Re-Birth Of A Genius. Creator/Destroyer Chapter 281: Cursed Sword

Sam looked at the black colored single-edged sword. It is fully covered with black colored fog.

It is a Cursed weapon.

Cursed weapons are inherently weapons which are possessed by the spirits, but they will be considered cursed when a person who nurtures the spirit of a weapon couldn't control and gain acceptance of the weapon spirit which makes the weapon go astray and the cultivator's spirit would be devoured by the weapon spirit if he forcefully tries to wield it despite not being accepted by the weapon.

If it is only that then there is nothing much to worry about, but the problem is the cursed weapons which gained sentience will start nurturing themselves, they might nurture themselves with a certain element of neutral spiritual energy.

And when reached a certain level, they will have their inherent special move.

This special is a great enticement to the cultivators which makes it highly desirable. It will increase the attack power by many folds. So, every expert wants to try their luck at a cursed weapon.

But the normal spirit weapons are rarity themselves, much less cursed weapons.

So, the enticement is too high.

Murali used this enticement as the last obstacle for the winner. If the winner's will is strong enough and he can deal with all the greed and obstacles he might face, he might have a chance to tame the sword.

The rest of the candidates are watching the sword with brightly lit eyes. They are from various powers, but they heard about the cursed weapons and particularly this weapon, the Shadow Sword.

The cursed weapon that appeared in this world's history time and again.

Every person who wielded this sword was a tyrant in their own time. They all stood above their peers and ruled an era, but they eventually defeated by the sword's spirit.

Sam looked at the aura that this sword is projecting, he walked towards the platform slowly and held it by the handle.

He could feel the unknown presence that is trying to resist his grip on the sword.

The spirit weapons have one thing in common, and that is they are too prideful and the pride is so much that there are some rules they abide by willingly.

The Spirit will give a chance to the wielder by competing with him in a mental battle. It would even restrict its level to that of the wielder and compete fairly.

n.o.body knows, how this thing came into existence, but these rules were followed strictly.

Another thing is, before obtaining the acceptance from the spirit, the weapon couldn't be kept inside any storage device.

Essentially, they could still teleport and move with the wielder. But they wouldn't be p.r.o.ne to any spatial transfer which might move them to a restricted s.p.a.ce.

Sam tried to move the sword to the divine dimension, but this rule still applied to that and restricted the movement.

Sam didn't think. Currently, the spirit seemed to be dormant and this could be related to the place they are in.

Sam took out a cloth made of Heaven Spirit silk and wrapped the blade in it as he hung the blade on his back.

As the candidates are watching the scene, all of them suddenly flashed, and before they even realized, they reappeared at the respective cities where the towers were present before.

Sam and his friends re-appeared at the same spot, where the tower will used to be.

As soon as they appeared, they were stunned a bit but soon realized that they are in a familiar place.

Sam could feel that there is still a temporary seal on the sword, it is as if the spirit was forcefully put to sleep for some time by an external force. Anyway, that is still helpful to him as he has some matters to deal with before he could concentrate on the sword.

They went to Sam's mansion and after some rest, the next day, they all sat in the hall as his friends wanted to say something to him.

Hawk decided to leave, as he knew there is nothing much he could do to Sam, not only that, he also realized the gap between him and the rest of the candidates from the other regions and the world is much bigger than his imaginations.

"I don't know, how I can repay you. But if you want me to do anything in the future, please do not hesitate. I am eternally grateful for everything you have done to me." With those words, hawk left after giving Sam a bow. It is just as Hawk thought, there is not much help he can give Sam at this moment and it is even a mystery if Sam would need his help in the future.

The Goodbyes didn't stop there though. Sam was surprised when his three friends wanting to leave as well. Seeing his looks of surprise Philip chuckled and said.

"What? Do you think, you are not having enough of your one-man show? We are not much help to you in many things and we are also becoming quite spoiled with you around us. We will see you in six months in your new city." Philip didn't wait for his reply and boarded the Level-4 beast which he obtained from the Duke previously and left the place.

Jack also nodded at Sam without saying anything and left. Now, only Watt remained.

"You want to go as well?" Sam asked.

"Yes."

"Then, what are you waiting for? Just be careful on your journeys. If there is any problem, just visit the nearby Artisan tower. They would have had our pictures in their possession by now. You wouldn't have any problems there."

"No, boss. It is not about that. It is about Felicia. I wasn't able to examine her character due to this inheritance thing. So, before I come back, don't cook the rice."

Sam didn't even bother to listen to his nonsense and sent him flying with a kick.

"What the h.e.l.l going through your mind? Do you think, I am that thirsty?" Sam is having enough of it. He doesn't even know where Watt got this idea. He was completely exasperated. He is even suspecting that Philip has influenced Watt very badly.

Philip, who took off on his beast sneezed. He doesn't know that he who was completely innocent was being implicated by Watt's actions.

"FELICIA," Sam called her with a shout. The blonde lady ran towards him in anxiousness.

"Pack all your stuff, you have to leave with Watt and travel with his for six months, do not leave his side. Ask your brother to prepare too. He will follow me to New city."

He didn't even give her enough to greet him and just gave out instructions.

Felicia nodded her head and left the place in a hurry. Watt who just stood up and still feeling groggy from the hit tried to say.

"But Boss…" His words stopped in his throat when he saw Sam's gloomy look.

"You have something to say?" Sam asked with eyes full of fury. Watt gulped in fear and said.

"N… No… Boss. Good Bye. See you in six months." With that, he left the place on Falck.

Sam looked at the horizons as he thought of all the time they spent together. He felt that they are right. Subconsciously, he was being too possessive taking all the pressure off of them.

And in turn, he is robbing away their opportunities to grow their strength and will.

He started making preparations to leave for his city. Sam's City.

Sam now has to speed up the plans for everything that he has planned.

He traveled on Vulture to reach the city, but when as soon as he landed in the city, the first thing that greeted him is the presence of the Emperor. Arc is here for some reason and he seemed to have come here overnight.

Both of them sat in a private room.

"May I know, why you are here?"

Sam asked directly.

"I heard that you cleared all four inheritances of Murali and even have a Cursed weapon named Shadow Sword in your possession." He glanced at the shadow sword which was still wrapped in silk as he spoke.

"Yes, it is true."

"I am here to warn you about this situation. Murali is not a small figure and the news about you might have reached all the powers on the planet. There would be many attempts on you and your friends. May I know where they are?"

"They went on to travel the continent." Arc seemed to be a bit troubled by this.

"It would be difficult if they have to deal with the troubles alone. Is there a way to contact them?"

"There is no need for that. They want to face some trouble themselves to see how they can fare without me and I am quite confident in them. Anyway, the s.p.a.ce-gate formation is in your control, isn't it? Wouldn't you know if they really come?"

Arc sighed and said.

"That is the main problem. There are other methods in the hands of these powers. They can send anyone below the Nascent stage to certain locations without needing s.p.a.ce-gate formations, just based on coordinates."

"Really?" Sam was surprised.

"Yes, these major powers all have the spatial element users within their hands. From childhood, the people who are awakened with s.p.a.ce elements are trained in all kinds of transportation and auxiliary abilities in restricted conditions so that they will be used for these aspects.

They wouldn't even be able to develop high combat power due to a lack of skills and resources provided. But still, they are considerably elites just that they wouldn't be able to take the authoritative positions.

All of them are quite afraid that a person with spatial abilities can easily overcome them if properly cultivated.

They could have just killed them, but they just wanted this ability to transfer their people to different places which made them keep their lives.

Be careful. I heard that you would be taking care of your abilities for the next six months. You would be constantly moving, I hope you would be safe."

Sam thought about this and nodded.

"Thanks for the reminder. But don't worry. As long as they are not Nascent stage cultivators, I might be able to handle things. By the way. I have something else to discuss with you.

Since you have newly expanded the empire, wouldn't you be short on funds to recover the damages and renovate the cities? You want to earn some easy money?"
