Once Filius appraised the orb he was impressed, the power of the orb was to have control of the dead at a stronger level. Also, the orb was sentient, it even had the ability to think.

"It seems that a new host wields me", the Orb said.

Filius looked at Nabe, "Did you hear the voice from the orb?"

Nabe shook her head, "No, though it might be coming from that item."

Filius agreed, he looked at the orb, "So what is it that you do?"

The orb scoffed, "Foolish mortal, I am the orb of death, I am the one who controls all the undead. I am the ruler over the undead if you want my power... I could make a deal."

Filius mentally scoffed, "What is this deal?"

"You must sacrifice living human beings, the more innocent the better. Once these people are killed, I will gain more power and with this, I'll let you use a fraction of it to make an army for yourself. The catch is that you must create a body for me."

Filius was surprised, this orb wanted to become a living being with his own control, he decided to play with the orb a bit, "Seems like it's a bad deal, I do what you want and all you do is give me a fraction of your power? Why not give me all your power?"

"Ignorant mortal! You should be delighted to even be able to use 20% of my power.  Weak Mortal!", the orb said.

"What if I just decided to smash you right now?", Filius said with a sly grin.

"Mortal! I know you would do that, you're just like all mortals, crave power. I know you want this power too, once you have a taste you will want more and then you will never be able to have enough", the orb stated.

"Don't praise yourself so highly", Filius then started tightening  his grip on the orb and slowly started increasing his strength, "You have nothing I want."

The orb slowly started cracking, "What are you doing!? Mortal!? Are you mad!? NO!? You'll lose this one and only opportunity!"

"Why do you think I don't care about it?", Filius asked the orb was confused by what he asked. "Because I am the son of death", suddenly a massive aura of mana appeared, Filius had used magic to disguise his mana and now the orb could feel it. 

[N...no way, thus is impossible], Filius started tightening once more, [His..magic is not human! ] The orb knew that if he didn't say anything he would be destroyed, would he beg or would he resist, suddenly there was another crack, "OKAY!! I CONCEDE!!!"

Filius stopped his actions, the orb was still emotional, "I concede...mortal..."

Filius chuckled, "I also have more news", he moved his hand to his lips and he whispered, "I am no mortal. I'm undead." 

After he said that he tossed the orb to Nabe, "Watch this thing, make sure it doesn't break. I'll get the other items."

Next was the staff, "Appraisal", it seemed that the staff just increased the attack and speed of any magic used, but it was very weak. Though he wasn't going to complain, any weapon was a weapon, he could save it so when a mortal that served him wanted power he could give him this.  

He then shrugged and gave it to Nabe as well, he then sat down and waited. Suddenly he heard something, a voice, "Naberal Gamma! Show them the power of Nazarick!"

Filius smiled, he then looked at Nabe, "Seems like father thinks you are still fighting."

"Should we assist him, young master", she asked. 

"No, my father would probably think that we would obstruct his fight", Filius said, "he must also be testing some things as well, you know since we are in a new world."
