The Last Descendant of the Holy Sword Family

Angry Crown

"What you said Rubia, of course I have emotions. It's just...."

"There's just no reason for you to care about them. I'm right, aren't I?"

"You know me very well Rubia."

"We've been together for thousands of years, of course I know you'll never care about anyone else unless they interest you."

Zen is only interested in a few people. Like Zen's interest in Lin Yan, Zen would destroy everything that could hinder or disturb Lin Yan even if it was the will of the world though.

And Zen would keep Lin Yan as good as possible and make him a person who could stand on his own strength.

"By Rubia's word, didn't you take all my pieces from all over the world. But why have I never seen you in the world where I was born?"

"I have come to that world, but unlike the rest of the world, I have met one of the soul fragments of Theresa."

"Then what does this have to do with it?"

"You know, he told me not to interfere in his plans. Back then he even threatened to destroy me, I was so scared at that moment."

"What a joke is that, since when do you feel afraid of Theresia whom you always think of as a little girl."

"She used to be a sweet little girl, but because of someone's actions she became a very terrible person."

Rubia looked at Zen as if she was insinuating him.

"Huh, have you told me what's really going on?"

"What I'm saying is true except for what I'm afraid of. At that time I agreed to what he wanted, he gave me some information and in exchange I will give a blessing of darkness to a sword and some little spirits."

The sword with the blessing of darkness was the cursed sword in Ai's name. The spirits that Rubia was referring to were the spirits that Zen met in Ai's name.

"So yes. In the end it all went the way Theresia wanted."

"I've answered everything you've asked, now it's my turn to ask."

"What do you want to ask?"

"Usually when someone dies their power will instantly disappear, but why is your power even spread throughout the world after you die?"

"Ah that's yes, it's because the magic I created allows for that to happen."

Zen used to make magic and martial arts very often useful for him. Like the sword arts of emptiness and magic to make himself able to impart magic and science to others.

"What kind of magic is that?"

"Well, it might be easier to say that magic has almost the same power as the crown of reincarnation."

The reincarnation crown had a power that could allow its user to have all of his memories once he was reborn. But the difference is the reincarnation crown can only make the owner only have his memory alone is not his strength.

Zen himself was not a genius, to obtain the great power Zen had experienced various sufferings and struggles.

The magic itself Zen created with the aim that he no longer needed to feel it when he died and was reborn.

"When did you make something like that? I can't even figure it out."

"Hmmm, I guess it was about a few years before Xia Shuang was born."

"Does that mean Theresia can also use that magic?"

"Yes, it's just that Theresia's is the most imperfect version. My own is a near-perfect version."

Because magic is not perfect when Zen uses it all its power becomes split and spread throughout the world.

"So that's the reason why he can never remember what ever happened to him."

"Yes, for her case she will only gain her strength but not her memory."

Rubia was finally able to figure out what she had always thought, she finally knew why Zen had not trained for thousands of years.

Rubia then looked at Ciel who was just speechless without saying anything.

"You don't seem to be surprised by what Zen says Ciel."

"What's? Is that really Ciel?"

Ciel just him without saying anything, deep down Ciel regretted having helped Zen in creating that magic.

The regret was not that the magic was too powerful, but that it made Zen suffer continuously for a long time.

"That's it if you don't want to answer it. Ah yes Zen, there is something I want to give you again."

Rubia took out a crown from her body and gave it to Zen.

"It's..... Crown rage?"

In this world there are 123 crowns, 58 are for the users of mana. The user who has the crown will be referred to as the king. Also 58 for spiritual energy users, spiritual energy users who have crowns are called heaven warriors.

The remaining 7 were for people who could use mana and spiritual energy. The 7 crowns have powers that represent the 7 great sins of Amara, envy, lust and other sins.

In this world Zen is the only person who has 3 crowns at once, but having 3 crowns does not mean Zen is the strongest.

"Yes, I'll give it back to you."

Zen took the crown and lifted it.

"I think they've got this crown. Then the other 2 are in their hands huh."

"No, they didn't get a single crown."

"Hmmm, how is that possible?"

"Just like your power, after your death to your 3 crowns go out to various worlds."

"Where are the other 2 then?"

"One is with Ciel, and the other is with your son Xia Shuang."

"Xia Shuang huh, I think I will visit her in the near future."

"Do as you please. What about you, Ciel, aren't you going to give me the crown?"

"His current strength is still not enough to be able to use the crown, for now I will keep it."

Ciel then disappeared from that place and returned to the spirit world.

"Well, he doesn't have bad intentions, he always does what's good for you."

"I'm not, but I hope he soon forgets what happened in that moment."

Ciel's attitude towards Zen wasn't something that happened from the start. The attitude emerged after an incident thousands of years ago, at which time a great fire burned a house.

Ciel could only see without being able to do anything, the fire took away something so precious to Zen and Zen suffered for thousands of years. Since then Ciel has always tried to do his best for Zen.

"I hope so too."

Rubia knew that it would not be easy for Ciel to forget what happened at that time, but she hoped that Ciel would forget that and move on.

"Then I'll go also Zen."

"Ah wait, take this Rubia."

Zen gave his crown of rage.

"As you just heard, my strength is still not enough to be able to use that crown. So you'd better keep it than it was taken by them."

"Alright I'll keep it for now."

Rubia took back the crown she instantly disappeared from that place.

"I almost forgot what I wanted to do."

Zen walked towards his sword, because of the arrival of Ciel Zen so delayed taking his sword.

Zen then took hold of the sword and directly pulled it out.
