Chapter 229 - Dark Reaper (1/2)

While Evan and Roland were looting the vault of the Paper Hydrangea, four of the five strongest organizations were fighting in Inlas. War engulfed the entire city, and it even affected the fifth organization. No one could disturb Evan and Roland, all the contents of the Paper Hydrangea's vault now belonged to them.

Evan and Roland slowly went inside. They had never seen a vault filled with so much wealth before. This vault was not like a mountain of gold with various weapons, but it was a little different.

The vault was vast, with numerous weapon stands in the center. These were all Catalysts. Most of the weapons were first rank, but there were a few of the second rank. There was everything from shields to chains and from clubs to sharp swords.

Everything else: armor, artifacts, coins, treasure, jewels, medicine, and so on were in spatial rings.

They were in special boxes on shelves. There was an enormous amount of them, and Evan was going to take exactly half of them. Of course, Evan was tempted by the idea of taking all of them, but he didn't see much point in doing so. Half of all the treasures were more than enough. He didn't want to betray Roland and fight him. Roland was a man who showed himself to be a strong and honest companion. Such men were worth far more than the most valuable treasure.

Evan and Roland examined the various Catalysts and the contents of the sparial rings. They were arranged in compartments, so it was easy to see which ring had which things in it.

”Evan, I have a favor to ask of you.” Suddenly Roland said.

”What do you want?” Asked Evan.

”I want all the katanas that are here.”

”Well, I'm not going to fight with a katana anyway, at least not anytime soon.” Evan simply replied.

He knew that Roland's favorite weapon was katanas, and what's more, there weren't many here. Only three. Two first-ranked katanas and one second-ranked.

Evan was picking up his own weapons as well. His scythe was broken, and he wanted to see how Lucifer's Shackles would interact with the weapons. Evan's favorite weapon was the scythe. Unfortunately, it was an extremely uncommon weapon. There was only one scythe in the vault, of the first rank.

”Dark Reaper...” Mumbled Evan looking at the name of the scythe. The weapon looked very simple but deadly and elegant.

The scythe was entirely forged from a rare and durable dark metal. There were no patterns, drawings, or engravings on it, only the hilt and the incredibly sharp blade.

”It's worth trying this weapon out,” Evan muttered and took the Dark Reaper in his hands. The scythe was quite heavy, but Evan was strong enough to swing it without a problem.

Whooosh.

Evan's ”Warp” swirled, and the next moment there were many stripes on his arms. The tattoos slowly transitioned to a scythe, and to Evan's surprise, the weapon was fine.

<Great, my past weapons weren't strong enough, but this scythe can handle that kind of pressure.> Evan thought as he watched the tattoos cover the weapon entirely.

Evan felt the change immediately. The scythe became a little heavier but also much more powerful. He wanted to test the effect, and so he made a simple swing.

Whooosh.

The blade slammed into the floor and slammed easily into the dense stone. What's more, there were many cracks from the place of the cut, spreading all over the vault. This showed that the scythe was not only sharp but also mighty.
