Chapter 420 [420] The power of the sin of Gluttony, devour!
[The Ame-No-Sakahoko wishes to devour the Blade of Blackest Ink.]
'What..?'
I thought, confused. That single sentence had made me forget whatever I was thinking about.
The only thing left in my mind now…was confusion?
What is this?
Why did this appear?
Devour?
It seems I was missing a crucial detail about the Ame-no-Sakahoko…but what am I missing?
I can't seem to recall anything…damn this garbage memory of mine!
I always forget the things that should never be forgotten.
[Supreme Dragon of Frost Laneshas suggests observing the Ame-No-sakahoko'd details.]
'...oh.'
Yeah, that's a good suggestion. Why didn't I think of that?
Without wasting another second(and embarrassing myself), I accessed the details of the Ame-No-Sakahoko.

'Ah…'
I gasped, finally understanding what the message meant now.
'It has been bestowed with the Sin Of Gluttony. It is possible to advance its rank when using the Sin of gluttony to devour it…'
I read the crucial part of the description, finding it amusing. I did not recall ever seeing this, but then again, when I received the spear again I was in an agitated state…and had caused a massacre.
So in my defense, I cannot be blamed for that.
I sat down and held the spear in my hands, although my memory was quite bad, I did remember the spear vibrating, and…conveying a meaning to me.
'Defeat the Heavenly demon, and Vanquish the Blackest blade.'
In the heat of battle, I didn't really notice it, but the words were still stuck inside my mind…Strangely enough, I heard no voice.
The only thing I could feel were vibrations, but the meaning behind them was conveyed to me clearly.
"So you still won't talk to me huh…"
I sighed, wondering what I needed to do to get this spear talking to me. I wonder why it even chose me.
[The Ame-No-Sakahoko wishes to devour the Blade of Blackest ink.]
The message appeared in front of me again,
'...should I do it?'
I thought, hesitant. The blade of blackest ink was something that would be a priceless treasure back on Earth. Everyone would want to fight to acquire it, the association, the demons, and every guild there could be, no matter the scale of the organization, they would do anything in their power to have it in their own hands.
Twilight cannot go against the world, it just can't. It is powerful, without a shadow of doubt.
But…How can one guild go against the entire world? It is just impossible. The ink-black blade is just that precious. Very few items of its rank exist on Earth…And I don't think I know of one which is [SSS] rank.
Even the Ame-no-sakahoko, a weapon of the SS rank grade, would have been able to incite entire wars over it had it not been for its special restriction. The fact that it was a weapon that decided its master…was a blessing for Japan, lest the demons, and even humans would not care for loss and march forth, one group trying to get the weapon that slayed a duke and one for their own personal gains.
A weapon like this…in the wrong hands? I can't let it happen. I am not a hero or anything but even I would not dare imagine the consequences. I can also hide it in my inventory…but.
Who knows if the outside world already knows…? The tower broadcasts everything, according to my knowledge. Who knows if this is even being broadcasted. But…just to be sure.
"Is this being broadcasted?"
I asked, but as expected, the tower did not respond. Now I am even more worried.
"Sigh…"
[The Ame-No-Sakahoko wishes to devour the blade of blackest ink.]
"Wait!"
I yelled, getting tired of the continuous messages.
"Let me think…"
I muttered, trying to think of what I could do. I could just let the spear devour it…but should I do that? I know of a spear much, much stronger than the Ame-no-sakahoko, I know of its location and have also seen it in action, wielded by Aranus.
Vorfius, Aranus's spear, the spear that was his main weapon, I know of its location, and I also know that it will only accept me, because I reside in the vessel of its owner.
"Sigh…"
I let out another sigh.
Thinking of things from a different perspective…Does anyone I know use a sword except for Master?
Alexander uses twin blades, so I don't think this blade will fit. Lucas is Lucas, using his fists, Olivia uses a rapier, Kazikato uses twin scythes.
…
…
…
None of the people I'm close to use swords except for Master…and Master already has a sword that is SSS rank.
I wanted to increase the strength of my group…but I guess I can't.
[Supreme Dragon of frost Lanesha urges you to follow your heart.]
[The Ame-no-Sakahoko wishes to devour the blade of Blackest ink.]
And the spear is pestering me..
'Sigh, fuck it.'
Although it is a precious item, I can't protect it from the outside world with my current strength, nor do I know of someone who is my ally and can also handle its power…And although it is regrettable, I believe enhancing my current strength is of more importance.
Although I know of a greater weapon waiting for me…my current one is also beneficial to my strength,
I held the Ame-no-sakahoko and Ink-black blade in each hand, and then looked at them both with a sense of…hope.
'Please don't turn out to be bad.'
I wished, I don't want my weapon to turn into a weird hybrid that is not useful…Oh well.
Fuck it, let's roll.
"I give you permission to devour the blade of blackest ink."
I said. I didn't think this would work because it was so simple, but it worked!
I was expecting a ritual to be required…
A white light shrouded both the weapons, they slowly went closer to each and when they were finally together, the white light expanded into a large, white bowl of fierce, swirling energy.
I, with my expectant eyes, stared at the procedure taking place, and waited.
******
[Tower of trials, third lobby, after 2 hours.]
[The Ame-no-sakahoko has been successful in devouring the blade of blackest ink.]
The notification I was waiting for finally appeared, and the ball fo white light disappeared and the 'result' was now infront of me.
"...Holy shit."
Goddamn, that is amazing.
