Great Demon King

GDK 786: Throw a cherry on top

Sanguis started playing with his broadsword made from a Blood Crystal. He felt as though the broadsword had become a part of himself. Having an extension of himself in his hand felt amazing to Sanguis.

Han Shuo had removed all impurities from the Blood Crystal and reshaped it to be a broadsword. But as Han Shuo did not know the uses of Blood Crystal detailedly, that was all that he could do. Sanguis must figure out the rest by himself.

“Though I have formed the sword, you must find a way to form a bond with the weapon. The usual technique of dripping your blood in it probably won’t work in this case. You’ll have to figure that out by yourself,” Han Shuo said to Sanguis after thinking for a moment.

“I don’t have to do that; It has already become a part of me!” replied Sanguis excitedly. The broadsword then abruptly disappeared into Sanguis as he chuckled. Then, a moment later, the broadsword reappeared from his chest and flew into his hand.

Being able to store a demonic weapon into his body meant that Sanguis has successfully connected his mind with the broadsword. Although Han Shuo had absolutely no clue how Sanguis managed to accomplish that, he was very happy for Sanguis.

Han Shuo nodded and said, “Very good. You have now truly become the master of the broadsword. You may give it a name. Make sure to learn and explore all its uses!” Han Shuo thought for a moment and continued, “Every precious demonic weapon possesses an infinite potential to evolve. Once a demonic weapon improved to a certain level, a spirit will take shape. You should keep an eye on that. This broadsword is much more bizarre than Bollands’ flying sword. I think it most likely will form a spirit of its own.”

“Yes, Master. I will do as you say!” Sanguis maneuvered his broadsword to squirm around his body as he explored the uses of the weapon. He tried to form an even deeper connection with the broadsword using Bloodgod Mantra.

Sanguis tirelessly communicated with the broadsword made using Blood Crystal. He was so engrossed in the new weapon that he seemed to have forgotten that Han Shuo was beside him.

Standing not far away, Rose continued to stare fixedly at Han Shuo.

Though that weak connection, Rose could effortlessly detonate her Pearls of Annihilation from several hundred meters away. If used correctly, the Pearls could even be a lifesaver during an emergency.

However, it appeared that Rose had no intention to make practical use of the Pearls. It seemed as though she had taken the Pearls of Annihilation as a magnificent handicraft article. Under Rose’s demand, Han Shuo had no choice but to make holes on the Pearls with his demonic yuan and chain the Pearls into a bracelet using the elastic veins of a magical beast.

Rose was very contended. She constantly fiddled with the bracelet made of Pearls of Annihilation and appeared very happy.

Han Shuo was left between laughter and tears when he saw that Rose had taken the Pearls as an ornament. He wasn’t sure if Rose listened to his detailed explanation of how to use the Pearls. He thought, <i>Women’s minds are indeed unfathomable. She is actually treating this destructive weapon as jewelry just because it looked pretty!</i>

Time passed hurried. Half a month went by. One after another, the participating companies from the other six Corps arrived at Soaring Cloud Mountain Range.

Naturally, those from the House of Sainte, as the ruler of the City of Shadows and the organizer of the event, will not be absent. Wallace, Andre, Carmelita, and others arrived at the Mountain Range.

Three of the Seven Divine Guard Corps belonged to the House of Kinson, House of Kisa, and House of Buller. As the competition could affect the interests of their family clans, members of those three large family clans also came to the Mountain Range as observers. They would usually hang around with their Fourth Corp, Sixth Corp, and Seventh Corp. The Soaring Cloud Mountain Range suddenly turned lively.

Those from the Seven Corps would stay in seven separate regions around the Soaring Cloud Mountain Range throughout the competition. Wallace and Andre had divided and assigned those regions ahead of time. Members and representatives from the large family clans, Wallace included, would stay at the center-most region of the Mountain Range. They were in charge of handling any accidents throughout the competition.

Those newly arrived at the Mountain Range were astounded when they saw Han Shuo’s company. An emotion of vigilance appeared on their faces after they carefully sized up the divine guards of the Fifth Corps.

After having been ground and tempered by the Eight Desolation and Torment Formation, the divine guards of the Fifth Corps gained a distinctive stern and solemn aura. No matter from any angle, they do not look like a company made up of amateurish recruits. The crowd who originally felt that the Fifth Corps was destined to take the last place suddenly wasn’t so sure anymore.

Andre and Wallace inwardly praised in their heads. They became even more admiring of Han Shuo. His ability to train the Fifth Corps divine guards up to this level in such a short time was phenomenal. Even Wallace did not have the confidence of accomplishing this amazing feat.

“It seems that the Fifth Corps might not take the bottom place!” said Wallace after he turned to Andre who was standing abreast.

Andre nodded smilingly. Then, in a somewhat delighted manner, he suggested, “Elder brother, Carmelita is at the age of marriage. Why don’t we throw a cherry on top after the competition?”

Wallace stared blankly for a moment before he asked, “What do you mean?”

“The House of Han is rapidly rising in influence and power. Bryan even can injure Hofs of Hushveil City. If things continue to develop in this trend, it is only a matter of time before their interests overlap with our House of Sainte’s. In the end, the House of Han might leave the City of Shadows. However, if Carmelita is married to the youngster, everything will be easily solved! What do you think, brother?”

Wallace had not considered the possibility before. After hearing Andre’s words, Wallace sank deep in thought.
