Chapter 614 Exile Blade
After emerging from the Queen of Air and Darkness's castle, Ren and Isolde found themselves reunited with Elena and Prince Zeroth at the entrance.
The Prince was busy showering affection on Elaine, while Elena rushed to Ren upon seeing him.
"What took you so long?" Elena asked, concern evident in her voice. "I was so worried about you that I almost stormed into Frostforge Mine to look for you."
Ren gently pulled himself from Elena's grasp, aware of Isolde's amused gaze behind him. He turned to face the others and asked, "Did you get the metals?"
"Of course," Prince Zeroth replied, displaying the adamantite in his hand. "I've been waiting here for you to get back. What took you so long?"
"I've got the Silver, too," Elena added with a smile.
Ren hesitated for a moment before responding, "We encountered some trouble on the way."
Elena asked if the trouble they encountered were Queen Titania's soldiers, to which Isolde confirmed they were and that they had already dealt with them, thanks to Pii's help.
"Seems like Queen Titania is after our lives now," Prince Zeroth remarked.
Isolde rolled her eyes and sarcastically commented, "Aren't they all?"

Elaine explained, "Only the Queen herself is capable of making the blade. No other being could forge a queen slayer than themselves."
Elena was eager to proceed and said, "Then what are we waiting for? Let's go and get this done and over with."
Isolde whispered her concerns to Ren, questioning if they should give the blade to the Queen, but he reasoned that there were no other options yet, so they should follow the storyline for now.
Suddenly, they found themselves transported back into the throne room, where the Queen expressed her satisfaction with their accomplishment.
"Good job, adventurers," the Queen of Air and Darkness praised them. "Now, with this, our preparation is complete. It's time to forge the weapon that would kill Titania!"
Queen Aurora was silent at the side, brooding over something while Queen Russet's face told them she couldn't care less.
Elaine's face was still a mask, while Elena and Prince Zeroth weren't aware of anything at all.
The Queen of Air and Darkness stood before a massive, ancient forge, its flames dancing and roaring with otherworldly intensity. The materials — silver, cold iron, and adamantite —floated in the air, suspended by the Queen's magic. She raised her hands, and the metals began to meld and merge, intertwining like a dance of molten light.

It was indeed an exceptional blade, one that Ren thought a rogue might be able to make use of –– especially that +1000 additional damage upon every successful hit.
In the hands of a sword wielder that had the skill related to multiple-blade attacks, it was an OP weapon to have.
Too bad that he couldn't equip it, and he had no assassin or rogue in World Conqueror to make use of it, so he guessed that he would have to Auction it.
It was his plan all along, anyway.
"Alas, I cannot use this blade. The mere thought of touching it will burn my hand," the Queen said while the blade hovered over her hands. "So this blade will go to one of my generals."
While the Queen was distracted, Elaine shouted the signal, "Ren now!"
For a brief moment, time had stopped, and even the Queen couldn't escape from Elaine's magic [Temporal Stasis].
