  Chapter 205: An unexpected name {TL: By Creed} "Hey, hey, what are we doing for lunch today? I really want pancakes with lots of honey. Of course, the kind with a generous serving of fruit and cream." The next day. We went out into town, but Licorice was acting as usual. She seemed to be thinking about lunch, flying around with sparkling eyes. Is she really feeling down? I couldn’t help but wonder. But... This is probably just a front. We've been together long enough for me to tell. I have to do my best to help her cheer up for real. "We’ll talk about lunch later. First, let’s head to the weapon shop." "Oh, are you getting a new sword, Fate?" "No. I want to see if they can repair it." "Hmm... I don’t think that’s gonna be possible, though." And Licorice was right. "Sorry, but this is beyond my skill." We went to the weapon shop and asked if they could repair the Snow Crystal Sword, but... That was the an...

  Chapter 204 I'm sorry {TL: By Creed} "I'm sorry." In the inn room, I bowed my head to Licorice. In front of me lay the broken Snow Crystal Sword. This wasn't just any sword. It was a sword left behind by Licorice's friend. That made it incredibly important. And yet, despite being entrusted with it, I had broken it like this... I felt so guilty toward Licorice and her friend that all I could do was bow my head. "Ah... so it broke, huh." Licorice's tone was surprisingly flat. "Oi, oi, oi, big brother, how are you gonna make up for this?" Suddenly, her tone and way of speaking changed. Surprised, I lifted my head, only to see Licorice glaring at me. "This here’s a legendary sword worth thousands of gold coins, y’know? And you went and snapped it? Huh? How do you plan to compensate me, huh? Oi, oi?" "I-I’m sorry...?" "‘Sorry’ ain’t gonna cut it! If an apology was enough, we wouldn’t need knights, ya...

  Chapter 203: What is Snow's true identity? {TL: By Creed} Since Lena had withdrawn, the turmoil on Blue Island quickly subsided. Snow returned to normal... The rioters decreased in number, and almost all were apprehended. Thus, the incident was resolved, but the damage was severe. Many people were hurt, many buildings were destroyed. The death toll was not small, either. Why did Lena cause such a tragedy? She talked about making a new magic sword by driving Snow into a frenzy… But sacrificing a whole town for that? That's absolutely unacceptable. Next time we meet… "I have to find out what she's really planning." I can't just leave Lena alone. I can't ignore the Dawn Alliance. Someday… With that resolve in mind, I made my decision. ―――――――――― That aside. Now that the city's recovery had settled down, a new issue arose regarding Snow. Many people had witnessed Snow going berserk. Won Shouldn't she be dealt with ? What exactly is that...

Chapter 202: That's a lie {TL: By Creed} "No way..." A sudden voice from a third party. Turning around in a hurry, I saw Lena standing there. Her usual smile was nowhere to be seen. Her eyes were wide open, as if she was utterly shocked. "She should have completely fallen... I've never heard of anyone returning from that state... I was supposed to obtain the fallen divine beast, and with it, I could have created a new cursed sword..." "Lena!" The first to act was Sofia. She immediately switched targets and slashed at Lena with her holy sword. "Tch!" Almost by reflex alone, Lena managed to block Sofia's attack. However, the mental shock seemed to have taken a toll on her—her movements lacked sharpness. She was struggling just to defend against Sofia's relentless strikes, her face twisted in frustration. "I'm surprised you even dared to show yourself! I'll cut you down right here and now!!!" "Ugh...

  Chapter 201: Shall we go home? {TL: By Creed} When I turned around, there was Aisha with Licorice perched on her head. Why is she here!? Panicking, I looked at Licorice, who met my gaze and made a "sorry, sorry" gesture. I was about to complain... But then, Licorice gently patted Aisha’s head. "Trust this girl." With those words, I couldn't say anything else. Just like how we were worried about Snow, Aisha was concerned too. She wanted to do something about it. I had forgotten something so obvious. "..." I wanted to run over immediately and take her somewhere safe. But that wasn't necessarily the right choice. What I needed to do was watch over Aisha. "Snow." Aisha took a step forward, moving closer to Snow. Licorice trembled slightly on her head, seeming frightened… Well, I decided to pretend I didn't see that. "Grr...!" "It's okay." Snow growled in warning, but Aisha didn't run away....

  Chapter 200: Family {TL: By Creed} "Snow!!!" "Uuuuuu......" Snow let out a conflicted growl. She looked at me with the same affectionate eyes as always... But then, madness took over, and a murderous intent filled them. That cycle repeated, throwing Snow into complete emotional instability. It was a relief to know that there was still a chance to reach Snow with words. But emotional instability was a problem. It meant an increased chance of losing control, which was far from ideal. I needed to bring Snow back to her senses somehow... "…Fate." Sofia had a stern expression as she gripped her holy sword. "If it comes down to it... I will cut Snow down." "Sofia!?" "Even with an extraordinary regeneration ability, it’s still incomplete. Right now, I can still cut her down." "No, Sofia! Snow is one of us! And yet...!" "It’s because Snow is one of us." Sofia’s face was filled with unwavering reso...

  Chapter 199: I can't give up {TL: By Creed} "Regeneration!" "And at such an absurd speed… This isn't just natural healing." Sofia's expression turned grim. I understood why. In this world, there are all sorts of monsters, and some possess a special ability known as natural healing. As the name suggests, it allows their wounds to heal naturally. However, no matter how powerful a monster is, if its leg is cut off, it usually takes several days to heal. But what Snow just displayed—recovering in less than ten seconds—was impossible. "This is beyond extraordinary!" Sofia swung her sword, blocking Snow’s charge. In that moment, I slashed at Snow’s leg once again. This time, my blade went through. But the result remained the same. Just like with Sofia, Snow’s wound healed instantly. "At this rate, how are we supposed to neutralize it…?" "If we had time, we could set a trap, but that’s not an option right now." ...

  Chapter 198: One move is missing {TL: By Creed} "Grrrrr...!" Snow rose to its feet, its eyes filled with anger, glaring in our direction. Sofia’s sudden interference was unexpected, but it helped draw enough aggro. "Sofia, turn your back and run toward the beach." "Huh? We're running away?" "Yeah. In its current state, if we turn our backs and flee, it'll gladly chase us. On the other hand, if we try to confront it head-on, it might get cautious and escape." It was just like dealing with a wild animal. If the prey seemed weaker, the predator would go all out. If the opponent appeared equal or stronger, retreat was an option. "I see, so monsters have such instincts as well. Impressive as always, Fate." "I learned it during my time as a slave. For better or worse, that experience is proving useful now." Life has a way of making even the worst experiences useful. "But Sofia, you didn't know about th...

Chapter  197: It's Mine {TL: By Creed} Sofia's front paw loomed before me. It was incredibly fast—and enormous. Escaping now would be difficult. Then, I have no choice but to block it! I braced myself, gripping my sword… Clang! A shadow suddenly intervened. Flowing hair that swayed in the wind. A beauty so divine, I wondered if this was what a goddess looked like. And eyes stronger than anyone’s. "Sofia!?" "What are you doing to my Fate!!!" Out of nowhere, Sofia appeared and effortlessly blocked Snow’s strike. But she didn’t stop there. With a furious expression, she launched a counterattack. First, she deflected the front paw— Then, spinning swiftly, she delivered an upward kick as if scything from below. It was an unbelievable sight, but… Snow was sent flying. "No way..." Even though Sofia was much smaller, she had just knocked back the rampaging Snow. Was this the power of a Sword Saint? It was reassuring… But also a little...

  Chapter 196: Battle with the Myths {TL: By Creed} Snow is so large that I have to look up to see it. And yet, it moves swiftly, like the wind. It’s not launching any clear attacks—just rampaging. Even so, adventurers and knights are being scattered. Buildings are collapsing, and fountains are being trampled underfoot. "I have to do something...!" If we fight here, how much damage will the surroundings suffer? Even if we manage to stop Snow, it will be meaningless if half the city is destroyed. "First, I need to draw its attention!" I timed my move and stepped forward. Gripping my sword’s hilt tightly—tightly— "Hazan!!!" I unleashed the technique I was most familiar with, the one with the greatest power. Am I overdoing it? Not a concern. Zero. If anything, this isn't enough. I need to launch an even stronger attack, or I won’t reach Snow as it is now. That instinct was correct— My blade couldn’t even cut Snow’s fur; it was like striking with a blunt w...
