It sounds like a really fancy sword, until you realise any sword is meant to kill the opponent, apart from wooden practice swords. Between being dead and being eradicated, most of the time being dead could be better than eradicated. If there's no corpse, it can cause problems. Of course if it's some super regenerator, eradication would be useful. Those ought to be few and far between, however. From a legal point of view, if you go swinging your sword at someone, it doesn't matter if it's a rusty iron sword or a really fancy holy sword. It can be counted as attempted murder, even if you didn't manage to do much in the end.

Thank you for the translation!

Seems like Dominick is finally starting to feel jealousy. I'm sorry but I prefer the cinnamon sugar daddy for her!

 

[Penthero]

Hope she can give both of the some face slapping in the near future (no I don’t mean the ML candidates at her side).

 

[MrIncognito]

Two people mentioned gathering weapons in this chapter, one was being figurative and the other was being literal

 

[Warukyure]

There we go, 48 chapters and we finally get perfect villainess smug.

I wonder if and when she announces who Dominick is, if she introduces the magic tower leader, Isaac and both Princes. That would be complete domination on her end.

Or a blood bath if all 4 of them fight for her...

 

[Mystic0909]

Here's hoping Sheria gets disposed of quickly like the trash she is

 

[outinthegardener]

What if we kissed in front of La Pieta and the Holy Sword of Genocide? Jk! Unless...?

Anyways there's no way a church possessing a Sword of Genocide isn't evil af.

The problem is the setting here is fantasy so I presume the sword have some sort of fantasy power to deal more damage to the enemy like some kind of buff for the user and debuff for the enemy, it's probably meant to portray that this is some kind of nuke compared to normal guns. The point is not that the sin is different, it's just more powerful. At least that what's I understand.

Seems like the trash duke is finally getting a hint at Sheria's true nature

 

[AnnePackrat]

I approve of heroic butlers.

Thanks for the chapter.

You're right. It fucks with their magic and then they die.

From the description it sounds like any wound will start the internal reaction with the victim's mana. But that could just be an assumption from a vague description. And then you already addressed the possibilities of regeneration or healing magic in your post.

Yeah, I don't disagree on that, although the way Sheria explained it gave an impression of a weapon that sounds much more mighty than it actually is, the more you think about it. But that's probably just Sheria, who has likely never held a sword in her hand. However, the real problem is that due to her internal problems, you don't need a super fantasy sword to kill Mel. She's even weaker than she normally should be, even if she's slowly getting better. Unless she'd unlock outrageous powers suddenly under mortal danger. So, Sheria being all excited about getting a super weapon to "get rid of her sister" is either superfluous or irrelevant, to say the least. The bigger problem would be to get rid of Mel in a legal way. That's the hard part since Mel is obviously among the smartest people in this story (even if she's really dense romantically). It doesn't matter how good your weapon is if you can't/aren't allowed to use it.

I bet it's going to cause trouble to the mc's guardians, not the mc herself, if I remember correctly the MC might be able to summon the demons sealed to help her when she got better at using her dragon power so it might be a set up to counter that. Or just a random thought, maybe she also knows the future of the world since she acted suspisciously like that.

Mel has got Dominic, the ancient hero who defeated the demons and saved the empire. Her contract with Dominic was to safeguard her. I don't really see Dominic having any troubles, no matter what kind of sword Sheria received from the temple. Maybe he will just say it's a nice sword, but it's in the hands of the wrong person, and take it for himself before Sheria "accidentally" hurts anyone with it.

I mean...a sword that kills and makes the body go poof is a good tool for...reasons

It's useful if you personally need to make someone disappear and what happens next doesn't really matter. If there's no corpse or anything, it's an absent person, not a dead person. So, the person's status, possessions, and such won't change or move for a while. If that's enough, that only you know what really happened, it's indeed good, as it's more difficult to accuse anyone of murder if there isn't even a trace of a dead body. But otherwise it's better if a cadaver is discovered and things move forward.

Thank you for the translation.

Ahhh, I can't wait to see their confrontation. I also really like how Dominick is being possessive of his time with the FL. I really like the sibling like relationship they have. I hope they're not endgame.
