Fate cannot control Rio or govern his future, as heâs an âAnomaly,â a glitch in the matrix of this world.
But it can give Rio suggestions, and itâs up to Rio to follow them if he wants to or not.
Rio needed to save Liam either way, so he decided to follow this suggestion and came to the dwarf kingdom.
âThe power of fate and destiny really is quite strong... no wonder those protagonists in the novels and movies are so strong and near unkillable...â
Fade was also a protagonist, and his life would have been very smooth sailing too if not for the presence of an âAnomalyâ like Rio.
"You said earlier that this is a very dangerous and uncontrollable weapon and the âlawâ of âAbsolute Destructionâ has manifested in it..."
"Then how come you managed to create such a powerful weapon... Is it possible to even create something like this? How did you make a âlawâ of the âworldâ manifest into this weapon..."
Kehrid sighed at Rioâs words and explained patiently.
"The thing is I created three âLegendary Swordsâ in my entire lifetime, and all three were created around the same time and for the same person..."
"That extraordinary person was King Allen Von Reinhart! He was a âChild of Heavensâ! He was blessed with heavenly luck! And the world itself!"
Kehrid narrowed his eyes as he continued to speak.
"The heavenly luck is a very powerful existence; to help its favored child, it can go to any extent!"
"I was already a very talented master smith and an SS-ranker by the time I met him, and he needed weapons that could withstand his immense strength while also fulfilling particular functions!"
Rio could already guess what Kehrid was going to say next.
"I truly believe that his âHeavenly Luckâ influenced me in that time and to provide its favored child with âLegendary Weapons,â it used me as a medium..."
"I created three powerful blades with extremely precious metals that just âhappenedâ to be available by sheer âcoincidence,â and then I happened to reach a perfect mind and body âflowâ state in that time by âcoincidenceâ..."
"Finally, three different âlawsâ of the âworldâ happened to manifest into my creations... once again by sheer âcoincidenceâ all by themselves..."
What Kehrid was trying to say was simple.
He only created a basic foundation for the weapon; everything else was done by the âHeavenly Luckâ and the âWorldâ itself.
All this was done just so King Allen, âThe Chosen One,â can have weapons that could improve his strength tremendously!
Kehrid raised one finger and spoke in a solemn voice.
"The first sword was âThe Sword of Destruction, Vinash.â The âlawâ of âEndâ and âDestructionâ manifested inside it and evolved it to an absolute artifact of mass destruction."
"This weapon was first used by King Allen... I donât know how it ended up in the treasury of the demon king later on, but Kevin Flash stole it from there..."
"Last time I enquired about its location, I found out that Kevin Flash had died and the âWeaponâ had gone missing ever since..."
Kehrid looked at Rio and a faint smile appeared on his face.
"I quite happy that this powerful weapon has not been lost and thereâs a new inheritor whoâs able to deal with this weapon even better than that weirdo himself..."
Rio was surprised by Kehridâs words.
"Wait, you mean even King Allen could not control this weapon? That canât be possible, right? he was such a strong person..."
Kehrid smiled at Rioâs words and said,
"Do you think anyone can fully âcontrolâ a âlawâ whose only motive for existence is âDestructionâ of the âworldâ and âendâ of everything..."
"That sword seems to have formed a bond with your soul itself, which is actually very weird... I donât know why this has happened..."
"But right now itâs in a very suppressed state, as you are still too weak to handle it, but when you get stronger, it will also unseal itself..."
Kehrid stroked his beard and asked in a confused tone,
"Actually, I am also surprised... why is this âuncontrollableâ weapon behaving so âdocileâ and âcalmlyâ when itâs with you?"
"Itâs very weird... Are you perhaps an âillegitimate childâ of the demon king or something?"
Rio almost punched that old dwarf in the face at that question.
âHow many people are going to ask me this same question!!!!?â
"Would it matter if I were a demon or not? To your disappointment I am actually just a normal human..."
Kehrid frowned at Rioâs words and said,
"Well... this weapon is hell-bent on wanting to destroy the âworld,â so it might favour âdemonsâ and corrupted beings more compared to others..."
"Demon Kings are perhaps the best host for this sword... but still, even then it will not be this âdocileâ... you are clearly not an ordinary human, as you claim yourself to be..."
Kehrid waved his hand and refused to believe Rioâs words.
"I will never drink wine or beer in my life again if you turned out to be a normal kid. I bet my life on this sentence..."
Rio could only sigh helplessly at those words.
He did not want to reveal the fact that he was a transmigrator so he changed the topic.
"Forget about me; talk about the other two swords. I want to know about them too..."
Kehrid didnât want to dig too deep into Rioâs secrets either, as he had no motivation or reason to do that; he knew that everyone in the world had secrets that they didnât want to tell anyone, and it was a better idea to not dig too deep into those hidden secrets.
"The second one was âThe Sword Of Salvation, Astraâ! I named that weapon âAstraâ because its powers and properties resembled that human woman âAstraâ a lot..."
Kehrid had met âAstraâ before along with King Allen, and he knew about her powers.
"Astra was a very kind person and similar to her, this sword was also working on the same principles..."
"The âlawsâ of âlove, care, and protectionâ manifested in this weapon and created a sword that could bring âsalvation,â âhope,â âpurification,â and âprotectionâ to all beings!"
"It was not a âweapon,â to be specific; it was an artifact that could âsaveâ millions of lives and even heal billions of beings at the same time!"
Kehrid felt very proud when talking about this particular sword.
"It was a very lovely weapon; unlike âVinash,â even ordinary people could hold it and they wonât get any injuries; at most, they wonât be able to use its powers..."
"In fact, back when I was creating it, I accidently cut my finger when put âVinashâ away and when I held âAstra,â it automatically healed me without me even needing to activate its powers..."
Kehrid smiled sightly as he once again stroked his beard and said,
"That weapon seemed to have a little bit of consciousness of itself; it could choose its user, and it could even dull its own blade if it wanted to just so others wouldnât get hurt by its edges..."
"It was King Allenâs favorite weapon! I think he took it with him when he left this world... I seriously have no idea about its current whereabouts..."
Rio felt quite fascinated hearing about such a weapon.
But he instinctively knew that even if he got his hands on that sword, he likely wouldnât be able to use it, and that sword would probably not choose him as its owner.
âA villainous sword like âVinashâ suits me more to be honest...â
