Chapter 43: Sword Domination And The World ---) Name: The Fallen Star ---) Type: Weapon-Type Soul Armament [Grows along with its user] ---) Status: Unawakened [Awakening conditions for the Fallen Star are unknown] ---) Abilities: Sword Domination, The World ---) Sword Domination (Passive Ability): Increases the power of all sword-type attacks by 50%. ---) The World (Active Ability): The Fallen Star can change its weight according to the user’s will. At its peak, this ability allows the sword to become as heavy as the entire world. Currently, the user can increase the sword’s weight by three times. ===== Azrael looked at the information of the Fallen Star through his status window and found that everything was the same as the information the Fallen Star had directly sent to him upon the successful formation of their contract. Just like people, some special Soul Armaments also go through awakening. Not all Soul Armaments possess the ability to awaken, but those that do are generally considered superior to those that don’t. Unlike humans, who can awaken using an Awakening Stone, the conditions for awakening Soul Armaments are very different. Some Soul Armaments awaken after enough people are killed using them, while others awaken when their user reaches a specific level. In short, the awakening conditions for all Soul Armaments are unique, and users have to figure them out on their own. Azrael didn’t care about the awakening of his Soul Armament for the time being and instead focused on its abilities. Sword Domination was an incredibly powerful ability. It increased the power of all sword-type attacks by 50%. Simply put, even if he casually swung the Fallen Star at someone, the power of the swing would increase by 50%. ’Once I awaken, I can learn some sword-type skills to fully utilize this ability of the Fallen Star...’ Azrael thought to himself, and his eyes gleamed with anticipation. What made him even happier was the fact that this ability was still in its initial state and would continue to grow as the Fallen Star grew alongside him. The World was also a tremendously powerful skill. The initial weight of the Fallen Star was actually around one hundred and fifty kilograms. The only reason Azrael could lift it so casually was because he had a contract with it. Without that contract, lifting it with his current strength—let alone using it in battle—would have been pretty difficult. Of course, that initial weight wasn’t the sword’s limit. As the sword grew with Azrael, its base weight would also increase alongside the power of the World ability. ’So the reason the attacks of that black figure felt so heavy during the last moments of our fight was because he used the World skill to increase its weight...’ Azrael thought, a look of understanding dawning on his face. Other than the blade, even the handle of the sword was completely black. As he looked at the weapon, which was just slightly shorter than him, Azrael suddenly recalled the day he had first opened his eyes in Genesis. Just before waking up in this world, he had seen a strange dream. In that dream, millions of people were fighting in a massive war. Terrifying existences—beings that seemed even more powerful than Ashara or Silas filled the sky, and blood flowed like seawater. He still remembered that the person who killed the Titan King had also wielded a greatsword. That man’s sword had also been slightly shorter than his body, but unlike the Fallen Star, it was red in color and the bloody aura it radiated was terrifying, as though it had consumed the lives of millions. Azrael could feel a faint trace of the same terrifying aura he had sensed back then emanating from the Fallen Star. Though this aura was powerful and sinister, it was still nothing compared to the dreadful presence of the sword used by the man in his dream. "What should we do now?" Silas asked, breaking the silence as he looked at Azrael and Ashara. All three of them exchanged glances and fell quiet. Before arriving here, they hadn’t known what would happen or how much time it would take Azrael to form a contract. So, they had told Kael that they would be out for the day. Yet, it had only been about an hour since they arrived, and Azrael had already successfully formed the contract with his Soul Armament. Azrael and Ashara remained silent at Silas’ question. "Well, since we are done here, how about we return and go to the galaxy amusement park Kael’s been begging us to visit?" Azrael suggested. Silas and Ashara recalled the crocodile tears Kael had shed earlier to convince them to take him to the amusement park next week, and both of their mouths twitched. They exchanged glances and finally nodded in agreement. Seeing their response, Azrael turned to look behind him, his eyes landing on the chains that had previously bound the Fallen Star. "Mom, was there a reason you bound the Fallen Star with those chains?" Ashara looked at the now-loose chains lying on the ground and nodded. "Some Soul Armaments have the ability to tear through space and move freely. Since we didn’t know anything about yours, we bound it just in case it also had that ability. It was a precaution to stop it from escaping." A look of realization flashed across Azrael’s face, and he nodded in understanding. "Let’s go back," Silas said as he retrieved the chains lying on the ground with a wave of his hand. Azrael followed Silas and Ashara out of the hut. As soon as they stepped outside, the door slammed shut behind them once again. "There are less than two months left until your awakening..." Ashara said as she patted Azrael’s shoulder and flashed a wide smile. "Since you will be using a greatsword as your weapon, I’ll personally train you." Azrael was surprised by her words. "Mom, you also use a greatsword?" "Of course," Ashara said proudly. "I’m not bragging—but while I might not be the best in the world, I’m definitely among the top five when it comes to greatsword combat." Azrael looked at her with admiration and even clapped a few times to boost her ego. Ashara beamed with satisfaction at his reaction, then cast a smug glance toward Silas—one that clearly said, See? That’s how you show off in front of kids. Silas’s mouth twitched when he saw her look and turned away, refusing to acknowledge her antics.
