In the sky, the wind howled in my ears.

The air seemed to transform into invisible and hard walls, these unseen things constantly binding me.

But I felt a freedom I had never known before!

Accelerate, accelerate, and accelerate some more!

Keep smashing these walls to pieces!

Mountains and forests flashed past my eyes, and finally I soared into the sky, passing through the clouds.

Stratospheric winds...

It's much stronger than I imagined.

It turned out that it only appeared calm, and compared to the wind beneath this sea of ​​clouds, it was more like...

Forehead......

A steady and fast-flowing river...?

After a brief period of reflection...

The king was stunned by the sight before him...

The rolling sea of ​​clouds flowed beneath my feet, and the countless stars had never appeared so clearly above my head.

The sky above was already dark, but the afterglow of the sunset in the distance tinged the sea of ​​clouds with the last warm hue.

I stared blankly for a very, very long time...

Until that color completely disappeared...

Until the feeling of cold washed over me...

Hmm, it seems the stratosphere is quite cold, and the oxygen content is also very low.

Fortunately, after various modifications, [Alucard] only experienced slight discomfort.

Moreover, looking at the magnificent scenery before him, his heart, which had been filled with joy because of the power, calmed down.

There's nothing to be afraid of anymore...

Now......

I want to see Aisha.

But......

I'm lost...

[After some time, it was completely dark. The Holy Land of Swords]

"Old Deng! You died such a terrible death!!! What kind of sins did you commit?! Waaaaaah~~~"

As the Shadow Lord delivered his heartwarming lament, Old Deng happily presented the Shadow Lord with his favorite stinky feet.

Then Old Deng froze...

Old Deng kicking me is just our special way of greeting each other.

But the problem is, Old Deng's kick through the door sent my mask flying...

And next to her was an elderly woman in her twilight years...

The appearance of the Flash Sword Saint has been revealed.

never mind......

Hmph, just a stinky old woman.

With my current strength, I have no reason to care about such worthless scoundrels.

"Jay...Jacks, you're back..."

"Um......

When I saw that terrifying thing from afar, I thought you, Old Deng, had been punished by heaven and died.

I never expected you to still be alive, Old Deng...

"cut......"

Then, Old Deng awkwardly pulled the King and the old woman to sit together.

Afterwards, Old Deng exaggeratedly recounted his heroic feat of fighting a divinely created weapon for three hundred rounds that day.

"Gibberish, gibberish... In the end, neither of us won nor lost! And look! I even stole two of his swords!"

"The Sword God is really stubborn..."

If I weren't one of the people involved, I might have actually been fooled by Old Deng...

"well......"

Old Deng sighed after his lie was exposed.

"I can't exactly say I suffered a complete defeat and didn't even get a chance to touch it..."

Let's change the subject...

Let's give Old Deng a heads-up beforehand, lest he go crazy and get fooled by some charlatan...

"Old Deng, what do you think of what you told him about evil gods, gods, and apostles of gods?"

Old Deng lowered his head and pondered. As I spoke, I was also looking at the old hag, hoping she would give me some response.

But the old woman acted as if she were dead, pretending not to hear.

"Lord Water God, you have seen the two of them with your own eyes. Do you have any comments?"

"..."

"In other words, Lord Water God, what are your impressions of these two people?"

"..."

Gee...

He looks just like a dead person...

"So... what was the reason the god gave for suggesting you kill him?"

"Excuse me... do you have a grudge against me, or rather, against the nobles of the Kingdom of Asura?"

"It's really impolite to answer a question with a question, but your question also contains the answer."

"Does the divine mean that if I were alive, perhaps my hatred for the Asura nobles would cause a war?"

"..."

It seems that was indeed the case...

"Although you are very impolite, old woman, let me answer your question."

I don't remember any particular grudge, but who knows what the future holds?

As for gods and Alucard...

All we know at the moment is that they are enemies.

Since the god spoke of the possibilities of the future, it means that he has the ability to see the future.

Killing me was his suggestion.

Alucard saved my life and spared yours.

Furthermore, I personally witnessed the bandit camp he destroyed at the foot of the mountain, and he also rescued many children from human traffickers.

Even assuming that the intentions of gods and humans are good...

"Don't think about those unnecessary things."

"Um?"

Old Deng interrupted my speech...

"Years of experience have taught me that a person who only says half a sentence is definitely telling a huge lie."

That "human god" guy is absolutely untrustworthy.

As he said this, Old Deng stared straight at me...

Holy crap...

Are you targeting me...?

"So... do you think Alucard is lying?"

"That guy... he's pretty dangerous, but... he seems more trustworthy than a god..."

"I see..."

"Yes, that's it..."

"That's settled then..."

At least it gave Old Deng a heads-up.

Next, I need to go back and think about what to do next.

"Alright, after witnessing that move from afar and listening to what you said, Old Deng, I have some new ideas. I need to go back to seclusion now. Don't disturb me unless necessary. Goodbye."

"etc!"

"Huh? What's wrong?"

"Sigh... I'm planning to take a long trip."

"Huh? Why?"

"Sigh, although I enjoyed the fight, I missed that sword strike, and my Dao heart is unsettled now..."

Lao Tzu had a vague feeling that if he just stayed like this, he would never become stronger again...

"what?"

"Actually, even if I don't look for him, it would be good if I could meet the Dragon God and fight him again. Maybe I could win."

isn't it?

Are you really giving yourself a boost of confidence, Harden?

If you really encounter the Dragon God, wouldn't that make you, Old Deng, feel utterly defeated?

But......

A man who has made up his mind cannot be stopped...

Therefore, all the words can be summed up in one sentence.

"Awesome..."

After bidding farewell to Old Deng, I, the King, am on my way home.

To be honest, the sudden feeling of being invincible doesn't really feel real.

like a dream.

But the crunching sound of my footsteps on the snow, the cold wind blowing on my face, and my pounding heart all told me that this was the truth.

The purpose of coming to the Holy Land of Swords is to become stronger.

The plan is now complete.

So, are you going to leave?

It wasn't a lie when I said I would stay a while longer.

Because I intend to improve Alucard and create the real EA.

For some reason, my sense of direction was unusually poor when I used Alucard before.

When traveling along the main road from the air, I always inexplicably get lost.

I circled in the sky for a long time until I looked at the moon and finally found my way.

Could it be that there was some bug in the brain during the creation process?

Or is it for some other reason?

Fortunately, the location of the Holy Land of Swords is relatively easy to find.

Just fly along the coast towards the sunset.

That's why I came back so late.

What happens after Alucard is perfected?

I miss Senis so much. Should I go back to Buena Village?

Nalilia and Aisha...

Are we just going to stay here like this?

It's been almost a month since I last saw Aisha.

I really want to hear her make a few cooing noises...

[Sword Sanctuary - Trevor's Mansion Gate]

I have witnessed an unbelievable scene!

The Crooked-Mouthed Dragon King was waving at Little Aisha inside the house from the yard!

Kino, meanwhile, stayed to the side to keep watch for him...

Nina: "Come here, come here, call me Mom! Open the door for Mom."
