59 Treasure Sword Autumn Saver and the Immortal Heiress (2/2)

Jodye tried to use his soul force to establish a telepathic link with the sword. He knew that the sword was open to communicating since his divine sense faced no resistance upon entering the sword. A drowsy voice that gave Jodye an ancient and lofty feeling appeared in his mind.

”So young… but such a vibrant… soul… and life force… are you truly… a hero? No… but this is the dao of the heavenly slaughter race?... Is it not... Strange. How…?” said the voice in a low drawl, pausing frequently. Its pitch was everywhere, at times it was low while at times it was high.

”Is it not a bit rude to ask questions before introductions are done?” asked Jodye Trill, slightly annoyed.

”You're source spirit…is like a disordered flame. It is…a wonder that you are even… conscious. Do you even… remember… yourself?” said the voice of the Autumn Saver. The more it spoke, the clearer its voice became, although it continued its strange speech pattern. Likely it had not spoken for a very long time.”As for my name, it was the first thing you heard when I appeared.”

”This…” Jodye Trill had never imagined that Autumn Saver would be capable of seeing through him to such an extent. He realized that although this sword wasn't hostile towards him, it definitely was not at a disadvantage.

The soul of this treasured sword was powerful!

Jodye chose to be transparent as he was already being seen through, ”Indeed, my memories are broken. I'm not sure what happened.”

”How curious. As a Sage, shouldn't your source artifacts be able to help you stabilize your source spirit?” asked the ancient voice of Autumn Saver.

”Sage? Am I a sage?” Jodye Trill was dumbstruck. Of course! As a hero with concepts programmed into his mind, how could he be anything but a sage? He felt utterly stupid for not utilizing this fact. With one less worry, Jodye got down to the real questions, ”So there was this route all along, haha, excellent indeed. Perhaps the truth is close at hand. Tell me, my friend, why is it that you chose Dessa as your companion? Is there something special about the girl?”

Jodye could feel positive feelings flooding over from their telepathic link after he used the phrase ”my friend,” apparently this ancient treasure had truly been too lonely. The treasured sword was quiet for around a minute, before speaking to Jodye in a much more steady voice and tone, ”I was once the Godly Armament of the legendary immortal sage, Autumn Rose. We traveled the vast cosmos together, until the day she sacrificed her life for love.”

Jodye could clearly sense a strong vibe of malice when Autumn Saver mentioned sacrificing for love, making the former a little tense. Jodye suddenly had a bad premonition as the sword continued, ”This child has an aura that is 70% similar to my previous master… as well as my master's hollow souls. This allowed me... to imprint my treasured seal on her source spirit. We are now one, and in the future, I will become her godly armament.”

'How lucky,' thought Jodye Trill. No matter what, suddenly being gifted a divine class weapon and inheritance, what kind of great luck and destiny did Dessa have on her frail shoulders? Had her karmic wheel completed a cycle, making her dharma evolve? Was her last life so full of strife? Of course, if her last life was truly that of an immortal, then perhaps so. To Jodye's complete joy, the feeling of malice soon vanished.

”My master's famous combat soul...was actually a lucky chance. However, this child is born with such a soul. Her potential is...endless. I was wary of such an… emotion taking root in this new host… however, you are so young. Your bravery should not be… a facade,” said the voice of Autumn Saver. ”I will pass you a Worldly Saint Scripture. Dessa is… blessed. Your soul fluctuations are… similar to her own. I hope that you… will help Dessa to become… strong… sooner…”

As the sword's words ended, a stream of information invaded Jodye's mind, before his divine sense was ejected from Autumn Saver's mental space. Jodye's tense face finally eased into a slight smile, causing the nervous wreck that had been Dessa to suddenly relax. She was beginning to fear that the young master had found a problem with her sword.

Jodye Trill's face turned solemn as he stared into the dark horizon. The ocean of stars over the wastelands gave him a harmonious feeling. Dessa Chimes admired her Autumn Saver behind him, while she watched as he pondered deeply in silence for a few breaths of time. Jodye Trill was currently reconsidering what he would teach Dessa. According to the treasure sword, Autumn Saver, she had far more potential than he had initially assumed. It was maybe more magnificent than even his own!

Jodye also had to figure out how he could activate his source artifact. However, he had a strong feeling that he would be able to as soon as the energy requirements were met. Jodye had always been aware that his body didn't feel to be in its peak condition. Unfortunately, as he was still unfamiliar with the hero body, he could only move forward until he found the time and space to study.

Jodye turned around and looked Dessa in her azure eyes, suddenly having a crazy idea for the second time. Except for this time, there was a floating treasure sword that made so many things more possible.

”Dessa Chimes, would you like to become this Sovereign's Right-Hand?”
