Ultraman: I am really just a human.

Chapter 473 The Twelfth Holy Sword

"Boom—!"

The world of Saber is set in the modern era.

A rumbling thunderclap echoed through the clear sky.

The immortal phoenix swordsman was resealed into the Book of Destruction and disappeared into the spacetime rift along with the vortex of destruction. The fantasy world was restored, and the reality of the balancing world also reversed time and returned to before the destruction.

The protagonist, Kamen Rider "Sabana" Touma Kamiyama, and his swordsman companions return to reality, looking at the park with a relaxed mood as the holiday scene returns to normal.

On the sunny grass, the children continued to play football together, and the swordsmen also enjoyed a rare moment of leisure.

No one noticed the white longsword that had fallen from the spacetime rift.

"Clang!"

The longsword hummed briefly as it traversed the clouds, whistling past the commercial building. As if it had found its target, it quickly transformed into a streak of light and flew into a very stylish little wooden house on the ground.

9-6, Ni-ku, Kagari City, Tokyo.

The bookstore opened by Touma Kamiyama, Kamiyama Fantasy Bookstore.

"Whoosh!"

Xia Chuan mobilized his last bit of power and flashed into the three-dimensional model of the story world in the middle of the bookstore. The toy train next to it vibrated slightly and then clattered as it passed through the artificial mountain bridge.

To everyone's surprise, he turned into a sword in this world. Apart from being pure white, he had almost no special features and couldn't even be called a holy sword.

After wandering in the rifts of the world for countless years, he finally managed to enter reality during the knights' great battle, but the situation was worse than he had imagined.

Because he entered prematurely, he now feels as if he has been sealed away, and even escaping to reality has exhausted all his strength.

It was a rare opportunity to enter a level 9 dungeon, but the situation was even worse than when I was in "Dynasty Warriors".

What can a sealed, broken sword do?

In desperation, he could only rush to the protagonist's bookstore at the last minute.

In the storybook-like world of Saber, the theme is swords and swordsmen.

He needs a swordsman to break the seal, and how to regain his freedom is a matter for later. With his power, no swordsman can restrain him.

For the chosen swordsmen, the holy sword is the dominant force.

"This sword is..."

Kamiyama Touma and his group returned to the bookstore chatting and laughing. Sudo Mei, who was running ahead and creating a lively atmosphere, was the first to notice the longsword in the model.

Although they seemed to get along subtly well, she had no recollection of having such a sword before leaving the house.

"Whose holy sword is it?"

"It's not the Holy Sword," the burly man carrying the giant sword behind him shook his head in denial. "There are only 11 recorded Holy Swords, two of which disappeared a thousand years ago, but they all left behind information. This sword is clearly not it."

Among the swordsmen, the "swordsmith," the Sound Swordsman Tetsuo Ooshinoji, curiously approached to observe: "It's definitely not a holy sword, just an ordinary toy sword... Who put it here?"

"I don't know."

The group exchanged glances, but didn't pay much attention after not getting an answer. Some went to the swordsman base through a transfer portal in the bookstore, while others continued to exchange combat experiences.

Kamiyama Touma looked at the model for a while, but then scratched his head in confusion: "It was probably left behind by some customer. Let's just leave it here for now."

It was mistaken for a toy sword.

Xia Chuan desperately wanted to make a fuss, but the sword remained firmly planted in the middle of the model, unmoving, and could only watch as he was ignored by the swordsmen.

This world is toxic.

Wasn't the Holy Sword supposed to choose a swordsman? How come he can't do anything?

Trouble. These swordsmen all have their own holy swords. Even if he does show some special abilities, it probably won't arouse much interest. He might even be taken back to the "Sword of Truth" base and sealed away.

He obtained a lot of information about the dungeon while he was stranded in the spatial rift.

The swordsman organization "Sword of Truth" has two bases in the North and South Poles. Many dangerous and unknown objects are sealed away as containment objects. The main base in the South Pole even has a forbidden library that only the Lord of Truth can enter.

That book of destruction that nearly destroyed the world seems to have been contained and sealed in the forbidden library.

With this in mind, Xia Chuan calmed down completely and began to observe the main characters silently, as if he were an outsider.

In any case, it's better to accumulate strength first.

It's just a seal. He's been sealed before, and at least now he can find a way to break the seal himself.

After removing the two missing holy swords, the Sword of Truth currently only has 9 swordsmen wielding the holy swords, with a large number of reserves to wait for the right opportunity.

The swordsmen who break the seal don't necessarily have to be the top swordsmen from the main characters' group.

"call!"

Time flies, and before we know it, it's the end of the year for "Saber".

Snowflakes were falling outside the bookstore, and the silver-clad world, combined with the special decorations and atmosphere inside, made it feel like stepping into a fairytale or magical world.

Xia Chuan remained calmly positioned in the center of the 3D model, as if he were an outsider.

During this time, he witnessed the mundane lives of the swordsmen at each of the North District bases and Shinzan Touyu.

As top-tier swordsmen trained by the Sword of Truth, almost every Holy Swordsman possesses strong convictions and extraordinary combat prowess, making them professional swordsmen.

The only one who joined midway was Touma Kamiyama, whose profession was novelist. Despite his rapid growth, he was always regarded as an amateur newcomer.

It's clear from their everyday way of addressing each other that Touma hasn't fully integrated into the swordsmen's group. Touma usually spends most of his time writing his novel in the bookstore, and only occasionally does he gather with the others to go to the other side of the bookstore.

This bookstore has become a transit point, with people coming and going, and Xia Chuan's existence has been completely forgotten.

Kamiyama Touma, who had initially thought someone would take Natsukawa away, gradually got used to Natsukawa's presence and eventually treated her as the default decoration for the 3D model.

The only people who still pay attention to Xia Chuan on a daily basis are the children who come to the bookstore to play, so much so that Xia Chuan thinks each child has an extraordinary physique.

Unfortunately, the child obviously cannot be recognized as a swordsman character in the world of Saber.

In the end, even the children started to lose interest in Xia Chuan. They only thought the snow-white blade was pretty, but otherwise it was not as good as a toy sword. At least a toy sword could be held and played with.

this day.

Something seems to have happened within the swordsmen's ranks. The others are keeping their distance from Kamiyama Touma, and Touma himself seems preoccupied.

"I heard you defeated the Dark Swordsman, King Sword."

When only Touma was in the bookstore, a woman with a ponytail wearing a black robe suddenly appeared.

"I am Reika Kamishiro from the Southern Base, and I have been secretly observing you."

"Observing me?" Fei Yuzhen stood up in confusion, gripping the Holy Sword Driver tightly behind his back.

"Kamiyama Touma," the woman said with a mysterious smile, "we are very interested in you and highly regard your abilities. We hope you can join the Southern Base and become our exclusive knight."

"They just want me to join the Southern Base? Aren't both the Northern and Southern Bases under the Sword of Truth?"

Fei Yuzhen breathed a sigh of relief, but his face remained full of doubt.

The Southern Base, where the Supreme Leader of the Sword of Truth, "Lord of Truth," is located, usually serves as the central organization, like a headquarters, while the Northern Base is like the front line, where the chosen Holy Sword Knights are stationed.

The Southern Base's exclusive knight... is it time to send him away from the front lines?

"I don't quite understand," Touma Maki replied with a smile. "If possible, I would like to maintain the status quo and continue to fight alongside my comrades at the Northern Base."

"partner?"

The woman's smile was slightly cold. She gave Kamiyama Touma a deep look before turning and leaving.

"You can give it a try."

The Smoke Swordsman, wielder of the Smoke Sword Wolf Smoke, Kamen Rider "Sword" Reika Kamishiro.

The woman's information flashed through Xia Chuan's mind.

He understood the meaning behind the woman's words.

The current Lord of Truth has betrayed the Sword of Truth organization, and the so-called exclusive swordsmen are directly subordinate to the Lord of Truth himself.
