[Mr. Kaiyan? Are you awake?]
“Hmmm...”
It was only after five minutes that I felt very short that I was able to open my eyes again at home in the sub-space.
After shaking my head slightly dizzy and getting up, Rieka looked at me with worried eyes.
[What do we do now? I have to meet him...]
“Hmm? Oh, that's a squeaker... right. ”
At that moment, I tried to tell her that I had met Takuron without even knowing it. Luckily, I woke up late and blurred my words, and she opened her eyes wide.
Yes?
“It's nothing. But nothing else happened in the meantime? ”
[Ah! Kasha's gone! Lukan asked me to tell you that he's looking for Kaiyan.]
“Lucan? What's going on? ”
I didn't even hear from the town about what I was making for a while, but I wonder what's going on.
Suddenly, I was curious and got up from my seat, hugging Rica.
[Are you going to see Lukan now?]
“I do. There's... nothing to do now. ”
If it wasn't for Pwarrin, I would have told Rica about your conversation with Takuron.
If I had, smart Rika might have come up with a brilliant idea I didn't think of.
‘We have no choice but to deceive her. ’
Leaving the house with Rica again in sadness. Outside, the town was calm, whether everyone was in the basin or the usual commotion.
You take a moment to look around the village and take a step in the direction of the Lukan Forge.
“Did you develop a new artifact? I didn't ask for anything else. ”
[I wish it were a weapon!]
“Weapons... really. I was still thinking about buying some items for the player. ”
I thought that if I came to the master, I wouldn't be drawn to weapons, but I was mistaken.
To fight a strong opponent, you need to be a little more prepared, and one of those preparations is a great weapon that can withstand the power of the user.
In that regard, other than Shaman's weapon, there was nothing special about it.
“Ah! Kaiyan! Kasha went to look for Kaiyan. ”
When I arrived at the Lucan Forge, Zeke, who was sorting the ingredients inside, greeted me. He had a smile on his mouth, though his body looked tired whether he was satisfied with life in the subspace.
“Mr. Zecain, Kasha should be arriving shortly. I got distracted because of work. Is Mr. Lucan in? ”
“Yes! Of course. Let's go into the inner room. ”
“Very well, then. ”
After tapping Zeke's shoulder, you head to the inner room, where you feel the energy of Lucan. As you get closer to the room, you hear the hammering sound coming from behind the door.
Thump! Thump!
Yuck. Yuck.
As you open the door and step inside, Lucan, who has been tapping the hammer for a long time, turns his head.
“Y-you must be the Kaiyan. You didn't send Kasha very far, but you got here fast. ”
“Yes, I'm right here. I heard you were looking for me. What's going on? ”
“Clark, come take a look at this. ”
Lucan gestures at me with a sparkling look in his eyes, hoping for a compliment from a child. Approaching him, you see a long sword lying on the workbench in front of him.
Longsword shines in pure white, and the guard and grip are black and neat. And lastly, in the formmel section.
“Solar stone? Did you ask me to get it for this? ”
A jewel decorated in orange with a sense of heat.
The name of the jewel is sunstone and has only one stone in Garon, so it is more rare than the Neverthal, which is said to be rare in the continent of Unicia.
Two days after the battle with Iones, it was also a jewel he asked me for and barely obtained through Adolf.
“Yes, it was a necessary gem to change the nature of the sword. What do you think?”
“What's that? ”
“The sword. I'm asking you what you think. ”
Lucan's eyes glaze too glamorously, turning to the sword.
In fact, even if it wasn't his request, I liked the shape of the sword so much that I could see for myself. I don't know how such a cool thing can come about with such simplicity.
‘The only flaw in this sword is sunstone. ’
If only you had one problem, it would be a perfect sword.
Solar Stone is a gem with very special properties as it is rare. It is literally a legendary jewel that is said to have the heat of the sun.
The problem is that even if the heat is so hot that it is used for decoration, even if this part of the sword is made into a metal, it cannot withstand it.
It looks fine now, but the entire blade will melt as soon as you use your power.
“Are you worried the sword will melt? ”
“Oh... yes. This sword appears to be too worn for decoration. ”
“Klael, don't worry. Even if you use the power of the sunstone, the sword won't melt. You better hope your hands don't melt. ”
“Yes? That means...”
You pick up the sword you left on the workbench as if it were a natural question for Lucan to ask. You give it back to me.
“A sword made for you. I know you handle the power of fire. Nebital gloves, too. That's why he asked me to make them. Am I right?"
“Yes, that's right. However…”
“Don't worry. That sword you gave me was made of Rumbanium or something. ”
“... The Great Sword? ”
Thanks to your leniency in Garon, I was able to acquire the great sword of Rumbanium.
I gave that sword to Lucan a few days ago, but I can't believe I melted it down in that short amount of time to make a fancy sword like this.
I admire his absurd craftsmanship and carefully examine the sword once more.
‘If I used a Great Sword as an ingredient... I'm sure. ’
Legendary Great Sword meets Legendary Jewel.
The curse on the Great Sword worries me, but right now, it looks so beautiful. This sword should be able to withstand the increased strength of the golden dice.
“Ah! Don't worry about the curse on the sword. The sunstone has completely changed the nature of the curse. ”
“... I'm so lucky to have met Lucan. Thank you very much. We'll put it to good use. ”
“Tsk, tsk. Weapons are weapons. If you want to protect yourself, even if your sword is broken, don't be afraid. ”
I could feel the sincerity in his eyes whining and grumbling. He worries about me.
He must have seen the big fight a few days ago. You make a sword like this and you worry about it.
“Huge. Now, this is a blacksmith. You should go now. ”
“Yes, I'll see you later. ”
[Thank you, Grandpa Lucan!]
You step outside the forge with the sword in the sword handed to you by Lucan.
I walked through the forest to get back home, paused, and stared at the sky dazed.
‘There are too many people to protect. So... we must never lose. ’
I have avenged the people of Vernov, but I must finish it for the good of Unicia and for the precious.
A prophesied war, a curse deeply occupied in Unicia.
[Mr. Kaiyan?]
“I don't have time for this. ”
Yes?
I was motivated to grab the Sword Sack with my right hand.
I feel like the sword in my hand is screaming at me. Use yourself now. I'll show you how much of a sword I have for myself.
Shhh.
You pull out your sword without denying the sound of its scream.
“I'll have to go back to my half-abandoned sword training. From now on, there will be no rest until we get word to Isabelle! ”
[Ahhhh!! I want to go home! Call the wind!]
You swing your sword into the air, listening to Rika's screams. There's no way we can break through to get to higher altitudes where we gave up half.
* * *
“Phew... Phew...”
How long has it been since he wielded his sword without a moment's rest?
I was fascinated by the sword that fell once, so I forgot about half the time and swung it like crazy. Thanks to that, I was able to handle the power of the sunstone freely.
Bloop!
“No. We need to concentrate the error more than we just did. ”
When I draw my sword into the air, the hot heat mixed with the error leaves a remnant in the air.
After a few days, perhaps dozens of days, I was able to resonate with the power of fire in the sun stone and in the heart.
Of course, I can't say this is a practical growth in swordsmanship, but it was clear that it had become stronger.
Hmmm! Mr. Kaiyan, we have a transmission from Jakal.]
“Phew... Jakal? ”
[Ugh! I'm furry!! Take it!]
When I was swinging the sword for a long time, Rica, who was far away, rolled the communication shaft towards me.
You hear Jakal's voice from a faint burst of light as you pick up the cell phone rolling down the floor.
Kaiyan! I finally got word from Isabelle!
Jakal and Santro have left the opening at the basin open for communication and sent him out for a moment. He asked me to let him know when Isabelle heard from him.
“Really? Let's meet and talk first. Where are you now?”
Right in front of the entrance! Where can I go?
“Wait. I'll send the wind. Wind! Go to the center of the basin and bring me Jakal. ”
“Bite!”
After sending the breeze through the middle of the basin, I looked at the sword still holding in my right hand.
“I wish I had more time... I can't help it. ”
I stroked the sword once and put it in the sword.
After watching from afar, Rieka ran to me with a smile as the heat disappeared around her.
[Is it finally over? You see this?]
“So go home first. ”
[Then who's going to tell me about the comms? If it wasn't for me, I wouldn't have gotten the call right away!]
I admit that part. Even if I had a communication device, it was likely that I would not have received it because of the sword. It feels funny to swing the sword so strangely.
If it had been like this long ago, I would have gone higher already.
[But what was Isabelle communicating about? I've been busy for a while and I haven't heard from him.]
“It's probably about the Great War. You'll find out if you ask Jacquard. ”
As you look up at the sky, the wind is approaching at a rapid pace with the jacquard on your back.
Jakal reflects on his face how many times he can't adapt to the wind. Shortly after the wind arrives, the jacquard descends to the ground in a frenzy.
“Huff...! Ka, Kaiyan! Please let me run on my feet! Oh, or I'd rather go ahead with Santro...”
Meanwhile, I saw a smile on my mouth as I was selling Santro.
“Okay, okay. But what was Isabelle communicating about? ”
“Ah! I see... Isabelle asked me to tell you that the Great War has begun. ”
“Really? The Great War is starting... What? Say that again. ”
“Hiccup! Ka, Kaiyan...”
A sudden burst of energy makes Jakal tremble. As he recovers his strength in haste, he kneels on the ground.
Approaching Jakal and tapping his shoulder, he takes a deep breath and opens his mouth to see if he's feeling better.
“The Great War has begun...”
“The Great War... is finally here. Then why didn't you tell me this before? Did Isabelle know about it too late? ”
[Ugh... Was this how it started all of a sudden? Without time to prepare...]
I knew the war wasn't far, but I didn't expect it to start so suddenly.
I felt dizzy on one side of my head because of the impact. I hold my head in my hands and look at Jakal.
“Other than that? ”
“Oh, you said you wanted me to come to your secret mansion tonight! ”
“Phew... Do I have to meet Garon? Yeah, well done. Now get back to town. ”
“Yes, yes! I'll tell Santro to go back to town, too! ”
You quickly get up from your seat and take a moment to look back at Rieka.
“This is more shocking than I thought. ”
[But you predicted it. You're all set!]
“It's different from what I expected. Then how will it go? Now I have to start planning...”
If you're ready, just like Riika said, you're in good hands.
Not me, but Lady Pwarrin, who has been begging me to recover.
“It's time to meet Pwarrin again. ”
And the goddess was waking up in her sleep with the words that the Great War had begun.
