"Confirm Merger," Elias commanded. He didn't use his bare hands this time, despite the old man initially believing that would be the case.
As he moved his left hand, he temporarily opened a storage portal and retrieved a smaller gun, quite different from the Sniper he had used before. The portal disappeared before the dagger could touch it, and the dagger struck the gun instead.
His instructions activated the moment the dagger touched the gun, resulting in the creation of a storm.
Elias wasn't at the core of the storm this time, so he quickly released the gun, which started going through the merger process with the core weapon of the mid-tier fable.
Holding the heavy sword in his hands, he rushed out of the storm, coming straight for the woman, who seemed like she had suffered a heavy injury at the loss of her core weapon.
