BXBX NOVEL Chapter 82: A Sword
Carefully, Erza picked up the cloth-covered sword before entering the back room of David\'s car.
She did not open the cloth covering the sword right away, but waited for Jane to raise the window beside her first.
After that, only then did she begin to open the cloth covering the sword.
The cloth also seemed to be unique in that when a portion of the sword was exposed, David immediately felt an overwhelming spiritual aura. The faint golden glow emanating from the sword was enough to amaze him.
When the sword was fully exposed so that he could see its shape, David vaguely felt a very strong threat from the sword.
He thought a random person wielding it could threaten even him who was already a Spiritual Being.
"This sword is called Excalibur, you must have heard of its legend." Jane suddenly spoke. "It was kept by the Morgan Family after much effort to obtain it. They were very afraid of the sword because its light was a serious threat to vampires. Of course, for Spiritual Beings like us, this sword is also very threatening.
If it is combined with your strength, your attack power can reach an unstoppable point."
"This is my gift to you, please accept it," Erza said right after Jane finished speaking.
She handed the sword to David by pointing the hilt towards him.
David was a bit hesitant to take the sword.
It was precious without a doubt, but the question was whether he should carry it around with him everywhere he went?
"Can this sword be shrunk down so that it can fit into a pants pocket?" David asked before he took the sword.
Jane and Erza\'s faces froze instantly upon hearing his question.
Both of them showed very strange expressions.
"David, maybe something like that can be done, but with our current level, we don\'t have the means. The sword will stay like that," Jane said, explaining a fact to David.
"Then how am I going to hide this sword?" asked David once again. "You know, there\'s no way I\'m going to carry it around. Even a cosplayer doesn\'t carry a sword every day."
"You can keep it in your car," Erza replied.
"What if it goes missing when I\'m not in the car? Or suddenly I\'m fighting an enemy and want the sword, wouldn\'t it be very inconvenient to retrieve it from inside this car?"
"So that\'s what you\'re worried about, fiuh!" Jane suddenly said and sighed.
"Is something wrong?" David asked Jane.
There seemed to be something wrong with his words so the woman sighed. Did he say or worry about something stupid?
"Actually, although this sword cannot be shrunk, it can be bound with your power. After that, you and the sword will be connected to each other," Jane replied in her gentle tone. "When you are connected to the sword, it will allow you to summon it to come to your place as long as you are not too far away from it.
For example you are on the roof of the university right now, when you summon the sword, it will fly to the roof. How far away you can summon this sword will depend on how strong your power is."
After hearing Jane\'s explanation, David finally understood why Jane had sighed.
However, he thought he was not wrong. It wasn\'t something he hadn\'t thought of, but he was made to think that the means for such a thing was also unknown because Jane had previously said that she didn\'t know of a way to shrink the size of the sword.
"Then how do I bind this sword with my power?" When asking about that, David finally grabbed the hilt of the sword.
Apparently, it was so light that he felt like he was holding a wooden sword.
Even so, he was quite surprised when he directly held the sword.
Infinite power, he felt that very clearly.
That sword hid infinite power, it could be unleashed at any time. The problem was, did he have the strength to unleash that power?
"Try to send your lightning into the sword," Jane replied. "We\'ll see if it accepts or rejects you. Some powers are actually rejected by the sword, especially vampire powers."
David nodded, then did as Jane said.
Lightning shot out of his hand, flowing into the sword.
Apparently, the sword instantly absorbed the lightning.
The golden light emanated more clearly from the sword and the lightning seemed to flow through the sword\'s body.
"Yeah, there\'s no way Zeus\' power could be denied by Excalibur," Jane said as she looked at the sword.
At this moment, David actually began to feel some sort of connection between him and the sword. It became stronger with time.
When that connection was established, he began to know on his own how to summon the sword if it was far away from him. He also knew how to limit the sword\'s power so that it didn\'t release light constantly.
\'I think I can slaughter those Vatican people if only I had this sword from the beginning,\' David thought.
After that, he looked at Erza who was watching him curiously.
"Thanks, I like this gift," he told her.
Erza smiled broadly at David thanking her. From her perspective, she thought David was opening up to her more and more. Maybe now he liked her as much as he liked Jane because she had also practically betrayed her own family for David.
"There\'s no need to thank her, it\'s something she has to do because she knows our secret. Now she\'s also bonded so there\'s no way she could betray us," Jane said suddenly. She reprimanded David for thanking Erza.
When David looked into Jane\'s eyes, he found a sort of light of displeasure from her.
"Uhmmm, Jane, aren\'t you being too harsh. I sincerely did all this," Erza said in response.
"You wouldn\'t have done it if it wasn\'t for me forcing you," Jane replied with a sardonic look.
"Now, it\'s time for you to go, there\'s something I want to take care of with David," she added.
"What? What does it matter if I come with you?" Erza became even more annoyed that Jane was asking her to leave.
