Reincarnator : One who used a technique or an artifact to reincarnate after dying once. +50% Stats when in combat.
As he read the results of the appraisal, Arthur couldn't help but feel shocked. It is the first time he encountered a reincarnator like him, though they didn't reincarnate the same way.
Moreover, she was interested in Lucy for some unknown reason which made him a bit restless. It's unlikely that Lucy's identity had been exposed but the probability still exists. In fact, he already started regretting following Shu Ru here.
If it was a normal God Monarch then he wouldn't have reacted like this, however, this woman seemed strange, very strange, in fact.
Although she was a God Monarch, he felt overwhelmed as if she's undefeatable even if she were to go all in.
”Fuck! Out of everyone you could meet, you still manage to stumble upon a reincarnator. It's like you're doing it on purpose, seriously!”
Claud lashed out at Arthur and angrily berated him. The copy didn't seem to be pleased after he read the appraisal. It wouldn't be a lie to say he was more shocked and restless than Arthur.
”Listen very well, once this meeting is over, you have to leave this place, do you hear me? I don't know where you go but don't stay here.”
In response, Arthur said
'Must you react this intensely? While it's true she's strong and a reincarnator, she isn't our enemy.'
Unfortunately, Claud wasn't going to let go of this matter this easily. He loudly retorted
”Are you stupid or what?! Look at yourself, you're a reincarnator and you're this strong when you're only at the God Realm! Do you honestly think that her Realm is her real power? I wouldn't be surprised to see her kill Overgods!”
Arthur, still calm, added:
'So what? It's not like I provoked her. I'm just here asking for help.'
”First, reincarnators can sense each other, meaning that she already knows about you too. Second, more often than not, reincarnators end up killing each other as it'll grant them endless benefits. Though you're weaker than her, that doesn't mean she'll not kill you.”
'You're jumping to conclusions, moreover, I'm positive I can escape with Lucy.'
Hearing this, Claud sighed and stopped talking. It didn't seem that Arthur will heed his warnings. The reason Arthur chose not to listen Claud is because this encounter will surely benefit him.
If he uses his cards right then Makaze will be fixed by her. At first, he doubted Shu Ru's friend will be able to fix Makaze but if this woman is as strong as Claud proclaims, there's a sliver of hope.
To him, the most important thing right now is fixing Makaze because, without his blade, he'll not be able to face what's about to come. In fact, the sooner the dark blade is fixed, the better it is for him.
Lucy, who was beside Arthur, also saw the appraisal but still kept calm. A frown momentarily appeared on her face before vanishing, what made her confused is the interest Losha had for her.
They don't even know each other and she didn't do anything suspicious or special so why would she grab the blacksmith's attention.
”Hi, Aunty!”
Shu Ru walked up to the seated woman and grabbed her heads, shaking them happily. In response, the woman smiled back at Shu Ru and spoke with a pleasant voice
”Little Ru, aren't you going to introduce me to your friends?”
It was only at this time that she directed her gaze toward the couple. She had long black hair and yellowish pupils. Her beauty was exceptional and what made her more stunning is her tanned skin.
”A-ah! Yes! They are friends I met in the Wicked Forest.”
The smile on Losha's face widened as she heard that. She didn't say a word as Arthur and Lucy introduced themselves.
She didn't seem to give too much attention to Arthur despite knowing that he's also a reincarnator.
”Greetings, I am Arthur MoonStar.”
”I am his wife, Lucy MoonStar.”
The two politely bowed then waited for the woman talk. Unfortunately, the blacksmith didn't talk which made it awkward, especially for Shu Ru, who brought them here.
She thought that Losha didn't like having them here so she decided to quickly tell her about why they're here. Shu Ru was about to start talking when Losha, at last, spoke
”Did you get what you need from the Wicked Forest? If not, I can accompany you there.”
Hearing this, Shu Ru softly smiled and called out the Yin Beast, which became extremely small. This was its spiritual form as summoning its real body in this crowded place isn't convenient.
”Oh? A High Sovereign... I assume they helped you subdue it?”
Losha obviously meant Lucy and Arthur, who remained silent. Shu Ru nodded her head in confirmation and explained a few things but didn't divulge everything she saw, especially the jaw-dropping power they displayed.
”It's been a very long time since I saw a Pure Yin Physique.”
This statement startled the couple, who warily stared at Losha, waiting to see what she's about to do.
'She doesn't seem hostile but prepare yourself just in case.'
Using [Telepathy], Arthur warned Lucy and urged her to prepare for the worst. They can't gauge Losha's power but if they were to go all out, they have the confidence to escape from the city.
”What about the book?”
This time, Losha's question was directed toward the couple. In response, Arthur raised his left hand, which started glowing with a holy light until a white book appeared.
This phenomenon caused Losha to frown and ponder for a few seconds. After some time, she waved her hand nonchalantly and said:
”Well, whatever.”
No one knew if she was speaking to them or to herself. Shu Ru, who started fidgeting as she didn't know what to do, finally talked
”Actually, I've brought them here because they need help.”
”Hm?”
Losha tilted her head in confusion then said
”Are you talking about that dark katana? It's been eyeing me maliciously since earlier, just like its master.”
”I wouldn't dare.”
Arthur immediately replied but it didn't seem like his words held much value in her eyes as she ignored him and focused her attention on Makaze, who trembled intensely, not from fear but from anger.
Surprisingly, Makaze was very hostile to her for some unknown reason.
Even Losha was curious about this and wanted to know why is an inanimate object angry at her. The reason was finally shown when a sheathed sword that was hanging on Losha's waist, started showing an intense reaction.
'Oh? For Grail to react like this...'
Losha's interest reached its peak once her beloved sword was showing signs of fear, for the first time ever.
