"Dragon-Pattern Mark?"
A system prompt sounded beside Guy's ear, and he froze for a moment.
Then, with a thought, he checked the description.
The ability activated when [Heavenly Dragon Mark] collection progress reached halfway.
[Dragon-Pattern Golden Seal: A manifestation of the Buddhist Heavenly Dragon Guardian's divine power. The Heavenly Dragon's power can be bestowed upon all manner of objects, increasing their sharpness and strength, subduing demons and vanquishing evil while safeguarding the righteous path. Wherever the mind reaches, the golden seal may attach. Even ordinary iron can become a demon-subduing dharma weapon.]
After reading the description, Guy roughly understood.
The golden dragon still could not completely leave his body and attack independently, but it had already gained some of a Buddhist guardian deity's divine abilities.
It could bestow its power upon objects and strengthen them.
Any object would do—robes, weapons... even mundane items.
"So... it's enchantment?"
Guy glanced at the Kubikiribōchō lying off to the side, where it had fallen during the battle.
He opened his right hand and activated [Dragon-Grasping Technique]. With a "whoosh," the Kubikiribōchō flew directly into his grasp.
With a thought from Guy, the golden dragon tattoo on his chest seemed to come alive.
It swiftly coiled and spread across the broad blade of the Kubikiribōchō!
The next instant, a lifelike golden dragon mark, claws bared and fangs exposed, appeared on the blade!
It was not an engraving. It flowed faintly across the blade like a living creature, radiating a subtle, majestic golden glow.
Guy casually gripped the enchanted [Golden Dragon Decapitating Blade].
He gave a light swing toward a massive, hard boulder several meters tall nearby.
He did not channel chakra or use any blade technique.
He relied solely on the strength of his arm and the blade's own weight.
"Shhk—!"
A soft sound rang
