Zen knew how mysterious weapons differed from spiritual weapons. During the blooded test, he suffered horrific injuries from the dagger, which was one of spiritual weapons that Ryan used. Ryan would have defeated Zen if it wasn't for his body possessing the might of a top grade mysterious weapon.
Once Zen's body evolved into a spiritual weapon, his strengths would be naturally and significantly enhanced regardless of what he was capable of withstanding.
That brought the most critical point to Zen's mind.
"The most remarkable difference between spiritual and mysterious weapons isn't in their tenacity or sharpness. Instead, each spiritual weapon has a unique, extraordinary skill of its own. Like, Ryan's had a mighty silk energy thread he could summon," murmured Zen to the empty cavern.
"Since my body has been upgraded now to the equivalent spiritual weapon, I wonder what kind of 'skill' I will gain." Wondering about the possibilities excited Zen even more.
"Now, how do I trigger the skill of the spiritual weapon though?' reflected Zen.
Standing on the solid lake, Zen extended one hand out, breathed in and out, and loudly shouted, "Hai!" Rushing ahead two steps, he raised one leg, spinning in the air as he did, executing a spinning kick.
As he went through the motions, Zen's moves looked awkward.
After some trials and erroneous moves, Zen stood still, scratched his head and chuckled, thinking he was behaving idiotically.
Since he didn't even know if he had a spiritual weapon skill, it was impossible for him to test it the way he was.
When Zen stopped performing the senseless actions, the gold foil covering his body suddenly vanished from sight, leaving the cave in darkness all over again.
Zen pulled a fire starter out of his space ring. As he rubbed it, the cave lit up.
He looked around and saw nothing but the corpses of the queen blade locust and fire scorpion lion.
Earlier, when he jumped into the lake of lava, he had wondered whether or not the two massive beasts would battle each other.
Now, Zen felt he was overthinking everything. These wild creatures were more ferocious than he had imagined, and Zen couldn't help shaking his head and sighing at the miserable, wasted deaths of these two creatures.
As he headed in the direction of an exit and after he took two steps, he smacked himself in the forehead, thinking his brain was addled from the burning in the lake.
If the crystal cores from ordinary blade locusts and blade locust officers could be exchanged for some points, then, couldn't the crystal core from within the queen blade locust be exchanged for an even greater sum of points?
It would be such a waste to leave the queen blade locust's crystal core there.
While Zen thought, his heart raced. Tiptoeing to the queen blade locust, Zen took his knife out of the space ring and thrust it into her chest.
"Clank! Tink!"
