443. The World of Arms on the 86th floor (5)
“Check it out first.”
Kosrun returned Carvert’s relic to Taesan.
[Relics of Carvert: The Last Owner]
[Relics of the now destroyed world. It took the lives of countless members of the imperial family. You became the last owner of this sword. If the owner changes, all the stats of the sword disappear.]
[It is in a very imperfect state and has no value as a weapon. A vessel is prepared to contain the soul.]
“The attack power has completely disappeared.”
“Because what I want is to become a sword as a soul, not to put a soul in a sword. I modified it to match the characteristics of the soul. As a result, it lost its value as a sword, but it doesn’t matter. When everything is done, it will boast performance that is incomparable to the previous one.”
Kosrun smiled and entered the cave.
There was an altar there, ready when it was ready.
Strong will and strength hovered around the four pillars surrounding the altar. And in the center of the pillar, there was a space where the sword could be inserted.
“You just have to stand at the altar and embed Carvert’s relics.”
“Can I do it??”
“no. The soul who will become the sword must do it himself.”
[I’m sorry, but I can’t use physical force.]
Ghosts are dead. Except for special circumstances, it could not have any impact on the world. Kosrun said calmly.
“It’s an altar for that, so don’t worry.”
Kosrun fiddled with the numerous devices around the altar.
Kiyiing!
Then the device started working. A strange wave spread through the cave.
[This is…]
At the same time, the ghost’s body began to take on color.
Until now, it had been in a state of fantasy made of steam, but now it was regaining its own color.
“It would be possible to have enough physical strength to hold a sword.”
[…]
The Ghost reached out. Carvert’s relic was gently held in his hand.
[…It’s been a long time since I’ve held this sword again.] “
There’s no need to get sentimental because now we’re going to become one .
I’m running out of time. You can go in now.”
The ghost took Carvert’s relic and entered the altar. Kosrun spoke slowly.
“From here on, look deeply into what you wish for. Basically, it will take the form of a sword, but its ability will be determined by what you wish for.”
[What I want.]
“Then let’s begin!”
Kosrun pressed the device with an excited face. The ghost thrust
Carvert’s relic into the groove of the column.
Kiyiing!
The altar made an intense noise. Movements synchronize with each other to amplify power.
The amplified power was concentrated towards the ghost and the sword.
[Yes.]
The ghost let out a small moan.
It was a very unpleasant feeling. It was a sense that all the elements that make up oneself were distorted and polluted. The ghost controlled himself and thought deep into his heart.
‘What I wish for.’
Koo Goo Goo Goo!
With the noise, the ghost’s figure began to gradually disintegrate.
At the same time, Carvert’s artifact rose into the air.
The sword, which was distorted and collapsed by the powerful force, met the ghost.
Rather than simply putting their souls into the sword, they become a perfect one.
A life in the shape of a sword begins to be born.
“Ohhhh!”
Kosrun shouted with a face full of joy.
Fusion appeared to be successful. Bard Ray’s soul, which became one with the sword, did not feel any repulsion. They accept each other as if they were one from the beginning.
“You did it! I did it!”
Kosrun let out a roar of joy.
It was the moment when a single sword was gradually formed.
Something descended between them.
Something close to a pure law that does not feel any force or force.
It reached the ghost.
[Ah.]
The ghost groaned.
“Uh uh uh!”
Kosrun’s face suddenly changed. The state of the sword and the ghost, which had become one, was suddenly distorted.
“what! what’s the matter!”
He hurriedly manipulated the device, but nothing changed.
The ghost’s soul was gradually
being dragged to where it should be.
“why!”
Kosrun had an incomprehensible face.
But Taesan could see it.
It was the laws of the world that were attracting the ghost.
‘Is it death?’
The law of the world that a soul that has lost its body must go to the underworld. It was forcibly dragging the ghost who was about to be reborn as a sword.
“I can’t do that.”
Taishan spread black. In an instant, the cave was dyed black. Kosrun’s pupils widened.
“Uh huh?”
Taishan mixed divinity with it.
Gray covered the cave.
Death, who was trying to drag the ghost away, was blocked by the boundary line and could not reach the ghost.
Freed again, the ghost turned into a sword. The ghost wished for his wish deep in his heart.
Koo Goo Goo Goo!
Gray covers the world.
“OOO uh.”
Kosrun stumbled and barely stood up. The altar was shattered without leaving a trace.
And in the middle was a sword.
“Success… is it?”
Kosrun muttered. Taesan approached the sword.
The appearance was the same as that of Carvert.
However, what was felt in it
was something completely different and familiar to Taesan.
“how is it?”
[…it’s cold. It’s hard to feel the warmth.]
The ghost’s voice rang out.
Taesan held Carvert’s relic.
[You got the Prince of the Ruined World: Bard Ray.]
* * *
It was no longer Carvert’s relic. This sword was literally Bard Ray itself.
“Coke. Coke.”
Kosrun approached, clearing away dust.
Seeing the bard ray in Taesan’s hand, he rushed at it.
“Oh, how is it! Is it a success?”
[I think so?]
Bardray escaped Taesan’s hand
and floated alone. The movement that freely roamed the air was very natural, just like a person moving his or her body.
“Ohhh… ohhhh!”
A look of unconcealable joy appeared on Kosrun’s face.
“ha ha ha! I did it! I did it! I am! Success!”
Kosrun, who was running around, grabbed Taesan’s hand.
“thank you. thank you so much! Thanks to you.”
“If this happens, will your wish come true
?”
“no. That’s not right.”
Kosrun denied it with an excited face.
“Creating a weapon that is no different from a living being through the fusion of a weapon and a soul is definitely an achievement that no one can accomplish, but what I want is to see with my own eyes that the weapon I made transcends mortality.”
Bardray has gained potential, but has not yet surpassed mortality. It was hard to see Kosrun’s wish come true.
But Kosrun was very satisfied.
“But this is enough. I am satisfied to the point of overflowing. Just in case, if Bard Ray becomes immortal later, please come to me. I want to see it with my own eyes!”
[Well, I can do that much.]
“Ohh…
Kosrun shuddered.
“It’s all thanks to you.”
He looked at Taishan. After all, the possibility of his wish coming true
was only possible because Taesan brought the ghost to this place.
“What was your name?”
“Taesan.”
“okay. Taesan. What else? tell me anything I will make it for you.”
However, Taesan looked at Kosrun’s face and shook his head.
The face was very pale. It was not significantly different from the corpse.
“Let’s talk after a break. I have to check too.”
“Ah…
Only then did Kosrun’s legs falter, as if the forgotten fatigue came all at once.
“That’s… that’s right. sorry. I need to get some rest. I’ll come back later.”
Kosrun stumbled and headed towards his own space. Seeing this, Taishan came out.
“How do you feel?”
[How to say… I myself became a sword. I just feel that way. Although the senses are heterogeneous, I don’t think there will be any big problems in acting.]
Bard Ray, who floated alone in the air,
moved quickly. A sword strike was drawn along with a sharp pangong sound.
But somehow it was awkward. It was as if a child could not handle the weight of the sword.
[It’s too clumsy. It will take some time to get used to handling yourself as a sword. It’s not bad though. Satisfied.]
“That’s good. congratulations.”
Taesan sincerely congratulated. Bard Ray responded.
[Thank you.]
“Then what are you going to do now?”
The current Bard Ray is completely free.
It doesn’t matter if you are no longer by Taesan’s side. If Taesan wanted the ghost to leave, he had no intention of stopping it.
[I chose the option of becoming a sword because I want to see the rest of your journey.]
Bardray said calmly.
[Considering the grace I received from you in the first place, leaving is too conscienceless, isn’t it?]
“That’s right.”
Taesan said it like a joke. Badray returned to Taesan’s hand.
[I have no intention of leaving you. You are the only one who is qualified to handle me.]
[You have been recognized by Bard Ray. Everything about the storm-scarred sword dwells in you.]
At the same time as Bardray acknowledged it, the storm-scarred things permeated Taesan.
that knowledge experience effort. Everything is contained inside the mountain. Taesan lifted the bard ray and swung it. The sword swung like a storm with a sharp piercing sound
.
The swordsmanship was the swordsmanship of the storm scar. Taesan learned the Storm Scar Sword directly from the ghost, so there was nothing strange about it.
However, the sword he was wielding now far surpassed the level Taesan had handled so far.
[Is my wish manifested in this way… It’s amazing.]
“What did you wish for?”
[It was nothing. Even if I become a sword, I wish I could teach others the sword of Stormscar. I thought so .
did that happen like this It’s a little different from the wind, but it’s not bad.]
Taesan has been able to handle the storm-scarred sword almost perfectly.
The ability sword is, after all, a swordsmanship based on storm scars. It is safe to say that being able to handle the swordsmanship that is the basis for it has increased the skill level of the ability sword.
Taesan had reached the level of swordsmanship that the ghost had barely reached after devoting his whole life to it.
[And the other one is this.]
[Bad Ray activated Shape Embodiment.]
The sword rose in the air. And the shape began to change. The blade twisted and the hilt twisted.
Before long, a bardray in the form of a human made of iron appeared.
[The senses do not change, but is this enough?]
“Did you want to have a human form?”
[Similar. There are a lot of things that are uncomfortable with just a sword, right? So sometimes I wished to have a human form.
For now, this tidyer.]
Bard Ray returned to Taesan as a sword again.
[Then check it out.]
“Are you okay?”
Bard Ray was originally an adventurer, but now he has become a weapon of great mountains.
Taesan needed to check its performance.
However, it could be inconvenient for Bard Ray, so he deliberately put it off.
[doesn’t care. Because I was prepared for that
. It actually became a weapon, right?]
Bard Ray said lightly.
[I have become your weapon. This is the reward you got after clearing the 86th floor and Kosrun’s quest. You can check it as much as you like.]
“If so, then.”
Taesan did not refuse.
A system window for Bard Ray appeared.
[Prince of the Ruined World: Bard Ray]
[The Empire of the Ruined World. Prince of Carvert
. Bard Ray. He was reborn with the sword as his body.]
[Attack power + 2500]
[The proficiency of all swordsmanship skills increases significantly.]
[Bad Ray can move and handle his own swordsmanship.]
[Bard Ray can grow on his own. there is. Attack power rises as enemies are defeated.]
[Only those recognized by Bard Ray can handle Bard Ray.] [Users of swords recognized by Bard Ray
can
perfectly handle Storm Scar’s sword .]
[One per day Time. Bardray can activate shape realization with his own will.]
Level up with skills.
