‘Is it the 5th pope...? No, it can’t be. That’s impossible.’

5th Pope Franz—he was said to be close to Pagma and the true master of the Holy Light set. It wasn’t a false history. Pagma was the maker of the Holy Light set. Furthermore, Pagma had sealed the Rebecca Church’s three artifacts as a favor to Franz. The relationship between the two men was likely to be deeper than what was known.

‘I can’t seal the soul of a close friend into a sword unless I am crazy...’

Grid shook his head to dispel such absurd suspicions. Pagma had a history of killing a friend called Braham. It didn’t make sense to place him in the category of an ordinary person.

“Are you Pope Franz?” Grid questioned. He was hoping for an answer, no matter how unlikely it was. Grid hoped that Pagma wasn’t as bad as he imagined. Unfortunately, the holy sword’s answer was ‘YES.’

-I’m surprised that you can guess who I am. You are truly a person associated with Pagma. You must be very familiar with Pagma. You can use Pagma’s power, right?

The voice of the holy sword was clear and bright. The expression ‘youthful’ was appropriate to describe it. Grid got goosebumps for many reasons. Pagma was cruel enough to imprison his friend’s soul in a cold sword. Meanwhile, Pope Franz retained his bright personality despite having been trapped in a sword for hundreds of years.

‘It seems to be the area of personality rather than mental power.’

Was he an infinitely positive person?

The holy sword questioned the stiff Grid, -Did you visit here because of Braham’s soul that you are harboring?

“Can you feel Braham’s soul?”

-At first, I couldn’t detect his magic power. I didn’t think that a soul could radiate such arrogant energy.

The holy sword seemed to be smiling. The present situation was pleasant.

“Is that why you are guarding this place?”

-You guessed correctly. I am guarding Braham’s body, which is preserved in the glacier dungeon under the Sword Grave.

At this moment, Braham’s thunderous voice rang through Grid’s mind, -The dog of Rebecca is trying to control my body, which is in his hands!

‘Calm down, Braham. Didn’t he say he was guarding it?’

-Guarding it from me! It is to prevent me from getting back my body! That Pagma who is eviler than a great demon—he is bothering me even after death!

“...”

Braham’s anger and anxiety were too strong. His soul fragment was small and weak and couldn’t afford the pressure from his emotions. It was dangerous. Grid decided to speed up with the quest in order to calm Braham down. He moved closer to the sword. The information of the holy sword was analyzed using Pagma’s Eyes.
