Chapter 1164: Sayaka: Forget About Credibility
"What is this?"
Nina took the violin case, examining it carefully.
"This was sent under Lady Koyomi Shizuka's orders. I don't know what's inside either."
Sayaka pretended to casually observe the dean while speaking.
Outwardly, there seemed to be nothing unusual about her.
Her breathing and body temperature were no different from an ordinary human's.
Even for someone like Sayaka, a skilled Dance Witch proficient in curses, she couldn't detect anything special about the dean at first glance.
"Koyomi Shizuka? I see."
Nina immediately understood.
She placed her hand on the violin case. Without touching the seal, the case naturally dissolved like flowing water, turning into a puddle of liquid.
"Alchemy?"
Sayaka's eye twitched.
She dismantled the case through the Three Saints' seal?
It was important to note that the case itself wasn't entirely metal. The sudden melting occurred because the dean had instantly transformed the case into metal and then dissolved it!
She completed both steps in one breath without Sayaka even noticing. This person's mastery of alchemy was extraordinary!
After the case dissolved.
Nina didn't mind Sayaka's presence and took out the contents.
It was a single-handed sword gleaming with a cold light.
The tip was extremely fine, resembling a Chinese eight-sided Han sword in design, entirely covered in a silver sheen that reflected captivating radiance under the night sky.
A sword?
Was this what Lady Koyomi Shizuka had her deliver?
Some special cursed tool or magical instrument?
Sayaka pondered internally.
"So this sword is finally finished!"
Nina delightedly picked up the sword and swung it a couple of times.
From Sayaka's layman perspective, her swordsmanship seemed completely amateurish.
It didn't seem like the sword was meant for her use.
Nina's next words perfectly confirmed her suspicion.
"However, this isn't a weapon I can wield anyway."
With a wave of Nina's hand, the case reassembled into its original form.
She carefully placed the sword back into the case.
"Thank you, young lady. Please convey to Koyomi Shizuka that I've received the item and it will reach the right person."
Nina was immensely pleased.
Young lady? You don't look that old yourself.
While mentally complaining, Sayaka also felt slightly wary.
She knew this foreign-looking girl who appeared no older than seventeen or eighteen was probably a long-lived species like her master, or perhaps a human who had extended her lifespan through special means. She might already be hundreds of years old—definitely not someone to underestimate!
"If I may ask, who is the 'right person' the dean mentioned?"
Sayaka blinked, putting on an innocent expression.
If the Fourth True Ancestor was really on this Shinagawa Island as her master said, then this Adird Abbey was the only clue pointing to them. She had to seize this opportunity to probe further!
Nina's expression remained unchanged, whether she saw through Sayaka's ulterior motive or not.
She simply smiled cheerfully.
"The Ruler of the World."
"..."
Sayaka was utterly speechless.
If you didn't want to tell me, you could have just said so. No need to brush me off like that.
Wait a minute.
Could it be!
Is the Fourth True Ancestor really here, and does he/she actually want to conquer the world?!
It must be so!
Precisely because of this ambition to dominate the world, this director, as his/her subordinate, would use a nickname like "King of the World"—because the Fourth True Ancestor is preparing to make a move!
Sayaka felt she had uncovered the truth!
What did it mean that Lady Koyomi Shizuka asked her to deliver this sword here?
And why did this director speak so familiarly, saying, "So this sword has finally been completed"?
Could it be that our Lion King Organization is taking sides?
Sayaka felt her brain was about to short-circuit.
When she left the monastery, she even felt as if her mind was overheating.
"What on earth are the higher-ups thinking?"
This question became a lingering worry for Sayaka at that moment.
"Forget it, this is just my personal speculation. Maybe it's all a misunderstanding?"
Sayaka tried to calm herself.
It was better not to scare herself unnecessarily. She could wait until she had investigated the matter thoroughly before jumping to conclusions.
"Is this the back door of the monastery?"
Unconsciously, she realized she had strayed from her original path.
The door to the backyard was wide open not far away.
Sayaka immediately broke into a knowing smile.
"What does a vow of credibility matter?! If I can shake off that annoying guy, I'll gladly throw credibility out the window!"
With a face full of gleeful smiles, she stealthily slipped out through the back door.
The moment she saw the open world of freedom, she nearly burst into laughter.
Calm down, calm down. That annoying guy is still in the front yard. Now is not the time to let loose, or all her efforts would be in vain. She should wait until she was farther away—
"I knew you'd try to escape!"
But right then.
A dark figure leaped out from behind a nearby tree, pointing at her indignantly.
"You really have no credibility, woman! I regret ever saving you back then. Ah, the trauma in my heart keeps growing, and it's all your fault! You have to make it up to me!"
Sayaka's smile instantly froze on her face.
Staring at the boy with his face wrapped, her eyes regarded him as if he were a devil.
Why was this guy so sharp in this regard?!
...
Inside the monastery.
After seeing Sayaka off, Nina carried the violin case and entered the residential area in the backyard.
Not long after she closed the door.
A gray-black mist automatically gathered before her, coalescing into a very familiar young man.
"Master!"
Nina knelt respectfully, looking up at him with adoration.
From the bottom of her heart, she believed this person was the future King of the World!
The other True Ancestors were no match for her master!
Even if the gods and demons of myth were to return to the earth, they would only meet their demise at her master's hands!
"I haven't even thought about conquering the world yet, and you're already pulling this stunt!"
Eiji punched Nina on the head.
Nina looked innocent.
Her body, made entirely of metal, simulated all breathing and temperature but had no sense of pain.
"Isn't it only a matter of time for you, Master?"
"Well, that's not wrong."
Eiji nodded slightly in approval.
Immediately after, he stretched out his hand.
"Give me the sword."
"Yes, Master!"
Nina obediently discarded the violin case and carefully presented the slender silver sword.
Eiji grasped the hilt, lifting it before his eyes to examine it closely.
"From its appearance, no one would know this sword possesses the power to nullify all magical energy."
"Indeed, the Lion King Organization's Seventh Style Assault Anti-Demon Machine Gun. While it borrows power from the Celestial Heritage, it certainly has its unique qualities. Particularly the Divine Vibration Wave Drive System, which allows free manipulation of the holy spear's power - one could say it maximizes the potential of our predecessors' legacy. Though it has minor flaws, they're negligible for someone of your caliber, Master."
Nina marveled at the Lion King Organization's technology, yet her expression showed hesitation.
"But this sword can only be used by descendants of Methuselah. Since you clearly aren't one, Master, why did you have Kanase Koyomi forge this sword?"
