My Space-Time System

Chapter 406: Haiti and Skoll (part 2)

Immediately Blake was done reading the upgrades and new active abilities, he wasted no time testing them out.

“First, Soul call.” Blake placed Ebony and Ivory at one end of the room, before moving over to the other end.

‘So all I need to do is summon the sword.’ Blake stretched out his hand and envisioned the greatsword in it.

Immediately, Ebony and Ivory began floating in the air before moving to Blake’s right hand at an astonishing speed.

“Not as if I ever lose Ebony and Ivory, but this would come in handy.” Blake said as he tried summoning the greatsword again, but this time in a slightly different way.

“Let’s see how it goes.”

This time Blake stretched out his 2 hands and when the greatsword was summoned it split into its different forms. It was only then that Blake noticed the change in its appearance.

.....

“Why didn’t I notice this?” Blake asked when he noticed that the silver color of Ebony and Ivory had turned Black and white respectively.

[Because you were too focused on how you lost the Master seal.] The system answered.

Ignoring the system, Blake began checking out both swords, noticing that the design of the cross guards had changed from normal ones to that of howling wolves. The howling wolf design on Ebony had glowing red eyes, while that of Ivory had blue eyes.

“It’s super cool, but the problem is that people would easily notice and begin asking questions.”

There were already a lot of questions about Ebony and Ivory and how he got it. With this glaring change, things were bound to get worse.

Just as Blake was thinking about how people would react to the change, the colors, as well as the cross guard design of Ebony and Ivory, reverted to their previous look.

“What the fuck?!” Blake was so shocked that he had to drop the swords.

“It’s as if they can hear me.” Blake was stunned, but that was when both Ebony and Ivory glowed.

“You can hear me?” Blake asked because he thought his eyes were playing tricks on him, but that was when they glowed again.

“Are you shitting me?” Blake’s shock changed to a wide smile as he picked up both swords.

Blake changed the appearance of the legendary sword a few more times before trying other things.

“Can you reduce your sharpness?” Blake asked.

The swords glowed again, and Blake tried cutting a silver ingot but the sword had become too blunt.

“Time to return to testing out the abilities.”

Blake activated Metamorphosis, and immediately Ebony and Ivory moved out of his hands and transformed into wolves made of energy. Ebony’s energy body comprised mostly of black outlines and red eyes, while that of Ivory were light blue outlines with blue eyes.

They both stood at the same height of 0.9 meters (2 feet 11 inches), but unlike Ivory that had a serene aura, Ebony had an aggressive aura and was continuously growling.

While Blake was still trying to make heads and tails of what was going on, Ivory walked up to him and began rubbing its head on Blake.

“So soft!” Blake was shocked when he touched Ivory and felt her soft fur.

“Ivory is cute but I am not too sure about Ebony.” Blake was still apprehensive of the growling wolf.

“I hope you don’t bite off my fingers.” Blake said as he decided to pet Ebony.

Surprisingly, the growling reduced, and Ebony began leaning towards Blake as he rubbed the top of his head and under his chin.

“A second ago you were acting hard to get.” Blake said.

Owoo!

Ebony howled in embarrassment, causing Blake to laugh.

[You never seem to stop amazing me. How are you not questioning how something in an energy form has soft fur?] The system facepalmed.

“It’s not as if the answer would change anything so it’s best to enjoy the moment.” Blake said.

Blake knew that Haiti and Skoll were in energy form because the legendary sword wasn’t at its peak. As for why it felt like real fur, he had no idea.

After spending a few more minutes petting both Ebony and Ivory, Blake decided it was time to finish testing the upgrades and new abilities.

“Alright guys, time to get back to work.” Blake said to the wolves, but they gave a lazy howl and didn’t move out of his body.

“I am free for the entire day. So after testing you guys would get as many pets as possible.” Blake’s promise of receiving more pets later made them stand up.

“According to the list, all that is left is Canine fusion.” Blake said to the wolves as he checked the sword’s info, but that was when he saw new information.

[Name: Haiti and Skoll

Grade: Peak Knight rank

Metamorphosis: Ebony and Ivory transform into Haiti and Skoll.

Ruler’s will: Once in Haiti and Skoll form they suppress every beast below the knight rank within a 15-meter range.

Binding chains: Haiti and Skoll produce energy chains that constrict and drain vitality.]

“These abilities are from Master seal but this just shows how unique Ebony and Ivory are.” Blake had never heard of any artifact or weapon that was able to upgrade itself, talk less of one that absorbed and obtained the abilities of an artifact.

“Although it didn’t get all the abilities of Master seal, it still handled my problem. Now all I have to do is burn the hilt to ashes and no one would be able to trace it back to me.” Blake let out a sigh of relief as the invisible weight on his chest had been removed.

After making sure there was nothing else he was missing, Blake decided to test the final ability, Canine fusion.
