Chapter 1605: Devil Blade

Chapter 1605 -71: Devil Blade

Watching A Mu lick the purple crystal, Su Xiao worried that it might explode, but from the current situation, it seems the crystal has no chance of exploding. A Mu wasn’t biting it; it was licking. Who says A Mu has low intelligence? When it comes to food, A Mu’s intelligence clearly has a slight increase.

Ignoring A Mu for now, Su Xiao looked at Dragon Slash not far in front of him. At this moment, Dragon Slash was enveloped by a black-blue smoke, with beams of light shooting from all directions gathering on Dragon Slash, forming a diamond-shaped energy net wrapping Dragon Slash inside.

Bang!

A muffled sound came from within Dragon Slash—the Blade Demon energy was crashing inside Dragon Slash. Dragon Slash was now in a ‘overflow state’, unable to contain the Blade Demon energy.

This is a situation that Su Xiao had long foreseen, or rather, this is the process of Awakening of the Blade. He needs to strip away something from within Dragon Slash to make space for Blade Demon energy, allowing Dragon Slash to successfully seal the Blade Demon energy.

Currently, Su Xiao’s condition clearly doesn’t allow it; he just stripped Blade Demon energy from within his body and needs to rest for a moment.

Locking, stripping, sealing, awakening—these are the four steps to complete the Awakening of the Blade. Currently, the locking and stripping are completed; only sealing and awakening remain.

After resting for a while, Su Xiao glanced at the Consciousness Conduction Crystal below. Less than 400 grams were left in the 1000-gram consciousness conduction crystal in the slot, he must hurry.

With a bang, a metal pillar in the Blade Demon Sealing Device erupted, causing the black energy enveloping Dragon Slash to dim slightly, seemingly sensing this, the Blade Demon energy within Dragon Slash became more violent.

This sudden change shocked Su Xiao quite a bit. The Blade Demon Sealing Device had not been activated or maintained for at least a thousand years; it’s not impossible for this thing to explode now.

Sensing this, Su Xiao slightly struggled to sit up, glanced at his right hand, and shook his head. This arm is to wield a blade, it can’t afford any accidents.

Removing the King’s Arm Guard from his left arm, Su Xiao pressed his left hand onto Dragon Slash. Black light flared, and the Blue Steel Shadow energy in his body consumed at a rate of a hundred points per second.

Before his eyes, light and shadow flickered, vaguely, Su Xiao seemed to see a blurry figure—it was extremely vague, just a mass of mist.

The black light enveloped Su Xiao, and next to him, A Mu, who was licking the purple crystal, turned and fled. Its instinct warned it that if it didn’t escape the Ice Cave, it was certain to die, not even leaving a trace. As for the safety of its master? Don’t joke about it—the master of that black light was its owner.

As soon as A Mu escaped the Ice Cave, the black lights flashed momentarily, and everything touched by the black light disappeared, as if obliterated out of thin air.

The Ice Cave vanished, the biting cold wind roared in. Su Xiao lay on a flat icy surface, his left fingers twitched unconsciously, and prompts from Reincarnation Paradise appeared at the same time.

[Hunter has acquired a new ability: Dragon Shadow Flash.]

[Dragon Shadow Flash: Lv.MAX (Active Ability).]

Skill Effect: Break through the space barrier to move 12 meters, freely choose between 0 meters~12 meters.

Note: Dragon Shadow Flash (Active) has a cooldown time of 2 minutes.

Note: Dragon Shadow Flash (Active) requires consumption of 400 points of Blue Steel Shadow energy.

…

Indeed, Dragon Shadow Flash became Su Xiao’s own ability, no longer an attached ability of Dragon Slash, eliminating the prerequisite of ‘holding Dragon Slash’ for use. Now, even without holding Dragon Slash, he can freely use the Dragon Shadow Flash ability.

Don’t underestimate this seemingly ‘optional’ enhancement. Now, Su Xiao can use the Dragon Shadow Flash ability while deploying D·Assassin or Duke of Extinction, making his overall mobility undergo a substantial leap.

Moreover, Su Xiao can’t be holding Dragon Slash 24 hours a day. During an ambush, the instant he goes to grip his blade may very well decide life or death.

Aside from that, the consumption of Dragon Shadow Flash has also greatly decreased, but considering the usage interval, there’s not much that can be done unless Su Xiao uses Golden Skill Points to improve the Dragon Shadow Flash ability.

Dragon Shadow Flash became Su Xiao’s own ability; he had vaguely anticipated this outcome before. Based on the experience of Reed, the Forging Master, every piece of equipment can be likened to a bucket—the size of the bucket, or the grade of the equipment, and the water inside symbolize the abilities of the equipment.

The water a bucket can hold has a limit, and previously, Dragon Slash was already overflowing. The Dragon Shadow Flash ability occupied a large part, wanting Dragon Slash to integrate with Blade Demon energy requires freeing up some space.

Su Xiao merely glanced at the Dragon Shadow Flash ability before looking towards the slot where Dragon Slash was placed. Currently, the Blade Demon Sealing Device was emitting black smoke; it could be used again if repaired. Unfortunately, few races have the capability to repair such a thing.

Su Xiao had just thought to get up and pull out Dragon Slash from the slot when his action paused, and he raised his right arm.

Buzz~

Not far from him, Dragon Slash emitted a clear sound and flew towards Su Xiao without any warning.

With a slap, Su Xiao grasped the hilt of Dragon Slash. The feeling was… both familiar and unfamiliar.

As soon as Su Xiao gripped Dragon Slash, the black-blue smoke on the blade dissipated, and the blade flashed an orange glow—brief yet fleeting.

Trying to cleave with the blade’s edge, Su Xiao barely exerted force before the air cut producing a whimpering sound, as if it intended to sever the air.

Taking a deep breath, Su Xiao tried to check the attributes of Dragon Slash, the first thing that caught his eye was the wiped enhancement level.
