Free Web NovelChapter 349: Chapter 131: The Second A-Level Card
[Ding Dong!]
[Sword Soul Wood has been filled]
[Sword Spirit and Sword Soul Wood binding complete]
[Acquired A-Class Material Card - Unnamed Metal Fragment]
Ree Shil’s attention was immediately drawn to the words "A-Class Material Card".
Unfortunately, now was not the time to check it.
However, this meant that he had found a suitable Sword Spirit and had it reside within the Sword Soul Wood.
He looked down at his arm, and sure enough, there was a faint light thread extending from the wooden tattoo on his arm, connecting to the Sword Spirit.
But it seemed like Mossy Mushroom and Straw Man couldn’t see this light thread.
Also, at some point, the strange metal fragment from just now had implanted itself into his left arm, just like the Sword Soul Wood had done before, forming a pair with the wooden tattoo on his right arm.
(But why isn’t the next stage of the mission displayed?)
Ree Shil felt a bit puzzled.
[Huh? This is... Sword Soul Wood]
At this moment, the Sword Spirit also noticed the light thread.
Upon looking at Ree Shil’s arm tattoo, he immediately understood what was going on.
[It seems... Heaven does not want me to perish just yet]
[To think I would actually meet a fated person]
He sighed with his head tilted back.
His tone did not reveal any joy at surviving a calamity, but rather an attitude that seemed to see through everything.
Still, he turned to Ree Shil, his fated person, and bowed deeply instead of clasping his hands in a greeting.
After the bow, he started to form various hand seals.
[Since I already have a place to reside, there’s no need for the rest of me to continue sleeping]
[Soul, come!] freēwēbηovel.c૦m
Once the hand seals were finished, he pointed toward the sky with a deep voice.
However, the situation became awkward because nothing happened.
"So this is your hidden side mission? It doesn’t seem very reliable."]
Mossy Mushroom couldn’t help but ridicule.
"Grass, can it be done?"
Straw Man chimed in.
[I’m sorry, the rest of me might be too far away and would need some time to arrive]
Hearing their mockery, the Sword Spirit reluctantly retracted his hand and explained.
"Since it takes some time, could you tell me more about your origins?"
Ree Shil decided to actively trigger the next step in the mission.
[Alright]
The Sword Spirit nodded, but soon added.
[I am a Spirit Entity Fragment, and my memories are incomplete, so for now, I can only recount what I know]
The story in short was that originally being a Treasure Sword, it shattered due to a reason it couldn’t recall, and its fragments scattered all over the world.
The Spiritual Entity also shattered alongside the sword fragments, becoming many pieces.
Due to the incomplete body and spirit, the fragments were left exposed, making it extremely easy for them to feel endangered.
In order to protect themselves, each spirit entity piece entered a deep sleep.
They hoped they could find a chance to encounter someone fated to help them.
A fated person was one who could re-assemble the sword or provide a place for the Sword Spirits to reside, like Ree Shil.
[This place is filled with evil energy, and sleeping here would inevitably lead to corruption]
[Upon waking up, I found more than half had already been corrupted]
[The power to sleep once more is lost, leaving me like a candle in the wind]
[Fortunately, Lord Benefactor saved me, and now I can continue living with a fragile remaining consciousness]
The Sword Spirit spoke truthfully, believing that it was doomed just moments ago.
However, its knowledge was limited to this.
"How many Spirit Entity fragments are left, and how long will it take for them to arrive?"
Ree Shil asked.
"There were originally 100 fragments of the Spirit Entity."
"However, upon sensing it just now, most have perished."
"Including me, only ten remain."
"It is estimated that they will all arrive within three days."
Sword Spirit’s tone was somewhat wistful at this point.
It turned out that its own disintegration did not mean death to it.
Only when all the spirit entity fragments disappeared would it truly die, which was why it wasn’t afraid earlier.
"Three days is quite long."
Ree Shil got his answer and frowned at Straw Man, who was lying back on the ground: "Why don’t we leave this place first?"
If this continued, Straw Man might starve to death.
They might as well go to the nearest village first and find something to tide it over.

"We’ll listen to you, Grass."
"Let’s hurry up and leave, I’ve been wanting to leave this place for a while now, Cute Mushroom!"
Everyone agreed without objection.
So, they had the Sheep Rabbit carry the now shrunken Straw Man, who was about the same height as Mossy Mushroom, and they immediately set off.
Ree Shil remembered the direction they came from, so it was not difficult to find the way out.
However, upon setting out, he realized that he might have been a bit too naive.
He didn’t know whether it was the Sword Spirit’s remnants or the metal fragments, but they seemed to have a special attraction to the demon monsters here.
One after another, the demon monsters appeared in front of them continuously.
This forced Sheep Rabbit to step forward with its iron stick to fight and left Ree Shil carrying Straw Man.
During this time, the Follower cards of Mossy Mushroom, Straw Man, and Sword Spirit played some roles.
Ignoring the cards of the two, their greatest use was to act as meat shields to attract firepower.
However, the power of Sword Spirit surprised everyone as it was incredibly strong.
With a flick of his sleeves, he could release sword energy and directly kill the demon monsters.
Only the duration wasn’t very long; he could only show off a few times because it was probably related to the spirit entity.
After spending quite some effort, they escaped from Chaotic Soldier Hill while being pursued by the weapon demon monsters.
That place seemed to have some strange magic power, as once they left its range, the demon monsters no longer chased them out.
