Chapter 66: All-severing Moonlight (Replica)
Jaden calmly met Selina’s gaze before returning her hug. He patted her back and playfully whispered into her ear.
"Haha! I am alright... You can let go of me now."
Selina heard him, but did not let go and replied by shaking her head. Seeing her acting like this, Jaden’s lips arched up as he mumbled in her ears.
"Now that I think about it, I never talked about our relationship with you... And I still can’t because I have to obtain my lost memories first. I won’t be that heartless to ask you to wait for me, but I will come to meet you the day I get my memories back... I promise—I’ll come for sure."
Selina lifted her head and gave him a bright smile before she answered.
"I will always wait for you, even if it takes seven lives for you to come."
Jaden also gave her a bright smile. She stepped back and looked at the others who were checking the crystalline weapons and armour.
"These are as strong and robust as Common relics," Jaden said as he stepped down from the altar.
"What about the sword?" Jamie questioned with a pained expression; he had just lost an amazing sword, after all.
Jaden smiled at him and lifted his left hand, and the blue liquid that left his hand took the form of a sword that appeared to be carved out of a single crystal.
Jamie examined the sword, and soon a sour look appeared on his face. He looked at Jaden and questioned.
"What the fuck happened to it? Before it was glowing like a sun, now it’s not even a fucking candle."
The sword had lost most of its glow during the binding process, and now it didn’t look as mythical as before.
Jaden shrugged at him and looked at Arden, who was looking at the sword with sparkling eyes. He heaved a sigh and questioned.
"Say whatever you want, Arden."
Arden looked at him, and a bright smile appeared on his face as he began speaking.
"It may be a less cooler than before, but it’s still cool, so you don’t have to be dissatisfied about it. It looks amazing," he gestured thumbs up at the end.
"Is that so..." Jaden shook his head and looked at Navin, who was staring at him with a worried look.
He raised an eyebrow and questioned loudly as Navin stood a few meters away from him.
"What’s wrong?"
"What happened to you? How did you do—" he paused and moved his hands around as he continued, "—...that?"
Jaden nodded at his question and answered with a serious look.
"No clue."
Navin blinked a few times and waited for him to continue, but after he didn’t say anything for the next few moments, he replied.
"I-i see..."
Just as usual, Shelly stayed silent, but this time her eyes appeared less distant than usual. Jaden didn’t think much of it and looked at the hole above.
The moonlight that was streaming down from there had frozen, and now a thin mirror made up of frozen moonlight filled the hole.
Jaden looked at the thin mirror before calling out to this system.

He focused on the relic he had just obtained, and a blue screen appeared before him.

All-severing Moonlight (Replica)
Rank: Legendary
Description: The picture of the divine weapon of calm took root in Nightshade’s mind and later led him to become part of a game.
Enchantment: [Serene Mind], [Moonlight’s Touch], [Shapeless], [All Severing], [Scion of Ice]
————[Picturebook]————
Jaden focused on the enchantments, and their information came to his mind, and he began reading.
[Serene Mind]: Helps you stay calm in all situations.
[Moonlight’s Touch]: Being under moonlight refills your mana.
[Shapeless]: This weapon has no shape.
[All Severing]: You can cut anything, may it be physical or spiritual.
[Scion of Ice]: Grants authority over ice elementals.
Jaden finished reading and cursed inwardly.
’Blasted Hell...’
’This is crazy... and to think it was actually the replica of a divine weapon which humanity hasn’t even seen before.’
Soon, however, his expression darkened as he focused on the description.
’Nightshade had made a deal with the witch of possibility in return for the sword.’
He lifted his hands and rubbed his face as his thoughts continued.
’Nightshade was the first one who listened to Possibility’s impossible wonders, however...’ his thoughts stopped as he remembered Possibility’s words.
There’s a possibility for each wonder to come true, even if it’s a broken one.
’And it did come true, but Possibility had already obtained what she wanted.’
The newfound knowledge, however, didn’t help in any way as it had nothing useful for him. For now, his goal was to leave this dreadful place and obtain his lost memories.
He shook his head and put all of the knowledge at the back of his head as he spoke.
"Get ready... This one is going to be the last stage."
Everyone nodded at him and readied their weapons. Jaden stepped onto the altar and called out to the [All-severing Moonlight (Replica)] and commanded it to take the shape of a spear.
He gripped the spear from the centre of its shaft before throwing it towards the thin mirror.
The mirror broke, and the sound of cracking glass echoed within the hall.
Crack... Crack... Crack...
Jaden turned towards the others as he spoke seriously.
"Get ready!"
Just as those words left his lips, the reality itself cracked, and they found themselves on the top of a platform which gave them a view of a dark room brightened with torches on the walls and at the centre stood a nightmare of humongous size.
