Chapter 8 - Black Furnace Demon Sword

Chapter 8 - Black Furnace Demon Sword

Erend has never worried about whether he can pass the suitability test of pure star-shaped weapons.

With the ultimate authority over weapons, no matter which pure star-shaped weapon is about to be selected, Erend has absolute confidence that he can pass the suitability test. The only problem is which pure star-shaped weapon to choose as his first exclusive weapon.

This is also where Erend hesitates.

Looking at the display images of pure star-shaped weapons appearing in front of him, Erend has never been able to make a decision.

"Since I have to choose, I naturally have to choose the best."

Pure star-shaped weapons are all far stronger than ordinary heavy-colour weapons without exception, but there is also a gap between pure star-shaped weapons themselves.

Putting aside issues such as output power and attack power, each pure star-shaped weapon is different in terms of special abilities alone.

Some pure star-shaped weapons have very inconspicuous abilities, such as being able to make people fly or being able to change the weight of the holder. It is not that they are useless, but it is also quite subtle to say how powerful they are.

Some pure star-shaped weapons have very strong abilities, such as being able to control sandstorms, control water flow, and even control gravity, or the minds of others. These abilities are very attractive.

Among the 22 pure star-shaped weapons currently held by Durmstrang Academy, in addition to the seven that have been borrowed, the remaining 15 are strong, some are weak, the strong ones are very strong, and the weak ones are very weak.

In this case, Erend certainly wants to take the strongest one.

Anyway, he does not need to consider the problem of suitability or whether the abilities are compatible with his own. So, of course, he should try to choose the strongest one.

But...

"Looking around, it seems that this one is the strongest..."

Erend's eyes have been lingering on one of the many windows displayed in front of him.

Displayed on it is a sword.

A sword with a black hilt inlaid with red clean crystal, and a sword body that looks like a wave of flames.

This sword is very big, almost as tall as a person.

But in the display window, the output power, attack power, and special ability of this great sword are all exceptionally high—not to mention far superior to ordinary heavy-colour weapons, even ordinary pure heavy-colour weapons are difficult to match.

Among the fifteen pure heavy-colour weapons that Erend browsed and have not yet been borrowed, the data displayed by this sword is the strongest.

It is natural.

"This is one of the four-colour magic swords, the top pure heavy-colour weapon."

To be honest, Erend really wants to choose this one.

"But this is the pure heavy-colour weapon of the protagonist of the original work, right?"

This is what Erend is struggling with.

Now, the protagonist of the original work has not yet come to Durmstrang Academy.

He is a transfer student, and will transfer here one or two months before the start of this season's festivals, and he is still a special student.

At that time, he will have a chance to freely choose a pure star-shaped weapon.

The magic sword in front of him is the pure star-shaped weapon chosen by the protagonist in the original work.

Thinking of this, Erend hesitated a little.

But then, Erend decided again.

"Since I came first, there is no reason to hesitate for the future."

Today, if there were another pure star-shaped weapon of the same level as this one, Erend would give priority to the other one.

But now, the ability of the pure star-shaped weapon in front of him is uniquely strong. Even if some of the other pure star-shaped weapons are praised as being no less powerful than it in the introduction, in Erend's opinion, they are still not as good as the one in front of him.

This pure star-shaped weapon is very powerful and special, which attracts Erend very much.

Unfortunately, Erend is still in the initial stage and has no spare energy to give up.

The first exclusive weapon—its strength or lack thereof—directly determines what the final harvest of Erend's first life experience will be.

Should he lay a solid foundation and have a better life experience later, or should he give in for something that has not happened yet...?

There is no need to think about this at all.

"Sorry, brother, I can help you find your sister later."

After muttering this, Erend no longer hesitated and reached out, clicking on the window showing the dark magic sword.

"Ding!"

With the sound of the prompt, all the windows around Erend disappeared.

Claudia, who was watching from behind, was shocked to see the choice Erend made.

"You actually chose it?"

Claudia's expression was more uneasy than ever before.

"Why did you choose it?"

Claudia unconsciously pressed the ornament on her waist, and her expression became extremely uncertain.

Unfortunately, Erend's choice has been made, and things have already happened, and there will be no change.

"Swish!"

With a mechanical sliding sound, a cylindrical storage cabinet was put down in the ceiling above Erend's head.

The storage cabinet dropped directly in front of Erend, then opened automatically. Two mechanical arms extended from inside, holding a motor through the air and delivering it to Erend.

Erend stretched out his hand and took the motor into his palm.

The black hilt-shaped engine, with a red clean crystal inlaid on it as the core, was exactly the same as what Erend saw in the display window.

The core of the heavy-colour weapon, that is, the colour of the clean ore, is always green, and only the colour of the clean crystal is other colours besides green.

The existence of the red clean crystal itself tells others that this is a pure heavy-colour weapon, not an ordinary heavy-colour weapon.

"The measurement is ready, please start the pure heavy-colour weapon in your hand."

The staff's loudspeaker reminder came from the laboratory, and Erend nodded and started the black hilt-shaped engine in his hand.

"Emima!"

The red clean crystal on the engine suddenly burst into a dazzling bright red light, driving the clean element in the surrounding space, letting the clean element gather on the hilt.

The clean element began to materialize, and like a digital block that appeared out of thin air, it was combined and constructed at the front end of the clean crystal, forming an extremely heavy sword guard.

Then, the sword guard opened automatically like a machine, and the light-like sword body stretched out from it.

The blade was pure white and transparent, and it looked like a giant single-edged lightsaber.

Holding this overly huge sword, Erend's eyes flickered, and he couldn't help but call out its name.

"——[Black Furnace Demon Sword]."

Around, or rather in the laboratory separated by a layer of glass, the staff in white clothes were also slightly agitated.

"He chose the Black Furnace Magic Sword?"

"This is one of the top magic swords among all the pure star-brilliant weapons. He actually chose this?"

"That's too naive. I heard that no one has been able to use this magic sword for many years. He is an ordinary student who has not even entered the famous sacrifice book. He really thinks that he can conquer this thing by passing the loan review of the pure star-brilliant weapons with luck?"

A group of measurement personnel immediately became busy again.

In the back of the laboratory, Claudia also looked at Erend steadily, not knowing what she was thinking.

In this case, Erend closed his eyes.

No one knew that at this moment, he was actually listening to the movement of the pure star-shaped weapon in his hand.

Then, he heard it.

"The current suitability rate is 8%."

Erend opened his eyes and suddenly smiled.

"Do you really look down on me in this state?"

"Then... let's officially start!"
