Chapter 414 - Worthy Or Not, I Will Still Have You!
The treasure room was very large, containing varieties of weapons that it was difficult to decide which one to choose from.
His eyes swept past the sword, axe and there was even a weapon that was shaped like a boat, making David ponder as to what should be used for.
Waves of medulla energy surged outwards, overlapping against each other therefore disrupting David's senses from observing which is which and which isn't.
He knew without absolute concentration, he would constantly be distracted by energy waves emitting from the weapons surging into his brain.
David squeezed his eyes shut but as his eyes were about to close, he caught sight of a rusty, dull and very large blade lying on the floor from the corner of his eyes, next to the rack of finely designed and powerful sword treasures, embedded with jewel with delicate thin lines running about the body.
Next to those fine weapons, the large rusty blade was just like a piece of scrap metal. The handle of the blade was almost half his size while the blade was more than three meters tall.
Shaking his head, he snapped himself out of it and began reciting the words, inhaling and exhaling according to the breathing pattern from the Supersensory manual.
His breathing undulated and his chest rose and fell as his brain wave was amplified to its highest degree.
But then, his concentration was disturbed as the image of the rusty large blade entered his mind. David frowned and then shook his head.
Starting the meditation again, medulla waves expanded from his brain and as he gradually began to sense the waves emitted from each weapon. But then, the image of the broad sword entered into his mind, disrupting his concentration.
"Dammit!" His eyes snapped open and he angrily kicked at the edge of the large rusty blade, trying to sweep it away from his sight.
Thud!
But contrary to his expectation, the weapon didn't move in the slightest and an intense vibration travelled up his legs stunning him in place.
Taken aback, David blinked his eye and then bent down carefully and held on to handle of the weapon up but he froze up.
"Uhn?" He couldn't lift it up and from David's observation, even an atom didn't seem to have shaken from his touch.
Although confused, it didn't affect him in the slightest. Sweeping his arm, his loose sleeves wrapped around his arms and his muscles bulged with views crawling around them.
Clenching his fist around the handle of the blade, he tried lifting the blade up for the second time.
But then there wasn't a single movement and it didn't appear to have actually moved a single bit.
"What the hell?" David's eyes were wide open in astonishment. He couldn't believe he still couldn't lift it up with the amount of strength his body was withholding.
Forgetting he had limited amount of time within the treasury, David whispered.
"First star."
His muscles undulated and skin rippled like waves but there was no obvious change in his body, but it was obvious his strength had doubled.
Grabbing the hilt with both hands, David pulled upwards. But much to his disappointment, there was no movement.
"This seem to be the legendary treasured weapon. According to the book, you have to be worthy enough to carry lift it. Without the approval from the weapon itself, its impossible to lift them." Hazel piped in.
David's pupils constricted. "So you mean to say there's an AI with similar level of intelligence as you installed within the weapon?"
"When did you get so smart." Hazel was genuinely taken aback as she heard David said this. She had only vaguely told hm but he was able to draw out the tru interpretation from her words.
"Interesting." Hazel muttered.
"Then you should be able to communicate with it and tell it to leave with me right?" David's eyes lit up at the thought of having a legendary weapon and although he had no idea how powerful it was, since it was a legendary weapon, it should be powerful enough right?
"I'm afraid that is simply impossible. The AI seem to have shut itself from communicating with the outside world, it's simply impossible to break through its defences to talk to it." Hazel explained regretfully.
"So you mean to say that the blade's AI is stronger than you?" David asked innocently.
Hazel paused for a few seconds and then replied. "Don't yet to goad me, it won't work. And that blade is barely a few centuries old there's no way it's stronger than me." Hazel scoffed.
"It's difficult to acquire this blade without its consent. Moreover, the base weight of the blade is roughly equivalent to that of a small mountain so it's not easy to obtain by force." she continued.
But then, David paused. After which, a smirk appeared on his face. Hazel never said it was impossible to obtain, she only said it would be difficult.
"It doesn't approve of me uhn? Let's see if after this, it wouldn't still approve of me." David muttered after which, two words escaped his lips.
"Third Star."
Boom!
The air in the treasure room began to grow heavy and the the solid ground gave out a slight creak.
Massive amount of energy fluctuated from his body as his muscles contorted and bulged but strangely enough, his body didn't balloon out like it had always done.
It was as though his body had gotten used to the technique and Third star was simply too weak to stretch out his body's potential.
Placing both his hands on the hilt of the blade, he stood firmly in place as he lifted.
Creak!
The blade moved, and the echo of a loud creak sounded out from within the treasure room. But David was only able to lift the hilt of the large blade up to his waist.
And as for the rest more than half of the blade, they sadly still remained resting in the ground.
David frowned as even third star wasn't powerful enough to still lift the whole damn blade.
"Guess I have no choice then."
"Fifth star!"
RUMBLE!
Visible shockwaves erupted from within his body as though two massive mountain had collided.
Wu! Wu! Wu!
The wind stirred, forming a large whirlpool around him as though he was the eye of the tornado. And even as all this was taking place, David's body was beginning to show signs of finally been stretched.
His body bulged up and his skin rumbled and oscillated, humming beautifully like a bee. Veins popped out from his skin like dark red webs, covering his skins like some sort of beautiful tattoo.
Finally, the blade gave out one last creak and it was finally being lifted off the ground. And even with the fifth star, he still found it difficult to lift the whole thing.
He wondered what star he would have to use in order to comfortably wield the blade.
Since the blade did no lt seek him worthy, it gave him no other choice. And although it's current state was no different from an ordinary weapon, its weight was already astonishing enough to be called a legendary weapon.
Just it's weight could kill someone, making it already overpowered, so David wasn't in the least but regretful.
BANG!
Dust rose up as his two legs sank a few centimetres into the ground when he placed the body of the blade on his shoulder.
With a smile, David walked out from the treasury while whistling a casual tone.
The guards outside the treasury had smiles on their faces, expecting to see the weak weapon David would have chosen. They had even placed a bet among each other with one stating that David would pick an ordinary item with no use at all while the other stated that David would at least pick up a weapon slightly worse than the flying blade granted to the servants.
As they were laughing, they suddenly began to hear a soft Boom sound that was becoming loud and gradual by the second.
Confused, they gazed at the entrance of the treasury to see what that was and when David came out, they were totally stunned and their jaw immediately dropped.
"W-what are you doing w-with that!?" One of the guards came to and hysterically shouted!
"Quickly go and drop it least you put yourself to trouble!" The other guards screamed in fear and astonishment.
"I have to thank you two seniors for your advice, without the both of you, I might have as well missed this wonderful weapon to begin with."
David smiled and then, with a wave of his arm, the silent whirling sound of his storage ring increased explosively.
Vroom!
In the blink of an eye, it's mouth expanded and David dropped the large blade inside without hesitation.
"W-what!?"
"D-don't try to slander us! We obviously didn't do anything!" The two guards seem to have reached their limit and looked as though they wanted to cry.
"No tears of joy seniors.. We are men so we should be able to endure it. So where the Weapons Register Book?"
