Chapter 23-1
Sion immediately recognized its identity and approached slowly.
More than half of the blade was embedded in the flat rock.
To make matters worse, rusty chains were wrapped around the sword in various places, as if they had taken every precaution to prevent anyone from drawing the sword.
The black hilt, the tip of the blade tinted with a dull color, and the blade forged in a deep purple.
Thinking of the hidden location and its description, it was undoubtedly the Exceed Rain.
‘Only that person can enter here.’
The person who had used the two swords had the power of El Tesoikve, and had left behind the method of wielding Exceed Rain.
Sion also had the power of El Tesoikve, which made him qualified for this.
‘All this money just for this one thing.’
Sion put down the bag he had brought and took out the demon glove.
Although it was now just an old glove, when it came into contact with a certain substance, the hidden power inside would be unleashed.
With that power, Sion planned to awaken Exceed Rain and release the seal.
‘After I’m done with it, maybe I’ll sell it for half the price.’
Sion looked down at the glove and immediately put his right hand inside.
It was not easy to move his fingers, as the glove was loose enough to fit the size of the demon.
Of course, even with just this, he would be able to grip the hilt of Exceed Rain.
‘If it breaks, I won’t be able to sell it.’
Sion took off the glove and pulled out a dagger.
He carefully cut his pinky finger in his left hand and put the glove back on.
Sion put pressure on his pinky finger and dropped a drop of blood towards the glove.
Then, the glove absorbed the drop of blood and began to vibrate slightly, emitting a black aura.
It was reacting to evil magic because it was infused with the blood of a living person.
Sion moved his glove again and reached out his right hand towards Exceed Rain.
Normally, evil magic would try to engulf his body, but due to magic erosion immunity, he wasn’t affected by it.
More accurately, it was the holy power of El Tesoikve that was blocking the evil magic.
As Sion’s glove touched Exceed Rain, it no longer vibrated. At the same time, the chains that bound Exceed Rain shook slightly.
The rock that had swallowed Exceed Rain’s blade suddenly cracked at some point and created a small gap.
Sion tried to pull out the sword while feeling nervous.
However, the chains began to snap one by one, and the rocks split apart completely with a loud noise. Sion quickly took a step back, holding Exceed Rain in his hand, and wondered if he was going to be crushed.
Exceed Rain still didn’t show any reaction, but there was a loud noise in the cave. Although similar things had happened when Exceed Rain escaped, it exceeded his expectations.
‘Let’s get out of here.’
Sion quickly turned around and hurled himself towards the entrance. Suddenly, he found himself back in the original forest, and the vibration and noise stopped instantly.
The magic wall was no longer visible, and the dense trees that had been around them had disappeared completely.
Sion looked around and instinctively looked down at Exceed Rain. Exceed Rain was absorbing all the magic flowing from the glove, and at the same time, the color of the glove was fading bit by bit.
‘320 pieces of gold coins are flying away like this.’
Sion held Exceed Rain with his left hand and lightly waved his right hand.
Then the glove he was wearing was completely stripped off by inertia and fell to the ground.
The glove of the demon beast shattered into pieces with a grayish color, as if it had lost all of its magical power.
‘It still seems calm.’
Sion looked at Exceed Rain while gathering his magical power around both hands.
As expected, Exceed Rain could not control his mind and even withstand magical power erosion.
It meant that he had become the owner of Exceed Rain and could even use it’s unique ability if he had enough magical power.
‘Can I get back before lunchtime if I go like this?’
Sion condensed his magical power on the hilt of the sword and let it go.
Then Exceed Rain seemed to fall and soon disappeared.
Since he gained the authority to use Exceed Rain, the summoning and dismissal functions had been added.
‘I need to find an excuse.’
