Chapter 36 - Loot
Meurig proceeded to return "Lucky Sword" back to Yuki.
"Wait why hasn't my sword disintegrated yet? I thought everything that was weaker than you disintegrated," Yuki asked.
"I thought the same however I figured out that anything that if I don't have ill intentions towards something, it won't disintegrate," Meurig replied.
"That's a life saver! Now I don't have to worry about you getting stronger than me, not that it would happen in general," Yuki said as they both broke into laughter.

[Item drop: King's Crown]
Yuki double tapped on the item to open its information chart.
[Rank: C]
[Weapon type: Helmet]
[Attack: 0]
[Description: Power: Contains the ability to make a single undead monster follow the orders of the user under the condition that said user is 2 times stronger than the undead monster. Long ago lived a king with a pitiful kingdom. As his land began to die out and his subjects began to leave, in a last minute effort, he turned to gain power from necromancy. He had succeeded and managed to make his kingdom prosper. Feeling overjoyed, the king became distracted and allowed himself to be betrayed and killed by one of his fellow monarchs. The council of monarchs had decided to execute the king as his ways of necromancy were seen as vile and disgusting. Now all he knows to do is give out orders, not allowing himself to experience joy. ]
"What a horrific story," Yuki said as he read the description.
As Meurig and him began to leave another object fell from the sky. It was the same giant sword that Oedipus and Ourbanos used. However, now it was completely black and had chains around it.
"Are you kidding me? What am I going to do with this piece of junk?" Yuki asked out-loud in an angrily tone implying that he was mad at the stage.
Out of curiosity, Yuki double tapped on the shackled sword.
[Item drop: Niflheim's holy treasure]
[Weapon type: Sword]
[Name: Niflheim's holy treasure]
[Rank: ???]
[Attack: ???]
[Description:???]
"Wait no way! Another sword like 'Fallen angel of hell'?"
"This world just keeps getting better and better!" Yuki said as he smiled eagerly at Meurig.
Yuki continued inspecting his new treasured sword until he remembered something.
"Meurig, do you want this sword? You've been a great help and I want you to have a cool sword like mine!" Yuki said.
Meurig gently smiled back.
"No thank you, I prefer the method of fighting which I'm currently using. Plus, you seem to really like the sword yourself," Meurig replied.
"You got me there," Yuki chuckled.
As they both laughed in joy, Yuki's "Fallen angel of hell" which was in his right hand began to shake and glow red. Yuki dropped it on the ground from shock but before he could go and grab it, it latched on to "Niflheim's holy treasure". In mere seconds, the chains that it was confined by broke then the black outer layer began to crack. The transparent blue sword began to shine through the cracks. It was like seeing a butterfly hatch out of its cocoon.
Once fully open, Yuki and Meurig admired the beauty of the sword.
"Can you try making ice appear from the sword like Ourbanos did?" Meurig asked.
"I doubt it but I'll try," Yuki replied as he put "Fallen angel of death'' as well as he proceeded to put "Fallen angel of hell" as well as "Lucky Sword" back into his inventory.
Yuki placed both his hands at the hilt of the transparent sword and began to concentrate. He closed his eyes and tried to envision anything that was cold. For a couple minutes nothing happened. He had begun to lose hope but just then, he could feel the sword getting colder. Yuki continued to concentrate on bringing out the full potential of his new sword. Nevertheless, his sword ignored all his efforts, it stayed at the same temperature regardless of how hard he tried to make ice appear. Seeing how frustrated Yuki was becoming, Meurig decided to give an input on the situation.
"Hey it's okay, maybe take a break then try it later," Meurig said.
"I would but I really want to apply the ice aspect of the sword, I wonder how Ourbanos managed to accomplish it. If it's all based off of attack strength, he should only be 2-3 times stronger than me."
"If that was true then I should at least be able to create a bit of snow," Yuki said.
"Then it's probably not about strength, do you have any other guesses as to why it's not obeying you?" Meurig asked.
"Well I have a hypothesis but I don't know if it'll work," Yuki replied.
Yuki handed Meurig "Niflheim's holy treasure".
[Open inventory]
Yuki took out "Fallen angel of hell" from his inventory. Just like he had done with "Niflheim's holy treasure", Yuki placed both of his hands at the hilt of his treasured sword. He closed his eyes and began to concentrate on solely drawing out the immense power hidden within "Fallen angel of death". Slowly, the silver sword with red linings all across it began to glow. The red linings shined brighter than the sun and reminded Yuki of the day in which he managed to draw out the full potential of his blade. He was secretly hoping that it would happen once again. It was a sight to truly behold.
"I thought so," Yuki said.
"Mind explaining what you mean?" Meurig asked.
"Well the sword I'm holding now and "Niflheim's holy treasure" both have all their information hidden. "Fallen angel of hell" is much more powerful than this, according to a mage, its full potential can't be drawn out until the user of it reaches at least level 60," Yuki replied.
"Then how do you know that it's so powerful?" Meurig asked.
"I don't know if it was by fluke but I was able to draw out it's innate power not long ago. The problem is that 'Niflheim's holy treasure' could hold the same abilities as 'Fallen angel of hell'."
