"Introduce someone to me?"
Hearing Noah's words, Wendy immediately became confused.
Hadn't Noah already introduced all of his traveling companions to Wendy just now?
Who else was there to introduce?
Under Wendy's puzzled gaze, Noah drew the entirely silver short sword from the back of his waist.
"Est! Come out!"
As he spoke, Noah mobilized the divine might energy within his Shin'i Source and channeled it through his arm into the entirely silver short sword in his hand.
In the past, whenever Est was carried around by Noah in this form, Noah would always go through this step before calling out to her.
That was because Est could sometimes be asleep, and calling out to her verbally alone would not wake her.
He had to awaken Est by channeling divine might energy into her.
"Bzz..."
As divine might energy flowed into it, the Silver Dagger in Noah's hand emitted a gentle glow.
This was a sign that Est had awakened.
Bound to Est through an elf contract, Noah could clearly sense his contracted elf awakening.
However, just as Est awoke, the Silver Dagger that had been giving off a gentle glow suddenly dimmed.
"Huh?" Noah froze.
"What's going on?"
Filled with confusion, Noah continued channeling divine might energy into the Silver Dagger.
Yet this time, rather than glowing under the infusion of Noah's divine might energy, the Spirit Armament in the form of a Silver Dagger gradually withdrew its radiance. Before long, it returned to its utterly still state.
Noah finally cried out in surprise.
"What is going on?"
"Noah?" Wendy tilted her little head upward, looking at Noah in confusion.
"What's wrong?"
