Chapter 66 : A sword only he can weild

The aura exuding from Embra shakes the furnace and the poor stone table breaks down as it could not handle Embra's aura. The old man was overwhelmed and unconsciously falls down on his back with a face full of sweat.

The three girls are not fazed but, they smile satisfied with Embra's aura. Embra also feels incredible power coursing through him and he feels more confident than ever.

'Sh*t. This feels fu*king good. Hee... I see this is the feeling of the strong, huh? But, this is not my own power yet. I will reach this place with my own strength. Right now, I think, I am gonna need a little bit of decoration to my sword. Oops! Does the old man fall? *smile* Now, I can clearly feel the difference between him and me.

Hm... I think I have a 60% chance of killing the old man as I am right now. *laugh* well, let's not bully the old man anymore. He still needs to make a sheath for this and a little bit of decoration.' (Embra's thought)

Though he is calculating based on the strength he is feeling from the old man, Embra is no doubt that he can kill this old man if he feels like it. But, he does not scare the old man anymore as he still needs some things from the old man. First thing first, he wants to decorate the plain sword in his hand and he is gonna need a sheath too, to suit his taste.

So, Embra gently appears in front of the old man and hands him the sword with two hands. He laughs seeing the old man retreats a little in fear of the sword. But, he reassures the old man and asks him politely to make him a sheath along with a few decorations on the sword too.

The old man nods and tells Embra to put his sword, leaning on the wall while he takes some measure. While the old man and Embra are talking about which kind of sheath to make, Algadore generously offers a patch of dragon skin for the sheath. Sethar also gives the old man some silver, platinum, and diamond while Keinnayi gives a paper to the old man.

On the paper is the design of the sword sheath along with the decorated sword blade. The old man accepts all of them and makes some final effort for Embra's sword.

An hour later, Embra can be seen wielding a huge white sword in a black leather sheath, among the sea of clouds. He is wearing a long black leather coat and on the back of the leather coat is a long empty sheath. Yep. Because there is excessive dragon skin, the old man makes two sheaths for the sword. The first sheath is for covering the sharp blade of the sword and the second is to carry around the sword.

Well, the old man intended to make the second sheath so that the sword is easy to carry around but, because Embra's height is just five feet, the sword is bigger than himself when he wears the sword behind him. So, right now, he plans to just store the sword in the inventory.

After swinging the sword around for a few minutes, Embra feels satisfied and returns back to the temple where the old man is waiting with a sword and a book. The sword is a demon-slayer sword forged using the remaining scrap metals with a few Scarletite. It was Embra's request to the old man because no matter how strong he is, he would no doubt become a wanted man if he were to walk around carrying a big 7 feet long sword.

That's why he asked for a smaller blade like a tento so that he can behead a demon after fighting with a normal sword. But, it seems, the old man forged him a katana. Embra smiles seeing the katana and walks towards the old man after keeping both the coat and the huge sword in inventory.

"Old man, I cannot thank you enough. I am grateful for your sword. Both of them." (Embra)

"Nah. Don't be. That was my punishment and the fang chose you. It was not mine in the first place anyway. Well, here. The demon-slayer sword and the 'breath' technique. This will make you strong, no doubt." (Old god)

Embra received both of the sword and the book with two hands to show his politeness. The book about 'Breath' is something he asked from the old man while complaining about how weak he was without the huge sword. He has to watch his words so that he doesn't incidentally speak of the word, 'Breath' and show that he knows about this world.

So, now that Embra gets a sword, they have to go back to the two creator goddesses and discuss his second reward, 'land'. But, as Keinnayi is making a gate to return back to the separate dimension, the old man calls out to Embra.

"Embra. Please wait. I have something else to give you." (Old god)

"Oi.Oi, Old man, I think I have taken much from you though. What else is left?" (Embra)

The three girls are also confused but, the old man took out an ancient-looking huge iron box from the black hole without minding their confusion. Keinnayi, Algadore, and Sethar who can feel the divinity from the iron box raise their eyebrow in surprise. Embra could not see the three's expressions as he is looking at the iron box intently. The old man opens the box to reveal a set of armor inside together with a shield.

"As a god who rules this world, I have the right to invite any individual to the trial of true-self but, I have to offer them a reward. And, this is the reward I offered to you when I invited you to the trial of true-self. The divine armor, Klerksdorp, forged in the sun and have complete immunity to any fire including Heaven fire. It was the sun god's armor. Take it. It is now rightfully yours. " (Old god)

'Huh? What da pha... Divine armor? Sun god's armor? What the hell... Is there a trap somewhere here? I have been receiving great things, Oi. Is there a trap I failed to see somewhere? Where is it?' (Embra's thought)

It is no surprise that Embra was flustered and looks around to see some physical trip and dig around in his head to recall past events and find someone's plot. But, he could not see. Even though he is using all of his brainpower, he could not see whether he is under someone's else plot because every event that happened has its own purpose and every reward has its own reasons too.

Keinnayi laughs a little and holds Embra's hand to make him get out of his thoughts. She is already used to Embra not being able to hear anything when he concentrated. So, she has to hold his hand.

"Don't think too far. There is no plot going around. The old man has already said that the armor rightfully belongs to you. So, take it. Oh and, it is useless for you right now as you don't have divinity yet but, after you became a god, it will come in handy. So, keep it around in the inventory." (Keinnayi)

"Really? Is it okay to receive this much in a day? Even for me, these things are so priceless." (Embra)

"Nyahaha. It might be so for the past you but, you are no longer 'just' the wealthiest man in the world. You are now a man aiming to become a god. So, everything including, rewards you will get, the effort you have to make, the path you will walk, and the willpower you must have to achieve the goal will all be on another level compared to your past life. If you want it, you can take all the wealth of this world, by yourself. I am not kidding." (Algadore)

"Remember, Embra. You are a man aiming to become a god. The wealthiest man in the world? That was nothing but, a useless title. Do not think that title is great enough? You will be controlling thousands of world under you if you become a god similar in status with Sister Dewei. So, don't be bound by the wealth of a single world. It is nothing." (Sethar)

"..." (Embra)

'That is right, isn't it? FU*k. Can't believe, I am still tied down by that title in my previous life. Wake up Embra. You are now walking on a path to godhood. Wake the fu*k up, a**hole' (Embra's thought)

Embra reminded himself again and after looking at Keinnayi who is smiling sweetly at him, Embra says to the three girls while also bowing his head.

"Thank you, all of you. I am grateful for the reminder." (Embra)

"Nyaha. No problem." (Algadore)

"Imm." (Sethar)

"No need to, My dear. It is my duty." (Keinnayi)

Embra smiles and gratefully accept the iron box from the old man. Together, all of them return to the separate dimension to meet with the two creator goddesses and discuss the 'Land' reward. While walking to the white gate created by Keinnayi, Embra is already using all of his brainpower and come up with an idea to choose which land as a reward. He swore himself that, he won't let himself be reminded of the fact that he is aiming for the godhood again.
