Chapter 36: Chapter 36 Magic Sword, Apophis!

Fifteen years ago, the Sword King was just a junior member of the team.

During a mission, however, his team encountered a magic sword.

Apophis!

This was the strange form of the magic sword.

Killing, cutting, and drinking human blood improved the sword’s strength.

On that day, all the members died on the spot.

The captain had used his own life and Apophis to self-destruct in an attempt to defeat the magic swordfish.

However, the shocking thing was that the captain died on the spot but Apophis was still on his last breath.

The trembling Sword King in the corner instantly stopped trembling.

His heartbeat suddenly became very intense.

He knew that this was an opportunity for him!

It was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity that was hard to come by!

Therefore, the Sword King seized the opportunity.

“Apophis, although I’m weak, I can take your life at any time now.

“Even if I kill you, I can still get a big reward.

“But, I’d like to discuss a business deal with you.”

The Sword King’s voice could not hide his trembling, but he still said it clearly, word by word.

Apophis had a terrifying skull on the hilt of his sword, and the green light in the skull’s eyes was flickering faintly.

Obviously, Apophis understood the Sword King’s intention.

Moreover, he also understood the current situation.

“I, Apophis, am willing to serve you as my Lord, submit to you, and never betray you.

“If the Lord dies, then I, too, will submit to death.”

After the oath was made, the trembling Sword King immediately accepted Apophis’s submission.

From then on, Apophis had changed his appearance and continued to exist in the world.

He became this huge simple and unadorned iron sword in the Sword King’s hands.

From then on, the Sword King rose to the top, and his strength increased by leaps and bounds.

His current position as the head of the Sarkos branch was more or less obtained with the help of Apophis.

Not only that, this was all obtained without using his final trump card.

If he could easily use this move in front of Rei, then he could definitely advance to B-class.

However, the price of this move was too great.

Unless it was absolutely necessary, he would not easily use it.

Today was the day that this move was absolutely necessary.

…

The sword released a tremendous power, causing even heaven and earth to change color.

The entire earth was trembling!

Everyone in Sarkos City saw this scene. A huge sword in the form of light descended from the sky and pierced straight into the dormitory building of Tensley University.

In an instant, everyone’s expression changed.

On the rooftop, the Sword King, who had aged ten years, held the huge sword in his hand and panted heavily.

[Fear points: +3,000.]

He looked at the unscathed scarecrow in front of him, and then at the branch member beside the scarecrow who had turned into ashes. His face was filled with shock.

“No, this is impossible!

“This is absolutely impossible!

“I know, this is an illusion! Watch me break it!”

However, the pendant on the Sword King’s chest did not react at all.

If the Sword King was really in an illusion, this necklace would help him break any illusion easily.

However, the necklace was just hanging quietly on his chest.

The Sword King saw this and slumped onto the ground dejectedly.

It was not an illusion.

Seeing the scarecrow approaching him step by step, the Sword King’s eyes were about to bleed. He said angrily, “Why? You can even divert the damage of such a strong attack. I don’t understand!”

The scarecrow did not answer his question. Instead, his eyes were fixed on the magic sword in his hand that was gradually shedding its outer shell and revealing its original form.

“I’d like to discuss a business deal with you.” The scarecrow grinned.

At this moment, the Sword King and the magic sword, Apophis, trembled.

Although fifteen years had passed since this sentence was said, to the Sword King and Apophis, it was something that they would never forget for the rest of their lives.

Now, this sentence actually came out from the mouth of the scarecrow in front of them.

The eyes of the skeleton on the hilt of Apophis’s sword shone with a dark green light once again, as if it was responding to the words of the scarecrow.

The Sword King could not stop his body from trembling.

Apophis was like his life.

If he lost this magic sword, then the Sword King would lose everything.

His status, strength, and the respect of the other members would all vanish into thin air.

However, while the Sword King hesitated, Flanders frowned slightly and stretched out his slender straw finger, piercing through the Sword King’s ear.

[Fear points: +3,500.]

The piercing pain made the Sword King cry out in agony.

Fear could not stop surging from the bottom of his heart.

He knew that if he did not agree right away, what he would have to face next would be endless torture and death that would eventually come.

Without giving him too much time to think, the scarecrow had already raised his other hand.

This time, it was aimed at the Sword King’s eyes.

He watched as the slender, sharp scarecrow finger slowly approached his pupils.

The fear in the Sword King’s heart was also constantly magnifying.

“No, I can’t lose Apophis, I can’t lose him!

“I’ll give you whatever you want. Money, I’ll give you money! I have five million in savings!

“I’ll let you be the head of the Sarkos branch!

“Oh right, the necklace! I still have the necklace! I’ll give you the necklace, too!

“I still have my subordinates. The lives of these subordinates are all given to you. You can obtain a huge promotion by killing them!”

The frenzied words kept coming out of the Sword King’s mouth.

On the rooftop, many of the members who were still alive saw that their boss was actually planning to betray them. They looked at the panicking ten-years-older man in front of them in disbelief.

At this moment, they could no longer recognize this man.

However, Flanders did not have the slightest intention of stopping.

His straw fingers continued to inch toward the Sword King’s eyes.

Flanders deliberately slowed down his movements.

What he wanted was for the Sword King to feel this intense pressure.

Only by doing this could he raise the Sword King’s fear to its maximum.

Only by doing this could he completely break the Sword King’s psychological defenses.

Finally, just as his fingertip was about to touch the Sword King’s eyeballs, the Sword King finally accepted his fate.

“I’ll give it to you! I’ll give it to you!

“Damn it, I’ll give the sword to you! Stop it now!”

The moment his voice rang, Flanders stopped inching his finger forward—the tip of his finger just one millimeter away from the Sword King’s eyes.

Although the straw finger in front of him had finally stopped moving, the Sword King did not relax at all.

He knew that if he hesitated any longer, he definitely would not be able to keep his name.

“I…am willing to give up Apophis’s submission to me.”

In an instant, a ball of light flew out from the Sword King’s brows and landed on Apophis’s hilt.

As for Flanders, he slowly turned his head and looked at the magic sword that had completely returned to its original form.

The skull on the magic sword glowed brightly instantly, feeling a kind of joy that was once lost and now recovered.

However, Apophis did not hesitate for too long before giving Flanders the answer he wanted.

“I am willing to serve you as my Lord, submit to you, and never betray you.

“If the Lord dies, then I will die!”
