Chapter 534: The Three Legendary Swords. Part-2.

"Astra also used the ’Sword of Salvation’ for a while back then... but she disappeared with King Allen after the thousand-year Demon extinction war..."

Kehrid can only be considered half a creator of these swords, so he himself has no way of knowing where they might end up and where they might go to in the future.

He created them, and the rest was all left for destiny to decide.

"The Third and the final sword I created was ’The Sword of Cosmic Order, Raksha’..."

While talking about that sword, Kehrid took a long sigh and spoke in an annoyed tone.

"All three of my swords are fundamentally different. Vinash has the least bit of consciousness; it’s not picky about its users, as it lets anyone use it and destroys its user regardless of who they are..."

"Astra is semi-self-conscious; it’s quite picky about its users but does not harm its user."

"The third sword, ’Raksha,’ is very different; it’s fully conscious of its existence, it’s highly intelligent and it refuses to chose an owner for itself, as it considers itself a real living being and won’t allow anyone to be its owner..."

Kehrid felt a bit nostalgic talking about his past, and the little kiddo Kifrid even fell asleep when listening to his long and detailed stories.

The room was very comfy and warm, and Kifrid didn’t find talking about the past interesting, so he fell asleep while laying his head on Rio’s lap.

Rio stroked the head of the little kid with his hand as he asked,

"So, how did King Allen use that ’sword’?"

Kehrid shook his head immediately at that question.

"King Allen could not use ’Raksha’ as a weapon; he treated it as a ’friend,’ and ’Raksha’ helped him voluntarily in his battles..."

"The ’Law’ of ’Cosmic Order’ had manifested itself in that weapon; it was capable of bending ’reality’ and the ’world’ itself to its whims!"

"It could bend or warp the space-time fabric itself... I myself don’t know the full extent of its abilities, as it never let anyone use it and never showed its true powers to anyone..."

"Not even King Allen got to use it to its fullest capabilities ever..."

Kehrid sighed as he spoke in a depressed tone.

"I don’t know what happened between them but ’Raksha’ left King Allen’s side..."

"When King Allen left this world for his journey, it was still with him, but it drifted back to me on its own one day..."

"It told me that it did not want to stay in the same ’universe’ as ’Allen’ anymore and it was very angry at ’Allen’..."

Kehrid drank a lot of beer in one gulp before continuing.

"I never saw that weapon after that day... It is very smart and it would be near impossible to find it if it doesn’t want to be discovered..."

"It might have really left our ’Universe,’ perhaps..."

Rio could only shake his head and sigh after hearing those words.

Many studies and scientists say that the appearance of dungeons happens because some foreign ’universes’ are colliding with this one.

So perhaps ’Raksha’ managed to bend the fabric of ’Reality’ and escape to some other ’Universe’ during that collision of ’worlds.’

In this kind of scenario, it would become impossible to find it again, and Rio can perhaps never even use it for himself.

’Forget it, I prefer my obedient and cute sword ’Vinash’ more than those other two...’

Rio shook his head and didn’t bother thinking further about the matter.

He had sword intent so powerful that he could use even a random stick as a sword and still do insane damage; he didn’t really need powerful artifacts or swords.

The reason Rio uses ’Vinash’ is also because of its ’soul-splitting’ skill.

’Wait... if the ’law’ of ’absolute destruction’ has manifested in this sword then ’soul-splitting’ is not the only thing it can do, right?’

’Perhaps in the future I can use it to shatter ’reality’ and the fabric of time and space too, right?’

The moment Rio thought about this matter, he felt his connection with his sword improve a little bit.

’Oh, so you also agree with it. how cute...’

"By the way, I read my father’s diary and it turns out when my father stole ’Vinash’ from the demon king’s treasury, there was a tablet beside it which had a prophecy recorded on it..."

{Forged in the Great Furnace of Cyria!

Forged for the greatest being!

This sword marks the beginning,

And the end of a cosmic law!}

"Do you know anything about this prophecy?"

Rio had found out about this prophecy from Irvin, but he didn’t want to bring his name forward in front of Kehrid, so he just made an excuse and said that his father’s diary mentioned it.

"Hmm? What? I never created something like that..."

Kehrid was also confused after hearing that prophecy; it turned out he had also never heard of such a prophecy.

"The Great Furnace of Cyria... ah, it’s been a millennium since I last heard that name!"

Kehrid smiled and said,

"According to the ancient history of the dwarf race that I know about, we dwarves once used to live on a planet called ’Cyria 229.’ It was a time when ’mana’ and ’miasma’ never existed in our universe..."

"I don’t know much about that age, but I know about the Great Furnace of Cyria... That was a powerful furnace; it was a marvel of great engineering. Its main power source was a ’Black Hole’!!"

Talking about that furnace, Kehrid was proud and very confident.

"I was the last master smith who got the chance to use it. it’s said that this furnace drifted to this planet along with us dwarves in ancient times when mana descended on this world..."

"I used that powerful furnace to create the ’three legendary swords! Only an artifact of that level could have created the foundation of sword powerful enough that the ’laws’ of the ’world’ could descend on them..."

Kehrid sighed and shook his head as he continued,

"Unfortunately, that marvel of engineering, that great furnace got destroyed after it helped in creating those three legendary swords..."

"Creating three powerful weapons was too much of a burden for it and it couldn’t stay functioning after that..."

"I actually used it on a faraway planet and that planet completely shattered along with the furnace..."

Using a furnace so powerful on this planet wouldn’t have been possible; thus, King Allen helped in shifting it to some faraway solar system and placed it on a barren planet.

This way, even after the furnace shattered, the earth remained unharmed; otherwise, the furnace’s shattering would have also destroyed it if it happened on earth.

"Even today, we haven’t been able to replicate the technology of that machine and it’s likely that no new legendary sword might be created ever in the future unless a new ’Chosen One’ needs them..."

"By the way... there is one more sword in the world that is considered very powerful..."

Kehrid narrowed his eyes as he spoke in a solemn tone.

"I don’t know who created it or if it really even exists, but I have heard that it’s also a very powerful weapon. I personally haven’t seen it though..."

"It’s called the ’Sword of Promised Destinies’!"
