I, Who Kept a Low Profile, Pulled Out the Sword in the Stone - Chapter 12

Chapter 12: I’ll Be The One Protecting Sister In The Future

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

“Junior sister, you’re not running away because you’re afraid of us learning your secret, right?”

Although Audrey’s voice was gentle, anyone could tell that she was angry that Robert ignored her calls just now.

“Senior sister, my secret isn’t even worth mentioning. The holy city is just too dangerous right now. I had no choice but to run away.”

Robert made himself sound pitiful.

Audrey’s tone softened after hearing that.

“Your senior Kael is almost at Rome. With her around, you don’t have to worry about your safety.

“By the way, I’ve already given Kael your phone number.”

Crap!

If that battle Junkie Kael were to find out that he had the Divine Sword in the Stone with him, she would definitely try to pick a fight with him. At that time, how could his puny bronze-level withstand the sheer power of a pseudo-God?

A tragic scene suddenly appeared in Robert’s imaginations. A lonely little flower suffering the wrath of thunderbolts and lightning on a stormy day. With a loud boom, a bolt of lightning streaked across the sky. The next moment, the puny little flower disappeared, leaving only a smoking black mark on the ground.

Robert shivered. He would never allow such a thing to happen.

He hurriedly increased his speed of escape.

“Buzz buzz buzz…”

Just as Robert was running for his life, the phone in his pocket rang again.

“I’ve never seen this number before. Could this be senior sister Kael?”

Robert’s intuition told him that this number belonged to Kael.

If he did not pick up, he did not know what those girls would do.

Robert knew how close the four senior sisters were. They kept no secrets from each other. He heard that the four of them were still living together, just like roommates who were close to each other in college.

Robert did not hesitate. He immediately answered the call.

“Brother, I’m in the holy city now. Where are you? I’ll pick you up,” Kael said with anticipation in her voice.

“Senior Sister Kael, to be honest, I’ve already left Rome. You don’t have to trouble yourself to find me.

“Thank you for coming to protect me. I’m very grateful, but I’m no longer in any danger now.”

Kael had just rushed to the holy city of Rome where she had not been for many years. In fact, she wanted to see what kind of bloodline Robert had awakened. After listening to Robert’s words, though she was a little disappointed, she could tell that Robert had made up his mind.

“Just call me sister Carl. Unless you answer my question, I’ll immediately start pursuing you.

“Don’t worry. I’ve already used my supernatural power in our conversation. No third party will be able to hear us!”

“Pursuing me?”

Robert could not help but misunderstand. If it was not for the special circumstances, he would gladly let her pursue him.

“I’ll only ask this question once. You have to answer honestly. Do you have the Divine Sword in the Stone with you? Don’t lie.”

Before calling Robert, Kael had already gone to St. Peter’s Basilica. She immediately noticed something strange there.

Although the Divine Sword in the Stone had been in slumber, she should still be able to feel the great power emanating from the sword as long as she got close enough to it.

However, this time, when she got close to the stone again, she could no longer feel the familiar aura of the sword.

Kael was undoubtedly a battle junkie, but that did not mean that she was a complete muscle-brained idiot. The other sisters’ analysis had all pointed to Robert, so she confronted him upfront.

“You’re right. The Divine Sword in the Stone is indeed with me.”

Robert knew that they would not be able to find him, so he openly admitted it.

“Ding!”

At this moment, Robert’s phone suddenly received a text message.

“Kael, despite our close relationship, you’re not gonna let me listen in on your conversation with Robert? I’m so angry.”

Robert could tell that it was a text message from Mulan just from the way it was written.

“Mulan, Robert is now holding the holy relic of the church. This is a matter for the church. Unless you join our church, you have no right to know what we talked about. Teehee!” Carl immediately said slyly to Mulan through telepathy.

“Hmph! Keep your secret conversations! See if I care! I’m not joining any church. I’m enjoying my freedom right now!” Mulan would not let Kael’s schemes come true.

In fact, out of the four sisters, only Kael still had a direct connection with the secular world. Audrey and the others had long been detached from the outside world.

Kael had tried inviting Audrey and the others to join the church multiple times, though none of them accepted the invitations.

In the room, when Fubuki saw Mulan throw a tantrum, she analyzed, “From all the signs, it can be seen that Robert must have awakened a bloodline related to the Divine Sword in the Stone. If I had to guess, the Divine Sword in the Stone is already in Robert’s body.”

If Robert had heard what Fubuki had said, he would definitely have cried on the spot. As expected of the master analyst, her analysis was on point.

Mulan immediately straightened her upper body.

“It seems like there’s no mistake. That’s the only reason why that Kael would be so serious.”

Audrey rested her chin on her hands as her beautiful eyes flickered with interest.

“I wonder what bloodline Robert has awakened. I really want to know.”

At this point, Robert had personally admitted to Kael that the Divine Sword in the Stone was with him. That meant that he had become the new owner of the church’s holy relic. Finally, the case was solved.

“Robert, where are you now? I’ll go pick you up right away.”

Robert suddenly felt a headache.

“Sister Kael, didn’t you say that you wouldn’t come?”

Carl laughed and said, “Robert, perhaps you still don’t undderstand the significance of the Divine Sword in the Stone to the church.

“The Divine Sword in the Stone is not only the holy relic of the church. At the same time, its master of the sword is also the candidate for the next pope. As the former Pope of the church, I will not let you leave no matter what.”

Moreover, there was also another thing that Kael did not mention.

The Divine Sword in the Stone must only stay within the church. Having it its master wandering off with it was actually a shame for the church.

“Sister Kael, actually, I’ve already accepted the mission that the Divine Sword in the Stone had given me. The Divine Sword in the Stone will make me become stronger.

“Sister Kael, have you seen the sword spirit of the Divine Sword in the Stone?”

What!

The sword spirit of the Divine Sword in the Stone!

Even Kael was a little shocked at this moment.

“You’ve seen the sword spirit of the Divine Sword in the Stone?”

According to the records of the church, even the previous owners of the Divine Sword in the Stone had never seen the sword spirit of this legendary sword. It was not that they did not want to see the sword spirit, but they simply could not do it.

The Divine Sword in the Stone had always been an enigma. The sword spirit was noble and proficient in human nature.

There was actually a legend among the higher-ups of the church.

Only after awakening a special bloodline could one see the sword spirit of the Stone God sword.

“Robert, I’m getting more and more interested in the bloodline you’ve awakened.”

Robert felt a headache coming on again. His mouth was dry from all the talking. If Kael did not want to give up, he really could not do anything about it.

“Robert, since you’ve seen the sword spirit of the Divine Sword in the Stone, then I believe what you said. If you have the sword spirit of the Divine Sword in the Stone to help you increase your strength, you must remember to work hard and not disappoint our expectations. Otherwise, I’ll personally come give you some guidance.”

Robert was stunned for a moment. He was finally relieved.

“No problem, sister Kael. When I’m stronger, I’ll be the one protecting you.”

Kael laughed.

“Protect me?

“Reach the pseudo-God level first before saying something like that.”
