Smilingly Zhun Xuyig took Zhi Rui to the forge. It was a common forge only the fire that was specially bought from the sect was different. It was a limited resource but it was needed for these last weapons. Even with all, she amounted from the tower maiden and the sect leader"s investments. Only half of the total capital remained. It"s produced by the pheanix elder form the main branch.
Zhun Xuying bent down and picked a pair of golden hammers, their design was simple. A thin round rod as the handle and a square rectangle as the head. it was purely blunt.
One had one meter and a half long handle as golden as the Head of the hammer. While the other was as short as a forearm.
"When I did yours, I thought about the place we"re going to, about the nature of your inner energy. So I took your blood of Hilda to try and do something above and exceed myself. something different and I succeeded!
Zhi Rui looked at the hammer. Soul-bound weapons meant exactly that, A weapon that is bound to the soul, it cannot be taken away without killing the owner and it can evolve with the owner.
It"s a slow process, and the weapon will never jump levels, but this weapon will never be useless. This kind of weapon can only be created at will by extremely talented and experienced Forge masters. the fact that Zhun Xuying created one is a miracle. like a lizard becoming a dragon.
Zhi Rui smiled. "I thought it was weird that someone at the third level managed to fell unconscious out of tiredness. So this is why."
Zhi Rui took in the hand casually. but as soon a Zhun XUying"s finger left the handle of the smaller hammer, the weigh pulled her down. She didn"t have time to think. Her upper body went down fast. And if she hadn"t caught herself in time, she"d be on her knees.
That was how unexpectedly heavy the hammer was. She had carried the rare metal but the hammer had less than half of the original material"s size.
"It"s heavily condensed." Zhun Xuying said with a sweat drop on her eyebrows. She had forgotten to mention ht weight.
"WHy you picked it up like they were feathers?" Zhi Rui asked.
"Manufacturer benefit, it lasts for a while. the spell was in one of the books about smithing you gave me."
Zhi Rui didn" mind. She looked the hammer up and down it was nothing awesome looking, it didn"t even have aggressiveness to it, rather, the one with the long handle looked more like an oversized golden cane. Now that she looked a the end of the handle it as thinned out with a pointy edge.
Zhi Rui looked at Zhun XUying with raised eyebrows.
"You usually use everything around as a weapon, I thought that I might as well make it a half short spear." She said with a blush.
Then her eyes snapped opened wide and she hoped "Drop your blood in it! You"ll see the best part of it all!"
Zhi Rui tore her skin from inside using her energy and it dropped. both hammers was a set so she only needed to drop blood on one.
Their golden hue shone even brighter. zh Rui felt the connection with them and widened her eyes. with a thought, she used her inner energy and grabbed the smaller hammer with it. It suddenly became transparent, then disappeared entirely. But the format was still there. Her energy which was carrying it with difficulty, now moved it like it was a part of itself.
"I used your blood to engrave the ethereal nature of your inner energy, Infuse and unfamiliar energy to me was horrible but I barely manage to do it. as long as it"s in contact with you ethereal nature its weight won"t be a burden but as soon as it leaves it"ll become normal.
Zhi Rui threw it down with her energy and like a meteor, the forge trembled and what was ground turned into a half meter deep crater.
ZHun Xuying who was still wobbly almost fell.
But Zhi Rui was in too much of a shock to say something.
then Zhun Xuying eagerly pointed at the longer hammer. Zhi Rui looked a the anxious woman "Does she had another surprise?"
Zhi Rui grabbed it was two-time heavier than the other, but she could still move it around with ease.
"flow your inner energy into it."
Zhi Rui did so to her astonishment, the hammer became ghost-like transparent. it traversed her hands and feel to the ground.
Zhun Xuying didn"t wait and started speaking.
"I used a trait from that rare skill you gave Hilda, I took it from her blood, my intention was something equal but I only managed to bring out the ability to pa.s.s through the material and for only a half a second. and after using it, you need to wait four seconds to activate again."
H-How the h.e.l.l did you do that!?" Zhi Rui asked with fright.
"I mixed Hilda"s blood with your ethereal nature and it worked!" Zhun Xuying screamed like a mad cultivator.
"Like a lizard becoming a dragon? No, her talent is like a chicken giving birth to a phoenix."
Zhi Rui"s eyes grew redder, and l.u.s.t blossomed on her chest. she smirked "Woman, first is your innate talent, then your talent with forge materials and smithing, I"ll war you today, if someday somebody, anybody, A leader of an exalted clan a Divine, G.o.d, It could be even the ruler of this d.a.m.ned universe. If any of those ever come to take you away from me, I"ll kill them, and if I can"t then I"ll kill you. Even if you, yourself wants to go."
The bloodshot eyes bore into Zhun Xuying"s mind like glowing red hot iron on cattle.
Zhi Rui called her hammers and it went inside her inner core.
An ancient scroll surfaced on her mind and she looked at Zhun Xuying.
"I found a way to have a child born of mine and your blood. I"ll study more, but it"ll involve the forge, so keep your talent sharp."
Zhun Xuying froze, but maintained pose and nodded.
"I expect the other weapons are above the norm too?"
Zhun Xuying tilted her head thoughtfully and compared to the weapons she had seen so far. to her surprise, she was way above everyone in her level. She nodded.
Zhi Rui"s face went stiff for a second. Her face went stern but her eyes were smiling. "Since they are not bound weapons, I don"t want them showing it around, deliver it to them in boxes with a note of the weapons traits. Also, write me one with the info of their weapons.
Zhi Rui said, and Zhun Xuying acted
After delivering everything it. Zhi Rui gathered everyone. Beast and men.
"Today we"ll destroy this camp, and start our mission, But, should we succeed; Any place you walk, will be your home. And anywhere you sit, will be your throne!"
Zhi Rui"s deep green eyes shone brighter than ever. it shook their hearts.
"Everything starts today, Let"s go! Kill everyone on our way!"
"AUUHHHHH!!!!"
