CHAPTER 14

“Is… is this real?” breathed Minerva.

The amount of treasure covering the floor would probably be enough to sustain the Kingdom for more than a century. Furthermore, they could see several magic items half-buried in the mountain of gold. Judging by Evander’s reputation, each of those was probably items heard of only in the legends.

“T-That sword!” Minerva was panting from excitement. “I-It looks exactly like the weapon used by Evander when he fought the Demon Lord’s army!”

Wisgarus looked at the sword held by the golden pillar. Its translucent white blade gave off a soft glow, its platinum hilt embedded with five gemstones of different colors. According to the legends, each of those gemstones represented the five basic elements.

The Sword of Morpheus.

A sword capable of changing its shape in accordance with its master’s will. It could become a staff, a shield, a spear, a bow, a bracelet. The blade was made of crystallized mana from the Dragon Vein below. The hilt was made of adamantite, and each of the five gemstones was made from the core of an Elemental.

According to legends, the blade was capable of absorbing tremendous amounts of ambient mana in the surroundings, and the five gemstones render it capable of performing high-level spells, while reducing the cast time of magic formations.

It was the most prized treasure of Evander Alaester. After his death, numerous magicians and demons tried searching for this weapon, but to no avail.

This weapon—capable of even cutting through adamantite—was the inspiration when the first maginus was created.

Who would have thought that his disciples hid the weapon inside this labyrinth?

The two royal court magicians knew that whoever gets their hands on that treasure would gain unfathomable strength. Peerless power capable of destroying even a tribe of dragons. Overwhelming strength capable of stopping a Demon Lord’s army on their own.

Minerva swallowed dry spit. She trembled as she stared at the Sword of Morpheus. The beauty of this sword shamed even her most prized possessions. She knew she had to get her hands on this weapon no matter what.

Without warning, she ran toward the golden pillar and grabbed the sword.

“Are you an idiot!” yelled Wisgarus. “What if there are traps!”

Minerva salivated as she caressed the sword in her hand. She took it out of the golden pillar and rubbed it against her cheeks. Like a maniac, she repeatedly murmured, “The Sword of Morpheus… the Sword of Morpheus!”

Wisgarus looked around nervously, afraid that some trap would suddenly activate inside the treasure room. Right now, just a single look at Minerva was enough for him to arrive at the conclusion that the woman had lost it. She had given in to her greed.

Ever since she was young, this female magician loved beautiful things—and this sword was definitely the most beautiful artifact they’d seen in their life. No wonder she was so rapt by it.

As Minerva was rubbing the sword against her cheeks, the symbols carved on the walls glowed. The ground shook, the mountain of gold coins clanked, and a deafening roar was heard outside.
