Chapter 146: 145 “Hero” and “Holy Sword” (Please subscribe! Seeking Monthly tickets!) At this time, Shane also redirected his gaze back to the princess. Luoqi was sizing up Shane, and as he looked over, their gazes immediately met. This caused both of them to pause for an instant, but neither averted their eyes right away; instead, they locked gazes. Luoqi seemed to hope to discern something from this. Shane’s thoughts were simpler; since it wasn’t a loss to him and she was quite a treat for the eyes, he might as well keep looking. As a result, both were reluctant to look away, staring intently at each other, as if engaged in a standoff, neither willing to concede. This left Vivian, who was beside them, wanting to say something but unable to find the opportunity. It wasn’t until a while later... “Do the matters you wish to discuss with me have anything to do with him?” Luoqi shifted her gaze and asked Vivian softly. “Yes,” Vivian let out a silent sigh of relief and continued, “His identity is somewhat special. Depending on the situation, it might even involve the balance among the three clans, so that’s why I brought him to meet Your Highness.” “The balance among the three clans...” Luoqi’s beautiful eyebrows furrowed slightly as she fell silent. Vivian turned her gaze to Shane, her expression becoming unparalleled in seriousness. “Up until now, I haven’t confirmed with you, nor have I asked about your origins. I only have some speculations about your identity.” Vivian finally said these words to Shane. “You must have noticed, right?” At that, Shane fell silent. Of course, he had noticed this. Whether it was Vivian or Riley, both must have guessed something about Shane’s identity, otherwise, they would not have been so devoted to helping him and cleaning up after him. Furthermore, both of them deliberately did not delve into some of the questions left by Shane, which was an indirect proof. These matters, Shane might not have voiced, but he certainly was clear about them in his heart. Thus, Shane had long known that Riley, Vivian, and possibly even Tielle might have guessed his identity. “If you do not wish to speak, we will not pry. After all, this is a significant matter; we can understand,” Vivian’s voice was very gentle as she spoke to Shane, “But now, we suspect it’s time for us to speak frankly about things. Otherwise, we cannot make any progress.” Shane would not fail to comprehend the meaning of these words. “Let me ask you formally once, Shane.” Vivian approached Shane, looked him directly in the eyes, and spoke word by word. “Are you the Hero?” Once these words were out, the entire room’s atmosphere changed. It was no longer as quiet and comfortable as before but became filled with tension. Luoqi also seemed to realize something, her gaze firmly fixed on Shane. Shane, under their direct gaze, fell silent again. The room instantly became very still. Luoqi and Vivian both awaited Shane’s response. Shane, amid a whirlwind of emotions, considered various matters. How long this situation lasted, no one knew. “Huff...” At a certain moment, Shane exhaled. However, Shane did not respond verbally but instead chose to prove himself with his actions. “Whoosh!” In that instant, Shane loosened the bundle slung over his shoulder, flung it into his hand, and forcefully unraveled the bundle, allowing what was inside to appear in the air. “Clang!” With a burst of dazzling, resplendent light flashing by, the Holy Sword, both ornate and brilliant, was held tightly in Shane’s hand, presented in front of Luoqi and Vivian. At the same time, Shane’s aura—or perhaps his presence—was surging at a startling speed, swelling rapidly. “...!” “...!” Luoqi and Vivian both felt a terrifying presence emerge in the space, causing their hearts to tighten as they observed the Holy Sword held in Shane’s grasp, each reacting differently. “As expected...” Vivian murmured with mixed feelings. “...” Luoqi looked at the Holy Sword and then at Shane, whose aura was surging after grasping the Holy Sword, to the point where even she felt pressured. Her wine-red eyes held a completely different expression than before. Luoqi finally understood why Vivian had come to find her. Because this was indeed a very difficult matter to handle. But Luoqi said nothing, just fell silent for a moment, and then she moved to the wall and took hold of her Holy Sword. The next second, something happened that even Shane had not anticipated. “Unsealing (Heresu)!” All of a sudden, Luoqi chanted a brief spell, causing the Holy Sword in her hand to tremble abruptly. Immediately afterward, the surface of the Holy Sword seemed to slide open like moving armor, fitting together layer by layer, until it finally formed a sword ring around the hilt. Seeing this, Shane understood. So, there was a “sheath” on the Holy Sword. That “sheath” had sealed away the true power and appearance of the Holy Sword, which is why it had appeared so plain and unremarkable before. Now, the Holy Sword revealed its true form. Shane looked on. A golden hilt. At the top of the hilt was a gemstone, also golden. The blade was pure white and dazzling, with light always swirling around it. That was the true form of the Holy Sword in Luoqi’s hand. “It’s identical...” That’s right. The Holy Sword, identical to Shane’s own Holy Sword in every way. Except... ========== [Holy Sword] ·Exclusive: Mitra. ·Level +50. ·All Skill Levels +5. ·All types of Damage Reduction: 50%. ·Significant reduction in all negative statuses. ·Sharpness is top-level. ·Durability is extremely high. ·Deals significant damage to beings of Evil Nature. ·Has the effect to Expel Evil Nature Power. ·Limited to specific users, cannot be discarded, cannot be destroyed. ========== Shane’s Identification Skill revealed this information to him, telling him that there were differences between this Holy Sword and his own. This difference was apparent once both Holy Swords were exposed to the air; the brilliance emanating from Shane’s Holy Sword was far more dazzling than the light from Luoqi’s Holy Sword. Of course, now was not the time to worry about such things. Now, there was only one thing that needed attention. That was the encounter between the Hero from the Otherworld and the modern Hero, here in the Royal Palace’s Princess’s bedroom. A man and a woman, each holding a dazzling Holy Sword, looked at each other for a long time without speaking. Vivian, on the side, watched this scene and suddenly felt something. (These two might be the center of the chaos that’s about to unfold.) Vivian had a premonition. And then... “Tell me.” Luoqi spoke up. “What exactly happened?” Shane and Vivian exchanged glances. In the end, it was Shane who spoke first. “Actually...” So, Shane began to explain what had happened to him.
