"Moving forward borders on death. Only a cold mind can keep it in its sheath."
By repeating this aloud, he activated the mantra. This made his whole body vibrate, but only for a moment of utterance.
"That means it works. Well, it looks like my affinity for sword power isn't rubbish to say the least. The rest is not important yet, only in a big city can I understand something more clearly."
Finally taking out Tagiya (the sword that he got for top 1), he felt the coldness of the metal, and heaviness. The handle was made of warm wood, constantly maintaining the temperature, around the handle there was a dark scarlet snake that worked like shields for the hand, and the blade was thin like a needle and only half a meter long, it was made not of metal, but of stone that was translucent by the sun's rays . After examining the weapon, Mark realized that it was a sword. Moreover, it was very strange, since it weighed no less than a heavy sword of a two-handed sword.
Luckily I have an estimate.
***
Weapon type: Sword (noble)
Name: Tagiya
Item Rank: Rank 5 special rank(Unlimit)
Description: Thagiya's sword has a special history, it was previously owned by the vampire duke Tris El Mofontas, with the help of which she was able to hold her lands for nine centuries. But one day, for some unknown reason, she challenged the king of monsters, Zakhar, for the right to own the essence of the blood of an unranked creature.
For divulging this secret, she was killed in a duel, and all her legacy except for this sword was destroyed. The sword itself disappeared after the death of the mistress.
"Wow, noble, and unlimited. Stop, what… where is unlimited from, they belong to the series of ten unlimited. But why is he so weak.
"Hmm, if you remember all the swords from the series of unlimited were strange, each one is special in its own way. It remains to indulge in my wildest idea, and try. Saying this, he clenched his fist, opening a wound on his palm that had not yet healed to the end, starting to bleed. The sword in Mark's hand began to vibrate at that, as if begging for the whole drop like a drug addict.
Having done this, Mark allowed one drop to fall on the sword. From this, the sword vibrated even more, asking for more, ignoring everything that was said earlier.

– So you are a parasite that lives at the expense of the owner and becomes stronger with him, yes. Now I understand why Tris, like her one there, decided to challenge. But it turns out that I also need to look for the essence of the blood of the raimentless, haaaa SHELL.
"The worst thing is that the Parasite function is a bit dangerous, since every time you use the sword, blood is bound to spill, now the sword has just woken up and it doesn't require much, just a drop for the contract."
"But just let him wake up completely, he won't hold back. Now I can understand why the girl was looking for a drop of the essence of the unranked, apparently she owed the sword a lot, and she had to go to the bank."
- Damn, now I can only hold with one hand otherwise, Tagiya wake up. What a pain that he is so heavy.
He grunted, eventually standing up and starting to practice monotonous lunges, which gradually began to take the form of snake lunges. The sword itself, although it was sleeping, little by little influenced the manifestation of Mark's strength, slowly helping him adjust to himself.
After a couple of hours of relentless training behind Mark, you could see the shadow of a three-meter white snake, with each blow it hissed more and more. Everyone on the site began to slowly move away from Mark. And watching from the sidelines the phenomenon of the awakening of the force.
The phenomenon of the awakening of power is very rare, because it occurs only at the moment of combining a way of thinking and a perfectly matched tool to express it in a physical, real image.
Once again, Mark struck, for more than an hour he had been in a trance watching a white snake that hunted monsters of enormous size, each of them no smaller than a mountain. Yes, the snake itself was no less, just looking at its scales that covered the skin, anyone would have a frozen scalp. After all, every particle of the white snake's body was saturated with a dense, almost visible intent to kill.
Looking more closely, each scale was covered with a pattern, it was difficult to see it because the speed of the snake did not allow focusing. She constantly rushed from place to place, deciding to wait for the moment when she would freeze. Mark just watched the snake fight, finally the fight ended, apparently with the victory of the snake. Her teeth pierced the skin of a huge bear, successfully releasing the poison.
Traces appeared at the site of the bite almost instantly, which was indicative of how dangerous the poison was.
This is exactly what Mark was waiting for, he poured a small part of the manna that he had left after being transferred to the world of the snake into his eyes. It was at this moment that they finally showed their power, becoming a purple diamond shape.
Time seemed to stand still, and Mark began to visually zoom in on the drawing on the scales of the snake. The clarity slowly began to increase, at first it looked like a figure eight, looking closely you could see a snake taking the shape of a figure eight, in the center of the figure eight the snake held its tail in its mouth. At that moment, when he saw it, he was thrown out of the world of the snake.
He felt a severe headache, and a burning sensation that began to grow. It was incredible, it hurt. But these were only flowers, because when the burning sensation appeared on the left hand, all the headache seemed like a joke. He felt as if his soul was branded with white-hot metal.
And he was right, he now received full consent from the spirit of the snake that slept in the sword for his own use.
