Chapter 833: It Was Alive! (1/2)

However, there was a problem. Zap soon noticed that other candidates around Alanda began to show signs of awakening an Equipment Spirit. Sword, spear, armor, you name it. At least 20 or so equipment held by the candidates seemed to be awakening.

'This... How is that possible?'

Zap quickly called Roben over. Well, the fact was that even Roben had already noticed those changes. It was so obvious that Zap's perception wasn't necessary.

'What the hell is happening there?'

Of course, their eyes soon stopped on Krune and the dark cloud over his shield. After using their Divine Senses, they noticed that whatever he was doing was spreading around. It was because of that that the other pieces of equipment began to show signs of awakening. As for Krune's own shield, it wasn't possible to check because that dark cloud was too thick.

'Roben, have you ever seen something like that? I noticed that dark cloud around his equipment before, but I couldn't tell what it was.'

Roben shook his head as he said.

'No. Still, how could it give birth to so many equipment spirits just like that?'

Zap and Roben focused their attention on Krune and the others around him. Because the Spirits hadn't awakened yet, only Roben and Zap noticed the changes happening there.

However, that situation didn't last for long. Alanda and the others soon noticed that something was happening to their equipment. It was as if they wanted to leave their hands. They had to hold them down so that they wouldn't head in Krune's direction.

With all of that, the candidates began to pay attention to Krune. As for Krune, he still had his eyes closed while controlling the Calamity Laws. All his attention was on his shield and nothing else. The situation continued like that for a few more minutes until all of a sudden, everyone heard several cries from all the equipment around Krune, including his own. To be more specific, those were the cries of a baby.

Obviously, Krune snapped out of his trance as he looked at the shield in his hand. Immediately, he smiled as the shield moved on its own in his hand.

”Oh! It worked!”

Krune was just about to check his shield when out of nowhere, several pieces of equipment came flying in his direction... and knocked him down to the ground.

*Ouch!*

There were several weapons there, so one could imagine how dangerous it was. If Krune hadn't protected himself at the last moment, his body would be ridden with holes now.

Following that, all the equipment began to jump around Krune as they cried, asking for his attention.

”What the hell?! Why is this happening?”

That was the question that Zap, Roben, and all the other candidates had. Of course, they weren't idiots. They could tell that all those equipment had awakened their Spirits. A total of twenty-three pieces of equipment came to life!

*clang, clang, clang...*

Their sound continued to reverberate in the room as they jumped around Krune, ready to charge at him again.

Krune didn't care, though. He quickly grabbed his shield and ran away. However, all the just-born Equipment Spirits shot in his direction, once again threatening his life.

”Senior Roben, help me!”

With that, Roben and Zap came back to themselves and shot forward as well. Those were just Baby Spirits who weren't old enough to think. They just wanted to be close to the guy who awakened them. However, they were putting Krune's life in danger like that.

Zap and Roben only needed a few seconds to put all the equipment under control. After all, these Spirits didn't have any cultivation and were born into the lowest level of equipment. Seeing that Roben and Zap had stopped the assault, Krune finally let out a sigh of relief. Soon after, he looked at the owners of those pieces of equipment with an angry expression.

”Just because my cultivation is this low, all of you are trying to kill me? Why? Did I do anything to you? Is it that funny to bully the weak? Fuck you!”

Roben, Zap, and everyone else felt like crying. It was all your fault, idiot!

Roben then tried to calm himself while he held those pieces of equipment with his Godly Energy.

”Ahem... Krune, it was not their fault.”

Krune was taken aback by that.

”Not their fault? Then... why did they try to kill me?”

Roben's mouth twitched before explaining.

”They didn't. It was all your fault instead. You have just awakened all of their Equipment Spirits. No, it's wrong to say that you have awakened them. The only Equipment Spirit that has really awakened so far is the shield in your hands. These guys here are just close to that stage but are not completely awakened yet.”

”This... Then, why are they attacking me?”

Roben pondered for a bit before saying.

”They aren't attacking you. Their own instincts told them that the source of their Awakening was you. Because of that, they all shot in your direction after you finished awakening your shield's Spirit. An Equipment Spirit that doesn't fully awaken will fade with time. These Spirits' instincts are trying to survive by getting close to you. They want to fully awake even though they can't really think yet.”
