CHAPTER 3112 BUSINESS OPPORTUNITY
At that point, everyone's expression became tense. Now, they finally believed that the stone was indeed a sealing stone and something was sealed beneath it.
Many cultivators extended their spiritual sense, trying to find out what was inside the hole.
Suddenly, plumes of black mist emerged from the hole. Immediately afterward. the mist dispersed and attacked the cultivators around the altar indiscriminately.This is the property of Nô-velDrama.Org.
Zordey and the others could only start defending themselves against the swirling black mist.
“What is this?” Jared asked. The black mist didn't reach them as they had positioned themselves quite far away. “Evil spirits. These are evil spirits.” Renault furrowed his brow at once.
“Evil spirits?” Jared was taken aback
“That's right. These are evil spirits. They're formed from ancient weapons with weapon souls. When these weapons were damaged in battle or their wielders died, these weapon souls became stranded here for a long period. In addition to the Night Sea's corrosive effects, these weapon souls turned malevolent over time and became evil spirits. Acquiring a weapon inhabited by an evil spirit is not a blessing. The evil spirit may possess the user and even endanger their life,” Renault explained to Jared.
Jared instantly thought of the sword spirit within his Dragonslayer Sword, Zelda. If Zelda were abandoned here for thousands of years, would she also become malicious and transform into an evil spirit?
“Why do these evil spirits seem so frenzied? It's as if they've lost all consciousness,” Jared couldn't help but remark as he watched Zordey and the others battling the evil spirits.
“Indeed. Most of these evil spirits are broken and fragmented, void of any consciousness. The weapon soul of an undamaged divine weapon would never degrade into evil spirits no matter how much time passed. Instead. they would refine themselves further. Only those wrecked weapon souls would devolve into mindless, bloodthirsty evil spirits. They know no fear of death as that concept is nonexistent to them,” Renault responded
Jared found his words to make sense. These evil spirits are weapon souls, to begin with. They don't possess a mortal body or life. Naturally, they aren't afraid of death. The loss of consciousness only serves to augment their fearlessness further.
Though not particularly powerful, those evil spirits were incredibly tenacious and troublesome to deal with, pestering their opponents relentlessly, which caused Zordey and the others to grow frustrated.
“These evil spirits are truly a handful, but could they, be the only entities sealed by thé sealing stone? nS Logicallycthis shouldn't be the case, The evit spi its are numerous but not very formidable. " Jared was bewildered. Was that sealingstone really meant to seal theseevil spirits only? ”
“Mr. Chance, regardless of what the sealing stone was supposed to seal, an opportunity has presented itself for us,” Renault said with a sly grin. “Opportunity? What opportunity?” Jared asked in confusion
“Hurry up and look at the ground where the fight is taking place.” Renault pointed
Jared shifted his gaze to the ground where Zordey-and the other
culti vators were battling the evil > spirits, ofly to notice an array of = weapons littered across the flor. sucktas swords, spears, pikes; heaks, and even some decérative DiAs and rings. Content bétongs to
The sight astounded Jared. There wasn't a thing on the ground earlier, so where did all these things come from all of a sudden?
“Old Mr. Seizon, what's going on?” Jared asked in bafflement.
“Mr. Chance, these are the primordial treasures left behind by the slain evil spirits. Once an evil spirit is killed-its corresponding treasure materializes. Now devoid Of a weaporr soul, these treasures can be f eely picked up. Although o darnaged in the ancient wars>these divie weapons still possess significant value. They are ancient divine weapons, after all. Moreover, the stronger the evil spirit, the more valuable its corresponding treasure.” Renault's eyes gleamed with excitement.
Jared glanced at Renault. As expected of a businessman. He has a knack for spotting business opportunities to make money in the most unexpected situations.
