Ultraman: I am really just a human.

Chapter 489 The Strongest Holy Sword 2

Antarctic base.

After arranging for the swordsmen to clean up the mess and patrol, Reika Kamishiro lowered her head and walked into the Temple of Truth with the Holy Sword swordsmen, feeling extremely ashamed.

As a swordsman who has served the Lord of Truth for generations, it is unforgivable that he allowed Megiddo to infiltrate the base and take away the forbidden book without any hindrance.

"I'm very sorry, it seems the stolen forbidden book has fallen into the hands of Kamiyama Touma. I'll go and retrieve it right away..."

"There's no need for that," the Holy Lord of Truth interrupted dismissively, "Let him keep that book for now."

Reika Kamishiro's eyes narrowed slightly, and the swordsmen kneeling beside her also subconsciously looked at her.

This was the first time the group had met the Lord of Truth since leaving the Arctic base, and all their previous doubts about Reika Kamishiro came flooding back to mind.

This woman, acting as the Holy Lord's mouthpiece, seems to have been smuggling in quite a few of her own agendas.

"What exactly is that forbidden book? Why would Megiddo risk stealing it?" Reika Kamishiro continued, bowing her head as she asked.

The Lord of Truth lowered his gaze.

He certainly knew what the banned book was all about, and he also knew why Stryus had his eye on this particular book.

On the surface, "Ancient Dragon" is related to the resurrection of the Book of Omniscience and Omnipotence, but in reality, it is just a tool specially prepared for Shinzan Touma by this world.

Therefore, he went with the flow and used Stryius to transfer it to Kamiyama Touma.

Decade's initial choices were completely wrong; attempting to destroy the world's script was wishful thinking.

"Saint Blade" is not like those previous dungeons.

Even the strongest knight can only defeat the dungeon boss at most; how could he possibly contend against the will of the entire world?

The correct choice to clear the level is to help Kamiyama Touma defeat the final enemy.

However, thanks to Decade, he now has new options.

"Don't worry about the forbidden books for now. Just focus on completing the task I've given you." The Lord of Truth didn't answer Reika Kamishiro, but instead turned his gaze to a group of Holy Swordsmen.

Pity.

His choice meant he couldn't take action against these local swordsmen; otherwise, he wouldn't have needed to wait for the knights from this world to arrive, and could have recovered all his power right now.

However, these swordsmen can be used to hinder Decade.

This time, Decade's power seems to have increased significantly, and he might break the seal before Decade does.

We definitely can't let them continue to have such a smooth ride.

Ideally, Decade would accidentally kill a few of the Holy Swordsmen, so that Decade would have no chance to regret it, and he might even be able to find an opportunity to seize the power of the Holy Sword ahead of time.

"Holy Lord," Rintaro, the Water Swordsman, swallowed hard, mustered his courage, and looked up at the Holy Lord of Truth, "I...I've heard there are enemies within the organization. Is that true?"

"Watch your mouth!"

Reika Kamishiro's gaze turned cold as she shouted to stop Rintaro, and the other swordsmen also looked at Rintaro in surprise.

Others wanted to ask the same question, but none had the courage of Rintaro.

"Holy Lord..."

"Shut up, all of you!"

Reika Kamishiro stood up and stood in front of the swordsmen.

"How dare you be so insolent before the Holy Lord! Don't forget that Shinzan Touko is a traitor to the organization. Are you going to doubt the organization because of the words of a traitor?"

"Alright, Sword Edge," the Holy Lord of Truth waved his hand, signaling everyone to step back, "Rest assured and complete your mission."

Rintaro's face showed struggle, but in the end he lowered his head along with the others and said, "Yes."

After leaving the temple, Reika Kamishiro's sharp gaze locked onto the Holy Swordsmen like a blade.

She sensed it to some extent.

These swordsmen were no longer so resolute; their hearts were wavering, and it seemed that some of them were secretly preparing to make contact with Kamiyama Touma.

A bunch of useless trash.

Ultimately, she still had to get involved herself.

"His Holiness did not say that we, as his subordinates, cannot be ignorant of everything."

Reika Kamishiro gathered everyone in the base's front hall.

"Your next task is to retrieve the forbidden book. If necessary, you can kill Kamiyama Touma..."

"Are you kidding me?"

The Earth Swordsman, his brow furrowed, pushed forward, his massive, oppressive sword emanating a powerful aura in front of Reika Kamishiro.

"The Holy Lord clearly told you not to interfere!"

"Is it really okay to let Touma Kamiyama continue to spiral out of control?"

Reika Kamishiro remained expressionless, completely unaffected by the aura of the nouveau riche sword.

"If you disobey my orders, you can try leaving the organization, but you must leave the Rich Man's Sword behind; it's the organization's property."

"So what if I quit?" The Earth Swordsman snapped back angrily. "But before that, I need to report to the Holy Lord..."

"stop!"

Reika Kamishiro spoke calmly.

"Your family is able to live a peaceful life thanks to the organization. Without the organization, what do you think would have happened?"

"you……"

"Think it over carefully."

Passing past the Earth Swordsman who was barely containing his anger, Reika Kamishiro coldly crossed her arms and glanced at the other swordsmen.

"Letting Kamiyama Touma go is not impossible, as long as you can retrieve that demonic sword. What really made Kamiyama Touma lose control may not be the forbidden book, but that demonic sword."

Everyone present remained silent until Reika Kamishiro left the front hall with a cold snort, at which point they exchanged glances.

The Earth Swordsman gritted his teeth and clenched his fingers.

He had long disliked Reika Kamishiro.

"She acts like a tyrant just because the Holy Lord is backing her up. How can someone like that be an envoy? If she weren't a woman, I would have beaten her up!"

Looking at his preoccupied companions, the Earth Swordsman took a deep breath, turned around, and walked out of the base.

"I'm going to pick my son up from school. You guys figure it out."

"Mr. Onoe..."

Thinking of the wind power that had been taken from him, the Wind Swordsman finally gritted his teeth and stood up.

"I know the weakness of that demonic sword!"

……

Press.

Mei Sudo brought the White Sword to work as always, but used a slightly larger handbag as a cover. Fortunately, the White Sword was not usually very big.

Even so, the hilt of the sword is still exposed.

Mei Sudo originally wanted to decorate with a ribbon, but Natsukawa ruthlessly suppressed her, so she had to give up for the time being.

"Sister Xue, this is Fei Yuzhen's original manuscript for this month, and she's also written next month's manuscript in advance."

"If everyone were as easy to talk to as Professor Kamiyama, that would be great."

Shirai Yuki happily flipped through the original manuscript.

"But Mei, shouldn't you show some respect to Mr. Kamiyama? It's so rude of you to call him by his first name every time."

"Really? Fei Yuzhen isn't an outsider."

Mei Sudo proudly puffed out her chest.

She didn't care before, and she's even less likely to change now.

She could be even more arrogant now.

"What's there to be proud of? No one's praising you." Shirai Yuki wiped her sweat speechlessly.

Mei treats all writers the same, not just Touma, and never uses honorifics.

Only Fei Yuzhen has a good temper.

"Seriously, when will you ever get a promotion?"

"I have a new goal now," Mei Sudo said wistfully, crossing her arms and clenching her fingers. "I want to become a swordsman! The strongest swordsman!"

Shirai Yuki picked up her pen and tapped it on the table: "Is the investigation report on the disappearance case complete?"

"I forgot to write it..."

Mei Sudo was terrified, her legs went weak, and she grabbed the edge of the table for support.

"Editor-in-chief, please grant me a few more days, considering I saved the world?"

"No, finish writing it today."

"call!"

Across from the publishing house, on a tall building, the armored figure of the Dark Swordsman stood silently by the railing, observing Sudo Mei and Shirai Yuki's conversation.

The Dark Sword possesses the ability to foresee the future.

The future visions appeared again and again, but Sudo Mei, who wielded the white sword, could not see through them.

After a day of continuous tracking and observation, nothing particularly unusual was found.

To be honest, Sudo Mei doesn't seem like a swordsman at all.
