Chapter 997 The Devourer of Seven Sins

Chapter 997 The Devourer of Seven Sins

Even though I was confused about what the Shadow Dragon was trying to do, I let myself remember every detail of the stat panel. I ensured that all of them were in there and I didn't miss any despite it already ingrained in my brain.

"Alright, I memorized the whole thing. Let's get this started."

I put the Weapon of Wrath to the table and aimed the tip of the Versatile Weapon. As for the Shadow Dragon, his appetite is back and it seems he is now drooling more than ever.

"[Devour]!"

With my prompt, the Shadow Dragon extends itself outside the Versatile Weapon and in a swift motion, devours the whole weapon in one gulp. Instead of swallowing it whole, the Shadow Dragon chomps the Weapon of Wrath and it shatters to pieces inside its mouth, he chewed it a few times like a tough jerky before he swallowed the shards.

"That's the first time you've chewed a weapon and the Weapon of Wrath at that..." I was perplexed by the Shadow Dragon's behavior.

"The Weapon of Wrath is not something I have to devour completely. I learned that lesson when I devoured the Weapon of Lust. Compared to the other weapons, the Weapon of Lust, Weapon of Envy, and Weapon of Wrath are the hardest weapons to devour. Without doing it, I wouldn't be able to function for long and I will be digesting the weapon for long. But knowing that this will be a crucial time, letting me devour the weapon this way allows me to consume the weapon, combine with it, and become one."

As the Shadow Dragon said those words, the Versatile Weapon floated in the air. It started glowing darker and darker. I wouldn't even say it was glowing that bad but even though it is a dark light, its light is as glaring as a white light.

Soon, it spread through my whole room and I closed my eyes to shield myself from the intense light for a bit. That's when I realized the Versatile Weapon had changed its looks and form. It slowly returned to my hands and slowly landed like it was being controlled by something softly.

"It did transform?!"

The Versatile Weapon's new look is pretty different compared to most changes it had in years. It has a black and red color on its body spread throughout the whole form. It has some intricate designs that look like they were carved to look like a dragon. They carry a heavy aura if you stare long enough at them that I couldn't believe my eyes either.

Not only that but when I tried to change its form, the form it had on its sword form has also been transferred like it had fully adapted to the new look it. Even the black and red pattern doesn't look repetitive in each weapon form, making them unique to each weapon type.

"How about it, I look different right?" the Shadow Dragon popped out again and grinned like it was a proud little guy.

"Hey, this is completely new and I wasn't expecting you to digest your food anymore!" I stress all of my new surprises on him.

"Of course. If not for the fact that I have prepared for this for the entire time, then I wouldn't have come up to do this kind of thing. It's not something I usually do just to appease my wielder. But since you are my wielder, I decided to make a surprise at you on this one."

"What do you mean?" I asked.

"Open up the stats panel of mine and see for yourself. That way, you can understand why I let you memorize the old stuff."

Although a bit confused, I opened up the Versatile Weapon's stats panel and checked it out, expecting a minor change. However, what greeted me was a change that was not expected even for me.
