Summoning The Holy Sword's
Chapter 3

Finally, Rhode could take a deep breath, then he lay on the bed once more.
After chatting with Lize, he confirmed that this place was indeed the Dragon Soul Continent. But it was not in the era that he was in before – it was much further – Era Twilight. If this timeline is compared to the game, it should be when Dragon Soul Continent Online in the beta testing period opens.
How did I get here?
Rhode sighed, then shook his head, no longer wanting to think about these strange and mysterious things. After all, he was already here, and this fact could not change. So what's he gonna do next?
First of all, Rhode decided to try what he could do for now. Immediately, after thinking, a clear and familiar system appeared in front of him. It showed his current status and attributes:
[Rhode Alexander]
[Level 1
Race: Mix Mixed (??)
Talent: Locked
Racial Gift: Locked
Racial Characteristics: Locked
Class: Calling the Swordsman (Hero)
Class Skills: Calling (E Rank)
Special Sword Science: Moon Shadow Sword (E Rank) (Available Skills – Destruction Blade)
Other Classes: Alchemists (Expertise in Mysterious Creation)
Special Expertise: Forming (E Rank)]
This is a very ordinary but unusual Character Status screen. But when he saw the first row, Rhode almost shouted out loudly.
Mixed race? Why am I a mixed race ?!
In the Dragon Soul Continent, the meaning of the so-called mixed race was no different from the one on Earth. The mixed race here was born with a marriage between humans and other races. Rhode was firmly convinced that he was a human, and even in the game, his role was also human. But why does his Character Status show that he is a mixed race? And it was also followed by a question mark which meant that the other half of his blood had yet to awaken. Bonuses and racial characteristics are also still locked in. That meant that in order to open it, he had to understand what kind of blood he had first to awaken the power within him.
For Rhode, this could be considered a problem because, typically, race rewards are automatically awarded after creating a character. For example, the bonus of the human race can shorten the time in learning skills, immunity to toxins, improved reputation and many others. But now, he would not be able to obtain these bonuses and characteristics until he woke him up.
But it was no surprise as he also discovered new additions to his basic skills such as Sword Science and Alchemy. Since he had not forgotten the swordsmanship and Alchemy skill he had learned, it was displayed under his status, but it was dark in color. That meant he lacked the necessary abilities and levels to learn and use them. However, he didn't really need to worry about it. As long as he could improve his abilities, he would be able to use those skills once again. Of course, the skill rank was also reduced to the lowest rank, which was E, not SS Rank.
However, Rhode did not care about those little things because what he valued the most was not rank, but the source. Many of the swordsmen were hard to learn. Not only did he need to increase his level and stats, he also needed to complete chain quests, increase his reputation and find hidden items. In order to complete it, he would need a lot of money, time, and luck. In the game, it was only in the last year in the Dragon Soul Continent that he managed to build his own character, thus having the confidence to challenge the Void Dragon.
Unfortunately, everything has its ups and downs. Although his Swordsmanship had no problems, he quickly discovered that his experience, level, and rank were missing, he had lost, and the most important thing that has been lost is the most important for the existence of the Spirit Swordsman — His Summoning Spirit.
In the Dragon Soul Continent, the Spirit Swordsman was a class with many dilemmas. At first, when it was officially launched, it had attracted everyone's attention because it was an exclusive class. But after the official release of the class, since the Spirit Swordsman needed to cultivate magic and Swordsmanship, both of them had completely different substatistics, as well as the complexity of coordinating with the Summoning Spirit. There is also the process of acquiring class knowledge, which means that players need to play the class in all three aspects to get to know the class well. That's why this class was so disappointing.
'The 'summoning' of the Swordsman Spirit and the Mage's 'summoning' seemed to be the same, but in reality, the two were very different. 'The 'Callings' of Mages spent their own power to open portals for creatures to enter the world, and control things using magic. However, the 'callation' of the Swordsman Spirit was different. They do not have the power to open portals, because their power comes from the world itself, and one of their abilities allows them to awaken souls from mysterious and historical relics. They could even make a contract and seal it for their own use.
Although it sounded extremely powerful, it was still too troublesome. In fact, many players were confused by his skills. They thought that by purchasing cheap ancient relics from the merchants, they could use summoning skills to awaken the souls of those things and make contracts, easily obtaining artifacts.
There were three methods to obtain the summoned spirit. The first is to awaken and condense the soul of a dead supernatural being and turn it into a summoned spirit. But the statistics will change based on owner statistics, environment, and other factors. For example, if a Spirit Swordsman killed a Fire Snake in order to obtain his soul, but that soul was summoned in snowy weather or that snake was killed by equipment with Dark Elements, it would have been, it would be very difficult to know about the summoned spirit stats . If it was Hydra, then it would be much better if it had the Dark Element. However, if it was just an ordinary weak monster with conflicting elements, then it would be best to just cry.
The second method to obtain summoned spirits was to defeat non-human beings and meet certain requirements. After that, one could make a contract and seal it as a summoned spirit. This is a simpler method, but also more dangerous because non-human beings have their own will and consciousness, which means that they can reject the caller's orders and act according to their own judgment. Of course, this method would not be welcomed by anyone because they did not want to call something that caused trouble.
As for the final method, it was by activating a special skill called 'Soul Awakening' at Level 10 and awakening a soul by combining a number of spirits to produce new higher-tier spirits. With this method, players can control summoned spirits to a certain extent. As long as players were familiar with the characteristics, races, and unified spirit call stats, players could easily figure out the results of the fusion. But this kind of method was too risky and might also disappoint as the level of the new summoning spirit was unknown. When two high-tier spirits fused, it might result in a Tier 1 summoned spirit; it might also result in a higher-level spirit or even a useless spirit. If it was the former, it was still fine since the level could be raised, but if it was the latter, then it would be best to just remove it.
Acquisition of the experience of the summoned spirit is shared with its owner. This was also one of the reasons why the Spirit Swordsman was much slower in level than the other classes. For others, they could only level up on their own, but the Spirit Swordsman would have to share their experience to level up their summoning spirit so that they could evolve. But from the first point, one should know that the evolution of the summoned spirit is influenced by its environment, the attributes of its owner and other external factors. Sometimes, the results of evolution are not necessarily what the owner expected.
Due to his disappointing characteristics, he went from being the 'Most Popular' class to being one of the '10 Most Disappointing Classes' on the official website of the Dragon Soul Continent. There are even people who consider those who have chosen this class as beginners, or beginners who are cheated by the introduction and announcement of CGI, or players who are just playing for fun or even gambling addicts, or even gambling addicts, and the last one is people like that. . . Rhode.
From a simple ordinary player, he had turned into a legendary phenomenon. Using this troublesome class, the Spirit Swordsman, Rhode had taken first place in various servers and had even continuously conquered three eras. How do the other players feel?
Most other players do not like such random methods because it will make them feel the result is not in their grasp. But precisely because of that, Rhode felt very happy because it was challenging. This was also the reason why he chose this class. In fact, in his long playing career, he also experienced many of those 'disappointments', but he never gave up because just conquering those difficulties would make him more satisfied.
But now, seven years of his training, dozens of high-level spirits were gone, just like that. Although on the back of his right hand, the mysterious summoning circle was still there, he could not sense the existence of his summoning spirit anymore. It was no wonder as his body was no longer the same as a game.
But . .
Rhode reached out his hand, touched his chest pocket, and quickly found a card.
That's a white card. Painted on it were thorns encircling a pure white long sword. The sword was carved with complex carvings. There were beautiful wings beside her; just looking at her gave off a kind of pleasant feeling. In the four corners of the card, there are four different symbols. In the upper right corner, there is a white semicircle; in the upper left corner, there is a small X written. Below, in the lower right and left corners, there are two small numbers written —3. Behind him, there was a mysterious line of elegant text that appeared on the surface.
[The 10th Eternal Holy Sword: Star Sign, No statistics, Available for Fusi— No matter how long it has passed, it still cannot bury its dazzling brilliance. ]
Actually still here!
Looking at the card in his hand, Rhode was slightly surprised for a moment. This was the Summon Card, and he was also very familiar with this card. This rare card was something he got when he joined the official game show. At that time, he had led his guild and won the first place combined server for two consecutive quarters. In honor of him as the strongest top player, the gaming company gave him this card. Of course, this type of card was often sold in game stores, but to him, it was a waste of money to buy things that looked good but were useless. That's why he kept this card with him. When he received it, he treated it like a savior and always kept it by his side because it didn't really take up much space.
Initially, there was nothing special about it except limited edition cards. But now, a weak light radiated from the surface of the card and shone in his hand.
Should I try it?
Rhode hesitated for a moment. After that, his right hand held the card tightly. The magic circle in his right hand shone, blue magic lines spread out, running all his fingers. Suddenly, the white card let out a dazzling white light, and turned into tiny specks of dust, completely disappearing into thin air.
At this moment, a system prompt appeared before him.
[1/10th of the Eternal Deck has been obtained, the 10th Eternal Holy Sword, Star Sign]
"Relig . . . "
Looking at the system prompt, Rhode could only sigh. He did not know why this card had a summoning function in this world, while it was useless before. In the game, before reaching Level 15, finding +2 for all weapons stats was extremely difficult, and the sword 'Star Mark' had +3 for all stats, which was enough to help him cover his current weaknesses. Moreover, it was also available for fusion which meant that as long as he could find a suitable spirit for him, he could add it to his possession. He needed the power of 'Soul Awakening' to use a special skill. That was why this weapon was still inferior to other ordinary weapons. But based on its attack power, this weapon was considered a rare and powerful piece of equipment.
However, it was very difficult for him to feel excited now that he still felt strange being involved in this kind of situation.
Is this a game? Or reality? If that's the truth, how can I come back?
Tap. At this moment, a knocking sound was heard.
Rhode looked up and saw a middle-aged man walking in. He was wearing the leather armor of an adventurer, with bright red hair that was combed back casually. Looking at Rhode, the man smiled.
"Hello, sir, I'm the leader of the Crescent Star mercenary group, Carter."
