Hikari: Rise Of The Weapons Master

Chapter 43 The Sword Of Pendragon

As soon as Zack stepped through the door, his vision went black. But the teenager didn't panic and waited for his vision to return or something else to happen.

After a few minutes, a whooshing sound passed through Zack's ears as the teenager's vision suddenly returned. He was standing in front of a coffin elevated on some kind of stone platform.

Around him, the entire place was surrounded by darkness and nothing could be seen. The place was so quiet that Zack could hear his own breathing sound and the sound of his heartbeat echoing inside his ears.

[ Coffin of the Heir of Arthur Pendragon (Legendary): Here lies the last thing that the heir of the legendary King Arthur left behind as his mark.

The one who opens this coffin will have his fate tied to the object and it will follow him till his death ]

The black-haired teenager gulped in anticipation as this was the first time he was hearing about anything like this.

In his previous life, the person who had become the guild leader of the vibranium ranked guild had never gotten such a thing and had never shown anything like it.

Zack wanted to exit the place but there was no exit option anywhere. He decided to walk into the darkness but the moment he touched it, his eyes widened.

< -2999 HP >

[ Warning! Only a single HP point remains. ]

The black-haired boy immediately stepped back when he received such notifications. He tried to open his status panel but nothing appeared in front of him.

He tried to access the other features but nothing worked. After taking a deep breath, Zack decided to call upon Kai.

"Hey God of timelines, can you hear me?" The teenager asked out loud and Kai replied a few seconds later.

[ I already told you, kid. I will not help you again in small matters. ] An annoyed voice entered his mind.

"Just see the place where I am in."

[ What's so special abo- How the f*ck did you get in that place?! ]

"By entering I through a door. Now tell me how I can exit this place."

[ You can't. Even I cannot pull you out of that place. The only thing you can do is open that coffin and see what's inside or you are trapped there for eternity. ]

Zack took a deep breath when he heard that he would be trapped for eternity which sounded stupid.

'How can that happen if I randomly open a door and get in front of a coffin?' Despite what he was thinking, the teenager knew that there was nothing else that he could do except opening the coffin.

He looked at the stone lid with narrowed eyes before he started using his hands to push it down. He still wasn't over the fact that what he had experienced in his current life was extremely different from those who had received the same thing in his previous life.

But what he didn't know was that having Gugnir in his previous life had completely altered the flow of how things would proceed.

Be it the woman he saw while getting Chastiefol or him being trapped in this dark place.

After a few minutes of pushing the stone, it finally fell down the coffin and Zack peered inside the coffin.

[ Eirias (Pseudo Legendary): The crystal sword of Light. It is named Eirias which means 'Blazing.' Also called sword of the sunrise.

- In the presence of the Dark, it burns with blue fire.

- Can cut through most magical objects.

- Gives a 100% damage and defense boost while fighting creatures of Darkness.

- Grants the title 'Heir of Pendragon'

- Grants the wielder the ability to use blue fire

- ??? ]

The information that appeared in front of him was shocking. He had a pseudo legendary artifact in front of him and not even six months since the game's release had passed by.

In his previous life, the first appearance of a legendary weapon was almost a year after the game had been released. And here, he had a pseudo legendary weapon only a month after the game's release.

Slowly, the sword started to rise from the coffin and floated in front of Zack. The sword had a plain black hilt and a normal-looking silver blade.

The teenager moved forward and grabbed the hilt of the sword.

All of a sudden, blue fire raged around the blade and directed the teenager's hands towards the darkness.

His entire body was pulled by the sword towards the darkness as he swung the sword towards the cloud of darkness. The burning blue fire cut through the matter as though it was paper.

The teenager soon took control of the sword and by using it, he cut through the cloud of dark matter. It seemed to regenerate behind him and the coffin was soon lost.

The blue flames however kept the darkness at bay and prevented it from swallowing Zack.

After a few minutes of running around in this manner, the teenager could finally see the door which led to his room in the guild.

But before he could cross over, a rumbling sound shook the entire place. His expression turned grim as he saw the darkness gathering together.

And anyone could tell that it was not a good thing.

"You have done a good job of keeping it at bay." A young male voice echoed throughout the room as Zack felt his body relaxing. "Let me do the rest of the work that I was not able to do ages ago."

The black-haired boy raised his right arm as the blue fire raged around the blade and started moving up his body. But he didn't feel any pain from the fire.

Instead, he felt a gentle warm glow surrounding his body like the fire from a campfire. The warm feeling covered his entire body as the fire completely surrounded his body.

"World of Ashes!" The same voice shouted through Zack's mouth as the blue fire broke loose.

A blue firestorm took over the entire place as the darkness was burned by the blue fire. If someone had seen the raging firestorm, they would have thought that a nuclear explosion was taking place.

And in the middle of the storm was Zack and his eyes were glowing in the same color as the flames.

"My job is done…" The voice from earlier spoke again as the flames slowly started to die down. The entire room had been cleaned of the darkness and only the coffin and Zack were now present in the room.

But the moment the last amber of the blue flames vanished, the teenager crashed down.
