Vale offered a casual shrug as he sheathed the Rift Blade back into his storage ring.
Though Jurhan's interest was genuine, Vale had no intention of revealing too much.
He couldn't let anyone know the truth behind how he acquired the weapon—through extraction. The Divine Extraction System was his secret, and only a few trusted were somewhat aware of it.
After all, not only could it pull essence, skills, energy, and items from nearly anything, but the items he extracted were also refined to frightening perfection.
Indeed, a blade like that… wasn't forged; it was a processed item from the system.
"Let's just say I picked it off the remains of another being…" Vale replied vaguely. "Not much of a story."
Jurhan didn't push the issue. He smirked and accepted this explanation.
"Fair enough. Everyone has their secrets."
After a brief pause, Vale offered a respectful nod. "I appreciate the offer. I'll consider it… but I won't give an answer just yet."
