Chapter 1977


    After a while, Szar came back with an old book in his hand.


    Comparing the words on the long sword to the book, he quickly flipped through the pages.


    "This word means blood, and this word means reaper, so that makes it blood reaper…"


    Szar was stunned all of a sudden. Even the book he was holding slipped out of his hand.


    "Huh? What''s wrong, Sal? Doesn''t that just mean blood reaper? Aren''t you overreacting?"


    As the crown prince spoke, he began to swing Szar''s arm. "Hey, Sal, don''t leave us hanging. What


    the hell is this blood reaper?"


    After being shaken out of his reverie, Szar fell into a state of panic.


    "T-This sword… I-It is an ancient divine weapon!"


    Half-kneeling on the ground, he stretched out his hands dramatically and gently stroked the sword with


    trembling fingertips.


    Before Matthew could ask anything, Szar started muttering to himself, "Legend has it that in ancient


    times, heaven and earth bred ten swords. Each of these swords was an existence that was capable of


    splitting the sky andnd, as well as shattering the mountains and rivers. A divine presence is


    channeled through the sword, so whoever takes control over it willbine with the mind and soul of


    the divine weapon until both souls are one."


    "One of the swords is called the Bloodreaper, and the Bloodreaper is the Sword of the King."


    After hearing Szar''s exnation, the crown prince and Matthew felt as if they had just listened to a


    fairy tale as they nodded their heads, not fully fathoming the whole idea.All content is property ? N?velDrama.Org.


    "Sal, isn''t that story too superficial? Besides, this sword is freaking heavy, but it produces a light ''cling''


    sound when it fell to the ground. How do you exin that?" Staring at the Bloodreaper on the ground,


    the crown prince inquired curiously.


    "Well, I''m not sure about that, but whatever I knowes from the books. I initially thought it was just a


    legend too, and I never expected it to actually exist." Szar shook his head and expressed hisck of


    knowledge of the sword.


    "But I do remember something from the books. The Bloodreaper contains immense power. Only a truly


    ambitious man will be able to initiate an interaction with the sword spirit and thus control the sword,


    swing the sword like a feather, and put it down without effort. The Bloodreaper will be one with its


    owner, and if the owner dies, the sword dies, or vice versa. They will depend their lives on each other


    for a lifetime!"


    The crown prince widened his eyes in astonishment. Currently, his gaze was filled with endless


    yearning and amazement.


    "Wanna give it a go, Matt? Based on Szar''s exnation, whoever is able to draw the sword will be


    able to elevate their status."


    Matthew nodded in response.


    Looking at the long sword on the ground, he intended to give it another try.


    A truly ambitious man, you say? I wonder if my identity as the Lord of Eastshire is worthy of owning this


    sword.


    Following a shudder, he exuded an aura of superiority.


    Clenching his fingers, Matthew embraced the hilt of the sword.


    This time, he could feel a slight movement in the Bloodreaper, but the overwhelming weight was still


    holding him back from pulling it upward.


    Even through his palms, he could sense a special wave moving through the long sword.


    It felt as if the sword was despising him for being too weak.


    "Although I am now only the Lord of Eastshire, I shall hike with you up the mountains, dive with you


    down to the sea, and together, we will take control over the world as long as you obey me! When the


    dayes, I shall be King, and you shall be Sword Sovereign. Dare to give it a try?"


    The moment his voice fell, the sword loosened.


    "Come on! Argh!"


    "Surrender to me!"


    Under his hoarse growl, a mouthful of blood spat out of his mouth.


    Simultaneously, the blood on his arms flowed continuously to the sword along his fingers. Co?tent of

    The Bloodreaper started loosening again.


    Clenching his teeth, he lifted the sword higher and higher until it hung above the ground entirely.


    He did it!


    Showing his blood-stained teeth, Matthew gradually flopped to the ground.
