Chương 74: Gluttony

-----

This seems like an interesting weapon, and if it's my father's weapon, I might as well keep using it… he has yet to recover, so I will take as many demon lives as possible with it.

When he's finally awake, he'll have a powerful spear for himself.

…Or maybe I should just buy him a new and better spear with the money I have later, while keeping this one for myself.

Yeah, that sounds more reasonable.

Or well… the Imps also carried weapons themselves, each one of them held a sharp Javelin with themselves. That could be used by others too, and they were also soaked in Demon Blood and emanated strong presences.

In fact they were already Cursed? Or about to become cursed because they were overflowing with demon energy, they constantly used it over them.

Demonic Energy has the potential of cursing objects after all, which might strengthen them, but it makes them… well, hungry, as if they were alive.

The spear of my father had become one that doesn't affect me, but it is very hungry, and it seems to emanate an air that just wants to eat something.

Maybe even me if I don't feed it well.

Eleanora began to admire the spear, as she asked me if she could hold it.

"Can I hold it? The aura of darkness and pure dread it emanates its just so nice!" she said with a smile.

"Sure, I wonder if you cold practice your spear technique…" I said

I gave it to her and then…

SPARK!

As if negating itself from being held by anyone than myself, the spear released sparks of black lightning that scared Eleanora a bit.

"W-What is this?!" she asked.

The spear didn't wanted her to hold it, it felt as if it was trying to scare her away or attacking her.

And then the Grimoire acted…

[The Cursed Weapon has already chosen you as its only Owner]

[The Cursed Weapons desires a name given to it by its Owner]

Oh…

And it wants a name?

I've seen countless Cursed Weapons before, but this is the first time I see a weapon wanting a name from someone.

"It seems that the Cursed Weapon catalogued me as its owner, so it doesn't want to let it be touched by anyone than me…" I sighed.

"Oh, makes sense, I am also happy to be only yours," said Eleanora while nodding.

That sounded slightly worrying, and I don't know what to think about Eleanora seeing herself as something that wants to be owned by me… I better have heard it wrong or interpreted it weirdly. Yes, let's go with that, it is better to think that.

"It even wants a name all of the sudden…" I said.

"A name…? Maybe you could name it after a friend?" asked Eleanora.

"A friend from our past? Hm, well, their souls might be revived in the future through spirit summoning, so maybe not for now." I said.

"Then… I don't know." Said Eleanora.

"Gluttony." I said.

"Huh?" asked Eleanora.

"I'll name the Spear Gluttony, because it seems to be eager to eat…" I said.

"I-I guess that's a fair name!" said Eleanora.

[You have named your [Cursed Weapon] as [Gluttony]

[Gluttony] seems content with its name]

It likes the name at the very least…

The weapon exuded an even larger aura than before, and I couldn't help but wonder in what sort of thing would it become in the future. I had possessed many weapons in my previous life, many of them were Magic Weapons and Cursed Weapons.

After they're enhanced enough or go through a special awakening, these special weapons are capable of evolving and gaining new forms and capabilities, it could be the same for Gluttony.

"Gluttony is an interesting name… Is it hungry now? I wonder if it can devour the meat of the demons, perhaps we can feed it that." Said Eleanora.

"Hmm… Hold up." I said.

I quickly opened my bag once more and began to use Gluttony's blade to pierce the flesh of the corpses, their chests were carved open as I took out red-colored jewels one by one.

They were loaded with demonic energy, and indeed, these were Demonic Cores. I looked at them and immediately thought about Spirit Orbs.

If I can absorb them, can I absorb these?

I touched them and tried to focus.

The demonic energy flowed around me as it seemed to reject my body, even trying to damage my Qi Veins.

Hm…

FLASH!

I opened my eyes once more, as I realized it was too early to try to absorb these, I was able to assimilate demonic energy in my previous life, I used it to make Demonic Blood Qi, a special power capable of decimating demons with their own medicine.

But for now, manipulating demonic energy seems hard, maybe if I form my own demonic core… but that's impossible for the moment.

FLUOSH!

Meanwhile, Gluttony was trembling for some reason, as if it were going wild.

The moment I moved the demonic cores near it, it trembled even more.

Is it hungry? Does it wants to eat the cores?

How can it do that?

"Oh, is it hungry? Perhaps it can devour the Demonic Cores by piercing through them? It might be worth a try!" said Eleanora.

"Right…

I put the demonic cores in the floor and pointed Gluttony's blade at them, and then, attempted to pierce through one of them with the tip.

CLAAASH!

A sudden flash of red light came out, the core suddenly grew into glass-like material, as its entire power was completely drained, it even was left transparent, and it began to shatter into tiny sand pebble sized pieces.

The Grimoire quickly showed what happened, but I was already very sure that Gluttony had just devoured the Demonic Core…

[Gluttony] has devoured the [Demonic Core]!]

[Gluttony] has gained EXP]

[Gluttony] is growing stronger!]

Interesting… this is indeed a different Cursed Weapon than the ones I remember.
