Novel Full Chapter 110

Eleanora showed me a spear she had, this very spear had been growing stronger ever since I gave it to her and she bathed it in the blood of the demons we defeat as a daily basis, I still didn’t knew if it was completely the truth, but it really seemed that something like that was truly happening, the spear itself was evolving strangely.
It was the same way as Gluttony? Certainly not, it was acquiring a different nature than Gluttony. Every Cursed Weapon was always unique unless you mass produced them through a similar method, but whenever they surged naturally like Gluttony and Eleanora’s spear, they developed their own unique traits.
And they were often based in the wielder and their tendencies, Gluttony probably got these abilities because I am also a gluttonous entity from my previous life, I liked to devour and absorb the power of my enemies and constantly sought more power… I was often called the Gluttony King… although my name was Asmodeus, the same name as the Archdemon of Sloth, which doesn’t match, but whatever.
But what facet of Eleanora could had been transferred into her spear?
Looking at the spear closely, I noticed that the rock tip had now turned a bit metallic in luster, and more refined, it was also red-colored, the handle made of wood was reinforced as it seemed to have evolved into a cursed weapon fully by now.
The wood had turned completely black, and was incredibly sturdy, perhaps it would gain a metallic coverture as it evolved further. Cursed weapons were able to transform the energies they accumulated into materials to refine their own bodies automatically. It was a wondrous sight to behold when they evolved.
Cursed weapons are a strange type of undead-type monster, this is why they can evolve, and in this world, they even acquire the ability to level up. I wonder if there are other cursed weapons in this world… there should be, they had been with demons for way too long. There is no way that someone didn’t tried getting their weapons covered in blood or had killed a lot of demons using a weapon in specific for a long time…
Perhaps they’re not so common, but there should be people that has them here and there, or maybe they’re precious treasures of aristocratic families, perhaps.
However, the thing with cursed weapons is that they cannot be taken away by the wielder, if someone attempts to rob your cursed weapon, it will attack the robber and then fly back to you somehow, if not, it will end up destroying itself rather than being wielded by anyone else.
The only way for this to not happen is if the wielder dies and the cursed weapon is left without a wielder and master, in that case, they’re very picky and will seek a master similar to their original one, so they won’t take just anybody.
“Interesting, it has really become a Cursed Weapon…” I said. “Let me see check the status using the Grimoire…”
“Okay…” said Eleanora. She showed me the spear more closely as the Grimoire was able to show me the status of the weapon of my summon.

And there it was, Eleanora’s weapon looked interesting if not amazing. It had three Abilities and only one of them was in Gluttony, Accursed Wounds, the other two were completely original. Also, this weapon was named “Envy”. Did she renamed it herself?
“Eleanora, did you name the spear?” I asked.
“Yeah! I named it Envy. I also wanted to go with the same style of Sins as names for the weapon, like you did.” Said Eleanora. “Envy fits her because she seems envious of other living beings, so she slurps their souls.”
“I can see that. One of her Abilities is Soul Predation, she can absorb the souls of living beings and… Spirits. Wait, so it can absorb the spirit of a person, devour it? Does it means that the person won’t have a spirit anymore? Well, perhaps it can only be triggered if the person dies first…” I said. “Although it still seems strange, we would need to one day test it out if we ever find some bandit to torture.”
“Indeed, sounds like a good idea.” Said Eleanora. “I heard from the locals that a nearby village is being constantly threatened by a large group of bandits that dominate a hill.”
“Oh? Well, that will be left for later, let’s make sure to not forget about that.” I said. “For now… Let’s see… the other ability it has is Blood Absorption. It can store blood and unleash it in attacks. I think you’ve used this one as well, right?” I asked.
“Yes, the red-colored tip seems to be able to absorb the blood of the things I hit, by accumulating it, I can unleash a strong attack.” Said Eleanora. “It can help me utilize more complicated techniques.”
“I see… Your weapon seems to definitely have good potential, especially because it can devour souls and spirits, so it doesn’t conflict with my own spear that devours cores and orbs… It is a good match that doesn’t interrupt one another’s growth.” I said. “Keep using it, I am sure it will come very useful as time goes on.”
“I will… I am quite happy of it… It is my little spear, my friend…” said Eleanora. She smiled innocently as she caressed her lethal weapon, her smile quickly turned rather eerie, almost murderous… But that was also quite adorable.
