Shepherd Tantra

Chapter 1106: Promoting the Great Sin Scholar

Although he felt a little nostalgic for the golden sword... Haibasha was a sufficiently sober and rational person.

She knew clearly that Hermes was dead and would never come back. The golden sword was neither a weapon made by Hermes nor a weapon he used. He was just a transit station, a messenger, passing it from one side to another.

It can't even be an old item used to commemorate the deceased.

And the most important thing is that its owner is Aiwass, not herself. She doesn't care much about how other people's wealth is used... Not to mention that Aiwass is the benefactor who saved her daughter.

Compared to a dead sword that has already been given to someone else, a living person right in front of you is more important.

So Haibasha did not hesitate at all.

After confirming that Aiwass was truly uninterested in its power, she dissolved the sword herself.

Her fingers gently stroked the top of the red-handled sword. Countless fine dark golden runes emerged from the hilt, then dimmed, and a trace of light gradually seeped into the sword. It seemed to sense something, and began to vibrate and struggle vigorously, emitting a series of low and pitiful hums... like a trembling young animal.

As the red-handled sword exuded a little holy light, a brilliant and ethereal blade of light gradually condensed. In a trance, it seemed as if a hymn sounded in my ears. Haibasha just looked at the sword and felt that it was not a dead object... but a little girl in a red dress, probably only thirteen or fourteen years old.

She was looking at herself with her eyes fixed on her, with some marks of destruction appearing on her skin.

That was the self-destruction rune that Haibasha had injected... a spell that could cause matter to self-disintegrate and collapse.

This is a rune spell that was popular during the Tower of Babel era. It is a kind of "truth" spell that is very close to the source river. Only by thoroughly understanding the structure of the recipient can one write a targeted method of self-destruction.

Only the elven wizards of two thousand years ago could have mastered this long-lost art. It is neither destruction nor violence, but the dissolution of the foundation of all things.

If one knows enough about gems, one can turn a top-quality gem into powder because of the self-destruction rune; and if one knows enough about trees, one can make a thousand-year-old giant tree wither and decay because of the self-destruction rune, and turn into ashes in an instant.

With Haibasha's knowledge of the golden sword, she could easily destroy it.

It was neither cutting it off nor melting it. Instead, it was completely "abandoned" - and it would not affect the spirit inside, because she did not have enough knowledge of that spirit. The self-destruction rune she wrote was only for the sword itself.

But at this moment... Haibasha vaguely felt that he was not destroying a sword, but killing a person, an innocent child, a new consciousness.

——Does she really have such power? To kill a brand new life...

"……Why."

But Haibasha sighed: "I thought Aiwass was making a fuss... Now it seems that he is right."

Originally, she had a high enough liking for the golden sword, and even tried hard to persuade Aiwass to accept the sword. But now, before the golden sword was about to be destroyed, it really began to confuse her mind.

This made Haibasha start to reflect - had she been bewitched by it many years ago? That's why she spoke well of it? Even... could Hermes' death also be related to this sword?

But no matter what, the young elf girl's eyes remained calm.

There was no emotion in her eyes.

"——Unfortunately, this trick doesn't work on me."

Haibasha bowed her head and said this to the golden sword. As an apostle of the path of wisdom, she has long been able to view the world in an absolutely rational way. She still seems to have emotions, only because she wishes she had emotions at this moment.

And the Golden Sword seemed to realize this belatedly.

The helplessness and fragility it had originally portrayed disappeared completely, and its original disguise of goodwill was torn apart in an instant.

The baby's helpless whimpering in a baby voice suddenly turned into a wild roar.

The humming sound instantly became more than a hundred times more intense - it was so intense that it would be interrupted instantly if one stretched out one's finger. If one placed it on a stone, even the stone would be crushed into powder. If one tried to hold it forcefully, even a high-ranking transcendent would have his entire body and internal organs shattered in a matter of seconds.

It's not installed anymore, but it's too late.

No matter how Malmidova's remaining consciousness struggled, it was still powerless in front of Haibasha.

When the last rune was injected into the body, it stopped struggling instantly. It was as if thousands of years had passed in an instant... The red-handled sword lost all its luster. The handguard decayed and broke, and the amber-wrapped hilt also quickly dissolved and turned into nothingness. Only a small piece of the sword remained...

It looks like a star-shaped cuttlefish bone with a transparent and soft texture.

Looking at him, Haibasha showed a slightly surprised expression.

Obviously, even Haibasha didn't know that there was such an object hidden inside the red-handled sword. That's why her self-destruction rune had no effect on it.

But after losing the shell that served as a "weapon", this flexible cartilage no longer poses any threat.

Haibasha stretched out his hand and dissolved it into a ball of nothingness, and the hazy light ball sealed in it was released.

At this step, she stopped.

Haibasha turned around and looked at Aiwass, and asked seriously: "You want me to transfer this spirit body completely into the holy sword... Do you want to sign a contract with it?"

"Yes."

Aiwas nodded and explained to Haibasha in detail: "This is my professional inheritance - the special ability of the Great Sin Scholar. I can capture phantoms and incorporate all or part of their power into the Tarot cards, making them my summons, personal guards, or turning them into a spell, an item, or a weapon.

"During the process of signing the contract, there will be a stage of mutual recognition. I will see part of its memory, and if it agrees, it can become my guardian spirit.

"And in my team, I need a character who can provide defense and survival. It must be a high-level phantom demon with light attributes, and the material I can find is these two holy swords. So I need to let this spirit be able to use the Clarent Holy Sword inherited by the Moriarty family normally, and it would be best if it can maintain sufficient rationality, and retain complete swordsmanship and combat awareness..."

As the client, Aiwass certainly knows that the more detailed the "requirements" are, the better.

Just like a patient should not say nothing or deliberately conceal some details and let the doctor play a puzzle game - not to mention what the doctor's blood pressure is, but delaying the treatment will definitely be a loss for the doctor in the end.

What's more, with Aiwas's current status and position, he no longer needs to hide the secret of the Scholar of Great Sin.

Rather... he is even preparing to start promoting this profession.
