Chapter 153 Silver And His Scythe

"Hey mother, can I go into a lower level dungeon to try out the scythe." Silver looked up to Shaman with excitement as he wanted to test out his new weapon.

"We will have to see if there is a low level dungeon around, but first we have to get you registered at the adventurers guild. We will have to go speak to Freja to officially sign you up, so for now just use [Shadow walk] and sneak in with us." Shaman wasn't against the idea, but the age of entry was 18 for adventurers and seeing Silver looked 13 with no real ID, it would be hard for him to sign up through any normal means.

"Oh yeah, Rea gave me a system and it said I can access a shared inventory since I am your son." Shortly after getting the system from Rea, Silver received many notifications telling him of the benefits.

"Oh? Rea, did you do that?" Shaman was a little suspicious as this is a first for Rea to use one of Shaman's skills of her own volition, but this was also directly related to the system so it did not seem unreasonable.

[Yes I did it, you don't need to worry about some other being interfering and stealing Silver] Rea reassured Shaman that nothing suspicious happened.

"You had me stressed out for a moment, don't do that again and wait until I am around at least." Shaman, knowing that there are other system users, did not rule out the possibility that higher beings could take advantage of the situation.

[Aha it's okay even if it wasn't me. Due to your bond with him through the system, Silver would have been completely fine]

"That's good to know. Anyways, we need to go find a dungeon, so let's go look for an adventurer hall to see if there is one in the city." Shaman was relieved to hear that Silver would have been safe anyway.

"Yesss!" Silver smiled and Shaman was once again filled with joy seeing his excitement.

'AHHH he is so precious!' Shaman was internally screaming, wanting nothing more than silver to smile.

"Well let's hurry, we don't have much of the day left." Elysia was both eager to see Silver in action as well as finally have her night with Shaman.

"First we will head over there towards that tall building." Shaman looked around for any obvious buildings that could be the adventurers guild, as they didn't have a map or know where they were at.

Looking down the street, the first building to catch Shaman's attention was different from the other general store buildings and was much taller, making it a sort of a landmark.

Making their way towards the building, which started to look more like an office building the closer they got, Shaman was able to see a sign at the front.

"Adventurers Guild."

"Looks like my intuition of going to the tallest building has still yet to fail me." Shaman knew that important buildings like a guild would always have some defining trait making them easy to find.

"Now Silver, make sure not to say anything that indicates that you are coming with us to the dungeon." Elysia Leaned over so she was eye level with Silver. Although they could just sneak in, if they didn't need to, there was no point in breaking the rules.

"Mhm." Silver nodded and Shaman looked at Elysia with a smug look as it seemed her motherly side had started to come out.

Elysia quickly looked away blushing since she couldn't help herself.

"Hehe~" Shaman giggled, finding this side of Elysia cute.

Walking into the adventurers guild, Shaman and Elysia were holding Silver's hand as they approached the front desk.

"Hello, how can I help?" a rather young male half dog was behind the desk in a suit and a pair of glasses.

'Hey, we are wondering if there are any dungeons around here and what tier would they be?" Shaman responded to the half dog, who thanks to her new mature look ended up blushed slightly as Shaman looked rather beautiful.

Elysia spotted this so she glared at the half dog and he quickly shook off the thoughts he was having.

"Aha we have a few dungeons which are behind the building and they range from tier 3 to 6. For the higher level dungeons you would need Empress Freja's permission to enter." Cold sweat went down the half dog's neck as he answered, hoping that Elysia wouldn't murder him.

"Sweet, thank you, can we also see if we are eligible for a rank up?" Shaman knew it had been a rather long time since they visited a guild hall and had a lot of Terikin cores to hand in.

"Oh sure thing." Reaching underneath the desk, the half dog pulled out a crystal tablet.

Shaman put her hand on the tablet showing her rather outdated information.

"Wow! You haven't checked in for a while, do you have the appropriate tier cores so we can register you straight to rank C?" The tablet emanated a yellow light indicating the level Shaman was.

Shaman reached into her inventory pulling out a bunch of Terikin cores.

"Make sure to keep enough for my girlfriend Elysia." Shaman gestured with her head to who Elysia was.

Silver looked with curiosity, as although he had seen it before, he never really took interest in guild procedures. He also found that ever since gaining his own humanoid form, the world around him felt more alive and many new things now caught his interest.

The dog nodded and taking a few cores of terikin to verify Shaman's achievements, updated her details. Elysia then put her hand on the tablet and received the same colour as Shaman. The half dog updated Elysia's details and then processed the rest of the cores into gold.

Handing over a bag of a few hundred gold, Shaman deposited it in her inventory making money not a concern for a while.

"Also just so you know, you can't take the boy with you, he looks rather young." The half dog noticed the teenage boy between the girls and wanted to give them a friendly reminder.

"Oh it's okay we were just taking out our son. We were just stopping by before we dropped him off." Shaman smiled and took Silver's hand before walking out of the guild house alongside Elysia.

Entering the tier 4 dungeon, they soon discovered that the beasts in the dungeon consisted of armoured animal people. Although they had a human figure, the knights were mindless, making them attack anything that came near them. Their entire body was covered in fur and they acted like wild animals, but somehow still had their suits of armour on.

"Alright Silver, here is your scythe. It's time to show us what you got." Shaman pulled out the demon scythe she got from killing the skeleton knight the first time.

Silver nodded vigorously and held out his hands to receive the scythe.

Shaman placed it into Silver's hand and the scythe instantly began to change to fit his size.

'Well that's convenient, it did say the scythe can morph into other weapons, but I didn't know it changed depending on the user.' Shaman didn't expect it to change, however, the size was not the only thing that changed.

The scythe handle was completely black, but the blade turned into a dark grey with the sharp edge of the blade being black creating a gradient effect on the blade. At the base of the blade, a silver fox and a wolf head were carved with blue gems for eyes. This clearly represented Silver and his mother, making the scythe mean a whole lot more to Silver.

[Binding completed]

A system message appeared in front of Silver telling him that he had binded with the weapon. Just as he was hoping to get more of an explanation, a new window popped up with further details.

[User Silver has successfully binded with the demon scythe and will now be the only one who can wield the scythe. Any attempts of using this weapon by other people the user has not specifically allowed will result with them being drained of their mana and attacked with the user's main element. The scythe can be stored in a separate space and can be recalled at any moment. If the scythe is destroyed, the user will need mana and demon metal to restore it.]

Silver felt his head already hurting from all the information he was fed.

"Ohhh so that's what the demon metal is for, good thing we have a use for it now, otherwise I would have sold it." Shaman leaned over Silver's shoulder and read the system message he got.

"But why did the weapon suddenly bind to me and not you?" Silver was confused as Shaman touched the scythe many times.

"Probably because I did not accept the weapon, but since you fully accepted the weapon, the system must have recognised you as its new owner and bound it to you.

"Hmm, that makes sense, but I have to say Silver, you are looking quite nice with that scythe." Elysia who was a little further back got a good view of silver with the scythe and despite the innocent look he had, it fitted him quite nicely.

"Hehe~ thanks." Silver felt extremely happy and the wagging of his tail showed that.

"Alright now that that's out of the way, let's try out this scythe. Me and Elysia will be close by so if anything happens or you don't think you can handle it, call out to us." Shaman, although a little reluctant to let Silver go kill, didn't want to shelter him as he had great potential.

"Yes mother!" Holding the scythe in his right hand, Silver dashed off in the direction of a small castle that housed the beast knights.

Shaman and Elysia followed Silver, keeping a bit of distance, but not too far just in case anything happens.
