Chapter 367 Mission: The Awakened Demon Sword (Repair)
The time in a fantasy world is limited, and Luo Jie cannot waste too much time and energy in a branch of "Hina Grange", so he must make choices about the hidden tasks here.
Therefore, after repeated considerations, Luo Jie gave up some hidden tasks that were not in line with his development direction, retaining only two of them.
The first is the [Kami-ryu Swordsmanship] mastered by "Motoko Aoyama".
The other is the [Demon Sword Hinata] in front of me.
[Shencry Style Swordsmanship] is not a high-level skill. It only has special attack effects on evil spirit creatures. It is also relatively easy to obtain. You only need to maximize the favorability of "Motoko Aoyama".
And this [Demon Sword Hinata] is an incredible thing.
It was mentioned in the original work of "The Innocent Landlady and the Beautiful Tenant" that the power of this [Demon Sword Hinata] once plunged Kyoto into a sea of fire, and even nearly wiped out the entire Kamura-ryu army and ended the inheritance.
Of course, the items appearing in the illusion cannot exceed the level of the illusion itself. This is an iron rule that all illusion items must abide by.
Due to the restriction of the fantasy level, [Demon Sword Hinata], which was so praised in the original work, was also suppressed to the D-gold level.
However, in the previous life, this [Demon Sword Hinata] was a knife that almost all sword players were eager to pursue, and its value even rivaled that of S-class weapons.
All because it is said that this weapon has an extremely heaven-defying weapon skill - "Ghost Devouring".
According to rumors, this knife can improve its own level by swallowing spiritual bosses. In other words, in theory, the quality of this knife can be infinitely improved.
However, this does not mean that this [Demon Sword Hinata] is a perfect sword weapon.
The skill "Ghost Devouring" is not to destroy, but is similar to sealing. However, in the process of using [Demon Sword Hinata], the user will always be corroded by the evil thoughts of the ghosts and gods on the blade. The higher the level of the ghosts and gods sealed, the more powerful the sword will be.
It is difficult to control. If you are not careful, you may be controlled by evil thoughts, or even be counterattacked by ghosts and gods, destroying your will and taking over your body.
In short, this knife is actually a double-edged sword that can hurt others and yourself. It is only suitable for gamblers and players who need to quickly improve their strength in a short period of time and are willing to risk their lives for this.
If you just want to improve your strength step by step, it's best to stay away from this demon sword.
In this life, with the [Demi-human] bloodline as a bug-level cheat, Luo Jie would naturally not risk being taken away from him by using this [Demon Sword Hinata].
He just wanted to see if he could get this legendary sword, whose name he had only heard of but never seen in his previous life, to enrich his warehouse of trading goods.
Luo Jie took out the black samurai sword from the wooden box, grabbed the handle with his right hand and pulled it out hard.
Um?
In the original work, the [Demon Sword Hinata] that had been pulled out by "Keitaro Urashima", "Naru Narusegawa" and many others was as if it had been welded to death in his hands.
Not moving at all.
At the same time, a line of system prompts appeared in Luo Jie's visual projection.
[The mission item "Demon Sword Hinata" was found, do you/do you want to accept the related mission? 】
[Special reminder: This task is extremely difficult. Once you accept it, you cannot give up halfway. Players are advised to do it according to their ability.]
Luo Jie's brows slowly wrinkled.
Although the fantasy system is sometimes a little rough, its integrity is absolutely guaranteed. The difficulty of any task where such a special reminder appears is definitely the limit of the power system of the fantasy world, or even exceeds it.
Luo Jie pondered for a moment and then calmed down.
Being cautious is a good thing, but if you have the trump card of [Asian] blood and you still have to look forward and backward when things happen, what's the difference between you and the useless me who lived by myself in the last life?
"accept."
[Activation mission - "Awakened Demon Sword"]
[Task description: The hundred-year-old seal is old and worn out. The demon in the sword is about to awaken. For the sake of peace and tranquility in future generations, lift the seal of the demon sword and bravely defeat the ferocious demon. 】
[Mission reward: "Demon Sword Hinata".]
[Special reminder: "Demon Sword Hinata" will automatically possess the first person to unlock the seal, and increase the level of awakening by absorbing other people's energy. The higher the level of awakening, the higher the quality of the mission reward. Please measure according to the actual situation.
Let’s do it.】
It turns out that the content of the mission is this...
Luo Jie vaguely remembered that in the original work of "The Innocent Landlord and the Pretty Tenant", the "Demon Sword Hinata" was unintentionally pulled out by "Narusegawa Naru", and was then possessed by a demon, absorbing "Aoyama Motoko"'s sister "Aoyama Tsuru"
The essence of "Kingtaro Urashima" later possessed "Keitaro Urashima", and was finally re-sealed back to "Demon Sword Hinata" by "Motoko Aoyama" using the "Kami-ryu Demon-Slaying Sword 2nd Taito".
Obviously, the content of this mission corresponds to this plot in the original work.
However, due to the consistent nature of the system, this mission will never be as trivial as in the original work. The mere fact that he cannot pull out the [Demon Sword Hinata] is enough to show that the mission has been modified by the devil.
Just like in the original work, "Motoko Aoyama" did not recognize this demonic sword that had almost wiped out the "Shen Ming Ryu". However, as the heir to a family of exorcists, she still had the vision. When she saw Luo Jie, she immediately drew the sword.
He reminded: "Don't touch it. There is a seal on this knife. There is probably some kind of demon sealed inside."
Luo Jie said cautiously, I want to pull it out, but the problem is that it can't be pulled out at all... I guess this is a restriction specially set by the system to prevent players from accidentally pulling it out and causing the mission to fail at the beginning.
"Well, thanks for reminding me."
Luo Jie calmly put away the [Demon Sword Hinata] and restored the layout of the shrine to its original state.
…
Returning to the apartment with [Demon Sword Hinata], as soon as I entered the corridor on the second floor, I saw "Shimohira Reika" standing at the door of the administrator's room from a distance. It seemed that she had been waiting for a while.
"Linghua, why didn't you call me?" Luo Jie asked strangely.
"Shimohira Reika" glanced at "Motoko Aoyama" who was following behind her, smiled meaningfully, and said with a pun: "I'm afraid of disturbing Nightmare-kun while you are doing your business."
Luo Jie knew that "Xiaping Linghua" would not come to him for no reason, so he turned to "Motoko Aoyama" and said, "Motoko, that's all for today's work."
"Motoko Aoyama" was eager to leave Luo Jie's side. After hearing this, she immediately ran away as if she had received an amnesty, as if she was afraid that Luo Jie would go back on his word.
"Xiaping Linghua" looked away from the embarrassed back of "Motoko Aoyama", smiled at Luo Jie and said: "You are a very cute little girl, have you never thought of using one of the Blood Bride quotas, Lord Nightmare?"
"'Motoko Aoyama' has high potential, but this is not her peak period after all. The Blood Bride is not a tool for my enjoyment. I can't waste it on her just because she is cute." Even though I know that "Reika Shimohira" is just
He was joking, but Luo Jie still answered seriously: "Besides, she is only fifteen years old now, so I am not that crazy."
