While I was thinking about my fate as a successor of stealth slime herd, which would bear the burden of the stealth slime herd that was under the control of my Soul Tame magic spell, I was immediately surprised by a sudden attack from the cursed sword.

The flash of its black blade that emitted black electric sparks immediately hit my body.

When its sharp blade almost hit me, I immediately pulled my sword to block and parry the direction of its sword that was shooting toward my body.

Ting...

Praann!!

The bang of my katana’s sharp blade with the cursed sword’s sharp blade created a small spark of fire from the two sharp blades that were polished well in regular maintenance.

The cursed sword’s eyes widened after seeing the attack of its sharp blade successfully blocked and parried by the sharp blade of my katana.

The small sparks that grew bigger made my arms feel very heavy.

Even though I got a Quest to parry attacks from cursed swords, I didn’t know that the attacks given by cursed swords felt this heavy.

"... Nice parry..."

"... I like this game..."

"... Let’s play more seriously..."

The cursed sword seemed to be enjoying this game.

Compared to a game, isn’t this like a fight that will continue until one of us loses?

Then... why do I have to endure for five minutes?

What is the meaning of all these Quests and games, O Goddess Aurora?

[ Nothing, just buying time until your Goddess returns with the Goddess of Destruction. ]

"Hahahhh... this makes me feel pressured if I follow her game more seriously, Goddess Aurora," I replied while whispering to Goddess Aurora.

Baaamm!!

An explosion of dense, black magical energy immediately enveloped the cursed sword’s body and made the sharp blade of the sword covered in a mass of pitch-black magical energy.

[ Oh, this is interesting! ]

[ I didn’t know this cursed sword could use the divine curse power possessed by my cute Little Sister. ]

"E-Eehh?" Hearing the words of the Goddess Aurora, who sounded very relaxed and did not think about the damage that occurred around my residence, now I understand what Hana felt by making the Goddess Aurora depressed by the original size of her body, which had breasts the size of a cutting board.

[ Lily-chan, I just felt that you were talking about the size of my breasts. ]

[ Even though I couldn’t hear it clearly because it was faint, I almost listened to all of your words in your minds! ]

The tone of the Goddess Aurora’s words sounded like she was sulking at me.

[ I-It doesn’t mean that I don’t care about the damage caused by the cursed sword. I’m worried about the spread of the divine curse that is starting to gather around the cursed sword! ]

[ It’s not my jurisdiction in the responsibility carried out by the cursed sword. ]

[ Therefore, your Goddess is trying to bring the Goddess of Destruction to witness one of the cursed swords that have some of its power to be responsible for the damage it is currently doing! ]

"I understand, Goddess Aurora."

"Please don’t shout by giving me words that start to disrupt my concentration."

Experience exclusive tales on empire

"I’m a little overwhelmed when I have to avoid attacks and parry the heavy attacks given by the cursed sword along with hearing your rambling."

[ Hmmpphh... Lily-chaann... ]

[ Is my voice too annoying that it makes you overwhelmed against such a weak cursed sword? ]

That’s not what the Goddess Aurora thought.

It’s just that...

Tingg!!

Prangg!!

The thud from the sharp edge of my katana again made contact with the sharp edge of the cursed sword.

In a condition like this, I couldn’t divide my two different focuses to listen to the rambling of the Goddess Aurora who was annoyed because of my previous talk in my minds.

For the time being, please be quiet for a moment, oh Goddess Aurora.

The attack launched by the cursed sword slashed my body again and was parried by the sharp edge of my katana which managed to reflect the direction of her attack.

My katana felt very heavy with every swing along with the fast-moving attack movements of the cursed sword.

In my slowed-down vision, I could see the expression on her face that seemed to smile in satisfaction when the two sharp blades of the weapon clashed, testing each other’s endurance.

Pingg...

Tangngg...

Blocking after parry the attack pattern who went faster while my slowed-down vision began to move as if seeing the movement of a fairly fast sword attack.

From the clash of sharp blades of our weapons, not a single one was injured, making my stamina start to scream when I realized that this kind of attack would not end and exhaust my stamina.

Changing the direction of my sword slash to semi-horizontal with a slope approaching a vital hit, I launched an attack that made the cursed sword retreat backward.

My semi-horizontal attack flow was intended for slashing with a high level of efficiency according to Mio.

If I only relied on horizontal slash attacks, it would make the enemy quickly bored and study my attack pattern for the next few steps. The variation of horizontal and semi-horizontal attacks had made the cursed sword keep its distance from me.

"What’s wrong? You’re not going to attack anymore?" I said while opening my defensive stance to lure the direction of the attack that the cursed sword would make.

My wide-open defensive stance seemed to only invite suspicion from the cursed sword because it was hesitant to attack me.

"If you don’t attack, then I will," while saying that sentence, I immediately used Mio’s sword techniques in the form of Sakura Vanish and Sakura Dash.

My distant gaze has now approached the cursed sword with one small step using the Sakura Dash technique. The cherry blossom petals that appeared from nothingness immediately rained down on the cursed sword’s field of vision.

Slaasshh!!

Craasshhh!!

My katana’s sharp eye attack managed to hit the cursed sword’s body, leaving a slash wound that did not bleed from its body. The slash left inside the cursed sword’s body was only a crack like a steel grain that suddenly received heavy pressure.

Slaasshh!!

Craasshh!!

My katana’s sharp eye attack continued until it made my body move actively using the Sakura Dash technique.

Moving my katana attack from the front, side, and back of my body alternately has made the cursed sword have difficulty finding my random attack pattern like this.

Sllaashh...

Craasshh....

Crack after crack has made the cursed sword’s body seem to have suffered a serious wound that made its body full of cracks holes. Without lowering the tempo of my attacks that were flying heavy attacks in follow-up attacks, I immediately varied the attacks with my fists.

Baaammm!!

When I punched her body with my fist, I could feel the pain from punching a hard and heavy object like a solid building wall. The body of the cursed sword was immediately pushed and thrown until it hit the ground leaving a large hole on the ground.

Uuhh... this pain. It feels like punching a wall.

No... this is not a wall.

More precisely... it feels like punching a very hard metal mixture such as Adamantium, Mithril, and Orichalcum with an optimal level of magical energy channeling capacity.

Swiipp...

Swiipp...

Feeling my fist hitting her body leaving a red mark. I immediately waved my hand to relieve the pain that suddenly spread through my fist after hitting her.

"Hey, your body is so hard..."

"What are you made of anyway?" I said while waving my hand I was starting to feel pain from hitting a very hard object.

Kraaassshh...

Srrasshhh...

The punch I gave the cursed sword seemed to have thrown its body until it hit the ground leaving a large hole.

The scattered dust had blocked my line of sight with the body of the cursed sword but I still heard the sound of heavy footsteps walking.

When the cursed sword walked out of the dust that was still scattered, I saw that the wounds that decorated its body were very large. The body that was covered in large cracks on its body came from my fists which seemed to cause more damage than the sharp slashes of my katana.

"... Human girl..."

"... It hurts so much..."

"... But it’s fun..."

With cracks that began to spread throughout its body, the cursed sword tried to keep walking towards me who only suffered a small wound on my fist after punching its body.

Even though the situation here was in the darkness of a winter night that was about to change seasons, I could see a small smile on the cursed sword’s face. She looked like a girl who had just had fun with her body covered in cracks wounds.

"H-Hey, are you okay?"

"Your body won’t be too badly damaged to move after being covered in cracks like that, right?" I asked, filled with worry not to destroy one of the cursed swords personally made by the Goddess of Destruction.

In this awkward and worry-filled situation, I could see that the cursed sword’s body was starting to slowly disintegrate.

The cracked wound that he got slowly fell and revealed her body filled with magic cores that were directly connected to her main body.

The cursed sword looked like it had almost run out of all its magic energy until the body that it formed into something similar to a human girl suddenly collapsed and left a cursed sword floating emitting its remaining magic energy.

"Uhm, is this my victory?" I asked the cursed sword that had returned to its sword form.

"... Human girl..."

Ignoring my question, the cursed sword immediately flew towards me.

"... Be my new Master..."

"Huh?" the sudden question made me immediately speechless.

The figure of the cursed sword that had just brought disaster suddenly wanted to make me its new Master.

This is just a little joke from her, right?
