Is that a Wisp?

However, there was a problem. Zap soon noticed that other candidates around Alanda began to show signs of awakening an Equipment Spirit. Sword, spear, armor, you name it. At least 20 or so equipment held by the candidates seemed to be awakening.

'This... How is that possible?'

Zap quickly called Roben over. Well, the fact was that even Roben had already noticed those changes. It was so obvious that Zap's perception wasn't necessary.

'What the hell is happening there?'

Of course, their eyes soon stopped on Krune and the dark cloud over his shield. After using their Divine Senses, they noticed that whatever he was doing was spreading around. It was because of that that the other pieces of equipment began to show signs of awakening. As for Krune's own shield, it wasn't possible to check because that dark cloud was too thick.

'Roben, have you ever seen something like that? I noticed that dark cloud around his equipment before, but I couldn't tell what it was.'

Roben shook his head as he said.

'No. Still, how could it give birth to so many equipment spirits just like that?'

Zap and Roben focused their attention on Krune and the others around him. Because the Spirits hadn't awakened yet, only Roben and Zap noticed the changes happening there.

However, that situation didn't last for long. Alanda and the others soon noticed that something was happening to their equipment. It was as if they wanted to leave their hands. They had to hold them down so that they wouldn't head in Krune's direction.

With all of that, the candidates began to pay attention to Krune. As for Krune, he still had his eyes closed while controlling the Calamity Laws. All his attention was on his shield and nothing else. The situation continued like that for a few more minutes until all of a sudden, everyone heard several cries from all the equipment around Krune, including his own. To be more specific, those were the cries of a baby.

Obviously, Krune snapped out of his trance as he looked at the shield in his hand. Immediately, he smiled as the shield moved on its own in his hand.

"Oh! It worked!"

Krune was just about to check his shield when out of nowhere, several pieces of equipment came flying in his direction... and knocked him down to the ground.

*Ouch!*

There were several weapons there, so one could imagine how dangerous it was. If Krune hadn't protected himself at the last moment, his body would be ridden with holes now.

Following that, all the equipment began to jump around Krune as they cried, asking for his attention.

"What the hell?! Why is this happening?"

That was the question that Zap, Roben, and all the other candidates had. Of course, they weren't idiots. They could tell that all those equipment had awakened their Spirits. A total of twenty-three pieces of equipment came to life!

*clang, clang, clang...*

Their sound continued to reverberate in the room as they jumped around Krune, ready to charge at him again.

Krune didn't care, though. He quickly grabbed his shield and ran away. However, all the just-born Equipment Spirits shot in his direction, once again threatening his life.

"Senior Roben, help me!"

With that, Roben and Zap came back to themselves and shot forward as well. Those were just Baby Spirits who weren't old enough to think. They just wanted to be close to the guy who awakened them. However, they were putting Krune's life in danger like that.

Zap and Roben only needed a few seconds to put all the equipment under control. After all, these Spirits didn't have any cultivation and were born into the lowest level of equipment. Seeing that Roben and Zap had stopped the assault, Krune finally let out a sigh of relief. Soon after, he looked at the owners of those pieces of equipment with an angry expression.

"Just because my cultivation is this low, all of you are trying to kill me? Why? Did I do anything to you? Is it that funny to bully the weak? Fuck you!"

Roben, Zap, and everyone else felt like crying. It was all your fault, idiot!

Roben then tried to calm himself while he held those pieces of equipment with his Godly Energy.

"Ahem... Krune, it was not their fault."

Krune was taken aback by that.

"Not their fault? Then... why did they try to kill me?"

Roben's mouth twitched before explaining.

"They didn't. It was all your fault instead. You have just awakened all of their Equipment Spirits. No, it's wrong to say that you have awakened them. The only Equipment Spirit that has really awakened so far is the shield in your hands. These guys here are just close to that stage but are not completely awakened yet."

"This... Then, why are they attacking me?"

Roben pondered for a bit before saying.

"They aren't attacking you. Their own instincts told them that the source of their Awakening was you. Because of that, they all shot in your direction after you finished awakening your shield's Spirit. An Equipment Spirit that doesn't fully awaken will fade with time. These Spirits' instincts are trying to survive by getting close to you. They want to fully awake even though they can't really think yet."

Krune couldn't help but ask.

"What are you talking about? I didn't do anything to them. I only focused on my own shield."

Everyone didn't know what to say anymore. This demon beast tried to awaken his own Equipment Spirit and ended up awakening all the others' equipment around him.

However, just as Roben was about to continue to talk...

*Rumble!*

The entire building began to shake nonstop. It was as if the building would come down at any second.

"We're under attack!"

"Bullshit! Who would attack the Spirit Awakener Guild?!"

"Look at the window. The buildings outside are calm. Only the Spirit Awakener Guild Building is trembling. If it isn't being attacked, then what?"

"This... I don't know."

All the people and demon beasts quickly rushed out of the Spirit Awakener Guild, including Krune and his shield. They could deal with Krune's situation after they understand what was happening here.

However, the moment Krune stepped outside of the building, it began to tremble even more. Suddenly, its base began to leave the earth until... it created legs and ran in Krune's direction as well.

"WHAT THE HELL? SOMEONE, SAVE ME!!!"

Krune, Roben, and the rest of the group that was together with Krune ran even faster. Right behind them, the entire Spirit Awakener Guild followed, wreaking havoc everywhere it passed.

It didn't take long for Roben and Zap to understand what was happening.

There was one thing that was closer to Krune than other people and demon beasts' equipment. And that... was the building's floor right under him. That meant other than Krune's shield, the one piece of equipment that was closest to awakening its Spirit entirely was the Awakener Guild's Building! Its instinct wanted to awaken more than anyone else, so it obviously came running at Krune with more ferocity than any other equipment so far.

The only good thing was that the build was enormous, so everyone could tell it was running. Because of that, everyone was able to escape from its path of destruction without dying. Of course, it was hard to say how long it would continue if they didn't stop it.

"Fuck! Since you brought this problem up, go ahead and resolve it!"

Out of nowhere, Roben grabbed Krune's clothes before heading back in the building's direction.

"Ahhh! Are you trying to kill us?"

"Kill us your ass! I'm trying to save you and everyone else."

Just as they were about to be smashed by Awakener's Guild Building, Roben jumped right inside the building's door, falling inside the entrance hall. As soon as they entered the Awakener's Guild, the construction stopped running. However, it then began to jump around its position, causing the buildings around it to tremble and fall due to the earthquake.

Krune and Roben, of course, were being tossed right and left inside the building as well.

"Do something!"

Krune felt like crying as he said.

"Do what? I don't even know what I did!"

"Talk to it! That's the Spirit you almost awakened. It wants to hear you."

"What? Did I awaken the entire building's Spirit? Is that even possible?"

"Impossible or not, you just fucking did it! Just do something already!"

Krune's expression turned even uglier. Just what did he expect him to do? It was then that Krune thought about a possibility.

'Wait! All these problems started once I finished awakening my shield's Spirit. That meant it was in the moment I receded my Calamity Laws. Maybe...'

While being tossed everywhere, Krune tried to concentrate as he gathered the Calamity Laws once more. As soon as he did that, the building stopped jumping and sat down on the earth again... It's just that it was nowhere near where it should have been.

This time, Krune focused on the Spirit Awakening of the building itself instead of his shield. Although his shield's voice echoed in his mind with the sound of a baby crying, it didn't try to do anything. It was really akin to a newborn baby, barely moving at all.

'If that's the case, the building should calm itself down if I fully awaken it.'

Sure enough, Krune was right. The building was the closest one to awaken a Spirit other than his shield. That being said, it didn't take long for Krune to finish fully awakening it. Only then did the building completely calm down as a baby cry with a different tone echoed in everyone's minds. The building was alive!
