After mocking Orphesius, Ryutaro ventured deeper into the cave.
"Why does the aura here feel so hostile?" Ryutaro said.
"Of course, that's because the Bloodflare sword is a demon sword, and that's why the area around the cave is affected by it," the shovel replied.
"So, it's a demon sword? Does that mean it's like Grace?" Ryutaro asked.
"Not at all. Grace is just a regular demon race, whereas that sword belongs to the divine demon race," the shovel explained.
"Huh? If it's from the divine demon race, how can Valen control it? He can't possibly be relying on his regeneration alone, can he?" Ryutaro asked.
"Well, he didn't mention anything beyond that," the shovel replied.
"I see," Ryutaro said.
During their journey towards the sealed room where the Bloodflare sword was kept, Ryutaro couldn't help but ask a question.
"By the way, I'm still curious why I was able to enter this cave so easily. Even Orphesius was thrown back after trying to force his way in," Ryutaro said.
