Hero of Harmony (Continued)

Chapter 247: Mythical Sword

Looking at Vanimo, I just smiled and dismissively waved my hand; it wasn't my first time being attacked by her, so I wasn't that bothered by it; I just hoped it would be the last time.

"Ah, don't worry about that, Vanimo; this wasn't my first time being attacked by her." Said Alexander with a faint smile as he rubbed his head while approaching Vanimo, who raised an eyebrow.

"Hmm, it did seem like you and Vanye knew each other beforehand." Muttered Vanimo softly as she lowered the sword and thoughtfully rubbed her chin.

"Yes. We had actually met each other a few days ago, and a lot of interesting things happened, though, in the end, I'm pretty sure we left on a good note." Said Alexander softly as he glanced at Vanimo before reaching down and gliding his hand across the blade.

"Can I see that?" Asked Alexander as he pointed at the blade in Vanimo's hand, causing her to tilt her head before nodding.

"Sure; just don't tell Vanye; she doesn't really like it when someone other than me holds it." Replied Vanimo with a nod as she handed the sword to Alexander, who grabbed it before swinging it around, attempting to mimic Vanye's movement.

Although I tried to copy her movements from my memory, it quickly turned into a wasted effort as my swordsmanship was severely lacking when compared to her; I didn't even bother attempting to do that deadly move where she practically flew through the air.

"Impressive!" Said Vanimo with a cheerful smile as she clapped her hands, causing Alexander's expression to twitch before shaking his head.

"I appreciate it, but it wasn't impressive in the slightest when compared to the one who actually wields this blade. To be honest, I felt like I was just swinging this sword around like a barbarian." Remarked Alexander lightly with a shake of his head as he glanced at the sword before looking at Vanimo, who simply smiled.

"Maybe you're right. But considering I'm barely strong enough to even swing the blade, the fact you so effortlessly swung it was more than impressive in my eyes." Stated Vanimo with a slight smile as she grabbed the sword from Alexander's hands before attempting to swing it, causing her to use the entire moment of her body, yet even then, the sword moved painfully slow.

"S-See? J-Just a few swings, a-and I'm e-exhausted." Added Vanimo with heavy breathes as she turned and glanced at Alexander while dropping the sword onto the ground, causing him to nod.

"Well, if it makes you feel any better, that sword is much heavier than it looks, so the fact you could swing it was already somewhat impressive." Said Alexander with a smile as he picked up the sword before poking Vanimo's forehead, causing her to fall onto her back in exhaustion.

"Yes, it very much does." Muttered Vanimos softly as she gasped for breath while smiling, causing Alexander to chuckle before turning around.

With my back facing Vanimo, I used the sword and made a small cut in my arm, only for it to heal within seconds, prompting me to nod as I glanced at the log cabin.

'So it's not the blade but Vanye; I figured that was the case, but I just wanted to make sure.' Thought Alexander lightly as he rubbed his chin, only for him to summon Zartha from his body while holding the two swords side-by-side.

'What are you doing, Master?' Asked Zartha coldly as she skeptically gazed at Alexander, who didn't bother responding.

Using [Hereos Gaze], I viewed deeply into Zartha, only to switch my focus to Vanye's sword, yet I couldn't help but frown as I constantly switched my eyes between the two; however, after a full minute, I shook my head, causing the glow in my eyes to vanish as I eyed Vanye's sword.
