Its weakness was fire, and yet h.e.l.lfire of Obliteration only did that much damage…

In that case, I had no choice but to search for something that was more powerful than h.e.l.lfire of Obliteration…but was there such a thing?

Even if there was, would I have enough MP to use it?

As I thought about this…there was a knock on the door .

I used the slime’s senses to check for a magic reaction and saw that a single person was standing on the other side of the door .

I don’t know…something about the magic reaction was odd compared to a normal human .

“Who is it?”

No one had visited me at an inn before .

…I should be cautious .

And so I created a barrier near the entrance as I opened the door… And standing there, was the priest who had been at the meeting .

Hadn’t he gone off to pray?

“I am Father Shtyle . …This is a rather impressive barrier . Did you make it just now?”

“Yeah . I was wondering if you would attack me . ”

I said as I removed the barrier…but I was still on my guard .

I did not know much about this priest .

But it seemed like he was no ordinary clergyman .

He had been the second most powerful in the church .

“I wouldn’t attack you . If anything, I am your ally . G.o.d told me to be . ”

“G.o.d told you?”

“I have a skill called ‘Revelation,’ which allows me to receive words from G.o.d . I obeyed them and came here today . …Perhaps this was why I was meant to come to this town in the first place . ”

So saying, Father Shtyle produced a shortsword from his pocket .

It was rusted and covered in scratches . But about 1 cm of the very tip was clean and smooth .

“I left the royal capital carrying this, as was G.o.d’s command . No one in the church understood its worth… But surely you know what to do with it?”

The priest said as he handed it to me .

I accepted it and appraised it with magic .

And then…something very interesting was displayed .

—————————————————————————————–

Shortsword of Kes.h.i.+s

A shortsword of unknown origin .

Concentrates the magic that the wielder activates into the sword’s tip .

Unbreakable .

Protection .

The last two words had no explanation and were very strange .

However… Perhaps this was what I was looking for .

In other words, I would be able to concentrate the power of h.e.l.lfire of Death .

The area of effect for h.e.l.lfire of Death was hundreds of times larger than the size of the Blue Dragon of Delight .

But if all of that power could be gathered to the tip of a sword, maybe we could defeat the dragon .

“Do you know how to use it?”

“Yeah . ”

I answered .

“That is good . G.o.d had not explained it to me, so I would have been very troubled if you asked me how to use it . ”

“So you just came without knowing anything…”

“Even if I didn’t know how, I knew it would be useful to you . …And so you may keep it . We only have about 2 days, so you should hurry . The later it gets, the stronger the dragon will be . ”

The priest said before turning around and walking away .

I’m finished here, he seemed to say .

“Where are you going?”

I knew the answer but thought I’d ask .

“To pray . ”

Father Shtyle said without slowing down .

It was just as I had expected .

As always, this priest was mysterious… Still, I was grateful for the sword .

…However… A ‘Revelation’ skill?

When I checked my status, I saw that I also carried that skill . But there were words in red above it that read, ‘you do not meet the requirements to use . ’

Apparently, it was a very special skill .
