“I survived?”
It can’t be. I take a direct hit from the powerful attack from the S-class dragon and still standing here. And…
“What is this sword?” I asked myself.
From nowhere, a red blade suddenly rested in my grip. It feels a little bit weird. I don’t know the sword, but I did feel like I’ve already mastered it for eternity. My body feels so light, and my senses are getting unbelievably sharp from usual as if I can read the surrounding completely.
The blade is discharging a dim dark red color light with a slightly, just slightly aura of atrocity, maybe I am the only one who able to sense it.
“E-Evans…?”
Elea who falls on the cracked arena stage floor are looking at me with her teary eyes, after almost died by a massive crystal edge directed to her from the dragon. She looked very scared, and her body is trembling. I go to her, kneeling to the ground to match our face on the same height.

“Okay…well… IF I KNOW I WOULD ALREADY TOLD YOU, i***t!”
He is surprised at first then gritted his teeth and start calming down after a while.
“I’m sorry. I was panicked.”
Yeah, I know, everyone is panicked too.
“It’s okay I understand. Then tell me what this is?”
He takes a deep breath before replying to me.
“It’s maybe hard to believe, but that is most probably the long-lost legendary sword. The third sacred blade.”
“Eh…It can’t be…”
I replied in a shock intonation. I take a good look at the sword.
