The Ultimate Support Character-Chapter 520 Weaponsoul
10 minutes later, the first sign of the awakening of the Weaponsoul began after continuously absorbing the surrounding Source Energy. And thankfully, the Artificial Intelligence heeded my words about not talking. It could watch but if I failed this, I might take my anger out on it.
After that much progress, the ordinary hilt of the Willful Sword had transformed. It's now glowing in gold as flashes of lightning could be seen running along its surface. Moreover, the butt of the sword hilt now resembled a dragon head.
Now it's not just a property it absorbed from the Tribulation Lightning during my Transcendent Trials.
As for its blade, its length grew a few centimeters longer while its width thinned slightly. Nonetheless, apart from that, it still looked ordinary at best.
But what more could I ask for? Slasher was the same. Despite being the weapon of a Divinity, it didn't have an awe-inspiring look. Most of those I fought using it always underestimated its prowess.
They all regretted doing that seconds later. However, there was also no second chance for them. They never lived to see another day again after all.
Another 10 minutes later and the Weaponsoul of the Willful Sword finally appeared before me.
Taking in the form of a small sprite hovering just above its hilt, it then transformed into a small girl wearing a dark qipao with her long black hair done into twin buns. Her wide forehead was showing and her face looked like a steamed bun or a ripe peach with both of her cheeks reddened.
It's a Weaponsoul who took on the form of a girl again…
That's right. Slasher was the same but unlike this somewhat adorable steamed bun, Slasher's Weaponsoul appeared to be a mature woman who's always grumpily nagging at me as it lamented for not getting a better name.
Nonetheless, Slasher was sharp enough to cut a Sage-level Space Beast without even using a Sword Skill or Swordforce.
If that Sword was still floating out there and hadn't vanished into the deep trenches of the Known Universe, I might be able to get it back. f𝐫ee𝘄ℯ𝚋no𝐯𝐞l.c𝘰m
Using two swords with Weaponsoul was possible. However, the Expert should make sure that both Weaponsouls get along with each other. Otherwise, they would try to best each other by using a larger part of the Weaponforce.
As soon as the steamed bun-like girl opened her eyes, she excitedly flew towards me while blinking her round red eyes.
"Master."
The Weaponsoul was only the same size as Irja's Lesser Elementals so she's even more like a steamed bun when she cutely landed on my opened palm and adorably called me 'master'. Following that, she clumsily climbed up my arm to reach my shoulder and stood next to my face.
There's still a chance that she would grow but at the moment, she would always become like this. And as expected, she's truly the embodiment of the Willful Sword who kept on humming excitedly.
Now that I was thoroughly aware of my terrible naming sense, should I give her a better name than continuing calling her Willful Sword?
"Do you like your name?"
"Un. It's what master gave me. I like it a lot."
The contrast this Weaponsoul had compared to Slasher was too much… Perhaps it's because I thoroughly cared for this one while Slasher was mainly used to trample those who would dare hurt my companions. I was merciless back then. The number of Mortal and Transcendent Worlds that I lead to destruction could not be counted on my two hands. Moreover, all of those were instances that I kept a secret with the girls.
Regardless, Yuko and the others most likely found out about those but they kept quiet about it because the only reason I was doing those concerned all of them.
There's a Transcendent World who tried taking advantage of Avelin's innocence to turn her into some sort of goddess for their Mortal denizens.
If that's their only aim for doing that then I would let it pass. However, they fed her with a lot of misinformation. Although they couldn't touch her, they managed to let her do their bidding by sugarcoating their words. They used her to destroy a lot of Invasive Worlds and plunder them for the world's progress.
At that time, I wasn't at her side. That's why when I heard about her situation. I hurriedly went to that world, ripping open the Source Energy Shield that the World's Will raised to prevent trespassers.
Following that, I took her away with me despite their resistance. Although the girl willingly followed me because of her trust, she's still under the influence of their words that it made her sympathize with them.
Due to that, I prevented a bloodbath from happening. I brought her back to Earth first before returning to that world. I then disguised myself as an Envoy from a higher world and brought their world into chaos by inciting wars and empowering the Mystical Beasts residing in their world to invade their civilization.
I also opened Portals for some Invasive Worlds to use for their invasion. pan(da-n0vel.c)om
And when those Invasive Worlds began their assault, I assassinated their strongest Transcendent. They still hadn't produced a Sage realm back then.
Their once prosperous world lit up in flames as if the apocalypse had arrived.
However, before those Invasive Worlds reach the Source Energy Core, I swooped in to save the few survivors, granting me the title of the Savior.
Naturally, the World's Will recognized me no matter what disguise I put on so it's aware that I was the culprit. Nonetheless, it couldn't do anything to me. My Energy Control was stronger than World's Will. If I wanted to, I could easily oust it from its throne.
As for the conclusion of that petty revenge, I sent that world near a Chaosworld that's housing a Space Oddity as strong as a Rank 3 Sage.
That way, even if that Space Oddity would be restricted and purified by the world's Source Energy, it wouldn't be enough to stop it.
Due to that, that world ended like that. Some denizens tried to escape but as soon as they left the protection of their world, they got swarmed by more Space Oddities that couldn't enter their world.
Once their Source Energy Core was absorbed by that Chaosworld, the whole world also transformed into a new land for those Space Oddities.
Naturally, I returned there to harvest Chaotic Energy for our own progress. Avelin probably had an idea of what I did but she didn't raise a question about it.
Anyway, that's how merciless I was before.
As for now, I still am but I already have some human-like qualities due to the years I lived as an ordinary guy.
"I was going to get nagged at by my Companions if I let you keep that name. Let me see… The Sword will still be called Willful Sword and you will have a new name… Hmm… What do you think about Momo?"
I tried my best to think of a new name… I thought of naming her as Manju but… that would just cement that she's a steamed bun. That's why naming her as a peach was somewhat better. I think?
"I like it! Thank you, master!" The Weaponsoul jumped and embraced my cheek with her tiny arms.
After that, while she's excitedly rubbing her small cheek on mine, another huge surge of Source Energy fell on the floating Willful Sword.
Momo, who's still trying to stick with me, involuntarily floated up from my shoulder. She even showed a teary-eyed expression but when she was completely submerged by the Source Energy that extended from the Willful Sword, Momo shined with the blue color of Swordforce.
That's right, even without my input this time, the Source Energy that was being absorbed and used for the reforging of the Willful Sword transformed into Swordforce.
The teary-eyed Momo then straightened her tiny body as she began to float back to the Willful Sword and merge with it.
With this, the awakening of the Weaponsoul was successfully completed. Although it was termed as difficult and needed a lot of focus, as long as the awakened Weaponsoul agreed completely with its owner, the awakening process would be over and the last part of reforging would happen.
A few seconds later, a system notification rang out.
