Earth's Greatest Magus

Chapter 1352 Binding

After the two of them arrived at the blacksmith workshop, Emery could see the Ouroboros Princess giving a few nods as the two of them walked around the place, seeing some of the works that the blacksmith master had made.

"Well, they are doing a pretty good job, I should say. It's still not up to the standards of the Kazadun dwarves, but it should suffice for tier 5 weapons." She said to Emery after the tour. "

Satisfied with what she had seen, the two of them then headed towards the reception to request a soul binding service.

"A soul binding service? Certainly. Please wait a moment," answered the dwarf who attended the reception.

Emery swiftly brought out his dark blade [Savage Sword], while Silva did the same to her polished white [Gentle Sword]. The two swords were placed on the table as they waited for the dwarf to collect them to be processed.

Now that Silva was here, with the presence of the sword's other half, Emery's [Savage Sword] could finally be imbued to get an enhancement.

After checking the swords, the dwarf attendant then asked, "Do you already have a soul prepared for the procedure? If that's not the case, you can browse through our catalog and see if something suits your needs."

Emery had thought about this matter, and now that they were finally here, he was determined. He reached into his Spatial Space and took out the metal emblem that contained the female dark elf Lyanna Darkmoon.

Needless to say, when Emery poured his spirit energy to the emblem to show the dwarf the soul, a furious voice boomed loudly in his mind.

<You!! You really dare to embed me into a sword?!!>

Lyanna was a powerful peak stage elven magus, and with how impossible it was to catch the spirit soul of grand magus figure her soul could be considered one of the best souls to be used in a soul binding procedure.

Hearing her enraged words, Emery calmly voiced his side of opinion.

"I don't know when I will have the chance to deal with you in the future, and I definitely need all the advantages I can get for my next upcoming mission"

The female magus threw curses at Emery without stopping. Unfortunately for her, he decided to ignore them completely. Right now, Emery didn't care about her opinion at all as his mind was only about Klea and the others.

When she found out about this, Silva quickly said, "You have two choices with a soul like this; erase its memory or keep it intact. The first one will be the safest, while the latter could be tricky."

She then explained that it relied on the connection between the wielder and the soul. A sword that was enhanced with a soul that still had its memories intact could be uncontrollable, but if the wielder had a good bond with said soul, that choice would drastically improve the enhancement instead.

As Emery did not have any connection with the female elf nor did he think that there would be in the future, he decided to choose the first option which would completely wipe her memories.

<W-Wait..! Wait! Listen! Don't erase my memory.. You will never be able to exchange me to my clan anymore then!> Lyanna said frantically, in an attempt to change Emery's mind.

Alas, Emery seemed completely unfazed by her words.

The female magus' spirit soul was indeed valuable, but with how badly the last exchange had gone, Emery wasn't sure he wanted to go through that kind of hassle again – at least not for some time to come.

Seeing Emery not being persuaded by her words, Lyanna fell into a panic. After racking her brains, she quickly tried to negotiate from another direction.

<You are about to carry out a mission in the dark elf territory, aren't you? I can help you! I know a lot about their territory! I will definitely help you!>

It looked like Emery was still not convinced even by those words, and Silva spoke her thoughts on this. "She has lived for hundreds of years, so she could be useful indeed. However, she could also be manipulatively dangerous, and I'm afraid you won't be able to handle her."

Emery nodded his head because he thought Silva's words made much sense.

On the other hand, Lyanna went up another notch with her curses when she saw Emery was about to give the metal emblem to the dwarf attendant. But then, much to his surprise, Silva suddenly stopped him.

"Wait, Emery. Can you give her to me instead?" Emery looked confusedly at her, and seeing his face, she clarified her intention. "I mean, I will trade her for something of similar value."

Saying those words, the white-haired girl took out two crystalline gems and showed them to Emery. One was a rough and sharp pitch black crystal, while the other was smooth and white like snow; both of them emitted a faint sparkling light.

"Within These two crystals are high-tier legendary beast souls." With a smile, she said, "They are considered the best material to use to enhance Tier 5 weapons, and also share excellent compatibility with both of our swords."

Hearing those words, Emery took the two gems and looked at their details. Naturally, he was surprised when he saw what they were.

[Legendary Beast Soul - Corrupted Demonic Serpent]

[Legendary Beast Soul - White Snow Serpent]

These souls were so perfect for Emery's Savage Sword and Silva's Gentle Sword.

It was as if she had foreseen the future, allowing her to prepare for this moment. She assured him that these souls were their best choice.

Emery was more than willing to make the trade. However, he couldn't help but worry about what she was trying to do with the female dark elf's soul.

Knowing what he was thinking, Silva looked at him and calmly said, "I will try to extract more information from her." Realizing Emery's confusion, she casually said, "Yes, she's too dangerous for you. But that's not the case for me."

[2x Tier 5 Soul Binding - 70,000]

Emery paid for both of them, and this subconscious action of his brought a smile to the white-haired girl.

"I see now.. A champion indeed is rich."

The last time they went out shopping together, Emery had close to no spirit stones. So of course Silva couldn't pass up the chance to tease him, to which Emery could only smile wryly in response.

After that, she turned to the dwarf attendant and asked, "How long will it take to finish?"

"For two swords, we need at least twelve hours," the dwarf answered readily.

Silva glanced at Emery, and it took him a few seconds before he realized her meaning. Hurriedly taking out one piece of red spirit stone worth 10,000 and then put it on the table.

"Four hours. Please finish by then," said Silva with a smile.

The dwarf smiled as he quickly swept the red spirit stone from sight. "Of course, can do."

As they came out of the workshop, at exactly the same time the morning sun shone upon the Golden City. Looking at the shining horizon and feeling the warmth rushing in, Emery felt a tug on his shirt. Turning his head, he saw Silva with a smile on her face.

"Alright, now that business is done, you don't mind accompanying a lady out for a stroll, do you?"
