(Refugee Tent, Morning)
Our conversation continued inside the tent, for me it was not a conversation but an interrogation.
"So I'll ask you a question, sir? Who are you and where are you from?"
"In my place the person who asks first introduces himself before the other person answers"
"Ah forgive me sir, I am Helena Re-El the second princess of the Re-El kingdom as well as carrying out duties as a Hero by the gods. Then..."
"Well, I'm James the general of the royal knight army of Re-El. My cast is almost the same as the first-rate nobles in the kingdom so better take care of your attitude"
"I don't care, I'm Loid, I'm from a village far away. I am a wanderer"
"That's it, Loid. Then I'll get to the point. Did you defeat the Sword Demon King?"
"If I say yes or no, why?"
"It's gonna make you hard"
I know that this will affect me in the future. But I can't follow their path, otherwise problems will keep coming later.
"I will answer honestly, the one who defeated the Demon King was indeed me but at that time I was helped by the villagers" I explained
"Thou. impossible. That must be a lie! Definitely not you but someone else" the general seemed to be in disbelief
"Well, actually I want to say that I didn't defeat him, but the evidence is clear. Why?"
"There's no way a man without man like you can defeat a Demon King!"
"James, please calm down" the Hero asked
"But hero"
Someone came in, he was the village chief. I feel like he'll help explain what happened last night.
"Oh village chief what's wrong?"
"I just want to make it clear that the person who defeated the Sword Demon King is Lord Loid. Although he was helped by the residents but the impact was not too great, but Mr. Loid still resisted" explained the village head
"But it's impossible for a person without which this magic does it, right?"
From the beginning I did not understand about mana and magic, I should have asked Goddess Gaia to impart knowledge about the magic of this world.
"By the way about where and magic can you guys be clear, right? I still don't know about that"
My words just kept the three of them quiet, but I need to know more about the world.
"Mr Loid, please hold this for a moment and input where you are into it" asked Helena
He took out a white round crystal and told me to put my hand on it.
"All right"
When my hand touched the crystal the white light came out and dazzled the eyes. I think it was a reaction from a crystal named "where crystal "to measure the magnitude of one's magic.
Surprisingly, the crystal was still white. I think my strength increased due to receiving a task from the Goddess.
"Number of mana zero, magic zero. You really can't use magic?"
"Well that's how it is"
I remembered the encounter with the Goddess, if I could still use the spirit controlling power but I could not use magic.
"so apparently. True if I can't use magic but I can still use the sword" I tried to cover all things related to the Goddess
"Although it is impossible to defeat him with the sword alone. Since Gara himself was the strongest Sword King in the world, that was the reason why he became the Demon King" explained the Hero
"I got help from the villagers. Besides, what is mana and magic is still unclear"
If I deduce with the spirit controlling ability, mana is the cursed energy whereas magic is the spirit technique.
At the time the meeting was taking place, a knight came hastily. To give you news of bad news,
"Report, there's a problem with the Demon King's corpse!"
We were very surprised by the report, if he got back up it would cause a lot of problems.
"What's wrong?"
"There's a weapon belonging to the Demon King, it's a Gram Demon sword. His curse is absorbing our power"
"Let's forget about that curse sword"
We also saw the situation there, the people there moved away from the sword. What sword is that?
A huge pressure felt on me, even I knew that the sword had incredible power.
"Hey man" something sounded from the direction of the sword
"Who?"
"I think you're the right person to use me next"
"Ohhh you're pretty brave too huh, then I'll do it"
"Hey I can take that sword, right?"
"Tu.wait for master Loid, that sword is very dangerous. You'll get a curse if you touch it"
"Because of the curse, it sounds good" I just got closer
For those who hit or approach the sword their magic will be sucked. But to me it feels like food, right.the curse.
"I'm fine" I held and I raised the sword
At that time everyone looked weak, but I didn't feel anything. The sword spoke in my head.
"Ohhhh I will see how much power you have for me to eat" said the Sword
"I'm sorry but I feel weird, so I'll prove it with something else"
"Basal lowly man, I will absorb all your strength.eh..wait..what is this"
"Well that's the way it is but I don't really understand, but...."
The Legendary Demon Curse Sword, Gram. A sword whose owner was not careless, only high-class demons could use it.
The sword that had his own thoughts, he had gone through many wars against humans. Millions of bloods were felt on the tip of his sword.
But at this time when he was trying to absorb the power of the Loid, Gram went deep inside Loid. There he felt that the abyss that had to be absorbed was very deep and dark, and he could not even absorb the slightest bit of Loid power.
"Hmm, now I want to try something"
The Loid absorbed all the curses from the Sword Gram, a curse that was obtained from killing many humans. The grudge and anger of the victim still clinging to Gram became a curse.
"It turns out you've killed a lot of people huh, but I'm grateful for that"
Loid entered Gram's consciousness, where he saw millions of corpses. But he doesn't care about the dead, he just absorbs all the curses from Gram.
Gram himself for hundreds of years just felt this time he met the person who was absorbing his strength. Even the Demon King had to give me a lot of mana and it was still difficult to use it.
"Who are you really?"
"Loid, your new owner"
