Chapter 823 - Phantom Dancer (2/2)

Lu De approached Ghost as she was returning to where Xiao Luo was standing. He was smiling at her when he spoke.

“Is anything wrong? What else do you want from me?” Ghost was curt as she did not have a good impression of Lu De. The old grandpa was one of those who had mocked her.

“You have god-given strength, and it is a revelation for me. But can I please ask you a question? Why do you have an umbrella with you all the time?” Lu De asked.

Ghost answered, “Because I hate the sunlight.”

“I see.”

Lu De pondered over her answer and nodded his head. He continued, “Then I assume you love umbrellas. One of the next two Sky-grade god weapons is an umbrella. You never know, but you might have some special affinity with it.”

Umbrella?

Ghost frowned a little at Lu De and was wondering what he was trying to tell her.

Everyone in the surrounding area who heard Lu De chattered amongst themselves. They wondered what kind of Sky-grade god weapon the umbrella was.

Lu De hid nothing either. He waved his hand, and two Dwarf Clan members brought out a black umbrella from a gigantic box and reverently brought the item to Lu De.

That was a Sky-grade god weapon?

All of them stared skeptically with doubts showing on their faces. The umbrella looked much too ordinary. It did not look any different from an umbrella one would use to protect from the sun or rain.

Lu De opened the umbrella in front of Ghost. It was black on the outside and red on the inside. Its handle was red as well and was in the shape of a cylinder. Carved onto the surface of the umbrella were images of blooming red spider lilies.

Ghost liked the umbrella as soon as she saw it. Her apricot eyes were glowing with excitement.

“Do you like it?” Lu De asked with a chuckle. He was like an old grandfather showing a toy to his grandchild.

Ghost kept nodding her head eagerly and replied, “Mm… mm…”

“I will give it to you if you can bring out the full potential of this god weapon,” Lu De said.

“Alright,” Ghost answered immediately and reached out to grab the umbrella. She wanted to wield it in the same way as she did with the double-edged Trident Sword.

“Wait. Let me introduce it to you before you try it.”

Lu De did not hand it over. He pointed at the red spider lilies on the umbrella and said, “This is the red spider lily. Legend has it that the red spider lily grows wherever people part ways for good. The reason for carving the flower onto this god weapon is obvious. This god weapon is an umbrella of the undead, the umbrella of death. Its name is Phantom Dancer.”

“Phantom Dancer?” Ghost repeated after Lu De.

Lu De nodded his head. Then he continued, “Phantom Dancer has strong defensive capabilities. Neither sword nor spear can pierce through it. Water or fire cannot destroy it either. The edge of this umbrella is even sharper than a blade. You can kill someone with just a passing slice. The best part is that it can convert True Inner Force into powerful energy cannonballs, launched from the tip of the umbrella.”

Lu De showed off its abilities as he explained what Phantom Dancer could do.

The surface material of Phantom Dancer looked ordinary. But no matter how Lu De sliced the surface, it remained undamaged. Not even raging flames could do anything to it. The edge of the umbrella could easily cut an iron rod like it was cutting a soft pudding. Finally, Lu De showed off the powerful energy cannonball. Grabbing onto the umbrella handle, he injected True Inner Force and pointed the umbrella toward a wall before shooting it.

WHOOSH!

The powerful energy cannonball flashed with golden light and smashed into the side of a plaza wall. A loud boom rang out in the square and shattered the thick wall.
