"What are you talking about?" Victor asked with a deep frown, staring back at Amber.

"You really don’t know?" Amber asked, raising an eyebrow as she studied him carefully.

"No... By the way, why are we on the ground? Weren’t you using your carriage to escape?" Victor asked in genuine confusion as he looked at Eleanor.

"So, you really don’t remember, huh..." Amber muttered under her breath. She sighed before explaining everything that had happened.

By the time she finished, Victor’s jaw had nearly hit the ground.

"What the heck?!" Victor shouted when he heard Amber’s words. He looked at the others, who also nodded their heads in agreement.

’Hiss... damn, what the hell? Is killing a Tier 4 beast that easy?’ Victor cried inwardly.

"So, you’re telling me a red beam of light came out of my body and the monster vanished? Maybe it’s because I recently awakened and got contracted to a soul weapon," Victor said nonchalantly.

Amber looked at him with confusion and asked, tilting her head, "What is a soul weapon?"

"Heavens, did you just say a soul weapon?!" Eleanor, who had been listening to their conversation, suddenly widened her eyes as she looked at Victor with utter disbelief and absurdity.

Shake. Shake.

"Did you really get a soul weapon?!" Eleanor asked as she frantically grabbed his shoulders and shook him violently.

"What the hell, woman?! Are you crazy? Stop shaking me!" Victor said as he pushed her back.

"Cough... can you show me? I’ve never seen one before. I only read about them once in some old dusty records," Eleanor said, her eyes gleaming with excitement.

"Shouldn’t we leave this place first? Monsters might appear again," Victor said, sweat dripping down his face.

"Can someone tell me what a soul weapon is?" Amber asked curiously as she crossed her arms over her ample breasts. She felt like a village girl who had arrived in a big city and had no idea how the world worked, which annoyed her slightly.

"You see..." Eleanor looked at Amber and began explaining it to her, causing Amber’s jaw to drop to the ground.

Gulp.

"Holy shit, Victor, you have such an overpowered item! I also want to see it!" Amber urged excitedly.

"Fine, fine," Victor said as he closed his eyes, and his body immediately began crackling with black lightning.

As the lightning faded, a white knight’s armor with black engravings appeared in its place, crackling with electricity. There were horns made of pure lightning on his shoulder pads, and in his hand was a black sword lined with glowing red patterns.

Victor opened the details of the Soul Weapon.

Seal ????

---------

Hiss—

Victor sucked in a deep breath as he read the description of the skills he had obtained. Even one out of the three could provide an extremely powerful edge in battle, and the third was simply heaven-sent. Who knew what kind of enemies he would face after already encountering a Tier 4 beast all of a sudden?

’At least my lack of close-range combat has been covered with this,’ Victor thought inwardly. Then his lips twitched when he saw the condition for unlocking Seal 2.

’How the hell am I supposed to find so many Epic-ranked items?’ Victor cried inwardly as his face darkened.

"Woah, this soul weapon is even better than the ones I have read about. They only mentioned items like daggers and swords, but this is the first time I’ve learned of the existence of soul weapons that could be armors as well," Eleanor’s eyes gleamed as she looked Victor up and down.

Victor smiled faintly beneath the helmet and nodded his head. In outer space, he had seen a few soul weapons, as they were rare even there, and he had only seen two or three armor-type soul weapons.

"Hey, can you give me a demonstration?" Eleanor asked as she pleaded to Victor. She was behaving like a little fangirl who had met her idol.

"Sure." Victor nodded, as he was also curious to test out the power of the technique.

Roar!

Victor looked at a small group of monsters rushing toward them and tightened his grip on the sword.

He first wanted to test the close-range combat capabilities and durability of the armor, and this was just the perfect opportunity.

He turned into lightning and instantly appeared right in front of a Tier 2 beast. The beast was startled and struck its large claw against the armor.

Bang!

"Howl!" the beast roared in pain as it felt its claw shatter upon striking the armor, it had a look of disbelief on it’s face.

"Not bad." Victor’s eyes lit up upon seeing the power of the defense, as not a single scratch appeared on it.

Slash!

Victor swung his sword and directly cleaved through the monster’s body like a hot knife through butter.

"Alright, let’s leave now, or more might come out," Victor said in a serious voice, and everyone nodded their heads in agreement.

"I will return to my family estate. Maybe I will visit you later," Eleanor said as she gave a wink and activated the teleprotation device she carried and vanished from the spot.

Victor shook his head, and after everyone grabbed each other, he took Amber by the waist and activated the teleportation device.
