The two swords flew around Zhang Che at high speed, circling non-stop.
Also, the information they sent to Zhang Che via the golden vortex was becoming clearer and clearer.
“What? You discovered something delicious?”
Zhang Che’s eyes widened when he understood the situation.
-You guys are freaking swords! Swords! Do swords even need to eat?-
Zhang Che felt like his comprehension of things was flipped upside down.
Animals needing to eat food was nothing strange. Exotic beasts turning into beast cards after their deaths and them being able to eat food after appearing in their original form was also understandable.
But, since when did objects like freaking swords have to eat?
Zhang Che was a hundred percent certain the two swords were pure, unadulterated weapons, and not beast cards or whatever unusual exotic beast types.
All of a sudden, Zhang Che recalled that devilish face he met in the secret plane said. He said something like the two swords were Spiritual Sword fragments..?
Spiritual Swords! Gods knew how “spiritual” they were. Now, Zhang Che finally witnessed their uniqueness for the first time.
-Could it be that the two swords can devour other objects to advance themselves? Or perhaps self-regenerate?-
Thinking of that, Zhang Che’s eyes immediately lit up.
He pondered for a short while. With a change of thought, the golden vortex in his spiritual sea suddenly shone, instantly revoking Zhang Che’s control over the two swords.
In the next moment, the scarlet and white swords suddenly turned into two streaks of light and flew straight into the pile of rubble in front of Zhang Che.
“As expected…” Zhang Che nodded. Those two were really treating the ferocious beast’s skeleton as food!
The problem was, with their “fangs”, could they chew through the ferocious beast’s skeleton?
In the past, Zhang Che had tried using the Scarlet Meteorite Huge Sword to cut through it with its skill activated, but was unable to leave a scratch on it at all. Physical attacks below divine-quality wouldn’t able to leave a mark.
Zhang Che immediately grew interested. He hurriedly directed the Purple Crystal Tortoise to clear the rubble. Afterwards, he saw the two swords had turned into two streaks of light and flown into the gaps of the skeleton, disappearing from his sight.
This is… they were trying to chew through it from within!
The Purple Crystal Tortoise continued clearing the rubble away. Meanwhile, Zhang Che moved a large rock over and sat on it, observing the changes happening on the skeleton silently.
However, as time slowly passed by the minute and seconds, Zhang Che didn’t see any changes after a few minutes.
-Heh, you can’t chew through it, can you?- Zhang Che shook his head. He didn’t know what those two swords were doing inside. The skeleton was obviously not something they could chew through. Why did they even bother?
-Hmm? Not right!- Zhang Che suddenly sat up straight, staring straight at the ferocious beast’s skeleton.
The skeleton, which was originally had a gentle jade-like luster to it, suddenly started to dull in color. Its luster had faded by quite a bit.
-Could it be that the swords are absorbing a certain substance in the skeleton?-
Harboring such a guess, Zhang Che stared at the skeleton without blinking, afraid of missing whatever unknown changes.
Indeed, as time passed, the luster on the skeleton grew fainter and fainter. In the end, it completely disappeared.
Looking at it once more, the ferocious beast’s skeleton was no different from ordinary exotic beasts’ bones.
Zhang Che guessed that if he used the Scarlet Meteorite Huge Sword to slash at the ferocious beast’s skeleton right now, he would easily leave a deep cut on the skeleton.
Before he could experiment to see if his estimation was true, the skeleton suddenly exploded with a loud boom. It collapsed, turning into a pile of countless bone shards.
“They, they ate it all up so quickly!”
After the skeleton collapsed, Zhang Che saw the two streaks of light flying back to him cheerfully. They turned back into swords, silently hovering in front of him, expressing their extreme happiness to him.
Zhang Che looked closely at the two swords. He didn’t know if he was imagining things, but he realized the quality of the swords seemed to have changed completely. Although the shine on the swords were no longer as sharp as before, there was a certain ferocity concealed within.
“God knows how much your sharpness has increased…” Zhang Che mumbled, looking at them. “Can you easily pierce through legend-quality exotic beasts?”
The two swords didn’t answer him… They couldn’t speak! How were they supposed to answer!?
Therefore, a ray of light shot out from between Zhang Che’s brow. The Darkfiend Abyssal Dragon had an undying body of abyssal cold, and was made a guinea pig by Zhang Che once again.
The Darkfiend Abyssal Dragon had a hurt expression on his face:* -Why is it me every time?-*
Zhang Che chuckled, “Who told you to be vulnerable to only innate fire elemental attacks?”
The Darkfiend Abyssal Dragon was immediately at a loss for words. His slim body swayed in the air, -Come on, I’m used to it anyway…-
Zhang Che immediately shifted his gaze onto the two swords floating in the sky. At his will, they were called into his spiritual sea, allowing the golden vortex to take control of them again.
In the next moment, the scarlet sword flew out once more, slashing the Darkfiend Abyssal Dragon’s tail at lightning speed, producing a soft noise.
Zhang Che’s jaw immediately dropped, unable to close it.
The Darkfiend Abyssal Dragon let out a low groan in fright. A whole section of his tail was cut off by the scarlet sword, falling to the ground.
Not only that, Zhang Che saw a faint layer of scarlet glow on the Darkfiend Abyssal Dragon where his tail was cut off, like maggots feeding on a corpse. No matter how much abyssal cold air the Darkfiend Abyssal Dragon gathered there, he was unable to dispel it.
The Darkfiend Abyssal Dragon nearly cried. He almost lost his balance after losing his tail and rushed up to Zhang Che. He looked at his master pitifully, tears seemed to be welling up in his sappire-like eyes.
“Tsk, it’s actually so powerful!”
Because the layer of scarlet light could not be purged, the Darkfiend Abyssal Dragon’s severed tail couldn’t reconnect to his body. If too much time passed, his tail might turn into abyssal cold air and disperse into the surroundings.
Although this fellow only had to return to Zhang Che’s spiritual sea to regenerate a new tail with the help of the rainbow crystal’s energy, he still hoped to reconnect with the current severed portion.
-Could it be that this scarlet glow is an innate fire element?- Zhang Che immediately thought of this. A wave of joy quickly came over him.
It had both sharpness and innate fire elements! The scarlet sword had truly reborn anew!
-Then, can it injure epic-quality exotic beasts? Putting high-tier epic-quality beasts aside, mid-tier epic-quality beasts must be unable to withstand such a powerful weapon, right?-
“Great! With that, I’m much more confident in hunting that giant stone man!”
Zhang Che’s eyes narrowed in joy. However, he didn’t forget to have the scarlet sword retract the innate fire elements on both sections of the Darkfiend Abyssal Dragon’s tail.
Once the parasitic innate fire elements were retracted, the Darkfiend Abyssal Dragon immediately let out a long sigh of relief. The severed section of tail rose in the air, connecting itself back onto his wound. Afterwards, a concentrated deep blue abyssal cold aura gushed out madly.
Not even a minute later, the Darkfiend Abyssal Dragon became lively again.
However, his gaze towards the scarlet sword hovering in front of Zhang Che was filled with fear, afraid that it would cut him again.
-Bitch, that hurt like hell…-
