Ultraman: I am really just a human.

Chapter 478 Yak

"But speaking of which," Fei Yuzhen stared at the white sword for a while, then suddenly asked with a puzzled look, "why can this sword separate Megiddo from humans?"

"That's because it copied my power."

Yuri responded irritably.

"A fully awakened holy sword can respond to a swordsman's thoughts. If you use me to cut, it will have the same effect. Unfortunately, as a swordsman, you are still inferior to an ordinary person."

"I've already told you I'm not an ordinary person!"

Mei Sudo jumped up and retorted, picked up the white sword and was about to rush out of the bookstore, but Yuri hid behind Touma first.

"Don't run away!"

"Don't come any closer!"

"Wait a minute," Fei Yuzhen turned around in a daze, "You mean, as long as I fight with the Sword of Light, I can still save Miss Xue? Why didn't you say so sooner?"

"Didn't I say?" Yuri dodged while looking at Fei Yuzhen with surprise. "Why do you think I've been letting you kill them all? You're overcomplicating things."

"Who knew you meant that?"

……

Sword of Truth Antarctic Base.

Unlike the boisterous behavior of Fei Yuzhen and his friends, the atmosphere among the gathered Northern Swordsmen was heavy, as if an invisible pressure was pressing down on everyone's hearts.

Reika Kamishiro, the swordswoman who had met with Touma earlier, looked down at the northern swordsmen with their various expressions from the second floor. In the dim light, she slightly raised the corners of her mouth, and a hint of mockery flashed in her eyes.

"Everyone, I need to convey that person's instructions to you: in addition to retrieving the Holy Sword and the Book of Fantasy Ride from Shinzan Touma, you must also retrieve the Sword of Light and that newly born Demon Sword as soon as possible."

"A demonic sword?" The swordsmen below all stood up.

"That sword appeared after the Book of Destruction disappeared, and now it has replicated the power of the Sword of Light. If it isn't sealed away quickly," Reika Kamishiro continued expressionlessly, "there will soon be terrible consequences..."

"Envoy, has Fei Yu truly betrayed us?" the Water Swordsman suddenly interrupted. "I don't think he's the kind of person who would do evil..."

Can you guarantee that?

Reika Kamishiro's gaze was icy as she looked at the Water Swordsman and then swept her eyes over the crowd.

"Don't forget who killed the Thunder Swordsman, wasn't it the Dark Sword, Kamijou Daichi? But Touma believed Kamijou Daichi's dying words and actually thought there were enemies within the organization."

"In short, Touma Kamiyama has now become the next Daichi Kamijou. Like those who have come into contact with the Great Power, he has gone astray for power. You can stop him now, but who knows what will happen in the future."

"That's right!" The Wind Swordsman, his emotions running high, drew his holy sword, leaving the hesitant swordsmen behind as he left the base. "Kamiyama Touhou, who believes in Kamijou Daichi, is truly a traitor. I'll deal with him! Whether it's the Sword of Light or the Demon Sword, I won't leave it in the hands of someone like that!"

"Let me remind you by the way," Reika Kamishiro said, her brows furrowing slightly, "Ever since Touma Kamiyama returned from the other side of the gate to the Great Power, there have been a series of strange disappearances. It's very likely that Touma Kamiyama is related to that demonic sword. It's too dangerous for him to have power."

"How could that be?"

"Think about it carefully. Before he came into contact with the portal 15 years ago, Kamijou Daichi was also a Flame Swordsman. He took back Kamiyama Touma's power in order to save him."

Leaving a group of Holy Swordsmen in silent contemplation, Reika Kamishiro turned and left the base hall, passing through several long corridors to enter the Temple of Truth.

Under the lamplight, the Holy Lord of Truth sat high beneath the holy emblem, his face obscured by a red robe and hood, exuding a powerful aura of authority even from afar.

Reika Kamishiro dared not look any longer and knelt on one knee, awaiting instructions.

As originally planned, not only were the swordsmen from the north moved to the south, but the Sword of Light was also successfully forced out.

It is now almost certain that Touma Kamiyama, the chosen one, is indeed the key figure.

The appearance of the 12th Holy Sword was completely unexpected.

There has never been a record of a sword capable of replicating the power of other holy swords.

"We can put the matter of Touhou Shinzan on hold for now."

The Lord of Truth lightly tapped the armrest of the chair with his finger, and a red and black malevolent incantation appeared on his smiling face beneath his hood.

He also noticed Xia Chuan's arrival.

However, when he possessed the "Holy Lord of Truth," Xia Chuan turned into a sword.

It seems he's quite lucky.

"The non-existent holy sword? Perfect. Before I complete the Singularity Evolution and advance to level 9, let me eliminate you first. This time, I will definitely not let you get in my way again."

"The Holy Lord?"

Reika Kamishiro slightly raised her head, looking at the Truth Saint Lord who had suddenly started laughing with a puzzled expression.

"Regarding the retrieval of the Holy Sword..."

"It's alright," the Lord of Truth raised his arm slightly, "Let's deal with that demonic sword first. That sword is much more troublesome than you think; it's definitely not as simple as just replicating the power of the Sword of Light."

"I see."

Reika Kamishiro bowed and stepped back, a cold glint flashing in her eyes once more.

Since the Holy Lord has spoken, the demonic sword cannot be kept.

……

Bunko Utopia, the publishing house where Mei Sudo works.

Once things returned to normal, Editor-in-Chief Shirai Yuki called all of Touma and the others to the conference room.

After pouring herself a cup of hot water, Shirai Yuki paced back and forth, chattering incessantly.

"I was wondering why I could see this strange world, and then suddenly I turned into a terrifying monster, and it seems to be fighting you. So what's going on?"

Mei Sudo awkwardly hugged Bai Jian tightly: "Calm down, Xue-jie."

"I am very calm."

Shirai Yuki was so excited that she became somewhat incoherent.

"I thought I could write an exclusive story, but nobody in the editorial department believed me, and I can't see that strange world anymore... Little Mei, you must know something, right? Confess now!"

"I have no idea."

"Hmph, it's written all over your face."

"Let me erase her memories," Yuri frowned as he looked at Mei Sudo, who was still clutching the white sword. "These painful memories will only cause trouble."

"Erase memories? I don't want my memories erased, and it won't hurt at all!" Shirai Yuki was taken aback, her smile freezing as she instinctively dodged Yuri. "Little Mei, quickly, let me use this sword..."

"No, no, this sword has recognized its master!"

"ha?"

"Whoosh!"

The white sword emitted a faint halo, then flew out of Sudo Mei's arms and transformed into a streak of light, appearing on the roof of the publishing house.

Yak...

That troublesome guy is actually on the Sword of Truth.

Could it be that he has possessed the villainous Holy Lord who now holds the highest authority?

That Holy Lord's malice is currently the greatest in the world, making him practically the best vessel for Ark.

However, he sensed that the other party had lost his original knight power and was not much better off than him.

"How could this happen? My sword..."

In the publishing house's conference room, Sudo Mei remained in a sword-holding posture, completely unaware of what was happening until Yuri's eerie laughter appeared in front of her, at which point she suddenly shuddered.

"Don't come any closer!"
