In the first year of the New Era, the Demon Lord was vanquished by the Hero, split into thirteen parts, and sealed across the world, with only their soul reincarnating.
Sixteen years into the...
Chapter 45 Sword Master and Hero
A. Sion finally made his request, which was not surprising. When this woman first arrived, everyone in the mansion had anticipated what she might do. They thought she would do something at that time, but it turned out that she had lived in the mansion for nearly a week before she finally couldn't hold back.
"Sin?"
Doro wanted to laugh when he heard this word. From a human perspective, he was of course guilty. Helping the Demon King to revive and attacking Saint Xia Di were of course Doro's sins. As for the previous ones, whether they were sins or not... everyone should know.
Hearing Doro's question, Sion looked a little uneasy: "I mean, they will give you..."
"For your sake, I helped the devil to revive and attacked Saint Xia Di, can it be forgotten?"
The unexpected words from Doro's mouth were words that A. Sion had never imagined: "You, what do you mean?"
"I did something that is a 'sin' for humans. This is an irrefutable fact, no matter what my original intention was, no matter whether I was the first to be betrayed by humans. If there is such a thing as sin in the world, then I am unforgivable. In this case - do you say I can atone for my sins? For your sake, will my sins disappear? Can what I did disappear?"
What exactly does he want to say? Isn't this what he expects? Doesn't he want to go back to his past life?
Doesn't he want to embrace that kind of glory and splendor anymore?
A. Sion doesn't understand. She thought she understood Doro very well, but now it seems that this person is so strange. Has he changed so much in the past ten years?
"Sins can never be repaid. What has been done has already happened. Even the devil or the god cannot go back to the past and reverse what happened. History is an established fact." Dora's eyes were as heavy as cold lead, pressing on A.Xion's heart. "If humans can forgive my sins for your sake, can they also forgive me sins for the sake of others? Just like what happened before." A.Xion's
heart trembled: "No - Godora, that's not what I meant..."
"That's what you mean, Sword Saint A.Cion."
Dora's eyes were deep: "You act like a sword fanatic, you make it seem like you don't want to know anything and understand anything except the sword, but you know better than anyone - because of this, because you have no desire for power, you have obtained the most transcendent position in the human empire. As long as it is for the sword... humans can forgive you for anything. As long as there is a reason related to the sword... then everything the Sword Saint does has some kind of support."
His eyes were like a saw that was not sharp but had many teeth, cutting open A.Cion's heart bit by bit, peeking into her inner secrets.
"In your eyes, sin and the like, is it really important? That is what is important to me. I am the one who will be tortured by this word, so you shamelessly say this word in front of me, and I will definitely be touched by this word."
He laughed at himself: "You are right, I really can't be indifferent to this word, and my best behavior is to ignore you - but I am telling you so much now, which is the proof that I can't be calm. Sword Saint A. Cion, you are successful. You are as sharp as ever. You make me very angry."
She didn't mean that!
A. Cion wanted to argue loudly and wanted to express her feelings to Dora...
But, did she really not?
She really didn't understand anything, did she really only have the sword in her heart?
If she really only had the sword in her heart, she would not tell Dora that "a real swordsman should be like me, wearing revealing clothes, and any form of protective gear is disrespectful to the sword", while personally putting on the brave armor for him and blessing him to fight the devil.
She would not reclaim his name when Dora was decadent. Try to get him to rejoin her school.
She would not kill the traitor, Frodnik, who tried to attack Doro.
She would not come here. Stay here, here... at this moment, to invite Doro.
She knows everything.
It is precisely because she knows everything that she greedily wants to get him.
In the mind of the sword master, memories are flowing.
After the first meeting with the man named Godora, the future saint Xia Di followed the boy timidly. He was confident and flamboyant, holding the sword of the brave that no one else could hold, and looked at her with an exploratory look: "You are the sword master A. Sion, who will become my teacher?"
To put it nicely, he is high-spirited, and to put it bluntly, he is unruly.
When they first met, the sword master was sure that this boy would surpass himself.
Because the sword was shaking.
"You are qualified to be my disciple, Godora."
Sword Saint A. Sion, in Xia Di's incredible eyes, hugged the boy named Godora and officially accepted him as his disciple.
In fact, the previous A. Sion was very dignified.
Later, she was wearing revealing clothes. People thought that was A.Xion's style, but because she had accepted a disciple, she exposed this matter. She has always been a person who practices what she preaches... Naturally, there are people who argue for the great swordsman, and no one questions the swordsman's piety to the sword.
However, only A.Xion herself knows.
She is enjoying the gaze.
The first lesson she taught Godora was that no matter how scared you are, you must stare at the other person. You must take in all the other person's movements and look at the other person with full concentration - only then can you hope to defeat the other person.
This is of course a serious teaching, but as an "opponent" and being watched by Godora, she gradually developed different emotions in her heart. Her clothes became more and more revealing.
When Godora asked about this, she told Godora with a serious excuse.
"So, teacher, you have been wearing less and less clothes recently. Is it because your swordsmanship has become more and more advanced?"
"Of course."
"I also want to reach your level."
At that time, A.Xion looked away with a guilty conscience. She lied to the boy as a matter of course.
However, the boy made rapid progress. When he took on the mission to defeat the Demon King, they had a battle - A.Xion lost.
She felt incredible that in such a short time, the boy surpassed herself... However, when she thought that he was responsible for the mission to defeat the Demon King, she felt that all this was natural. After all, she could never be the opponent of the Demon King, and she might even die in a face-to-face encounter.
To defeat the Demon King, one must reach this level.
She was disappointed and happy.
When she gave him the name of A and he became A.Godora, Xion thought to herself - I am no longer his teacher, so maybe...
There are many girls around him.
They were young and beautiful, they were confident and outspoken, unlike an older woman like herself. She was much older than A. Godola. Although she was able to maintain her youth for a long time because of some things in the past, compared with those girls... she had no confidence.
So she could only watch silently.
They successfully defeated the Demon King. People in the world said that the hero and the Saint Xia Di were a natural match. Some people also said that maybe he and the magician in the team, who was called "Sage", were also a good match and were happy enemies. Some people also said...
all kinds of opinions, and Sion just listened.
Until - everything began to reverse.
She had accepted the boy who was rescued by A. Godola earlier, the boy who admired A. Godola's back as her new disciple, and the two of them always talked about A. Godola.
She knew what kind of person
A. Godola was better than anyone else. Therefore, those slanderous, destructive, and disappointing things that happened to A. Godola made A. Sion secretly happy.
Those girls will lose him.
However, what made her unhappy was that Frodnik, the disciple who admired A. Godola so much, actually participated in such a grand betrayal. He lost his essence on the road of chasing A. Godola. He thought that his admiration for that person was his admiration for a hero. He foolishly thought that as long as he became a hero, he could become the same person as A. Godola.
Sion didn't care about this.
She knew that Frodnik would live in torment in the future.
So she found A. Godola who had just hidden to get drunk.
Restraining her inner excitement, at that moment, she said to him: "A. Godola, your sword has lost its sharpness. I will take back the name of A given to you."
She saw Godola's hand holding the wine glass stiffen for a moment: "Are you going to clean up the door?"
"You can become my disciple again. I will teach you again and make you a qualified swordsman. If you can't be a hero, you can also be the next generation of swordsman."
She truly expressed her will.
But she only met Godola's cold and turbid eyes.
From those eyes, A.Xion saw something called "distrust".
She had never seen such a look in this man's eyes.
"Go away, A.Xion."
He no longer called her teacher, he gave her the name of A back.
A.Xion was more confused and overwhelmed than ever before, she felt deeply terrified.
"Don't force me anymore."
Sword Saint A.Xion fled from his former disciple.
She didn't see Godora's self-deprecating and bitter smile.
In the end, she was just talking.
