After the blacksmith got over her excitement after noticing that the cursed weapon accepted me as a user she brought me some knives, a sword and some saddlebags to carry everything, I paid for the extra equipment and after a promise to return, I left the blacksmith shop and walked west, I wanted to be out of town before nightfall because all towns have a curfew and anyone who breaks it will be executed on the spot, so I prefer to avoid drawing attention as much as possible.
Leaving the village with the sun almost over the west I entered the forest that serves as a connection between the villages, after running for a few hours and with the night falling on my shoulders, I decided to stop and camp in the top of a dry tree, although in all this time Angra has not said a single word that is strange, maybe he only speaks when the pact has to be formed, or maybe he does not like to talk, I guess I can try to talk to him just out of curiosity and with a calm tone I said.
— Angra Can you hear me? —
After waiting a few seconds without receiving any answer I came to the conclusion that maybe I only speak in my imagination or it was a matter of one time and at that very moment Angra's voice echoed in my mind, with a very annoying and dark tone he said.
— "I can hear what you say and know what you think if it is directed to me, our mana is synchronized so you could say we are 2 parts of the same being, now tell me what do you need me for?" —
I was surprised to hear his explanation, because even though I had read all the books about cursed weapons in the library, none of them mentioned that they could talk and much less the fact that they were part of a person to such a degree, besides all the weapons I read about were composed by only 1 piece but Angra uses 5 of them, I need to know what kind of weapon I possess, with that thought in my mind I decided to ask, with a calm and confident tone I told him.
— Talking to you from my mind will be complicated at first, so for the time being I'll keep talking this way —
Angra answered almost immediately in the same tone as before.
— "As you wish" —
Ignoring his very annoying tone I continued with the conversation.
— I have read about many legendary, sacred, magical and cursed weapons but in none of the writings or books appears a weapon like you composed of 5 parts and also with the ability to communicate telepathically with the user, so tell me what kind of weapon are you and how did you get to the place where I found you? —
After a few seconds of silence Angra's voice echoed in my mind.
— "Humans always think they know everything, in effect I am a unique cursed weapon of its kind since in reality I am a legendary weapon that after consuming the hatred, anger, resentment and blood all those I killed and that turned me into a cursed weapon that was growing in power until I needed 5 parts to store it, although this was not always my true form, like other legendary weapons I was also a sword that was used in an infinity of combats, but after I was destroyed by the same power that corrupted me, the power conceived inside the sword took over the nearest equipment to not dissipate and over time it was acquiring greater compatibility with it and so little by little I was creating and evolving" —
My eyes opened wide in surprise when I heard his words, I could not believe I had never heard of a legendary weapon that could be corrupted in that way, let alone evolve, with a lump in my throat and with the calmest possible tone I asked him.
— How many years ago was that, what kind of abilities do you possess and what is the reason why you accepted me as a user? —
With great uncertainty and patience, I waited and waited for minutes for Angra to answer my questions and when my patience was reaching its limit his voice echoed in my head.
— "In human years I believe it would be over 10,000 years, as for my abilities they all derive from my name which is "Angra the devourer" and my main ability is "Buffet" which can engulf any type of material or object in a dark dimension of space/time in which they are at your complete disposal, the amount of objects it can hold for the moment is 50 tons which can grow as you become more powerful and as for the others I can only tell you one for the moment because I can't release all my power since your body wouldn't resist it and if you ask for the reason it's because in over 6000 years you are the first interesting person I know and I was already getting bored, and if you don't mind I will be at rest until I feel some real danger, so don't bother me." —
A dimensional storage ability!!!! That explains why it was a legendary weapon, with only that ability hundreds of people would kill for having it, I must be very careful with who I use it, everything Angra told me left me many doubts but for the moment I'm a little calmer to be able to count on him as my partner, I can't wait to see the rest of his abilities if this is so incredible and is the first one the rest will surely have no equal, for the moment I have to sleep because a great trip awaits me tomorrow.
When I woke up I used Angra's "Buffet" ability to save all my supplies and started my journey to the coastal town 7 where I will look for a boat that will take me to the continent of the beasts, because if I remember correctly that monster that killed my father was wearing pants made of the skin of a monster that you cannot find in the human continent so there is only one place where I can go.
Without further thought I moved as fast as possible passing through several villages on my way to the coast, and now that all my dead weight is inside Angra's ability I can move more easily, in less than 12 hours of walking a strange smell began to filter through my nose and suddenly a huge blue horizon appeared before my eyes and I can not help but smile and with an almost imperceptible tone I said between sighs.
— So this is the sea, it's beautiful —
