Thank you.

Everyone from

When was studying the , the rest of the came over to crowd around him.

The only exception was who was lying in bed holding [] in one hand and [] in the other, knocking them together from time to time to make a tinkling sound, feeling quite pleased with itself.

Because it performed exceptionally well today, perfectly utilizing both [] and [], Dark rewarded it with a .

Upon getting the little red flower, Meowth immediately used it to offset its debt and buy a magic crystal coin.

As for the [ Jade] in its hand, it was the purple bead it had previously attained by using [], a product of a called Shield Turtle that could absorb physical impact and convert it into magic energy.

The function of this [Shield Turtle Jade] was highly reminiscent of 's []—it was a wonder whether it would be possible to use it to craft something similar.

But now, the item belonged to Meowth, and the right to use it was in its hands.

Moreover, Dark had obtained too many resources from today's dungeon adventure that he needed to tend to, so he had no time to pay attention to this purple bead for the time being.

……

After an interval of merely a few seconds, Dark injected his magic energy into the rusty sword for the second time.

This time, the magic energy he gathered was at least three times more than the previous time.

The rusty sword really reacted more intensely.

He thought for a moment, then suddenly reached out to firmly grasp the hilt of the sword, pouring in a large amount of magic energy through the contact of his palm!

His magic energy surged like a raging tide and rushed into the in an instant.

Sensing through his magic energy, he could clearly perceive a very complicated magic energy circuit engraved inside the shortsword.

The moment his magic energy poured in, it was absorbed and disintegrated by the magic energy circuit, dissipating without a trace like a ball of mud sinking into the sea.

But the rusty sword itself was trembling violently.

This was obviously not any sort of amicable reaction.

"Seems like it hates me."

Dark let out a chuckle—this was within his expectations.

A magic weapon sleeping inside a treasure chest, waiting to be awakened by the fated person—such plots were not uncommon.

It could only be said that he wasn't that fated person.

As for whether or not this rusty sword was truly one of those legendary holy swords, he actually didn't care too much.

"."

"Meow?"

Gatomon, who had its chin propped on top of the thinking about how to use the little red flower, leaped down upon hearing the call, making a graceful landing with its feet crossed and hands posed as though curtsying in a skirt.

Dark glanced at Lady Gatomon, then pointed at the rusty sword and said, "Have you learned how to mobilize magic energy? Come and give it a try."

"If it's just a normal release..."

Gatomon slowly walked over, passively controlling the perception and flow of magic energy through the stimulation of [].

Among the magical spirits, Gatomon’s learning progress consistently remained at the forefront.

It walked towards the rusty sword, reached out to grab the handle, and then released its magic energy.

Due to this, its magic energy—which made up the life force of magical spirits—was gradually being drained.

But []'s mechanism was steadily replenishing this loss.

Dark asked in anticipation, "Can you feel it?"

Gatomon replied with a frown, "Somewhat."

Just as it spoke, the rusty sword that had rejected Dark despite having swallowed his magic energy suddenly emitted a white light.

Thereupon, the white light began to emerge from the inside out and gradually shone through the entire length of the blade, turning it into something akin to a sword-shaped luminous body.

Under the illumination of this white light, the rust stains covering the surface of the blade astonishingly fell off!

……

"Damn!"

Seeing the development of the situation gradually surpassing his expectations, Dark's couldn't help but look surprised.

The magical spirits who were sitting and crouching by the side were all similarly very curious.

Especially , who had acquired the sword with its own hands. It was frantically flapping its wings—was it jealousy, envy, or hatred?

DemiDevimon only hated the unfairness of the world!

The one who took the sword was obviously it, so why did the sword respond to that stinky cat?

……

On the other hand, Gatomon had completely immersed itself in the interconnection of magic energy.

As the rust stains on the rusty sword completely fell off, its true appearance was subsequently revealed.

The hilt was as exquisite as an ornament, the ring at its end engraved with some kind of flower pattern. Although the blade was short, it was remarkably splendid and devoid of any scratch.

As its mind stirred during the perception process, Gatomon stretched out a finger to clasp the ring at the end of the hilt and tugged hard on it, pulling out a thin silver steel wire!

The steel wire was extremely long and would retract as soon as it was released.

Controlling it with magic energy would make it even easier to handle and use.

This set up alone had brought a drastic change to the shortsword's attack range and methods.

Be it temporarily using it as a throwable, turning it into a meteor hammer, or converting it into a spear by hardening the wire, all of these were viable approaches.

Gatomon released the ring, grasped back the hilt of the sword, then slashed it in the air for a couple of times before abruptly remarking, "It's very easy to use."

"Of course it is, don't you see that the white light on the sword has already crawled up your arm?"

[Envy +1]

At this time, Dark really wanted to look for White to confirm whether this sword was truly one of the legendary holy swords.

If it was, it meant that Gatomon, who was able to activate it, also possessed the aptitude of "the ".

It meant that it was one of the candidates of the Brave One of this generation!

"What on earth am I thinking?"

Dark found that his mind was a little muddled.

He patted his forehead to calm himself down.

According to his original plan, presuming that this rusty sword was of no use to him, he would try to find more suitable supplementary materials to try to use it to craft a magical spirit named [](独剑鞘).

Since the rusty sword rejected him, he would just just use it to craft a magical spirit.

Then it wouldn't reject him anymore, right?

In short, Dark’s plan was very feasible.

But the current situation had made him hesitate.

Gatomon was actually able to use it!

"Wait a second."

Dark smacked his forehead as an idea popped into his mind.

"Even if it can be used, if it can be crafted into [Honedge], wouldn't it be even easier to use?"

"After all, who doesn't want a sword that can move by itself?"

"At that time, I can even act like a sword cultivator, stepping on [Honedge] and riding on the sword to fly."

……

While Gatomon was trying to familiarize itself with the [rusty sword] that had become a [shortsword], it was completely unaware that Dark was planning to craft this holy sword that belonged solely to it into a magical spirit that everyone could use.

Such conduct of turning a private car into public use was truly vicious (meow!).
