Chapter 440 Auction trap (17)

Chapter 440 Auction trap (17)

The manager left to prepare the carriage, but the guards remained outside the door.

We didn't leave after the manager left since we knew that it would be dangerous for us to leave like this.

Only when our carriage came would we leave.

As for the guards, they were here to protect us in case anything happened.

But of course, anyone that would make a move in this auction house was a fool since this auction house was backed by the royal family. Naturally, there would be the best protection here.

When the two of us were alone in the room, I picked up Durand and held it up in front of me.

As I looked at it, I couldn't help admiring it.

This blade was just like the one in the game, but there was something different about seeing it in real life instead of through the screen.

Holding it in my hand like this, I can sense just how sharp and powerful this sword was.

If one wasn't careful, they might just cut themselves on the blade just by touching it.

But at the same time, I could feel the dark energy that was coming from this blade.

After all of my adventures, I had become quite sensitive to mana. So I could sense the dark attributed mana that was coming from Durand.

As expected of one of the Seven Cursed Swords.

In the game, the description of Durand had been that this was a sword that was forged with the intense pain of ten thousand souls. The cuts that Durand made would never close and would ache eternally, draining on the mind of those that it was used on.

That was why it was called a cursed sword.

But at the same time, there was another curse that came with it.

Those that used this sword would suffer the pain that they inflicted.

In the game, it was damage equal to the damage that was inflicted with the sword that was would be inflicted on the user of the sword.

It was basically suffering the same amount of damage that one dealt.

But of course, this damage could be negated with armour and various different buffs, or this item would be completely unusable. It was only the player character that had this special right and all other people would suffer the damage that they inflicted.

After staring at this sword for a bit, I was about to put it away into my Storage Ring.

However, before that could happen, there was some kind of glow that came from my hand.

When I looked down, I saw that there was a glowing pair of wings that appeared on the back of my hand.

This was the Mark of God that I had received from Solista.

I didn't know what to do, so I just watched as the mark glowed on the back of my hand, waiting to see what happened.

But Shaka wasn't as calm and patient as me as he asked, "What's happening?"

I shook my head and said, "I don't know, but it shouldn't be something bad."

Shaka had a look of doubt in his eyes when he heard this, but he fell silent as he waited to see what would happen.

The Mark of God on the back of my hand glowed for a bit before that glow suddenly appeared on Durand. This glow appeared where my hand was holding the sword and it slowly began spreading across the sword.

It went from the hilt where my hand was until it completely covered the sword.

As Durand was covered in this glow, it was as if the dark energy that was coming from it was getting weaker.

It was almost as if this glow was slowly purifying the darkness of Durand…

I wasn't certain since I couldn't appraise it like in the game, but it felt like Durand was changing.

This glow remained around Durand for a bit before it slowly started to fade.

When it was gone, the feeling that I got from Durand was completely different from before.

It was as if this was nothing more than a normal sword…No, it wasn't a normal sword since I could still feel the powerful energy coming from it. However, it definitely wasn't as dark as it was before.

It was as if the glow from the Mark of God had purified the sword.

Shaka had been staring at the sword just now as it was covered in this glow, but once that glow disappeared, he looked at me with an inquisitive look. It was as if he was asking me what had happened.

I could see this, so I slowly turned to look at him before shaking my head and saying, "I don't know."

Shaka narrowed his eyes to look at me, as if he doubted what I said.

But even if he did, there was nothing that I could say since I had no idea what just happened.

This Mark of God was something that I had gotten from Solista, but I never thought that it had this kind of power…

The two of us just remained silent for a long time as we both stared at the sword.

We were finally interrupted by the door opening and someone coming in.

When we looked over, we found that it was the manager who had come back.

He had walked in and then stopped to look at us. On his face was a worried look.

That was because he saw the two of us just standing there looking at Durand and he couldn't help fearing that something was wrong with it, so he said, "Count Zwein, is something wrong? Is there a problem with the item?"

I slowly shook my head before saying, "Is my carriage here yet?"

The manager was surprised to be asked this, but he gave a nod before saying, "Yes, your carriage is waiting for you downstairs."

I gave a nod before putting Durand away and saying, "Lead the way."

The manager was surprised to see Durand disappear into thin air, but he gave a nod and gestured for us to follow him as he said, "Please follow me."
