Aster saw the black pommel floating now around him and he was a bit confused about the behavior of the thing.
Supposedly it was the first step in the construction of a soul weapon according to the soul technique Rya handed him, but in the spirit slip it never mentioned the thing will move by itself.
Seeing the pommel "curiously" orbiting him, it showed some faint traces of having its own will.
"It's like a pet instead of a weapon", mumbled Aster.
Lilia also inspected the thing, her eyes widened a bit and then she hugged her son with an excited expression.
"Weapon spirit… it reminds me a bit of a weapon spirit darling!".
One of the things Aster learned after reincarnating was that in this world of cultivation everything is possible, although it's not a common situation, with time and a high quantity of spirit energy even inanimate objects could become "living beings".
