As soon as he entered Bradd's shop, he found him just as he had last time, sleeping comfortably in his chair.
But this time, as soon as he entered, Bradd opened his eyes, a little groggy and looked at Ringo, slightly annoyed. -Couldn't you have come later?
Ringo shrugged, it didn't matter what time he came, Bradd's store's opening hours were basically his "nap time".
The rest of the time he focused on research, so opening the store was basically a way to relax.
Bradd just talked for the sake of talking and Ringo didn't mind, in the end, he looked at Bradd with excitement.
Bradd rolled his eyes and pulled his hand away slightly, the next moment, a spear appeared above Bradd's palm.
Just as he had requested, it looked exactly like Gae Bolg, but unlike the original, this one was silvery white, just looking at the spear, it seemed to swallow the world around it. He knew this was caused by the Void energy it emitted.
-Here.- Bradd threw the spear directly to him, Ringo caught it easily, but as soon as he did, his brow furrowed slightly.
A roar echoed in his mind, and not only that, a gigantic, silvery-white dragon ghost appeared before him, roaring with anger, arrogance and defiance.
He looked directly at Ringo's soul with evident disdain, the weapon was alive, just as he had requested.
A smile slowly grew on Ringo's lips.
-Just as you requested, a living weapon. To be more precise, it hasn't quite reached the level of a 'living weapon' yet. It could be considered a Soul Weapon, the difference is that it possesses a soul, but it still needs a wielder to function. Perhaps if you upgrade it in the future, it will become a true living weapon. Of course, whether you'll be alive for that is the big question.- Bradd teased lightly, looking at Ringo with interest, curious to see how he would tame this weapon.
Ringo looked at the spear, running his fingers over it, it felt porous like bone, yet cold as metal. Ringo wouldn't begin to tame the weapon right then and there, instead, he inquired about its capabilities.
-What can it do?- Ringo asked.
-Everything you asked for, but to acquire the weight aspect and return to its owner, you first need to establish a soul connection with it, besides, it possesses other abilities.- Bradd pulled a piece of paper from the void and tossed it to Ringo.
The paper defied the laws of physics and flew into his hand as if ignoring wind resistance.
Ringo caught it easily.
//-//
1- Void Throw - Can throw the weapon after locking onto a target (the spear locks onto the target automatically, but requires the cooperation of the inner soul), the spear teleports through the void and becomes incorporeal, directly hitting the target ignoring obstacles. Reload: 1 minute.
2- Distortion - A short-range attack that causes a terrifying distortion of the void, collapsing space and everything within it, the damage is tremendous. Cooldown: 30 seconds
3- Void Jet - Charges a large amount of void energy to fire a concentrated jet of void energy in a straight line, even more destructive than void distortion and capable of causing atomic-level collapse, but requires an even longer recharge time. Recharge: 3 minutes.
//-//
Three simple abilities, but each has its advantages: tracking, short-range damage and long-range damage.
-The weapon can recharge itself by drawing energy from the void, but it's not very fast, its full charge should be enough to launch each of the movements three times before needing to recharge. Of course, if you have void energy or some other compatible energy source, you can recharge it on your own. - Bradd explained.
Ringo smiled, very pleased, looking at Bradd. He felt that the old man was becoming more and more handsome in his eyes, but Bradd gave him an even stronger look of disgust.
Ringo coughed slightly to avoid embarrassment and said. -All right, thank you, I'm very pleased with this. If I need to create another weapon, I'll come back to you.
-Of course, as long as you have good enough materials.- The old man shrugged. -Now go away, I need to sleep.
As soon as the old man finished speaking, Ringo found himself back at the teleportation station.
His lips trembled, he truly hated this.
Sighing, he shook his head, he picked up a star cluster-level teleportation scroll and opened it, on the other side, the original Ringo next to Ames also opened the corresponding scroll.
As soon as the passage opened, the clone passed through it. Before it closed, Ames, standing beside him, narrowed her eyes and released some of her energy. The space behind Ringo's clone cracked as a muffled groan sounded. Ringo knew the groan belonged to Bradd. As soon as he passed, Bradd should have been watching, but as soon as he was hit by Ames, he fled even faster.
Bradd wanted to insult his curiosity, so this rich idiot is actually a subordinate of the Dragon Emperor?!
He was glad he hadn't had the idea of profiting at zero cost from Ringo, or he probably wouldn't even know how he died. Fortunately, after he got older, he became more timid and didn't do that sort of thing anymore. All he had before was curiosity about Ringo, so he wanted to see where he would go and how he would master the spear, but now that Ames had appeared, he had given up.
He finally discovered where Ringo got so many Void Dragon Bones.
Ringo, on the other side, closed the portal and smiled. He had foreseen this, which is why he used this method to warn Bradd, he didn't want to be spied on.
Ames didn't go all out because Ringo asked her to take it easy, plus outside it was Austin's territory, speaking of which, it was likely that Austin had sensed her energy, so he should call later.
But for now, Ames focused on the spear in Ringo's hand, because of its Void lineage, the spear subtly attracted her. Even the Void Dragon Soul seemed to sense Ames and stopped roaring, instead hiding completely.
Void dragons are proud and authoritarian beings, rarely meeting with their own kind except to mate or to die, which is why it felt no attraction to Ames, it was likely that when alive, it was a female Void Dragon.
In any case, it wasn't Ringo's problem, he was ready to tame this weapon.
