Nameless King

Nicole decided what weapon she wanted, so now it was time to prepare to make a scythe. Ceozi had a huge smithy, so she had no shortage of different materials since she had almost everything.

"Agh... Damn, I can't make up my mind..." Ceozi muttered with complicated looks. The most valuable materials were in her ring, there were plenty of them, but Ceozi was puzzled since she needed to make a battle scythe.

"Hm? Don't you have the right materials?" Nicole asked with a worried expression.

"Nah, the problem is different." Ceozi shook her head, "A lot depends on the materials. You're an active and eccentric fighter, so your weapons should be light and sharp, but... given the weapons you've chosen, there could be serious problems because of that..."

Nicole looked at Wain, trying to ask him what Ceozi was talking about, but Wain just shook his head with a calm expression.

"Ceozi... Explain exactly what you mean?" Wain shook his hand.

"Agh, look if the weapon is light it gives you mobility, but it also lowers the maximum pressure the weapon can withstand. If this one was a sword or a spear, then there wouldn't be a problem... but a scythe has a very unstable design compared to other types of weapons." Ceozi said with a serious look.

"Does that mean that a scythe is a bad option? Maybe we should make it heavier?" Wain suggested.

"Nicole's strength is in speed, so if her weapon holds her back, it will be a real failure. I can't let that happen." Ceozi's eyes grew colder, "I don't have the right material... I need something both light and very durable, as well as high energy at least on the Absolute Stage."

Nicole lowered her head as her gaze grew darker. Her sadness could almost be felt or seen, like a dark cloud thickening over her.

'Damn... I have to do something urgently. Light but hard material... I don't know why but the first thing I thought of was bones...' Wain inwardly muttered as his eyes went wide, 'Wait, what if I did this? I probably wouldn't have even thought of it before, but it's quite possible now, right?'

"Hey, I think I have an idea." Wain grinned.

"Are you serious?" Ceozi looked up.

"Yeah... I know one material that would be perfect for making a deadly scythe. It's bone." Wain said confidently as he crossed his arms over his chest.

"A bone...?" Ceozi tilted her head in confusion as well as Nicole, "Hmm... Bones can actually be durable and light, but there's pretty little energy left in them after the creature dies, so we need someone on God Stage if we want to make a Demigod Stage weapon."

"Maybe I should go hunting?" Nicole asked with a curious look, "If I try I can definitely find someone strong! I may only be on the Demigod Stage, but I can defeat a monster on the God Stage! I'm sure of it!"

Ceozi was puzzled since she didn't know how to react. If they had a God Stage monster bone, she could make a decent weapon, but it was too risky.

"No, that's out of the question." Wain shook his head as he placed his palm on Nicole's head, "You will most likely die if you rush into battle against such an opponent."

"But... This is our only chance!" Nicole exclaimed as she flailed her arms.

"Hahaha, you're both too inattentive." Wain grinned, looked away, and said, "There are quite a few God Stage bones right here, one very powerful and ancient creature.

"Hmm?" Nicole tilted her head in confusion, however, Ceozi realized what Wain was talking about as her face turned pale.

"No way... You want to take the bone from the dragon's spine?" Ceozi looked at Wain in disbelief as a shiver ran through her body.

"Sure. the bone, of the Dragon who was at the limit of the God Stage. Perhaps it is one of the rarest and finest materials of this world." Wain smirked as his eyes narrowed.

"What...? You mean there was such valuable material around you all the time that you could use it?" Nicole frowned, "Then why didn't you say so right away!"

Ceozi shuddered, "Wait... I hadn't even thought about it. Dragon Bone can be used as material, but do you think I'm suicidal?!"

"Wain... What is she talking about?" Nicole stared at Wain with a questioning expression.

"Well, her excitement makes sense. The point is that Dragons are very reverent about those who have died since it is a real tragedy for every Dragon. They can live for thousands of years and have incredible power, so if one of them died, then something terrible happened." Wain said seriously with a slight sigh, "Ceozi knows this as well as she knows that if she tries to desecrate this Dragon's grave, the wrath of many Dragons will fall upon her."

"Ouch... Now I understand..." Nicole nodded with a shocked expression, "So... so this option is not available to us either?"

Ceozi was silent, she didn't know what to answer as she didn't want this scythe to be the last weapon she would make. Against the Dragons, she didn't stand a chance.

"Hah, of course not." Wain smirked, "It might actually be suicide for Ceozi, but she won't have to take part in it."

"What do you mean?" Ceozi muttered.

"You don't have to pick up the bone yourself, we'll do it for you. Your job will be to turn this bone into a real masterpiece, the best scythe you can create." Wain said as a sly smirk appeared on his face. novelenglish.net . fire(.)nᴇt

Ceozi gulped as she nodded, "Fine, if you're really willing to do something that crazy then I won't stop you. I'll be honest, I just can't pass up the opportunity to work with Dragon bone, especially the one on the God Stage."

Ceozi thought about it several times since she was very close to the dragon's spine, but for her alone it was impossible, however, now everything has changed.
