Isekai Adventure in the Dimensional Cube-Chapter 1495 - 1047: Holy Sword Rune (Part 2)

When the Tistis family accompanied the Reinnaier clan to source springs for battle, the retainers who had followed the first generation of savior since his lifetime obtained the sub-Holy Sword kept in the empire-affiliated kingdom.

Thus, the Ice Holy Sword fell into the hands of the Tistis family, passed down within the family until it became the National Guardian Divine Weapon of the Tistis Kingdom, ending up in the hands of the Warrior Queen Charity, who had a resurgence of ancestral lineage.

That is to say, like Moslo’s Sword, the Ice Holy Sword also drifted to the Akasha continent, disappearing in the springs for over eleven thousand years.

Today, that empire has fallen, and the kingdom once affiliated has decayed, losing its original status.

And now in the springs, only six sub-Holy Swords remain, guarded by both great empires like the Holy Sword, each managed by the six great kingdoms as their inherited national relic.

Upon knowing this, Reiger couldn’t help but realize.

"No wonder that National Guardian Divine Weapon, though possessing power akin to the Holy Sword, unlike Moslo’s Sword, doesn’t bring overwhelming pressure to me."

When using the Ice Holy Sword, Charity indeed exudes an ancient and mysterious aura like Liz wielding Moslo’s Sword, bursting with incredible power. However, in terms of oppressive force, the Ice Holy Sword falls short compared to Moslo’s Sword.

Reiger originally thought this was due to the Ice Holy Sword being a retainer’s sword, inferior to Moslo’s Sword, a king’s sword, in terms of status.

Only to later understand, the Ice Holy Sword isn’t a true Holy Sword but a defective replica forged to imitate a Holy Sword, lacking the unique iron brought by the first savior as its core material, thus a sub-Holy Sword.

Now, as Pasiphus mentions the sub-Holy Sword, Reiger somewhat becomes aware.

"Could this Holy Sword Rune be a secret treasure crafted in an attempt to recreate the Holy Sword’s power, akin to the sub-Holy Sword?"

Reiger voiced this thought.

"Exactly." Pasiphus nodded forcefully, laughing: "This Holy Sword Rune is not a masterpiece of the dwarf race but was co-researched and crafted by the former three great empires and the three grand Holy Sword Churches."

"Originally, the three great empires and grand Holy Sword Churches aimed to research and create a method enabling ordinary people, those who are not Holy Sword Holders, to wield the power capable of restraining the abyss."

"Yet the Holy Sword’s power is extraordinarily mysterious and profound, unable to be replicated by even the entire dwarf race’s effort forged sub-Holy Sword, naturally leading the three great empires and the grand Holy Sword Churches’ research to a failure."

"However, through some unknown crafting procedure and magical technology, this research accidentally produced a kind of crest capable of absorbing the Holy Sword’s power."

"This is the Holy Sword Rune, able to absorb a part of the Holy Sword’s power, transform it, store it, and harness the Holy Sword Power as a secret treasure."

Hearing Pasiphus’s words, Reiger unconsciously touched his finger.

There, hidden away, was a ring.

The ring engraved with mysterious runes had an archaic appearance.

It was indeed the treasured inheritance of the Reinnaier clan that Reiger had once received from Liz—the Hero’s Ring.

"The effect of the Hero’s Ring is absorbing one’s own and others’ power, storing it inside, the stored power is amplified tens and even hundreds of times, once unleashed, forms a destructive torrent to defeat everything."

Reiger fixated on the Holy Sword Rune, his mind stirred.

"Could the crafting principle of the Hero’s Ring be inspired by the Holy Sword Rune?"

Reiger has a feeling his speculation might be correct.

If so, then the creation of the Hero’s Ring holds many intricate details to delve into.

And once this speculation is confirmed, Reiger’s purpose in coming to Nanelga, and the guess formed after understanding the springs’ history, will likewise be verified. 𝑓𝑟𝑒𝘦𝓌𝑒𝑏𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝘭.𝒸𝘰𝑚

"...This should be a precious secret treasure, right?"

Reiger casually addressed Pasiphus and Lilicia with these words.

But it was Melo who responded to Reiger’s words.

"The Holy Sword Rune is a treasure born under extremely accidental circumstances and cannot be newly crafted since its inception." Melo looked at Lilicia and Pasiphus, squinting his eyes, saying: "There are only thirteen Holy Sword Runes in existence, over half of which have lost track with the passage of time."

"Even in Careadohart’s treasury, such an ancient and rare secret treasure is absent."

"Unexpectedly, Segelros actually owns one."

The implication is that Segelros’s sincerity is quite substantial.

Such ancient and rare secret treasure has been generously given to Reiger, considered a significant gesture.

"This secret treasure in anyone else’s hands won’t hold much significance; only in the hands of someone like you, a Holy Sword Holder, can it realize its maximum power." Pasiphus chuckled: "These are Father’s exact words, you know?"

Indeed, while the Holy Sword Rune is extraordinary, it cannot generate Holy Sword Power on its own.

If placed in someone else’s hands, once the Holy Sword Power within the rune is exhausted, it becomes merely ornamental without effect.

But in Reiger’s possession, who holds the Holy Sword and can replenishing the Holy Sword Power within the rune anytime, the Holy Sword Rune becomes a potent secret treasure.

"Here." Lilicia stuffed the box into Reiger’s hand, teasingly: "Why don’t you try it yourself?"

Reiger didn’t stand on ceremony, picking up the transparent crest and using identification magic, learning its application.

According to the feedback from the identification magic, the Holy Sword Rune can be integrated into any part of the body and, unless that part is chopped off, the Holy Sword Rune will not be lost.

Reiger thought for a moment, pressing the transparent crest onto the back of his left hand.

"Buzz!"

In the next moment, the transparent crest merged into Reiger’s hand back, disappearing.

And appearing on Reiger’s hand back was a red pattern formed by the intersection of three Holy Swords.

"Marfa."

Reiger spoke without looking up.

"Clang!"

Tied around Reiger’s waist, Marfa’s Sword immediately emitted a glow.

"Holy Sword Marfa..."

Witnessing this, whether the originally playful Segelros siblings or the serious Quelles didn’t refrain from showing emotional excitement.

Beluti’s eyes lit up, akin to a devout follower witnessing the manifest of faith’s deity, very moved, she clasped her hands to her chest, making a prayer gesture.

Reiger, accustomed to this phenomenon, completely ignored it, and indeed Marfa’s Sword similarly disregarded them, autonomously radiating brilliance.

The radiance lazily yet submissively flowed into Reiger’s body, traversed within, and then infused into the Holy Sword Rune on Reiger’s left hand back.

In no time, the Holy Sword Rune illuminated continuously, as if having come to life.

Previously, these patterns were a light red, appearing somewhat worn-out, like peeled paint.

Yet with the infusion of the Holy Sword Power, the light red pattern deepened, becoming a prominent deep red.

Reiger could perceive that the Holy Sword’s power was stored within these patterns, ready for deployment.

He could release this force directly or convert it into Magic Power, used to strengthen himself and enhance his power, or to fortify others and boost their power.

If there were attendants or contract-bound subjects, Reiger could channel this Magic Power remotely via their connection, influencing the contract subject.

Realizing this, Reiger suddenly was taken aback.

It somewhat seemed that the Holy Sword Rune’s function was similar to...

"Command Seal?"

Reiger was a bit speechless.
