Ery was able to hold the sword and used its power before. Hence he was confident that it certainly won't be different this ti.
When his hands once again touched and grabbed the sword hilt, Ery could faintly yet clearly feel a certain energy flowing through it, heading in his direction. Just like before, he welcod it on his own and it didn't take long for him to feel the sword's presence again.
Mustering his strength, Ery pulled the sword up with apparent ease.
All the knights who witnessed this all stared at him in awe and amazent; they couldn't believe what their eyes were seeing right now and the fact that there was soone else who could wield the fad sword beside their king. A few new people, however, looked at him weirdly.
On the other hand, Arthur nodded in satisfaction and casually spoke, "Now we know who is worthy to replace when I am gone."
The old wizard Gaious who heard Arthur's words suddenly coughed. He crept closer to Arthur and whispered, "That's not really sothing to joke about, Your Majesty." A droplet of sweat could be seen on his forehead.
Oblivious of the two's farce, Ery's eyes were completely focused on the sword in his hand. It glead beautifully, reflecting the sunlight it was exposed to.
He knew what the sword ant to the kingdom, its significance as a whole. Even so, he ignored it and closely inspected the legendary sword.
[Caliburn]
[Long sword – Tier: ???]
[Length: 1.2 ters, Weight: 28kg]
Its criztalyze-like blade that gave ethereal feeling, its golden hilt adorned with several beautiful gems; it was simply the most beautiful sword Ery had ever seen.
The sword was still as mysterious as before. He couldn't see its ability, not even its tier. Hence Ery could only assu that the sword must be at least a tier 5 weapon. This would stay as a re assumption until he was able to completely analyze the sword.
Ery brought the sword to the air, its tip pointing toward the blue sky. He then did a little swing with it. After doing several movents of his swordsmanship, he still didn't hear any voices from the sword nor any energy flowing from it.
Therefore, Ery decided to infuse a little of his spirit force into the sword to 'jolt' it awake. However, instead of giving the energy brimd with power that he wished for, it sent back a painful, strong energy.
It wasn't strong enough to mortally hurt him, but Ery knew this reaction ant that the sword was unwilling to be wielded by him. It seed that it was true; the reason the sword lent him the overwhelming power before was just because it wanted to defeat its seemingly nesis.
Ery's head turned to where Arthur was and asked, "Did the sword grant you any power when you wield it?"
A pondering expression could be seen on Arthur's face. A mont later, he shook his head dejectedly. "No.. I an, never again since the battle."
Ery nodded in response while trying to think of other possible solutions.
This ti, he tried to use his [Spirit Reading] to control and interact with an object telepathically, just like how he once taught in the elite class.
"I need to lend your power to save soone.." said Ery softly in his mind. "Will you be willing to help ?"
Ery kept doing this for a few minutes, but unfortunately there was no response at all. He exhaled a deep sigh and put the sword back to where it was before. With this his hope to use the sword to help Morgana was gone.
Arthur quickly realized what was going on and spoke while sighing, "With us both unable to wield the sword power, I really hope we won't be facing another of those situations anyti soon, rlin. I really do.."
Ery released another sigh as he was unable to promise Arthur with anything. Taking advantage of this opportunity, he also told the latter that he would be leaving for at least one year.
Afterward, he opened his [Spatial Storage] and took out a dozen of his newly improved [Gaia Serum]. He gave them to Arthur in hope that they could help him in the future.
Ery really hoped for Arthur to get stronger, as he was confident the Briton's young ruler would play an important part in the future events, or rather, future threat as per Gaia's vision told him.
After handing the [Gaia Serum], Ery bead a smile at Arthur. "Alright. I hope you all will always be well."
He turned around and was about to cast [Spatial Gate] when Gwen quickly stopped him.
"You will be leaving right away?" She said, "You should stay for a while."
Ery was silent at her words, which made the situation turn a little awkward. Noticing this, Arthur decided to intervene and said, "Actually rlin, if you have ti I would like to hear your opinion about the new threat from the south."
Upon hearing that, Ery quickly knew what the threat Arthur was talking about. It was about the Roman who took control of all the forr Cantiaci Kingdom's territory, which automatically made them Briton's current biggest threat.
"I am actually invited to et their new legion commander in three days." said Arthur with a smile. "If you have ti, please co see him with ."
Ery might have a say or two about the Roman, as he had seen first hand how they fought during the slave rebellion war.
He would indeed hate to see Briton fall under Ro while he left for the academy. Even so, he decided to not put his nose into this matter. Not this ti.
After all, he needed to prepare for the new academy year that would start in exactly four days.
Ery was about to reject the invitation when one of the knights suddenly opened his mouth.
"We have nothing to worry about, Your Majesty. I heard that the commander they sent was very young, he shouldn't be much of a threat to Briton."
Arthur turned his head at the knight's words.
"Still. We should not underestimate the Roman, tell what's the na of this new commander?"
"Legatus Julian Kaisar."
The na that ca out of the knight's mouth instantly stopped Ery. He turned his body around and looked straight at Arthur while saying, "I will see you there in three days."
After saying that, Ery imdiately entered the [Spatial Gate] that he had created and returned to the shrine to check on Morgana once again and made his last preparation.
