Ves continued to feel ambivalent as he initiated the extraction process.
The Elegant Cut was already a weak tier 10 Destroyer weapon. Though it still contained enough Destroyer particles that the removal of just one of them should not make much of a difference, he still felt he was about to desecrate a relic.
The weapon was already weak in its current state. His intended action would only weaken it further. He would be doing a disservice to the object as well as its creator by tampering with it in this manner.
Nonetheless, Ves did not stray from his plan.
He carefully controlled the precision instruments and created a temporary fault in the blade of the weapon.
This carefully calculated gap destabilized the weapon, causing it to spontaneously eject destructive energies at irregular intervals.
Ves sighed in relief. "No accidents so far. Good."
If he tried to perform a similar move on the tier 3 Destroyer spear, it would definitely produce an explosive response!
