"No — —!"
Along with the scream, the woman clutched her head and screamed in agony.
Her body began to tremble violently, and along with her movements, the entire tower began to shake again.
The magical runes in the room flickered and emitted irregular light.
Jenn obviously wouldn't let go of this opportunity. As soon as he saw the woman, he extended his hand. Jenn flipped his wrist and a pitch-black, worn-out, ancient cane appeared in his hand.
Shortly after, scarlet, sinister magical runes lit up one after another on the cane. Then, the black outer shell of the cane shattered and revealed the true body hidden within.
"Cyberlas!"
Upon seeing the ancient magic weapon in Jenn's hand, the woman in blue let out a heart-wrenching scream. Then, she flashed and tried to escape.
But it was a pity that it was too late. Before she could do anything, Cyberlas in Jenn's hand erupted with several black, tentacle-like existences that pounced on the woman in blue and bound her tightly.
"No, no, let go of me, let go of me!"
It was apparent that the woman was well aware of the power of Cyberlas as an ancient magic weapon. She struggled desperately in an attempt to break free from Cyberlas's restraints.
But it was a pity that her struggles were in vain.
As the scarlet radiance shone, a massive spiritual power flowed through the black tentacles and poured into the ancient magic weapon in Jenn's hand.
The woman's movements also began to become slower and weaker. In the end, she even gave up struggling. She just stared at Zayen with wide eyes in horror.
"Stop! Stop! You don't know what you're doing!
Human, you're digging your own grave! "
"I'm sorry, but I don't have the mood to care about the nonsense of a lunatic."
Jenn wasn't interested in the woman's words at all.
He tightened his grip on the Demon Sword and increased the speed of absorbing the weapon spirit.
The Celestial Boundary was indeed one of the Divine Artifact Sets. Through Cyberbras, Zayen could sense that the other party had a rather powerful Soul Energy. If he did not have Cyberbras, an ancient Magic Artifact that specialized in devouring souls, it would take him more time to deal with the other party. But now, he was at the mercy of the other party.
"Do you know who I am?
I'm the weapon spirit of this scepter. If you kill me, you will never be able to use this weapon again. Not only that, but you will also bring the entire world into the abyss of a terrifying nightmare and disaster! "
Seeing that Jenn wasn't moved by her words, the woman in blue changed her attitude and began to beg bitterly.
"Can't you sense this terrifying, evil aura?
There's a terrifying monster sealed beneath this city and this scepter is one of the key points of the seal.
If you destroy me, then the seal will immediately collapse. At that time, none of you will be able to escape!! "
"…"
Jenn didn't care about the woman's words at all. Perhaps this place was indeed one of the key points of the seal, but it definitely wouldn't collapse as soon as the woman removed the seal.
Previously, she was trying to lead Tilly to bring her away. Teleportation spells couldn't be used in this place, so it was impossible for the woman to teleport away after obtaining the scepter. This meant that even if the Heaven's Boundary left this place, it wouldn't cause too much of an impact in a short period of time.
Perhaps Zayen's attire and appearance had deceived this woman, causing her to think that he was just an ordinary legendary warrior, which was why she spoke so carelessly.
If the woman knew that she was facing a Superior Demons, she probably wouldn't have said such useless words.
In terms of bewitching people's hearts, the fiend race was the expert, and this mere artifact spirit was nothing difficult at all.
Soon, the woman's screams became weaker. As the scarlet radiance emitted from Cyberlas grew brighter, her body became more and more transparent.
In the end, she could only vaguely see a silhouette. But even so, she didn't give up.
A weapon spirit was also a form of life. No life could remain indifferent in the face of the fear of death.
It was the same even for the soul of a legendary weapon.
"Please, let me go, human. I'm willing to submit to you. I'm willing to listen to your orders. I can even tell you the secrets of the sky, as long as you let me go …"
"Are you serious?"
"Huh?"
The woman in blue was taken aback by Jenn's answer. Even though she had been begging, Jenn's unwavering attitude had left her in despair. The reason why she offered one condition after another was because of her instincts to struggle and resist. Even though she knew that she would die, no one would choose to give up until the very last moment.
In order to survive, she was willing to sacrifice everything.
Due to this reason, the woman in blue was taken aback by Jenn's answer. But she quickly returned to her senses and lifted her head hurriedly to look at Jenn.
"Yes, I'm willing, human.
I'm willing to submit to you. As long as you let me go, I can guide you to the other parts of the legendary weapon. When all the legendary weapons are gathered, you will become the Sky Lord …! "
"Good."
Jenn smiled. He wasn't interested in becoming the Sky Lord. Even though the title sounded lofty, it was nothing more than a messenger of the Sun God Amon on the main plane.
As the son of the Demon King, it was impossible for Jenn to do such a thing for the Sun God.
Whether or not the Sky Scepter could be assembled was meaningless to him. On the contrary, destroying this set of legendary weapons was more important to Jenn. Of course, apart from that, Jenn had another goal.
Thinking of this, Zayen snapped his fingers. Soon, along with his action, the weapon spirit that was bound by the black tentacles in the air gradually floated in front of Zayen. Then, Zayen stretched out his right hand and placed it on its forehead. Zayen smiled.
"Since you've made up your mind, Miss Artifact Spirit, turn into my loyal servant right here and now."
"Huh?"
Upon hearing Zayen's answer, the artifact spirit was taken aback. Then, she lifted her head to look at Zayen, only to realize that the young man's pitch-black eyes were now emitting a blood-red glow. And in his palm, an evil, dark aura emerged.
Looking at this scene, the artifact spirit's expression changed drastically.
"You're … Demons …!"
"That's right, Miss Artifact Spirit."
Zayen smiled when he heard the weapon spirit's words.
"I will make good use of everything you've left behind. Now, please be on your way."
"No, no, no — — —!"
A red radiance emerged.
Along with the artifact spirit's miserable shriek, a dazzling red radiance erupted from her translucent body. Black tentacles scattered in all directions. Shortly after, the woman's blurry body twisted, compressed, and coalesced into a mark of Demons that emanated a scarlet radiance.
Jenn extended his hand to grab the mark and held it tightly.
At the next moment, the engraving shattered, turned into scarlet specks of light dust, and vanished entirely.
At the same time, the Heaven's Boundary that hovered in midair seemed to have lost its momentum as it silently landed on the ground. Then, the azure color within it gradually turned dusky and pitch-black clouds that resembled thick, inky clouds emerged from within and gradually spread out.
It's done.
Looking at the scene in front of him, Zayen nodded proudly. Then, he reached out and picked up the completely dimmed Heaven's Boundary.
Then, he turned around. At that moment, Ina and Tilly arrived by his side, gazing curiously at the scepter in Jenn's hand.
"Is this what we're looking for?
Master? "
Ina asked while sizing up the scepter in Jenn's hand.
Upon hearing Ina's question, Zayen nodded, picked up the scepter in his hand, and placed it in front of Tilly.
"Huh?
Mr. Jenn? "
Tilly stared blankly at the scepter that Jenn handed over. Even though she didn't understand what it was like like Jenn, as long as one wasn't a fool, one could tell that it was definitely a valuable high-grade magical weapon.
And now, judging from Jenn's reaction, he actually wants to give it to me?
At this thought, Tilly was somewhat surprised. She lifted her head and gazed at the young man dubiously, not knowing what he meant by that.
"This is your destiny, Miss Tilly."
Facing Tilly's gaze, Jenn smiled.
"Since you sensed its call, I guess you're the owner of this scepter … Miss Tilly, please accept this gift."
"I …"
Upon hearing Jenn's answer, Tilly hesitated for a few moments. In the end, she closed her eyes and took in a deep breath. Then, she lifted her head and gazed at Jenn.
"Mr. Jenn … Erm … I can't accept your gift for free. Even though you said that this is my destiny, without you, I wouldn't have been able to obtain it.
Erm … Even though it's a little hard to say, but … May I know if you're willing to accept my allegiance? "
"Of course."
Upon hearing Tilly's question, the smile on Jenn's face grew increasingly dazzling.
"This is also what I wanted to ask you, Miss Tilly. Are you willing to sign a contract with me and become my loyal servant?"
Upon hearing his words, Tilly pondered in silence for a few moments. Then, she gazed at Jenn and nodded firmly.
"I'm willing, Mr. Jenn."
As she spoke, Tilly stretched out her hand and grasped the scepter that Zayen handed over.
The instant she held the scepter, the scarlet engraving of Demons appeared on her forehead once again.
At the next moment, a dazzling radiance erupted and enveloped Tilly entirely.
