"So these are all the documents then?"

Later on .

I'm standing before the demon-encoded documents gathered from all over the country .

"Yes . Those are all . "

There's only five new documents .

However . . . I found a new valuable information among them .

" . . . That sword has a guard huh . "

I plan to use [Man-eating Blade] in order to defeat the [Chaotic Demon] .

And this document is talking about exactly that sword .

――――――――――――――――――――

There is a chance [Chaotic Demon] may be defeated due to artifacts .

The most dangerous among all known artifacts is considered to be the [Gravy Wood Altar's] [Man-eating Blade] .

Though I do not believe the people of this current world can make use of it, we have to erase all possibility .

Send a greater demon to sneak into Gravy Wood altar and bar any attempt to utilize the sword .

――――――――――――――――――――

"Greater demon . . . !"

Principal Edward shouted as he read the passage .

. . . You can't blame him for jumping in surprise .

The me now can beat mid class demons just fine in a direct confrotation . . . But that's almost impossible when the opponent is a greater demon .

"Are you sure this information is accurate? . . . Is there any chance they're just bluffing to keep us on edge?"

" . . . That's unlikely . There's too much classified information contained in documents written in this language . They would have made use more codes if they anticipated it getting deciphered . "

"That sounds reasonable . . . Which means, the [Man-eating Blade] is guarded by a greater demon then?"

"Yeah . No mistake about that . . . The problem is just how strong this greater demon is . "

It's probably weaker than the greater demons found in my past life .

Those past greater demons were stronger than even Zaridias .

These demons wouldn't have gone out of their way to awaken [Chaotic Demons] if they had that much power already .

It doesn't mean we can relax our guard though .

Most demons I fought so far would be classified as lesser demons in the past era .

Were I up against a [Mid-class Demon] by the past era standard . . . whether I could win a direct confrontation or not would depend on compatibilities .

We have no choice but to go there since there's no other [Man-eating Blade] left in the world .

Let's just hope that the demon guarding [Gravy Wood's Altar] is one that the me now could prevail against .

I unroll the map while thinking that .

<TLN: If you're reading this novel at any other site than Sousetsuka . com you might be reading an unedited, uncorrected version of the novel . >

"This Gravy Wood altar . . . appears to have become a town called Zadoria now . "

"You mean a demon is lurking by in the middle of a town?"

"Yeah . I mean we knew that so many lesser demons were lurking in towns . . . No surprise to see a greater demon would too . "

I replied so to Alma .

Demons in this era sure love to lurk in human towns .

Or maybe it was because towns back in the day were littered with demon-detecting magic all over, so they simply couldn't manage to .

But this is convenient to me .

If the sword is located in places with human traffic, we may be able to slip in among the crowd and grab the sword .

And since Iris's mana stands out a lot, maybe we can use her as a decoy while we carry out the deed .

As I thought that . . . Alma spoke .

"But the demons know where that sword is right? Couldn't they just, you know, throw it in a volcano or something instead of going out of their way guarding it?"

She has a point .

Grevil answered her question .

"The sword at Gravy Wood's Altar is heavily protected by magic . . . No demons can even touch the coffin where the sword sleeps . "

"How exactly is it being protected?"

"We deployed the [Coffin of Sealing] . . . The protection on that coffin is absolutely inviolable . . . Is it not?"

" . . . I see . No wonder they can't move it far . "

I gave my reply to Grevil .

[Coffin of Sealing] was a box the past me had created to preserve valuable articles .

That box absolutely cannot be opened without the matching key .

It's also virtually indestructible .

. . . However, the true value of [Coffin of Sealing] is not because of the key's performance or the coffin's durability .

[Coffin of Sealing] is furnished with a magic that prevents it from getting carried more than 50 meter away from the spot the seal is activated .

No matter how strong the demons are, they're no match against the magic's compelling force .

Hence they weren't able to throw it in a volcano or sink it in the ocean .

Their decision to post a guard is proof of their inability to break the seal .
