Merged Weapons
Camila took the sword out of her storage ring, the treasure she had obtained in the Forest of Treasures.
Seeing how Camila pulled out such a shiny sword from her storage ring, Theos knew immediately that this sword was about the Treasure she had mentioned.
“So, this is your treasure, huh,” Theos commented, his eyes fixed on the sword that, from its aura and elegance, seemed to be divine.
However, just by Theos’ presence, the sword had a violent reaction…
*Buzzing*
The sword constantly shook and trembled, emitting a strange and weird sound that puzzled both Theos and Camilla.
“What’s wrong?” asked Theos first, looking at Camila.
“I don’t know, this hasn’t happened before” she affirmed.
Under her and Theos’ startled eyes, out of Theos’ storage ring came the Death Fragment.
The Death Shard floated in the air, approaching Camila’s sword.
Camila’s sword was released from her grip. Despite her strength as Grand Master, she could not stop the weapon’s advance in the slightest. In the end, he gave up, watching what would happen next.
The two blades drew closer until they
came to a halt about a meter apart.
However, an aura, I rather, two auras
formed an aura.
Yes, the energy of the Death Fragment merged with the energy of Camilla’s sword, thus creating a sort of sphere-shaped aura that covered the two swords.
And as if the current scene wasn’t shocking
enough, the two swords began to spin continuously, so fast that you couldn’t even see the shape of the two swords.
“Hm, item fusion?” muttered Theos to himself, remembering about this sort of ritual in the original novel.
This “ritual” could come in several forms.
But the most common is for one item to be the complement of the other, thus leading to an inevitable fusion.
Although these cases are special and rare, sometimes the fusion cannot happen due to certain circumstances. Especially when an item does not want it, after all, they are inevitable mergers, they will always happen if they meet certain requirements, but if an item has self-awareness and does not want to merge, the merger would be canceled at that time.
‘But the problem is not that they are merging, it’s that… How will they be able to merge? They are two different swords; one has properties of Death, and the other is literally from the Godria, a sacred tree,’ he thought.
The idea of canceling the merger had already crossed his mind several times.
However, his instinct told him that he
would wait until the fusion was completed. He could lose a great weapon right now,
but he chose to risk it.
After all, he who risks doesn’t win, right?
Not only that but if the two weapons were to merge into one, there would possibly be a battle between Camila and Theos as to who would get the merged weapon, which would undoubtedly be one of the best weapons in the world.
And if that scenario happened, it was hard
to say who would win between the two
currently.
Silently, the two waited for the weapon fusion to finish.
The gyrations of the two weapons together
stopped, again the two were facing each other. However, Theos and Camila could see a big difference.
“The Shard of Death seems more… Angelic?” he said, surprised.
Camilla didn’t say much, but she knew that
her treasure had had changes, as if it were more devilish, with the darkness being in front of its formerly divine blade. Seeing the two blades in front of each
other, they realized that, despite being very difficult, they were also quite similar….
“Is the fusion over?” asked Camilla.
Theos didn’t answer, mainly, because the swords themselves had responded… The aura surrounding them slowly diminished.
As if defying the very laws of gravity, the two weapons slowly descended, causing both Theos and Camila to react to grab their respective weapons. However, an anomaly occurred….
As she grabbed the Death Shard, a strange
beam of darkness traveled to Theos’ forehead, leaving a faint dragon mark, a
dragon entirely black with violet hues.
As fast as the mark appeared, it was even faster when it disappeared, lasting there for less than a second.
But with that second alone, Theos’ mind
opened completely, as if reaching enlightenment.
‘What is this,’ Theos asked himself inwardly.
Theos saw a lot of lives flashing through his
mind, but he could see nothing but shadows. As if the very people in those lives were nothing but Darkness and Shadows.
Suddenly, the image changed…
“Theos?”, Camila called, repeatedly waving
her hand in front of Theos’ face.
“Huh?” he reacted, staring at Camila in
confusion. “What happened?” she asked.
Seeing that Theos had finally reacted, Camila expelled a sigh of relief. “You suddenly stared at nothing for several
seconds, not reacting or doing anything, as
if you were in a coma,” he explained. Hearing Camila’s explanation, Theos nodded briefly. He didn’t know how much
time had passed in his mind.
[The Host just had a new skill: ???, rank:
????]
The system notified a new skill after a long
time, causing Theos to frown and I looked at the sword.
The Death Fragment had sought it out and
obtained it before resting briefly in the tree. Owning the sword, he could faintly sense where it was, as he felt it, so it was not a difficult or time-consuming task.
However, now, after the fusion, the had given him another ability. What would this be? And apparently, an
weapon
ability that even the system could not
detect.
Theos could only keep the sword in his storage ring.
“Thank you so much for bringing me to my senses,” Theos thanked, continuing. “Didn’t you feel something enter your mind?” he asked.
Camilla shook her head.
“By the way, I want to make you a great offer,” Camila suddenly commented, ignoring the fact that they had been talking
about weapons. Theos signaled with his hands for her to continue, so she spoke again: “I want you to join the Student Council.”
