916 Dawnbreaker (1/2)

'Hmm?' Aria tilted her head. She couldn't see either the energy and the sword's beautiful appearance, so it was such a shame.

Suddenly, a light ball was formed on top of the sword before turning into a child. He wore a cute short and a shirt with black stripes. The tall circular magician hat made him look very cute.

”Welcome to my humble abode. I am the sword over there, and my name is Dawnbreaker. You can call me Dawn.” He smiled from ear to ear. ”You can say that people might find this place if they have enough sensitivity toward the change of Sword Qi, so I am a bit surprised to see both of you coming here.”

”There is someone there?” Aria was confused. She could sense the sword, but it was the first time she felt something like this.

At the same time, Alex also remembered a certain thing. ”Are you this sword consciousness?”

”Ah, I almost forgot that not many know my real name. Anyway, I was the sword that the one you knew as Peerless Sword God wielded.” He grinned as if he was proud of it. ”And you can say that I am its consciousness, but I prefer the term of the Sword Spirit.”

”The sword of the Peerless Sword God?” Aria opened her mouth in surprise.

”Hmm? I have noticed this from earlier, but are you blind, girl?”

”Ye-yes.” She hesitated for a second before taking off her mask, allowing him to see the condition of her eyes.

”I see. That is a shame, but I can see a great future from you. And I feel that you have found your path, so believe in your path.”

”Thank you,” Aria answered with a bit of a hesitant tone. It felt weird to be praised by a sword.

He then glanced at Alex and pointed his finger. ”Hey, you. Do you want to be my next master?”

”!!!” Aria immediately turned around while opening her mouth in surprise. If the sword was indeed the sword that the Peerless Sword God had in the past, it could be said the peak Divine Weapon. To wield such a blade would surely invite many things, from fame, glory, or even pursuers. Unfortunately, Alex was a person who didn't have a need for this thing.

But whether he accepted it or not, it would depend on his heart. After all, the temptation of wielding the sword was far too good.

”Nope. Not a chance.” Alex shook his head, blatantly rejected the sword.

”Eh?!” The sword looked at him with a weird expression as if thinking how foolish he was. ”I am a powerful sword, you know.”

”I know, but I have my own sword.”

”Hey, I am a Sword Spirit born from an original sword technique, you know. I can help you fight.”

”Wait, wait! I have sensed a bit of your Sword Qi since I am a Sword myself. It's so powerful that I can't help but feel surprised. That's why I want you to be my next master, and I shall support you to the best of my ability.”

”Yeah, I don't doubt that. But I can't do it.” Alex shook his head with a long sigh. ”Just like you said to her earlier, I already have my own path, so I am not planning to abandon it.”

”Is that the reason why you have Spear Qi?” He narrowed his eyes.

”Eh?!” Aria drew a gasp as she was baffled by the sword's statement. 'Spear Qi?'

”Sword Qi… And Spear Qi…” He looked down, falling into deep thought. Suddenly, he remembered a certain person in the past. ”Don't tell me, you…”

Alex immediately appeared in front of the sword and closed his mouth, making Aria curious. The sword was going to say his identity, so to shut him up just like that made her pout.

”Mhmmmhmhmm (I won't say anything).” The sword looked at Alex pitifully, asking Alex to release him.

After hesitating for a few seconds, Alex finally released him and walked back.

”To think I would meet you again, but you feel different…”

”I am not him.”

The sword narrowed his eyes and sighed. ”I see. I can summarize what happens, but it's still unbelievable to see you again. Well, I won't say anything about your identity, and I understand why you don't want to be my next master.”

”If you only want to talk about this, we will return immediately.”

”I know you have a test. I am the one suggesting it, you know, so I will be giving you a reward for finding me. As expected, I am still curious what will happen if you are the one wielding me.” He grinned.

”No thanks.”

”Tch.” He let out a long sigh. ”Anyway, your reward is twenty thousand points and a special prize from mine.”

Suddenly, Alex saw a wisp of energy coming to him and immediately burned it with his fire.
