Hearing this, Lu Li no longer hesitated. Skillfully aligning Prison Demon's tip with the scabbard's opening, he pushed it in inch by inch.
"Ah—"
At that moment, Skalmold suddenly let out a strange sound, startling Lu Li.
"What's wrong?"
Lu Li grew somewhat nervous. He thought Prison Demon might be too sharp, and that the Divine Weapon Creation forged by the Valkyrie was not sturdy enough to contain it.
If that were the case, then this trip to the world might have been for nothing.
"N-No, it's nothing. Please continue, Lord Lu Li."
Skalmold seemed to be panting. Her phantom hand rose to her chest, as though she were trying to calm her emotions.
In truth, the instant Prison Demon entered her, she had felt an overbearing aura continuously expanding within her, as though it were about to burst her apart.
But after she calmed down, that sensation vanished again, as if it had all been an illusion. All that remained was her ability to sense the peerless divine weapon's sharpness.
"Don't make such a fuss..."
As Lu Li spoke, he pushed Prison Demon deeper in. This time, he inserted it all the way to the bottom.
"Ah—"
Skalmold cried out again, making Lu Li frown.
"What is it now?"
Lu Li asked.
"It's nothing, Lord Lu Li. I'm just not quite used to it. I never imagined my Divine Weapon Creation would become a scabbard. The feeling of such a powerful weapon entering my body and continuously being wrapped by me is truly making me a little uneasy."
Skalmold explained with a flushed face. She was also ashamed of her loss of composure. She had thought she would become the strongest divine weapon, but who would have expected her to forge into a scabbard and immediately perform so poorly?
