...
The corners of Kai's mouth twitched unwittingly.
Condescending semi-living Characteristic... the three words rolled in his head repeatedly. This Blood Mutiny is nothing but trouble, too.
What if I am dwindling on the brink of death, and it consus 5 HP? Damn! Other than that, though... It lives up to the na of Nad Items.
"Cough!" Rintaro cleared his throat, an unquenchable curiosity drying his throat.
A blank paper flew over to the Item's top, and Kai projected the Stats on it.
Both Petyr and the insane scientist leaned over it, their heads almost bashing into each other.
A sly chuckle escaped Petyr suddenly, and even Rintaro burst out with a peal of laughter.
"Try it, my lord," Petyr suggested, lifting the Hat, his fingers running over its brim. "Quite a... unique Item."
The mocking tone couldn't have been more evident in Petyr's voice.
But Kai was no less a curious one than Rintaro, his eyes already narrowing at the Item. He snatched the Hat from Petyr and put it on his head.
The sight of a navy blue, round hat over Kai's headful of silky white hair... just didn't suit each other.
It was then the Hat trembled, and a mouth-like crease appeared on its round portion.
"Humph!" the Hat snorted. "Captain Barbossa could have put self over his head more properly."
Kai: "..."
"Hahaha!" Rintaro couldn't hold it in any longer.
Laughing, clenching his stomach, he fell into the chair, a hint of tears glinting in the corners of his eyes. "This... is the best Item, Mr. Storm. Let try it."
Kai was gobsmacked.
How could he have ever known that even such a thing was possible?
Helpless, Kai was about to take the Hat off his head when he drew a sharp breath. It was as if soone had stabbed him in the back, making him gasp.
Kai's HP bar flashed, and 5 points vanished from it instantly.
Damn, fucker! Now thoroughly enraged, Kai slamd the Hat on the table, cursing it inwardly. How shrewd? Sucked out my HP just when I was about to take it off...
Petyr let out a knowing, sly smile, realizing what must have happened for his lord to slam the Item.
Rintaro, however, gave no further look to Kai, almost instantly grabbing the Hat and throwing it on his head.
"Humph!" the Hat snorted again. "Captain Barbossa's hair slled better."
Rintaro's laugh died.
He gently took off the hat and put it on the table.
Both Kai and Petyr frowned at this, knowing not what was going on in the insane scientist's mind.
It was then Rintaro turned around and pulled out a wooden log from the hearth, its end blazing red with fire.
"It's better to burn the Hat, my lord," he mumbled, his eyes shining red against the fire. "Such cursed Items shouldn't exist."
"Fuck off!" Kai kicked Rintaro and put the Item back into his Inventory.
...
After so ti, Kai and his two Characters eyed the empty table once more.
Unlike before, the atmosphere had gained an ominous vibe.
Even the Dentors had stopped running after the Lethifold, hovering like four wraiths in one place.
Lilith's endless flutters had also died as if the very wind had vanished from the face of the earth.
Kai nodded to himself, and flicked his hand, taking another Item out of the Inventory.
And the world got drowned in purple!
"Hahaha!" a laugh, brimming with stupendous evil, bood into the library. "Ti to kill!"
What awaited the evil dragon, though, were three beings eying him with hard faces and greedy gazes.
It was the sentient sword, Sounga, the Top-level Rare-grade Nad Item!
During its transformation from Artifact to Item, Kai had fused his will into it, forcing it to beco a katana with a purple blade, with a small jewel embedded into the poml of its hilt.
It was this jewel that was letting out the evil purple glow.
And it was this jewel that represented the evil dragon spirit living in the sword.
Kai reached out and grabbed the katana's hilt, an evil feeling coursing through his very veins.
Sounga was longer than Murasa, he could tell. And, though Murasa was One-Cut-Killer, Kai couldn't help but admire the very existence of Sounga, the killing sword from hell.
As Kai marveled at the sword, his fingers caressing it, running up and down the blade, Sounga was already getting impatient.
The small, round jewel at the poml glowed with a purple light, and the evil dragon roared, "Oi, brat! This Dragon was taking a nap! A nap! If there's nothing to kill, don't take out!"
Sounga's roar entered from Kai's ear and left from another.
He ignored everything, forgot everything, and only one thing remained in his eyes.
The presence of a dull, gray light.
The more Kai looked at Sounga's Stats, the more his throat went dry, the tips of his fingers throbbed, and a smile flashed across his lips, becoming a demonic grin.
This is no sword, Kai thought, exulting in Sounga's Stats. This is... Power!
