As He Ao's gaze lingered, the red flowing light gradually thinned until it was invisible to the naked eye.
He Ao reached out and touched the black core of the sword.
The rift in the sword's core had a faint, sandpaper-like texture, its material indistinguishable.
This ancient sword was quite ordinary overall, with the sword's core being the only unique feature.
Now that he thought about it, Nell's acquisition of this sword also seemed overly dramatic.
He Ao reached into his collar and pulled out a black cross.
It seemed that the old shopkeeper decided to sell him the sword after seeing the black cross.
And this cross was given to Nell by a priest at his church school during his middle school years.
Perhaps the shopkeeper knew the strangeness of this sword and deliberately sold it to Nell, or maybe it was just out of pity for a fellow believer that he sold it to Nell at a low price.
