Chapter 105: CHAPTER 104

When Andrew heard that it was a divine weapon, he was so surprised that he practically jumped out of his seat. On the other hand, Aki, who couldn't see or hear Fluffy, was puzzled by her master's behavior.Fluffy was a divine beast, although for Andrew he was just a convenient system operator, he was not really a simple creature, only Andrew did not know it. In fact, if Fluffy wanted to, he could easily erase the existence of this world, he was that powerful.

Unfortunately, being assigned to Andrew as a helper, he was not allowed to use his power, but for protection, he was allowed the ability to hide, so that was the reason no one other than Andrew could see him.

To be more exact, any other god candidate, divine beast, or god could see it, but the chances of any of them appearing in this world were as slim as the grains of sand in the universe. Sёarᴄh the NovelFire.net* website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

This was not without reason. When the initial god, that is, the god of creation, established this system, there were not as many worlds as there are now, and for this reason, in his eagerness to create new gods, he sent several candidates to a single world, but that was counterproductive.

Although the candidates for god have divinity, they are basically mortals, and like all mortals, competition is part of their nature, and having several candidates for gods in a single world only generated chaos and they ended up destroying each other.

For that reason, the god of creation created this system, which consisted of sending a single god candidate to each world at a time. Despite that, many of the god candidates failed their ascension, as they were mortals and that's when the divine beasts were assigned to help them and finally, the success rate of ascended gods increased.

However, that is a separate case. After the initial surprise, Andrew calmed down and began to question Fluffy about the weapon, not caring what thoughts Aki might have, in fact, he had forgotten about her presence in the room.

"Fluffy, what do you mean by divine weapon?", Andrew was not entirely ignorant of the subject, because when he bought Oliver and the first slaves he had asked if the soul contracts of the slaves could affect him and Fluffy had told him that if it was not a contract with divinity it would not affect him.

From there he could intuit that in this world there could be different things that had divinity and could harm him, although he did not know the details. Obviously, a slave contract and a weapon are different.

Andrew as a god candidate had his soul protected from deadly binding abilities or objects, but his body was mortal, so even the simplest knife could kill him, not to mention a divine weapon.

He was just curious to know how a weapon of this caliber had fallen into the hands of two lesser thugs like Rufal and Dinocal. However, at Andrew's question, Fluffy remained silent and carefully observed the weapon.

Aki frowned more and more at the behavior of her master. He first jumped unexpectedly at the sight of the weapon and then stood silently staring into space, which made her worry.

For Aki, Andrew was staring into space, but it was because she couldn't see Fluffy, even so, Andrew paid no attention to the little assassin and waited patiently for Fluffy to speak.

Fluffy did not wait long. After a few minutes, he spoke, "Well, looking at it closely, it is not a divine weapon, but a forgotten weapon." The term used by Fluffy to call the red dagger confused Andrew, since he had not heard what a forgotten weapon was, so he asked.

"What do you mean by forgotten weapon? What is a forgotten weapon? Under Andrew's questioning, Fluffy began to explain, "Master, a divine weapon is just like its name says, a weapon with divinity in it. There are two types of divine weapons, those forged by a god and those imbued with divinity by a god, most divine items are of these two kinds."

Andrew just nodded his head, showing his understanding and Fluffy continued his explanation, "On the other hand, forgotten weapons or objects are those that at some point were impregnated with divinity, but the god who used them, left them in a mortal world after the divinity was removed."

With that explanation Andrew understood the term "Abandoned weapon", it was just as its name said, the weapon had been abandoned by the god who used it, however, that did not discourage Andrew, because that meant that the red dagger was a divine weapon at some point, so it must be much more powerful than common weapons, so he asked again.

"Even though it's an abandoned weapon, that means it was a divine weapon at some point, right? That means it's powerful, right?", to which Fluffy responded, "Certainly any abandoned item or weapon is far superior to mortal weapons, however..."

Fluffy did not finish speaking and looked at the red dagger again, in fact, the whole time he was talking to Andrew he did not take his eyes off the red dagger and that made Andrew unconsciously look at the weapon as well, as if trying to understand what Fluffy was seeing, but he found nothing.

Not understanding Fluffy's behavior, he asked again, "However, what? Something happens?". However, Fluffy didn't answer him and kept looking at the red dagger and soon there was a serious expression in his eyes.

Due to Fluffy's spongy shape, it was hard to notice his expressions, but Andrew had already gotten used to this divine beast and could more or less understand his expressions and so he knew that the weapon had something special for Fluffy to see it in that way.

As if corroborating Andrew's thoughts, Fluffy spoke, "Master, this time you found a treasure." The furball's statement made Andrew happy, but not knowing the reason he decided to ask.

He knew from Fluffy's explanation that as an abandoned weapon the red dagger in front of him was special and powerful, but he also believed that Fluffy would not look so seriously at the weapon just because of that, so he said, "What kind of treasure?"

"Master, as I told you, abandoned weapons are much more powerful than mortal weapons because at some point the divinity covered them, and that made them evolve", said Fluffy taking a breath and continuing.

"Indeed, not all materials have the ability to support the divinity of a god, so from that fact alone, you can already understand how amazing this dagger is, however, this weapon went one step further."

"One step further? How?" Andrew asked impatiently. He wanted to know everything about the strange red dagger, but Fluffy was spinning his explanation and it was irritating him.

Fluffy noticed his master's impatience and replied, "This weapon has a conscience." This statement confused Andrew again since he didn't understand what he meant, but before he could ask, Fluffy explained.

"Master, a weapon with a consciousness is extremely rare, not only is it much more powerful than other weapons, but it could evolve into a spirit."

Every time Fluffy spoke, he left Andrew more stunned. This was not due to the incredible description of the red dagger, but because every time Fluffy used a term that he did not understand.

First, it was a divine weapon, then an abandoned weapon, after a weapon with consciousness, and now spirits. Honestly, Andrew was starting to get pissed off and because of that irritation he forgot to speak in his mind, and raised his voice, surprising Aki again.

"¡Fluffy explains everything correctly, don't throw in terms I don't understand! What the hell is a spirit?" Aki reacted immediately to Andrew's outburst and approached worried, she thought that the weapon had some spell and her master had been affected.

Her thought was not abnormal, in this world there were curses that were a type of magic used mainly on weapons and valuable objects as a protection mechanism and she thought that the weapon Andrew was looking at, was one of them.

Running in a panic next to him not knowing what to do, she said, "Master, are you okay?" When Andrew saw Aki so worried he noticed his mistake and apologized, "I'm sorry Aki, did I scare you? I'm fine, I'm just using a special ability of mine and I got a little frustrated since it doesn't respond to my requests".

Aki breathed a sigh of relief to see that her master was fine, but Fluffy had black lines on his face because he knew that Andrew's words were both an apology to the little girl and a criticism of him.

At that moment, Fluffy also realized that he had been so absorbed with the weapon in front of him, that he had not noticed that he was explaining in terms that a mortal would not understand and especially a mortal with a soul from a world lacking in those elements, so he explained.

"Master, I'm sorry, I was so surprised that I wasn't clear. To put it simply, spirits are semi-divine beings. Its birth can be generated for different reasons, one of them may be due to the evolution of the consciousness of an object or weapon or the natural energy of someplace, or the blessing of a god.

Fluffy paused and continued, "It can be said that after gods and divine beasts, they are the highest-status beings in existence, therefore, this weapon if cultivated well, can become a spirit, which will be of great help to the master."
