Move forward two hours, just as Led had just released his mission to find Farah—

"So the purpose of you asking me for help is to find this girl named Farah, your childhood sweetheart?" Emilia said as she glanced at the mission posted by Lead. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Leader was silent for a while, his eyes slightly dimmed, and said, "...... Well. She and I have grown up together, and this time we have come to this continent from our world due to the summoning of the goddess, and I had planned to return when I had completed my mission, but—" Lead's words came to an abrupt end.

Because he suddenly noticed that there was a glimmer of light on Emilia's chest beside him.

Led stared straight at her chest, and Emilia couldn't help but feel annoyed.

"Is this guy stupid? Is there such a deliberate look at other people's breasts? After holding back for a few seconds, Emilia finally couldn't help but push Leader hard, and her dissatisfaction was overflowing.

"Ahh Right...... I'm sorry, I didn't mean to...... It's just because ......" After being pushed by Emilia, Leader finally came to his senses, and it was very rude to look at a girl like this, and hurriedly apologized.

"Because of what? Do you still want to say that I look a lot like your lost childhood sweetheart? I've read this old-fashioned routine in my books. Emilia took a sip and scolded.

"No, it's not. It's just that ...... just now, Leader stopped talking, and hesitated to say something.

"What happened just now? You mean, you're still not a man, if you have something to say, talk about it and fart quickly! ”

"Then I'll get straight to the point. Do you remember when I told you half a day ago that the necklace around your neck was a very evil piece of jewelry? Leader abruptly shifts the conversation to the eerie necklace Emilia has received from the treasure collector Joseph.

"You mean this necklace?" Confused, Emilia pulled the necklace out of her clothes, which glowed faintly in the moonlight.

"Yes. At that time, I only saw that this necklace had the power to drain the soul, so I thought that this necklace was an ominous thing. ”

"Then why are you suddenly mentioning it now?"

"Because...... I just suddenly felt the 'spirit' of this necklace. Led uttered a word that Emilia didn't expect.

"Spirit?"

"Yes. In our hometown, every piece of equipment that has entered the grade has a 'spirit'. At the same time, depending on the crafting materials and skills, the strength and attributes of the spirit contained in each piece of equipment are different. Especially on the equipment that has accompanied a legendary-level powerhouse in his life and experienced countless fierce battles of life and death together, the power of the soul of this equipment called spirit will be greatly enhanced, and it will also bring unparalleled attributes to this equipment. ”

"What do you mean...... This necklace of mine is also a member of this powerful equipment that belongs to this 'possession of spirit'? Emilia looked at the necklace in her hand suspiciously. The surface of the necklace is radiant and cool.

"If, I mean if," Leader suddenly looked serious, "if you will believe me, would you be willing to give me this necklace, and I will help you identify the properties of this necklace?" Led also knew that this request was a bit difficult, after all, this necklace undoubtedly belonged to the best ranks, and if she gave it to herself, she would run away, and Emilia would be angry.

“…… I see. No problem, you can take it for identification. With that, Emilia unbuttoned the necklace and handed it to Led.

After receiving the necklace, Leader first took out a thin glove with a strange pattern and put it on his right hand, then held the necklace in his right hand, and pressed his left hand only the index and middle fingers to the center of his eyebrows, and closed his eyes.

"Let me see the 'spirit truth' of this equipment!"

Lead's eyes instantly fell into pitch black, but in this dark world, without the slightest brilliance, a trace of ripples suddenly appeared.

At first, it was only a faint fluctuation, but in the blink of an eye, this fluctuation shook the entire dark void.

Three humanoid dolls appeared in front of Lead's eyes.

As a bystander, Leader can only watch from the sidelines, but cannot interfere with their actions.

First, the largest of the three dolls (A) splits itself in two (A1, A2), so the doll becomes four (A1, A2, B, C).

A1 then pulls something out of A2's stomach, and A2 dissolves into a band of light.

Then B and C also learn from A's movements and separate (B1, B2, C1, C2), respectively, and three different areas of the space appear (denoted A, B, C).

"Three...... Ternary?! Leader felt a wave of fear.

In the end, only the remaining A1, B1, and B2 were directly integrated into one and turned into this necklace.

"My name is the Soul Hunter. The power of the soul is far beyond your imagination. （over soul）”

Leader broke free of the space in an instant.

"Whew...... Call...... It's incredible...... "Led had beads of sweat the size of beans dripping from his forehead, as if he had gone through a thrilling journey.

"What's wrong? What did you find? Emilia asked with concern when she saw Leader suddenly become like this.

“…… I'm fine, I finally know the name of this necklace. Soul Hunter! That's what it's called! Leader stared at the necklace closely, inadvertently recalling the scene he had just seen.

"Soul ...... Hunters. It seems like a powerful name. So what exactly does it do? Emilia asked.

"Its first effect is to absorb the souls of the newly dead beings around them, and turn this soul power into the power of the Master. The second special effect is to consume the stored soul power and freeze the surrounding space-time for a certain range. The third effect is that if the Master's fluctuations match it, it can become an omnipotent god. This special effect is probably bragging, because I don't know if anyone can do it. Leader thought for a moment and said.

"Volatility fit? An omnipotent God? How do I feel like you're a god, you're not going to be one of those church guys, are you? Emilia snickered.

“…… No. What you understand as volatility is actually different from what I said. True fluctuations are not only generated by the soul of life, but are derived from the consciousness of 'me' as the standard. Then, according to the time and space of each person, and the different memories emit different frequencies and ripples. As the sages of our predecessors said, 'There can be no two identical leaves in the world,' and each person has different soul ripples and frequencies. That's why I might be bragging when I say the third effect. Leader explained.
