Chapter 328 - 327 - Getting to know the dragon.

POV: Mikoto

As soon as we entered the Dungeon, Luan wanted to go down to the 20th floor. However, it had been a long time since I last explored the Dungeon, so I asked him not to. I don’t feel confident exploring the lower floors right now.

Besides, I want to test my new sword.

So Luan teleported us to the 10th floor.

I’m always impressed whenever he uses that teleportation ability. I just can’t get used to it. As soon as we arrived on the 10th floor, the mist filled my vision.

But since I’ve explored these floors before and my senses are sharp, it’s not a problem.

Luan’s senses are even sharper than mine, so just seconds later he found a monster for me to test my new sword on. It was an Orc. I’ve fought Orcs before—they’re dangerous monsters.

One attack is enough to kill you if you’re not careful.

But I’m confident.

"You can test your sword on it," Luan said.

"Alright." I nodded, looking at him seriously.

Then I walked toward the Orc. With each step I took, I grew more nervous. After all, it’s been a long time since I’ve faced a monster. To be honest, I’m relying heavily on this sword.

I’m ready to run if necessary.

Besides, Luan is here. Everything will be fine. Luan is probably the strongest adventurer in Orario right now. His aura is unmatched. He could probably kill Ottar if he wanted to.

Alright, focus. I gripped the hilt of my sword tightly and held it with one hand as I approached the Orc. But when it noticed me and charged in my direction, I grabbed the sword with both hands.

Then I activated the sword’s ability.

My magic was drained, but less than I expected. The blade began to glow brightly. My eyes widened as I saw the Orc approaching quickly. Take this! I shouted in my mind and swung my sword upward.

The moment I did, I felt my body pushed slightly backward. Then something was created—something invisible, but judging by its shape, it was probably a gigantic blade. The Orc was cut in half and died instantly.

But it wasn’t only the Orc that was sliced apart. The ground, the trees—everything in the path of the attack was cut through. Even the mist was blown away by the force of it.

I looked at Luan and asked, "Luan... Is this real?"

My heart was racing. It felt like I had obtained a power I shouldn’t possess. This is too much—this ability is far too powerful. I could probably even kill a dragon with this.

The structure of the Dungeon was damaged! A massive hole had been carved into the ground.

I took a few steps back and looked at the sword with the black blade. Can I really keep this?

"You’re thinking something unnecessary, aren’t you?" Luan approached and placed a hand on my shoulder. Then he looked at the hole in the ground and sighed. "Huff... Impressive, isn’t it?"

"This is too much, Luan. I can’t keep this sword."

"Of course you can. I have an even better sword than that one."

Hearing those words left me stunned.

"What do you mean by that?"

"Do you want to see it?" Luan smiled mischievously.

For a moment, I thought he meant something perverted again, but Luan said, "Stop thinking nonsense." Then he pulled out a completely black sword from his inventory. His sword matched mine.

"That sword is better than the one I’m holding?"

"Yes, it’s better. Please don’t tell anyone about this sword. It—"

Luan began explaining all of the sword’s abilities. He said it contained the soul of a true dragon—a dragon whose origin he doesn’t know, but one that is extremely powerful. He also said that even monsters from the lower floors fear that sword.

He said the sword itself emits a threatening aura.

"Besides that." Luan released the sword, and it began to fly.

"What is this!?" I stared at it as it flew at high speed in every direction. After a few seconds, it returned to Luan’s hand with a shattered magic stone at its tip.

"It has a will of its own. I can communicate with the dragon inside it. It saved me once, you know?"

"You can communicate with it? Do you think I could do that too?" I asked. I’m very curious about how that works.

"So, can you talk to her?" he said, looking at the sword.

The sword flew out of Luan’s hand and approached me. It felt as if I were staring at a predator. I felt extremely nervous looking at that blade. After a few seconds...

[ So you’re one of his women. Not bad. He has good taste. ]

I heard a deep voice inside my head.

I looked around, then at the sword.

"Was that you who said that?"

"Is he talking to you? What did he say?" Luan asked.

"He’s saying unnecessary things." I let out a small laugh.

[ It’s not unnecessary. I just said he has good taste in women, since this human is beautiful. ]

"I see." Luan laughed.

This time he said it for both of us to hear.

"Please don’t say things like that. I get very embarrassed."

[ Alright, alright. If you’ll excuse me, I’ll go back to sleep. ]

After that, Luan grabbed the sword and stored it away. Then he asked, "So, what did you think? Fun, right?"

"Do you trust him?" I asked.

Even if it’s just a sword, he’s still a living being. He could try to do something against Luan.

"Don’t worry. I trust him." Luan smiled.

I hope that dragon really is a good "person"...
