“A sword corrupting a person? Human, do you really think humans are so weak?”
“…….”
“If he’s corrupted, he must have been corrupted himself and then blamed it on me.”
“But earlier…”
“I said I would demand a price.”
Deneros let out a sound almost like a sigh.
“Is that the same as corruption?”
“…….”
Thinking about it, Deneros never told me that he would harm me with his own mouth.
Of course, it could be deception…
“I’m like a parasite.”
Deneros explained quietly.
“I always have to take something from my master. So there were people who died after being drained by me.”
I bit my lip.
Deneros’ words made sense.
But, if that’s true…
‘Did Hades corrupt himself?’
It was hard to accept.
The Hades Croitner I actually saw was by no means someone who would corrupt himself unless it was some strange dark magic.
“So, your abilities are nothing special?”
I tried to change the subject.
“Who said that!”
Deneros was outright furious.
“I just act as much as my master gives me!”
“What do I have to give?”
“Strength.”
Deneros answered without hesitation.
“I need strength. Anything is fine. Magicians offered me magic, swordsmen offered me swordsmanship. Priests offered me holy power…….”
I tilted my head.
“But on the first day I caught you, I wielded you without using anything like holy power, what’s that?”
Deneros proudly emitted a white light.
“That’s because I’m a famous sword!”
You said something different just now, you brat…
“I can somehow manage swordsmanship. That’s why you don’t need to bother learning swordsmanship from that whippersnapper.”
“It won’t hurt to learn anyway.”
I shrugged my shoulders.
“I might have to use another sword besides you.”
“You’re going to use another sword when I’m here?”
The light turned reddish and blinked menacingly.
“You think I’ll just stand by?”
“……Alright, understood.”
Before we knew it, we had arrived at the underground lake.
‘Just as I thought, it’s the same.’
Except for one thing, the lake was not frozen.
“Be thankful, human.”
I heard Denesor’s voice.
“Just stick me into the bottom of the lake. Then, I’ll divert the water as you wish.”
“……The bottom?”
I can’t swim.
I’m not afraid of water.
I just never learned to swim.
“Yes, the bottom. Preferably right in the center.”
I swallowed hard.
Go to the middle of that huge lake?
‘I can’t!’
I frantically looked around.
Luckily, I saw a wooden plank.
“You, surely…… can’t swim?”
“Shut up.”
After placing Denesor on the plank, I pushed it toward the inside of the lake.
‘……Cold.’
Fortunately, the edge of the lake was not very deep.
At first, the water only came up to my shins.
But before long, it was up to my waist, then my chest, and then up to my nose.
It was still a long way to the center of the lake.
I took a brief breath, then began to dog paddle, holding onto the plank.
Finally, I reached the center of the lake.
I gritted my teeth.
My whole body felt like it was going to freeze, and I had no idea how deep the dark water was.
‘But…… I have to.’
I tightly closed my eyes and grasped Denesor.
Could it be because of its original weight, even though it felt light to me?
I held it and curled my body, then sank rapidly into the lake.
The fear of being pressed down by the water was momentary.
“Stick it!”
At Denesor’s cry, I impulsively drove the pointed end into the bottom of the lake.
At the same time, Denesor began to vibrate violently.
No, the entire lake vibrated.
I endured, holding onto the handle of Denesor.
I felt the whole lake shake, and a waterway form, in my body.
‘I need to pour in divine power. Divine power.’
Denesor had said it would require a price.
I quickly breathed my meager divine power into it.
‘……It’s not enough.’
I could feel it intuitively.
Compared to this great lake, which had become the lifewater of the entire fortress, Denesor and my power were far too weak.
Only then did a question that I should have had earlier come to my mind.
‘If the divine power is sucked out, what gets sucked out?’
And also something Denesor itself had said.
“So there were people who were sucked dry and died.”
Could it be…… Could it really kill me?
But my dimming vision was telling me a completely different conclusion from my optimistic thoughts.
Before the last shred of consciousness was severed, a pointless thought crossed my mind.
‘……I hope that human is safe…….’

Short scene 2:
