Corbit was looking at Leon's face, waiting for his answer.
"I know because---" he paused
"Well I can't answer that since you asked your one question already"
Tck...
With an irritated look, Corbit said "Fine"
Leon stood up from his chair. "Now corbit, hand over the dragon slayer since I have answered your question"
Corbit stood from his chair too. Corbit turned away from Leon and stood closer to a wooden surface.
Smash...
He strikes his hammer at the wooden surface.
Thump...
Leon who was standing and watching couldn't understand at first but then seeing why Corbit did, he understood.
The hammer didn't hit the wooden surface but a barrier that was protecting the wooden surface. It was invisible until the hit from the hammer made it visible.
"I never thought the great corbit, had to use a magic barrier for it"
Corbit didn't mind his words and only stared at the barrier.
"This barrier is no ordinary barrier. To break these types of barriers, you need a fixed amount of strength used to hit on such barriers"
Leon stood silent for a moment.
Than said.
"What was the last part again"
Sigh...
"To break these barriers, you need to use a fixed amount of force on them. Not high or low. A fixed amount"
"Quite an understandable thing it is"
Corbit then bent and pulled a wooden door from the surface.
He looked at Leon.
"Follow me"
They went down from the door.
There were present stairs. While walking down the stairs.
Leon who was walking behind Corbit, noticed a lion symbol on the back of Corbit's neck.
Beast guild, they have the lion symbol on their necks. They are called the dangerous guild of mystery.
But it's of no use, they are all killed when the holy palace finds out about their main hideout.
Even Corbit was killed while running away from them.
The remaining ones, who survived were tortured endlessly.
I need to get Corbit on my side and make him leave that guild.
Before I start my plan.
"Why are you so quiet" said Corbit
"Oh it's nothing I was just thinking about why not you and I work together"
Corbit was silent.
I don't think he's gonna reply.
"What's your conditions?"
"Condition for what?" Leon asked in a bit of confusion due to Corbit's question.
"Are you also on revenge against the holy palace?"
"Right. But that's not all for me. Holy Palace is just a part that I need to end"
Corbit, I know not much about his background but from what I know.
Holy Palace recruited him for his great talent for blacksmithing.
He had a family a wife and a daughter, who were killed by an enemy of the holy palace.
That's what the holy palace told him just like they told me a somewhat similar story about my father's death.
"So you have more goals than just taking down the holy palace"
"Indeed, I have more to end" Leon stated
"We are here"
They stood next to a metal door which was blocking their path.
Creak...
Corbit opened the metal door and on the other side of the metal door was a large collection of swords and different weapons.
Leon was amazed to see Corbit's collection.
While walking behind Corbit.
He slowed down his steps and touched the weapons.
"These collects of mine aren't just for use. If you want them you need to pay a good price for them"
"There's the dragon slayer"
Corbit stated. He moved forward a bit faster to get it down from the wall.
Leon felt the pressure from the sword when Corbit got it close to him.
He looked at it in awe.
So, this is the sword which the holy slayer used.
"Take it then"
Leon held the sword with both of his hands. "It's quite heavy"
"It is because it's a dragon slayer and look at your body it's weaker to hold such a powerful sword"
"The handle of this sword is made of dragon scale and other parts are not even something I know because it's an ancient weapon"
Leon struggles to hold the sword.
"If you're too weak why not just leave it" Corbit stated with a serious tone.
"It's not child's play Leon, the thing you're holding will kill you if you use it wrongly"
Auah!!... Corbit had a surprised look.
"What are you saying corbit? Heavy?" Leon stated with a smile.
He began to swing the sword like it was nothing.
How is he able to do that?...
Corbit was amazed by what was happening, Leon who was struggling to hold the sword, was now swinging it like it was a toy.
He put the sword on his shoulder.
?!...
"What are you doing Leon? That sword is too sharp it will cut your arm with the shoulder!" Corbit shouted in a bit of worry.
"Old man"
An aura emits from Leon.
"You don't have to worry about me. Worry about yourself. Right now, I have the sword and I can kill you in a second"
Pointing the sword's sharp edge closer to Corbit's neck.
"Tck... I wish I knew you to be the same as others. I should not let you have that sword"
"Kill me then since you got what you wanted"
Leon removed his sword away from Corbit's neck.
"What are you doing? I thought you wanted to kill me"
He looked into Corbit's eyes which were filled with fear but Corbit who was master of hiding his expression, was hiding his fear from the moment Leon pointed his sword at him.
Leon turned his back and began to walk away.
He paused and stated.
"Why not join me corbit? After all Lion Guild will only get you killed"
What?!...
Another surprise was for Corbit.
He even knew, who I worked for. This kid.
Corbit could only be surprised and watch Leon walk away.
What is his real identity?
Creak...
Leon exists from the door.
[You have obtained S rank sword - Dragon Slayer]
"Now then, let my hunt for a dragon begin."
