Pokémon: My Dad is Kyurem

Chapter 221 The Realm of Weapons

Qi Hao and Bai Yu sat facing each other.

Qi Hao had a premonition that the unknown side of this world would be revealed to him.

While Pokémon trainers are undoubtedly the mainstream in the world, Arceus clearly hasn't completely blocked all other paths.

"The so-called Radiant Soul is the glory of a weapon, and the so-called weapon soul formed from it is the Radiant Soul!" Bai Yu raised the Kikuichimonji at his waist, which emitted a faint golden light.

"All weapons possess a radiant soul, but most are too dim to be seen with the naked eye. Only when the radiant soul is strong enough can it emit a unique light, like my Kikuichimonji."

"I see..." Qi Hao nodded thoughtfully.

"But Kikuichimonji is a special case, so the first lesson for beginners is to be able to see the weapon's soul. If you can't even do that, I suggest you use your fists like that savage Song Chenggong." Bai Yu said, not forgetting to tease Song Chenggong.

"Huh... Song Chenggong can't even see it?" Qi Hao was embarrassed. Is there even a threshold to getting started?

Bai Yu shook his head, ignoring Qi Hao's sigh. Song Chenggong was simply unwilling to learn, but someone who wasn't even willing to learn this would never be able to succeed in the field of weaponry.

“Weapons with powerful Radiant Souls are usually sentient.” Bai Yu gently stroked the scabbard and continued, “They will choose their own masters. Only those they recognize can become their true masters and unleash their power.”

Qi Hao clenched his fist slightly, his heart filled with longing. After all, who wouldn't yearn to possess their own powerful weapon and unleash their true strength?

Bai Yu looked at Qi Hao, a strange glint in his eyes: "The reason you can't draw your sword is because the sword doesn't recognize you."

He pointed to the Village Rain apron at Qi Hao's waist.

"It's not a normal knife, but a blood knife that has killed at least a hundred people!"

Bai Yu emphasized the words "Blood Blade." If an ordinary person were to wield this blade, it might even turn against them and cause them to go on a killing spree. Fortunately, it was in Qi Hao's hands; otherwise, Bai Yu would have had to intervene and take control of the blade.

"If you don't have the will to kill, it won't respond to you, because its blood-red radiant soul is destined to be drawn only for 'killing'! In other words, it's not suitable for you, and you're not suitable for it."

"Hundred Slashes... Blood Blade?" Upon hearing this, Qi Hao looked at the blade at his waist and swallowed hard.

This knife belongs to Xue Luoyan. What must Xue Luoyan have gone through to acquire such a weapon?

Qi Hao smiled bitterly to himself, realizing he knew too little about Xue Luoyan and that he was truly an incompetent older brother.

However, Xue Luoyan wasn't even sure if Lian Qihao could use it, but she still left the weapon behind.

Thinking of this, Qi Hao's lips curled up slightly.

Trust is an extension of bonds.

"Alright, let me tell you about the classification of weapons." Bai Yu said, raising the Kikuichimonji and pointing the hilt at Qi Hao. "Draw it and cut me."

"What? Me?" Qi Hao pointed at himself. He couldn't even pull out the Murasame, how could he possibly pull out the Kikuichimonji?

"Hurry up, just pull it out without worry. Kikuichimonji and Blood Blade are not the same."

Now that things have come to this point, it would be impolite for Qi Hao to refuse again.

Unexpectedly, Qi Hao easily pulled out the Kikuichimonji.

Feeling the blade in his hand, Qi Hao didn't hesitate and slashed at it.

Bai Yu did not resist, nor did he react at all. The knife stopped a few centimeters away from Bai Yu.

"This is a divine weapon. A divine weapon does not fawn over its master, a divine weapon does not kill, a divine weapon only cuts down the stronger. This is the glory of being a divine weapon." Bai Yu said, pinching the blade between two fingers and lifting it casually.

Qi Hao inexplicably dropped the Kikuichimonji from his hand, but Bai Yu caught it again and sheathed it.

"A divine weapon?"

Everything today is constantly challenging Qi Hao's understanding.

"This sword was originally forged for a divine beast, but the person who forged it did not consider whether the divine beast needed a weapon. It is a pity that such a weapon had no master for more than three hundred years before it met me."

"Who?" Qi Hao asked, referring naturally to the divine beast!

"Holy Pillar King Regigigas!" As Bai Yu uttered this name, Kikuichimonji flashed with golden light, undoubtedly confirming this.

Qi Hao didn't ask any further questions about the weapon's size, because he had already guessed it from the enormous sword energy he had seen earlier, which meant that this weapon was beyond his comprehension.

"The divine weapon understands its duty. It has no excessive consciousness, so anyone can draw it. The duty of a weapon is to be used. It only maintains the most basic bottom line of being a divine weapon: not to cut the weak, not to kill the innocent, and not to kill its master."

"Its radiant soul is born for the gods."

"What a fine knife!" Qi Hao exclaimed, without using any excessive adjectives, for he believed that elaborate descriptions would only be an insult to it.

Teaching continues, and Qihao's horizons begin to broaden.

"There are two ways to enhance the Soul of Glory. Taking a sword as an example, one way is like my sword, where glory forges its soul. An ordinary weapon, after experiencing battles, acquires its own 'history' and gradually becomes what is known as an unnamed sword."

"That is: a sword that leaves its mark on history, but is not yet worthy of leaving its name. At this stage, if you can see it, the Radiant Soul will turn into a transparent white, and at this time the sword can create sword energy on its own."

"So why does the knife produce sword energy when it cuts?" Qi Hao interjected.

"(｀へ′) Is this the point?! My sword and saber are inseparable, okay?!" Bai Yu was a little annoyed. Was this really such an important question? Besides, Song Chenggong had asked this question before! He was seriously teaching right now! Are you two, master and disciple, so distracted?! You just need to know what it means!

After calming himself down, Bai Yu continued:

"Next comes the Imprinted Blade, which is a blade imprinted with intelligence due to the weight of history. At this stage, the Blade's Soul turns azure blue and it will also possess some specific abilities, which are often related to the past. At this stage, the weapon will begin to choose its master."

"After clarifying its responsibilities, the seal knife cuts off too much of its own ego, breaking down and then rebuilding, thus becoming a divine weapon."

"What about the other one?" Qi Hao asked impatiently.

“The other kind of Radiant Soul can also be considered to come from history…” Bai Yu paused, as if he remembered something.

Qi Hao saw that Bai Yu, whose body was clearly made of ice, had a drop of ice-like sweat on his forehead.

As the saying goes, "the face reflects the heart," and Bai Yu had clearly thought of something unpleasant.

After a long silence, Bai Yu finally spoke.

"The other Radiant Soul mainly comes from slaughter, or rather, from the history etched by slaughter. This is theoretically the fastest path. The Hundred Slashes are the condition for the first stage, just like this Blood Blade in your hand."

"The Blood-Red Soul has a blood-red soul, and the blade is also stained with blood. Although it is theoretically the simplest method, ordinary blades may be scrapped before killing a hundred people. Therefore, the prerequisite for the Blood Blade is that the foundation must be strong enough."

Upon hearing this, Qi Hao thought to himself, "Of course it's tough! Murasame is a high-frequency vibrating cutting knife! The technology is extremely advanced! And can you please stop making murder sound so casual?"

"The second stage is the Thousand-Man Slayer - Demon Blade. In this stage, the Blade's Radiant Soul turns purple and, like the Seal Blade, possesses special abilities. It is also the only stage where it can self-repair by consuming its Radiant Soul. This type of Blade's Radiant Soul comes from slaughter..."

"So this thing is a perpetual motion machine? It kills people to obtain Radiant Souls, the Radiant Souls repair themselves, and then it goes back to kill people?" Qi Hao exclaimed in amazement. The key point was that this was not even the final stage!

"You can think of it this way: because the knife itself has changed, the blood color will gradually fade, eventually reaching the state of killing without staining the skin."

"And this final stage is—the slaying of ten thousand! The Demon Blade!"

After speaking, Bai Yu paused and remained silent for a long time.

"Say something? Did you get stuck?" Qi Hao couldn't help but ask. "What are you doing now that we've already gotten this far?"

“No, I was thinking about how far away that weapon is from us right now, and that’s also why I let the Divine Deer in.” Bai Yu’s tone became solemn.

"What does this mean? Someone brought a demonic sword to the amusement park??" Qi Hao was dumbfounded. Seriously? The one who could kill ten thousand people was right next to me?!

"After the massacre of ten thousand people, the Radiant Soul disappears, leaving behind only mountains of corpses and seas of blood. If it is placed in one place, people within a radius of several miles will start killing each other. Only when someone who truly controls it appears can it be suppressed."

"The only known demonic sword in the world is in the hands of an international war criminal. He is fully armored, possesses six weapons with different functions, and has never revealed his true face. Moreover, it is known that he was involved in the war between humans and elves when the elves first appeared four hundred years ago!"

"And that one and only demonic blade is one of his six weapons—the Demon Sword Yama Blade!"

(I am the storm that is approaching!~)

"Holy crap!" Qi Hao couldn't hold back anymore; his worldview had completely shattered!

"His name is—Dark Knight! Qi Hao, remember his name. He's right here. If you encounter him, run! He's currently the most invincible beast below the level of a divine beast!"
