Crossover Anime: Starting from Jobless Reincarnation

Page 180

Roya was completely astonished, and gripped the sword hilt even tighter.

He has already infused fifty percent of his divine power into this state, yet even so, the Holy Sword can still contend with him. The identity of the opponent is self-evident: the legendary Holy Sword, the Holy Sword that defeated the Demon King.

————————【Demon-Slaying Holy Sword】

Thinking of this, Luo Ya's mind became excited. This level of weapon can only be described as extremely rare and hard to come by.

If we let them get away this time, we don't know when we'll be able to meet them again.

The man and his sword were consuming each other's divine power. Luo Ya admitted that the holy sword in front of him was quite powerful, but just like a reservoir and the ocean, even if the reservoir could contend with the ocean for a while, the ocean is the ocean, capable of continuously generating fierce waves, while the reservoir will eventually be exhausted.

Luo Ya shamelessly drew divine power from nature, directly using the characteristics of his immaculate body to recklessly absorb the surrounding divine power and elements.

It was precisely the moment Luo Ya used his talent that the Holy Sword, which had been struggling, suddenly stopped, as if it had sensed something, and it simply stopped moving.

Seeing the other party's behavior, although he didn't know what had happened, the light in Roya's eyes became even more intense.

The dazzling golden eyes shone like flowing molten lava in the dimly lit room.

"good chance!"

Without the slightest hesitation, Roya focused intently, gripping the sword hilt tightly as he loudly chanted the incantation for the contracted spirit.

"——————Proud spirit sealed within an ancient holy sword, you should serve me as your master and form a pact, then I will be your scabbard——————"

Roya's Elvish was not yet fluent, and his pronunciation sounded quite awkward, but the Elvish spoken by the boy was exceptionally clear and resonated throughout the entire shrine.

"—I command you to enter into a contract with me—"

The wind whipped at the boy's clothes. Roya's golden eyes were fixed on the Holy Sword, radiating an unparalleled sense of oppression. Roya tried to subdue the opponent with his power. In fact, apart from the initial clash between the two, when the Holy Sword struggled desperately, it never resisted again.

As the boy finished speaking, the entire sharp holy sword began to radiate a dazzling light.

Compared to the previous dazzling luster, this time it was an incredibly soft light.

The steel sword, gleaming with silver light, stopped struggling. Not only that, it even began to actively merge with Roya's divine power. The obedient appearance of the other party caught Roya somewhat off guard.

Two different kinds of divine power began to converge, then blended together, and finally coalesced.

The contract with the elf was not completed quickly. Time passed slowly, and even though the Holy Sword cooperated well, it still took quite a while.

It is unknown how much time has passed, but on the back of Roya's right hand, which is holding a sword, a pattern with several swords crisscrossing appeared. It was an extremely complex engraving.

This, naturally, is the elven imprint.

This is the most direct proof of having formed a contract with the elves.

From this moment forward, Roya is the master of this holy sword.

The moment the elven mark appeared, the ornate and luxurious longsword began to become ethereal and finally disappeared into Roya's right hand.

At that moment, the howling wind stopped abruptly, leaving only a scene of devastation.

Claire looked at Roya and murmured, "It actually...it really worked?"

Even if Claire was incredibly stupid, she could now guess the origin of the sword.

As the academy headmaster said, this is the legendary holy sword that slays the Demon King.

At that moment, a consciousness also echoed in Roya's mind.

Luo Ya read it aloud without thinking.

"Terminus Est?"

The highest-ranking sword spirit, wielding a holy sword of unparalleled power, was also wielded by Roya at this moment.

Claire looked at the elven mark on the back of Roja's hand with an envious expression.

Claire said to Roya, "Anyway, congratulations on being able to form a contract with such a powerful spirit."

Chapter 191 Esther

Having successfully captured his own Pokémon, Roya was naturally overjoyed.

But as the saying goes, some are happy while others are sad, and Claire's expression was far from pleasant.

Not only did he fail to contract the spirit he wanted, but even Scarlet, who had always been by his side, was pierced through by the holy sword and vanished.

Thinking of this, Claire's expression turned very disappointed.

What's this? Did they try to steal a chicken but ended up losing the bait instead?

Roya could understand Claire's disappointment, but thinking about it, it was a good thing to let this little girl suffer a bit.

This world is dangerous. Putting everything else aside, given the other party's reckless actions, if it weren't for Roya being there, Claire would have already been pierced through by the sword spirit and kicked the bucket.

As Roya felt the divine power flowing through his body, a smile appeared on his lips.

Although Claire was unlucky, he was lucky.

Although it's somewhat unethical to say such things, Roya's mood was indeed quite good.

For some reason, the sword gave up the struggle in the end.

If the opponent continues to contend with Roya, even if Roya wins, the time and divine power consumed will be far greater than what is currently being paid.

With their own thoughts, the two eventually crossed the Elf Forest and arrived at the academy.

Inside the Dean's office at the Elf Academy of Aresia.

Sitting behind that luxurious desk, Grevas looked up and cast her gaze at Roya and Claire.

In this season where spring and summer intersect, a gentle breeze is blowing, and the green plants beside the desk sway slightly in the wind.

Grevas narrowed her greyish-white eyes slightly, first glancing at Claire, who looked utterly dejected, then nodded and said meaningfully, "A little failure, I think that's a good thing for you, don't you think?"

Claire bit her lip, looked up at Roya, and showed a resentful expression, but the expression quickly disappeared.

Claire doesn't know how to face Roya right now. In a way, he saved her life, but why does she feel so unhappy?

It's normal to feel unhappy, and it's also normal to feel a little jealous. If it were someone else, they would feel quite upset to learn that they had missed out on the legendary Holy Sword, especially since the Holy Sword had signed a contract with someone else right in front of them.

However, Claire wasn't a bad person at heart. She quickly adjusted her mood, snorted, and said to Roya, "It's just that I made a contract with a wild elf from who-knows-where. That doesn't mean I'm inferior to you."

Roya looked helpless, as if he had remembered something, and said to Claire, "Your spirit shouldn't have disappeared, right?"

It would have been better if she hadn't mentioned it, because the moment Scarlett was mentioned, Claire's eyes instantly welled up with tears.

Claire choked up, "It's already like this, sob sob, it's already left me, hasn't it?"

Roya and Grevas exchanged a glance, both of their eyes showing a hint of surprise.

Grevas spoke first: "You don't know that your elf is actually a high-ranking elf, do you?"

Claire paused, her voice choked with emotion, before her eyes brightened.

Grevas rubbed her temples and sighed, "You, your Pokémon is already very strong. There's no need to look for other Pokémon. You can participate in the Sword Dance Festival with your Pokémon."

Claire said hesitantly, "But, but it clearly disappeared right in front of me."

The young elf was inexperienced and had never seen much of the world. Claire usually treated the elf named Scarlet well, and this was the first time she had encountered a situation like today.

Grevas began to explain, "The true form of an elf does not exist in this world. Powerful elves reside in the elven elemental realm. It is only unable to manifest now, not because it is completely dead. After some time, once your divine power recovers, you should be able to summon it again, right? If you don't believe me, look at the back of your hand. Is the elven mark still there?"

Claire raised her right hand, and the elven markings on the back of her right hand were intact, although they appeared quite dim at the moment. Undoubtedly, the elven markings were still there, which meant that her connection with Scarlet was still there, and that she had not completely lost it.

Life's ups and downs happen too quickly. The joy of regaining what was lost overwhelmed Claire, and the girl stopped crying and smiled brightly.

Like the sunset after the rain, Claire's smile was surprisingly beautiful at this moment.

Luo Ya remarked with a slight sigh, "Since you can laugh, you should laugh more often. Your laugh is actually quite beautiful."

The two weren't far apart, and the girl naturally heard what the boy said. Claire looked up, her smile vanished, and she glared fiercely at Roya, pointing a finger at him and saying, "I haven't lost yet!"

Luo Ya shrugged and casually replied with a couple of words, managing to brush off the girl's haughty words.

Grevas watched the interaction between the two with a smile, then said to Roya, "It seems things are going quite smoothly."

"Smooth sailing" refers to the elven markings on the back of Roja's hand, which are intricate patterns and give an extraordinary impression at first glance.

"Smoothly? Not really. I suffered a slight loss this time. You haven't seen the Holy Sword's temper. If you had, you wouldn't use the word 'smoothly' anymore." Roya stroked the engraving on the back of his left hand.

"The result is always good, right? In short, as long as the result is successful, isn't that enough?" Grevas seemed indifferent to Roya's complaints, and looked at Claire standing to the side and said, "Claire, you should still have class, right? You should go and rest first."

Claire glanced at Roya, nodded, and left the room, leaving only Roya and Grevas in the office.

Grevas looked at Roya with her gray eyes, sighed, and said, "Is it really that legendary holy sword?"

Grevas's question surprised Roya slightly. He looked up at Grevas and said, "You don't know?"

Grevas crossed her arms and braced them against the table, her delicate face showing a hint of helplessness as she said, "How would I have known? If I had known, I wouldn't have let Claire go. After all, this level of elf is beyond her capabilities. I thought it was just a high-level sword elf, but it seems my thinking was too simplistic."

Elves also have their own will.

Although, as long as a pure and innocent priestess is able to communicate with spirits.

However, if a contract can be formed, that's another matter. Elves have the right to choose their preferred master.

Therefore, if one can have a deep emotional connection with an elf, even if the elf user's abilities are relatively low, the elf user with lower abilities can still form a contract with a high-ranking elf.

Therefore, forming a contract with a spirit will not only test the spirit user's own abilities, but also involve compatibility issues.

But it was clear that the sealed sword spirit was very resistant to Claire when they were in the shrine.

Not only that, Claire's initial contact caused the Holy Sword to fall into a state of chaos and directly attack Claire.
