Arthur begins to remove the numerous layers of garments enveloping the sword in a calm manner. The sight of the sword wrapped in so many garments sparks the team's curiosity.
"Man, this guy really went all out with the wrapping. And what's up with the name he called that sword..." Monk ponders silently, his eyes fixed on Arthur. The other team members also watch Arthur intently, their expressions filled with curiosity.
Finally, the last garment is peeled away, revealing a dull-looking blade before their eyes. The sword is wide, slightly curved, adorned with unique runes running along its body. The most intriguing feature is the skull with fangs engraved on it. Apart from these details, the blade appears rather unremarkable.
Contrary to their expectations, the team feels a wave of disappointment wash over them.
"Pfft, my sword could do way better than that piece of junk. I thought it was a demigod-tier weapon or something," Lois scoffs, her voice dripping with disdain.
Nadia follows suit, letting out a fake cough. Only Ross and Monk remain captivated by the sword, especially Monk, who is awe-struck by its craftsmanship.
Meanwhile, Ross senses that something is off about the sword, but he can't quite put his finger on it.
Despite his teammates' remarks, Arthur remains silent, carefully examining the sword as he stands.
After what feels like an eternity, Arthur suddenly surprises everyone with his next action.
He retrieves a blood pack from his inventory and starts pouring it onto the sword. Instead of the blood dripping onto the ground, it's as if the sword itself is absorbing the blood, leaving no traces behind.
Witnessing this peculiar sight, the curiosity of the teammates reaches new heights.
Arthur continues to feed the sword with several blood packs until he finally stops after the tenth one.
"Seems like you were really hungry... You've gulped down ten blood packs, leaving me with only a few more. But if it makes you happy, that's fine," Arthur mutters.
Initially, it appears as though he is addressing one of his teammates, but that's not the case. He is speaking to the sword itself.
In response to his words, the sword vibrates in his hand, emitting a loud humming sound.
"Heh, I guess you like it. Get ready to take down some bad guys," Arthur says with a smirk, finally raising the sword and resting it on his shoulders.
Witnessing everything Arthur has done, the teammates are left dumbfounded. It's their first time experiencing something like this. Although myths about sentient weapons have circulated, few people truly believed in their existence.
Yet, right before their eyes, they are confronted with someone wielding a sentient weapon.
"A-Arthur, I've heard about these blood-sucking weapons, but this is the first time I've actually seen one," Monk stammers, disbelief evident in his eyes.
"Yeah, you've heard right. It has been in the possession of the Celestial Monkey race all this time," Arthur confirms, addressing Monk's doubts.
Hearing Monk's words and Arthur's confession, the other teammates find themselves bewildered, like lambs about to be sold at the market.
"Monk, can you enlighten us about what's going on? What do you know about that sword?" Ross asks, his eyes gleaming with curiosity. Being a fan of large swords, especially rare ones, his excitement is expected.
Nadia and Lois nod in agreement, eager to learn more about the sword.
In Lois' mind, she realizes she has made a mistake by picking a fight with the wrong person. She should have stuck to Arthur like a leech, given her greedy nature. However, her disdain for vampires got the better of her.
'Screw it! I messed up. I bet this guy has more cool things in his space ring,' Lois thinks to herself, her eyes greedily fixated on Arthur's space ring.
Suddenly, Monk begins to speak...
"My grandfather once told me about it. He said that in our main temple, an elder possessed a peculiar sword. However, even the elder couldn't wield it because the sword would drain the wielder's blood within seconds. It was rumored to even suck the blood of those standing nearby, instantly killing them. Despite this, the elder was the only one capable of handling the sword, thanks to a special glove.
"But even with the glove, the sword was too heavy for combat, as its shape would constantly change. Moreover, its blades were dull and ineffective. Unable to unravel the sword's secret, the Celestial Monkey race concealed it within a hidden compartment. The sword was believed to have originated from the vampires, yet it would mercilessly slay any vampire who dared to touch it.
"Any vampire who knew of the sword had the opportunity to try wielding it, but only after signing a contract. Over the course of twenty years, only a handful of vampires attempted it, and they usually met brutal ends. That's all I know about this blood-sucking weapon, based on my grandfather's account. However, I had no idea it had left the possession of the Celestial Monkey race and ended up beside me all this time," Monk explains, glancing towards Arthur.
The others also direct their gaze at Arthur...
"Haha, great story. I enjoyed it. I never knew Excalibur could be so brutal, although she doesn't appreciate being called a blood-sucking sword," Arthur remarks, looking at Monk while the sword emits a humming sound.
"Oh, I'm sorry..." Monk stammers, swallowing nervously.
"Well, I obtained Excalibur from the Celestial Monkey race about a year ago. At first, she was hesitant to follow me and even attempted to kill me, haha. But after convincing her and gaining her trust, assuring her that I would find her true owner, she eventually complied and transformed into a smaller sword, allowing me to carry her wherever I go. I became a traveler because of her, on a quest to find her rightful owner, though it seems all my efforts have been in vain," Arthur explains, letting out a sigh.
Suddenly, the sword vibrates intensely in Arthur's hands...
