——Of course, the only people who know this are the high-ranking members of the Lokeshi Empire and the dead.

It's not that others who know about the existence of the Magic Blade will be killed by the Sword Master.

It's simply that none of the opponents worthy of the Sword Master personally taking action have lived to spread the name of the Magic Blade.

But now, is such a divine weapon really going to be given to the Ense Empire by the Sword Master?

Are you saying none of the patriarchs of the Thirteen Families want to stop it?

That's pure nonsense.

Yet the Magic Blade itself belongs to the Sword Master, and they cannot refuse no matter to whom he wishes to give it.

But Cialdini actually wants his daughter to learn martial skills from the Ense people?

If this news spreads, isn't he afraid others will laugh at the Lokeshi Empire?

But the head of the Purgatory Dragon Family, Bart Jean, was thoughtful:

"Do you want that child, Vier, to inherit your legacy?"

The Sword Master nodded with difficulty: "You... you all can't... learn Celestial Blade, let alone... teach that child... Your Majesty, help me...!"

Tal knelt down, grasped his hand, and said: "Cialdini, don't speak, Vier will be here soon."

"Dad!"

A voice came with a sob from the doorway, and a girl rushed to the bedside.

Tal stood up, making way, glanced around, and everyone knowingly left the room, leaving this last period to this father and daughter.

...

Outside the door, Tal said heavily:

"Deploy 2 more Demigods, or else whether things below get chaotic or not, the Empire will be in turmoil first."

"Your Majesty, 2 are not enough."

"This is already the limit; deploying more below will cause trouble."

"If we don't deploy five, the Empire will have trouble first. The stability of the Empire is the premise for us and them to make a stand."

"..."

After a round of dialogue, Tal showed a pained expression.

The Lokeshi Empire is now like a machine operating at high speed, but it lacks spare parts.

It's fine if nothing happens, but once something does, the whole machine might come to a halt.

The Empire's crisis is not a result of a single day, but the Sword Master's death may become the last straw that breaks the camel's back, forcing them to take it seriously.

Although the Sword Master is a legend, his importance to the Lokeshi Empire surpasses most legends.

Are legends powerful?

Very powerful, but compared to a Demigod, not powerful enough.

What if it's a Saint Realm legend?

That's not just ordinarily powerful, it can even overturn the entire battle situation.

The Sword Master, who can fight Demigods and has efficiency over four times that of an average Demigod, can achieve victory against strong foes with weak forces.

Because other Demigods, to some extent, are restricted.

It could be that the lack of world power results in Old Law Demigods being unable to sustain battles.

Or New Law Demigods being severely rejected by world will, unable to support prolonged combat at all.

In such circumstances, only the Sword Master running across the continent and capable of bursting out Demigod-level power can have an immediate deterrent effect.

A single person can replace several Demigods, truly a timely boon.

But now, the rain has stopped.

...

[Location: Lokeshi Empire—Louis's Courtyard]

Louis frowned as he reviewed various events that occurred from yesterday to today.

There was news from the Lokeshi Empire and results from their own intelligence department's investigations.

But no matter which, all indicated the situation was dire.

Louis was almost going crazy.

Not to mention their relationship was pretty good, you could even say they appreciated each other.

Just the fact that the Sword Master died mixed up all his plans from recent times.

Why did he come to the Lokeshi Empire?

Wasn't it to safeguard the Sword Master before the enemy could?

But now? What has he safeguarded?

The situation developed just as recorded in the future diary, heading in the most troublesome direction.

He even doubted himself, wondering if the future diary hadn't updated because he hadn't changed the situation.

In fact, after hearing of the Sword Master's death, Louis didn't care about the expense of Magic Crystal Stones and started contacting Beatrice and Olivia online.

The communication continued from morning till afternoon, without interruption, enough to indicate the seriousness of this matter.

On the other side of the communication crystal, Beatrice said seriously:

"The intelligence I have here is somewhat outdated. You should quickly communicate with local intelligence personnel to understand the specific situation, and... be careful. The one who can kill the Sword Master means it has the capacity to threaten you."

Louis nodded, "I'll be careful with my safety. Also, don't forget, in terms of survival ability, I'm much stronger than the majority of Demigods."

The Curse Binding Legion is a mowing machine against the weak, and a stumbling block against the strong.

It's easy to find an opportunity for Louis to escape danger.

After all, no one's Demigod will work like the Curse Binding Legion, risking it all to buy time for Louis against enemies.

Just as Louis was about to say something, he received a secret letter from the Lokeshi authorities.

The secret letter was sent over by the Sword Master's entrusted person.

After a glance, Louis frowned.

Inside was a general account of the battle between Cialdini and Envy the Sin.

In fact, during this battle, Cialdini almost always had the upper hand.

Envy the Sin put up resistance, but Cialdini's Celestial Blade Thousand Waves first seriously wounded the opponent, then decapitated with a second strike.

Turning back, Envy the Sin used bizarre means to generate a new body from the head's mouth, but under the Sword Master's Infinite Blade Radiance's double-layered attack, it was again crushed.
