet might contain some kind of evil power. If you touch it wrongly, you could be harmed, so we are trying to wrap it safely with magic protection.”

Baren here, as well as the staff who had to prop up that item on something like a small cushion with magic protection, everyone had frightened faces.

At the auction earlier, they said it was all nonsense, and they all believed in the ghost story about the bracelet.

Is that why?

“An evil force?”

Seeing their frightened expressions and voices, Aslan’s bluff began to rise as if he had met prey.

“You are talking stupid.”

Then I put my hand on the bracelet.

Then Baren urgently shouted.

“Oh no! If you touch it the wrong way, you could end up in big trouble!”

As he shouted, Baren took a step back.

Employees have already run away for a long time.

All of them were afraid of being adversely affected by the evil power in the bracelet.

“…”

I quietly looked around.

Everyone at the auction house was looking at me.

Tension, anticipation, curiosity, etc. in their eyes.

When all eyes come together,

“You are cheeky.”

Bravado reaches its peak,

“How dare you wear a bracelet like this,”

Infatuation made me fall further into the pit of bravado,

“Something like the power of an ugly demon,”

As it reaches its climax, I

“Do you think you can defeat this Aslan?”

He pretended like an asshole.

chin-

I picked up the bracelet without hesitation.

“Ugh!”

People were freaking out and screaming, but I didn’t care.

Rather, he wore it on his arm as if showing off.

OK,

Chow ah-!!

Black energy began to ooze out of it.

“Ah, the power of the devil!”

“Yeah, that was a cursed bracelet!”

“Aslan! Take off your bracelet right now!”

But I responded calmly.

This is just the effect that comes out when you first wear this bracelet.

Even if he wanted to say that, Aslan’s bravado could not go unnoticed.

“Don’t make a fuss.”

yet,

“What!?”

“That one?”

All the black energy disappeared and a brilliant light leaked out from within.

It was an intense and beautiful light that dazzled the entire venue.

“This······?”

Seeing this, the nobles shouted one by one.

“Ra, the light of Rahal!”

“Did you purify the devil’s curse contained in that bracelet with that light!?”

Curse.

It’s an absurd rumor.

I looked at the well-worn bracelet.

[Regiloth’s Bracelet]

-A bracelet made by the legendary blacksmith Regilotte.

– Convert all attacks to light property.

-Inflicts 200% additional damage on dark units.

– When wearing a bracelet, one more option is given randomly.

I wiggled my lips.

Then, at some point, he slowly approached Baren, who had fled far away.

He was looking at me with a bewildered face.

“Let me take this.”

“…”

“Why no answer?”

“ah! Yes, yep! Now, I understand!”

He quickly bent down until his head touched the floor.

I passed him and headed for the entrance.

Tumble-.

Only the slow and solemn sound of my footsteps resonated throughout the venue.

It was so quiet that I didn’t even dare to open my mouth.

I left the auction house with an arrogant nod and an unblinking glance.

And,

[Grants new options to the Regilotte Bracelet.]
