Master Of None

Chapter 1392 1392. Perfect Prototype

' shadow blade dwelling sword

+7atk, increased darkness elemental damage

This sword has been made using a hybrid of draconic and original runes. The knowledge used to create it is extremely refined over many years. The materials are basic but the runes strengthen the short sword well beyond what it would normally have. The bonus of increased darkness elemental damage comes from the addition of draconic runes which are better suited to attacking than defending or absorbing elemental mana. This sword has the ability to house a darkness elemental spirit. When a spirit is dwelling within they have the ability to coat the sword's blade in shadow to increase the attack range.'

Walker read the appraisal out loud and saw the wandering blacksmith start to scribble on blueprints nearby. He had been testing things to make this prototype. But it had ended up much better than he imagined.

"It can have a darkness spirit dwell within while also providing additional darkness attack damage. But what's this about draconic runes being better for attacking? I did not know this was a possibility for runes." Most people did not know that runes were separated for their uses. However, it was easily understandable to someone who specialized in rune carving.

"I would say that the dragons use their mana to assert their dominance in battle. The runes created over the years mirror this. But the runes made by the elves are focused on gathering mana while also defending things. The runes used by the dwarves are focused on defenses and strengthening the materials. I've managed to learn that much at least. A hybrid rune would be best for most things. But weaker in all aspects to gain a well rounded item."

Mordant was extremely impressed with the knowledge that Walker had. Out of all the things he had seen Walker do, Mordant had not truly seen Walker use his knowledge in a variety of aspects at once. Runes dealt with mana, elements, and even the ability to forge. Walker, being a master of none, was truly being exemplified in Mordant's eyes.

"Then I will need to begin to look at my armor. My proper battle armor." Mordant appeared to be much more serious. The shadows seemed to dance around him and every single dragonkin regardless of how exhausted stood up. It was muscle memory from their harsh training. They were all in battle stances awaiting an order.

"If you want to have such a thing made, then you will need to do better than play with shadows. The wandering blacksmith does not take orders unless he is interested. Even I could never force him to make a single pin if he didn't desire it." Walker nodded his head toward the wandering blacksmith.

The look in the wandering blacksmith's eyes showed a deep fire that was better off left undisturbed. Whether the wandering blacksmith had power or not was without concern. But having the will to resist any pain or power used against him was another matter. This unyielding will was why the wandering blacksmith had not stayed stagnant in his pursuit of new materials.

"I am willing to bet my pride on that. I will find the best possible materials and see if he can resist it." Mordant was acting much more like a domineering dragon than he had as of yet. But he instantly pulled back his mana. The appearance he was giving off was too much and had woken the hatchlings who felt a potential conflict.

"Midnight, I think now would be a good time to go and find Su. If I remember right she asked the adventurer's guild to clear the coliseum. She even got Scylla's permission to spar with the dragonkin warriors." Walker knew it had come at a cost. Scylla had snuck her warriors in to the arena battle too so that she could watch them improve against insanely powerful opponents.

"You want those three to watch battles? That is another interesting thing for the day. Mordant was like a child being offered their favorite treat. Constant entertainment and mystery could keep him wondering for years.

"Did you forget that Genesis is filled with endless potential? Don't you want to see everything that these hatchlings will learn?" Baiting Mordant in to more and more connections with Genesis was proving too easy for Walker. He almost felt that he was doing something cruel and addictive.

"My warriors will crush any that attempt to face them. They have the speed and affinity to beat your guards, adventurers, and friends." Mordant was too energetic. Walker felt that he may have started the wrong battle. But the wandering blacksmith, on the other hand, seemed happy to see them leaving. He wanted to return to his next project.

"My sword." These two words made Mordant place the shadow blade dwelling sword on a table. The wandering blacksmith was not letting it go. This wasn't his best work. He saw tiny flaws in his runes. He saw too much wasted material. He saw something he had not mastered yet."

"Don't work these dragonkin to death. Just leave them hanging right on the edge." Mordant nearly whispered this but saw all of his dragonkin craftsmen react. They would gladly give everything to achieve what their lord desired.

"Sorry for the interruption. Let's get moving." Walker waved slowly while Midnight pushed the hatchlings out the door in front of him. "And Midnight, those three will need to watch carefully. This is the first time they will see a lot of different people fighting. They will learn a lot." Walker didn't let Midnight forget this although he already knew she would take it seriously.

Moving to the coliseum was a little premature. It was still being finished. Luckily, the main battle arena had been done for some time. Many people had already attempted to train there to have a better understanding of the main field they would challenge their opponents on.
