Second World

Chapter 1532 Chapter 1532. Legendary-grade Storm Breaker

When the divine sword of valor was absorbed by Storm Breaker, the sword broke apart. Jack wasnʼt surprised. The weapon would become legendary grade, he expected some sort of an animation to accompany the transformation.

Storm Breaker broke into multiple parts the way it was when it was in Overlimit State. The power orb at the center of the formation thumped with rhythmic pulses. The light emitted by the orb became brighter and slowly enshrouded the entire sword. Jack could no longer see the sword.

After a few seconds, the light shrunk. Jack could already see the shape of his sword, but the light was still covering it. The black surface of Storm Breakerʼs blade was not visible. From the shape, he could see that the sword had become longer again, but it was also slimmer. The light enshrouding the sword continued to dim.

Jack waited. He expected the process to end any moment now and he could see the familiar black sword again. After a while, he realized that the process had ended some time ago. The light had dimmed but it remained. The light was part of the sword.

Storm Breaker was no longer the black sword with thin golden lines along its blade. It was now a golden sword with soft light constantly emitted from its blade.

Jack grabbed the still-floating sword at its hilt. As he touched the sword, he felt power coursing through his hand. He sensed rich mana throughout the sword. He knew then that even without using mana manipulation, this swordʼs slash would deliver damage as if someone used mana manipulation.

The sword also reacted upon Jackʼs touch. Dark-gold lightning sparked from the hilt and ran along the length of the blade. Jack sensed excitement. It was as if the sword was alive.

Jack looked at the swordʼs stats and set its abilities. He found that all the selectable passive abilities had also improved.

All of Storm Breakerʼs aspects had increased. Its base physical damage was higher than the divine sword of valor it was fed. Its attack speed had increased again. He didnʼt feel any weight from the sword at all. He didnʼt even feel as if he was holding a sword, which wasnʼt necessarily a good thing. He had gotten used to Storm Breakerʼs previous weight. Now, he would have to adjust himself to this new sword.

Its Overlimit ability had again improved. It now dealt more additional chaos damage and its reach was increased. It would be like he was holding a spear during Overlimit. The duration was also one minute longer.

”Sweet sword, boss… I bet you are now even scarier than before,” The Man remarked.

”Never even think that was possible until now,” Bowler added.

”Nail it, man. Haha,” The Man gave Bowler his palm. The two high-fived while laughing.

Jack ignored the two Jokers. He slashed this new Storm Breaker around. There had always been wind energies circling his sword due to the Orb of Eurus, but this time his slashes also generated additional winds.

He swung the sword harder. There was a clear line in the air where Storm Breaker had slashed past. That line remained for some time. It was as if the air itself was cut.

Fascinated, Jack went a step further. He focused his mana and performed the One-word Slash. A sonic boom was heard following his slash. The noise startled those around, but one person was more startled compared to the others. This was because he suddenly lost more than half of his life.

”Arrgh…!” That person was The Man. He fell backward clutching his arm as if something had hit him. ”Why did you do that, boss?!” He yelled.

”What skill was that?” Bowler asked. Jack was standing more than five meters away from The Man when he slashed, but Bowler didnʼt see any animation that usually followed a skill.

”I didnʼt use any skill,” Jack replied. ”It is just a normal slash. Well, not exactly normal. I used a sword art with that slash, but I never expected it to hit a distant target. Iʼm sorry.”

”Ugh. Well, luckily it hit me instead of this scrawny guy,” The Man pointed at Bowler. ”He would have been sent straight to the resurrection chapel.”

”Um… If you no longer need us, I just remember I have something need doing,” Bowler said.

”Uh… I also just remember. I think sister Jeanny gave us an errand,” The Man said. ”Sorry, boss. Gotta run. Congratulations on that sweet sword. See you!”

The two ran to the entrance.

Jack shook his head and ignored the two. He returned his attention to his sword. ”Well, I promised before that Iʼm going to make you the strongest sword, didnʼt I? I can still increase your level. But in general, I think we can agree that Iʼve fulfilled that promise. Now, let us see what you got in store, shall we?”

Jack used Spirit Weapon.
