Ashton stared at the raven coloured dagger in front of him. He was hopeful he would get something better than his current equipment from there, but he had never even dreamt about getting his hands on a legendary grade weapon.
__
The Dagger is eyeing the <Blades of soaring winds>, Would you like to feed the blades to the dagger?
Yes/No
__
"Say what now?"
[Who knows how long it has been since the dagger was dismantled? It's obvious it would be hungry. Go on, feed it, it'll be a good way to test it out as well.]
"Are you out of your mind?" Ashton immediately refuted Astaroth's idea, "Did you read? Once I feed a weapon to it, the weapon is gone forever."
[You have a legendary weapon in your hands, why the heck are you arguing about losing a rare weapon on it?]
'... that's true.'
As far as Ashton did not want to lose the blades that had served him so well, they were no longer a suitable weapon for him. He had noticed it during the sparring session with Alucard, the blades weren't as strong as they felt before.
In other words, Ashton was in a different league after his evolution and the blades could no longer synergise with him. The dagger of venom, however, could fill that void considering it was a legendary weapon.
With that thought in his mind, Ashton took out the blades of soaring winds from the inventory and placed them in front of the reformed blade. As soon as he did that, the dagger split open in half, as if it was opening its mouth and gobbled up the blades in one go.
<The blade is happy with the quality of food provided to it.>
<The blade trusts its owner a bit more and reveals its details to the owner.>

"Isn't this a bit too much?" Ashton scratched the back of his head while reading the details of his new weapon.
As far as Ashton remembered, the highest damage the blades of soaring winds could do was limited to 183 hp per strike. But the least amount of damage the dagger can do is twice that number. Did the power of the dagger amplify or something?
[Looks like your wish was granted. Cheers to another broken addition to your arsenal.]
<The dagger would like you to provide it with a name.>
"This is a first..."
[All soul weapons need to be named by their owner. It helps further the connection between them. But be careful, if it doesn't like the name you give it, the familiarity could also drop.]
"That makes sense... I wouldn't be like to be called stupid names either. Let's see, what should I name it then? How about, Balmond?"
[That's a bit-]
<The dagger acknowledges its new name. Trust increased to 10%.>
"Well, I'm glad you liked the name, Balmond." Ashton laughed before putting the blade back inside the inventory, "Now let's get going. I need to unravel the mystery behind Mera's clones."

At the same time, somewhere in the galaxy.
"Hm... weird," Dracula mumbled.
"You felt it too huh?" Lycaon joined in.
Aamon stared at the two of them, clearly confused as to what they were mumbling about. After all, it wasn't common for them to space out in the middle of training. It either had to be something extremely important or extremely stupid.
"What are you two on about?" He asked them before shooting another Xyran's hologram.
"I guess our little buddy found one of the souvenirs we left behind." Dracula replied with the widest smile Aamon had ever seen on his face, "He might not be as hopeless as we thought after all."
"What souvenir?"
"A dagger I made right before the humans left the planet." Lycaon replied, "It's a shame you told us to not bring any of our beloved weapons when we left the planet for good. Having that dagger with us would have proven to be very useful."
"Better than having plasma swords?" Aamon scoffed.
Lycaon might be one of the greatest creationists to have ever been born. But Aamon refused to believe he could have created a weapon that exceeded the Xyran weapons, especially on such a primitive planet.
"Maybe." Lycaon shrugged his shoulders.
Aamon shook his head and decided to change the subject before he made anyone upset with his remarks.
"What about the kid? Did Frank mention anything?"
"Oh, he has evolved alright." Dracula chimed in, "At least that's what his spies told him. But no one knows what species he chose for his evolution."
"For his sake, I hope he didn't choose anything related to the Xyran race..."
