Starting With 3 S-Class Talents Chapter 385 - The Treasured Sword Recognizes Its Master And Fights With All Its Might

Chapter 385 - The Treasured Sword Recognizes Its Master And Fights With All Its Might

When Catherine suddenly realized something when she saw Dave taking out the Elf King's remains.

Vincent, on the other hand, only smiled slightly, because he had accurately guessed that the material that Dave had prepared. It was the Elf King's remains.

At the same time, Vincent also wanted to see what was so special about Elf King's remains!

Vincent said softly, "Since that's the case, then let's seize the time to forge the sword!"

Dave nodded and walked into the forging room again.

At this time, Rooney had already successfully melted the meteorite chain and forged it into a fiery-red iron ingot. He was hammering it repeatedly on the forging table.

Dave stepped forward and said, "I have already prepared the top-tier materials to be added to the knife, but you must close your eyes because I don't want anyone to see this material!"

Rooney just nodded. He then swung his hammer and smashed a small ditch on the red iron ingot. He closed his eyes and said, "Your Highness, please put the material into the iron ingot!"

Dave stepped forward and placed a piece of the Elf King's remains into the iron ingot. He then said to Rooney, "It has already been placed!"

Rooney still did not open his eyes. He just swung the hammer in his hand and slowly flattened the ditch on the iron ingot. He hammered again and again until the iron ingot completely fused with the Elf King's remains.

After that, Rooney opened his eyes and saw that the iron ingot in front of him had turned pitch-black. However, the continuous heat waves proved that it was still in a high-temperature state.

When Rooney saw this, he could not help but sigh in surprise.

"What a powerful energy! It is indeed a top-tier material. Although I do not know what material Your Highness had prepared, I am confident that I can forge a true treasure this time!"

Dave nodded and said confidently, "Yes, I also believe in it! I will leave the rest to you!"

After saying that, Dave turned around and walked out of the forging room. He walked into the mansion with Vincent and the others.

Dave, who was waiting wholeheartedly for the new knife to be forged, suddenly turned to Vincent and asked, "Previously, you said that there would be someone to practice with me. As the new knife is about to be forged, can you tell me who that person is?"

Vincent just smiled mysteriously and said, "Your Highness will accompany me for a period of time, then you will know!"

Dave and Catherine silently exchanged glances and followed behind Vincent with a curious expression.

Not long after, the four of them arrived at the front yard of the mansion.

The yard was surrounded by guest rooms. There were three guest rooms that were occupied at this time.

Vincent stood in the courtyard and asked loudly, "Ebenezer, how is your clansman? Are they recuperating well?"

The door instantly opened, and Ebenezer walked out with a face full of joy. He said to Vincent, "Master, the poison in Guru Harson's body has been completely removed, and he has now recovered his strength! Although Daniel has also removed the poison in his body, his arm has not yet grown back, so he is still unable to display his full strength!"

Vincent nodded and asked, "Although Daniel has lost an arm, if we ask him to fight, how much strength can he display?"

Ebenezer could not help but scratch his head and say, "All shadow demons' combat habits are different. Everyone would show their strength differently if they only had one arm. As for how much strength he lost, we will need to ask him in person!"

Daniel walked out of the room and said in a stubborn tone, "I can still display at least 90% of my strength. Don't simply a.s.sume that an arm can affect my fighting ability!"

"Good!"

Vincent smiled and praised him. He then asked, "Then if I let you fight with His Highness, would you dare to do it?"

Daniel turned to look at Dave, who was behind Vincent. There was no expression on Daniel's face as it was covered by the black gas. He said coldly, "I won't fight with others. If you want to fight, you must fight with life and death. Does he dare to fight me?"

After hearing Daniel's arrogant tone, Vincent could not help but shake his head and smile. He did not want to say that Dave did not dare to fight, but he felt that Daniel's behavior was too childish.

However, Dave who was behind Vincent did not want to lose face at this time so he replied, "I dare! Since I want to improve my strength, then I should improve myself by partaking in the most dangerous battle!"

Daniel snorted with some disdain. His remaining arm instantly turned into a pitch-black blade. He walked straight out of the room and said in a deep voice, "Should we start now, or change the venue?"

Dave turned to look around and said, "Let's go to the gra.s.s field in the backyard! In addition, you will need to wait for my new blade to be forged. After that, we can start the compet.i.tion!"

"Okay, I'll go to the gra.s.s field and wait for you!" said Daniel with confidence.

He then walked straight to the gra.s.s field in the backyard.

Ebenezer, who was at the side, could not help but say worriedly, "Master, you can let them compete, but I'm worried that Daniel's temper will make this compet.i.tion even more dangerous!"

Vincent shook his head and said, "It's fine! With me watching from the side, there won't be any danger!"

Ebenezer immediately nodded with relief. He returned to his room.

Although Guru's Harson had recovered, Ebenezer still wanted to talk to him about Guru Gordon. Their previous debate had not been completed. Therefore, he had to pester Guru Harson to explain things to him clearly. He was not in the mood to think about other matters at that moment.

Vincent, Dave, and the others walked around the mansion until noon.

All of a sudden, flames soared into the sky above the forging room, followed by a violent explosion.

"Quick! Something happened!"

Vincent and the others could not help but run to the forging room.

When they arrived at the backyard, they saw that the forging room had long turned into ruins. Rooney, who was covered in blood, was lying in a corner of the ruins. He could not stop coughing.

"Rooney! How are you? Are you alright? Where did the treasured blade that I asked you to forge for me go?"

Dave ran forward and asked anxiously as he helped Rooney to stop the bleeding.

Rooney raised his arm gently and pointed in the direction of the forging furnace. He replied softly, "The blade is still in the furnace! It's just that the power of the blade is too great. The moment it was forged, it pushed me away! It looks like I must make it recognize me as its master before anyone can get close to it. Otherwise, anyone who gets close to this blade will be pushed away and end up like me!"

Dave could not help but turn to look at Vincent behind him. He believed that no one could surpa.s.s Vincent in terms of knowledge about blades. Therefore, when Rooney said that the treasured blade needed to recognize its master, Dave still needed Vincent's professional certification.

Vincent instantly thought of the Return Journey of the Dead in his hands. A true top-grade divine knife indeed needed to recognize its owner. Only by obtaining the recognition of the knife could the user become one with the knife and unleash its greatest power!

Thus, Vincent nodded to Dave, indicating that what Rooney said was right.

After receiving Vincent's confirmation, Dave immediately stood up and walked toward the forge with a resolute expression.

"Your Highness, it's dangerous!"

Catherine could not help but remind him when she saw him walking toward the furnace. This was because she could not bear to see her loved one taking such a risk.

Dave turned to look at Catherine and shook his head gently. He comforted her, "Don't worry!"

Then, Dave continued to walk toward the furnace with a determined look. When he was only five steps away from the furnace, a surge of energy instantly gushed out and swept everything around him.

Dave, on the other hand, gritted his teeth and only took half a step back. He continued to stride forward and approached the furnace.

"Boom!"

Another burst of even more violent energy gushed out. The entire furnace was instantly destroyed into pieces, revealing a pitch-black longsword floating in the flames.

The shape and outline of the blade were no different from the Return Journey of the Dead. The only difference was that the blade of the Return Journey of the Dead had fire cloud patterns on it, while the blade in the furnace was completely pitch-black and l.u.s.treless. It looked very heavy.

As Dave did not dodge or hide from the explosion, his body was already a b.l.o.o.d.y mess. The intense pain made his body tremble, but he still walked forward resolutely until he was only one step away from the black blade in front of him.

"Buzz!"

The black blade suddenly let out a sharp sound, as if it was acc.u.mulating even more violent energy. It sounded like it wanted to completely kill the intruder who was right in front of it.

Catherine, who was in the courtyard realized the danger in front of her and hurriedly shouted, "Your Highness Dave, come back quickly, that blade wants to kill you! The treasure is not important, your safety is the most important!"

Vincent frowned. He raised his hand to stop Catherine, and said in a deep voice, "Any top-tier treasure has its own pride. If one doesn't have the firmness and perseverance to be recognized by the treasure, how could one become strong? Now is the time for him to make his own decision, don't interfere with him!"

Catherine looked at Vincent with some confusion, but she knew that her worry at this time would only become a burden for Dave, so she could only choose to keep quiet and not interfere with his choice.

Dave did not seem to hear the conversation of Vincent and Catherine. His eyes were fixed on the black knife, and he took the last step forward with all his might.

The energy within the black blade that was about to erupt suddenly extinguished for some unknown reason. It was as if the treasured blade that was filled with killing intent had shown compa.s.sion toward Dave.

Dave could not help but smile when he saw this. He instantly reached out his hand to grab the hilt of the blade within the flames. He then turned around to take the blade out from the furnace.

"Boom!"

The color in the sky instantly changed. Bolts of lightning that were as thick as a bucket of water struck the blade. At the same time, majestic energy flowed along the blade into Dave's body, repairing and healing all his injuries. It looked as if he had never been injured before.

Vincent said with a gratified expression, "Good! The treasured blade recognizes its master and will not change in this lifetime! From today onwards, you will be its master for life. Now, you can give him a resounding name!"

Dave, who had recovered from all the injuries on his body, lowered his head and looked at the black blade in his hand. He muttered, "The story and origin of this blade are very n.o.ble. It is my honor to be recognized by it! From today onwards, it will be called the Inquisitive G.o.d of the World. Will it be able to live up to the Elf Race?"

Just as Dave finished speaking, a black light suddenly lit on his weapon, as if it was responding to the name that Dave had given him.

Monica, who was standing behind Vincent, became much bolder. She quickly said, "It seems that this blade is really intelligent. It seems to like the name that His Highness Dave gave him!"

Vincent smiled and said, "Of course. All weapons yearn to be controlled by the strong, and the determination that Dave showed just now was a symbol of the strong. Therefore, for a weapon to be named by a strong individual was a great fortune for the weapon. It can also be considered its supreme glory!"

Catherine, who was trying to persuade Dave to give up earlier, had an awkward look on her face because she realized that her momentary worry had actually become a burden to Dave. She lowered her head with some self-reproach. She did not dare to look directly at Dave.

Meanwhile, Dave was holding the knife in his right hand. He strode forward and held Catherine's cold palm with his left hand and said confidently, "From today onward, I will use my knife to protect everyone that I want to protect! I also feel an unprecedented power. Next, I should test the power of the knife skills I have learned!"

After saying that, Dave took Catherine and strode toward the gra.s.s field in the backyard.

Vincent followed behind and sighed softly to Monica, "Let's go, let's witness Dave's powerful path together!"

Everyone followed Dave to the gra.s.s field. They saw Daniel sitting cross-legged in the gra.s.s field. He had waited for a long time.

After sensing Dave's arrival, Daniel opened his eyes gently and looked at the black knife in Dave's hand. He sighed softly, "Not bad, it's a good knife! I wonder if it is following the wrong master?"

Dave held the hilt of the knife with both hands and made a starting gesture. He smiled and said, "Then you can give it a try. I will use my strength to prove to you that I am the best master for this knife!"

"Good, a knife and sword have no eyes. Life and death are determined by fate!" shouted Daniel in a deep voice.

His entire body suddenly turned into a black shadow. He waved his arm that had transformed into a blade and stabbed directly in Dave's direction.

Dave, who was full of heroic spirit just a moment ago, instantly widened his eyes because he did not expect Daniel to have such fast speed. Before this, he had only learned knife skills from Vincent. The only time he had experienced a real battle was when he exchanged a move with Miller. His knife was then destroyed by his opponent.

Dave could not find a way to deal with Daniel's fast attack. However, Dave was definitely not someone who would just sit and wait for death in a difficult situation. When he realized that his eyes could not keep up with Daniel's speed, he decided to close his eyes. He no longer looked at Daniel who was sprinting toward him. Instead, he directly swung his blade and slashed forward.

"Collapsing Mountain Strike!"

As Dave shouted, the blade in his hand was instantly enveloped by a surging demonic aura. The gra.s.s under his feet was torn apart. The streams of demonic aura were like demons that were baring their fangs and brandis.h.i.+ng their claws. They soon pounced forward.

Daniel, who had just rushed in front of Dave, instantly stopped. He swung his blade and swept at the black aura in front of him.

"Boom!"

A violent tremor was felt. The power of Daniel's blade and Dave's Collapsing Mountain Strike formed a counterbalance. The two of them were pushed back by the aftershock of the collision.

Dave took five steps back in a row. He stabilized his body and raised his knife at Daniel.

Daniel only took two steps back before he raised his arm, which had transformed into a blade again. However, this time, Daniel did not mock Dave. Instead, he treated him very seriously as a powerful opponent.

"Come on, I've gained something recently. The next slash will definitely determine the winner!" said Dave excitedly.

When Daniel heard this, he could not help but shout coldly, "As you wish, the winner will be decided in one move!"

The two of them seemed to have reached an agreement at the same time. Hence, they raised their blades and charged at each other.

"Shadow blotting out the sun!" shouted Daniel. His speed soared once again, leaving a series of afterimages behind him.

There were afterimages of Daniel running everywhere in the sky and on the gra.s.s. At this moment, it was as if there were countless Daniels raising their blades at Dave at the same time!

Catherine, who was watching the battle, could not help but clench her hands nervously because she could not tell which of the countless afterimages in front of her was the real Daniel. His blade seemed really dangerous!

Meanwhile, Vincent had also become nervous. He could tell at a glance which was the real Daniel. However, what made him truly worried was how Dave was going to deal with this deceptive attack.

Moreover, with Vincent's sharp eyes, he could tell that Daniel did not hold back at all. If Dave could not withstand it, then what awaited him was either death or a serious injury!

Vincent could not help but to grab onto his Return Journey of the Dead. As long as he was certain that Dave was unable to block the attack, he would immediately draw his blade to stop the duel between the two.

Dave did not close his eyes like before. He did not avoid the chaotic scene in front of him. Instead, his eyes were wide open, carefully scanning the afterimages around him. He was searching for Daniel's real body.

Unfortunately, Dave's actual combat experience was too limited. In the face of such a magical attack, it was impossible for him to find a flaw in it in a short period of time. However, there was no retreat or helplessness in Dave's eyes, instead, there was an endless fighting spirit!

This was because he had always remembered Vincent's advice in his heart. Moreover, he had always been trying to find a way to fuse the power of faith with the blade technique. Dave had a glimmer of inspiration. He knew that this battle was the best opportunity to prove his inspiration.

Dave roared loudly, "Conquer the world!"

The blade in his hand began to flip in an instant. Demonic aura soon condensed on the blade, forming a ten-meter-long blade that could pierce through the sky and earth.

As the blade in Dave's hand continued to flip, the ten-meter-long blade completely destroyed the afterimages that filled the sky!

Although Dave had not found Daniel's real body, he had cut off all the afterimages in the shortest time possible. This way, he did not have to worry about not finding Daniel!

"Clang!"

A heavy collision sound was heart. A black shadow instantly flew out of Dave's attack range. It laid on the ground for a long time and did not stand up. It was Daniel, who had launched a fatal attack on Dave earlier!

After seeing that victory and defeat had been decided, Dave sheathed his knife. The ten-meter-long blade instantly disappeared along with the terrifying aura of the Demon Race.

As a teacher, Vincent could not help but nod his head in satisfaction when he saw the scene. He sighed in a deep voice, "Very good! He can withdraw and release freely, and his fighting spirit is high. The current Dave has already obtained the essence of the blade technique. In time, he will definitely be a powerhouse of a region!"

Monica and Catherine, who were at the side, could not help but applaud excitedly when they heard this.

However, Dave did not turn around to celebrate with the crowd. Instead, he strode forward and helped Daniel up from the ground. He said to him softly, "You are very strong, but you do not have the determination to defeat me. You can be considered to have shown mercy to me. Thank you!"
