（Oh, thank you. His blood was okay.)

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

（Are you done, Norn?　You like the blood of this wielder of the free sword. Does that mean you prefer the blood of someone who is more than a knight?)

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

（Well, yes. It is more efficient to collect magic power from one knight than from several ordinary people. The taste is about the same.)

（I see. Then, from now on, if I see a strong-looking guy, I'll actively target him.)

　I beat a man who looked like a knight and was the head of a bandit.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Norn sucks the blood out of the man's body, and we see him lying on the ground, looking emaciated.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　What was he after all?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Was it a fallen member of a knightly family who had become a bandit?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I don't know.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　But maybe no matter how much I think about it, I won't get the answer here.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Then it doesn't matter.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　There is no point in worrying about something that is not worth thinking about.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　What I'm more concerned about now is not who this man is but the weapon in his hand.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Well. So this is the sword of freedom. Oh, it really can change its shape when you pour magic power into it. Amazing!

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I took the sword still in the man's hand and tried to use it myself.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　It seems that I can change the shape of the sword by pouring magic power into the magic stone-like object on the sword's hilt.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I try to lengthen the sword by extending the tip of the sword from its original size.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Hmmm, surprisingly subtle, isn't it?　The weight changes quite a bit, too."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　But how about its usability?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　It seems that the weight of the free hand sword changes as the shape of the sword changes.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　If the tip of the sword is extended, it is certain to be longer, but the tip of the sword becomes heavier.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Moreover, it seems that the sword tends to be heavier than it looks.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The more the shape changes, the heavier it becomes.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　It is not that I can't hold it, but it is a little awkward to handle the sword.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The basic meaning of swordsmanship is to be able to manipulate a sword freely.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Therefore, it is better to use a sword that you are familiar with, but it might be difficult to use a sword whose weight varies so much depending on its shape.

"Alphonse, are you alright?　Are you hurt?　The sword got so big, I was afraid you were going to get crushed by it.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Yes, I'm fine. It's thanks to Kristina's support.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Ha-ha-ha, you heard me. I'm sorry. I'm sorry I called out to you when you were fighting for your life.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"No, it's not like that. No, it's not like that. That cheering motivated me. It helped us win."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Really?　I'm glad to hear it. So, what's up with the sword?　I thought it might be a good sword. ......"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Hmm, I don't know.　If you know how to use it, I think it can be a weapon that can fool your opponent. But for now, it is not a weapon that I want. I have a magic sword and a hard fang sword."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Oh, I can help you with that. ......"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Alphonse. If you don't need that sword, give it to me."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　As I was trying out the free sword I had acquired, Christina approached and spoke to me.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　She seemed to be in a panic because she thought I might have been crushed by the sword that had grown so large.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　She touched me here and there for a while to make sure I was okay, and then she calmed down.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　And when she calmed down, she showed her face as a merchant.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　He turned his attention to the sword I was holding in my hand.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　A sword that can change its weight by changing its shape.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I think it would be very difficult to master this sword in the true sense of the word.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　You have to anticipate the changing weight and center of gravity, and execute your sword techniques without being swayed by them.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Otherwise, like the man who just now was, he would be relying only on his sword's performance and surprise attack.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　If I think about it, I feel that this is not a sword that I would really want to use myself.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　If it is reliable as a sword, a hard sword that is hard to break is enough, and Norn, a magic sword that can be taken out and used anytime and can suck blood, is too convenient.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　But there was someone who wanted to buy a free sword after hearing that.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　One of them was Christina, of course.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　But another man, who had also been by my side for some time, called out to me.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Do you want this sword, Ian?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Yes. When I worked for Ars, I had weapons. But now I don't. If that sword can change size, give it to me, Alphonse.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Oh, I remember Ian only had a big shield. I see. This flexible sword that changes size for when he turns into a Titan would come in handy.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"We Atmos warriors are strong. But there is a drawback. But there is a disadvantage. It would be helpful to have that sword that changes size. Give me the sword and I swear I will work for you until death.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Till death?　Are you sure, Ian? You can't say that."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"I don't care. I heard Thanatos made a pact with Ars like that. If you give me that weapon for my sake, I will risk my life for you.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Okay. Then this sword is Ian's from now on. But remember what I said before. Ian.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Yes, sir."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　With these words, he hands Ian, the warrior of Atmos, the sword of freedom.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　In fact, Ian had never been properly equipped for such a task.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　When he was in Vulcania, he should have been wearing demon armor and using a Nyoiryukon.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Warriors of Atmos are usually the size of a normal human being, but when they fight with all their might, they become gigantic.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　At that time, the demon armor and the Nyoiryukon, which can change its size to fit their body, must have been very useful for them.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　However, it seems that Ian could not bring both of them when he came to the East.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　They were only temporarily provided by Brother Ars when he went to the battlefield.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Well, it's understandable, isn't it?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Especially the Ruyi Dragon Cudgel is said to be made from dragon bones, which is very valuable.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　That's why Ian has been using an iron shield so far.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I provided him with a shield big enough to cover his whole body, which was used by the iron knights in the magic labyrinth.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Ian is carrying a large shield on his back.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The idea was that if it was that big, it could be used as a shield for his arms when he transformed into a Titan.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Or he can use it as a blunt weapon that he can hit.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　But I guess they wanted a proper weapon.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Ian asked me for a free sword and offered me his life.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　How could I refuse?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Thus, I had succeeded in bringing this warrior of Atmos to my side in the true sense of the word.
