Chapter 68: Demon Scythe
Su Xiao walked up to the two demon scythes and touched one of them with his finger.
[Prompt: Yes/No to bind the growth-type weapon 'Demon Scythe·Habodiya (Gold)'.]
[Before binding a growth-type equipment, it cannot be stored in the storage space.]
[After binding a growth-type equipment, this equipment cannot be sold.]
[Upon the user's death, there is a 93% chance that the growth-type weapon will drop.]
Seeing this series of prompts, Su Xiao narrowed his eyes. He had obtained a very dangerous piece of information: 'Upon the user's death, there is a 93% chance that the growth-type weapon will drop.'
Dragon-Slaying Flash was a growth-type weapon, meaning that if Su Xiao died, his enemy would have a high probability of obtaining it.
[Detected that the Hunter has already bound a growth-type equipment. Can simultaneously bind growth-type equipment: 1/3.]
This was another crucial piece of information. Each person could bind up to three growth-type equipment simultaneously. Although growth-type equipment could not be sold, they could be melted down. So far, Su Xiao had never heard of anyone melting down growth-type equipment.
[Yes/No to bind the growth-type weapon 'Demon Scythe·Habodiya (Gold)'. If not bound, this weapon will disappear in 25 minutes and 18 seconds.]
Just as Su Xiao was contemplating how to handle the two demon scythes, a female voice suddenly sounded in his ear.
"Choose me. I am superior to that broken blade at your waist."
Hearing this voice, Su Xiao was startled, then quickly understood what was happening.
"No wonder it's called a demon scythe. So that's how it is."
Su Xiao looked at the two demon scythes on the ground. These two scythes possessed consciousness.
"Human, you have defeated my previous host. You are stronger than her, so you are qualified to become my new host. This is your honor."
The demon scythe, or rather the demon scythe spirit Habodiya, began to tempt Su Xiao. Judging by Habodiya's tone, Su Xiao obtaining her was something to be celebrated.
Undoubtedly, these two demon scythes were troublesome. Rose used these scythes before transforming, but after transforming, she no longer fought with them in hand.
Compared to fists, demon scythes naturally had stronger attack power, yet Rose still chose to fight bare-handed, even though she possessed a growth-type weapon.
Many signs indicated that this demon scythe might not have been cultivated by Rose. The consciousness within the scythe would not completely obey her, and might even rebel against her. Su Xiao still remembered one of Rose's previous words:
'Habodiya, stop struggling. You cannot defeat me.'
The demon scythe's name was indeed Habodiya. After Rose transformed, she had attempted to erode Rose's consciousness, thereby turning the tables and taking control.
Su Xiao began to carefully examine the demon scythes on the ground. The scythes had sharp blades, about 50 centimeters in length. To some extent, a scythe also belonged to the blade category.
Thinking of this, Su Xiao's eyes seemed to gleam.
"Your name is Habodiya?"
Su Xiao's finger touched the demon scythe, attempting to communicate with the scythe spirit.
"That's right."
The demon scythe spirit Habodiya was very arrogant.
"What you said before was correct. Obtaining you is indeed my good fortune."
A gentle smile appeared on Su Xiao's face. Bubu Wang beside him sighed, silently mourning for the two demon scythes on the ground for a few seconds.
"Eh~"
Habodiya was slightly surprised, then also softened her attitude, no longer as arrogant as before.
"Human, you have good judgment. Choose me, and I will become your strongest ability."
"Of course... I can."
Su Xiao activated the Cyan Steel Shadow Energy within his body, had Amu stand behind him, and tossed Apollo to Bubu Wang.
This was a precautionary measure. If the situation changed, Amu would immediately restrict Su Xiao's movements, and Bubu Wang would use Apollo to destroy the demon scythes.
[Prompt: You have bound 'Demon Scythe·Habodiya'.]
As soon as Su Xiao bound Demon Scythe·Habodiya, a blood-red mist surged toward his arm. Amu's two large hands grabbed Su Xiao's arms. Su Xiao was currently severely injured, and his condition would decline until his wounds healed. Amu's 75 points of strength attribute was enough to restrict Su Xiao's movements.
The blood-red mist surged into Su Xiao's arm, and a consciousness invaded his body from his arm.
"Human, your choice is very correct."
It was Habodiya's voice. After her consciousness entered Su Xiao's body, she immediately tried to invade his brain, thereby suppressing Su Xiao's consciousness and turning the tables.
Wishes were beautiful, but reality was cruel.
As soon as Habodiya entered Su Xiao's body, she detected a light blue energy. She didn't care about this light blue energy at first.
"Ah!!"
With a scream, Habodiya rushed out of Su Xiao's body and retreated back into the demon scythe.
"What... what the hell is that thing?"
Habodiya's voice was tinged with fear. Clearly, she had been identified by the Cyan Steel Shadow Energy as an invading foreign consciousness, which was indeed the case.
Su Xiao raised an eyebrow. Things seemed simpler than he had imagined. He had successfully bound these two demon scythes. Strangely, he could not use them.
Su Xiao didn't care about this. He had no intention of using these two scythes in battle.
Demon Scythe·Habodiya's conspiracy had failed, and the atmosphere was noticeably awkward.
"Human, you have passed my test. Now you are qualified to use me."
Habodiya tried to ease the awkwardness. Since she was now Su Xiao's weapon, if she couldn't do anything to him, how to deal with her was entirely up to Su Xiao's whim.
Facing this demon scythe spirit that always harbored malice, Su Xiao's expression did not change. The smile on his face remained 'gentle.'
Su Xiao certainly wouldn't fall out directly with 'a large amount of Blade Edge Value.' After returning to Reincarnation Paradise and promoting Dragon-Slaying Flash to Gold quality, ha...
For now, he had to stabilize the demon scythe spirit. Although the Cyan Steel Shadow Energy could prevent Su Xiao from being eroded by Demon Scythe·Habodiya, she might have other abilities.
Su Xiao picked up the two demon scythes from the ground. The attributes of the demon scythes appeared.
