Sam stared at the black one-eyed sword. It was completely covered in black-colored fog.
It's a cursed weapon.
A cursed weapon is basically a weapon possessed by spirits, but it will be considered cursed when a person who nurtures a weapon spirit is unable to control and receive a weapon spirit that makes the weapon go astray and the cultivator spirit will be preyed upon by the weapon spirit if he forcefully tries use it even though it is not accepted by the weapon.
If it was only that then there was nothing to worry about, but the problem was that the cursed weapons that gained feelings would start nurturing themselves, they might nourish themselves with certain neutral spiritual energy elements.
And when it reaches a certain level, they will have a special movement attached.
This specialty was a great temptation for cultivators which made it very desirable. This would increase the attack power many times over. So, every expert wanted to try his luck with a cursed weapon.
But normal spirit weapons were themselves rare, let alone cursed weapons.
So, the attraction is too high.
Murali used this inducement as the final hurdle for the winner. If the winner's will was strong enough and he could overcome all the greed and obstacles he might face, he might have a chance to tame the sword.
The other candidates were watching the sword with brightly lit eyes. They came from various powers, but they heard about the cursed weapon and in particular this weapon, the Shadow Sword.
The cursed weapon that appeared in the history of this world repeatedly.
Everyone who uses this sword is a tyrant in their own time. They all stood above their comrades and ruled an era, but they were eventually defeated by the sword spirit.
Sam saw the aura this sword projected, he walked towards the platform slowly and held onto its hilt.
He could sense an unknown presence trying to hold his grip on the sword.
Spirit weapons had one thing in common, namely they were too arrogant and arrogant so there were some rules that they adhered to willingly.
Spirits will provide an opportunity to the user by competing with him in mental battles. It would even limit its level to the user level and compete fairly.
No one knows, how this came about, but these rules are strictly followed.
Another thing is, before gaining acceptance from the spirit, the weapon cannot be stored inside any storage device.
Basically, they could still teleport and move with the user. But they would not be susceptible to spatial transfers that might move them into a confined space.
Sam tried to move the sword into the god dimension, but this rule still applied to it and limited its movements.
Sam didn't think. Currently, spirits seem to be inactive and this may be related to where they are.
Sam took out a cloth made of Heaven Spirit silk and wrapped his blade inside as he hung his blade on his back.
As the candidates watched the scene, everything suddenly appeared, and before they even realized it, they reappeared in their respective cities where the tower existed before.
Sam and his friends reappear at the same place, where the tower used to be.
As soon as they appeared, they were a little surprised but soon realized that they were in a familiar place.
Sam could sense that there was still a temporary seal on the sword, as if the spirit had been forcefully put to sleep for some time by an outside force. After all, it still helped him because he had some things to accomplish before he could concentrate on the sword.
They go to Sam's house and after a break, the next day, they all sit in the hall because his friends want to tell him something.
Hawk decides to leave, because he knows there's not much he can do for Sam, not just that, but that, he also realized the gap between him and the other candidates from other regions and the world was much larger than his imagination.
"I don't know how I can repay you. But if you want me to do something in the future, please do not hesitate. I'm forever grateful for all you've done for me." With those words, the eagle left after giving Sam a bow. As Hawk thinks, there's not much help he can give Sam right now and it's even a mystery if Sam needs his help in the future.
The farewell doesn't stop there. Sam was surprised when his three friends wanted to leave as well. Seeing his surprised expression, Philip chuckled and said.
"What's? Do you think you don't have enough one-man shows? We don't help you much in many ways and we also become very pampered with you around us. We'll see you in six months at your school.New town." Philip did not wait for his reply and climbed the Level 4 beast he had obtained from the previous Duke and left the place.
Jack also nodded at Sam without saying anything and left. Now, only Watt is left.
"You want to go too?" ask Sam.
"Yes." Yeah."
“Then, what are you waiting for? Be careful on the way. If there is a problem, just visit the nearby Artisan tower. They must have our picture by now. You won't have any problems there. "
"No boss. It's not about that. It's about Felicia. I can't check his character because of this legacy issue. So, before I go back, don't cook rice."
"What's on your mind? What do you think, I'm thirsty for that?" Sam is enough. He doesn't even know where Watt got this idea from. He's really desperate. He even suspected that Philip had affected Watt so badly.
Philip, who took off his beast sneezed. He does not know that he who is completely innocent is involved in Watt's actions.
"FELICIA," Sam called out to him with a shout. The blonde woman ran towards him anxiously.
"Guard all your stuff, you have to go with Watt and travel with him for six months, don't leave him. Ask your brother to be ready too. He's gonna follow me to a new town."
He did not even give her enough to greet her and only gave her instructions.
Felicia nodded and left the place in a hurry. Watt who had just stood up and was still feeling groggy from the blow tried to say.
"But Boss..." His words stalled in his throat as he looked at Sam's grim gaze.
"Do you have something to say?" Sam asked with angry eyes. Watt swallowed his spit of fear and said.
"T... No. gabe... Bosses. Goodby. See you in six months." With that, he left the place in Falck.
Sam looked at the horizon while thinking about all the time they spent together. He felt that they were right. Unknowingly, he was too possessive of relieving all the pressure from them.
And in turn, he deprived them of their opportunity to cultivate their strength and will.
He began to make preparations to leave for his city. Sam city.
Sam must now hasten the plan for everything he has planned.
He traveled with Vulture to reach the city, but when he landed in the city, the first thing that greeted him was the presence of the Emperor. Arc was here for some reason and he seemed to come here overnight.
Both of them sat in private rooms.
"May I know, why are you here?"
ask Sam directly.
"I heard you cleared all four of Murali's legacies and even had your Cursed weapon called Shadow Sword." He glanced at the shadow sword that was still wrapped in silk as he spoke.
"Yes that's right."
"I'm here to warn you about this situation. Murali is not a small figure and the news about you may have achieved all the powers on the planet. There will be a lot of effort on you and your friends. May I know where they are? "
"They continue their journey to the continent." Arc seems a bit bothered by this.
"It would be difficult if they had to face the problem alone. Is there a way to contact them?"
"No need for that. They want to face their own problems to see how they can go without me and I'm pretty confident in them. After all, the space gate formation is within your control, right? don't you know if they're really coming?"
Arc sighed and said.
"That's the main problem. There was another method in the hands of this power. They could send anyone below the Nascent stage to a certain location without requiring a gate-space formation, just based on the coordinates."
"Thank you?" Sam's surprised.
"Yes, these great powers all have spatial element users in their hands. Since childhood, people who are woken up with space elements are trained in all kinds of transport and additional capabilities under limited conditions so that they will be used for this aspect.
They would not even be able to develop high combat strength due to the lack of skills and resources provided. But still, they were extremely elite only that they would not be able to take an authoritative position.
Everyone was quite afraid that someone with spatial abilities could easily overcome them if cultivated properly.
They could have killed them, but they just wanted this ability to move their people to different places that made them defend their lives.
Careful. I'm hearing that you're going to take care of your abilities for the next six months. You'll keep moving, I hope you'll be safe."
Sam thought about this and nodded.
"Thank you for the reminder. But don't worry. As long as they are not newborn stage cultivators, I might be able to handle a lot of things. Anyways. I've got something else to discuss with you.
Since you have just expanded the empire, wouldn't you be short of funds to recover the damage and renovate the city? Do you want to make money easily?"
