After Sapphire's explanation, I looked at the weapon one last time.

[Ancient Relic of the Guardian of the Seas (Broken)]: This item is broken and has lost most of its powers due to the passing of time and the death of its original wielder. However, if it can find a new wielder and new materials to be repaired with, the legendary weapon's true power will be unlocked.

[Description]

An old-looking sea trident that was once wielded by Aquarius, the Guardian of the Seas. It lacks its original powers due to the passing of time and the death of its original wielder. It is barely stronger than a simple wooden spear.

I have yet to possess a weapon with such high-quality materials added into it. A tooth from a primordial dragon mother is not something I've been able to get my hands into, sadly. My mother cannot give me her own tooth from the Draconic Records, nor my father even though he should be weaker than me by now.

"You said it was Soul Bound?" I wondered. "Why did he do something like this knowing his weapon would die off if he died?"

"Mostly due to safety, so even if someone could steal it, unless they were truly worthy of wielding it, they would be unable to utilize the weapon's true powers." Sapphire said.

"I see. I haven't done that with my own I guess, though I suppose the Cooking related weapons would disappear if I were to die…" I said while thinking.

"Cooking weapons?" The mermaid wondered.

"Ah, never mind." I sighed. "So I wonder if I can get this? You don't mind?"

"Ah, of course not." Sapphire said. "You're a dragon king, Aquarius would had happily granted this weapon to you, I know. I hope you could somehow find a way to repair it…"

"Let's see if it even accepts me."

I gently tried to grab the trident, as it suddenly generated blue-colored lightning, trying to get me away from it. The weapon had a rather bad temper, but I just forcefully grabbed it anyways.

FLAAASH!

A sudden burst of lightning emerged from within the weapon and my hand, both unifying together, I felt a slight amount of pain in my hands, but it quickly subsided.

"What an impertinent beast you are, to grab me as if I were a mere tool for you…"

And then I heard the weapon's voice. It sounded like a wise woman's voice, not as crazy sounding like Skadi's voice, but it was certainly similar to Sapphire.

"Come on, don't be like that. How about you become my weapon instead? I am the Dragon King." I said with a cocky smirk.

"You may carry that title, but you've barely mastered a few bloodlines." She sighed. "To call yourself a Dragon King you must master them all. Also, do you think I haven't noticed that Demon King seed growing inside of you?!"

"I assure you it wasn't… intended." I said with a giggle.

"Tch… Certainly, you're not as pure hearted as my previous master and creator. But even if you want me to help you and become your weapon, I'll need materials to reawaken my power." She said. "My master… died long ago. If you could somehow find a piece of his own body, scales, his eyes, or even his heart or the divine core he left behind, anything would do."

"I see, I guess I am getting the gist of it, for now greet my other weapons." I quickly threw the weapon inside of my shadows.

"H-HEY! Why are you throwing me here?!" She angrily said.Google seaʀᴄh novelenglish.net . Firᴇ.net - novelenglish.net . bin

"I won't let you replace me." Skadi looked down at her.

"Skadi please calm down, if you touch her she might shatter into pieces!" Uller tried to stop her.

The Trident quickly escaped my shadows and began floating around. I guess she can do the bare minimum at the very least.

"T-The Trident is moving and talking?!" Sapphire had a hard time reacting in time because she was paralyzed for a bit once I grabbed the weapon.

"Hahh, did you had to bring this ruffian to wake me up from my sleep?!" The Trident angrily said.

"I-I am sorry!" Sapphire sighed. "B-But I am so happy you're talking. You're like Aquarius daughter after all… I was so worried you decided to never speak anymore and sleep until you fell into pieces…"

"Well, it isn't as if there was any more point in living after my master and creator died, no?!" The Trident said angrily. "Sigh… So you're just trying to fight that monster again? Even when we could never truly kill him, and even when my master… my father died…"

"I… I just don't want to let go of this hope I have, even less when the current queen is plotting to unseal him." Sapphire said. "Please, Ariel, help Drake and his allies! They may need your strength, you were the only weapon with the ability to damage the Deep One's impenetrable Core!"

"Uuuggh…" The Trident, named Ariel, sighed.

However, ultimately, she ended sighing a last time and then smacking Sapphire's head with her handle.

BAAM!

"O-Ouch! That hurt a little!" Sapphire said.

"Fine, fine, fine! You've always been such an annoying brat!" Sighed Ariel. "Even going as far as making my father fall in love with you, geez!"

"Heheh, I've missed your banter." Sapphire laughed.

"I guess you two have made up." I said, everyone else had grabbed some new equipment and were wearing items that increased defenses against water element by a lot, which might be ideal for the Dungeon we're going to tackle soon.

"More or less." Sapphire nodded. "Now, Drake, let's not waste any more time. To the Dungeon we go. We must procure the Blue Orb's Fragment before the forces of the Deep One does."

"I am more than prepared, show us the way." I said with a smirk.
