Ch 46: Getting Rid of Blade's Demonic Nature

Emrys had no idea what to say. Elysia asked him how he obtained the Soul Essence and the number of drops he possessed.

According to her, she had watched him evolving Soul Orbs with the help of Soul Essence. Although he had used up thousands of Soul Points, he had yet to use even half a drop of Soul Essence.

What is the conversion rate?

Emrys really wanted to know how many Soul Points a drop of Soul Essence could be exchanged for.

What should he tell her?

He looked at his information panel.

.....

[Name: Emrys Frazier.

Cultivation: Elementary Bronze Soul Master.

Soul Mark: Walker of the Blue Sky.

Soul Point: 3,100.

Unique Skills: Soul Orb Enhancement, Soul Force Extraction.]

.....

Emrys originally had 2,822 Soul Points. However, after extracting Soul Points from the corpses of Number 17, Number 18, and Number 19, his Soul Points increased rapidly. Coupled with the one Soul Point he could obtain every day, his total Soul Points had risen to 3,100.

However, he knew for sure that the number of Soul Points in his possession would continue to increase. There might come a day when he'll be the owner of millions of Soul Points.

Since Elysia had been watching him for a few days without letting him sense her, she could do the same in the future. Thinking for a while, Emrys knew that he definitely could not tell her that he didn't have a single drop of Soul Essence. 

"I have around ten drops in my hand!" Emrys took a deep breath, made up his mind, and said.

Elysia raised her brows in surprise. She smiled swiftly and said, "You truly are an interesting person. Not only were you able to awaken your Soul Mark despite being cursed by the Curse of Echoing Silence, but your Soul Mark is also Space-attributed, which should have been impossible for you to awaken normally. Most importantly, your luck is not bad. You actually somehow obtained ten drops of Soul Essence."

She praised Emrys. Although she wanted to know how Emrys obtained the Soul Essence, since he did not explain, she decided to ignore it.

Emrys, on the other hand, looks sullen. He frowned and asked, "What do you mean when you spoke of the Curse of Echoing Silence?"

"You don't know?"

Elysia raised her brow in surprise. She did not expect Emrys to be unaware of his own problem. She could have told him, but she thought of something and said, "Although I can explain, I think you should ask your parents about the curse. That'll be more appropriate!"

Emrys felt like being struck by a bolt of lightning. When he heard Elysia, a thought appeared in his mind.

Could it be that his parents know about this curse?

But if they know, why did they hide it from him?

What does this curse actually do?

Several questions popped into his mind. He then thought of the previous owner of this body. He was obviously a talented person, cultivating to the Sixth Order of Soul Apprentice at the young age of 16. Then, for some reason, he continuously failed to awaken his Soul Mark, resulting in the slow improvement of his cultivation. In the next two years, he was only able to raise his cultivation by one order, reaching the Seventh Order of Soul Apprentice.

Could the Curse of Echoing Silence be the reason that the predecessor was unable to awaken his Soul Mark?

"Don't think too much. You should first deal with your current problem."

Elysia, seeing the troubled Emrys, interrupted his thoughts. She had mistakenly thought that Emrys was aware of the curse that should have created a huge problem for him at the time of awakening his Soul Mark, she never thought that Emrys had no idea.

Moreover, Emrys's mother is obviously a powerhouse. However, it seems Emrys is unaware of his mother's truth as well.

His family is full of mystery, just like him!

Elysia's eyes glowed with green light.

Emrys nodded his head. He understood that Elysia was right. He should focus on the problem at hand first. As for the matter of the curse, he can ask his mother after going back.

'Can the Soul Points be added to weapons as well?'

Emrys had never tried to evolve another object other than the Soul Orbs. He has no idea whether it'll work or not.

Taking a deep breath, he tried to fuse the Soul Points to the demonic blade that was stuck to his hand.

His hand glowed with a shiny blue light. The instant this light appeared, the sinister energy reacted as if it had met its adversary. It churned before retracting, swarming all over his body like an army of disgusting dark worms before slowly withdrawing. The demonic blade was forced to retract all the dark energy it had released to engulf Emrys.

To Emrys's dismay, all his Soul Points were poured into the demonic blade. He was left with zero Soul Points now.

The demonic blade trembled violently, its dark aura pulsating erratically as if struggling against an invisible force. The malevolent energy that had once seeped from its surface began to wane and pulled back into the blade's core.

As the blue light continued to glow from Emrys's hand, it enveloped the blade, purging the last remnants of sinister power. The blade, once dark and foreboding, began to change. The surface, which had been etched with an ominous aura and drenched in a black, inky sheen, started to clear. The demonic aura faded, their sinister glow extinguished, and the blackness receded, revealing a polished, gleaming steel beneath.

The hilt, previously covered with spikes and twisted designs, smoothed out, taking on a more refined and simple appearance. The entire weapon that was once a vessel of sinister energy and malevolence now shone with a pure, unblemished luster. The demonic aura that had clung to it dissipated entirely, replaced by an almost serene outlook.

Due to the Soul Points, the demonic blade went through a huge transformation. It lost all traces of its dark nature, standing now as a perfectly ordinary weapon, devoid of any sign of its former sinister essence.

Emrys had no idea of the grade of this weapon, however, he was sure that it was now even more powerful than before. Although the blade lost its demonic nature, it gained purity and resilience, becoming a weapon of exceptional quality and strength.
