The black cocoon automatically cracked open, revealing a ghastly face formed from black smoke. Demonic Neonate's tiny hand pressed on the ghastly face.
The entire process was like the reverse of the Guardian contract. When the contract was completed, the entire black cocoon shattered. The seven white jade hoops that bound the black cocoon fell and clanged to the ground.
Grim Demon, who had escaped, was like a devil formed from black gas as it swept towards Demonic Neonate.
Demonic Neonate glared at him and Grim Demon immediately stopped in midair, not daring to approach Demonic Neonate's body.
Demonic Neonate held the ancient sword in her arms in her hand. Grim Demon seemed somewhat unwilling, but he still flew towards the ancient sword and transformed into wisps of black gas that fused with the ancient sword.
In the blink of an eye, the black gas formed by Grim Demon completely fused with the ancient sword, causing the ancient sword to undergo some strange changes. The originally purple ancient sword's color turned darker. At a glance, one would think it was black, but it was actually a dark purple color.
There were also some demonic patterns on the scabbard, making it look even more mysterious and bizarre than before.
Zhou Wen was dumbfounded as he watched from the side. He had never seen a Guardian so humble. Not only did he sign a master-slave contract, but he didn't even dare possess it. All he could do was attach it to an ancient sword.
"Stored rations … Received …" Demonic Neonate returned to Zhou Wen's side with the ancient sword in her arms.
"Alright, I'll keep it for now." Zhou Wen comforted Demonic Neonate and entered the game to take a look. Indeed, the black cocoon in-game was gone. From the looks of it, all Guardians were unique.
It was unknown what the seven white jade hoops on the ground were for, but Zhou Wen stored them in the chaos space.
After leaving White Cloud Mountain, Zhou Wen rode a Chi and headed for school as he grinded game dungeons.
It just so happened that the Golden Battle God Halberd was about to respawn. Zhou Wen wanted to see how much Demonic Neonate's strength had increased after having a Guardian like Grim Demon.
The strength of a Guardian had always been a mystery to Zhou Wen.
Some Guardians were extremely strong, like the one in Ant City, as well as Guardian Zang Xian. They all had very powerful abilities.
However, the six-winged seraphim he had encountered previously seemed very weak in John's body.
However, after the six-winged seraphim left John's body, it seemed much stronger.
Zhou Wen guessed that after Guardians fused with humans, the amount of energy they could unleash depended on whether the person using them was strong enough.
After entering the Metalwork Temple, the Golden Battle God Halberd had just respawned. Upon seeing Zhou Wen and Demonic Neonate, the tip of the trident immediately lit up.
If it were in the past, Demonic Neonate wouldn't have dared to face the trident's Golden Divine Light head-on due to its low level. All it could do was hide in the shadows and launch sneak attacks.
But this time, the ancient sword in Demonic Neonate's arms broke out of its scabbard. With a surging ink-purple demonic aura, it actually blocked the Golden Divine Beam.
Gu Jian's body appeared above the Golden Battle God Halberd as though he had teleported and sliced it into two.
Although Demonic Neonate's strength hadn't increased, her demonic sword was much stronger than before. It could actually slice through the Golden Battle God Halberd in one strike and win cleanly without any hesitation.
Not bad … Not bad … Zhou Wen was delighted. The Demonic Sword's attack power had greatly increased, and it had demonic aura effects. It would make it much easier for him to kill Mythical creatures in the future.
After the Demonic Sword fuses with the Guardian, I'll have to slowly study how strong it is in the future. Zhou Wen was in a good mood as he rushed back to school.
Zhou Wen was in a good mood, but Grim Demon wasn't in a good mood. He originally imagined that Demonic Neonate would sincerely sign a contract with him, so he would accept being a slave Guardian.
However, after hearing Zhou Wen and Demonic Neonate's conversation, Grim Demon's heart turned cold. How was this making him a slave? It was basically treating him as a food reserve. Perhaps Demonic Neonate would eat him when she was unhappy.
Grim Demon hated Zhou Wen so much that his teeth itched. This was because he knew that Demonic Neonate definitely wouldn't have such complicated thoughts. It had to be Zhou Wen.
However, he had no other choice. All he could do was try his best to show himself and curry favor with Demonic Neonate, hoping to obtain her recognition and not eat him up.
What made Grim Demon uneasy was that he realized that he would often appear in strange dimensional zones. He had no idea how he had entered them.
What was even more terrifying was that after Grim Demon died in battle, he originally thought that he was doomed, but to his surprise, his consciousness recovered not long after. It was as though his death had never happened.
What's going on? Grim Demon was alarmed and afraid. He was on tenterhooks all day.
Zhou Wen experimented many times and realized that Grim Demon's ability wasn't as powerful as he bragged. However, it also allowed the Demonic Sword to reach the level of a top Mythical creature.
In fact, Zhou Wen didn't know that the ancient sword that Grim Demon had possessed wasn't strong. Furthermore, it was only a supplementary tool. As its owner, Demonic Neonate's level was too low, it limited Grim Demon's abilities. Grim Demon's strength wasn't just that. It was purely because he was restricted.
After returning to the city, Zhou Wen heard almost everyone discussing the ranking war on the streets.
Most people were discussing which Companion Beast was strong and which was weak. Yesterday, which Companion Beast's ranking had risen again and which Companion Beast had been defeated.
Zhou Wen had never heard of many of the Companion Beasts they discussed.
However, the most discussed topic was Primordial Sword Immortal. Zhou Wen quickly learned that Primordial Sword Immortal remained at the top of the rankings. After experiencing a few challenges, none of the Companion Beasts could shake its position as the overlord.
Zhou Wen also had the intention to fight for first place. He wanted to retrieve the divine fruit for his Companion Beast to eat, but he wasn't in a hurry. There was still some time before the three-month deadline. Zhou Wen still wanted to wait a little longer to see if there were any truly powerful Mythical Companion Beasts challenging Primordial Sword Immortal. He wanted to understand Primordial Sword Immortal's abilities before deciding which Companion Beast to send to fight for first place.
When Zhou Wen returned to school, he realized that it was especially lively. It was actually a farewell party. Another batch of students had graduated.
Has time passed so quickly? Unknowingly, I've already been at Sunset College for a year. Zhou Wen couldn't help but sigh inwardly.
Now, the school didn't have long holidays like the winter and summer holidays in the past. In at most ten days or so, new students would report in, and Zhou Wen and company would be promoted to the second year.
"Zhou Wen, I thought I wouldn't be able to see you before I left. I never expected you to rush back," Wei Ge walked over from somewhere and said to Zhou Wen with a smile.
"Senior, didn't you stay in school?" Zhou Wen asked Wei Ge in puzzlement.
Wei Ge smiled and said, "The school has the intention of letting me stay, but I rejected it. Before I leave, I have a wish. I wonder if you can help me fulfill it?"
