Chapter 291 Sword Waifu [part 2]

Chapter 291  Sword Waifu [part 2]

Hearing Arthur's words, I let out a smile, knowing that Excalibur's silence means she's displeased with my absence. In the next moment, a dull-looking red, rusted sword appears in Arthur's hand. With a wave of his hand, he tells the butler to excuse us, giving us some privacy.

"As you can see, Excalibur isn't happy in the slightest," Arthur says as he slowly walks towards me, Excalibur still in his hand.

"I see... She must be mad at me for abandoning her for such a long time," I reply with a weary smile, as fragments of my memories from my past life start to resurface. Excalibur, a spirit weapon that was created alongside me. Excalibur was more than just a weapon; she was my confidant, my companion, and, dare I say, my first love.

Sounds crazy right?

Arthur stops in front of me and gives me the somewhat large red sword before moving back, giving us some distance.

"Arthur, I have a request to ask you, but first, let me sort out what I want to do first," I say with a serious expression, making Arthur nod his head, understanding the gravity of my words.

Shifting my gaze back to Excalibur, who is still silent in my hand, I run my hand across her intricate rune designs. For some reason, she doesn't react to my touches. It's as if she's angry at me.

Sigh...

"Has she ever shown you her true form?" I ask Arthur, trying to gauge how much she has revealed to him.

"Yes, only once, and she drained all my aura reserve," Arthur replies with a hint of astonishment in his voice.

Well, it's time to awaken her by calling upon her real name.

"Guida, come forth," I mutter, and start sending my aura into the sword, pouring my emotions and memories into the ancient weapon.

The rusted and dull appearance of Excalibur begins to change. The red blade gleams with a brilliant crimson hue, and the intricate runes illuminate with an ethereal light. As my aura merges with hers, I can feel the connection rekindling, as if a dormant flame has been ignited.

Excalibur trembles slightly in my hands, and her presence fills the air around us as a burst of aura erupts from her. The spirit within the sword stirs with a roar as if waking from a long slumber as the sword slowly disintegrates Into dust. Her true form, a magnificent and majestic ethereal being, materializes before us. Her flowing silver hair cascades like a waterfall, and her glowing red eyes look at me with nothing but love in them. She's also wearing a black robe of darkness that swirls around her like a miasma. I have to admit Guida is a very beautiful spirit.

"Guida," I whisper, feeling a rush of emotions surges within me.

"Master!" she replies before dashing towards me and hugging me tightly. "Why... Why did you leave me? Waaaaaaaaaah!!"

"I know, and I am deeply sorry for leaving you without a word. I don't know why they don't want to see me live in peace. But I was happy that I died fighting with you alongside me," I apologize sincerely.

"I understand, master, but do not let it happen again, *sniff*~," she says sternly, yet her eyes soften with forgiveness.

"I have a lot to ask you now, but I think we should get home first,"  I say, kissing her forehead.

"Home," Guida mutters in a low voice, confused.

With her awakened presence, I can sense her immense power and the deadly aura she possesses. But then again, she'll have to consume a huge chunk of my aura with every passing minute for her to keep her true form. But due to my aura reserve that increased significantly since my evolution, I don't have to worry about that.

request. After what seems like an eternity, he leaks out a sigh, showing that he's considering my plea seriously.

Turning to Arthur, I wear a resolute expression. "Now, Arthur, there is something important we need to discuss."

"What's that?" Arthur asks with a raised brow.

"Well, Arthur, I have a rather bold request," I begin, taking a deep breath. "I need you to escort me to the Celestial Monkey race planet. You see, you're pretty familiar with the area, and I could use your expertise and skills on this journey."

Arthur looks at me with a profound expression, weighing the pros and cons of my request. After what seems like an eternity, he leaks out a sigh, showing that he's considering my plea seriously.

"Jake, you know how dangerous that place can be," he says with a concerned tone. "But I also understand the importance of your mission. If you're going, then I'm going with you."

A sense of relief washes over me as he agrees to accompany me. It would be such a hassle to head there without having any knowledge about the celestial monkey race.

"Thank you, Arthur. Your assistance means a lot to me," I say, expressing my gratitude for his support.

He nods, but his curiosity doesn't wane as she looks at me suspiciously. "Now, tell me, what is your purpose on the Celestial Monkey race planet? It's not just for a casual visit, is it?"

"Fufu, no, it's not. My primary goal is to retrieve the other artifacts of the vampires that are currently in possession of the Celestial Monkey race."

Arthur's eyes widen at my revelation. "The vampire artifacts? Those are heavily guarded and require some dangerous trials to get, Jake. Are you sure you can handle the risks involved?"

A smirk crosses my face, confident in my abilities and the bond I share with Excalibur. "I wouldn't be asking for your help if I thought it was impossible. Besides, with Excalibur by my side, I believe we stand a chance."

Arthur's expression changes, realizing that my mind is set, and he won't be able to sway my decision.

"Well, if you're going, I'll be there to watch your back," he says, an adventurous smile blooming on his face and matching my own. "But promise me you'll be cautious and don't act cocky. The Celestial Monkey race isn't to be underestimated."

"I promise," I reply with a wide grimace, knowing fully well that trouble would always stir up anywhere I enter.
