Memory Rank: Ascended.
Memory Tier: IV.
Memory Type: Weapon.
Memory Description: "Death is worth living for. Love is worth waiting for."
'How romantic... and how morbid.'
Sunny didn't know who created this description — the Spell itself or the person who had forged the bow. If it was the latter, then maybe this was a message to Morgan, or a lesson the spellsmith wanted to impart to her.
But what kind of a lesson was that?
Curious, Sunny looked beneath the surface of the black bow, wishing to see if the spellweave of a Memory created by a human was different from that created by the Spell. However, it seemed pretty much the same — vast, inconceivably complex, and eerily beautiful.
In any case, he was excited to see that this Memory was of the fourth tier. It was powerful, indeed… no less powerful than the Cruel Sight. Encouraged, he continued to read the runes.
Memory Enchantments: [Soul Arrows], [Unbending], [Burden of Peace], [Death Dealer].
'Four enchantments… first two are passive, the other two are active. Not bad…'
He concentrated on the first enchantment.
[Soul Arrows] Enchantment Description: "This bow attunes to the soul of its wielder and is capable of creating arrows that share its affinity."
[Unbending] Enchantments Description: "This adamantine bow demands a giant's might to be bent. Because of that, arrows shot from it travel as far as the eye can see, and strike with terrible strength, piercing both armor and flesh."
The passive enchantments were not bad, to say the least. Sunny wasn't sure what arrows that shared the affinity of his soul could do, but the fact that the bow itself could produce an unlimited amount of arrows was already a great boon. It basically made the Full Quiver, his previous arrow-type Memory, pale in comparison and completely redundant.
Each of the soul arrows would also share the tier and Rank of the Warbow that created them, which was simply incredible.
To test it, Sunny grabbed the sting and tried to draw the warbow. Even with all his strength, Sunny was only able to do it after augmenting himself with two shadows. As soon as the string moved, a black arrow that looked as if it was made out of solidified shadows suddenly appeared on it.
Sunny released the string, and in the next moment, one of the armored plates on the opposite wall exploded.
'Crap!'
He stared at the broken plate dejectedly, then sighed and looked back to the runes.
[Burden of Peace] Enchantment Description: "After soul arrows pierce the flesh of an enemy, their weight can be drastically increased."
'Interesting…'
Sunny could already think of several useful applications for this enchantment, be it to make wounds dealt by the arrows more severe or simply to slow the enemy down.
There was one last string of runes left:
[Death Dealer] Enchantment Description: "This bow is able to consume a large amount of essence to deliver an obliterating strike."
That sounded... ominous.
Sunny was curious to know how obliterating exactly that strike was supposed to be, but he was not going to test it in his dojo. It already suffered enough.
Morgan's Warbow… was indeed a weapon worthy of an Ascended knight from a Great Clan. It was a truly formidable and versatile weapon. In any other circumstance, Sunny would have been mad from joy after receiving it.
And he was… sort of...
But there was one more Memory he had to deal with.
It was time. He couldn't postpone it anymore.
Sunny glanced at the beautiful bow for the last time, then sighed and dismissed it.
As soon as the flood of scarlet sparks disappeared, he summoned the Drop of Ichor.
