The Legend Fake

Chapter 98 - The Sword on the Stone

Izuru and Asura looked to be in front of the old house located in the middle of the forest. Izuru peeked through the front window and all he saw was an empty house with various old furniture.

"It looks like no one lives here. Let's just go in?" Ask Izuru.

"Nobody's left, doesn't mean nobody's got one, does it? It could be that the owner has another house around here." Answer Asura.

"All I saw was there was only one small village at the foot of the mountain, and it was very far away from here."

Izuru then walked towards the front door and tried to open the door, but did not want to open. Izuru then used both of his hands and still could not.

"It looks like it's in the lock."

Suddenly there was the sound of objects falling from inside the house that shocked Izuru as well as Asura. Izuru quickly moved behind Asura.

"It doesn't look like it's here, let's look somewhere else." Izuru said trembling.

Izuru and Asura then left the house and walked along the path that already existed. They seemed to sigh in relief simultaneously after leaving the old house, Asura was afraid of making the owner of the house angry and Izuru was afraid of ghosts.

In short they continued down that long path and were a little exhausted. The sunny weather makes the air hotter, what else in the humid forest.

"Well... It's hot..." Izuru's complaint rubbed his forehead.

Asura tied her hair and unbuttoned her shirt a bit. "It may be summer time." Said Asura fanning himself with his hands.

"Can you cast water or ice magic?"

"I can't use those 2 elements."

"Sadly, we really need that right now."

Izuru looked towards Asura's cleavage, with the support of the tormenting heat on the head, Izuru thought one was very wild.

"The dragon's mouse." Izuru.

"Huh?" Asura was confused and somewhat doubtful about what he heard.

"Damn it, what did I say stupid!?" Izuru said in his heart.

"Ah nothing! I didn't say su...! Puck....!" Izuru immediately slapped himself as he nearly slipped. "I mean you must have misheard, because this hot weather is indeed a bit of a mess for our minds. I'm just a little dizzy now." Izuru obviously covered up his words earlier.

"Truely, it's better to take a break if Izuru feels dizzy."

"Let's sit on the rock with the sword!" Said Izuru pointing to a stone with a sword stuck on it.

".... Uh...?"

"THE ROCK WITH THE SWORD....!!?!??" Shouted Izuru in surprise instead of playing.

Izuru instantly forgot about his dizziness and immediately ran towards the stone. He quickly turned around and saw all sides of the stone. The sword on it was colored like gold with an inscription engraved on one side.

"What does it say?" Izuru asked touching the carving.

Asura looked closely and instantly realized something. "Write Crgoshiro! This is what we're looking for!" Said Asura.

"I thought we'd find him!"

Izuru then stood on the rock and rubbed his hands together. "I'm ready for this. Let's get started!" Izuru slowly grasped the handle of the sword and then pulled it with all his might.

"Eh... How come? Erghh....!" Izuru groaned as he pulled the sword with all his might.

"Come Izuru...! Come Izuru...! The spirit...! The spirit...!" The cheer of Asura gave a spirit.

"Arrghhh....! Huh...! Huh... Can't." Izuru stopped trying and got down from the stone.

"Hm... Let me see." Asura drew closer to see how the sword was striking and checked how strong it was.

"It looks like it's indeed squeezed very strongly." Said Asura.

"Then how do we get it out? How about we just smash the stone?" Ask Izuru.

"I surrender! It can't be removed." Answer Izuru.

"All right I'll do."

Asura then stood in front of the stone, he then gathered strength in both hands and struck the stone very hard.

"How's it?" Ask Izuru.

"Ouch!"

"You're hurt!?" Izuru asked closer and immediately saw Asura's hand. The part of the hand used to hit becomes moist purple and slightly bloody.

Izuru looked extremely shocked and felt guilty for telling Asura to get hurt. "I'm sorry, I shouldn't have told you to do that anything else without gear." Said Izuru holding both of Asura's wounded hands.

"After all, Asura was still a girl. I could've told her like that." Izuru said in his heart.

"Let's go home." Izuru.

"uh? What about this sword?" Ask Asura.

"We'll come back again and pick it up with a tool."

It was Asura's turn now that grasped Izuru's hand. Izuru who wanted to leave turned his head back towards Asura. "Don't give up Izuru, I'm sure this time I can!" Said Asura again encouraging Izuru.

"Thank you, but still it won't change anything."

"Try it one more time, I'm sure you can."

"Well, just once."

Izuru went back up onto the rock and grasped the handle of the sword. Taking a deep breath, Izuru then pulled her like before. But the difference was, this time the sword moved.

"His sword!? I think I can pull it!" Said Izuru becoming excited again.

Izuru was as strong as he could pull the sword slowly up and finally managed to pull it out.

"I succeeded..! I succeeded Asura...!" Shouted Izuru very pleased.

"Congratulations! I'm sure you can!" Asura Sanjung.

"Thank you Asura, it's a good thing that you persuaded me to try again. I owe you one more thing." Said Izuru coming down from the stone with the golden sword.

"Actually I've already made the inside of the stone crack, so Izuru can pull it off easily. I better not tell her now, this is so Izuru is more confident." Asura said in his heart.

"So what are you going to do with that sword?" Ask Asura.

"Hm... Maybe I'll use it if it's still strong."

"Is that not too heavy?"

"No, look!" Izuru moved the sword up and down. "Eh? Why does it feel heavier than before? Maybe my hand was tired after pulling it."

"We're going home now?"

"Yes, I can't wait to show it to the others." Izuru then continued walking on the existing road.

"Wouldn't just fly?" Ask Asura.

"You're still hurt, aren't you? What if your wound gets bigger when you change?"

"Technically my dragon form is a new body, so it won't be affected by the wounds on the previous body. But, if Izuru wants to walk it's okay." Said Asura then running small following Izuru who was already a little ahead.

"We're just enjoying the journey." Izuru said smilingly.

The two of them continued their journey through the path in the middle of the forest. The hot weather there was also slightly reduced as a large cloud appeared right above them.

Seriate...
