16 15 – Interacting with the Holy Sword Spirit

"Regardless, the evening draws near. Heroes, you should rest for the night and prepare for departure on the morrow. In the meantime, I will find companions for you from the village below." Aultcray ended the meeting.

That aside, I was aware that I had been the center of attention after entering the throne room. Whatever happened to me made everyone in the room staring at me, whether discreetly or openly. Even Aultcray kept stealing a glance in my direction as he talked.

"Thank you very much."

"Thanks."

The other three thanked Aultcray and exited the throne room. The same maid from my first timeline guided us to our room. However, Motoyasu did not flirt with her this time.

Well, it couldn't be helped. The maid was showing attraction to me, and Motoyasu felt awkward to flirt with her when she did not have an interest in him.

I realized that whatever the [Divinity] had done to me, it had pros and cons. One of the obvious pros was the ease of winning others. Meanwhile, one of the major cons was how attractive I had become; it made men question their sexuality!

(It is a double-edge. Well, I can beat any guy who's hitting on me. Simple...)

At the very least, no idiot was trying to hit me. If someone dared to do so, I wouldn't mind hitting back with my sword.

(Let's see if they can survive a love tap from the Sword God.)

I amused myself by thinking pointless matters. The walk to our rooms was quiet and rather tense. There was no conversation like in my first timeline.

We arrived at the same corridor that connected the guest rooms for the Holy Heroes. I immediately picked the same room from before and told the maid the same thing.

(By the way, do I still need rest and food like normal humans?)

I asked myself a million dollars question as I opened the door.

Since my [Constitution] was through the roof, I was not certain if I needed sleep and food like a normal human.

(Am I still human?)

I questioned myself as I closed the door. I put this pointless matter aside and closed the door. Then, I locked the doors, closed windows, and shut the curtains, after which I erected a barrier that blocked sounds from going out and divination magic.

After maximizing [Job: Enchanter], I knew many tricks and techniques related to enchantments. Erecting a barrier with the soundproof and anti-divination property was a walk in the park.

I sat on the bed, transformed my sword to [Sakura Stone of Destiny Sword], and checked the details; I had no time to do this before because the Time Reversal was triggered. I was sent to this timeline before checking out its details.

Anyway, the details were as follows;

[Sakura Stone of Destiny Sword (AR) (0/500) (Awakened) | unique ability unlocked: Spirit Blessing, Status Chain, Blossom Blaze | equip bonus: Spirit-binding Full Release, Sealing Resistance (Absolute), skill: "Sakura Sphere of Influence"]

[Spirit Blessing: Increases the stats of the hero and the allies by 15%]

[Status Chain: Connecting the base stats and the products of the strengthening methods]

[Blossom Blaze: hurl countless sharp sakura petals. Damage: 0.01% of Magic Attack/petal | Cost: 100 SP/s]

[Spirit-binding Full Release: immunity to the effect of Sakura Stone of Destiny Barrier/Sakura Sphere of Influence]

[Sealing Resistance (Absolute): no sealing methods can seal the hero in this world]

[Skill: Sakura Sphere of Influence: bind the spirits within the area of influence]

I clicked my tongue in displeasure. I thought it would help me to unlock the restrictions on the spirits of the Legendary Weapons, but it was just a counter to the effect of Sakura Stone of Destiny that restrained the power of the spirits. Even so, stats bonuses for my allies, Sealing Resistance (Absolute), Senbonzakura ripoff, and the "Nope!" field, which could render other heroes powerless, were useful bonuses.

I recomposed myself and unlocked more sword variants with my outrageous haul. I hadn't only gotten monster materials; I also got many possessions equipped by people that died by [Meteor Shower] spam. I was ridiculously rich!

A lot of sword variations were unlocked. Then, I mastered, awakened, and increased the rarity of these sword variations. Although my stats had hit the limits, they could still be increased. If not, there wouldn't be the '+' symbol after the value.

I finally finished that chore around midnight. Then, I lied down in the bed and stared at the stainless steel of the Legendary Sword, seeing my reflection for a few moments.

I was silently thinking about my future. I was now the strongest in this world. But, I wasn't confident in my chance if I fought the World-Eater, Pideth Machina. I wouldn't call that thing Medea. It was an insult to Caster Medea from Type-Moon.

(I have been power-leveling like a man possessed and finally hit a bottleneck. I can only break this bottleneck if I move to another world. However, I have to take it easy and enjoy the experience in Isekai. Even though it won't affect my mental state due to [Zen], I shouldn't waste my chance to enjoy the privilege of an Isekai Protagonist! Meaning, I am going to enjoy snu-snu with girls from another world!)

I wasn't ashamed of my lustful nature. Sex was good; it could make me relax. It was healthier than fapping on hentai manga and anime. Well, before I had sex with my ex, I had done that countless times, but I stopped doing it after my first sex.

Speaking of sex and whatnot, I squinted my eyes when I recalled something. Then, I flicked the flat side of the sword, making a soft 'Ting!' sound before muttering to the Legendary Sword, or rather, the spirit in it.

"Hey, you, can you transform into a pretty and sexy lady, so I could have some snu-snu with you? Many swords could transform into sexy girls in anime and manga like the Black Imperial Sword; Judecca from Trinity Seven and the Twilight Sword; Towa from Mahou Sensou. You are supposedly the all-powerful Legendary Sword, right? Can't you do it?"

To my surprise, a pop-up window appeared, replying to me.

[Legendary Weapons Restrictions: the spirit of the Legendary Weapons has limited freedom until the hero successfully stop the waves]

(So, I have to stop the waves before I get my sword-girl?)

[Legendary Weapons Notice: affirmative]

(Anyway, are you a girl or a boy?)

[Legendary Weapons Notice: the spirit of the Legendary Weapons is genderless]

Tsk! I unintentionally clicked my tongue. I had hoped the Sword Spirit was a girl. I wanted a sexy girl that could turn into a weapon in my harem!

It was such a disappointment that the Legendary Sword's Spirit is genderless!

[Legendary Weapons Notice: the spirit of the Legendary Weapons can imitate the reproductive organ of a woman]

(You should tell me before! Return my genuine disappointment! Well, let's forget that. So, spirits are genderless shape-shifters?)

I couldn't help but think of a certain Loli Dragon God. I wonder if I could visit the Draconic Deus dimension in the future.

(Can I use one of my wishes after stopping the waves to visit the dimensions of anime and manga? I mean this world is the setting of ACN in my original world, so those worlds also exist, right?)

[Legendary Weapons Notice: affirmative; however, the spirit can only send the hero to his chosen destination. It's outside of the spirit's jurisdiction]

(I see. So, if I went to a world where you have some influence, I can ask anything, right? Can you make me richer than Bill Gates? Can you revive a dead person?)

[Legendary Weapons Notice: affirmative, affirmative, affirmative]

(Three wishes for stopping the waves, eh? I'm now fired up!)

I grinned in excitement, but it ceased when I thought about something.

(So, how do I need to stop the waves? Does letting the Four Beasts doing their jobs meet the completion requirement?)

[Legendary Weapons Notice: affirmative; but, the world prefers if the hero stop the entity behind the waves]

(Man, that sounds troublesome. I don't feel confident winning against it.)

[Legendary Weapons Notice: quest generated:

Kill Medea Pideth Machina and stop the Wave of Calamity permanently!

Completion Rewards: Max out [Divinity], Admin Authority, Immortality, full obedience of spirits

Failure Results: the world is destroyed

This quest can't be refused!]

(You...what a cheeky spirit...)

I deadpanned at the so-called quest. This was the first time I got a quest since I woke up as Ren Amaki.

I decided to check each reward and read the details.

[Max out [Divinity]: increases [Divinity] stat to 999]

[Admin Authority: obtains admin privilege to fully control all things in the world]

[Immortality: obtains immortality; imperishable as long as the world exists; if you die in another world, you will respawn in this world]

[Full affection and obedience of spirits: all spirits in the world, including the spirits of Legendary and Vassal Weapons, will become fully obedient to you]

Under my calm expression, I was speechless.

[Immortality]... I wanna dat!
