13 Cursed Weapon (2/2)

In the beginning, he started covering Dusk like a veil to wrap around his hands, only to have it a crude shape so he imaged it going smaller and tighter, like it it was being pulled in one end, but it was ineffective.

He tried it like forming like string only to end up to be very brittle.

He tried imaging Dusk into other forms like a gauntlet, a shield, or a sword, ironically Dusk had formed into a weapon, albeit crude a weapon nonetheless.

Then a thought of inspiration started entering his mind, if he cannot perfectly form Dusk to his hands, but he can make him latch on to him after he can transform.

He immediately tried transforming Dusk into string again, only this time he hand them wrap around each other, to form a separate layer.

When he was working with heavy equipment his hands were always sore from carrying with his hands, despite wearing gloves his hands still felt the burns, so to lessen the pain he bought sports tape to relieve some of the pain, so he used that as a reference.

Though the process took most of his time he was able to cover his hands, he then used some to cover his eyes just in case.

*BING!*

[Mimicry has reached to 100%, Mimicry has leveled up to level 2, all transformation will increase in speed and have a stronger binding.]

[Essence Reader has reached to 100%, Essence Reader had leveled up to level 2, range and radius will increase.]

[Invisibility has reached to 100%, Invisibility had leveled up to level 2, time will increase to 10 minutes and increase in obscuring presence.]

[Poltergeist has reached to 100%, Poltergeist had leveled up to level 2, the following abilities will be gained:

* Increase in body density

* Increase in intelligence

* Increase in size]

A list of notification started appearing, Mimic, Essence Reader, Invisibility and Poltergeist have all leveled up to level 2, so their effectiveness had increased.

Poltergeist had gained three abilities with their own use.

Increase body density will have Dusk who was hollow have more material to work with, increase in intelligence can help him in leveling up faster, for increase in size Dusk would be more terrifying, if he was already a monster know he would be unstoppable in the future.

With all the notification disappeared, he focused again on the wall and started digging, it was harder for him to dig not because it was dark and cramped. It was because he had to concentrate, as to not have his hands crush under the constricting feeling.

After about five hours or so, it had been midnight, though he was underground so he wasn't sure so he had to use his biological clock to measure it roughly, but he was getting fro sure.

When he first found it, it was only a small portion, as he got closer the whispers started getting louder and more voices started entering in his mind.

Unknown to Stigma, he had dug about 50 meter away from his original position going down, so was going deeper since the whisper was leading him somewhere.

'How long am I going to dig like this, its been hours since I started and I feel like I'm going nowhere!!??!?!'

Stigma was exhausted, digging for hours would have at least let him find the ending, with the continuous nagging of the whispers was starting to get a headache, from time to time he would use 'Soul Eater to recover his exhaustion but it followed it even more voices so he was only doing it when he had no choice', from time to time, he was able to find some shiny ores and rocks, so he kept them for simple reasons.

Thump, thump, thump, Crack!

Huh? What was that? Stigma struck something metallic for the first time, when he moved his hand he saw a handle made of black steel and he was hearing screams, when he used 'Essence Reader' he found the source of all the 'Grudge Energy.

After practicing with Dusk's mimicry, he was able freely transform him like it was an extension to his limbs.

With a stretch of his hand, he focused his attention on the handle and started wrapping around it, he was practicing with grasping with rocks, to light the grip will fall apart, to strong then the rock would immediately be crushed.

After crushing about two thousand or so rocks, he was able to do it naturally as grasping his hand.

While he was at it, he was able to grasp the size , and the handle was actually from a sword. Not just a normal sword it was a broadsword about a meter and a half long.

He was holding the sword via Dusk, but the sword was emanating a force of beating heart, unlike before it sounded like echoes, this in front of him was not a normal weapon, it was alive.

”Are you worthy, to be my master?”

A voice suddenly came from nowhere.

”Are you worthy, to be my master?”

Stigma was looking at where the source, and it was coming from where he was holding his hand.

”I shall repeat, are you worthy, to be my master?”

It repeated the question of confirmation. But instead of an answer.

'The weapon was alive!!!'

It was given a shocking yell that echoed throughout the tunnel he dug up.
