“You have to think this through. I’m one of the best gambling masters. I rarely make mistakes. No one wants to waste a page in their summoning scripture. How about this? I’ll give you 10,000 gold coins if you decide not to hatch the egg.”
The old man said loudly.
His words attracted people’s attention. To some, their dignity meant everything while to others, they preferred money. One could live a carefree life with ten thousand gold coins. It was a tempting offer.
“I’m willing to be the test subject! I still have a blank page in my summoning scripture.”
“No, choose me. I don’t even have a single pet yet.”
However, the old man ignored everyone. In the end, it was still the woman’s choice.
“I appreciate your kindness, but I’m going to take the risk.”
The woman had a determined look in her eyes. She bit her finger and prepared to form a bond with the pet egg.
Her face turned pale during the process. It was not easy to form a bond with a saint-grade pet. Even though the woman’s expression showed pain, she was very happy.
The higher the grade of a pet egg, the harder it would be to form a bond.
“I’m sure I’ve made the right decision.”
The girl ran out of spiritual power. She took out a bottle of purple potion and immediately drank it to replenish her spiritual powers.
As for the old man, he was very anxious.
‘Why is this taking so long? Was I wrong?’
More and more people gathered. They all looked very excited. Everyone knew why the woman was having such a hard time hatching the egg.
Hatching an egg was an intriguing scene. It did not happen very often either.
Finally, the eggshell cracked. It made a very loud noise that caused everyone to cover their ears.
The pet within was definitely very strong.
‘Boom!’
Pieces of eggshells were scattered everywhere.
A small purple-colored head appeared.
Everyone was shocked.
“Isn’t this a purple-winged eagle king?”
“It is!”
“No way, I thought they were extinct?”
“This proves that they aren’t.”
“It’s a saint-grade pet. Seems like the old man is not as accurate as he claimed to be.”
“Yea, he was defeated by a child.”
The crowd was really envious of the beautiful woman.
Meanwhile, the woman excitedly picked up the purple-winged eagle king. Tears were rolling down her cheeks. She won the gamble. Barely anyone owned a saint-grade pet. Her future was bright. She could form connections and rise to the top.
“I can’t believe how lucky I am.”
‘She’s so happy over a trashy saint pet?’
Once again, Luo Chen could not help himself but be a cocky prick.
“Thank you so much. I really appreciate it. My Name is Zi Xuan. Can you tell me your name? I won’t forget you.”
“You’re welcome. My name is Luo Chen”
Luo Chen picked up the soul weapon, also known as Shura’s blade, and left.
The old man stared at him resentfully.
“I’ll remember you.”
Zi Xuan silently muttered.
…
Luo Chen found an inn and decided to rest there. After that, he took out the soul weapon. He pulled out a strand of his hair and blew it towards the blade. In an instant, the hair was sliced in half.
“Amazing!”
Luo Chen was very happy. He only dared to gently caress the blade because he was afraid that he would cut himself.
Despite that, he was still clumsy and ended up cutting his finger. Blood began flowing out.
The blade immediately absorbed all his blood. Not a single drop was spared.
‘Clang!’
The blade was vibrating non-stop. It also emitted a red light.
Suddenly, a beautiful woman flew out from the blade. She slowly opened her eyes. Then, she began to suck Luo Chen’s bleeding finger without stopping.
“Quit it! I’ll die if you keep this up!”
Luo Chen tried to push the woman away, but his hand phased through her body.
This woman was not alive.
Luo Chen’s vision began to blur. He had lost a lot of blood.
‘I can’t just sit still and wait for death.’
He took out his summoning scripture and shouted, “Take this!”
The summoning scripture emitted a gold light. It sucked the woman and the blade into one of its pages.
An image of a short knife appeared on the back of the second page.
‘Shura’s blade is a weapon from hell. Anyone who touches it will die. The blade can also permanently kill summoned beasts. Even if they returned to the summoning scripture, they would not be revived. Wounds caused by this blade will also never heal. If you want to use this blade, you have to offer it some blood. Otherwise, things might backfire.’
“What a sinister blade.”
Luo Chen quickly checked his injured finger. Although it was a small cut, his life would be in danger if he continued to bleed out. Fortunately for him, the bleeding had stopped.
He was scared out of his wits, just like a wimp.
Fear lingered in his mind as he looked at the blade. Shortly after, he closed the summoning scripture.
‘I have to be extremely careful if I want to use this blade.’
“Waiter, I’d like to order some meat and wine.”
Luo Chen needed some food to replenish his energy.
“Coming right up!”
The waiter placed his food on the table and was about to leave.
“Wait, do you know if there are any divine pets nearby?”
