Warriorsโ Adventures After the Doomed End by the Most Powerful Villainous Aristocrat ใI Failed to Avoid the Doomed End, but I Was Saved by the Main Heroine, a Saint Who Turned Into a Yandere Just Before the Execution. Now Iโm Going to Get Serious and Become a Warrior~
โOkay, let’s go buy a sword.โ
I muttered as I left the pancake shop.
โVane sanโฆ Do you have a favorite weapon shop?โ
โNo, not reallyโฆโ
I usually left it to my servants to arrange for weaponsโฆ
โWell, I know a good weapon shop, so why don’t we go there?โ
โOh! Okay, let’s do that.โ
If it’s a weapon shop recommended by Chloe, the saintess, then the quality should be guaranteedโฆ
โโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโ
The weapon shop Chloe mentioned was located down a slightly dimly lit street off the main street of the capital city.
It seemed to be attached to a blacksmith’s shop, as black smoke was billowing out of the chimney.
โExcuse me!โ
Chloe said as she knocked on the doorโ
โโHuhโฆ? Who is it?โ
A slightly lazy male voice came from behind the door.
โIt’s me! Saint Chloe!โ
โWhat?! Wait a minute!โ
Then there was a commotion, and the door opened.
โChloe, it’s been a while! โฆWait, a guy?โ
The man who appeared from behind the door was a handsome guy with red hair, red eyes, and an eye patch.
As soon as he saw me, his expression clouded over.
โHelen san! Long time no see!โ
โHey! Long time no seeโฆ Since I made you a short sword, chains, and handcuffs for self-defense?โ
A short swordโฆ okay, but chains and handcuffs?
Ehโฆ? What were you planning to use them forโฆ?
โWellโฆ Fortunately, I haven’t had the opportunity to use the things you made for me yet.โ
โHaha, it’s best if you never have to use weapons! โฆBy the way, I’ve been wonderingโฆ Who is that man?โ
โโฆโ
Helen’s sharp gaze pierced me.
It felt like she was trying to figure something outโฆ that kind of atmosphere.
โโฆ Hmph, youโฆ how old are you? Your muscle tone, your magical powerโฆ above all, that insane auraโฆ what kind of life have you lived to become like that?โ
โHuh? Aura?โ
โYeahโฆ After all these years as a blacksmith, I can kind of tell what kind of person someone is and how strong they are just by their aura.โ
โFufu, I’m glad Helen likes youโฆ After all, I came here today to have Vane sanโhis weapon made!โ
โHuhโฆ Vaneโฆ So this is him! The savior the young lady mentioned earlier!โ
โ~?!โ
Chloe’s face turned as red as an apple.
The saviorโฆ?!
Did Chloe say that to meโฆ?
โAnyway! Please make Vane san’s sword!โ
โSure, sureโฆ Come on in.โ
I followed his gesture and entered the weapon shop.
Inside, there were various weapons such as swords, spears, and shields.
โThis isโฆโ
I approached a long sword that caught my eye.
This was the Fire Dragon’s Fang Swordโฆ an A-rank weapon and a rare weapon that could only be made from rare drops.
I looked at the other weapons, and they were all A-rank or B-rank weapons.
As expected of Chloe’s favorite shopโฆ rare weapons were just lying around everywhereโฆ
โOh, you’ve set your sights on the Fire Dragon’s Fang Sword. You have good taste.โ
โIt’s a long sword made by blending mithril ingots, fire dragon fangs, and a small amount of fire bags, right?โ
I think it has a special effect that adds fire attributes to attacks.
โOh, wowโฆ You’re not a blacksmith, yet you know so much about itโฆโ
โHuh? Well, yeahโฆโ
I looked away.
Shit, I just showed off my game knowledge.
Umโฆ the price isโฆ
50 million gols?!
Since 1 gol is almost the same value as 1 yen, that’s effectively 50 million yen.
I have money saved up from hunting monsters, so I could afford it, butโฆ I’m still hesitant.
Besides, I can add fire attributes to my attacks with support magicโฆ
โAnything elseโฆโ
I shift my gaze to the other weapons. None of them are bad, but none of them have any particular features either.
โHmmโฆ Hmm?โ
Then, one sword catches my eye.
That’s because, unlike the other swords with their dazzling decorations, this one has no decorations at all.
The wooden handle has some scorch marks, and the blade is a dull color.
It was probably made a long time ago and has been used extensively.
I pick up the sword and examine it closely.
โOh? kidโฆ you’ve got your eye on that one?โ
โWellโฆ I just thought it was a pretty simple sword.โ
โThat one was sold by a strange traveler a long time agoโฆ If you like it, I’ll give it to you for free.โ
โNo, I’ll pass on that.โ
I didn’t want to keep a sword like this, which seemed cursed, nearby.
It was bad luck.
I tried to put the sword back where it belonged, butโฆ
โThump.
My heart suddenly began to race.
In an instant, magic flowed from the sword.
โWhatโฆ what is thisโฆโ
I tried to let go of the sword quickly, but for some reason, my hand wouldn’t let go.
The magical power flowing from the sword traveled through my arm and reached my heart.
The next moment, a sharp pain like being stabbed with a needle struck my heart.
โGuhโฆ ahโฆโ
โโV-vane-san!? Are you okay?!โใCould this sword beโฆ a cursed swordโฆ? If soโฆ Purify!”
Chloe used Purify once on the sword and once on me.
However, the Purify seemed to have no effect, and the sword refused to leave my hand.
โGuhโฆ Aaah!โ
Then, the pain in my heart intensified instantly.
After that, the magic stopped flowing from the sword.
At the same time, the pain subsided.
โWhat was thatโฆ?โ
I thought I was going to be cursed to deathโฆ
โVane-san! The sword’s conditionโฆโ
โEhโฆ?โ
I looked at the sword I was holdingโ
โWhatโฆ is this?โ
There was a sword there that looked completely different from the one before.
The hilt was decorated with dazzling red accents, and the blade had a faint reddish tintโฆ but above all, it had an aura that made it clear this was no ordinary sword.
It looked like a demon sword.
โฆHuh? A demon sword?
โโฆIs thisโฆ a demon swordโฆ?โ
A demon swordโฆ it’s a powerful sword that holds various formidable powers.
Depending on the sword, its performance may rivalโฆ no, surpass that of a holy sword.
I recognized this sword.
This is definitely the demon sword that can only be obtained after defeating the final bossโฆ
โDemon Sword Gariaโฆโ
โDemon Swordโฆ Garia? This sword is a demon swordโฆ?โ
Helen stared at the demon sword with wide eyes.
โWaitโฆ Demon Sword Gariaโฆ Isn’t that the cursed weapon from mythologyโฆ?โ
โYes.โ
The Demon Sword Gariaโฆ According to the setting guide, it was the sword favored by the Demon God when he was alive.
It chooses its user and disguises itself as an ordinary sword until someone who pleases it appears.
That was also written there.
Did this demon sword take a liking to meโฆ?
