Flillian, I want to live.

Sturm turned his head in panic, only to see that the black-haired girl in a dress who had been following Xinmeier before had appeared behind him at some point, looking at him with a smile.

"My name is Guter."

Guter introduced himself to Sturm straight away.

"Ah...you, please don't tell Master Xinmeier, I, I just feel a little..."

Sturm looked at Gutel in front of him with some fear, put his hand on his chest, and spoke tremblingly.

"Curious, huh? I'm curious too."

Gutel reached out his hand and stroked the Brave Sword placed on the table, sliding his fingertips over the blade of the Brave Sword inch by inch.

"No matter how you look at it, this sword is very ordinary, even worse than those fakes on the street."

Gutel looked at the Sword of the Brave in front of him. As a legendary artifact, this sword was completely different from what people generally imagined. Not only did it not have any special effects of golden light, it was even covered with gaps and cracks, giving people the feeling that it was about to be scrapped.

Is this really the Sword of the Brave?

The first impression of this sword is just so strange.

"However, I once saw Xin Meier wield this sword and easily shatter a monster's shell, which was tougher than steel. It's really unreasonable, don't you think?"

Gutel tilted his head and looked at Sturmdao, who was staring at the Brave Sword with fascination.

"Can I, can I try?"

Sturm looked at Gutel who was playing with the Sword of the Brave, and mustered up the courage to ask him.

"Of course, but be careful."

Guter said generously to Sturm.

Just like what was just said, in Gutel's view, the Sword of the Brave is like scrap metal. No matter how she studies it, she cannot find out how this legendary sword that can save the world can exert its true power.

But Guter could probably guess why.

It must be because of his identity as a demon that he is unable to unleash the power of the Brave Sword.

So, Guter decided to conduct an experiment on Sturm.

Perhaps only humans can be recognized by the Sword of the Brave.

Sturm nervously reached out and grasped the hilt of the Sword of the Brave.

According to legend, no one has ever been recognized by this sword except the brave Sinmeier. For thousands of years, it has always been sealed in the stone platform.

Although it has now been pulled out by Xin Meir, is he really qualified to use it?

Sturm wasn't sure either.

"Ahhh!"

Sturm used all his strength to lift up the Sword of the Brave that Xinmeier had placed on the stage.

"How about it?"

Gutel looked at Sturm who raised the Sword of the Brave and asked in surprise.

"Ah... seems to be lighter than expected?"

Sturm thought it was impossible for him to lift the Sword of the Brave, but in fact he completely wasted his energy.

Compared to the long sword he usually used when practicing swordsmanship, the Sword of the Brave was not particularly special in weight.

Then, Sturm tried to swing the Sword of the Brave in his hand.

Sure enough.

Sturm wielded the Sword of the Brave smoothly, just like he did during his usual training.

"Oh?"

Gutel raised his eyebrows. Could it be that the boy in front of him, like Xinmeier, was also recognized by the Sword of the Brave?

"I, I'm going to tell my father. He will definitely be very happy!"

After performing a sword dance with the Sword of the Brave, Sturm's face showed an unprecedented excitement. He turned to look at Gutel and said happily.

"That's just not enough, I'm afraid."

Guter reached out and placed his hand on Sturm's shoulder.

"Eh?"

Hearing Gutel's words, Sturm was stunned for a moment.

"Will your father believe your one-sided story?"

Guter put his finger to his lips, showing a slightly confused expression.

"what……"

Guter's words were like a bucket of cold water poured on Sturm's head.

Indeed, given his father's personality, it was impossible for him to believe that he had been recognized by the Sword of the Brave. Instead, he would blame him for touching the important artifact without permission.

"You should do something practical to prove to your father that you are indeed qualified to wield the Sword of the Brave."

Guter lowered his head and whispered in Sturm's ear.

"prove?"

Sturm raised his head in confusion and looked at Gutel.

"Didn't your father say you didn't dare to fight? Are you still afraid now?"

Guter suggested to Sturm in a bewitching tone.

"I……"

Sturm hesitated for a moment due to his naturally weak character. Under normal circumstances, he would never fight those terrifying monsters.

But today is different.

Sturm looked down at the Brave Sword that he was holding tightly.

If I had this sword, perhaps I could really become a great man like the brave Sinmeier.

Sturm suddenly realized that this might be his only chance in this life.

Chapter 113: If you don't punish him for three days, he will tear off the roof tiles

"Ouch——"

When the afterglow of the setting sun completely disappeared beyond the horizon, outside the tightly closed city gates, the monsters that had been dormant during the day also became restless.

"what……"

This was Sturm's first time experiencing flying today. Being timid, he held onto Gutel's arm tightly, fearing that the girl who said she wanted to take him out for a trial would let go and drop him.

"Well, it seems there is one right here."

Above the woods where he had met the Count before, Guter was exploring the situation and soon found his target.

Guter landed on the ground, loosened his grip, and pushed Sturm out.

"Huh? Where? Why didn't I see it?"

Although he heard from Gutel that there was a monster here that could prove his identity, in the darkness, Sturm could not see where the so-called enemy was.

"It's okay. Legend has it that monsters will be attracted to the sword of the brave, so as long as you stay here, the monsters will naturally come to you."

As Guter spoke, he flew into the air, sat on a branch nearby, and explained to Sturm from a high vantage point.

"Ah... Sister Guter, won't you accompany me?"

Sturm turned around and found that Guter was no longer behind him. When he raised his head, he could not see Guter at all through the dense branches and leaves.

"The so-called trial, of course, depends on you."

Guterre said, shaking his legs and laughing like a child waiting for the movie to start.

"Ah, that's right..."

Sturm clenched the Brave Sword in his hand and spoke tremblingly.

In the interval of their conversation, in the bushes nearby, a pair of eyes flashing red had already stared at Sturm, who had not yet noticed the danger.

"hiss……"

The monster slowly exhaled a breath of foul air. It had already noticed the Sword of the Brave in Sturm's hand. Although the prey was just a child, the weapon in his hand could still hurt it, so it had to kill it with one blow.

After adjusting its body shape, the monster suddenly launched an attack. Its strong hind legs burst out with tremendous power, allowing it to fly out of the bushes and fall straight towards the boy's most vulnerable neck.

As long as it could bite the boy's neck, it was confident that it could tear the boy's head off in an instant and swallow it whole.

Dang~

However, the moment it opened its bloody mouth, Sturm suddenly moved. He gripped the sword and turned his body. When the sword and fangs collided, golden sparks even burst out in the darkness, and the monster, which was hit hard, rolled and fell to the ground beside it.

"Ah, ah..."

Sturm's body was already drenched in sweat, and he moved almost subconsciously. When the swords collided, his knuckles felt so painful that it seemed as if they were about to split.

"Roar……"

The monster, with half of its teeth knocked out, growled angrily and slowly got up from the ground.

"It's a demon wolf..."

Under the moonlight, Sturm finally saw the shape of his enemy. The monster in front of him had gray fur. Compared with ordinary wild wolves, it was much stronger. Huge fangs were exposed outside the mouth, with a strange luster like metal.

"Hmm~"

Gutel observed the confrontation between the wolf and the man with great interest. The Wolf was a common monster on the land. While not as powerful as a dragon, it still possessed overwhelming strength for ordinary humans. To defeat a Wolf, a team of ten or more adventurers was usually needed. As for why such a large force was mobilized...

"Ahhh-"

Sturm's roar interrupted Guter's thoughts.

As if to give himself courage, Sturm roared, raised the Sword of the Brave, and attacked the demon wolf in front of him.

"Roar--"

The demon wolf roared and pounced.

Unlike the previous sneak attack, Sturm saw with his own eyes the sharp fangs of the magic wolf that could easily tear his body apart. If it were in the past, he would not have had the courage to draw his sword, let alone the courage to escape. He was directly frightened to faint.

But now it's different.

Sturm clenched the "borrowed" sword of the brave in his hand.

This is not a wooden sword used for practice, but the real sword of the brave that was used by the brave Xinmeier to kill the devil.

I can do it.

Sturm half-crouched down, nimbly dodged the sharp attack of the magic wolf, then raised the sword of the brave in his hand and stabbed it hard into the fragile skin of the magic wolf's throat.

Although the huge body of the magic wolf still knocked Sturm to the ground.

However, the demon wolf, pierced by the brave sword, quickly moved to the northwest, and its body turned into black smoke and gradually dissipated.

"what……"

Until the demon wolf completely disappeared, Sturm, who was panting, still couldn't believe that he had actually killed the powerful monster with his own hands.

Is this the power of the brave sword?

Sturm looked at the Brave Sword still stained with the blood of the Demon Wolf, and this thought came to his mind.

"I succeeded, Sister Guter, please take me back."

Sturm looked up and called out to Guter.

"Eh? Go back? Isn't this just the beginning?"

However, a troubled expression suddenly appeared on Guter's face.

"just started?"

Sturm blinked in confusion.

However, he would soon understand the meaning of Guter's words.

The reason why it takes more than ten adventurers to defeat a monster like the Demon Wolf is because it is different from other solitary monsters. Like ordinary wolves, it also has the habit of living in groups and hunting together.
