Weakened

It didn't move…

The sword stuck on the stone didn't even budge after pulling it…

"Hahaha! I knew it!" Rufus laughed after noticing that Diether failed to take the sacred sword with him. It is finally his turn.

However, the young man wasn't accepting it yet.

Hmph! Hmph!

Diether tried a couple more times but it was really unmoved by his pulling force.

"Haaa~ I'm not the fated one, huh…"

'I probably used all my luck just to meet Master Reiji.' The young man thought after noticing that there was no point forcing himself to own the sacred sword. Anyway, if he gets to choose where to use his luck, he'd rather use it on the mysterious Sentient Arcana rather than this picky sword.

He looked at Rufus who was also confident in his strides. 

"Heh… Let's see if you could pull it up. I think that what is needed isn't the fated person but an Arcanist capable of removing such curse."
