115 Not my Avatar pt9: Thousand fold Blade (2/2)

”It would never be as good as that one, those swords I had you fuse into one blade were the swords of previous Emperors” stated Draig causing Ginji to realize the sword was even more precious than he first realized causing him to take a step backward as if hoping to run.

”Give me my sword Ginji” growled Draig seeing the man's attempt at prolonging the inevitable.

”Look kid, I can't just give away something like this.” spoke Ginji but found a paper talisman against head forcing him into a awkward position pinning his limbs behind his back thus dropping the sword in the process.

”It was never yours to give away” sneered Draig as he picked up the sword and admired it, he had been keeping count while Ginji folded the blade.

”A thousand folds” muttered Draig causing Ginji to train his eyes on Draig as he hadn't even kept count merely focusing on removing all the impurities.

”I folded it a thousand times” asked Ginji skeptically though there seemed to be  a trace of excitement in his voice.

”I did not miscount, a thousand times and a thousand cleansings” spoke Draig as he rubbed the back side of the blade admiringly.

”I won't kill you this time but should you ever try and keep my possessions again then I will not hesitate to kill another fine smith” stated Draig as he turned his back and left, it wasn't until he was a safe distance away that he released the talisman and thus freeing Ginji.

Draig couldn't help but admire the sword and understand inherently why Ginji would want to keep this sword, it was something alluring about it unlike any weapon he had seen before.

'Thousand fold Blade, that will be the name of this divine weapon' thought Draig until he realized he didn't have a sheath for it.

”I suppose I will be able to settle for a normal sheath after having received such a grand sword” smiled Draig as he went to the Kori compound while noticing that people kept eyeing the sword in his hand hungrily.

'It's as if I have a beautiful woman on my arm' thought Draig as he started watching people warily in case they attempted to take his sword as well.

Draig took this as his signal to move quickly but still it seemed people wished to follow in order to keep gazing at the sword, it was odd that a piece of metal despite it's amazing quality could create such a commotion.

Eventually Draig ripped the remnant's of his shirt and wrapped the cloth around the blade causing the people to calm down and look arouned wondering what happened.

'Hypnotic almost' thought Draig as he continued moving with haste
