Chapter 73: Growth Type Sword (2/2)

Without a second thought, he enabled his Breaking Limit state.

The sword was still once more like a powerless child held by a giant.

He even used Beliss's Blessings, which seemed to be available for Ameanum, which seemed to help with his carving techniques.

Of course, since his INT as Ameanum wasn't as high as in his NPC body, the boost wasn't as significant as usual but still helpful.

After an hour and a half since he began carving, he was finally finished as his blade was entirely out of the earth and kept still by him only since the carving was going all along the edge.

The moment he was finished, the blood on the blade dropped on the floor as gravity seemed actually to start working on it.

Ameanum swung the blade to get the rest of it away from the blade.

Then he had noticed that the carving he had worked on had disappeared, and there was just a slight painting of it that one could see under the right angle and light only.

He noticed his word to be somewhat lighter, and from the swings, he did with it, he could see miles of difference in its quality than before.

He checked, and it was finally considered Base Grade weapon.

Its power was still lacking compared to a Master Grade one, but it was an improvement.

Ameanum focused on remembering the number of Players and Monsters he had to kill for Rank up.

Counting the Players outside to Goblin Cave and today, he had killed a little less than 50 Players.

Calculating the monsters, he had to kill, and how much they seemed to help the blade, he was confident that they would count as killing enough players to reach number 50.

This meant that he needed to kill another 50 and more to evolve it at Master Rank, and most likely, there would be a limit at their level at some point.

But he wasn't planning to go around massacring Players without reason, as he had noticed something on the last few of his victims.

Their death particles were somewhat grey.

This meant they wouldn't be able to spawn for some time, and the death penalty would be heavier, but it wasn't as grey as Master Whip in the mine.

His weapon wasn't fighting anymore, so he put it back to its sheath and continued his way to the town.

”Name.”[???]

Ameanum stopped as he had heard this strange voice whispering at him.

”My name.”[????]

The voice didn't seem to come from a specific direction but from all over the place. Or so it felt sometimes when one was telepathically speaking at you.

Ameanum pulled his sword and brought it at a small distance from his face.

”Need my name.” [Sword]

Ameanum was excited at that moment as he seemed to have an active consciousness weapon, but he stayed focused and thought of a name.

”Sinhunter.”[Ameanum]

As he told the name, he decided to the sword, the painting of the carving lighted up for a split second, and then there was silence.

Ameanum waited for the sword to say something more, but as a couple of minutes of silence passed, he decided to be the one to speak.

”Hello there. Can you hear me?” [Ameanum]

It seemed like a stupid question to first ask someone, but in these types of situations of encountering something unknown, Ameanum's mind was too excited to think as usual.

”Me sleepy. Talk when time pass.”[Sinhunter]

Ameanum was disappointed by the response, but he didn't ask anything more.

He put the Sinhunterback to its sheath and finally got back in town to find Soryn.

Soryn had taken a new outfit, and this time his clothes were close to what a Chinese monk would wear, which fit with his bold head.

Since the architecture of the town was very real-world Asian-like, there were stores selling clothing fitting the theme.

Soryn didn't seem to be a fan of this style, but he said it was a gift from the store owner since she thought it would fit him.

He had bought an outfit similar to his old one but not of a fancy design.

It was looking like an outfit one martial artist would wear at the movies, although its primary color seemed to be green with some yellow details.

It was rare for Shingi to see an NPC going to buy new clothing for himself, but since some had programmed to act as realistic as possible, it wasn't unheard of one to do so.

He informed him that he had found a way out and that they would leave sometime before noon.

Soryn let him know that a strange beast was rumored to have appeared outside the town, but Shingi told him that they shouldn't worry about it.

So they decided to head and relax for the rest of the day.
