Chapter 50: Moonlight Greatsword
The item that Vercidis handed over to Finn was none other than the Moonlight Greatsword that the Moon Swordsman was proud of, the Holy Avenger rumored to have been lost in the dagger forest.
However,
Fein held the handle of the Moonlight Greatsword with both hands, and for a moment opened the two pupils in his eye sockets in some surprise, examining this weapon that represented the glory of Perometheus, and the game system that had traveled with him in this life showed the following data in his mind:
【Moonshine (tainted)】

- Good people, when you are in despair, are you still the same person?
The name of the weapon was not the "MoonLight HolyAvenger" he had expected.
And just "moonshine".
And the name has the word "tainted" suffix, and there are two columns in the equipment attribute that show the "sealed" status with no effect.
In other words, the greatsword held by Perometheus was not a holy avenger, but it was misunderstood by everyone.
The young paladin remembered that the Moonlight Greatsword was a gimmick of the Holy Avengers, and it seemed to be exactly what Perometheus himself claimed.
He didn't know why the Church's Sword Saint did this, but considering what happened to Perometheus before his death, he contacted the sentence at the end of the Great Sword Data Statement: "Kind people." When you are in despair, are you still the same person? ”
He speculated that the poor man might just be trying to comfort and deceive his inner wound after realizing his own depravity.
It's no wonder that in the history of the game, the Church's Juggernaut has never been willing to lend the Moonlight Greatsword to other fellow paladins, after all, it is a secret that only he can know, and his fellow Mithril Knights are likely to sense something wrong with the sword body when they hold the Moonlight Greatsword, even if they don't have a game system.
Just like Vercidis had just felt.
The true Holy Avengers, such as the famous "Pale Justice". Even though the appearance is unpretentious, the intuitive feeling it brings to the priest is definitely different from that of ordinary magic weapons.
The truth about the Moonlight Greatsword surprised him a little.
However, he thought about it and thought that if no one asked about it, then there was no need to deliberately expose it.
So he looked at the moonlight greatsword in front of him for a while, closed his eyes and calmed down, and then used a thin rope used by adventurers to carry heavy weapons, and hung the magic greatsword that represented the glory of the Moon Sword Saint behind his back.
From now on, this magic greatsword, whose blade always flows with a cyan glow in the moonlight environment, will become his new weapon.
He will carry this sacred greatsword. Continue to fulfill the mission he has tried to turn history around in his life, and fulfill his promise.
If he had the opportunity to reach out to the upper echelons of the church in the distant future, he would look for an opportunity to investigate everything about Perometheus, and then return the true sense of justice to the Swordmaster of the church.
Speaking of which. The knight of Perometheus hasn't been rested yet, has he? After hanging the Moonlight Sword behind his back and fixing it, the young paladin turned his head and looked back at the piece of monster flesh that had been pierced by him with his silver sword not long ago.
In the words, he added his title to the Moon Sword Saint as a "knight". to show his sympathy and respect for the poor man.
"Probably not yet, otherwise he wouldn't have turned into this miserable appearance." Vercidis stepped forward to join him and replied. "Then let me do it...... Roderick is an old friend of mine, and what he owes to Perometheus, I'm paying it back for me now. ”
As the words fell, the black-haired man in black armor took his emblem bracelet in his hand, crouched down, and pointed the paladin emblem on the bracelet towards the rotting mass of flesh, and then skillfully followed the divine knowledge stored in his mind, and quickly completed the prayer of rest.
A white ball of light then soothed the dead piece of flesh.
At this point, no matter what happened to the Moon Sword Saint during his lifetime, his revenant soul finally got the right to rest at this moment.
The gates of the land of the dead are about to open to a new soul.
The story of the living continues, and the souls of the departed rest in peace.
……
After the battle in the forest basin came to an end, Vercidis and Fein dug a small tomb in the center of the basin for Perometheus's two eyeballs, buried the last organ of the Moon Sword Saint with a soul back into the soil, and erected a small tombstone for him with a relatively flat stone.
Nothing was written on the surface of the small tombstone, and nothing was engraved.
This was Versidis's assertion, and he suggested that Finn get to the bottom of the whole incident before making a fair assessment of Perometheus's life, and the young paladin thought that this was fine, so he patted the dust off his body after completing this simple gesture with the leader of the Knights of Shadowlight beside him, and then stood up at the same time as the man next to him.
The moment they got up, the old Tiflin witch Barthra and the warlock girl Lilith stood quietly waiting for the two of them, and the lizardmen of the Greenpaw tribe were cleaning up the battlefield in an efficient and orderly manner under the command of Atasu and Guter.
A moment later, a lizardman warrior who had been sent out by Atasu to scout the surrounding area grabbed the reins in his hand, and rode the earthly dragon under his seat, and ran back from behind a bush at the edge of the basin.
The lizardman cavalry was a little far from where Finn, Lilith, Barthra, and Vercidis were.
The young paladin looked in the direction from which the movement had come.
With the convenience of dark vision, he noticed that the earthwalker under the lizardman cavalry seemed to be holding a man lying on its back.
His attention immediately shifted from a hint of post-war slackness to a state of intense concentration.
In the next second, the lizardman cavalry riding the earth-walking dragon brought the man behind him to Atasu and reported a message to his chief in the dragon language used by the lizardmen race.
Thanks to the "Legacy and Revelation" talent from the bloodline of the Apocalypse Knights, Finn can now understand the language of dragons.
The voice of the lizardman cavalry when he reported to Atasu was a little whispering when it came to him in the night wind, but his sensitive hearing clearly heard the meaning of the words, which translated into the lingua franca: "Chief Atasu, I found this elf not far away." ”
"This elf?" The young man grasped a key word in that sentence, and his heart was puzzled.
In a trance, the image of a companion in his memory immediately popped up in his mind.
The elven girl he and Lilith had been looking for, Arya. (To be continued.) )
