No one expected it.

The current situation is something no one could have predicted.

The ceremony for selecting heroes by the Holy Sword lasted all morning, and countless challengers failed.

The repeated attempts to keep the Holy Sword from moving have led many to a certain conclusion.

The challenger doubted that the sword could possibly be pulled out.

The demons speculate that the Holy Sword is likely real, but the hero hasn't reached the capital yet, so it's highly unlikely he'll succeed today.

The royal family, fully aware of the truth, is confident that the Holy Sword selection will not end in the next few days.

However, even in this situation, where no one believed that El could successfully draw the sword.

El succeeded, single-handedly pulling the holy sword from its pedestal.

What did he rely on? It was the strong magic resistance provided by gargoyles and dragon monsters, and the physical attributes provided by flesh-type monsters like minotaurs.

He wasn't fighting alone; at this moment, it seemed as if he had countless monsters he had devoured behind him!

(Mysterious voice-over: What is this, the Endless War God?)

Of course, no matter what, when El actually drew the sword, and the golden and silver holy sword shone in the sunlight, everyone understood one fact.

El became a hero.

"What's going on? This isn't what we planned, is it? I need an explanation..."

The king couldn't understand it; he had thought everything was going according to plan, and they were even ready to pop the champagne.

As a result, a young man who looked ordinary except for his appearance successfully drew the sword.

This is neither science nor magic.

"This...this..."

The chief court magician was now also covered in sweat.

He had just confidently assured everyone that it was just a technical adjustment and not to worry.

Now, he can no longer speak.

Because he and his colleagues were the ones who knew best what El had done, they had placed a seal on the holy sword.

"It interfered with our magic; the combined magic we created was affected and its effect was weakened."

But theoretically, even a dragon's physical body couldn't pull out the sword under these circumstances. How did this guy succeed?

The court magician, his eyes meeting the king's, was searching for answers.

"His Majesty……"

"Speak, have you come up with a reason to argue your point?"

"...Well, you can't say that, but I've guessed two possibilities for the hero below."

The court magicians stated that they had truly done their best, and the current situation was caused by unforeseen circumstances.

One possible reason is that El might be a descendant of a hero left behind in this world, and thus his contact with the Holy Sword allowed him to resonate with this divine artifact.

Therefore, he gained great power, successfully broke the seal, and successfully drew the sword.

"How is that possible? Didn't those heroes leave no descendants and return to their own world after completing their conquests?"

The king had learned about the heroes of past generations, and it seemed that none of them had left behind any offspring.

This event is also recorded in the royal family's ancient books.

"That's not necessarily true. Those heroes are all talented individuals. They may simply not want their bloodline to be exploited by the royal family."

The guards couldn't accompany the hero during his battle against the Demon King, so it's possible that their bloodline was preserved during that time.

But this is just speculation. They are not sure if the Holy Sword can only be used by people from other worlds, or if it can be used by mixed-race descendants.

The second reason...
