As the sword-like weapon was slowly removed, the mysterious symbols on its surface began to leap and dance like mad. It looked as if countless fairies of silver thunder were dancing across it.
The silver lightning still crackled out of the sword. It was like there was a silver dragon now flying around the cavern.
Because the lightning was too strong, Han Sen had to fall back and away from the black kirinâs corpse. Even the blood kirin itself stumbled back.
The blood kirin was looking very excited. It kept retreating, but its eyes never left the black kirinâs body.
Little Silverâs lightning was growing to frightening strength. The hilt of the sword was firmly in the grip of its maw. It forced the sword completely out of the black kirinâs body.
The sword was only one and a half meters long, but its shape was very strange. The blade was split into three sections, and each of its points was sharp. It looked like an army spear.
As he watched the lightning springing from the blade, Han Sen could immediately tell that the weapon was profoundly special. It might have been a deified weapon.
Dong! Dong!
Little Silver leaped off of the black kirinâs back. It loosened its grip on the handle and let the silver sword clatter to the ground. Then Little Silver let its powerful lightning fox form dissipate.
Although Little Silver didnât seem to be injured, it did look exhausted.
Han Sen quickly picked up Little Silver and offered him one of the blood pears. Little Silver shook his head at the fruit and lay down on Han Senâs chest instead. It closed its eyes, looking very, very tired.
Upon seeing the silver sword come free of the dead creature, the blood kirin leaped towards the black kirinâs corpse with exuberant joy.
âWhat a sweet creature. All it wanted was for its mother to rest in peace. Itâs rare that I get to see something this touching.â Han Sen sighed.
The next second, Han Senâs eyes opened wide. The blood kirin ran over to the black kirinâs body and used its teeth to rip off a chunk. The blood kirin tore into the corpse, eating ravenously.
The blood kirin used its claws to tear the body apart, and viscera and gore flew everywhere as it feasted.
Han Sen froze for a while, his face growing a little pale. His initial assumpted seemed to have been very wrong. He didnât know anymore if the black kirin was indeed the blood kirinâs mother. If it was, the blood kirin really was a monster.
But that sort of made sense. The blood kirin was born from a dead body. It had spent its life consuming the White Bone Hellâs blood bone air. Its very existence had come from death and cruelty. Eating the corpse of its own mother to gain strength wasnât out of the realm of possibility.
It was still an incredibly heartless act, though.
Han Sen was planning to put Baoâer and Little Silver back inside Destinyâs Tower. If the blood kirin went mad after consuming the black kirin, they would have to run.
Before he could grab her, Baoâer ran over to the silver sword. She reached her hand out to grab it before Han Sen could shout a warning.
When Baoâerâs came down upon it, the blade no longer released that silver lightning. Baoâer dragged the sword back over to Han Sen.
âDad! This sword is awesome. We should take it with us.â Baoâer held the sword out to Han Sen as she spoke.
Han Sen didnât dare take the sword, though. Just because Baoâer hadnât been electrified, that didnât guarantee that Han Sen wouldnât get shocked.
âDonât be afraid, Dad! It is fine now. The blade isnât dangerous anymore.â Baoâer winked.
âPfft, why would Dad be afraid? Iâm not scared; Iâm just cautious. This is the behavior of a mature man.â Han Sen blushed. He reached out to take the silver sword.
Just as Baoâer had told him, the sword didnât crackle with lightning when he touched it. It really did behave like an ordinary weapon now.
âWeird. Why has the sword become normal after leaving the black kirinâs body?â Han Sen looked at the blood kirin still gorging on the black kirin. He then thought of something. âMaybe the black kirinâs body triggered the power of the sword? Maybe that is why it remained active. The electricity kept the blood kirin from eating the black kirin. It had to have the sword removed first.â
Han Sen didnât know if his guesses were correct, but it didnât matter anymore. Han Sen went to check out the sword. The symbols of thunder across it were delightful to see. They made the sword look absolutely beautiful. It didnât even look like a weapon; it looked like an art-piece wrought in silver.
After witnessing its power, Han Sen agreed with Baoâer. He couldnât tell what level it was, but he was fairly sure that it had to be a deified weapon.
When he looked at the blade more closely, he noticed that a few words were engraved on the back of the sword. He was able to read them. It was of the common language in the geno universe, and it said, âThunder God Spike.â
âI think that must be its real name.â Han Sen raised the weapon carefully in front of him. He tried to put his own power into the Thunder God Spike, in order to trigger the weaponâs power. Unfortunately, he could not get it to work.
No matter what power or skill he used, nothing could trigger the lightning of the Thunder God Spike.
Han Sen decided to use the Dongxuan Sutra to simulate Little Silverâs lightning power, then he focused that power on the Thunder God Spike. The lightning symbols of the Thunder God Spike began to move. They were like silver snakes running up and down the blade.
But Han Senâs Dongxuan Sutra was merely Marquise class, so the lightning power he could simulate wouldnât be that strong. Only a small amount of the Thunder God Spikeâs power was summoned, but even so, it was already very strong. It was stronger than if Han Sen used all of his power with Jadeskin.
âThis thing is definitely a deified weapon!â Han Sen felt so happy. The Thunder God Spike didnât hurt him when he activated it, either. That meant he could use the weapon in combat.
Han Sen put the Thunder God Spike into Destinyâs Tower, and thankfully, it didnât resist like the Jade Drum had. The Jade Drum was a living creature, but the Thunder God Spike was just a weapon.
Han Sen was very lucky to have found the weapon, but it would be dangerous for him to carry a deified treasure in plain view. Unless it was direly necessary, Han Sen planned to keep the weapon hidden from anyone who might want to steal it.
Han Sen put Baoâer and Little Silver back into Destinyâs Tower. The blood kirin was still eating the black kirinâs body. It was a small creature, but its stomach was large. The black kirinâs body was like a mountain, but a big chunk of it had already disappeared.
The blood kirin ate its fill and grunted in satisfaction. Then it moved back and made a rumbling noise to get Han Senâs attention. It tossed its head at the black kirinâs body, as if it was inviting Han Sen to eat.
âItâs fine. You can eat it.â Han Sen shook his head. His body was already filled with unprocessed Ghost Bone power, so it didnât matter what he ate right now.
But the blood kirinâs invitation was still reassuring. The beast didnât seem like it was ever going to be hostile to him.
