399 Chapter 399

After hours of looking around and listening to Avre's explanation about each pills, Aldred and his friends finally decided on what to buy.

The soldiers bought mostly the Golden Wings pill and the pills that could grow their muscle comparable to that of a dragon.

They bought a lot of various pills that could increase their stamina, mana, sensory senses, aura sense, and reflexes.

"Are these all the pills you wanted?"

"Yeah, that would be enough," Aldred said. "Do others bought a lot from you."

"Of course they do. Just like you, they have a lot of mouths to feed. Far more mouths, actually."

Avre was probably talking about large organizations such as a noble house that had numerous subordinates. They probably earned a lot of Epic Crystals. That said, how could the inhabitants of this World Tree so damn rich?

"Avre, I want to ask some questions about the World Tree."

"Hmmm? Are you not from the World Tree itself?"

"No. Not really."

Avre blinked. 'Isn't he the son of one of the founder of this city?'

Then she realized something. The founder must had put his son away from this world, and leave that Golden Emblem with him.

Now it made much more sense.

She remembered that she had talked to the boy before. He had a very strange aura around him. She didn't know if it was because he was the son of the founder or if it came from his own power.

She decided to shake the thought out of her head. "Anyway, just by chance, are you willing to sell your weapon?"

"My Phantom Doomblade? Don't even think about it." Aldred smiled.

Avre smiled. "I figured so."

"But why do you want it?"

"I have something to ask you about it. What is this weapon made from?"

'',

"I am not sure. All I know is it has soul in it. It can communicate with me," Aldred said.

"So a soul weapon?"

"Oh, you know?"

"I have heard of them, but I have never lay my eyes on one of them. No wonder people always talked about these type of weapons. And by the looks of it, its power is limited by your rank."

"That is true." Aldred nodded. "If a Diamond Rank wielded it, it would unlock more of its power. But that power is far too strong for me."

"How powerful would it be if it was an Adamantite Rank?" Avre asked.

"I don't know. But I doubt I could ever wield it."

Avre sighed. "That's a pity." She looked at Aldred's soldiers. "Hmmm, I see your friends are still using low-grade weapons. Would you like to see our Epic Grade weapons, instead?"

"Sure!" The soldiers shouted.

Then they went to look at weapons section. To be honest, the soldiers' weapons were already really good, but for Avre, they were still mediocre.

It took two hours for the soldiers to decide on what they want. They looked at the swords, shields, machetes, axes, hammers, and all kinds of weapons.

"Our stores are inspired by the theme of our city. Dragons, so you will see a lot of weapons which resembles the dragons. Some of them were even made out of dragon scales. Don't worry. These scales were not forcefully taken. Dragons shed their scales every one hundred year or so, and we will collect them before forging them into armors and weapons."

"Oh, wow." One soldier looked at a sword that was forged from dragon scales. It was a huge axe, almost as long as an sword. "It's amazing. How much does this cost?"

Aldred looked at one white armor and activated his godly eyes.

"You have keen eyes," Avre said. "These are made out of dragon bones. Like we said, we never hurt dragons for it. These bones are made out of death dragons. And we are not the one who killed them."

"Does the dragons have any predator here?"

Avre laughed. "Of course not. They died either because they fought among themselves, or they died because of old age. Dragons are at the top of the food chain here. I don't think even an army can defeat a dragon. You must have seen it yourself. I am sure you know that a dragon can fly in the sky and you can only see its enormous shadow if you are at ground level."

"Now let me show you another item from our stores," Avre said. She took out a silver shield from her storage and handed it to the soldier.

"This looks nice," Jeffery said.

"You said that an entire army cannot defeat a dragon. Are the dragons here much stronger than normal?"

"Sure they have six powerful claws, and powerful scales. They are almost undefeatable. Not to mention hurting a dragon is a taboo here. Dragons generally did not disturb us as well. And whenever we encounter one, we would tell the tale for weeks."

'',

"Hmmm, six claws?" Aldred?" Aldred asked.

Stella nodded. "I have heard stories about the six claws dragons. They are far stronger than the dragons we encounter on our way which usually have three to four claws."

"I see." Aldred looked at the soldiers. "Have you picked what you wanted?"

They all nodded while bringing the dragon spears, dragon swords, dragon shields, and dragon armor.

"Alright," Aldred said. "We will get back to our rooms and equip ourselves with our new weapons."

As they walked back to the inn, they could hear the sounds of the armor clinking against each other.

"That was a satisfying purchase," Bartrem said. "I don't regret getting those golden wings pills. Maybe I can fly soon. Hahaha!."

They walked back to their inn, and when Aldred closed the door of his room. Mary began to undress and pushed herself to Aldred.

Aldred smiled and kissed her on the lips, until the Phantom Doomblade called for him.

He summoned the blade, and it radiated out an aura of gold and red.

"It's evolving," Aldred said as he watched the blade with his godly eyes.

"Is it?"

All his wives approached to take a look.

The Phantom Blade was one of a kind. It was a particular blade with a terrifying appearance. It was long, sharp with a little bent here and there and some small teeth. It was a sword made for the devil.

But then a sharp light radiated out, and the blade transformed. It still had its demonic appearance, but now it had a sense of royalty into it with some golden flair here and there.

A powerful shockwave pushed Aldred and his wives by a few steps. Stella casted a magic barrier.

"What a powerful aura," Aldred said. "This definitely worth the 130,000 Epic Mana Crystals."

"Even my father would think twice to obtain that much Epic Mana Crystals," Zafrina said. "And it would take months to buy them from various sources because realistically, no one had over 100,000 Epic Mana crystals lying around."

"What kind of sword was it anyway?" Mareona asked.

"Phantom Doomblade consumed a very powerful sword," Aldred said. "The only thing it lacked was a soul. But now it merged with a soul weapon, and its true power could be brought forth."

"How powerful can it be?" Ivette asked.

"I don't know," Aldred replied.
