I looked down at a sword in a luxurious box.
The blade was as beautiful as glass, yet jet black. The handle and guard were decorated in purple, and the whole sword radiated an eerie aura.
This is [Muramasa] the evil sword of calamity that also appeared in the game.
It is an extremely powerful weapon of the kind that selects its user.
I never thought this would be chosen as my exclusive weapon.
I swallowed hard.
“Luca, do you understand it too? The aura that this Muramasa emits.”
“Y-yes…….”
The sword is a magic sword.
Magic sword Muramasa. This sword is a sword with a very powerful ego.
At the same time, it is equipped with a curse, and if the weapon is deemed unworthy to carry, it is a crappy specification that will cause you to be cursed as soon as you equip it.
According to the official setting, many people have died because they could not hold this sword.
Above all, its performance as a weapon is top class. The fact that it is still around means that no one was worthy of it.
Lucius will also be at stake.
If I am chosen by Muramasa, I will be able to extend my power even further.
Besides, this sword belonged to Lilith’s hometown.
It was the weapon that once dealt Lilith a fatal blow.
“If you don’t think you can handle it, don’t do it. This time, I’m going to make a special exception and give you the right to refuse.”
“……No. No problem.”
I shook my head.
Lucius chuckled.
“Well. You think you can hold this sword?”
“Yes. I don’t have time to be scared in a place like this.”
I gripped the sword with determination.
Immediately after, a fearful purple aura flows from the sword.
[I ask you.]
A voice echoed in my mind.
It was the low voice of a man who was not Lilith.
The voice continued.
[What do you use me for? What will you accomplish with me?’]
I answered the question inwardly.
Strangely enough, I was able to answer immediately.
–I will be strong. I use myself for that purpose. Nothing more, nothing less.
[You want to be strong? You cut a lot of people, don’t you?]
–Of course. I will be the strongest. Anyone stronger than me is my enemy. I will survive and just leave my mark.
“Delightful. Interesting. I’ve never met anyone like you before.]
The mysterious voice laughed.
I can’t laugh at all.
Even now, the eerie aura flowing from the sword is pressing down on me, and I can’t stop my body from shaking.
I’m desperately trying to suppress the feeling that I’m about to vomit.
[Very well. I will recognize your boldness not to go crazy by tightening your grip on me, and I will lend you my strength. The nostalgic power I feel deep inside you must also be seeking me.]
The nostalgic power? You mean Lilith?
I didn’t quite understand, but if you recognize me as your master, it doesn’t matter.
I gripped my sword even tighter and laughed.
“—You are mine.”
At that moment, the aura covering my body stabilizes. This…..aura is even mixed with a curse.
Just by holding the sword, I understood the concept of the curse, and even the total amount of my aura increased.
I understand.
Now, at this moment. I am strong again.
“Sorry to keep you waiting, My lord. It seems that Muramasa has accepted me as the owner of the sword.”
“I-I see.”
Hm? What is it?
My father, who usually hardly moves his expression, was unusually surprised.
You didn’t really think I could control the muramasa, did you? That’s a shame.
I had no intention of dying in the first place.
“Well done, Luca. From now on, Muramasa will be your weapon of choice. You may devote yourself to it.”
“Understood. Thank you for the blessing.”
I bowed my head and returned to my seat.
But the rest of my siblings, with the exception of Sister Norn, and even the servants were frozen in place, staring at my face.
Everyone was looking at me in disbelief that I had been chosen to use the legendary Muramasa weapon.
I was the first user in a hundred years. I understood how they felt, but I was a little annoyed because I felt like I was being made fun of.
The only one who was not at all surprised was Sister Norn.
With a smug look on her face, she muttered, [Of course it will be Luca.]
☆
The dinner party ended quietly due to Muramasa fuss.
Returning to my room, I pulled out Muramasa from its sheath and grinned.
“Wow, it’s amazing that I can get a hidden weapon in the game this early on.”
Muramasa is essentially one of the hidden weapons that can be found after clearing the game. That is why its performance is so terrific.
[Ugh……! Luca has an unpleasant smell !]
“What’s that nasty smell?”
[Strictly speaking, it smells like the piece of shit that wounded me ! Put that stupid sword away !]
Lilith pointed at the muramasa in my hand and barked.
Naturally, I refused.
“Of course you can’t. It’s a precious weapon I’ve just acquired.”
[You don’t need such a cursed weapon, my aura is enough for you !]
“Yes, yes. It is true that Lilith’s aura is great, but if you want to kill the raging deity, I need a weapon that can do it. If you want revenge too, you’ll have to forgive me.”
I understand why she doesn’t like Muramasa, but this will make me stronger and more efficient.
I think she understands that. She puffed out her cheeks and said nothing more.
However, she was giving off an air of [I am angry] with her whole body.
“Yeah, I’m looking forward to it. I have to kill a lot of demons with this thing starting tomorrow. The more demons I kill, the stronger Muramasa will become. I will also become stronger.”
I pull out my sword with a slick motion.
The blade gleamed suspiciously in the light.
If possible, I would like to have Muramasa’s performance drilled into my body before I fight the original protagonist.
Seven years to go.
There is plenty of time.
☆
It’s been a month since I got the demon sword Muramasa.
I made time to go out to hunt demons, while Sister Norn taught me aura and swordsmanship.
The performance of Muramasa is nothing short of amazing.
This sword inflicts multiple curses on the target it cuts. In addition, its cutting ability is terribly sharp.
Even without aura, I was able to cut down demons one after another.
But alas, this is not how Muramasa performs. There are several other abilities that are inherent, and I’m not strong enough now to bring them out.
I’m rather glad there’s an element of growth, though.
In order to bring out Muramasa’s abilities as soon as possible, I continued to fight with all my might.
There was a time when Camlen spat at me, saying that I’m crazy.
So what? You have no talent.
I said back to him.
And so it went for a month.
Time passed in a blink of an eye for me. Suddenly, I was called by Lucius, the head of the family.
He said he had something to do with me.
When I came to his room, he said to me.
“Two weeks from now, there will be a party hosted by the imperial family in the capital. You should come too.”
I had a feeling that a storm was coming.
