God's Eyes

Chapter 906 - Month of the Forger

[I truly appreciate the Super Gift I received. Thank you very much @KingRig! This Bonus chapter is for you~]

Forging for an entire month was certainly not easy.

However, with Solaris' tremendous help, everything became much easier than initially expected.

While Solaris perfectly purified tanadan ores for two weeks straight and turned them into a mass of metal clumps, Jason was responsible for the shaping and rune inscribing process.

During the first two days, he was still feeling a little bit rusty and was even a bit clumsy, but afterward, everything went much smoother than expected.

This allowed Jason to possibly forge faster, or even be more precise than he already was.

The latter was what Jason did because forging a single weapon in two hours was certainly a notable feat.

As such, he changed his perspective a little bit to focus on creating weapons with great aesthetics.This chapter is updated by novelenglish.net . fire(.)nᴇt

Sometimes, it was important not to look at a weapon as a mere tool to kill.

Rather, a weapon could also be considered a piece of art, which was something Jason had to understand thoroughly.

Thus, he not only had to focus on the weapon's sharpness and durability but pay attention to its overall look and allow the customer to show off the aesthetics of his weapon.

With that in mind, Jason had spent one week forging weapons with the tanadan ingots he created, only to get wind of the first sales the blacksmith seemed to have made.

Jason knew that his reputation would rise slowly afterward, which suited perfectly in the schedule he had created for himself.

Using the cultivation stones he received as payment in order to purchase other ores, Solaris began to perfectly purify them after the second week.

Having created enough tanadan metal clumps to serve as the raw material for thousands of weapons, Solaris finished its job with the tanadan ore.

Yet, instead of resting, it was eager to continue, which motivated Jason to work even harder too.

He had only planned to forge for a single month, and it was important to procure as many cultivation resources as possible.

This was, by far, the most important, apart from the fact that he wanted to stay alive, which was only obvious.

While being focussed on forging, Jason didn't really hear anything about the Soul Monarch, or was there any fresh news about his guards.

He felt that this was both reassuring and also a little bit scary as the fear of the unknown was quite frightening.

Unfortunately, there was nothing Jason could do against it.

Instead of worrying too much about the possible attack, he knew that becoming stronger as quickly as possible was the only thing he could do.

Thus, the pressure weighing on him increased only further.

By efficiently channelizing the pressure, Jason's proficiency in handling how to forge wonderful weapons that were comparable to pieces of art increased further.

As such, he didn't even notice that the reputation of his Mythical weapons was skyrocketing.

It was increasing exponentially as hundreds of youths, alongwith the Elite of Liun, began to flood the shop.

Everyone had been searching for great weapons, but most blacksmiths focused on gaining more profit by forging weapons at the highest possible grade they could.

This was understandable, but at the same time, disappointing for most youths who had the necessary fortune, but not the connections to convince any blacksmith to forge them a powerful weapon.

However, this was not the case with Jason as he allowed the assistant of the blacksmith store to accept customization requests regarding the forged weapons.

The only requirement was to receive a higher fee, the exact details of the weapons one wanted, and no complaints.

Doing everything as requested by the customers, Jason was soon flooded with requests.

As such, they began to increase the price of his weapons within no time.

The majority of youths wanted a customized weapon that was perfectly suited for their cultivation base, the affinity seed they shared with the wandering soul they bound, and their specific traits.

Creating such a weapon was certainly not easy, and if Jason could do so, he would just create soul weapons for everyone because it would make things much easier.

In fact, Jason was sure of the fact that nobody in Liun knew about soul weapons.

It might be the case because the Yinar race could only bind one wandering soul to their soul.

This was the normal case, and if Jason were to try creating a new connection between a Yinar's soul, and a weapon, problems might occur.

However, what confused Jason was the fact that even Agran requested customized weapons, instead of asking for a soul weapon.

Even if he didn't unveil his secret identity of hailing from Argos, Jason felt that this was a little bit weird.

'Maybe most of the Agran in Liun left Argos before soul weapons were invented?'

This thought of his was the only plausible reason Jason could think of, because humans from Argos would certainly try to forge soul weapons in order to own a weapon that was like the extension of their body!

Yet, it was just a moment later that he recalled something.

'Oh…I forgot that soul weapons occupy the space for at least one, more likely several soulbonds to be bound to the soul world!'

In the end, Byakur was occupying the soul space that would otherwise house at least ten soulbonds.

One could say that he was quite a lot, which was definitely true, but for Jason, this was just a drop in the ocean.

If he wanted to, it wouldn't even be weird to bind several thousand soulbonds.

The only restrictions he would face was his comparatively weak vessel that couldn't take the amplification of so many soulbonds, and the fact that his soul energy was a limiting factor too.

As such, not asking for soul weapons was quite normal, and he was one of the few individuals one could call an anomaly.

There were probably more like him, with a huge soul world, but they would rather bind more soulbonds than to allow their soul world's space to be occupied by an inanimate weapon.

This made sense to Jason, and he could only smile wryly, thinking that the situation inside the Ninad beast realm was quite interesting.

While religiously forging for an entire month, Jason had simultaneously mass-produced multiple inscription solutions.

It would be a waste of time to forge a weapon only to halt in the process just to concoct a new inscription solution.

Fortunately, his old master had taught him how mass-producing potions was possible, and by reading quite a lot, Jason was able to put the theory to practical use.

It was exactly this that had allowed him to improve his inscribing skills as well.

After all, he hadn't inscribed runes for years before he started forging once again right now.

As such, he was not supposed to be that great with inscribing proper inscriptions from the get-go.

Luckily, that was not the case.

Jason was rather skilled with his inscriptions, and all of this was owing to his Emperor Eyes, and his great observation skills with which he studied all kinds of runes.

In the end, there were countless runes popping up in his mind, but so far he had never found any reason to inscribe them, even if he was capable of doing so.

Now that he returned to forging, this had changed, to a certain extent.

Unfortunately, it was still not satisfying, even if it was quite intriguing to forge and inscribe weapons.

Inventing new things was much more interesting, and the same could be applied to different things such as fighting powerful opponents or learning more things about the mysteries of the universe.

However, all of this was something only after having a certain amount of strength, and by the looks of it, strength was also required to overcome the small-scale attack that seemed to be happening to Liun, just as he finished his one month of forging!

Yet, instead of the Soul Monarch and all of his guards, the attack came from a completely different source than expected.

After all, there was only one human-like wandering soul attacked, which was a guard.

However, this one guard was already at the Peak of the Specta stage, and much more powerful than anyone expected!
