Chapter 220: Good Things Rarely Come Without A Price

With the War God's Sword in hand, Baiyi held the hilt and drew it closer and closer to the anomaly in the air, until the two came into contact.

The anomaly disappeared, but the air around it was still.

And at the bottom of the hilt, a brand-new carving — which looked oddly like a rune of some sort — surfaced.

"Is this… a sigil?" Baiyi's eyes traced the pattern carefully, then he blurted out.

Sigils — runes that were formed naturally, which stored mana or some form of basic magical properties. One could say that sigils were the origin of human's first step into sorcery because it was when humans sensed the vibrations emitted from sigils and mimicked their drawings into the very first sets of formations that men had learned to perform magic. Only after millennia of improvement and progress had formations be simplified into runes again.
