Earthling in Uncharted Dimensions

Chapter 130: Kiramium, The Scythe Of Souls

"The scythe is named 'Kiramium'. The name is etched on the handle itself. The origin of the weapon is unknown as we obtained this through an auction about 8 years ago. The person who auctioned the scythe found it inside a cave, wrapped by vines."

Lee glanced at the girl's face with a raised brow, and then turned towards the scythe. He scanned the unique shape in detail. The sandy brown colour designs running on the black background of the handle, and the deep grey curved blade with a design of few holes on it, was spectacular. The thirty centimetres long handle embedded sophisticated craftwork. Lee wanted to touch and feel the texture and material of the scythe, but D warned not to.

[The blade is made out of Sironite Metal. It has been corrupted to the core with all these wailing souls in it. The metal itself is an inducer of nightmares, so I can only assume that the person who made this weapon is a psychopath who would not even want to let the souls go free. If I am correct, Spotless might be able to liberate them from the torment.]

Lee heard the report and acknowledged the fact. D added that it is okay to buy it, because he is immune enough to its effects. So deciding to buy, Lee turned around and neared the girl.

"I would like to buy it!"

Unlike all the previous customers, Lee decided to buy the scythe and the girl was amazed. Many were attracted by the strangeness of the scythe, but not one exhibited their wish to but it. Maybe it was waiting for the right owner, she thought.

"Great choice, sir. Please follow me to the desk."

The girl enthusiastically spoke and led him to the reception. There was an older woman sitting at the desk and the girl conveyed Lee's wish to buy the scythe, to her. She blankly scanned him top to bottom and glanced at the scythe.

"It has been sitting there for a while and has been a major attraction to the customers. Judging from the delicate artwork on its body, it will cost about 190 gold coins."

Lee gave a frowned look at her. She understood what he was thinking and clarified the situation.

"It has been on display for over 8 years and it has not shown one sign of aging or corrosion. It will probably stay razor sharp for the next century and may even till the end of the times. That is why the price is high."

Lee nodded and asked D to do something.

'Transfer 200 gold coins into my original ring.'

Lee poked his fingers inside his pant's pocket and pulled out the ring he first brought when he was in Eturt village. He wore it in his left hand's ring finger and took out 190 coins from it. The coins started to fall on the counter and made clang noise continuously. The sound attracted the other customers inside the shop and they witnessed this sight. Lee stopped the flow of coins as the leftover gold inside the ring was reduced to 10.

"That is 190 gold coins."

The prize was pretty high for a normal weapon. The woman did not try to bargain the rate again, but she regretted underestimating the poor attire of the man. She would have added a few hundreds more, if he was in good attire. Without sparing a glance, Lee walked to the scythe and took it into his spatial ring. The souls embedded in the blade of scythe screamed more vigorously as the weapon went into the ring. The scream was audible to common folks, and many panicked upon hearing this. The whole ground floor of the Guild complex became chaotic, but none were able to pinpoint the origin of the screams. The woman at the counter had a slight doubt as to its origin, but Lee too acted being panicking and averted her assumption to the darkest night.

Putting up an act of caution and alert, Lee stepped out of the shop and moved towards the complex entrance. He consciously maintained the act and blended with the truly panicking bunch of people. He joined the flow of people who were rushing to exit the supposedly ghost haunted building.

[Lee, I have analysed the scythe and found some interesting facts. One, the souls trapped in the scythe's blade ranges to a diverse variety of animals. Two, all of these souls have one or more affinities and almost all kinds of elemental affinities can be sensed from them. Three, the blade acts as a container for housing the souls and the lack of attention and maintenance are what is causing the souls to wail continuously. Four, if you can calm and befriend them, then they could act as your army when necessary, and might even provide Essence when dormant.]

'Jackpot!'

[But you will have to do a lot of things before stepping into that stage. You see, it is utter chaos inside. The scythe is not in its best condition and if it is ever to break, then the trapped souls will go rampaging through the city.]

'Looks like we need to find someone immediately.'

Lee stepped towards the inn and his pace increased slowly. As he walked through the streets, the yellowish orange light of the day was inclining on the horizon.

A number of doubts began to rise in his mind as he leaped over the buildings and did acrobatic stunts in the flow. The people did not see his flashing figure because of his high speed, which was the visible expression of his train of thoughts. D inside his mind was doing some math when he immediately shouted out in alarm!
