Chapter 448 Intelligent Weapons
Suddenly, as the shovel evolved, a voice echoed from somewhere.
"Huh? Who did just talked now?" Rita wondered.
"It sounded like a bratty girl." Said Mark.
"Hey! Who are you calling bratty girl you city boy? Want me to slam those ass cheeks of you with my tip or something? Well not like I would mind!"
The voice only continued to get more bratty and increasingly horny.
"Hey! It\'s me! Come on, I am talking RIGHT HERE." The Shovel suddenly began shining brightly.
"I-I can\'t believe you\'re talking." I sighed. "Not even in Arcadia this happened…"
"Hahahah, that\'s because I\'ve been given a name by Gaia herself! That pretty lady from another world!" Laughed the shovel. "Thing is, I do remember being a normal shovel too. Like how I was used to clean the horse poop, or how I was used to dig the ground, hell, I even remember when I was made out of wood in the factory! Hahh, brings me tons of nostalgia."
"It unexpectedly has a personality very similar to the Great Spirit." Mark sighed. "Does Gaia always creates spiritual beings with personalities like these?"
"Hey!" Irene got angry.
It was hard to accept but the shovel began talking and everything. I guess she\'s really an Intelligent Weapon now.
"N-Nice to meet you, Irene. I hope you can behave a bit better, let\'s get along." I said with a smile.
"Well sure, if a pretty girl like you asks for it I\'m all for being a better person myself, Elayne!" Irene giggled.
"You talk so personally with me, d-do you really remember being a shovel?" I wondered.
"Yeah, like, I remember you since you were a tiny little baby girl and all! I am actually the oldest shovel in your whole house." Irene laughed. "Ahh, you were so cute and small back then, you\'ve grown into a beautiful woman too!"
I can\'t believe this shovel sounds like an aunt to me now…
"A-Ahahah, well I am glad." I sighed.
"So anyways! Can I get everyone\'s names? My memories are a bit fuzzy and all." Irene said.
Like that, I had to introduce everyone to Irene.
"I see, the gang is truly here then!" She laughed. "Hey why is that floating carrot not talking to me?"
"I can\'t believe Lady Gaia created a copy of me into your shovel!" The Great Spirit felt offended.
[The Divinity [All Mother of Life and Souls] says that she didn\'t made a copy of her, just another Spirit.]
Oh, I see! So Irene is actually a spirit fused into my shovel, interesting. So it is like a weapon spirit or something? I can\'t really get it but I suppose that\'s a nice thing.
"This is awkward but let\'s get over it." Mark sighed. "Let\'s improve our weapons as well. And should we get into making the rings too?"
"Yep! Let\'s get going!" I said.
"Ooooh! Maybe your weapons may begin talking too!" Irene felt excited.
"I hope not…" Rita said. "I don\'t want a lousy gun talking to me…"
"I… Well, I wouldn\'t mind it I guess." Mark sighed.
Like that, their weapons were improved using a variety of low-quality materials, both from Arcadia and from here. The power of Spirit Fusion and Spirit Infusion were the pillars of these creations, as these powers allowed for the easy fusion of items.But how does it exactly work? Well, the trick is rather simple, by imbuing a spirit into an item, it is then qualified as a spirit. Then I use Spirit Fusion on the spirit-imbued items and then they fuse. It is like a cheat but it actually just works as intended.
[You have evolved the [Smith & Wesson 442 Handgun (D Rank Magic Weapon)] into a [Lethal Black Reaper Handgun (C Rank Magic Weapon)]!]
[The [Potential Cube (D)] has improved the weapon\'s Potential and added two new Potential Lines: [Defense Ignore: 25% (D)] and [Bullet Time (D)]!]
[The Improved Existing Potentials have become: [DEX +15% (D)] -> [AGI & DEX +15% (D)] [Mana Bullet (D)] -> [Elemental Bullet (D)]
[The Divinity [Dark Lady Dressed By The Night] has granted a name to your Weapon [Onyx]!]
[The Named Weapon has begun to develop a will of its own…]
[The Weapon acquired the [Intelligent Weapon (C)] Ability!]
"Ooh, it gained a lot of abilities…" I explained Rita what they were while she was terrified by her gun talking to her.
"Hey, you said something about not wanting a lousy gun talking to you, huh? Rita I can\'t believe you\'re saying this after all the time we\'ve spent together!" Onyx said. "Traitor! I will tell your husband."
"Nooo! Wait, please let\'s get along! Also are you a girl?" Rita wondered. "I imagined you would have a manly voice…"
"What\'s wrong with me being a girl?!" The gun got angrier. "Guns can be girls too!"
And while the two were talking about nonsense…
[You have evolved the [Expert Hunting Knife (D Rank Magic Weapon)] into a [Blazing Dragon Tooth Knife (C Rank Magic Weapon)]!]
[The [Potential Cube (D)] has improved the weapon\'s Potential and added two new Potential Lines: [Lesser Dragon Flame (D)] and [Slashing Power +25% (D)]!]
[The Improved Existing Potentials have become: [AGI +12% (D)] -> [STR & AGI +13% (D)] [Aura Slash (D)] -> [Twin Slash (D)]
[The Divinity [Furious King of Blazing Flames] has granted a name to your Weapon [Ignis]!]
[The Named Weapon has begun to develop a will of its own…]
[The Weapon acquired the [Intelligent Weapon (C)] Ability!]
"I-Incredible, it became a dragon knife with the Drakon Tooth we added?!" Asked Mark in shock. "It was a fairly low quality one too, and even then thanks to the Fire God\'s powers it evolved into this… incredible."
"Yeah, praise my lord some more!" Laughed the knife. "Congratulations, you\'re barely qualified to hold me with your weak hands, human!"
This knife was just as cocky as the other weapons.
