The guild leader dodged the sword thrown by Galia. The sword pierced the floor.
“W-what’s with this ominous sword……?”
“I didn’t really want to use this, but I have no choice. It’s all your fault.”
“……What do you mean?”
“This is one of the most dangerous magic swords in the possession of our Brazel family. Once it is pulled out of its sealing sheath, it will not be satisfied until it has consumed human souls.”
Galia’s ancestor several generations ago. He was known as a rare collector of magic swords, and the magic swords and cursed swords he collected from all over the world are still secretly held by his family. Among them, this was considered to be the most dangerous item.
“Giiiiiiiiiiii”, an ear-splitting, shrieking sound rang out as a mouth and fangs appeared on the blade of the magic sword. In addition, a giant eyeball emerged on it, taking an eerie appearance as if a human face is embedded in the blade of the sword.
The changes didn’t end there. From the handle, something like an elongated limb grew, allowing itself to stand on the ground. The magic sword, which had transformed into a slender lizard-like form laughed creepily. Its hideous looking eyes looked at the humans gathered here as if appraising each one.
“Hee-hee-hee, it’s been a long time since I’ve last manifested! There are so many tasty-looking humans here… (Slurp, slurp)”
Galia warned the magic sword which is licking its lips.
“I don’t have a problem with you eating two or three of them. But remember, don’t touch that baby.”
“Hee-hee, I can’t help it, that baby looks the most delicious.”
“Y-you bastard….”
“Kekeke, I’m just kidding, a joke okay.”
The adventurers are flustered by the magic sword that converses with Galia.
“T-that sword is talking……? ……What on earth is that? No, this ominous feeling…… I’ve felt it somewhere before…… D-don’t tell me….. is it a demon…..?”
“……You got it right. A demon resides in this sword.”
Demon. It is an intelligent life form that is said to inhabit a different world from this one, but its detailed ecology is not well understood. It is said that in order to appear in this world, a host of some kind is necessary. This sword was indeed one that can house the spirit of a demon.
It was supposed to be bound with enslavement magic and kept under control, but it occasionally acts outside the control of Galia, making it difficult to say that it can be completely controlled. What’s more, some of the past masters have used the power of this magic sword too much, and their minds have been taken over by demons. It was indeed a double-edged sword and that is maybe why Galia did not want to rely on the power of this sword if possible.
“Since it has come to this, there is no other way then.”
“H-Hey! Are you saying you are going to let that demon fight……? That’s for sure against the rules you know.”
“Breaking the rules? Even if it’s a sword with a demon dwelling in it, a sword is still a sword, right? It was stated that it doesn’t matter what kind of weapon we use. We agreed on that arrangement, didn’t we? Alright, come on, do it. Start with him.”
“Heeheehee, understood….. (woooo—sh)”
With almost no preliminary movement, the magic sword leaped at the guild leader. He immediately blocked the blade of the sword that rushed at him with his spear, but the next moment the blade extended.
“Wha-……?”
“You’re mi~ne!”
The fangs bite the guild leader’s neck and tears it off. Spurt. Fresh blood flew everywhere.
“““Guild Leader!?”””
“Kekeke, don’t avoid it.”
“Ggh……ugh……”
Apparently, thanks to the quick twist of his neck, the fatal wound was avoided. Still, he had a piece of flesh on his neck ripped off, and he was bleeding so much, he would die if he didn’t get a healing spell right away.
The adventurers panicked and tried to stop the fight, but the magic sword doesn’t listen.
“Yaahahaha! This time, I’ll bite you to death!”
Without a moment’s hesitation, it attacked again.
At that moment, a small shadow fell from the ceiling at a breakneck speed towards the magic sword.
“Guild Leader-ojiichan, it’s time to switch players. I’m also an adventurer, so it’s okay to be one of the players, right?”
He spoke while brandishing a giant sword in his small hands.
Zudooooong!
“Gyaaaaaaaaaah!?”
With a thunderous roar, the magic sword was crushed.
