I Just want a Peaceful life

As the chain moved at a fast speed, the pressure on Balrug and Horton increased. If it is not because Angus deliberately targets their warhammer, the two dwarves may already be riddled with countless injuries.

This kind of show surprised all the dwarf elders. Now, they know Angus not only needs to be proficient at using Skythorn but also to completely master the weapon. From their experience, a long-range weapon like a chain is one of the hardest to control.

A mistake or imbalance in the weapon could lead to fatal movement. Yet, Angus manages to control it perfectly. Furthermore, they could see Angus didn't just use mana to control the chain but also his own weapon skill.

"Such a perfect control… It seems the rumor of him being a weapon master is true." commented one of the dwarf elders.

"Yes… However, if it is only this, it is not enough for us to see. At most, it is just a good unique weapon." commented another dwarf elder.

Hearing this, the other dwarves also nodded and agreed with this statement. Angus also hears this and gives another smile. Suddenly, Angus rotates Skythorn at a fast speed and forces the chained blade coiling around together.

Then, Angus gripped the vine body and swung it in Balrug and Horton's direction [Skythorn - Giant Slam]. *BAAM* The two dwarves instantly felt like getting hit by a giant and forced back a few meters away from this sudden attack.

Fortunately, Angus also controls the force. Otherwise, he may send the two dwarves a few hundred meters away. Seeing this last attack, some dwarf elders raise their eyebrows in surprise while others look at Skythorn solemnly.

None of the elders spoke anything and they fell into deep thought. During this time, Balrug really wants to beat the shit out of Angus for making them a testing target.

"Brat, get over here. Let me smack you into a pile of crap!!" roared Balrug.

"Oh, come on, crazy old dwarf. I just follow your lead, right?" said Angus while smirking.

After arguing momentarily, they return to the ground and find every dwarf elder still in deep thought.

"Err… Elders?" asked Balrug in confusion.

"Balrug, my boy. Did you know what you just did?" asked Elder Forgus.

Both Balrug and Forgus come from the same dwarf clan. Hence, Forgus knows more about Balrug.

"Well, I made a good weapon." replied Balrug.

"Yes. But, not just a good weapon. You almost create a sentient weapon." said Forgus.

"Sentient weapon?!! Brat, is that true?" asked Balrug in disbelief.

All the master craftsmen know that the sentient item is the stage before the preliminary stage of the artifact. However, there is no exact way to create sentient items.

Some said you need to pour a living soul on it. Others just said the item needs to be used countless times before turning into a sentient weapon. Some said it could only be made by a world-class crafter like Draught in Porros City.

No matter the way, it is also certain that creating sentient weapons is as hard as touching a star in the sky. It is hard and impossible for most people but also possible for a particular individual.

"Yes, Elder Forgus is right. I was surprised the first time I handled Skythorn. Though it is very faint, I could definitely feel it. It is like a tiny little embryo." said Angus.

"T-That's… amazing." said Balrug as he completely lost words.

"Balrug, I believe you know what this means. I hope you don't get too conceited of yourself. Also, we would like to know more about this Skythorn weapon. If you feel you don't want to share it, we will respect that." said other dwarf elders.

"Ahh.. No. That's not it. I could share all the methods with you. Besides, it is not something new and most of you know about it." said Balrug.

"Hmm??" reacted everyone.

"I just use the Fire Hammering technique to improve it." said Balrug.

"Fire Hammering technique?! Isn't that the most common of our dwarf hammering smithing technique." said one of the dwarf elders.

"Yes, elder Grimruk. I used the Fire Hammering technique while in a trance. I am not sure how many times I smite it, but since I almost died if not for this brat, it should be a lot of times." explained Balrug.

Hearing this, all the dwarf elders could only shake their heads. Since ancient times, the dwarf race has continuously researched the proper method to create sentient weapons. However, their only answer is always too vague.

Unless it is made by World Smith, there is no guarantee someone could always create weapon sentients. In the end, they conclude that sentient weapons could only be made if someone poured their heart and soul into it while entering a transcendence state.

Then, the dwarf elders and Balrug continue to discuss Skythorn. To everyone's surprise, they didn't even prevent others from eavesdropping and talking about it openly. Still, Angus knows this is entirely normal for dwarf races.

Unlike other races and major forces who always withhold essential information, the Dwarf race likes to share their understanding of craftsmanship with others. They didn't even mind sharing their secret smithing technique with outsiders.

It is not that they are not afraid of others stealing it. It is because they know only the qualified ones capable of using their technique. Most dwarf smith techniques have tasking requirements.

Despite their stubbornness, the Dwarf is also a warrior race that respects the one with capability. If someone could use their technique, it means they are already worthy of using all the dwarf techniques.

While Balrug and the dwarf elder discuss Skythorn, Anna suddenly approaches Angus.

"Angus, it's so cool. Angus is Pheew then Bam Bam." praised Anna excitedly.

Seeing this, Angus could only frown.

"Alright.. Alright… I get it. What did you want this time?" asked Angus.

He knows this naughty girl will only praise him if she tries to ask something ridiculous. Angus still remembers Anna asking for a giant golem to play with when she acts like this.

"Ehh… Who wants something? Anna doesn't want anything." said Anna while trying to look away.

However, Anna also occasionally glances at Skythorn while pretending not to look at it. Noticing this, Angus could only sigh and didn't know to answer. Skythorn is indeed turned into a sentient weapon.

Still, it barely entered the stage. With one bad mistake in handling, it may turn back into ordinary weapons or become a bunch of scraps. Angus also knows that Anna is very rough when handling weapons.

Hence, Anna is the worst person when developing sentient weapons and turning them into artifacts. Yet, Angus couldn't bluntly say no to little Anna, especially when she didn't try to ask for it directly.

As the weapon master, he knows Skythorn is very hard to master. It takes at least a few years for others to be able to properly use it.

As for mastering it to Angus level, it will take at least a dozen years of practice. Therefore, Angus is in a dilemma of following his logic or feeling.

Just when Angus didn't know whether to give Skythorn or not, "Angus, just give it to Anna." said Jayna from the side.

"Hmm?" asked Angus in confusion.

After staring at each other, Angus nodded solemnly before releasing a deep sigh.

"Alright, you could have…" said Angus.

Before Angus finishes his sentence, Anna already snatches Skythorn from his hand.

"Yay!! Yay!! Anna got a new weapon!! Whiii..." said Anna while swinging the Skythorn around.

Angus could only shake his head at her reaction. Still, he didn't need to worry about Anna getting hurt by Skythorn's thorny spike as it couldn't hurt Anna's small hands. He notices Anna gripping the intricate spike part like it is nothing while playing with Skythorn.

However, he also feels that giving Anna Skythorn is a good idea. He saw that Anna was just playing around with it rather than using it as a real weapon. It is better to give her a stick than a unique weapon like Skythorn.

Still, he didn't plan to take back Skythorn from Anna. According to Jayna, Anna has always liked Skythorn since she found Angus using it at the Endless Battlefield. Moreover, Jayna's phoenix instinct tells her that Skythorn is the perfect weapon for little Anna.

Every legendary beast has their own unique instinct. Mundus, they have a sharp instinct when it relates to space. However, the phoenix instinct is a little bit different. It is not just a danger sense or related to fire. It is also related to the creation and matching of things.

With the help of this instinct, Jayna knows which person, elementals, things, or items match someone. She knows which things give the best synergy. Using this kind of instinct, she also helped Angus create Absolute Red.

Until now, Angus and Jayna themself have not entirely understood this kind of instinct. However, when this instinct happens, it will always be correct. Unfortunately, since they do not know the full extent of this instinct, Jayna couldn't train it using Angus' special training.

"So, this is the weapon master disciple we heard about." said one of the dwarf elders as they finished their discussion about Skythorn.
