The Return of the World's Destructive Hero
Chapter 46: The Revival of the Artifact

In all corners of the world, all the artifacts related to the swordbirth and messenger of death reacted strangely. They emitted a purplish black light with a gripping aura.

One of them was the Sky-Piercing Bow which was in the depths of the forest where the elves lived. All the residents there look so surprised to see the artifact that has been unable to be used by anyone shining like reacting to the arrival of his master.

"What's going on? The artifact gave a reaction? Was there someone chosen as his master?"

The Sky Pierching Bow

One of the 12 Artifact Granting Skills. Shaped like a bow with blue white, looks like a very bright sky color.

This artifact gives a skill related to the archer. Eagle eyes and presence detection. Users can also create arrows with any ability, fire arrows, ice arrows, poison arrows, unity arrows and so on. The crushing power of this arrow was also extremely powerful, in just one shot it could make the sky split apart.

Due to the unusual reaction of the artifact, the elves elders gathered to hold a meeting.

"How's this? The artifact that was said to be able to shoot arrows that split the sky had already reacted to the existence of its master"

"We need to find the chosen one and bring him in here"

"But how? We don't have a clue where the guy is"

One of the elders got up from the chair "I have one proposal, call Yukino" he said.

An elf went out and called this elf named Yukino. A white-haired elf with blue eyes entered the room and saluted the elders.

"Greetings to the elders, I have come here to fulfill your call" he said respectfully.

"Sit Yukino".

"Yes"

The elder who called out to Yukino began to talk back "I want Yukino to go find that person, about the clues, just bring the artifact to react to his master" he said.

"Bringing artifacts? The artifact has been here for 700 years and has become a valuable heirloom for the village"

"That's true. However, none of us can use it, there are even stories related to artifacts of a kind with the Sky Piercing Bow. His name is Messenger of Death, there is a story if someone managed to use it and instead became a monster that destroyed his own kingdom. If that could happen, what about the arrow? Will the elves who wear them forcibly also become monsters?"

All the elders could not say anything more after hearing that and in the end they agreed to let Yukino take her. The arrow was wrapped in a special cloth made of magic to prevent Yukino's magic from being absorbed by him.

"Yukino be careful, if I can I want you to take her to the village and if she doesn't tell me you're going to be his wife" said the elder, who is Yukino's father.

"I-Wife!? Wait a minute Dad, this is too sudden!" Yukino was surprised to hear that.

"Dad knows, but, our fate depends on this. The demon lord had already begun to rise and a war might be about to happen again. We need someone strong to protect the village" his father said seriously.

"alright... I don't mind being his wife, but what if the chosen one is a woman?" Ask Yukino.

"Your sister is going to marry him" said the father with a thumbs up.

Yukino could only sigh at his father's behavior. However, his father did say the right thing, someone chosen by the artifact must be a strong person. He begins to travel to find the chosen one.

...ΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩ...

In a kingdom that was in the south, precisely the kingdom of the beastfolk lived. There was one of the Artifact Granting Skills named Beast Soul Neklace.

One of the 12 Artifact Granting Skills, was a necklace with a crystal shaped claw of a savage beast.

The ability of this artifact was similar to the Messenger of Death, the ability to control an army. The difference is that these artifacts can control monsters and can use their abilities. This artifact provides one skill that is increased fighting instinct.

The artifact was placed right next to the king's throne room. When looking at the artifact it emits light like feeling the arrival of its owner. The king and the palace officials began to flocked to find and examine all the knights there.

All were ordered to approach the artifact. But none of them were chosen.

"What does this mean?" The king looked so astonished.

"Your Majesty, it's possible that the chosen one is not from our country" said one of the king's advisers.

"If so, we should bring him here. If he was a man I would marry my daughter to him" said the king seriously.

His daughter who heard that was quite surprised and opposed him "Wait a minute father! Suddenly talking about marriage" he said with a reddened face.

"What's wrong, after all you're of a good age" said the king.

"Stretch... I-it's too sudden..."

"If you don't want to be okay, at least try to take it to our side. Go and bring this artifact, find the chosen one and bring him on our side" said the king ordering his daughter.

"A-I have to go look for her!?" The princess said with great surprise.

"Of course, this is proof that we want to have a good relationship with him. I'm sorry I gave you such a heavy duty Viana, but this is for the sake of our country" said the king with a guilty look.

"Huft~ It's okay dad, but if I don't like him, I won't marry him. I just need to get him to our side, right?" Viana said to make sure.

"Yes, that's all right" replied the king.

The next morning Viana set off escorted by a wolf bestfolk knight who was great at fighting.

...ΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩ...

Not only those two, the other 8 artifacts also gave the same reaction. Artifacts that were on the flying island, the seabed, inside the dungeon, the volcano, the forest of death, the sacred kingdom, the demon king's castle and the desert.

All of them gave the same reaction that made the entire world feel a gripping aura for a moment. A sudden solar eclipse and a sea of drastically surging monsters created panic in various places.

Even the demons also began to move to launch their attacks on various regions of the kingdom in this world in order to make their offerings to the demon king who will soon rise.

...ΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩ...

Satoru had been lying down for 2 days and finally woke up suddenly.

"A-What happened!?" He muttered so frantically and immediately sat down.

The room seemed empty and there was no one, only one bucket of water with a cloth inside.

Right, I fainted again... Butwhy? I've been holding back from making swords for a month, moreover it feels very different this time. That strange dream, the pain I felt, what did it all mean?

Satoru was still confused and could only sit still while calming his mind.
