Chapter 501 One move is missing

The eight-legged warhorse Threpnir, Odin's mount, can step on any corner of the world with its hooves.

This world includes the world of death.

This means that the eight-legged warhorse is the freest creature in the world. Neither life nor death can restrain it, so it is naturally very difficult to control it.

Consider its first two owners, Odin and the second Cyclops, both of whom possessed immense power and omniscience.

Blaze didn't think he could match Odin and the second-generation Cyclops now. After all, he was just a teenager in his growing period and couldn't compare to these guys whose ages couldn't be described by numbers.

So Blaze made two preparations, one was bribery, the other was coercion. Leaving aside the bribery, coercion did require preparation, and it was estimated that the eight-legged warhorse would have to bleed a little.

The eight-legged warhorse is a divine horse, but a divine horse is also a horse and a beast, and is within the special attack range of the Hunter.

Blaze opened the blessing and felt that it was time to use the ancient amulet given by the fallen elves to advance the [Hunter] to [Hunter].

As soon as I clicked on the [Hunter] profession, a box popped up.

[Conditions satisfied: Do you want to sacrifice Hunter LV15?]

Blaze subconsciously nodded [Yes], after all, he was not good at saying no.

"……Depend on!"

[Missing key items, sacrifice failed]

"Depend on!"

Blaze couldn't help but swear, but this time he was thankful. Good fellow, they ambushed him here, and he almost sent the Hunter away again.

Some extremely special hidden professions are rewards for blessed people who have completed certain achievements, or treasure chests. To open a treasure chest, you need a key, and the key is often a prop.

In other words, he was now just missing a certain item, and the [Hunter] would be forced to leave and become another unrelated profession.

Blaze knew with his toes that this achievement must be related to defeating the [Solarized Yamata-no-Orochi], so he'd better be wary of items related to the [bow] recently.

Although that unknown profession must be very strong, [Hunter] also has great prospects.

Most monsters carry the [Beast] affix, which can easily reveal the opponent's true colors. Looking at the constellations he will return to in the future, the prefixes are all [Beast King], which means beast, and [Hunter] will definitely shine among them.

So let’s wait a little longer for this unknown profession.

Blaze waved away the prompt box and carefully checked the items in his warehouse.

As expected, there were no drops from the Yamata no Orochi.

Finally, the incarnation of the Yamata no Orochi, the sun, was equivalent to completely transforming its own body and soul into a powerful attack, so naturally no materials or experience points were dropped.

When it came to the twisted greatsword, Blaze paused and took out this old friend.

I still remember clearly how scared I was when we first met. I almost chopped his head off.

The twisted blade split the sunlight, dazzling but unable to conceal its decay.

The Yamata no Orochi retreated smoothly, and the quality of the twisted sword was reduced. Not only did it lose its snake fire and additional attacks, but its attributes were also reduced to the original state, that is, the state when it was split in half by the powerful flying brick.

The power of this weapon can no longer keep up with him. The change of dynasties is not surprising, let alone the replacement of weapons. But Blazer felt a little regretful. He and this weapon have been together for a long time...

"It doesn't seem like it was long." Strictly speaking, Black Beast Knight Blaze is the old friend of Twisted Greatsword, and he is a latecomer.

Blaze threw the twisted sword out with all his strength, then opened his palm and the twisted sword flew back. The heavy impact of the sword landing on his palm made Blaze realize that this sword still had other secrets hidden.

If a weapon flies out of your hand, you can only pick it up if you want to get it back. Very few of them can fly back by themselves, and they are generally of very high quality.

Blaze's guess about the twisted greatsword is that the greatsword and the Black Beast Knight's armor are one, so they can call each other. And as the armor lost its name, the greatsword was also forgotten.

Ultimately, he still had to go to the Golden Kingdom and find a way to remove the curse of the armor. Putting aside the problem of the twisted sword, if he didn't take off the armor, he would only be seen as a black beast knight and a werewolf in the eyes of others.

"Ah~" Blaze flicked the blade of the twisted greatsword hard, "I guess the curse has been lifted, and you will definitely be held by your original owner and slashed at me. Don't expect me to show mercy then."

"Do you know you're talking to a weapon?"

Chicken tilted his head and complained, but this only aroused Blaze's interest.

"Do you think weapons can have souls?"

"...This question needs to be discussed in categories, depending on what kind of soul you think it is." Chicken answered Blaze seriously and took the dwarves as an example.

"From the perspective of the blessed, there should be. The [Blacksmiths] among the blessed can gain special experience points by forging weapons, which is similar to absorbing soul flames by defeating monsters."

"But from the perspective of normal creatures, we have to classify them based on what it means to have a soul. If we want to classify them in more detail, we have to classify them based on the type of weapon. For example, is a weapon like Grem considered a weapon? Is the soul born in a weapon made of monster material the soul of the monster or the soul of the weapon?"

Blazer hadn't expected that the chicken would expand on his casual question to such a detailed level, but when he thought about it carefully he realized that the chicken was just showing off her intelligence without making a sound.

A question that could be answered with a simple nod or shake of the head was stretched into a long string of words.

It's like showing off oneself in a simple and crude way by showing off one's beautiful feathers and extraordinary fighting ability in the past, but now one is showing off oneself in a restrained way by showing off one's knowledge.

But since Chicken had mentioned this much, Blazer continued asking questions just to see how knowledgeable Chicken could pretend to be.

"When I say soul, I mean the kind that can talk, like a soul floating out of a weapon, or turning into a human or something."

"I don't think you can do the latter. Humanization is essentially a skill for transformation between living things. Only living things can possess it. As for the former, it's hard to say. Even Gungnir behind you doesn't have such a strong and clear self-awareness."

The chicken shook her head. Before arriving at the city of Mekingjord, she had been talking about everything from heaven to earth without stopping, but the general meaning was that there was no hope.

No matter what kind of weapon it is, no matter how righteous and gorgeous words are used to describe it, weapons are born for killing, and the souls born in that way will not bring any beautiful stories.

Moreover, the chicken told Blaze very seriously that it was okay for him to think about this as a human being, but it would be very scary if it happened to other creatures.

The weapons of other creatures are their claws and teeth. But if one day these claws and teeth develop souls and have self-awareness, how terrible that would be.

"After all, the soul is affected by the body, and weapons are not really good bodies. If they have souls, they are probably evil weapons that tempt their users to fight endlessly."

"The dream is shattered." Blaze sighed regretfully. Every teenager dreams of obtaining a weapon that has a fairy in it.

But now that I think about it, even if such a weapon really exists, it would probably be something like a dark fairy tale.

For some reason, when Blazer talked about dark fairy tales, he thought of Greenland. The evil cat orcs were the monsters in the darkest fairy tales.

"Ha, maybe there really will be a dark fairy tale mission."
