[Silverforged Sword]

[Grade: Uncommon]

[Evaluation: A meticulously forged blade from precious alloy, the metal was repeatedly folded, hammered, and infused with spirit energy to enhance its strength and resilience.

Effect 1: Adamant Edge - The blade is incredibly durable and resilient, it cannot be damaged by ordinary means or inferior materials.

Effect 2: Tempered Spirit - The sword resonates with the spiritual energy of its wielder, temporarily enhancing their movements and attacks.]

Lynn's eyes widened in admiration as he inspected the long sword in his hands, this formidable weapon was undoubtedly honed and refined through countless hammer strikes.

Any warrior would be blessed to wield such a blade in combat. The immense craftsmanship invested in its creation was apparent, from the delicate and exquisite patterns to the supernatural powers granted.

"This should sell for a good amount," he murmured under his breath as he contemplated the potential value of this item. Although the effects were useful, they overlapped too much with his existing powers.

He valued and preferred versatility in his arsenal. He already possessed two powerful weapons, Flame Edge and Bloody Reaper, covering ranged and close-quarters combat situations.

Furthermore, this weapon could fetch a sizable sum of nightmare coins if sold. After some quick mental calculations weighing the benefits, he decided selling it was the optimal choice.

Returning the blade to its sheath, he swiftly stashed it away in his personal storage space. He would take some time later to appropriately list it in the trading section for sale.

With that matter settled, Lynn refocused his attention on the unconscious swordsman sprawled limply across the filthy concrete. The man showed no signs of stirring, still deep in oblivion after the overwhelming blows.

He crouched beside the crumpled form, quickly yet methodically searching for anything else of value. He tried not to linger, aware that time was scarce with potential threats still nearby.

His hands meticulously patted along the clothes, checking pockets and hidden areas where valuables could be concealed. It didn't take long before the diligent search paid off.

Reaching into a concealed pocket, his fingers closed around two small metal spheres. Judging by their size and weight, they seemed to be smoke bombs similar to the one used earlier.

He turned the balls over in his palm, feeling their solid weight and cool metallic surface against his skin before promptly stowing them away in his inventory without hesitation.

Having already acquired a handful of them from the shops in the weapons avenue, he thought it wouldn't hurt to get a few more. They could prove useful for making an escape or creating a distraction.

As he pressed on with his exploration, he found a dagger nestled in a sheath strapped to the man's thigh. It appeared to be an ordinary weapon lacking any extraordinary qualities, but he decided to take it regardless.

Then he noticed a small glass vial inside an inner pocket, nearly undetectable. Carefully extracting it, he saw that the container held two pills, one black and the other yellow, rested side by side.

"Hmm, no markings or labels," Lynn pondered with a contemplative frown. They looked like some type of medication, though he couldn't identify their exact nature.

He was curious about the intended effects or purpose of these mysterious pills. Considering they belonged to an extraordinary individual, this medicine must hold some significance.
