"Didn't you know about this? It's no wonder, though, there's no one to teach you. You're forced to learn everything yourself and put it to the test." Forgotten muttered.
"Why does the second evolution only take a few days? My first evolution took months."
"That's normal. There's nothing strange or unusual about that. The first evolution is always the longest as your body rebuilds and prepares for future changes. Also, before the first evolution, you are in your weakest form, so nothing is surprising about that. In addition, the conditions for evolution greatly shorten the process."
"Ah, so that's it, then I actually have to hurry." Wain muttered and smiled contentedly. Now he could finally step forward. He felt it was very important.
"Of course, don't worry, while you're busy, I'll protect this town and island. Your mates will be safe. I feel no stronger auras from the dark lands than Second Chronicle. There is no one among them equal to me." Forgotten said confidently, looking into the distance.
Wain nodded, "But, first, we must see if our blacksmith is well."
"Blacksmith?"
Wain headed toward the building in front of which Lea was already standing. She had changed slightly since her second evolution. She was slightly taller, her hair was fuller and longer, and there was a barely visible pattern in her eyes.
"First time I've ever seen you lose." Lea smirked.
She got out of the building in the middle of the battle and watched intently as Wain fought. Lea started to get worried when all of Wain's attacks went to waste, and the tiger constantly dominated the battlefield, but the appearance of Forgotten changed everything.
"Not funny. Well, how does it feel? Do you sense like you've gotten stronger?"
"I do. It's unbelievable. Do you want to check it out for yourself?"
Wain didn't answer anything, but put his palm forward.
Lea smiled and, with all her might, struck her fist. A powerful wave of vibration went through Wain's body in contact, and he felt he couldn't stand on his feet.
He flew back a few meters and, after a somersault, got back on his feet.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt"Damn, fighting skills are definitely not your specialty, but that kind of speed and strength..." Wain was surprised. He didn't expect Lea, a person with a crat soul possess such power.
If she had more experience and strong fighting skills, she could have fought Wain on equal terms or even defeated him.
Wain's palm hurt as if someone had hit it with a hammer.
"Yeah, but that's not all. That tiger sure has sharp fangs, bring me one, and I'll show you something new." Lea said confidently.
Wain smirked and headed for the tiger. He struggled to pry out a massive fang that was as tall as a man and brought it to Lea.
Forgotten watched it with interest, "Girl, don't you need help?"
Lea looked at him puzzled, but realizing that Forgotten was with Wain, she shook her head, "No, I can handle it myself."
Her eyes flashed, and a white energy hammer and a strand of silver threads appeared in her hands.
It was one of her enhanced skills, but not the main one with which she had previously forged masterpieces and other objects. It was something of a simplified and accelerated version.
She began hammering the fang, and the threads helped her create weapons. The whole process took a little time, only a few minutes.
Eventually, less than a third of the massive fang was left, but it was now a deadly weapon, a spear.
The spear had a long tip, making it look like a halberd. It had a comfortable handle and a reinforced back.
Clap. Clap. Clap.
Forgotten clapped his hands slowly.
"Not bad." Wain muttered, "But, neither I nor Forgotten use a spear, who's that for?"
"Ah, I hadn't thought of that. I just decided I wanted to make a one-piece spear out of a fang, and it seemed to work pretty well. I don't even want to look at the description." Lea said. Her skills got stronger, but she was sure that the description would say that she made garbage even now.
Wain touched the spear and looked at the description.
[Spear from the Fang of the Azure Tiger (Second Chronicle, Epic Rating)
A spear created from the fang of a dangerous and formidable beast by a blacksmith who has finally learned something. Of course, the blacksmith still has a lot to learn, but she can now create something a little better than garbage.

"Lea, I think you should look at the description. It looks like you've finally taken a step forward. I need to get on it too, so I'm off. Forgotten, keep an eye on her and bring her to Merge Island."
"Of course." Forgotten said quietly.
Wain nodded and headed for the island. He needed a quiet place to do the second evolution.
...
He stopped midway and muttered, "Damn, what am I thinking? I've got a safe place where not even God can get me!"
Wain had forgotten that he had his Void. During the ordeal on the island, all spatial rifts were blocked.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmWhen the worlds connected, the barrier around Merge Island disappeared, and the spatial rifts became accessible again.
Wain concentrated and entered a spatial rift a few meters away. He entered the gateway and found Elegan on the map.
"Wain, it's been a long time since I've seen you!" Mimic exclaimed and ran up to him.
"Hi, I need a quiet place to evolve. Take care of it."
"Sure, but we have one problem that only you can solve, at least that's what I've been told."
"Hmm? What happened?"
"Edena, she suddenly got sick. She said it would worsen over time, but it wouldn't become fatal. Lui Bu confirmed what she said." Elegan said anxiously.
Wain nodded and headed toward the cave behind the waterfall. Elegan ran along with him.
...
Edena and Lui Bu were in the alchemy lab as usual. They enjoyed exploring new combinations and testing their theories and recipes. It was their job and their calling.
"Wain!" Lui Bu exclaimed.
"What's wrong with her?"
Edena was lying on the bed, struggling to breathe. Her face was as pale as a sheet of paper, and she could hardly move.
"Exhaustion, but unusual, and due to low blood purity." Lui Bu said seriously.
"What does that mean?"
"Edena has a very low blood purity, and if she overexerts herself, her body can't take it, and for a few days, this happens. She'll be much better tomorrow or the day after, but it could happen again."
"Elegan said only I can solve this problem. How?" Wain asked.
Edena held out her hand and said quietly, "The vial, please give me the vial."
