Karl picked up the blade, and immediately felt the resistance from the Blade of Champions.
It had been some time since he tried to use another weapon, and he had totally forgotten that the blade was actually intensely territorial. With its effect, Karl wasn't sure that he could properly bond the weapon at all.
Everyone waited, wondering what Karl was doing, and not privy to the silent objections of the Blade of Champions.
After a few seconds, Karl relented.
"It seems that I offended my other sword. I will have to find a proper home for this one later." He explained.
Dana gave him a strange look. "How do you offend a sword?"
"Attempt to cheat on it with another sword? One with a longer blade and a fancy skill stone." Karl replied with a shrug.
Dana resisted the urge to facepalm as Karl took out the Blade of Champions, which now pulsed with Totem Rank power, as if staking its claim.
"Didn't it let you use the maul without any issues, though?" Tessa asked.
