The Author's POV

Chapter 378

"Is that my sword?"

My eyes flickered slightly after opening. It took me a couple of seconds for my eyes to recover from the previous bright light.

But the moment I recovered, my eyes focused on the sword that was being dangled in Malvil's hands.

Standing up, I reached out for the sword.

"May I?"

"It's yours."

Malvil handed me the sword.

Buzz

The moment my hand touched the sword, intense light exploded from it. This time, I wasn't blinded.

Next, my eyes opened up in amazement as I watched the sword in my hand gain a faint green luster. At a single glance, I could see just how powerful the sword was as the mana in the atmosphere agglomerated towards it at terrifying speeds.

The sword was about half a meter in length, glossed in a matt black color, and gazing at its sharp body that made it seem as though it could cut anything, my lips curled up in satisfaction.

"It's pretty light."

I muttered as I focussed my attention back onto the sword and moved my hand up and down to test its weight.

It was a lot lighter than I had originally anticipated.

In fact, it was so light that I thought that was holding onto a feather.

"Try injecting mana into it."

Malvil said from the side. Sitting down on a stool, he rested his arm on the table behind him and nudged his head in my direction.

"Instead of checking it directly, why don't you try seeing for yourself just what the sword can do."

"Inject my mana?"

"Yeah."

"Okay."

With a slight nod, I did as Malvil instructed and channeled my mana into the sword.

Buzz

Another low buzz suddenly sounded. Then, without me noticing anything, the ground beneath me began to creak, as fine miniature crevices started to expand from the bottom of my feet.

"What the..."

After that, my hands which were holding onto the sword started to become heavier as my muscles bulged upwards, trying their best to keep the sword in position.

"What in the world!"

I shouted as I turned to look in Malvil's direction.

"What is going on?"

"Calm down."

With a calm look on his face, extending his hand in my direction, he pointed at the sword.

"That over there is the ability of your sword."

"This? Ability?"

Lowering my head, I focused my attention back on the sword in my hands.

'Is the ability that Malvil is talking about, the ability to change the mass of the sword as I will?'

This ability reminded me of the ability of one of the artifacts that I previously owned.

It was a ring if I didn't remember wrongly. It could change its mass upon changing its settings. I quite liked it too, but unfortunately, it was now long gone as it broke during the explosion that led me to…that place.

Taking a deep breath and stopping my mana flow, the sword in my hand returned to its normal mass and I glanced around the place.

"Let me test this in a different location."

I then turned to face Malvil.

"Do you perhaps have a scabbard?"

"A scabbard?"

"Yeah, I kind of need it…"

The Keiki style could still work without the scabbard, but I was just so used to it by now that it felt weird without it.
