As the rainbow radiance ceased, Rimuru started to examine the sword. Despite it being a Genesis-grade blade, the new Veldanava sword looked quite ordinary. In fact, people who were not skilled blacksmiths wouldn't be able to tell it apart from a regular katana.

I really appreciate its simplicity, though, Rimuru thought.

He gave the sword a couple test swings before noticing that it was light. Unlike Rimuru's previous weapon, this one didn't allude power. If anything, it seemed quite feeble.

This doesn't feel right. Did I do something wrong? Maybe mixing all of those Mythical-grade swords together creates an amalgamation instead of a fully functional sword?

He asked for Ciel's opinion, and she, like usual, didn't disappoint.

«Notice. The sword feels weak because it is. It has an estimated EP of 0 in total.»

That can't be real, right?

In the demi-material world such as the Central World, everything had magicules attached to it. Even a human who couldn't perform a proper magic spell still possessed at least 1,000 EP.

Then why did the Genesis-grade weapon have none?

«Notice. I believe it to be a good thing. While it is a weak weapon now, it does not have a maximum threshold either. That means it has the potential to become a weapon of destruction.»

Ciel-san, you start to sound like a mad scientist again.

To be fair, she had always been a shady woman, but Rimuru didn't hate it. He found unapologetically unhinged women to be appealing.

Who wouldn't love a little bit of craziness to spice up the day?

«Don't you just love me when I act like this?»

I don't know, Rimuru thought in an attempt to appear neutral.

«I know whenever you are not being honest, Master.» Ciel seemed to be amused by this. She believed that if she kept pushing him, he'd run out of patience and put her in her place.

If she had to play a long game to get what she wanted, then be it.

That does remind me. I still have to find 4 more girlfriends, don't I?

«Do you plan to go through with that?» While the message from Lucia was unexpected, it didn't make her feel jealous. She was intrigued, in fact.

Yeah. How can I ignore it when it is Lucia's request?

«You love your wife a lot, huh?»

Although acquiring more wives to please your first one sounded a bit counterintuitive, Ciel wasn't in a place to judge them.

Hey, I think you are losing track. Explain more about the sword.

«As you wish, Master.»

Although, yes, the sword did not possess any magicule, it could acquire some through fighting.

Ciel's explanation was no doubt an intriguing one.

I have to try it out. That'll be the best way to test its potency.

After Rimuru erased Kurobe and others' memories, he sent them out of the Labyrinth.

Rimuru traveled from the 200th floor to the 100th floor where Ramiris and Veldora were reading manga like they usually did. To his surprise, Milim was also here as well.
