A group of 4 emerged from a manhole behind a certain flowershop in the city.
"Ew, I am never going down there again" Titania, who had never heard of the term has regretted her experience inside one.
Risha held a twig bow in her hands. Yes. A bow made out of twigs and a floppy unsecure string. It looked barely to be able to be pulled, much less hold an arrow.
"What's this useless junk?" Michelle asked. She had thought of it to be something amazing, and it would go like boom. A sudden transformation into a really nice weapon.
But instead, it was just a useless weapon. Even as a god, the soul weapon didn't appear to have a single hint of hosting a soul inside it. She peered into the weapon, and didn't actually see anything living inside.
"I think that that information broker just cheated you" she told Dominic. Who had full trust in the information broker, and immediately refuted her opinion.
"Nah, there has to be something about the bow.." Dominic said.
"Actually, have you tried pulling the bow?" Dominic asked Risha.
"No, I was afraid that it might break" she said.
"Just do it" Dominic urged her.
Then, as the bow was drawn, spirits from the surroundings were flying towards it at a tremendous rate. Naturally, to Risha, it just appeared as though there was a white glow and it was converging onto the bow. There was no transformation, nothing. However, the bow simply felt more durable.
Unlawfully taken from Royal Road, this story should be reported if seen on Amazon.
Without an arrow, a white arrow glowed forming from nowhere, armed on the twig bow.
Of course, to thoese who could see it, it was an arrow made out of a few spirits. A literal soul weapon. Instead of the weapon possesing a soul, it appeared as though it was a weapon made to shoot using the souls. What a play of words.
Risha fired it off to the ground, and the arrow flew through in a straight line with suprising power.
Spectral arrows. Not sure about the damage, as it appeared to be dependent on the souls that it fires off.
"Its a magic bow that doesn't use magic?!" Risha was suprised.
Meanwhile, for thoese who could see the faces of the souls converging into an arrow had other thoughts about it.
"A sewer sure produces gross things" Titania said.
"?" Risha was confused.

"That's all for today, and tommorow, the city has decided that we will still continue on the adventure ." Mr David told them.
"Of course, your brother can just stay back here if he wishes to." he added on.
"So where are we going next?" asked Benedict.
"Well, in regards to that, they didn't say anything. So, I guess we could go and train at some nearby mountain. In fact, I heard a rumor that the top of Devil's peak is the prime location for training you inner Ki." Mr David said. And with that, it was decided where they would be going next.
Rumors. Perhaps one might wonder where they spread.
Just the night before, Mr David was settling his adult matters at a district which was commonly associated with the colour red.
"Oh, so you train in martial arts eh? What's a big strong man like you doing here?" the sweet words of a women in a soapland was pleasing to his ears.
"Have you heard of this? Apparently, at the top of Devil's peak, the concentration of Ki there is extremely high~" the women whispered in his ears.
Their legs intertwined and....
Just momments before, a hooded person had gave her some money to leak this information to David. Specifically David. he was a regular customer of hers after all. It didn't matter, if there was money to be made. That was the rule of the nightlife after all.
If the enemy was too strong, you simply have to get someone else strong enough to kill them. That was what they deemed of her after even Natas had failed to do so.
The hooded person left with a symbol of a pentagram and a star embed on his hand. The symbol of the demon Decarabia. the 69th demon of solomon.
