Chapter 116 ('He who cannot be named')

When Catherine heard what Alex said, she was surprised.

"Eh?, what did you say, this is the underground of the organization?." Catherine who was focusing her gaze on the portal, turned her face to Alex.

"Hey what's the matter? are you okay?." Catherine got panicked when she saw Alex, she was worried and quickly search for something in her pocket.

"What?, did something happen?." Alex who was surprised being repelled by the sword, turned to Catherine and asked

"Your eyes is bleeding!." Eva worriedly said, when she heard Catherine's anxious voice she also left her gaze from the portal and quickly got worried seeing Alex's eyes.

Alex who heard Eva, touched his face and look at the blood in his hand.

"Eh?." Alex was also surprised when he found out that his eyes is bleeding, because he knew what the cause is but he didn't expect that it would bleed.

"Let me wipe if for your, you should be careful." Catherine said who found a handkerchief is her pocket

"Mhn." Alex smiled, looking at her tender face

"Eh! good then, you should be careful next time." Catherine after she was over wiping the blood, and saw Alex's smile turned averted her eyes, and her face turned red a bit

"Are you okay now? what happened anyway?." Eva asked, although she was a bit jealous looking at the two of them. She sighed in her mind and thought she couldn't do anything about this but she didn't regret it, not one bit.

"I'm fine, it was just a rebound when I used one of my skill." Alex said

"What skill?." Catherine asked

"I have a something like an X-ray or a see-through skill you see and when I used it just now to look deeper at that sword." Alex said

"Eh? see-through? then you see through are bodies?." Eva said, and unconsciously covered her breast with her hands.

"You have a perverted skill like this? don't tell me when we first met, you were already looking at my body." Catherine said with a bit angry and embarrassed face

"Eh?, no-no I'm innocent I never used it to peek someone." Alex said quickly

Eva lowered her hands down and stopped covering her breast

"Humph!, right you should be, don't ever try to use it to peek at others, a-and i-if you c-can't hold it in a-anymore y-you can just l-look at me." Eva humped and her face turned red when she said her last sentence

"Yeah I agree with her, and I think you should better stop finding girls for now, y-you d-don't mind if I s-say that d-do you?." Catherine said but she stuttered at her last words because she thought that the time they spend together is still too little for her to say something like that.

"Hahahaha, right I will only look at you girls and it's okay for you to say something like that I don't mind." Alex laughed when he hears what Catherine said

"Eh? you really agree?." Eva asked she didn't expect him to agree easily, because she also wanted to say something like what Catherine said

"Mhn, it's fine there is already too many of you girls anyway, and if I ever wanted another woman I will tell you girls first okay?." Alex said

He didn't really mind them asking something like this as he also wants to spend time with them to strengthen their relationship.

When Alex laughed Catherine was really embarrassed because she couldn't think that she could say something like that.

"Okay-okay, I need to see this first." Alex said and walk towards the sword.

As he got closer and closer to the sword. He heard something or someone talk

"Do you want power?."

"Hm? did you hear something just now?." Alex turned and asked the two girls when he heard a faint voice

The two shook their head, implying that they didn't hear anything

"Oh.." Alex didn't say anything thinking that maybe he is overthinking things.

He continued.

"Do you want the power to kill everything that gets in your way?."

'There it is again, I guess it's just me who can hear it, since both of the seems to not hear anything.' Alex thought when he heard the voice again

"Do you want to have the power to make The Immortals Grovel, The Divine Kneels, The God Bows, The Devil Pleads, when they hear your name?

'Eh this dude really is so arrogant.' Alex thought and this time the voice became clearer

Alex keeps getting closer and closer while hearing the voice, of course he would be an idiot if he still doesn't know that the voice came from the sword, and it keeps tempting him.

As he continued to get closer and hears the voice, Alex was really annoyed and want to quickly close this guy's mouth because it was so arrogant. The God Bows? The Devil Pleads? Oh please who would believe you.

"Then Come.

"Come and hold this sword."

"Dear, be careful this is a high-grade spirit artifact." Sistine said

"Spirit artifact?." Alex asked

"Yeah that's right, do you remember when I taught you about artifacts?." Sistine asked

"Mn, I remember it is graded to one to nine stars." Alex said

"Correct, and a spirit artifact is the next level after a nine star artifact. The artifact would manifest a spirit after it became a spirit artifact. Mostly it is 1000 years and above would an artifact manifest a spirit." Sistine said

"So this sword is a spirit artifact?."

"Mn, spirit artifact are grade into three grades which is; Low grade, Mid grade and High grade." Sistine said

"And this spirit artifact is a High-grade spirit artifact?." Alex asked, he already arrive close to the sword

"Yes, be careful there are some cases that someone was possess by a spirit artifact because their will and soul is weak." Sistine said

"It should be fine." Alex said and reached out his hand

As if feeling Alex reaching out to it the sword shook and the covered old fabric got untied by itself. It's as if the sword was so excited

Alex finally picked it up and hold the sword

"Kukukukuku, finally this Great One has manifested, mere mortal give me your body."

The sword shook and shined with violet colored light and suddenly it transformed in his hand.

"Dear, careful this isn't your ordinary spirit artifact, it was disguising itself, it is actually a half-step Divine artifact." Sistine quickly said

The sword transformed.

The real appearance materialize.

It wasn't a sword.

It was a Scythe.

Legend says that there was a peerless-grade Universal artifact that claimed the life of God and Devils alike, until the Universe will interfered because it went against the law of the Universe.

It was an Anomaly.

It's holder was Unknown but deep in everyone's mind he was referred to as 'He who cannot be named'.

It took millions of years to destroy, that even the Heavenly Tribulation Lightning of Heaven couldn't even put a scratch on it while The Undying Hell Fire of Hell couldn't burn it.

Finally.

It vanished.

Lost in the river of Time.

Eons ago all myriad things know this name, and it struck fear in their mind.

It was called: The Heretic Scythe of the Soul Emperor

Now this legendary Anomaly appeared yet again...
