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, l 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.
'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 weapon had given him another ability. What would this be? And apparently, an 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."
