Finally, after a millennium of tireless meditation, Ars restored his Inner Physique to perfect condition.
Strength 100% recovered!
When Ars opened his eyes, what appeared was a young man who forcibly made a contract with Est.
That made him a little angry.
Areishia bequeathed Terminust Est to him. How could Ars let someone else take Est?
Even so, he did not directly kill the young man. Despite Areishia's death, Ars' Dao Heart was not easily shaken.
As a result, invisible pressure threw the young man to hit the stone.
Ars has shown mercy. Otherwise, the young man had already exploded into a blood mist.
"Who are you?"
Facing the red-haired little girl's question, Ars with flaming red eyes stared at her without any change of emotion in her voice.
"Ars."
"Arr... I've never heard that name. More importantly, did you attack Kamito?" This is the first time Claire has heard that name.
"Cough Cough... Claire, watch out, that guy's dangerous."
While coughing up blood, Kamito reminded him. His intuition as a former assassin reminded him that the person in front of him was a human-skinned monster.
"really. Other than Areishia, no one is worthy of being the contractor of the Holy Sword."
"Areishians... Could it be that what was meant was the Holy Queen?! Does that mean that sword is the Severian Sword in legend!"
Hearing this, Claire was stunned. His gaze on the Sacred Sword next to Ars grew even hotter.
He wanted to be strong as quickly as possible to achieve his goal, that was why he was willing to take the risk of coming here. Now knowing it was the Severian Sword, his determination of wanting to possess it grew stronger.
Releasing Kamito, Claire stood with her hands on her hips and said aggressively: "The Holy Queen has died 1000 years ago. In other words, anyone could become the owner of the Severian Sword. What right do you have to forbid me?"
"Claire, don't provoke him!" Kamito said helplessly. She felt this girl was mentally retarded.
Without changing his expression, Ars said indifferently: "What you say is true. But... You think you're worthy? Know your place, little girl.”
Then Ars directed 0.000001% of the aura of the Immortal Emperor to Claire.
"Arggh."
As if gravity had increased by hundreds of times, Claire could not question her haughty posture and she kneeled to the ground without being able to raise her head.
"Meow!!!"
The fire spirit in the form of a cat named Scarlet could not bear to see its owner oppressed, he jumped towards Ars and wanted to claw it.
"Hgm."
*BOOM*
Just with a cold snort from Ars, Scarlet burst into pieces and returned to Astral Zero.
"Scarlett!!!" Shouted Claire sadly, then glared at Ars.
"I won't forgive you." He shouted furiously.
"Remember this feeling. Don't challenge the strong when you're weak." Ars doesn't care.
*bAM*
Kamito at Ars' blind spot, he punched him in the head, but his hand hit an invisible wall.
"Just for nothing, you won't be able to damage even a piece of my clothes." Ars stared at Kamito with a disgusted expression.
The reason for the failure of Kamito's attack was because Ars had activated [Mugen (Infinity)].
With [Mugen], anything that approaches him slows down and continues to slow down until it really won't get to Ars.
"I don't believe."
Pulling out a dagger at his waist, Kamito continuously attacked various vital points. However, no matter which part he attacked, his attack could not hit the opponent.
"Have you heard of the Zeno Paradox? Ah, forget what I said. Primitive people like you won't understand even if I explain."
After saying that, Ars waved his hand. In the next instant, Kamito once again crashed. This time, he bumped into Claire who could not move.
The two people groaned in pain as they collided.
Luck Active protagonist.
Whether intentionally or not, Kamito's right hand landed on Claire's small chest, her legs opened the girl's thighs, and the lips both stuck together.
"What the fuck is this perverted luck... Are you Yuuki Rito?" Ars is speechless.
"Yeah! Raunchy, pervert, dirty, wild animal!"
Upon awakening, Claire pokes Kamito's body and slaps him in the face.
"It was unintentional, I swear it was an accident." While holding his cheek, Kamito stammered making excuses.
On the other hand, Claire crossed her arms in front of her chest, her face flushed red, there were tears in the corner of her eyes, and she looked like a rape victim.
"I've been tainted... What if I'm pregnant."
"Omong empty! You won't get pregnant just because of that."
"But the book says—"
"The book is not true, do not read such a book in the future."
Kamito and Claire begin to quarrel, forgetting Ars on the side.
Ars: "😐"
Seeing one blaming and the other defending himself, Ars did not want to watch the ridiculous show.
Using [Mukagen (Limitless)], he manipulated the space around the two of them. Later, the two are teleported to a random location, which even Ars himself does not know where.
"Finally, the two troublemakers left."
He looked at the crescent-shaped Spirit Seal on the back of his left hand. Ars has no intention of rousing Restia from hibernation. At least, not now.
In his consciousness that had sunk into the darkness, Ars found a girl sitting while hugging her knees.
His silvery white hair shone brilliantly even in the darkness.
"Est."
Ars placed his hand on Est's cheek which had closed his heart.
Those mysterious purple eyes widened in shock.
"Arr..."
"Est, I beg you, don't torture yourself. If Areishia found out about this, she would definitely be sad."
Turning to the crouching Est, Ars sat next to him.
But Est shook his head without saying anything.
"Ars, I'm sorry. I can't be your sword."
Est of course wanted to fulfill Areishia's last request, but she was afraid, afraid the same thing happened to Ars.
"One day, I'll take Ars' life."
At that moment, something cold was felt at Ars' fingertips.
Those are tears.
Est was once a Sword Spirit who showed no single emotion. However, as his interactions with Ars and Areishia grew, human emotions slowly rose within him.
Precisely because he has emotions, Est is saddened by Areishia's death caused by him, and is afraid that Ars will follow in Areishia's footsteps, if he contracts with her.
"I don't deserve to be Ars' sword."
Est himself had stolen Areishia's life with his curse.
That's why he closed his heart.
For hundreds of years, he continued to separate himself from those who wanted to sign him.
So he won't be touched by anyone else anymore.
Ars rubbed Est's eyes.
"If that's what you're afraid of, you don't have to worry, your curse is ineffective against me."
Physical Imperfection Emptiness of the Empyrean Realm was not just a mere decoration!
This physique made cultivators immune to Dao, Law Services, poison, magic, curses, and other negative effects.
Even if the curse attached to Est was powerful, it was only limited in this world.
Ars believes Est's curse will not be able to damage his Void Imperfection Physique.
"You can't......If you continue to use the Demon Sword like me, I will steal your life!"
Unfortunately, Est is unaware of that fact, and still refuses.
Ars puts his hand on Est's head.
"I won't lose to such a curse."
She rubbed that beautiful silvery-white hair.
"Fuaa.... Ars... Stop, please...."
"will not. Until you stop crying."
"Its...."
"Est, your curse and your destiny as a Demon Sword, I will accept everything."
Then, Ars hugs Est's small body.
"Be my Spirit, Est!"
"No... I'll do it, to Ars..."
To stop those words, Ars hugged Est and covered his lips with his.
"!?"
Est's eyes opened in surprise.
It was a ritual to contract a top-tier Spirit.
Swear Kiss.
Ars gently separated their lips.
"I'll say it one more time, Est. Be my Spirit."
He held tightly to his delicate body.
"Be my Spirit, Est!"
Responding to Ars's words....
"Ars, I-I-"
Est's silvery white hair shines.
...
In real reality.
Ars opened his eyes and found in his right hand a symbol of two crossed swords engraved on it.
In his hand held a long sword of one hand in white and blue with the hilt partially in gold.
"Just calm down, Est. The day you see me die because your curse will never come." Ars spoke softly, the days the three of them spent coming to his mind.
"I'm Ars's contracted Spirit. Protecting you is my job."
Est's voice was immediately heard by Ars.
