60 Le Chant de Roma (2/2)
”Hayst... Can't hurt.”
Then, as I was about to grab hold of the weapon's handle I can't help but think of what Amadea said to us earlier. If I remember correctly, the moment an individual obtains his first weapon, they will then be illegible for peril and I'm no different.
But, I think there's no use delaying it now. As much as Lacrimosa here has implicitly thought, it's better for us to start venturing to the pangs of danger, rather than to delay it even more, while those that are in the Mirage Armada are only getting more acquainted with actual combat. And I don't think that I'm the only one with this idea. Everyone in that 690 should already be feeling the need to get a hold of a weapon they can call their own... No matter the rarity.
I then took my first hold of the weapon. It was light and has quite the cool and legendary feel to it that I think even a kid could wield it without errors... and then, appeared in front of my field of vision its basic description with a three-dimensional representation of what the weapon looks like all inlaid in a futuristic platform of neon-green.

”There's also a rarity tier for weapons huh?” I asked.
”Per se, yes. There are 6 relic and item tiers; 1) Prevalent, 2) Rare, 3) Prototype, 4) Mythical, 5) Sacred, 6) Arcana, but if I were you, I would choose to ignore such minor details. It's only there to show the reputation of the weapon, they don't actually prove anything, unlike in your ARPG's and MMO's. There's this one time that I saw a prevalent relic holder defeated a Scared. Simply put, I think it's just there to show merchants the value of the relic...nothing more and nothing less.” Lacrimosa exclaimed.
So, as she said, it's very unlike video games. It does not show the damage or any of the attributes it incorporates. All it displays is a weapon's name and guess what? It even has rarity. Everything else from that, I think would be 'User-Dependent' meaning that no matter how cool it looks like, it depends on the dexterity of the user and the capacity of utilization to use it effectively and efficiently. And then, heeding the chanting instruction I proceeded...
”Le chant de Roma” I chanted, the same tone how Lacrimosa stated it before, and then in my hand, the dagger 'Grendel' became something else entirely. A 'Chakram' so to say... but, in their little monkey dreams. I would like to describe it more vividly... It's like the 'Mirror Wheel Eye' actually, also known as the 'Sharingan', but a large weapon which I think is long-ranged.
From its dagger, It suddenly became a circular blade, almost like the shuriken of old but relatively larger with three surrounding larger blades that took the form of number nines encrusted in a circle perfectly distanced from each other. I think the size is half of Shiro but it was light as ever. It maintained its colors of both black and crimson and at the diameter of the round weapon, the handle came to be.
”Nice isn't it? Hades did have a legendary blacksmith to do it from its interior.”
”Can't argue about that, but... Shiro, would you come down here for a moment?”
”Yes! Oni chama!” Shiro then signaled the Pegasus to let her down and it was so. I think Shiro has the innate capability to befriend mythical creatures at this point.
”Hmmm??? What are you planning now?” the goddess with an evil smirk on her face and cold eyes asked as if she knows what's running on my mind...
Then as the flying horse's heel touched the ground, so did Shiro, jumping out from the back of the befriended creature facing me with all curiosity of why I called her while her face expressed the unequivocal joy of her most recent joy ride around the nominal place.
”What is it oni-chama?” The little girl asks while being playfully cheerful around the Pegasus who she befriended.
