”Can I look now?” Ria asked nervously.

Gray grabbed the bloodied corpse and threw it to the side, before crouching down before his rifle.

”Yeah.” He replied coldly.

His hands were trembling slightly, but he had gotten much more use to it in comparison to before.

Ria turned around and watched as he lifted up, the sniper rifle.

It's design was interesting.

The sniper's design was strange, the design was that of a dragon's, the nuzzle being it's mouth and the rest of it's scaly body moving all the way down to the sniper rifle's heel.

It's scope on the other hand was somewhat strange, it felt like it didn't belong the sniper, it was glowing on top of that, only reassuring the fact that it felt off.

”Put this in your storage.” Said Gray.

The moment he did so, he received a notification.

[You have acquired the artifact: Omniscient Optic.]

At that instant, the glowing optic dethatched itself from the Sniper, before moulding it's shape as it levitated towards Gray.

[Artifact is compatible.]

[You have the option to merge.]

[Would you like to merge with the artifact?]

”Brother, what's that?” Ria asked, surprised. ”It's not going to blow up is it?” She asked worriedly, grabbing his hand just in case.

Gray shook his head and watched it levitate, he stretched his arm out towards it.

”Change shapes... To goggles.” He said.

The floating glowing piece of equipment this as instructed and changed shapes into goggles.

The reason he had done so was to confirm something, now it was confirmed.

'So I don't need to merge with it, but merging with it will be a way to synchronise it with me... Is this an option only available to the system?'

Unexpectedly, the system replied.

[Due to a lack of information, I am unable to answer that question.]

[However- Merging with the artifact will allow the user to become one with the Artifact.]

[This will allow the user to harness more power from the Artifact while also using it in a more effective manner.]

”Is there a limit to the number of Artifacts I can merge with?” Gray questioned.

[There is no limit.]

[However, merging with an Artifact may lower compatibility for others.]

[User cannot merge with Artifact unless there is compatibility.]

[Equally, The user may unmerge with an Artifact if the conditions are met.]

”Gray... Who are you talking to?” Ria asked, even more frightened now.

From her perspective it looked like he was talking to the floating glowing object ahead of him.

”Don't worry, It'll be fine.” He said with a smile.

”Merge.” He suddenly said.

[Confirmed.]

[Artifact Merging.]

The artifact propelled itself at him like some sort of magnet, before slowly entering his forehead.

”B-Brother?!”

Ria watched filled with worry and surprise as the Artifact completely entered Gray's forehead.

[Artifact Synchronising]

[Omniscient Optic adapting to best suited form.]
