Chapter 24 – Zither of Divinity (I)

——————————————————————————-

Ye Yin Zhu hesitated on what to pick for a long time. He suddenly heard Nesta cry out in surprise. “Wow! What a large sword! Who can even use this?”

Sword? Ye Yin Zhu curiously quickened his steps, bypa.s.sing the display shelves to find a stunned Nesta.

Nesta was currently gazing at a weapon in front of him. It was a double-edged sword—incomparably large. Its girth was contrary to that of a common sword.

This treasury was extremely large, yet with the treasury’s height of at least 10 meters, that sword needed to be tilted so that it would fit. It was a meter wide, and its length exceeded 10 meters. It was half a meter thick, and the whole blade appeared to be dark-blue in color. The sword’s blade didn’t have any fullers1 because it didn’t make sense for such a gigantic sword to have any. Its weight was impossible to a.s.sess. At the very least, Ye Yin Zhu couldn’t estimate it.

This dark-blue blade had a decorative dark-blue design in the center. The decorative design was simple and clearly indicated that it originated from an ancient era. It wouldn’t have been able to fit in the treasury if it wasn’t tilted. Moreover, the large sword’s hilt surpa.s.sed 3 meters. Perhaps no one would consider this a sword.

Perhaps because it didn’t need it, the blade and the hilt were left unadorned, excluding the decorative design. A viscous feeling as well as a faint b.l.o.o.d.y aura was emitted, making people feel that it was absolutely not simple.

Slowly advancing, Ye Yin Zhu mimicked Nesta and stroked the dark-blue sword blade. Suddenly, he felt an electric shock that made his whole body quiver. It brimmed with a ruthless aura, as if the heavens and earth would move before its tyranny. Mixed in was an intensely familiar feeling. It seemed like this sword recognized him, called to him.

“Nesta, do you feel anything?” Ye Yin Zhu subconsciously asked.

Nesta blankly shook his head. “Feel? What feeling. This sword is truly mystifying! I discern that with its weight, it can definitely behead a mature Gigantic Dragon. My Blood Soul Spear is already the longest among dragonspears, and it’s only about eight meters long. This sword unexpectedly surpa.s.ses thirteen meters in length. This is simply inconceivable. From what I see, only a Behemoth from the Northern Wasteland can wield it with its weight, and that’s only if they were at least a Gold Behemoth. Behemoths are more advantageous with their claws, however, so they never use any weapons.”

Ye Yin Zhu looked at him in puzzlement. Could it be that only he could feel its domineering and familiar air? Why? Looking at the faint dark-blue sheen of the sword’s blade, he could see his reflection within it. When he looked, Ye Yin Zhu was amazed to discover that in the blade’s reflection, his eyes were emitting a faint violet light. His originally handsome and gentle face became significantly more authoritative and overbearing because of those violet eyes.

A faint warmth circulated through his meridians, and that power-filled feeling appearing once more. He carefully inspected the decorative design on that gigantic sword’s blade. Suddenly, the decorative design morphed. The sword blade’s dark-blue color seemed to become a sparkling and translucent violet for a split second, br.i.m.m.i.n.g with a brutal and murderous air. That decorative design rapidly changed, and a large word appeared on the center of the sword blade, flickering and s.h.i.+ning.

Amethyst—

These two simple words made Ye Yin Zhu’s heartstrings break. Amethyst Sword? This was its name?

“I will take it. Nesta, it’s unlikely that you will want it.”
