Chapter 82: The Sword Named Asawakh

Leo put on his protective gear, then picked up the bow and arrow, gently pulling the bowstring, feeling a strong force.

He nocked the arrow on the bow and aimed at the sky from the gap above the cave.

Suddenly, the bow and arrow emitted a pulling force that absorbed the magic power within him.

After enhancing his body, there was very little magic power left inside him, and Leo immediately released the bowstring. The sharp arrow shot out like a laser, piercing through the clouds and disappearing into the horizon, scattering the surrounding clouds and clearing the sky.

In the next moment, the arrow that had vanished at the edge of the sky appeared in his hand.

So powerful! I no longer have to worry about arrows in the future.

“Alright, there’s just this sword left.”

Jekes looked at a slender sword embedded in the magma pool. The sword body had turned bright red due to the heat, faintly radiating a sharp aura, presenting an eerie beauty.

The shape of the sword matched the blueprint provided by Leo, with a length of 1.2 meters and a handle only one-third the length of the blade. It was embedded in the ground, reaching about Leo’s chest height, perfectly sized.

“Actually, the sword has already been forged. Although it has reached the strength and power of a sub-legendary weapon, it still feels like it lacks a bit of spirit, which creates a gap between it and sub-legendary weapons.”

Master Jekes looked troubled; he had been frowning for days, thinking about how to solve this problem.

It was just one last step, and he didn’t want to give up here.

“Does it need powerful enchantments?”

Michelle, who was unfamiliar with forging, asked.

“No, legendary weapons have their own consciousness, while sub-legendary weapons are close but only have a trace of spirit. When the spirit expands, it will also have consciousness; that’s the difference between the two.”

“I understand.”

With just one glance, Leo was captivated by this sword; it was exactly like the sword he had envisioned, simply a dream sword.

Leo stepped forward to the side of the magma pool, grabbing the hilt with his bare hands. The red-hot hilt released a torrent of heat, and the air seemed to tremble. Seeing Leo grab it directly, Jekes’ eyelids twitched.

“Leo!” Michelle called out worriedly.

As expected, Leo’s palm was burned bright red, but his eyes were exceptionally excited.

The sword intent within him was completely released, flooding into the sword body.

Buzz!

The sword body emitted a burst of light, releasing a tremendous power, filled with a sharp aura, filling the cave.

The sword intent surged wildly, leaving sharp sword marks on the ground and walls.

Finally, after completely devouring all the sword intent from Leo, the sword body came to a standstill.

“Success!”

Jekes stared intently, his eyes shining with excitement.

Suddenly, a force sprang from the sword body, bouncing Leo away, and then it flew into the air, hovering.

“Quick, use lightning magic for the final tempering.”

Master Jekes also knew lightning magic, but Michelle’s power was the strongest, so it was best for her to use it.

Michelle quickly responded, summoning a thick bolt of heavenly thunder, striking the sword body for tempering.

“Really, you don’t take care of yourself at all.”

Then, Michelle took Leo’s hand, gently blowing on the burn, and used healing magic to treat the wound, leaving no trace.

Leo quietly waited for the sword tempering to complete.

This continued for nearly half an hour, and when the lightning disappeared, the sword flew down and embedded itself in the ground in front of Leo.

“This is your sword; give it a name.” Master Jekes said.

“Sword name: Asawakh!”

As Leo spoke, the sword body trembled, releasing a burst of light.

Indeed, it was a sword with spirit.

Leo grasped the hilt; this sword felt perfectly matched to him, as if it had been specially crafted for him, a sword tempered by his own sword intent.

“This sword also comes with two skills, which can be checked with status magic.”

Jekes proudly introduced his masterpiece.

Leo opened the sword’s status, and lines of information appeared before him.

[Sword Name]: Asawakh

[Rank]: Sub-Legendary

[Attack]: S-

[Strength]: S-

[Skills]:

Sword Shadow Clone: 1. The sword bearer can create ten clones, each capable of unleashing half the power of the original in a single attack, disappearing after one strike. Only after all ten clones have vanished can new illusions be summoned;

2. The sword shadow clones will appear in the line of sight, and the sword bearer can teleport to the location of the clones at any time, swapping places with them.

Sword Barrier: Consumes the sword bearer’s magic power to create a defensive shield in front of them, capable of defending against magic and physical attacks, with defense power depending on the sword bearer’s magic power.

With attack, defense, and mobility all covered, it compensates for Leo’s shortcomings in mobility and defense, allowing for more freedom in battle.

Moreover, the sword shadow clone skill perfectly complements his sword heart clarity.

His sword heart clarity now allows him to see clearly up to one kilometer away; beyond that, it becomes blurry. This means he can teleport anywhere within one kilometer at any time, equivalent to a small-scale teleportation magic.

In battle, it can catch opponents off guard.

So awesome!

With this sword, Leo’s strength has risen to a new class. If he were to fight the S-class mage Demon Face again, he could resolve the battle in an instant; this is the power of good equipment.

“Give it to me.”

Before Leo could warm up the sword, it was snatched away by Michelle.

“Saintess, that’s mine.”

Leo clenched his empty hand, feeling a sense of emptiness in his heart.

“I know.”

Michelle enchanted the sword, a small magic circle appearing in her palm, the sword body floating in mid-air, trembling lightly as if it were happy.

With Michelle’s actions, the sharpness and strength of the sword greatly increased, rising from S- to S.

“I added a skill called Magic Blade to this sword, which can store magic power and absorb the flowing magic power in nature to replenish the user’s consumption.”

Michelle handed the enchanted sword back to him.

“Thanks.”

Leo could sense that the sword had subtly strengthened a few more degrees.

“Go outside and try the sword.”

Stepping outside, Leo held the sword with both hands, and his aura suddenly changed, radiating a sharp energy.

The magic power of the sword transmitted, and a flash of white light appeared, shooting out a crescent-shaped sword energy that shone in the sky.

Boom!

A large mountain ahead was sliced in half, the massive mountain body sliding down and collapsing along the cut, large rocks falling, and dust filling the air.

“Good sword!”

After so long, he finally had a sword that could accompany him for a long time.

“And there are unexpected skills too.” Michelle revealed a mysterious smile.

Leo looked and indeed found another skill.

Heavenly Thunder and Earth Fire: An ultra-large attack magic sword technique that summons heavenly thunder and earth fire, causing apocalyptic disasters.

A simple and brutal introduction.

Michelle added, “This skill can be activated using the surrounding magic power of heaven and earth, but the activation speed is very slow. It can also be activated using the user’s magic power, which is fast but consumes a lot. If the magic power is insufficient, it may fail, and the power will be greatly reduced.”

Leo immediately tried this skill.

A massive pulling force emanated from the sword body, draining the surrounding magic power from heaven and earth, gathering into a small vortex, making the surroundings seem to dim a bit.

At the same time, the sky rumbled with thunder, lightning flashing, and the ground’s magma rolling, with scorching rock columns erupting one after another.

This was a purgatory of thunder and fire, compensating for Leo’s lack of large-scale attack capability.
