Section E, Chapter 6: Dagger (Lusa)
"This dagger...... I'm definitely going to use it often. Although she was very happy, she remembered the statement on the letter, and she was completely afraid to move because of the injury on her thigh so as not to hurt more, Lusha's slightly trembling tone was not only excited, but also a little helpless: "I can only suppress it temporarily...... But I don't know how long it will last. β
"I don't have to stab myself with a knife a lot every day. Lucina suddenly felt so frightened, even a little frightened.
"When my vision starts to blur again, it's almost time to stab myself again. Lusa was now happy with her sight, which she had not expected to return, but at the same time, she was once again a little drummed: although she was somewhat relieved to have this dagger, at the same time, her hopes for her normal life were pinned on the dagger sent by the hooded man who knew nothing about the details and couldn't help but panic a little.
And it's really not convenient to use. Pain is secondary, and Lusa, who has always been good at forbearance, can endure it...... The main thing is that in order not to expose the phantoms, you need to go to a place where no one is around.
"It's just that it can suppress the curse...... At the rate at which my eyesight is declining, maybe in a few days, I won't even be able to walk without this dagger. The excitement was completely quelled, and Lusha looked at it, and couldn't help but feel aggrieved again.
The weak look of her mother, Asha, responded, and Lutha immediately made up her mind to lift the curse of loneliness and return to her safely: unfortunately the dagger could not be used for her. Because Asha had given birth to a child, the dagger would not work.
Presumably, the person who wrote the letter knew that Lusha would want to give it to Asha, so he made a point of explaining it.
"Keep this dagger well. Cautiously inserting it back into its scabbard, Lutha held it and rubbed her eyes again, feeling that her eyes were still a little uncomfortable and ghostly: probably not too used to the feeling.
"Lusha, let me see it again. Lucina immediately became excited again, excitedly looking at the weapon: "Let me feel the magic breath!"
"Don't break it. Tia looked quietly to the side and gently prompted.
"It can't be broken, really!" Lucina felt herself being subtly mocked, and muttered, "Can you find a second one for someone as reliable as me?!"
After saying that, Lucina was silent for a moment, and suddenly became a little depressed: probably she didn't believe it after she finished speaking.
"IβI'll see......" As if nothing had just happened, Lucina hurriedly began to investigate the dagger, sensing its magical energy: "Judging by the magic from above...... Wow!"
Aya became excited, unsure of what she had discovered. And the excitement is growing.
"Is it a rare feature?" Tia sat silently, curious about Lucina's discovery.
"This dagger can actually be turned into two! and merge into a long sword, or release a hidden spell blade......" Lucina excitedly shoved it to Lusa, waving her arm and shouting, "Lusa, you try it!
"Ah...... Well. Lutha was caught off guard by the sudden request, but holding the dagger, she thought to herself about turning it into a double dagger, but she didn't react.
"Huh? Lucina was stunned: "My idea should be right." β
"Maybe it's not the right posture. At this point, Tia played a reverie (blind thought) that she was very good at, and asked in a tentative tone: "Why don't you try to use it as a whirlwind like a dagger?"
Indeed, the parry dagger must be whirling in order to activate the parry rune. Otherwise, it can only be parried ordinarily.
When Lusha heard this, she tried to do that.
But it didn't work.
"What's going on?" Lucina felt a little embarrassed and even embarrassed all of a sudden: "This...... Surely it didn't get it right! There must be some way!"
"Why don't you try to poke yourself again. The water sprites continue to use their imagination and put it this way.
"How could this be the reason!" Lucina hurriedly stopped Lusa, who was really going to stab herself: "Hey, don't listen to her!"
So what to do...... Lusa held the dagger in her hand and tried to turn it into two again, but there was no response.
However, when she was reluctant to change it to another hand, the dagger suddenly emitted a cold light, and in the other hand, another one was summoned.
"Wow......" Lusha stared blankly at the two thin-bladed daggers in her hand, feeling a burst of surprise and excitement: "It worked." β
"Look, it's really two!" Lucina also breathed a sigh of relief, and at the same time was equally excited: "How?
"It's like putting the other hand up...... And then it was in your hands. Lusha recalled her actions and put them back together, trying to reinvigorate them.
And there was no response.
"Oh yes, you might have to think about which one to call. Lucina leaned in closer, reached out and pinched the dagger, and said so thoughtfully.
"These two daggers can be regarded as the main body. Tia also approached and gave her own advice: "You can counter-summon at will, it's very flexible." β
Lusha nodded, thinking about resummoning the left handβand it vanished in the silver light.
In that case, I probably don't need to carry those two daggers around my belt...... Lutha thought to herself, inspired: the extra place, you can bring some scrolls or something.
"By the way, do you see this black orb?" At this time, Lucina took Lusa's hand with great interest and pointed to the small black orb on the dagger: "I have encountered this kind of design, and it is a very good enchantment." The user needs to have a mana net in order to exert their power (some weapons don't use it). And this structure, it can be seen that it is driven by spell casting, and the spell blade is released...... The black orb will also change color during this time. β
"But I can't cast spells. Lusha looked troubled.
"Just let it sense the magic in you...... It doesn't matter if you can't control the spell, you can still channel mana to control it. Lucina hurriedly changed her words, excited: "Anyway, let's try it! Hold it, and try to sense the harmony between the dagger and the magic power in your mana net." β
Lusha did as if she didn't understand. She held the dagger, sensing the connection between the magic in her body and the dagger.
"Try condensing the mana onto the dagger, and you'll naturally sense the mana model that releases the spell blade. Lucina continued, looking in high spirits: "You can try wielding your weapon to make it easier to understand." β
