<Chapter 90: The Warrior Who Regressed to Level 2>
The content of the live broadcast from the sacred site of Silver was instantly covered as breaking news by news channels around the world.
[South Korea's Silver, Saint Han, Defeats Diamond Aka.]
[From a Goddess to an Ordinary Person. Who is Ito Shizuru?]
[Is the Lady of the Sword King Ito Shizuru? Is the Coincidence of Their Surnames Truly a Coincidence?]
[Useless Special Forces in Front of a Player with Unsealed Abilities.]
The live broadcast shocked people in many ways.
The most talked-about aspect was undoubtedly that Silver, Saint Han, had defeated the Diamond, Aka.
- How can a Silver beat a Diamond?
- This is a well-crafted manipulation!
- Player Saint has been the world's top prospect, consistently ranking first! He even played a game with Gold last time!
- It's impossible to manipulate videos on BattleTube.
- That East Asian guy was in the TOP 100 match last time. He became famous for defeating Baron.
- Ah, that's the guy who cost me 100,000 dollars! That monster has grown so much already?
- What is AF doing, not bringing him in?
Foreigners who didn't know much about Saint Han or only saw him during the TOP 100 match were busy discussing him.
However, in Japan, Aka's home country, the focus was on her fleeing.
- A Diamond running away from a Silver... This video will be Japan's eternal shame (;?д?)
- I could tell from when she started being a ninja otaku.
- Aka is a disgrace to Japan. She should commit hara-kiri in Korea and not come back wwww - At least she's not a national representative, thank goodness 草草草 - We have a perfect record in the national team matches, so it's fine wwww
- I love the Sword King!!! wwww
Aka was once a promising archer in Japan, but after choosing the special class 'Assassin,' she became unpopular among the fans of the New Self-Defense Force.
When a journalist asked why she chose the Assassin among the special classes, she replied that she had always been a ninja enthusiast.
Because of this, the fans of the New Self-Defense Force had a poor opinion of Aka even then.
With Saint Han's victory over Aka, the most discussed topic was Ito Shizuru.
- Who is Ito Shizuru?
- Someone already clipped her goddess mode video lol
- I already downloaded it to my incoming folder
- What incoming folder? ;;
- Ito is her surname. The Sword King's surname is also Ito. Did she seduce him?
- If she came to me with that face, I wouldn't be able to resist lol - I'm a one-second cut.
Because Shizuru used the surname 'Ito,' Koreans speculated that the Sword King had fallen for her.
- Who is Ito Shizuru? Does anyone know?
- I don't know... But did she bring the Sword King over?
- She is a true Japanese.
- It would have been perfect if she had brought Saint Han too, but it's a shame.
- Isn't Korea taking too much? wwww
- Please seduce players from other countries too wwww
Most Japanese didn't know who Ito Shizuru was, but they speculated that she was a patriot for bringing the Sword King over.
Ito Shizuru, who became a hot topic in both Korea and Japan, was featured on the front pages of all media.
"Shizuru? Why...?"
The Sword King, who was training at the headquarters of the New Self-Defense Force, naturally learned about this.
After watching Saint Han's video to the end,
"Ugh..."
He left the headquarters with a stiff face.
* * *
A massive mansion located in the suburbs of Tokyo.
The owner of this mansion, which boasts the largest size in the so-called wealthy district, is Ito Shizuru.
After awakening the gift 'Edit,' she became a unique figure behind the scenes of Japanese politics and business.
Two years ago, she completed a mansion befitting her status.
Recently, the Sword King, Ito Ryuhei, has been living with her in this house.
"Shizuru. Answer me."
The Sword King approached Shizuru with a cold face, holding a smartphone.
The screen displayed Saint Han's video, paused at the moment when Shizuru's avatar, looking like a goddess, was casting a charm.
And that appearance was...
"Ryuhei..."
Exactly the same as the woman the Sword King was seeing right now.
The avatar sent to Korea, Ju Eunji, had an ordinary appearance, but Ito Shizuru in Tokyo had a beauty that was the epitome of perfection.
Her appearance harmonized the ideals of beauty from both East and West, and the aura around her was incredibly alluring.
The Sword King, who came in with anger, felt his rage dissipate upon seeing her face.
'This won't do...'
No matter how much he loved her, he needed to express his anger.
The Sword King tried to stoke his anger, but his resolve was already weakening.
Just from seeing her face.
"What do you want to know?"
Ito Shizuru, reading the Sword King's mood, asked with a calm smile.
"Saint Han. Did you really go to Korea to seduce him?"
"Yes, that's correct."
She affirmed it calmly.
Her calmness made the Sword King, who was already excited, pause.
He stuttered slightly as he shouted,
"...Why, why? I'm here!"
"I wanted to get an excellent player. The more talented people, the better, right?"
"So, you used... the charm ability... You can't be serious. You... to me too...?"
"Ryuhei."
Shizuru looked directly into the Sword King's eyes.
"What if I did?"
"W-What...?"
"Then, what will you do?"
"..."
"Will you leave me and go back to Korea?"
"You...?"
Swoosh.
Shizuru approached the Sword King with a seductive smile.
Her unique fragrance, which no other woman could match, filled the air.
It was a scent that drove people mad, not just a specific perfume.
It was the unique scent of Ito Shizuru.
'Ah...'
His anger was gone, replaced by a strong desire for her.
He knew that his anger dissipating just from seeing her face and his excitement from her scent were not normal reactions.
But he couldn't help it.
It made him happy.
She was more addictive than any drug.
"Ryuhei. Why are you so unsure of yourself?"
"I am...?"
"Saint Han is just a useful slave to me."
"R-Really...?"
"Yes. My love is only for you."
Shizuru approached the Sword King and caressed his cheek.
With that single touch, his resolve to be angry vanished.
Instead,
He felt guilty for getting angry at her.
"Sorry... Shizuru. I got carried away."
"No, I'm the one who's sorry... I feel ashamed to be by your side."
"No, no! Don't leave me. I was wrong. Please... forgive me."
The Sword King's heart sank.
Shizuru leaving him?
The thought was terrifying.
"What did I do wrong to you? It's all my fault."
"No, it's not. I was wrong."
"Ah, no. I got angry at you... I was wrong."
"Angry? Was that the only thing you did wrong?"
"Then?"
Swoosh.
Shizuru pulled the Sword King's face close and kissed him.
As they exchanged a deep kiss, the Sword King's eyes became hazy.
"You doubted my love, Ryuhei."
"Ah..."
"I told you I only love you."
"Sorry."
"So, I'll stay in the annex for three days."
"That's...!"
Some might say it's just three days, but for the Sword King, who spent every night with her, it was a painful punishment.
But,
"I need to remake my avatar. Can you understand, Ryuhei?"
"...I understand."
He couldn't resist Shizuru's words.
"Then, please leave."
"Alright... I'm sorry about today."
Shizuru, who had easily manipulated the angry Sword King, let him go.
Her lips twisted.
'This is troublesome.'
She should have put obedience and fanaticism into the charm.
If the target was under obedience and fanaticism, they would believe and follow her no matter what.
But the Sword King, Ito Ryuhei, was under obsession and dependence, which made him troublesome.
'If it weren't for Kanzan and Makai...'
The Sword King's dual swords, Kanzan and Makai, each had S-grade value.
When used together, they became SSS-grade, a unique dual-sword characteristic.
These swords also had the 'Rebel' characteristic, making them immune to obedience and fanaticism.
'But I can't make him give up the swords.'
Currently, Kanzan and Makai were the only SSS-grade dual swords available.
Unless a replacement weapon appeared, he would have to keep using them.
Thud. Thud.
Shizuru walked to the annex while talking to many people.
"Oh, yes. Prime Minister. It's nothing serious. Do you trust me?"
"Defense Minister. Do you need help? I'm fine. I just need to be more careful. What about Takeda? Ah... The Defense Minister will handle it? Yes, thank you."
"Chairman. You're offering more investment? That's fine... Three pages of Akashic Records. It's not a big burden for me, you know? Oh, you've already transferred it? You're so quick."
High-ranking officials in Japanese politics and business were worried about her after this incident.
Her influence in Japan remained unshaken.
Instead, they competed to offer support, sponsoring her.
'The Akashic Records will be quickly replenished.'
After ending the calls, she opened the door to the annex.
The Akashic Records could be replenished with sponsorship, but a more important issue remained.
'This time, I need to be more careful with the avatar.'
The avatar sent to Korea, Ju Eunji, was her first attempt and lacked refinement.
Due to her lack of ability, she failed to control Saint Han, revealing Shizuru's existence to the world.
This time, she needed to choose a more suitable body for the avatar.
'There's a perfect body for it.'
She thought of Aka.
After sacrificing her body to free the avatar from the tutorial seal,
Aka, who was defeated and fled from a Silver,
was no longer useful to Shizuru.
"Come quickly, Aka."
Her eyes turned cold.
