Chapter 62

"Are you the Swordsman of Light?"]

Haunted by evil spirits: The Swordsman of Light? Wait, didn’t I say there are only 10 holy swords? Why did the 11th one appear?

Thumbelina of Science: The legend only says that 10 holy swords are needed to reproduce the book of omniscience and omnipotence, but it does not say that there are only 10 holy swords.

Paramecium: Aren't you completely surprised that a person turned into a holy sword?

Chaos Evil Gudazi: Because I was so surprised, I didn’t know how to complain. Now, there are many holy swordsmen in my kingdom who are looking at their holy swords with strange eyes.

097: The best (light) day

[The sight of the Holy Sword of Light appearing was not only seen by everyone present.

Far away in their lair in Megiddo, Stellius and Bist were actually paying attention to this knightly civil war.

"Oh, I didn't expect that the Koukou sword Saiko would be reborn."

Stellius looked at the human-turned-holy sword in the picture. Although he said he was surprised, his expression did not change at all and he always maintained a smile.

"Hmph, you guys must have guessed that the Holy Sword of Light will appear a long time ago. Why are you suddenly paying attention to the little fights of those swordsmen?"

Bister curled her lips, thinking that this guy had opened the screen early and had a panoramic view of the civil war between the Kamen Riders. She did not believe that Stellius was unaware of this matter.

"Haha, I really can't hide it from you, Bister. You are really smart..."

"Go away, don't disgust me."

Facing Stellius's sincere praise, Bister glared at him and urged him to point out the important points.

"Okay, okay, actually, it's just a matter of time before the Holy Sword of Light appears again. When the swordsman opens the passage to Avalon, the Holy Sword of Light will realize that the real world has begun to challenge the book of omniscience and omnipotence. The strongest swordsman who regards protecting the world as his mission will naturally be unable to sit still and come out to take a look."

Stellius paused and glanced at the Guanggang Sword, which was showing great power on the screen. Taking advantage of the fact that he was just a sword without a wielder, he was able to fool the four swordsmen around. He looked with interest. Rubbing his fingers.

"But Bister, you did misunderstand me this time."

"What?"

Bister tilted her head in confusion.

"I did guess that Koukou Sword Saiko would reappear in the near future, but I really didn't expect to see her so early. This time I was really only interested in the civil war between swordsmen."

"ha?"

Bister tilted her head to the other side and made a question mark.

"What's so interesting about these guys' play-acting? No one showed their true skills. Even the children wielded wooden sticks and beat them more fiercely."

"Indeed, their battle is nothing, but what I am thinking about is the essence behind the swordsmen's civil war."

"Nature?"

"The Holy Blade is a swordsman who personally gained power from Avalon. In other words, he is the person that the Holy Sword of Light pays close attention to. He lets the swordsmen attack the Holy Blade and regards protecting the world as the most important thing. I won’t sit still and wait for death.”

"That means someone wants to lure out the Holy Sword of Light? Why?"

Bister was actually not stupid. Stellius had already said this, so she naturally understood what he meant.

"In terms of purpose, it should be the same as ours, except that we want to collect the Alternative Control Book first, while the other party wants to collect the Holy Sword first."

Stellius laughed, and his golden pupils seemed to be able to penetrate the void and see the competitor's back.

In the distant shadows where the swordsmen of the North District and the Light Gang Sword were fighting at their brightest, Allen silently watched everything develop and murmured to himself.

"As expected, the Holy Sword of Light has appeared, and the plan should be able to enter the next stage."]

Barrus: Sure enough, Ellen is the enemy. She wants to gain omniscience and omnipotence.

Dr. Jiwotou: I see. Is the purpose of promoting the swordsman civil war actually to bring out the brightest light of the Guanggang Sword?

Rhode Island CEO: Please wait a moment. I remember that in the side story where Miss Mayuri appeared, the person who released the sealed Miss Mayuri was a man. If Allen is the real enemy, then that man who is it?

Madoka: Could it be Allen’s subordinate or partner? After all, she is the second-in-command of the South District of the Sword of Truth. She can’t do everything herself.

Rhode Island CEO: It's possible.

[The frontal battlefield is one-sided. The swordsmen obviously have no experience fighting against a sword.

The swordsmen's attacks will be evaded by it dexterously, and even if it hits once or twice occasionally, a sword will not feel pain.

On the other hand, the Guanggang Sword is the brightest. She doesn't even need any gorgeous sword moves. She can cause a lot of trouble to the swordsmen just by flying around among them. It doesn't take long for her to defeat the sword. The soldiers could only defend passively.

"Yeah, the quality of modern swordsmen is pretty good, but it's time to end."

The eyes on the small face carved on the brightest sword grid of the Guanggang Sword flickered, and a girl's voice came from it.

"As long as there is light!"

"The most radiant!"

The golden blade began to shine with silver light, and the entire sword rotated at high speed after starting to kill. From a distance, it looked like a circular light saw cutting gold and silver. This light saw just broke through the 4-bit sword. The soldiers' defense knocked them out of their transformation.

"Good Luck!"

Seeing that the crisis was over, Shizhi finally couldn't hold on any longer and half-knelt down to cancel the transformation.

"I can fight again!"

Yakuya was obviously dissatisfied with his performance and tried to get up to fight again, but was stopped by Miku.

"That's enough. The situation is out of control. The Holy Sword of Light, which has been lost for thousands of years, appears again. We must go back immediately to inform everyone at the Sword of Truth."

"Well, it's time to retreat."

The Seven Sins had no choice but to carry the local sword Jitu on their shoulders. The current situation was indeed not suitable for fighting anymore.

"Novelist, I hope you can calm down and think about it carefully. Kotori-san... is a betrayer after all."

After saying that, Nanami and Miku left alone with Yakuya who was still unconvinced. Tohka took a last deep look at Shiori and finally chose to leave.

"Really, it's such a pity..."

"..."

Shizhi looked at the backs of everyone leaving and wanted to stop them, but finally gave up.

Seeing everyone leaving, Koukou Sword Saiko returned to his original girlish form and jumped up to Shiori and Yoshino.

"Hey, brother, we meet again. Today is really the best day."

Looking at the girl with a bright smile, Shiori remembered the relationship between him and her. She was the hooded girl who existed in Avalon and gave him the "Dragon Knight".

But Yoshino was completely out of the situation. It would be better to say that since she and Shiori reunited, she felt that everything had changed.

"I'm glad you're helping, but who are you?"

"Hmm, it's true. Didn't I introduce myself before? You should listen carefully to what others say!"

With that said, the girl took out the drive and waved it in front of the two of them, like a child showing off a toy.

"I am the best sword to protect the world!"

"I see... What a ghost, I asked you for your name or something like that!"

Soshinai was a little crazy.

"Name? Oh, I'm sorry. After all, I haven't used it in a thousand years. I didn't think of introducing this for a moment. My name is Mana, Chongmiya Mana. Please give me more advice in the future!"]

098: Cut

["Oh! Is this the world a thousand years from now?"

The blue-haired girl walked through the shopping street with her sparkling eyes wide open. Shiori and Yoshino followed each other. While taking this mysterious girl to visit the modern world, they asked passers-by if they had seen the snow monster Miji. Many whereabouts.

"Hey, brother-sama, what is this?"

Mana ran out of a certain store with a cup of bubble milk tea, followed by an angry staff member.

"Hey! You haven't paid me yet!"

"money?"

Hearing the roar of the person behind him, Mana turned around and tilted her head cutely.

"But didn't you ask me if I wanted a drink? Didn't you want to give it to me?"

"How is that possible? Of course you have to pay!"

"That's it."

Mana nodded, then took out something like a glass bead from his arms and handed it to the other party.

Keep the change, please.

"???"

The clerk looked at the "glass ball" in his hand with a question mark on his face. Before he was about to make a complete announcement, Shizhi rushed over and apologized to the other party quickly and paid.

"It turns out that you can no longer exchange orbs for things. What a pity. In my time, these things were obviously hard currency."

"Well, although opal stones are very valuable now, most people will not pay directly with the gemstones."

Shi Shiran took back the gem called "Baozhu" into his arms. Mana didn't care about Shiori's complaints, but raised the pearl milk tea in front of the two of them with a curious expression.

"Compared to this, Onii-sama, what is this brown liquid with large black particles in it?"

"It's pearl milk tea. It's a very popular drink now."

The person who answered the other party was Yoshino, who was more interested in this aspect, but what she was more concerned about was actually Mana's name for Shiori.

"Why do you really want to call Shizhi brother-sama? Not to mention that Shizhi is a girl, you are hundreds of times older than Shizhi, right?"

"Isn't it natural for a sister to call her brother?"

Mana seemed to not understand Yoshino's meaning and showed a puzzled expression.

"No, even though we look a bit similar, we would probably be regarded as sisters by outsiders just by looking at our appearance. But I am a woman, so to speak a hundred steps back, I should call her sister."

Shizhi finally had the opportunity to ask about this topic that she had always felt uncomfortable talking about, and she joined the discussion at the right time.

"In my eyes, whether you are Itsuka Shiori or someone else, you are my older brother. This is the only thing I will never admit."

"So there must be a reason why I am your brother, right?"

"Hmm... Reincarnation? Doppelgänger? I don't know exactly how to define it. After all, I'm just a swordsman."

Mana tapped her chin, but her attention was quickly attracted by the pearl milk tea in her hand. She shook the pearls in the cup, and gave it to Yoshino with a final sigh.

"Is this the crystallization of modern human wisdom? Drink, it's a pity that as a sword, I can't drink it, so I'll give it to you."

"Uh, thank you. Hey, aren't you human now?"

"I am a sword."

"No, they are all human beings anyway."

"It's a sword. Can't humans nowadays even distinguish between a man and a sword?"

Seeing Mana and Yoshino arguing like children over a trivial matter, Shiori thought of another thing.

Since Mana is the Swordsman of Light who has existed for more than a thousand years, does he know what is going on with Ryouko Kusakabe's current situation?

"Mana-chan, do you know that humans can be turned into Megiddo?"

"I know."

Mana looked at Shiori and answered almost instantly.

"Probably using a specially processed blank alternative control book, it will turn the host into Megiddo, and then Megiddo will completely replace the human by constantly using power to complete the alternative control book."

"What!? Does this mean that if this continues, the editor-in-chief of Kusakabe will disappear?"

Yoshino said in disbelief, to which Mana nodded honestly. 】

Touzhu: How could this happen? If Megiddo is killed, the host may die, and if left alone, it will eventually disappear.

Selling Fish: Hey, what a disgusting prop.

Death Student: Wait? Stellius clearly said that this kind of book was a newly created book based on his experience in making "The Dragon of the Evil King". Why does it sound like Mana's tone that this kind of book existed thousands of years ago?

Devil Bomber: Someone is lying, I won't say who.

Just wait, Maoyan: This Stellius previously mastered the technology of turning humans into Megiddo, but he even hid it from his two companions, and even lied that he had only recently mastered this technology. This Megiddo Duo's behavior is really suspicious.

["So is there any way to save Miss Kusakabe?"
