Fairy Tail Space Mage
Page 74
The two brothers, one a genius swordsman and the other a genius swordsmith, complemented each other perfectly and together forged the glory of that era!
Finally, the younger brother forged the most perfect sword—the "Divine Sword"! And the older brother's swordsmanship also reached the level of "Sword God," surpassing all "Grandmasters of Swordsmanship"!
So, the elder brother challenged the dojos of the "Four Great Schools" one by one, defeating all of them through sword duels. Finally, the "Four Great Schools" agreed to the "Sword God's" request to abandon their conflict and establish a unified alliance nation…
The matter should have ended satisfactorily at this point. But in reality, this was only the beginning of a tragedy.
The biggest difference between a swordsman and a swordsmith is that a swordsman's skills decline with age. But a swordsmith is different... even if their body ages, their swordsmithing skills are not necessarily affected.
The older brother has already reached the pinnacle of swordsmanship, but the younger brother continues to strive towards the pinnacle of swordsmithing... This disparity is something the older brother cannot accept.
Finally, one day, the older brother ordered his younger brother to abandon the work of forging the sword. Because the most perfect "divine sword" had already been forged, and the world no longer needed a more powerful or perfect sword.
The older brother believed that doing so would only bring new instability and conflict to the "hometown of martial artists".
But how could he understand how cruel it was to ask a swordsmith who had dedicated his life to sword-making to give up?
Chapter 149 Nameless and Lisanna
Perhaps the "Sword God" understands.
However, his swordsmanship declined day by day as his body weakened. Meanwhile, his younger brother's sword-making career flourished, seemingly without end... Finally, the older brother couldn't hold back any longer, his heart filled with jealousy.
That's why he turned a blind eye to his own cruelty and gave his brother that order.
The younger brother did not disobey his older brother. He only knew how to forge swords, unlike his brother, who was a great man capable of seeing and changing everything around him.
Unable to forge swords, he endured a very painful and agonizing middle age until, in his old age, he found an abandoned baby girl during an outing.
He raised the baby girl, adopted her as his goddaughter, and even secretly taught her sword-making. Only then did his life begin to shine a little brighter.
However, one day, the daughter forgot her father's instructions and displayed the sword she had forged outside. This enraged the "Sword God," who believed his younger brother had disobeyed his orders. He finally approached his brother and pointed the blade of his sword at him.
The younger brother did not resist; he closed his eyes and waited for the blade to pierce his chest. Both he and his brother were old. However, he had a daughter who had inherited his craft, and he could die without regret.
But the blade didn't pierce his chest; instead, it pierced the chest of his most precious daughter, who stood before him. And so, the most painful and regretful moment of his life descended upon him!
Seeing his younger brother in such pain, the older brother's resentment and anger subsided considerably, and he turned and left.
But the younger brother's resentment began from that day...
The younger brother brought his daughter's body to visit a man who was determined to die. That man wanted to forge a sword that could kill him. So, he sought out the world's best swordsmith, the younger brother.
The younger brother accepted his request this time. At the same time, he set his own conditions: he wanted the man to be able to resurrect his daughter using magic.
But the man shook his head. He said magic couldn't resurrect anyone… Ultimately, after a compromise, his daughter was resurrected. However, in a different way—by a sword.
If my younger brother had any sense at all, he would never have agreed to such a request.
This couldn't be considered a resurrection at all; it was more like a curse. But for the brother who had lost his daughter, none of that mattered, as long as he could hear her voice again!
The man returned home disappointed. The sword, forged with the combined knowledge and strength of both men, still could not kill him.
But the younger brother was content. After returning home, he retired to the mountains and continued his life with his daughter.
However, the older brother eventually discovered this. Armed with the "Divine Sword" and ten "Holy Swords," the "Sword God" came to slay his younger brother, who had touched the forbidden techniques.
He certainly succeeded in killing his brother. After all, his brother only knew how to forge swords.
And finally, the younger brother's daughter's resentment and murderous intent towards her older brother reached their peak!
She killed the "Sword God" on the spot and devoured the "Divine Sword". If it weren't for the "Divine Sword" desperately protecting her, even the ten "Holy Swords" would not have been able to escape.
But the younger brother's daughter still has no intention of letting go of the ten "holy swords." In her view, the ten "holy swords" and the "divine swords" are all traitors!
They are all swords that remain indifferent to the murder of their creator, and blades that aid and abet evil!
She stirred up a bloodbath in the "Land of Warriors," all to find ten "Holy Swords," and then cut them all down to avenge her father!
But years later, when the ten "Holy Swords" were finally found, they were with ten humans. These were the first generation of "Ten Sword Saints" chosen by the "Holy Swords".
And probably no one knows that the reason the "Ten Sword Saints" came into being was simply because the "Holy Swords" asked humanity for help, hoping to gain human support in order to seal away a certain evil weapon.
The battle erupted, and in the extremely fierce fighting, half of the first generation of "Ten Sword Saints" were lost, but they finally managed to seal the "murderous weapon." However, they only managed to seal it.
The ten "holy swords" believed that one day, the "murderous weapon" would return to the world and once again unleash a reign of terror. Therefore, they have maintained a cooperative relationship with humanity for hundreds of years, right up to this day.
Today, that "murderous weapon" has finally been born! And, like them, it has found humans to support it.
A more dangerous and brutal war seems to be inevitable.
……
"Did something like this happen hundreds of years ago...? The Sword God and the Swordsmith, weren't they brothers? Why would they..."
Lisanna found this story hard to accept. After all, she had grown up relying on her older sister and brother, and she had a very close relationship with them.
For Lisanna, the idea of brothers fighting and killing each other was far too difficult to comprehend.
“I don’t understand… why my father, who was so proud of his once-great ‘Sword God,’ became like that in his later years. I only know that when I lost my father and saw him being brutally murdered, all I wanted to do was destroy everything… It seemed that only in that way could I quell the anger in my heart…”
As Wuming recalled the past, a murderous aura involuntarily emanated from him. Lisanna's face paled as a result, and Kong frowned.
“Nameless, I also just lost someone I loved deeply. You could even say it was entirely my fault that she… I understand how you feel,” Lisanna suddenly said to Nameless.
"You... too?" Wuming was a little surprised.
“Yes. The person you just killed was my enemy,” Lisanna replied.
"..."
“I see… No wonder I always felt that Lisanna and I looked alike, so that’s why.” Wuming looked Lisanna over carefully again, seemingly feeling a sense of closeness to her.
The murderous aura emanating from her subsided as a result. At the same time, she changed her form of address, no longer calling Lisanna "little sister."
Sora suddenly had a feeling that perhaps Lisanna could get along well with the Nameless One. However, come to think of it, Lisanna seemed to get along well with everyone. Otherwise, she wouldn't have awakened that kind of magic.
"Alright... Now that you've heard the story, it's time to fulfill your promise... Although it'll be a bit troublesome, I will defeat the 'Ten Sword Saints' and sever the ten 'Holy Swords'. However, before that, I need to send Lisanna back to 'Fairy Tail'."
The story of the nameless was met with a very lukewarm response.
Perhaps, living in this age of information overload, we've seen and heard all sorts of stories, so we've become somewhat numb.
In the story just now, the only thing that caught Sora's attention was "the man who wanted to die." No matter how Sora thought about it, he felt that he must be the dark mage—Zelf.
It seemed that no matter where in Aslant he was, or in which influential legend he could be found, his presence was always present. Sora grew increasingly curious about him.
"All knowledge about mages points to the black mage Zeref. I feel more and more that the further I go on the path of a mage, the closer I get to that forbidden person."
This is a passage that Sora saw in the journal of a very famous mage in history. He was deeply impressed by it.
Chapter 150: Debates and Decisions
"null!"
"Brother Kong!"
Sora didn't hide his words from anyone; he spoke them directly. Therefore, all the swordsmen present turned their gazes to Sora.
"Sword God, you weren't joking just now, were you..." Liu Feng asked, somewhat disbelievingly. He had always called Kong "Sword God," unsure whether it was out of genuine respect or a deliberate attempt to tease him.
"I'm not kidding... Actually, it's not much different from before. Anyway, you guys haven't made a move yet, weren't you planning to wait until everyone was gathered before going all out? Now, the process is the same as before, only the result is slightly different." Sora didn't seem to care about everyone's reaction.
"No, no... how could they be the same? You are also a swordsman; you should understand how important the Holy Swords are to us. If you truly decide to sever them, then we will fight you with the resolve to die!" Liu Feng's expression became extremely serious, seemingly hoping to change Kong's mind. But...
“I am also a swordsman. Nameless is my sword. Like me, you must also seal or destroy her... Isn’t that reason enough?” Kong asked Liu Feng in return.
This was the first time Kong had openly admitted to being a swordsman in front of outsiders. Clearly, the events of the day had a profound impact on him.
"Not enough. Would you treat the Tang sword in your hand as if it were your parents, brother, or master?" The one who answered empty-handed wasn't Liu Feng, but Tan Long of the "Soul Sword Style." He was a demi-human with a lizard's tail. He was also the sixth-ranked Sword Saint.
“I will treat her as a partner. To me, a partner is the closest person.” Kong answered Tanlong’s question without the slightest hesitation.
This surprised Tanlong for a moment. Finally, he bowed to Kong and withdrew. His keen senses as a demi-human, and his experience in judging people, probably made him realize that Kong was not lying.
“Kong…” The nameless voice, filled with excitement and gratitude, echoed in Kong’s mind.
"Brother Kong is indeed a very gentle person!" Lisanna was also very moved.
“Mr. Kong… I am deeply grateful for your selfless rescue. My life should have been at your disposal… However, I and ‘Crosswind’ are as close as sisters, and I cannot bear to see her suffer… How about we each take a step back… In a little while, after the remaining Sword Saints arrive, I will propose that we change our decision regarding your weapon… We are not enemies, and I believe there is no need for us to fight!” Even I, Sacred Heart, couldn't help but speak. She was clearly a proponent of peace.
"What are you saying, Sacred Heart? Have you forgotten the reason for our 'Sword Saint's' birth?!" Sacred Heart's mortal enemy, Iron-Eating, immediately stood up to object.
"That was hundreds of years ago! The situation is completely different now! Don't think I don't know you just want to fight the new 'Sword God'!" Sacred Heart is ranked two places lower than Iron Eater, but he is not afraid of Iron Eater at all.
"So what about you... You wouldn't happen to have your eye on that pretty boy, would you?"
"Iron Eater, do you want to die?!"
"If anyone wants to fight, I'm happy to oblige!"
The two men had already drawn their swords, unleashing their killing intent without restraint. Their accompanying knights did the same. Seeing this, Liu Feng couldn't help but cover his face, sighing repeatedly.
Although Luo Mei always believed that the "Ten Sword Saints" had a good relationship, that was actually not the case at all!
Among the "Ten Sword Saints'" rivals, Iron Eater and Sacred Heart, Crimson Fire and Black Feather, every time they clashed, they were filled with genuine killing intent! Even he couldn't get along well with Immortal Abode (ranked third, "Sword Control Style", also one of the three strategists), that "righteous gentleman".
"If we can resolve this peacefully, that would be best. Even if we can't, don't worry too much. Anyway, I can repair them with magic after they're severed," Kong suddenly interjected, leaving everyone stunned. Even Sacred Heart and Iron Eater, who were currently facing off, were speechless.
"Empty?" Even Wuming asked in disbelief.
"However, regarding what happened back then, the 'Holy Swords' must apologize to Nameless... I'm not asking them this because I'm biased towards Nameless. It was clearly their and the 'Sword God's' fault back then. I really don't understand what you're thinking. You don't think that just because you're weapons, you should automatically obey orders and completely follow your master's wishes, do you?" Kong muttered a couple of sentences under his breath at the end.
However, Sora seemed to have guessed correctly. Therefore, upon hearing Sora's mutterings, the Holy Swords all reacted in various ways.
"How lazy... Using loyalty as an excuse to shirk responsibility, abandon thinking, and ignore right and wrong. That's why tragedies have been repeated time and time again over the years. The land of martial artists has always been this wretched place." Sora sighed.
However, he only sighed briefly. After resolving the matter with the nameless one, he would leave with Lisanna and the nameless one. He had absolutely no interest in what would happen to the "Land of Warriors" next.
But his words caused Liu Feng, the other sword saints, the holy swords, the other swordsmen present, and even the nameless one, to fall into deep thought. Clearly, the different regional ideologies had a profound impact on everyone born and raised here.
To Kong's surprise, Lisanna also fell silent after hearing Kong's words.
"So slow... a bit boring. Why haven't the remaining Sword Saints arrived yet... Indeed, Crimson Fire, our deal should continue." Perhaps unable to bear the strange atmosphere that suddenly became quiet because of his words, Sora waved to Crimson Fire.
"Well, Sword God, please spare me..." After being glared at fiercely by Sacred Heart and his followers, Crimson Fire immediately softened.
“Sword God… if you need, you and your sister can go to the guest room to rest first. Although the remaining Sword Saints will arrive soon, there will be a meeting later to discuss the decision regarding your weapon, so…” Saint Heart suggested to Kong. She knew that Lisanna’s health was not very good.
“No need for that… Since you haven’t reached an agreement yet, I’ll just take Lisanna away from the Land of Warriors and return to Fairy Tail. Anyway, for a space mage like me, crossing the Ishgar continent only takes a few minutes.” Sora replied after hearing Sacred Heart’s words.
"A space mage? Spanning the entire continent of Ishgar! In just a few minutes!"
Liu Feng suddenly realized that his knowledge of emptiness was still limited. The others looked at each other in confusion, clearly unaware of the functions of the Western magic system.
"Lisanna... the 'Fairy Tail' of this world is in the Kingdom of Fiore, on the western side of the Ishgar continent. That's my guild; Natsu, Gray, and Erza are all there. Mira and Elfman will be so happy to see you. They'll definitely treat you like their own little sister..."
Of everyone present, only when facing Lisanna did Sora reveal a tenderness rarely seen in him. This tenderness warmed hearts and inspired envy.
