Chapter 18 - Sword skill

A mockery glares were piercing Oba while lip-syncing the word 'asshole' so his sister won't hear his bad language, it did annoyed Oba. Then Dante replied:

"Its money points that most of everyone here deals with, in selling and buying things instead of cash currency".

Both of Cheryl and Sky were more curious so he continued his explanation giving them his full attention this time...

"One star point equals 100ul so on. And for construction point, one point equal about.. hmm... ten star points which is about...

"...1000ul!!" Shouted Sky shocked after doing some calculations.

"Correct.. although at first these points were only used by academy, but with time, some shops started to do so and then the rest too, for how convenient it is. for example, whether it to buy a dress or a weapon, you need to pay directly with your bank account via the chips".

"But won't you get scammed easily that way?"

Asked Cheryl.

"Well no, because all transactions are done with secure codes. So any scammer tries to run away with it would be a fatal deed, and you can take your money back in Greens family facilities of trade, by canceling your order, but of course with an evidence supports your claims. That's why nobody waste his time doing it... well except for some dumb individuals".

It was a long explanation Oba felt bord.

"Speaking of buying things, little Sky doesn't have a soul weapon yet". He stated avoiding eye contact with her, he still taking it hard on himself which made Sky feels apologetic for what she said earlier.

"Oh.., I forgot about that. Sky, do you have anything to do after this?" Dante asked getting up.

"I was planning to go to library, but... if we're going shopping with your charity it would be rude to refuse" She grinned.

Dante rolled his eye, he knew she is just honey talker, but she'll will take the opportunity to fork every 'ul' he had. She's always been stingy but also a greedy, probably she thinks of him as a rich by now.

"Library? Why?" He curiously asked.

In short response "Will tell you later.." She said.

He only nodded to respect her decision for privacy, but he was still curious. The woman who was cooking in the small stove was paid generously.

After that, Dante and Sky departed from the others after waving goodbye.

Sky happily skipped on the road in hopes to finally found adescent weapon. Because the one in training center always breaks when her skill speed activated.

Wondering the streets they skipped through the crowds carefully till they reached a very familiar street to Dante.

"Let's check these on the side first" He said dragging Sky around. Shop after shop, they explored them all until they finally found something interesting.

A little bit fancy weapon's gallery of a shop catched Sky's eyes and shortly they were inside. Wasting no time her eyes rolled over the shelfs and the weapons, she was fascinated by it, there was some aesthetic sense for the ancient civilization merged with modern Camo.

At the same time, she spoke of her affinity with Dante in the hope he'll know something about it.

"Hmm..pure light you said? I've never heard of it before..." Dante restored, after hearing about her element's affinity. "Does it have the same properties of light element?" He asked.

Held a grip of a metallic dagger off the shelf and inspected it carefully, she replied:

"I think so? I'm not sure myself, but the skill I got so far are speed and purification"

Dante looked deep in thought strolling between then shelfs. He then picked up a chain plated with catching dark red color.

"D...did you like those chains young sir? As you can see it's made of special...." The shop's owner asked nervously when he noticed Dante's choice of interest. The boy didn't like his voice one bit, so he ignored him and put the dagger back to its place. The shop's owner became more nervous to talk after Dante's glare.

"Did anything catch your eyes so far?" Dante said with some boredom in his face.

"Um.., not really, I thought we'll find something her but I guess not". Dante heard her reply when he stood next to her, and so did the the owner who stuttered "P..p..please costumer, wait! I have yet one weapon to show you, it might serve what you're looking for".

Dante's gazes followed the man walking to upper floor, they were curious so they waited for him. When he came back with something wrapped on his hands, he looked sweaty more than before, so the siblings glared at him with raised suspicious.

"What if he was swindler?" Sky whispered on Dante's ear.

"He wouldn't dare, I mean look at him...the man looked like he would blown by the wind at any second" He whispered back. Sky nodded pitying the owner. "Leave it to me" Dante added.

"A short Sword?!" Sky exclaimed looking at the short thin sword shown to her.

She was lost of words staring on the beautiful dangle white long strip, from the sliver handle to the thin long crimson tip with some ruins written on both side of the blade in a shade of red, adding to it a beautiful and deadly look.

She sighted Dante who nodded at her, then she used her chip to scan the weapon for appraisal.

Weapon type: Sword, title [ Will of Fallen]

Sword Soul description: The Ancient blade, thin with average sharp edges, many opponents were defeated at once under its master command, victory is guaranteed. One day the master prayed for forgiveness for those he took their souls, but no answer was given. Fallen into grief and eaten by regret, its master last command was to cut him into half but the blade defied its will, blad's soul wish for master... 'no more'.

Sword Skills: [Whisper of the Fallen], [Seeker of Forgiveness], [Curse of existence].

Sky got the shiver from what she just read and almost stump on her own foot if it wasn't for Dante lending her a grip.

Dante tapped his screen to appraise the weapon again, sensing its oddness about this sword, he took a brief look then sighed.

"You shouldn't sell these kind of weapons to anyone, how you call yourself a weapon trader you steak head! I hope you get rid of it before the unfortunate happen!".

He snapped nearly throwing it but restrained and put it on Sky's hands aggressively. The shop's owner eyes roamed around then nervously yelling:

"You think I didn't? I tried many times to get rid of it, b..but.... for some reason it kept on... getting back in the same shelf!!! That's why I locked away!!" The owner collapsed Kneeling on his four limbs starleted them both.

"This...sword is work of evil ....ever since I bought it, I had the worst nightmares.. non-stopping nightmares..." He was devastated.

Suddenly the man lifted his head begging...

"Please young sir! I'll do anything... you can take it for free... just take it out of my life!"
