Anime: Ashura from Killing Akame

"Tatsumi, Tatsumi..."

There was a shaking sensation in his arm, and Mine's call brought Tatsumi back to his senses from his dazed state.

"Tatsumi, what's wrong with you? You keep staring at that knife. It's not love at first sight, is it?"

Maine opened her eyes wide, looking at Tatsumi and the sword hanging on the wall, as if trying to find some clues.

"Well, that knife...gives me a very special feeling."

Tatsumi didn't know how to explain it, but it was a feeling of longing, hunger and wanting to get something.

It's like being thirsty in the desert for two and a half days and suddenly seeing an oasis...

Desire, extremely desire.

Desiring to the point of being...completely crazy!

No, what's wrong with me?

The mental state is very wrong!

"Tongzi, what's going on?"

When you are in doubt, look for the system, it’s the right choice.

[Host, this is the effect of the protagonist's halo. The protagonist's halo has a natural ability to attract treasures. Whatever you need will come to you. That weapon should be an imperial weapon.]

Hiss, the protagonist’s halo is so terrifying!

It seems that the protagonist's halo is much stronger than I imagined.

"Young man..." A door in the corner of the blacksmith shop opened, and an old man with white hair and a big beard walked out. The moment the door opened, scorching heat rushed out, and Tatsumi could feel it from a long distance.

If nothing unexpected happened, that room should be the forging room, which can be inferred from the beads of sweat on the old man's forehead and his soaked clothes.

"Let me introduce myself, old man Kilivas, the owner of the shop."

Kilivas walked to the wall and looked at the imperial weapon with a complex look in his eyes, filled with surprise, surprise, and disappointment... "Young man, do you feel its call?"

"Calling... Senior's description is very apt."

Tatsumi thought back to the feeling just now, it really felt like it was calling him.

Kirivas took the imperial weapon off the wall, his expression dazed, and he muttered to himself, "It's been a thousand years, a thousand years. The Kiri family has guarded it for a thousand years. Today, someone is finally able to respond to it..."

Kirivas walked up to Tatsumi and handed him the knife with both hands. "Young man, since you have a connection with it, I will give it to you today!"

"Senior, is this too sudden?" Tatsumi was a little embarrassed to take over.

Even though he likes to get things for free, it doesn't mean he gets things for free from everyone.

He had never met someone before, and when he first met him, the person gave him the great gift of the 'Imperial Tool'. No matter how thick-skinned he was, he would not be able to take it for free.

“No.” Kirivas kept handing the knife over. His old eyes were not cloudy, but full of energy. “To protect it for a thousand years and hand it over to the right person is the mission of the Kiri family. It has been passed down from generation to generation and has never changed.”

"For thousands of years, no one has ever been able to gain its recognition... and you, young man, are the only one who has been recognized by it in thousands of years. You are destined to be with it. Everything is predestined. How can you say you owe it anything?"

"As an old man, I just gave it to someone who needed it... Take it, young man."

Seeing that Kirivas was so determined, Tatsumi felt that it would be ungrateful to refuse, so he took the imperial weapon from the other party.

As soon as he touched the hilt of the knife, Tatsumi suddenly felt a stabbing pain in the palm of his hand.

Then, I felt my blood being sucked by the imperial weapon...

"Tatsumi, it changed color!" Main exclaimed.

Tatsumi looked over when he heard the sound, and temporarily ignored the blood being sucked from his palm.

He saw that the silver-white imperial weapon, which was originally no different from other iron tools, gradually changed color at the outermost edge, the back of the blade, and the tip of the blade, from silver-white to hot gold... The precious, elegant, and golden light flashed, as if telling him an ancient secret...

The crescent-shaped hook at the front of the handle and the spinning top-like half of the handle at the end seemed to be enveloped by a mysterious force and began to undergo miraculous changes. A layer of light golden light gradually appeared on their surface, and this layer of golden light flowed down the handle like flowing mercury.

As time went by, the golden light became more and more dazzling, and finally the entire hook and half of the spinning top were completely covered by it. In the process, their colors also changed from the initial dullness to becoming brighter and brighter, until they turned into a dazzling golden color! At this moment, the originally ordinary handle seemed to have been reborn and glowed with new vitality.

"Recognize the Lord by shedding blood?"

As he raised the imperial weapon and held it flat in front of his eyes to look at it, this thought suddenly popped up in Tatsumi's mind.

"It's been a thousand years... a thousand years... I never thought that it would be passed down to my generation and I would have the honor of seeing its true appearance."

Kirivas was in tears, his eyes moving back and forth on the golden color of the imperial weapon, feeling excited and gratified, as well as a sense of relief that his mission was accomplished.

"Senior, what is the origin of this sword... Imperial weapon?"

Tatsumi couldn't help but ask the question that had been puzzling him.

In the original work, there seems to be no information about this imperial weapon.

"Teigu?"

Hearing Tatsumi's words, Maine raised her eyebrows and looked in disbelief at the strangely shaped weapon in Tatsumi's hand, which was half silver and half gold with bits of crimson.

I came out to buy a weapon, but ended up buying an imperial weapon.

Who would believe it?

That's an imperial weapon, and there are only forty-eight of them in the world!

Excluding the imperial instruments that were lost or damaged in the course of history, the actual number would be good if it could be half of the forty-eight.

"You found it. Kirivas had tears of joy on his face, but he soon realized that he had lost his composure, so he quickly controlled his emotions and took a few deep breaths, trying to calm himself down. Finally, he successfully controlled his excitement and spoke slowly in a low and firm voice.

"The story begins thousands of years ago."

"About a thousand years ago, in order to maintain his long-term rule, the first emperor of the empire used unimaginable financial resources and power to summon the world's top craftsmen. He used legendary super-dangerous species as materials, rare metals such as Orichalcum, and a large number of lost secret techniques to develop forty-eight weapons that could not be replicated. He called them "Imperial Equipment"."

"And it is the only special one among the forty-eight imperial tools. It is not made of Orichalcum steel as the main secondary material. Instead, it is made of a metal called "Taimai", which is even rarer than Orichalcum steel, combined with a super dangerous core as the material."

"It is precisely because of this that it is different from other imperial weapons. It has extremely high requirements on the adaptability of the user. No one who can use it has been found throughout the country... My ancestor, Kyrios, the forger who created this imperial weapon, attributed the responsibility for the imperial weapon's unusability to himself, thinking that the imperial weapon he created was too good and no one could control it... He hated his own talent, but also regretted that no one could control the peerless divine weapon and shine with its original brilliance."

"So, he made a rule for thousands of years. Anyone from the Kiri family who learns the art of forging must hide in the imperial capital for generations, not participate in politics, and guard the imperial tools with all their heart until the destined person appears."

"My forging skills were passed down from my ancestors. Now that it has come to my generation, I have met you and helped it find its home. It can be considered that I have completed my mission... If my ancestors knew about this in the underworld, I'm sure they would be very pleased..."

Kilivas spoke a long speech in one breath, his mouth became dry, and he quickly found a glass of water and drank it down.

"So, this imperial tool is very powerful."

Main probably understood what she heard and looked at Tatsumi with envy, "You are so lucky. The imperial weapon that no one has been able to activate for a thousand years has finally fallen into your hands."

"lucky."

Tatsumi couldn't let go and caressed the body of the imperial weapon with his eyes. The more he looked at it, the more satisfied he became.

The protagonist's halo is awesome. When I had no weapons, he turned around and made me such a great imperial weapon. He is worthy of being the son of the Dao.

He even suspected that this imperial weapon did not exist in the world originally, and only appeared after he appeared.

If this imperial weapon is really so awesome, it would have been mentioned in the original work.

Even in the comics, there has never been any relevant information.

"Senior, what is the name of this imperial weapon?"

When each imperial tool is first created, it will be named by the forger. The name is linked to its function. If nothing unexpected happens, this imperial tool also has a name.

Kirivas placed the water cup on the table and showed a proud smile on his face.

"Its name."

"——Compatible with everything Kiritaime!"
