Chapter 156: 155 Really Don’t Want to Discourage You (Please Subscribe! Request for Monthly Ticket!)
The Holy Sword’s radiance still shimmered, and even without the sealing, it was not as intensely bright, it still let one clearly feel the holy fluctuations emanating from it.
Shane and Luoqi looked at each other before they had to admit a fact.
“It seems a single Sealing Ring is not enough to seal all the power of your Holy Sword,” Luoqi said with a meaningful look in her eyes.
“Uh…” Shane chuckled dryly and whispered, “Is this situation common?”
“Of course not.” Luoqi replied, somewhat irritatedly, “This Sealing Ring was made from Divine Steel, which is the highest level of Magic Metal. During the war, even the God and Demon Clans fought desperately for this Magic Metal. Now, after the world has been divided into the Divine World, Demon Realm, and Human Realm, this kind of Magic Metal can only be found in the Divine World. It is produced in small batches once a century, and only a God in charge of forging can process and forge this steel. Do you think this situation is common?”
“…I thought these Sealing Rings were only of value as collectibles now.”
Shane realized he was wrong.
If the material of the Holy Sword Sealing Ring itself was so precious, even selling it would probably fetch a large sum, right?
Seeing Luoqi so casually and straightforwardly take out such Magic Tools, Shane thought they weren’t so valuable. But on second thought, considering Luoqi is the Princess of the Land of the Brave and the only heir in a millennium to inherit both the Holy Sword and the title of Hero from the Royal Family, it’s obvious her family would be immensely wealthy.
Such generosity from Luoqi didn’t imply that these items were worthless.
“Although it has a great origin, the object it is sealing is the Holy Sword; such a situation has occurred before,” Luoqi changed her tone and said, “The Holy Sword inherently has the effect of expelling negative powers. Even a Sealing Ring made by the God of Forging from Divine Steel, which generally works for regular Holy Swords, might fail to completely seal a sword with overly powerful capabilities. The Holy Sword I’ve inherited is just this kind of case.”
Upon hearing this, Shane also remembered that Luoqi’s Holy Sword still partly exhibited its power even after being sealed.
That must be the situation where it wasn’t completely sealed.
“However, among the generations of Heroes, only the ancestral Holy Sword was strong enough that the Sealing Ring couldn’t fully seal it. Other Heroes’ swords weren’t that powerful.”
Luoqi spoke with an implied meaning.
“And your Holy Sword, even after being sealed by the Sealing Ring, still emits such intense light. I am very curious about how strong its power actually is.”
With that, Luoqi didn’t wait for Shane’s response and took out the second Sealing Ring from the box and handed it to Shane.
“Put another one on.”
Her words made Shane surprised while he took the Sealing Ring.
“This can also be used in multiples?”
Shane thought his Holy Sword could only be .
“Of course, why else do you think the Royal Family collects so many Sealing Rings? Do you think they are just for emergencies, as backups?” Luoqi replied and urged, “Try it now, the Sealing Ring can only successfully seal the Holy Sword if used by the Hero himself; otherwise, it won’t be able to seal the power of the Holy Sword.”
That shows how unreasonably strong and powerful the Hero’s Holy Sword can be.
If not done by himself, the mere ‘non-interference’ effect would render the Sealing Ring completely ineffective.
Then, Shane added a second Sealing Ring to his Holy Sword, allowing the Sealing Ring to transform into several pieces of Blade Steel and again encase the remaining blade of the Holy Sword.

“…It seems it’s still not fully sealed?”
Shane and Luoqi looked at the two-thirds-sealed Holy Sword, both with indescribable expressions.
Especially Luoqi, who looked at Shane almost as if she was looking at a monster.
Helplessly, after two sealings, the Holy Sword still emitted a glow that could rival her own.
Moreover, her Holy Sword could only match the glow of Shane’s twice-sealed Holy Sword after its seals were removed.
It meant that his family’s ancestral Holy Sword, the pride of the Mitra Royal Family, was not impressive at all in front of others.
Even though someone else had applied two seals, their sword was still comparable to his own family’s Holy Sword that had defeated the Demon King.
This realization made Luoqi somewhat aware that perhaps, Shane was truly remarkable.
Previously, although Luoqi was surprised that Shane was a Hero, he did not think Shane could compare to himself.
Weren’t the Heroes of the past also not up to his family’s ancestor?
And since his own innate potential was by no means less than Ancestor Mitra, Luoqi felt that even if Shane was a Hero, he was at best on the same level as the past Heroes who had been defeated by the Demon King and not on the same level as himself and Ancestor Mitra.
This was a very rational analysis.
At least, Luoqi had never seen anyone better than himself.
But now, perhaps there was one.
At that moment, Luoqi fell silent for a while and handed the last Sealing Ring to Shane.
Luoqi seemed to want to see where Shane’s limit was, his tone a bit like he was unwilling to lose or obsessing over details.
Shane hesitated, murmuring in his mind.
“I really don’t want to crush you…”
Saying that, Shane also added the last Sealing Ring to the Holy Sword.
As the Sealing Ring once again dissolved into Blade Steel, attached to the blade, this time, the Holy Sword finally became as plain as if it had been sheathed, appearing completely ordinary.

Looking at the still not fully sealed Holy Sword, Shane was silent.
Luoqi was also silent.
“…well, that’s fine.”
Shane, not knowing whom he was speaking to, said that.
“Although it’s not completely sealed, with the sealing to this extent, it’s already hard to recognize the Holy Sword. I’m satisfied.”
Yes, the result is still good, no doubt.
Luoqi suddenly showed a relieved expression.
“You’re just trying to bluff your way through, aren’t you?”
Luoqi’s look toward Shane had turned into one of disdain.
That look was exactly like the one Shane had given Luoqi not long ago, truly the wheel of fortune had turned.
Shane felt uncomfortable yet simultaneously became terrified.
Because the look in Luoqi’s eyes had shifted from disdain to one filled with fighting spirit.
“What… what are you trying to do?”
Shane quavered, sounding like a harried little wife.
Instead, it was Luoqi who was filled with zeal.
“We’re going to train!”
With that said, Luoqi didn’t give Shane any chance to react and dragged him outside.
Shane couldn’t even begin to speak up to stop him before he was dragged out by Luoqi.
