Lin Xu watched as Phantom started wildly hacking around with the scythe, and he was speechless.
This demon's nature is somewhat similar to Tao Yao's, but this female demon is far more wicked than Tao Yao, giving off the feeling of a born female villain.
However, seeing how much Phantom liked the scythe, Lin Xu thought it would be good to upgrade it as well.
This way, the Phantom's strength can also be enhanced, making him an asset to the subordinates.
Lin Xu then waved to Phantom:
"Come here for a second."
The phantom paused, glanced at Lin Xu with slight hesitation, and then walked hesitantly to stand in front of him:
"Master...Master, you're not going to tell me you were just teasing me and that you're going to take this scythe back, are you?"
Lin Xu's lips twitched:
Do I look that boring?
The Phantom's expression softened.
She was young when she left her tribe, so she never personally managed slaves.
She would just tease the human girls like this whenever she saw other members of her tribe wanting to have some fun.
The girls were initially excited and anticipating the eventual breakup, but this brought joy to their people for a long time.
Thankfully, the humans around us don't have this kind of perverse sense of humor...
Phantom glanced at Lin Xu cautiously again, assessing his various behaviors as his master and speculating on his personality.
Lin Xu then reached out and took the scythe from the Phantom's hand, and asked:
"How powerful a scythe weapon can your current soul power support?"
When Lin Xu obtained the scythe weapon, he sensed that there were requirements for using this kind of soul weapon.
One must reach a certain level in order to wield a stronger soul weapon.
Otherwise, even if the weapon is very powerful, it will be useless.
Originally, the Phantom's soul power was supposed to surpass his, and by a considerable margin.
Having been struck by his scythe, I wonder how Phantom is doing now?
Upon hearing this question, Phantom gave Lin Xu a resentful look:
"Originally, I could wield weapons a hundred times stronger than this scythe! But now, I can only wield weapons about three times stronger than this scythe..."
"Three times...?"
Lin Xu looked at the shrunken body of the phantom.
No wonder this female demon has turned into this state; it seems that the attack really did cause her a lot of damage, weakening her by thirty times.
Lin Xu then picked up the milky-white sickle and slashed hard with the blue sickle in his hand.
After a silent collision, the milky-white scythe shattered into three pieces.
"Ah! What are you doing!"
The Phantom roared angrily, instantly revealing its true nature once again:
"You human, you've really been toying with my feelings! You gave me this weapon first, and then broke it, just to frustrate me?! You're so despicable!"
Lin Xu's lips twitched:
"Why are you so agitated..."
As he said this, Lin Xu pieced together the three fragments of the milky-white scythe and unleashed his stacking talent.
The composition of this soul weapon is different from that of ordinary weapons; any fragment can be assembled into a whole and automatically repair itself.
Now that the three fragments have overlapped, the milky white scythe has directly transformed into a triple-existing bone scythe, increasing its power threefold.
Lin Xu tossed the stacked scythe to Phantom:
"Now let's test the power of this thing."
When Phantom saw Lin Xu's series of actions, her eyes widened in shock.
She then remembered that Lin Xu had previously possessed the ability to forge weapons by stacking fragments.
But she still thought it was some kind of powerful move that was very difficult to execute, otherwise it would have been impossible to create such a powerful new weapon.
However, she suddenly realized that this ability was very easy for Lin Xu to use, as if it were an instinct for him.
But how could that be!
How could a mere human possess such immense power?
This power might even rival that of legendary figures, or even divine messengers or gods...
The phantom suddenly came to its senses and then shook its head repeatedly.
How could that be? Even if this human's abilities are amazing, how could they possibly compare to the divine messenger, or even a god?
This is at most just a rather unusual special skill.
Phantom convinced herself of this, but still glanced cautiously at Lin Xu, marveling at his abilities once again.
Lin Xu noticed the phantom's gaze, but he didn't explain anything, only saying:
"You'll naturally understand my abilities once you've followed me for a while. You don't need to be so wary of me anymore. Now our interests are intertwined, and we're practically a team. I won't do anything too excessive to you, nor will I deliberately mistreat or mistreat you. After we leave, you'll meet some companions similar to you. You can get along with them without worry and stay by my side without fear."
Phantom looked at Lin Xu with a doubtful expression, but still slowly nodded.
This human seemed very sincere, and since he now had everything under control, there seemed to be no need for him to deceive himself.
Unless this person is as wicked as her kind, and intends to give her hope first, and then extinguish it.
However, she sensed that the human in front of her wasn't like that...
Phantom finally tried to accept Lin Xu's explanation, then took the scythe and began to try to manipulate and use it.
A moment later, the female demon wore a silly grin on her face again.
She gripped the sickle in her hand and laughed excitedly.
"This scythe is amazing! Much better than my old piece of junk! I can use this scythe to harvest souls, and I can also use it to heal souls. That way I can collect the consciousness and spirit of some annoying guys, hurt them first, and then inflict further damage. By torturing them repeatedly like this, those people will definitely be so afraid of me that they won't be able to sleep! Hahaha!"
Lin Xu's lips twitched as he looked at the still-laughing Phantom.
He wondered if he had been too nice to this female devil.
Given her wicked nature, surely we should use even more ruthless methods to make her obedient?
Otherwise, if this guy and Tao Yao got together, they'd probably turn the Sky Island upside down every day!
Lin Xu confirmed that Phantom's mentality had recovered somewhat, so there was no need to worry about the female demon losing her balance and having a mental breakdown.
But after looking at the ruins, he was still dissatisfied.
He had previously overcome the extremely difficult challenges of the ruins and even successfully lured away the imposter guide, Phantom.
Even though Phantom is an outsider who stole the rules of the ruins, her existence has indeed greatly increased the difficulty of the ruins. If the ruins only gave the previous two rewards, it would be quite unfair.
Lin Xu discovered that the ruins had not yet teleported him outside, and guessed that there might be some hidden mechanisms in the ruins where he could find extra rewards.
But before he could even begin to search around, that voice rising from the depths of his soul suddenly echoed in his mind again.
[Challenger Lin Xu achieves perfect completion of the Black Goat Ruins]
Your performance was absolutely perfect, and you even solved the puzzle with increased difficulty.
You now receive an extra reward.
Please open your mind and consciousness to receive the infusion of power...
The next moment, Lin Xu felt as if a huge hole had been opened in his head, and a cold yet abundant force suddenly surged into his head.
His spirit and will began a rapid transformation at this moment...
