Summoned and Unwanted-Chapter 758 - The legendary sword Elsie
758 The legendary sword Elsie
The sleeping Lupa was safe. The vines covering her body could take one hit from the remaining gladiators. Such protection was enough for now.
Vincent turned around. He saw Awa’s body recuperating. He slightly moved his gaze and saw Ester holding the shining blade while looking at the sword with a dark blade in front of her with a puzzled expression.

Elsir had recovered from its cooldown, and the sword Luciano gave to Ester awaked similar to Elsir.
Additionally, both swords are now linked and can share their cooldown. Elsir now has its dormant state reduced by half, and because Elsie does not have Equivalent Trade, Elsie will not enter a dormant state like Elsir will.
Ester a mysterious tingling entering her hand. With a puzzled expression on her face, she extended her hand curiously.
Ester grabbed Elsie’s hilt and held the dark blade. “Huh?” Her eyes widened in surprise the moment she felt the tingling in her hand become slightly potent and mysteriously soothing.
Ester didn’t know what was happening. She didn’t know mana in the air touching the blade and entering inside the blade was being transferred to her. The pleasant feeling made Ester faintly reveal a smile.
In the royal area, Luciano started laughing out of the blue. The king, Anna, Bilka, Karta, and Vlad, saw Luciano become cheerful.
They thought it was because his granddaughter survived, but that was not all of it. Luciano was reassured to see Ester unharmed. He was also ecstatic to see the sword he gave to Ester awaken.
“Did you give your granddaughter the artifact-grade sword knowing it would activate and save their lives?” The king asked.
“What I gave my granddaughter was an ordinary sword. ” Luciano responded while shrugging his shoulders as if he was trying to hide details about the sword.
Karta noticed her teacher in magic was responding vaguely. “That means Ester passed the test.” She said while trying to fish for answers.
“Yes. She is my granddaughter.” Luciano responded before looking at the dark sword in Ester’s hand keenly and thinking, ‘Son, even though she is not your biological daughter, you raised a good daughter. I am proud of you.’
On the other side of the arena was Darwin staring at the two swords in Ester’s hands. He was astonished Ester had named weapons. He also wondered how Ester could possess such priceless weapons and why did she use them now instead of at the beginning of her fight.
“Ladies and gentlemen! So many events transpired in a matter of seconds!” The commentator exclaimed after he could digest what happened and comment about it.
“The Lionheart family ambushed Bloody while Awa Lionheart was the one who dealt the final blow. As this was occurring, Vincent Lionheart suddenly caused Punchingbag’s body to produce bulges and explode. Vincent Lionheart then shoved his arm, burning with a mysterious green flame and causing what appeared to be an internal explosion.
“In these few seconds apart, the second gladiator on the five noble families’ side lost their life. However, it was not time to rejoice for the Lionheart team as a bizarre thing occurred.”
“The corpse of Bloody suddenly shot what appeared to be acidic yellow projectiles at Vincent, Ester, Lupa, and Awa Lionheart.”
“In this dangerous moment, Lupa Lionheart used the attack to her advantage. She mysteriously evaded the projectiles as they kept moving until hitting Speedy.”
“Lupa Lionheart attacked, but when each attack was blocked, she attacked in an area no man wishes to be attacked in. After landing such a deadly attack, Lupa Lionheart viciously ripped Speedy’s neck, resulting in his death.”
“Awa Lionheart suffered from the projectiles, but her mysterious shade body is mysteriously recovering. She pushed Ester Lionheart away, but it was not enough to protect her completely. ”
“At such a critical moment, the two swords Ester Lionheart wielded changed in color. The dark one protected Vincent Lionheart while the shining one protected Ester Lionheart.”
The commentator stopped to take a breath *Phew* before continuing, “In mere seconds, the three gladiators named Speedy, Bloody, and Punchingbag have been defeated.”
Darwin looked at the representative. He saw him nervously looking back at him.
As if to taunt him, Darwin snapped his finger, and a royal soldier approached him.
“Prepare the finest slave contract you can find.” Darwin mockingly smirked at the representative. “I have a good feeling I will need to use it, hehe.”
The representative’s face became pale. The situation wasn’t very favorable for the team he was representing. Even though Lupa was considered defeated since she went to sleep, the Lionheart team had more fighters than their opposing team.
It was four fighters, a weak plant familiar, and a strong Dullahan familiar versus two strong gladiators and a strong familiar. However, the numbers did not matter much, as everyone was injured, tired, or exhausted. One serious mistake could change the outcome drastically.
While the commentator was summarizing the result of the clash and the death of the three gladiators, Vincent approached Ester and Awa.
“Awa, are you uninjured?” He worriedly asked while watching her shadow-like injured body reconstruct.
Awa gently shook her head. “I... I can feel pain, but my body will recover soon. You do not need to worry about me much. I am a strong Dullahan. I can take it.”
*Sigh* “You heard that, Ester? She is a lot like you.” Vincent teased to lighten the mood by a little.
“Ahem!” Ester cleared her throat to change the subject.
“Vincent, do you know why my heirloom sword Elsir is like this?” Ester moved her puzzled gaze onto Elsie and continued, “What is this black sword? I can feel it giving me a strange yet pleasant tingling feeling from my hand to my body.”
Vincent moved his gaze to the royal area. “Kazumi and I believe the old man who gave you the sword is somehow connected to your biological father.”
[Yeah. It is a shame we can not see his real information.]
*Gasp* “W-w-what!” Ester exclaimed. She never expected to encounter someone related to the owner of the heirloom sword her mother was given as a birth gift.
“The sword awakened like Elsir, and its name is Elsie. A very similar name, right?” Vincent pointed at Elsie. “Furthermore, the creator of both swords is the same. The dark sword is bound to you as well.”
*Gasp* Ester was at a loss for words. Not even in her wildest dreams did she ever imagine owning a weapon like Elsir, more than owning two weapons people would kill for in one lifetime.
“Ester. We can talk later about the details. All you need to know is that the new sword in your hand has the power to absorb mana, similar to my gauntlets. The tingling feeling might be because the mana is entering your body from the link with Elsie.”
Ester looked at Elsie. “I can also absorb mana?”
.....
“Yes. You can absorb or disrupt mana from temporarily gathering like my gauntlets with the new sword.”
“AHEM! Mind helping me a little? These two lumps of the flesh are annoying me.”
After hearing Mimi’s request for assistance to beat the last two surviving gladiators, Vincent, Ester, and Awa turned their gaze to her. 𝑓𝒓e𝑒w𝑒𝒃𝑛𝒐𝘃ℯ𝙡. c𝚘m
*Crack, crack* Vincent cracked his neck and clenched his fists. “I will help Mimi. You girls take the potion and help Night take care of the oversized bear.”
Ester and Awa nodded. They saw Vincent sprint toward Meaty. It appeared Vincent chose to fight the opponent, giving Mimi the most challenging time because of his toughness.
Ester took out her potion. She removed the cork from the vial and gulped the potion down. Her injured leg and aching body were feeling better at the cost of feeling more tired than before.
Awa had seen Vincent give Lupa his potion, and they did not go against the rules of one potion per person.
