"Yeah."
The black-haired youth said, "What? You want to collect it too?"
Elaphia replied, "We already have the ’Shocking Divine Soul Light.’
A Xiang raised an eyebrow, his eyes darting between Blondie Douding and Li Ang: "You said ’we’?"
"Ahem." Douding maintained a calm expression: "We acquired this sword together."
"Just take it as that." A Xiang shrugged: "I don’t mind at all, I’m only using it because it’s a Treasure Artifact. My group has only six Treasure Artifacts in total."
"If you like, take another Treasure Artifact, not a bad one, and exchange it directly."
Li Ang and Elaphia exchanged a glance, not expecting the straightforward terms, lacking any difficulty.
Just exchanging a Treasure Artifact...there aren’t that many obtainable Treasure Artifacts in this world.
Elaphia said, "If we manage to gather all but this one, I’ll use my current Treasure Artifact to exchange."
"We’ll see."
If she uses a Treasure Artifact to exchange, whether it’s the Golden Ghost-faced Hamr or the Fla Demon Chain Blade Claw, it’s a bit of a loss, because Bone-Deep Passion and Scorn isn’t that strong.
Li Ang had just taken a close look at the sword’s details.
[Bone-Deep Passion and Scorn]
[The Divine Artisan’s Five Swords are the last five forging works of Master of Forging, Ernest. Each one showcases extraordinary power and the master’s unmatched skill. "Bone-Deep Passion and Scorn" was birthed after Ernest’s first major setback in life. His beloved, who held his soul, beca infatuated with another, yet clung to the glory and wealth he brought, wavering among many. For the first ti, the master experienced the pain of longing and inability to let go. This sword represents his instinct-level forging skills, along with the soul-devouring love and scorn.]
[Tier: 8]
[Category: Short Sword]
[Energy Source: Ice-cold Gaze of the Nether Crow, Poison Dragon’s Undying Heart]
[Attack Enhancent: Imposes freezing and corrosion upon attack]
[Equipnt Skills: Accumulated Corrosion [Concept], Ice Protection]
[Formal Liberation: Heartbind Bladewhip]
This sword was crafted by Ernest as his second sword after the Passionate Talent, with significantly less power compared to the Shocking Divine Soul Light, let alone Elaphia’s selected three Treasure Artifacts.
Its transformation only makes it more advantageous for exhibiting the corrosion effect, thus triggering that conceptual skill.
Compared to the Golden Palace Law of the Golden Staff in Sisyphus’s hand, this Accumulated Corrosion rely ensures continuous contact can apply deeper corrosion. Although over ti it becos significantly threatening, a strong person can easily avoid its attacks.
Rather striking is its dual traits of ice and poison energy source, making it quite useful for those needing these two Magic Tendencies.
Treasure Artifact...wonder if the Do Furnace Association has any clues, check after the Resolution Council ends. Li Ang thought.
Elaphia folded her arms and asked A Xiang, "What did Yusef want from you?"
"He wants to commission my team for a task, that’s all."
A Xiang raised his hand in surrender: "I just stopped it to avoid any awkward situations, don’t think I’m his advisor. I’m most afraid of getting tangled with these people dealing sches every day, it’s unbearable for ."
Upon hearing this, Blondie Douding nodded.
As the topic settled, a beam of firelight shot straight towards the Council Tower from a distance.
All three council mbers present sighed.
"What’s wrong?" Li Ang asked.
Elaphia said, "Captain Farina’s group, that big fellow of a small fry, I’ve told them so many tis not to co around like this, it’s useless."
The firelight quickly arrived outside the open Council Hall, and as the glow dissipated, it revealed a man of the Horned Race stepping on a Flying Shuttle.
This Flying Shuttle itself is a High Tier Treasure, but he used it as a small Flying Airship.
Originally watching the flying object with wide eyes of pale gold, Andasu lost interest once seeing it was a weapon.
"Hey, Sisyphus, open the wind barrier!"
This man’s voice was so incredibly loud, even if the wind barrier blocked the gale attempting to blow into the Council Hall, there was still so noise. In theory, his shouting outside shouldn’t be heard inside, yet the council mbers and Li Ang by the wind barrier heard him clearly.
The man’s muscular build threatened to burst his shirt and trousers, evidently attire he changed into for the eting, ill-fitting.
Li Ang had seen him from afar in the Holy City for years but never had close contact. Now, even while he was flying outside the tower, Li Ang had already determined that this man’s physique far surpassed that of the Platinum King.
He stood out due to his pair of ram-like spiral horns next to his head, ticulously polished and perforated, indicating he usually wore many horn-adorned Equipnt, though removed them for now.
This person’s na is Balbanus Solis, the leader of the Banquet of the Gods, who claims to be the strongest man in Nebis, ranking fourteenth in personal rit. He claims the reason for his ranking is because leading the group delayed his advancent, otherwise, he’d be number one already.
Although it’s hard to say if he could be number one, he definitely counts as one of the strongest in Nebis now.
Li Ang acknowledges him, because he is a pure Warrior, with no advanced Profession or special Profession, just a Warrior. All his strength cos from relentless refinent, and he is a battle maniac.
"Enter from below," Sisyphus said to Balbanus.
"Eh, stop being so uptight, let in!"
Sisyphus smiled and said, "Last ti I said that was the final warning. If you co this way again, I definitely won’t let you in."
"Where’s Farina? Co help your leader blast this wind barrier open!" Balbanus yelled.
His rugged face with brown eyes scanned the Council Hall, stopping briefly on Alulu, but he didn’t find a trace of Farina.
"She has sothing urgent and couldn’t make it."
"Wasn’t the eting called because she got involved? How co she can’t co?"
After a complaint, the Niu Nan Warrior asked, "Who are you?"
"My na is Li Ang, I’m a witch, usually serving as team support."
"Ah, so we do have soone like you. The strategist wanted to recruit you before; you have a strong beneficial spell, don’t you?"
"Yes."
"Use it on , quickly, I want to see if it’s as amazing as that Blondie Douding makes it out to be."
In the high-altitude fierce winds, the Niu Nan spread his muscular arms towards Li Ang.
"Now?"
"Yes."
"Stop ssing around, get down and take the elevator up, you musclebound fish!" Aira scolded with a frown.
A Xiang watched the cody unfold with his head propped up by his hand.
Li Ang looked at the council mbers and said, "It’s better to co up properly; if I augnt you like this, everyone will be angry."
"Okay, okay, fine!"
The Niu Nan grumbled as he descended to take the elevator from below the Council Tower.
From a distance, the patrol Order Knights, who had been tense, breathed a sigh of relief.
"That fool, always breaking rules and loving etings," Aira said.
"Haha, after all, everything the Knight Resolution Council discusses is important. The more they love excitent, the more they want to co," A Xiang laughed.
When Balbanus’s booming voice was heard again, he was accompanied by three other figures.
Seeing this, Sisyphus said, "The attending council mbers and invitees have all arrived, please take your seats."
The four arrived together, walking as if they brought a gust of wind.
This was not due to a visual impression or an internal perspective, but because their powerful spirituality unconsciously stirred Magic Power, causing magic turbulence due to differences in spirituality.
Anyone who could sense Magic Power would feel this wind.
Besides Balbanus at the forefront, the others to arrive were ranked as follows: fifth, "Demon Lord" Virgil; sixth, "Brilliant Fist" Olivia; and eighth, "Heart-slaying Swordmaster" Otto.
These three were only known to Li Ang by na until Aira, who was beside him, introduced who they were.
Unlike the talkative Balbanus, the rest of them didn’t agree with the Niu Nan asking Li Ang for a beneficial spell and forced him into a seat to start the eting.
The nearly three-ter-tall burly man made the chair creak, but Sisyphus did not use Magic to enhance it. Although a High tier Warrior wouldn’t fall or could maintain a steady stance, Li Ang felt that the Speaker might want to see Balbanus make a fool of himself.
"Alright, thank you all for coming. This sudden Knight Resolution Council was hastily called, but the matter is urgent and must be communicated to ensure the world’s peace."
Sisyphus put away his smile and said seriously, "Allow to tell a piece of history first."
The council mbers, including Balbanus, focused and listened intently.
"It’s the history before the Guild was established when the Sword King Esperada Sajia and his companions ended their adventures and were contemplating what to do next when they encountered a brand-new formidable enemy.
"Just like the Guild-published fairy tales state, this enemy was an Otherworldly Demon God known as the ’Crimson Demon.’
Sisyphus raised a Golden Staff, and a scroll slowly unfolded behind him.
"Now, you will be inford of the full story of the demons as the Guild understands it."
