Chapter 32: Right Hand Man

In a small cave between two big trees that was situated in a deep, wide forest which was in Rester city.

Two individuals were arguing over something inside that cave.

"My lord, you have to drink this. There is no other way."

"No. I won't! It stinks. And it also has some worms in it. Throw it away!"

These two individuals were none other than Dreamer and Liberi.

After Liberi successfully made the potion out of the Vintage Flick he asked Dreamer to drink it. But Dreamer was refusing to drink it and like this, an argument started between them.

Liberi was urging Dreamer to drink it.

While Dreamer was refusing with his only hand that was left with him.

"My lord! You have to drink it. Please!" urged Liberi to Dreamer as he moved the bowl closer to Dreamer's mouth in order to make him drink it.

"NO! And move it away! My nostrils will get burned by its smell!" retorted Dreamer as the potion was emitting an awful smell.

"My lord! Drink it without smelling it! Drink it!" urged Liberi again as he pinched Dreamer's nose with his fingers.

"No! Don't! I won't…"

"I am sorry, my lord! You will!" said Liberi as he forcefully made Dreamer drink the potion by pushing the wooden bowl in Dreamer's mouth.

And after a few seconds, the wooden bowl was empty as the potion went inside Dreamer's stomach.

"Ahhnggh! You bastard!" shouted Dreamer while holding his neck with his left hand as he was feeling grossed after drinking the potion.

But after a few seconds his sour mood disappeared as a notification was sounded inside Dreamer's head.

[ Host has consumed a healing potion ]

[ Host will fully regenerate in 7 hours ]

'I guess the potion was worth consuming, after all.' thought Dreamer as he sighed.

"My lord. Thank you for drinking the potion and I am sorry for denying your order but it was necessary. Nevertheless, I still deserve some punishment for not obeying you. So, give me any punishment you see fit." declared Liberi as he knelt in front of Dreamer to accept his punishment.

"It's fine. I was the one at fault here. You were just trying to help me. I am sorry." said Dreamer in a casual tone as he gestured towards Liberi to get up.

But after hearing Dreamer's reply Liberi was rooted on the spot. He was just looking at Dreamer in awe as if he was mesmerized by Dreamer's words.

Dreamer was also watching Liberi but he didn't say anything as he was still trying to forget about the taste of the potion.

And while looking at Dreamer and still in a kneeling position, Liberi spoke in a respectful manner.

"My lord. I have to tell you something!"

"What is it?" asked Dreamer curiously as he was also waiting for Liberi to say something.

After hearing this, Liberi just took his S rank sword in his hand vertically and moved the sword in front of his face and while standing up, he spoke with utmost respect.

"My lord. I, Liberi, your subordinate, pledge with my entire life that no matter what the situation is, no matter who the opponent is, I will never leave your side. I pledge my complete loyalty to you. My lord!"

Shocked!

Surprised!

Dreamer was left speechless after witnessing this scene as he always thought that Liberi is fully loyal to him all along but after seeing this he was not sure anymore. So with nowhere to go, he asked Helix about this.

'Helix? What is this? Wasn't Liberi already loyal to me?'

'Yes, he was. But the system can only make your subordinates 99 % loyal to you. And the remaining 1% loyalty has to be earned by you and I think when you helped him to have his sword back, you earned his remaining 1% loyalty. So, from now he is completely loyal to you.' explained Helix as he answered Dreamer's query.

'I see! That makes sense.' commented Dreamer as he understood Helix's explanation.

After getting an answer from Helix he finally looked at Liberi.

Right now, Liberi was wearing a black robe, his hairs were tied to a ponytail and his eyes were looking downwards.

He was holding his sword in front of his face and by looking at Liberi only one thought came in Dreamer's mind and that was.

"A true subordinate! Liberi, From now on you are my right hand man!" declared Dreamer in an authoritative tone as he too was impressed by Liberi's show of loyalty.

"Thank you! My lord" replied Liberi with a content smile as he was really happy by being the right hand man of his lord.

"Yeah. By the way, Is this the S rank sword?" asked Dreamer while looking at the sword that was being held by Liberi in his hands.

"Yes, my lord." replied Liberi.

"Oh! Then why isn't it glowing red like you said." asked Dreamer as the sword was looking like a normal sword and it wasn't looking like the sword that Liberi described to Dreamer.

"My lord. It's because I haven't poured my mana on it yet. Let me show you." said Liberi as he started focusing his mana on the S rank sword.

And soon, Dreamer started to feel changes in the sword.

The sword started to glow red little by little. And between the handle of the sword and its blade, an eye-like thing was opening. Its pupil was black in colour but the background was red.

And soon the sword started to emit a dreadful aura which was red in colour.

It was so ominous that Dreamer started to feel uneasy.

Liberi was taking too long to awake the sword but as Dreamer's mana reserves were increased by adding some stat points in intelligence he can afford that much wait.

And after a few minutes, Liberi finally spoke in a hoarse voice as it was also taking a toll on him by pouring mana constantly on the sword.

"My lord. It's done!"

After Liberi said this, the full view of the S rank sword came in Dreamer's view and after witnessing the full view Dreamer was unable to say anything.

The S rank sword was looking very dangerous. If someone saw such a sword in their opponent's hand then they would forfeit the fight right away as the sword had a menacing aura around it.

Nevertheless, Dreamer still managed to calm himself down and decided to use his skill, God's Eye on the S rank sword to see its full information.

But after seeing the S rank sword's information. Dreamer was even more shocked than before.

He looked like he saw a ghost.

His eyes were wide open after seeing the information about the S rank sword and in a shocked state he spoke while stammering.

"Liberi!...This sword is…is…a blessing!...but a….curse too!"
