Demon Lord's Reincarnation

Chapter 376 - The Sword

Chapter 376 - The Sword

Ren had reached the Northern wall without any problems. When he saw the incoming horde of monsters he couldn't help but smile. The monsters were still quite a distance away from the wall, but you could see that they were a very huge group. They were also a very diverse group of monsters. It was obvious that one of them was a leader of sorts controlling all the others.

'So that Primordial Demon really had more tricks up his sleeves. Well, I guess this is more of a present than a trick.'

Ren smiled his signature vicious smile as his shadow grew larger and larger. After enlarging from within his shadow hundreds of weapons came out, these were the weapons he received from Alphonso's shop. The weapons surrounded the area where Ren stood making it look like a graveyard of weapons.

As Ren was about ready to attack, he suddenly felt two approaching presences. He looked behind him and saw Tsukiko simply standing there smiling at him and at a distance there were two dwarves holding something huge that was covered in some sort of cloth. The two whose height was as tall as a human child, but had arms the size of an adult human male's thighs, were having some difficulty carrying the gigantic object.

When the two dwarves arrived before Ren, he finally remembered who these two were. He had met the two when he had lost his memory. He had commissioned these two dwarven brothers to make him a weapon out of the dragon's talons and bones he had. He even gave them some rare ores that he had with him. One of the two dwarves held the clothed object upward. It was three times taller than him, in fact, it was even taller than Ren by two heads. The other dwarf approached Ren to speak to him.

"It has been a while, Sir, we have finally finished creating the weapon you have asked for. This is the strongest sword that we have poured our everything into making." The dwarf pulled the cloth off and showed the a sword of otherworldly magnificence.

The blade was made out of the talon of the dragon and the handle seem to be made of a mixture of different kinds of metal. The aura the sword was exuding was rather menacing, this was expected of a sword made from parts of a dragon.

"This is our masterpiece! The handle is created by mixing some of the extra bones you have given us, alongside Orichalcum and Adamantine. The edges have been sharpened with-" As one of the dwarves was getting excited explaining how they created the sword, Ren stopped him and pointed at the nearing monsters.

"I get that you want to describe how great of a sword you created, but how about I just test it out and experience how great it is, for myself." When the two dwarven brothers heard what Ren said they both nodded their heads.

"Of course, please try out our masterpiece… Also if possible can we stay to witness its performance." Tsukiko giggled when she heard what the dwarves said. Ren looked at her teasing smile and sighed. The dwarven brothers didn't know what was going on and looked confused and a bit afraid.

Even though they were excited to present the weapon they created, they were still afraid of Ren. They were there in the arena and had seen how Ren dealt with the monster called Nyarlom. They didn't want to provoke such a powerful person, but at the same time, they were truly curious about the weapon they created.

As blacksmiths, they were sure they knew the quality of the weapon, as they had used the best materials available to them. But since they weren't able to wield the sword to test it out they weren't sure of its true capabilities.

The sword weighed two tons and it needed both of the brothers to even lift it from the ground. They already had so much difficulty simply lifting it much less test it. They knew that Ren was about to go into battle which is why they wanted to see the sword's performance and rushed over, but now they were worried that they had made a mistake.

Seeing the distress of the dwarven brothers, Ren chuckled. "Don't worry you can stay if you want to. Just don't get in my way and stay at the back."

"Yes thank you, sir!" The two nodded their heads as they offered the sword to Ren.

Ren grabbed onto the handle of his new sword and immediately felt the presence of the dragon's mana within the blade. He found it rather impressive that the dwarven brothers could handle such materials, and was able to create this sword. It was also remarkable that they were able to carry the sword all the way to him, without having some kind of backlash.

'It must have something to do with the cloth they used to cover the sword. Also, their gloves seem to have some sort of rune enhancement… The dwarven race, hmm, they are rather impressive.'

Ren lifted the sword up and was surprised at how heavy it was. He tried making his mana and Spirit Aura flow towards the sword, and to his surprise, the sword that had some dragon's mana in it easily accepted the outside energy. Not only that, it quickly adapted the two different energies and seamlessly combined them with its own. It was as if the sword had a mind of its own.

Ren double-checked and was sure that this weapon had no spirit, but it seems like it was in the middle of forming one. Ren was truly amazed by how magnificent this weapon was. Aside from Silika's scythe, this was the best weapon he has ever held.

"Hey, Ren, you better stop admiring your new toy and look behind you." Tsukiko's voice snapped Ren back into reality. He looked behind him and saw that the horde of monsters were about to reach him.

Ren quickly recalled all of his weapons back into his shadow and held his new weapon upward. Facing the numerous monsters charging towards him, Ren was at ease as he held onto his sword. Usually, the monsters would have already run in terror when they notice Ren, but this time they didn't. This was because Ren was suppressing his mana and presence to the best of his ability. To the monsters who rely on their instincts, Ren who was suppressing his power was like any other weak human.

The wave of monsters were finally close enough so Ren dashed forward. Ren swung the sword down as lightly as possible and a wave of mana burst out killing a dozen monsters. Ren was shocked to see such an outcome, so he stopped making his mana and Spirit Aura flow through the sword.

When he once again lightly swung the sword to the side, it easily sliced through one of the bigger monsters like it was butter. Ren was now only enhancing his body to a minimum but despite that, it was still too easy killing the nearby monsters.

Ren didn't even use any techniques or skills just a simple swing was enough to kill wave after wave of monsters.

…

Tsukiko who was watching Ren battling the monsters was baffled. She already knew that Ren would easily win against the horde of monsters. Yet she didn't expect it to be like this. It wasn't even Ren doing most of the job, it was mostly because of the sword he was wielding.

Each swing of the sword would kill several monsters, some of them won't even go near Ren as they were afraid of the aura the sword was emanating. It was pretty obvious to Tsukiko who wasn't that knowledgeable about swordplay that Ren was simply swinging the sword around without any skill involved.

…

The dwarven brothers were excited to watch their masterpiece being wielded by a true master. Yet the moment they saw the ongoing battle they couldn't believe their eyes. They already knew that their masterpiece was powerful, but they didn't expect it to be so heaven-defying.

The wave of monsters were too weak to even test the true capabilities of the blade. Seeing it slice through one monster after another without it even having so much as a nick made the dwarven brothers extremely exhilarated. If they were simply saying it before, they felt like it was true now. The sword they had created was the strongest blade.

The brothers looked at each other and saw that they were both crying and smiling at the same time. Even after being exiled from the dwarven kingdoms, they had created with their own two hands a weapon that would go down in legend.

Minstrels will sing of their tale of how two exiled dwarven brothers had created the weapon that would be in all of the adventures of this powerful human… They were sure that Ren would go down in history, and surely the weapon he wielded will also be remembered, that would mean they too will have been part of history, of a legend.
