Chapter 39 Sword Wisdom

Not one can blame Cyrus for being vigilant. For a very, very long time, Cyrus was used to being an omniscient and omnipotent Lust God.

He had almost lost the emotion of being in the dark.

Especially when he was dark about almost everything surrounding him, from his rebirth to this point, there were many things he was clueless about, and now it started to get on his nerve, and the longed-buried emotions like the constant fear of the unknown started to surface.

Once someone becomes a god, they would lose almost all their emotions eventually because there is nothing ahead that could keep them going or looking forward to.

Cyrus wasn't any different, and of all the emotions, he cherished his emotions related to lust only since it was the only thing that made his entire existence. But right now, that attitude was nothing but a hindrance, and those long bury emotions were also important.

However, since he had lost his Godly Crown, he was slowly experiencing everything that a mortal would when they faced such situations. But the only difference was Cyrus could use those emotions as he wished with his unimaginable experience.

But still, he was always baffled by the System no matter how composed he was, and now wasn't any different when it granted Eve the Origin Lust Sword Hymns just when he acquired the first move.

This feeling of not being in complete control wasn't good, especially when that uncontrollable thing was his own freaking 'cultivation technique!'

'Well, this is what you get after stepping into the unknown. I better get used to it and be ready for anything.' Cyrus smiled wryly as he quickly composed himself.

"Alright, Eve, I also got the same sword technique, and I'm about to start practicing it as well. You may ask if you don't understand anything and practice diligently since the system told you." Cyrus gently stated to Eve.

"Really? You also got the same Hymn of Awakening as me? Didn't this mean we could learn with each other?" Eve was delighted as if she had found some new toy to play with.

Cyrus rolled his eyes and thought, 'How naïve. How can she practice with me when she's in sword form…'

However, his expression changed as he thought of something and took a deep breath, but his eyes were still shining with a peculiar light.

"Eve, tell me if you feel anything when I practice the Hymn of Awakening." Cyrus seriously ordered.

"Alright! I won't slack off and show you I'm far better than that vixen!" Eve's competitive spirit was instantly ignited as she was also jealous of Rita, who learned from Cyrus, and now it was finally her turn.

Cyrus smiled in satisfaction, feeling her motivation, and didn't keep her handing.

His expression turned solemn as he stood in a straight stance before he moved the lust sword far back from his body and finally stopped when his hand finally couldn't extend anymore, making a strange posture.

Suddenly he swung his hand forward with swift movement and stopped his hand when his hand and sword were pointing at the sky while he stood straight. He finally turns his sword 60 degrees and swings it diagonally.

He then retracts it at the same line with an even faster speed.

Cyrus performed nine moves with different angles, and everything he performed a move in succession, and a different voice was produced.

However, Cyrus's attention was on something else. The moment he performed all nine moves, he stopped and questioned Eve, "What do you think?"

Eve was startled by his sudden question and questioned back in confusion, "You want my input?"

"Of course, since you also got the same technique and as an observer, you can see much clearly from a sword perspective, at least. Just tell me whatever comes to your mind without holding back. Even if I made a mistake, I won't mind at all." Cyrus gently encouraged her.

Eve was stumped by his humble attitude and shyly said, "A-alright, if you put it this way, then I'll tell you my sloppy opinion."

Cyrus's eyes flashed in a peculiar light and smiled, "Don't hold back."

Eve then finally said, "I think all your moves were flawed. I-it's only my personal opinion as a specter, so don't get angry. You asked for it!" She instantly came clean.

However, instead of getting angry, Cyrus's smile widened, "Alright, as I said, you being honest is what I asked for, and I want you to continue being honest. I'm going to perform it again, but this time I want you to guide him from your perspective. If you think it's flawed, then correct me until you are satisfied."

"C-can I really… do that?" Eve was now even more baffled by this since it was completely opposite of what she was thinking before.

She thought Cyrus would be the one guiding her, but now he wanted her to guide him. If not for his serious expression, she would've thought he was taunting her unjustly.

Cyrus said smilingly when he felt her hesitation, "Just go for it. I will follow your lead. Think of it as I'm under your control!"

"Under my control?" Eve mumbled with a strange ecstasy in her voice, as if she liked the sound of it and won't hesitate anymore.

"Alright, you better not get angry since you are the one who asks for it! Now stand straight!" She instantly threw a command.

Cyrus didn't reply as his expression turned solemn, and he stood straight like a soldier.

Even instantly giggled when she saw Cyrus was really following her command, so she also didn't let go of this rare chance and continued.

"According to my memories, performing the Hymn of Awakening is the easiest while standing straight, and it's all about the movement of the arm and speed. Before, you didn't stretch your arm fully, so your first move was flawed. Now, stretch your arm behind until I tell you to stop!"

Cyrus did without hesitation and started to stretch his arm behind like before, but this time, he was following Eve's instruction fully.

However, he soon finds that he is in it for a nightmare when Eve has him stretch his arm, almost dislocating his shoulder, and only stops when he is at the breaking point.

"Good! Now swing it straight all the way to the sky, and don't mess up the straight line, or you need to start again!" Eve quickly commanded.

Cyrus again followed her command. However, when he was halfway there, his hand budged from a straight line for a millisecond.

No one would've noticed it, but for some strange reason, Eve instantly did as she started to point it out.

"Hey! You miss the angle, do it again!"

However, Cyrus didn't dive into it right away but inhaled deeply as his eyes were now glowing like two colors of the sun as if he had just found the most precious treasure out of nowhere.

Without hesitation, he kissed the sword, and Eve's giggles rang, "Hehe, it tickles, you idiot, you kiss my tummy! What got into you all of a sudden?"

Cyrus didn't mind the minor details and happily said, "My precious little Eve, if you were here, I would've kissed more than just your tummy. You have no idea just what gift you have been bestowed by the system."

Eve felt he was truly happy, and it was about her, so she also felt happy for no reason and asked with some anticipation, "What gift?"

Cyrus sighed in excitement, "I finally understand why the system gives you the same sword technique to practice at least a part of it. If there are more, I don't know. But I'm sure about one thing. You are truly turned into a sword and not just a sword but a sword with Sword Wisdom!"

"What's sword wisdom?" Eve asked curiously since it was her first time seeing Cyrus's excitement.

"I only read ancient records about Weapon Wisdom, and there weren't many details since it was never seen or confirmed. According to those records, the Weapon Wisdom is the highest realm a Sentience Weapon could achieve.

"Like when a Sword achieves the realm of Sword Wisdom, it's no longer be called a sword but a terrifying being that can learn and perform any Sword Technique with a mere glance no matter how complex it is or it's rank.

"Furthermore, the truly terrifying aspect of Sword with Sword Wisdom is even if someone is performing a flawed sword technique, it can instantly correct it to perfection.

"Don't you find it strange that you can instantly see the tiniest flaws in my movement despite just learning about the technique and not even practicing it? I never thought I would ever possess a weapon with fabled weapon wisdom.

"Even Smith God was never able to find a way to create such a weapon. It was his life's obsession. Now, I understand that such a weapon might be only made with a living person with your physique and a ridiculous technique like the system!"

When she saw Cyrus's elated expression, Eve was lost for words, and she mumbled innocently, "Am I that impressive?"

Cyrus couldn't help but chuckle in self-mockery before his eyes shimmered with ambition, "You're beyond impressive, and now I can finally see the way toward the absolute panicle with you by my side and… the system!"
