Reincarnated From Vanity

Chapter 24 • Fragile yet Brave | Reincarnated From Vanity

"yes...?"

"Some are forcefully pulled from their former worlds and placed..."
"In the body of a living person"

"....!"

"But considering this I think you've met a reincarnated from Zentorfa or
the Filament theocracy?"
"It's there where the ritual is still being practiced and even celebrated to help the nation against its everlasting war against the Indela Sultanate.

"Gandolph sir?"

"Yes milady"

"What do you mean by that last example of reincarnation?"
"I mean, those who are reincarnated forcefully in the body of a living person"

"Oh that..."

"What happen to the original soul?"
"The original owner of the body?"

"They are often times killed instantly"
"Merged with the new Soul"
"Or is locked away in the person psyche"

"Is there any examples that you know Gandalph-san?"

"Hmmm"

"There was...."
"But I don't think I can remember at the moment"

"...ok"

"Also there was a particular item in your inventory recently"

"Yes?"

"It's a  Mythril Sword embued with a shattered soul"

"Shattered soul"

"It's basically a living object;"
"As it's partly alive, it acts based on instinct and emotions"

"It was?"

"Hmmm...."
"You know in fact"
*overstretches hand

Suddenly a dim light appears at the table and appears at Gandolph's hand"
"Uoof"
"Quite the hefty thing"
"Items like this are exceeding rare and valuable"
"They are only a handful of craftsman that still uses this technique"
"...."
"....Hero Zentorfa"
"I believe that confirms my hunch"
"The sword is made in Zentorfa, and is refering to a hero"
"Hero's are often the product of The Filament Theocracy's summoning rituals"
"The person that you've met is probably a reincarnated person indeed"

"May I see that Gandolph?"
*And as I out reached my hand
*The sword violently freed itself from Gandolpf and into my hand and landed on mine
*A soft glow began to show, it shrunk in size....
*I began to adjust myself to the grip
"woaah"

"Hah ha"
"It seems it has a liking towards your soul"

"Is it so?"
*as I proceeded to get up from my chair to observe it

"How about yo give it a try milady?"

"I... am not well versed in swordmanship"
"But..."
"But since this sword is.... very light?"
"I think I can try"
"I have watch some film and the knights practicing"

"Films?"

*as I gathered my strength, I took a stance I've seen in film
* I swung the sword forward from top to bottom
And after that it felt as it came naturally

Like as if the sword was suggesting me on how it wants to be enacted
And as the sword fell, I did an undercut
driving the sword up to the sky
I felt as if dancing

*My hand and wrist complied with a twist that made the sword turn
It was followed by a sideward whirl cut around me.
*My footwork followed through,
distributing the weight with my body.

Then I felt a bit of my consciousness merge with the sword and the air
As I swung down the sword,
my vision narrows

I saw versions of the trajectory of my sword splitting
I felt like I had relived the same cut motion in an instance
And at once; 3 cuts were made at the same time.
