Earth's Best Gamer - Chapter 224
Chapter 224: Fusion: Soul Slasher
In the Guo house in Xiangyang City…
Inside a guest room, Ji Ye sat cross-legged on the ground while considering what to fuse this time.
This place must be the safest place in the entire Xiangyang City.
After Guo Jing sent out a lot of invitations, the Guo house had been visited by a lot of well-renowned elders and martial artists who were above Extraordinary Rank-5.
The place was also supervised by Huang Yaoshi, an Extraordinary Rank-7 expert, who set up multiple arrays at the center. Besides, the guards of the house were the “Yue Army” that Huang Rong personally trained according to the Book of Wumu. They were as strong as the special units of Yuan!
In addition, because Huang Rong and Guo Jing were the central persons on their side, the other settlements had sent people to protect them openly and secretly too.
It was safe to say that this place was a hundred times safer than the military camp.
Therefore, Ji Ye needn’t worry that he would be assassinated during the fusion.
However, what was to be fused this time?
After Ji Ye considered for a while, the Void Ring on his hand emitted a purple glow.
In the next moment, a translucent straight saber more than three feet long appeared in his hand. It was exactly the Soul Slasher that belonged to the Shadow Assassin leader of Yuan!
Of course, theoretically speaking, the weapon wasn’t a product of the Yuan civilization but one from the battle participants from Earth, or to wit, a product from a certain comic!
Of course, it was just a speculation, and the result wouldn’t be confirmed until the fusion was completed.
“Fuse!”
As Ji Ye gave out the order with his mind, the translucent body of the Soul Slasher suddenly emanated the white and silver light.
Also, probably because the saber was Superior, a silver light that was much brighter than that of the Yellow Mallet was revealed.
The time of the fusion was almost twice as long too.
The radiance of fusion didn’t disperse from Ji Ye’s chest until it was high noon.
The previously translucent saber in Ji Ye’s hand had now turned completely black.
It was so black that it seemed to be absorbing light, as if it were made of the purest souls!
“It’s… It’s really…”
Slightly exhausted, Ji Ye opened his eyes in delight.
It was because this weapon was very similar to that from the comic. There were only some mild differences.
Ji Ye was so delighted because the Soul Slasher was undoubtedly the greatest harvest he obtained after he entered the Battlefield of Providence. It could rank first or second among all of Ji Ye’s items that contained Transcendent power!
It mainly had three abilities.
Firstly, this saber could transform the soul power into a dual attack both on the mind and on the body.
Also, the greater its user’s soul power was, the more formidable the attack would be!
Ji Ye’s soul power had already reached Extraordinary Rank-5. However, because it could only be transformed from the Totem Wolf Skin earlier, he didn’t really have any effective methods of soul attack.
With this Soul Slasher, it would be easier for him to deal with certain soul creatures.
Also, it must be noted that the souls and the bodies of most creatures were interdependent.
Take human beings for example. The power of their flesh and blood could resist the soul power, and the soul creatures could be hurt by the inner strength and True Qi that Extraordinary human beings possessed. It was also why the Soul race didn’t simply lunge at human beings in the previous battle.
However, by turning the soul power substantial, it would be possible to avoid the shortcoming!
However, such “substantiation” was only an Extraordinary ability of this saber. What was really amazing about the weapon was its Transcendent feature.
Unlike the abilities of other Transcendent items, this Soul Slasher’s ability was actually based on the features of every individual soul.
For example, the Shadow Assassin leader had acquired the ability to indirectly hurt and even destroy the target’s soul by executing their shadow after melting his soul power into the Soul Slasher!
That was truly a weird ability.
However, because he couldn’t fuse the weapon like Ji Ye, the Shadow Assassin leader didn’t really know that.
Therefore, during that battle, the Shadow Assassin had mostly counted on the sharpness of the Soul Slasher, which could hurt both the body and the soul, to behead Ji Ye’s Dragon Aura clone, and the Transcendent ability of the weapon wasn’t used at all!
Of course, even if he had hit Ji Ye’s real body, he might not necessarily be able to hurt Ji Ye.
It was because Ji Ye also carried the Alpha Wolf’s Mark, which could resurrect his soul like the Soul Alpha Wolf could.
Of course, because the Soul Slasher had different abilities in different hands, its new Transcendent feature was no longer “Shadow Kill” but “Soul Absorption”.
“Theoretically speaking, after the Transcendent power in it is activated, the Soul Slasher will continuously absorb the souls around and transform them into the power of the weapon itself to increase its attack power!
“Furthermore, it can absorb the target’s soul power during the attack and weaken them!”
Ji Ye extended his finger and touched the black saber.
Because he was melted with his soul power, and he had just fused it, he felt that he was touching his own soul. The saber was cold, profound, and oddly familiar!
However, the feature of soul absorption sounded familiar and no different from the Totem Wolf Skin’s ability.
Also, it sounded not nearly as powerful as the assassin’s “Shadow Kill” at all.
Actually, the two abilities weren’t exactly the same.
It was because the Soul Slasher’s Transcendent feature was “Soul Absorption” instead of “Soul Power Absorption”!
The real usage of the Transcendent power was actually to directly absorb the target’s soul.
What would happen after the absorption?
Ji Ye hadn’t quite figured that out yet.
His Fusion talent was only Extraordinary at this moment. Although he could fuse those special items, he couldn’t really understand the Transcendent abilities yet!
However, the weapon was already powerful enough as it was.
Theoretically speaking, as long as it absorbed enough soul power, he would be able to carry out greater power than his own soul level with this saber!
In particular, he was on the Battlefield of Providence where two countries were at war.
How much soul power would this saber absorb after a battle?
It probably wouldn’t be a problem for the Soul Slasher to surpass the upper limit of the Battlefield of Providence and reach Extraordinary Rank-8 or even Rank-9!
By then, not just the Yuan king, even the Yuan emperor would’ve been killed by one slash!
“Also, I remember that the Soul Slashers in the comic have two forms, namely Shikai[1.Initial Release] and Bankai[1].
“This incomplete Transcendent item must be the Shikai, right?
“If I upgrade it with a Stone of Civilization in the future or fuse it with another Transcendent item after the Fusion talent is upgraded to the Transcendent level, this weapon will definitely be more powerful!”
After he touched the Soul Slasher carefully with his fingers, Ji Ye loosened his hand, and the black Soul Slasher faded and melted into his body.
It was exactly the Soul Slasher’s third ability.
Because it was said to be made of the soul of the God of Death in the comic, the weapon could be stored in his own soul after the fusion, exactly like the Soul Mask.
“Well, since this saber can ‘absorb souls’, should I call it ‘Soul Collector’? Well, it doesn’t sound very cool. I might as well call it ‘Soul Cutter’!”
In the end, Ji Ye gave the weapon a name.
“Okay!”
At this moment, Ji Ye sensed something.
He raised his head and looked in a direction outside of Xiangyang City.
“Is the Yuan army finally ready for another battle?”
