Someday Will I Be The Greatest Alchemist?

Chapter 93: Spring of the 3rd Year

Chapter 93: Spring of the 3rd Year

Two years have passed since I came to Mildgard, and I turned 17.

I travel back and forth betwen Volton town and Wedgefort, working hectically. Wedgefort town is bustling with adventurers and merchants, and I hear that the number of stationed soldiers there is close to 3,000.

It was like the two years passed by in a flash. Receiving kindness from everyone at Bohd Village, I was able to prepare myself to live in this world. With the personality and policies of Godwin-sama, the lord ruling Volton, it was a good town easy to live in, and I understood very well that His Majesty is a wise king when he summoned me. I think Norn-san chose to send me to that place after considering the surrounding environment.

These several months, I’ve been making an effort to strengthen the ?Sword of the Absorber? that Sophia and I use with the ores and ingots we got from the dungeon during our work breaks.

The reason is because the ores and ingots we obtained contain a small amount of orichalcum. But it isn’t much though, and not an amount that can be forged into a sword. So I thought to use synthesis to compound our swords.

? Absolute Sword (Zekken) Tsukuyomi

A magic sword capable of absorbing the magic power of the opponent it cuts.

The more magic power it absorbs, the sharper and more powerful it becomes.

?Strong Slash? ?Self Repair?

?Sacred Sword (Seiken) Amaterasu

A magic sword capable of absorbing the magic power of the opponent it cuts.

The more magic power it absorbs, the sharper and more powerful it becomes.

?Strong Slash? ?Self Repair?

As a result, the sword bestowed with the Light attribute was the Sacred Sword Amaterasu. It deals tremendous damage to enemies that are unaffected by physical attacks like the undead. The effect of having been transmuted with orichalcum was that it raised the hardness and toughness by several degrees, boasting a cutting edge that would easily cut through adamantite alloy

The sword blade shines a bright blue, and it was remade with a workmanship that wasn’t inferior.

I’ll have Sophia use this sword.

The other one, the Absolute Sword Tsukuyomi, which was bestowed with Dark and Lightning attributes, had become a slightly powerful magic sword.

If one is even grazed by this sword, it is able to deal damage to the mind/soul*(?). Furthermore, it adds an extra paralysis with the Lightning attribute. Given that it still has the special characteristic of absorbing magic power, a fiendish magic sword was completed.

I made Marnie-san, who works as a maid, always wear a classic long skirt maid outfit, but, while this is limited to within our house, it’s like the backlash was extreme when she wears her plain high-exposure clothes. According to Laeva, it is a disposition of the Rabbitkin to have a tendency for seeking a partner that is strong, and she intends to make me, a strong male, like her. I should discuss this with Sophia and Maria. Well, I definitely wouldn’t be able to keep my reasoning.

Sophia started polishing not only her use of the sword and spear, but also her attribute magic and spirit magic, and I think she is the most balanced in the party.

Maria has risen to adventurer rank C, but her rank is just the surface as she’s obtained the strength of equal to a top adventurer. Her skill at sewing has risen and she and Kaede are responsible for our clothing and underwear.

Laeva has improved at alchemy. She’s reached the point where she can transmute chantlessly even if a portion of the transmutation circle is missing. And she’s already apprentice level as a magic blacksmith. Her current adventurer rank is D.

Kaede is still an excellent seamstress and she creates a clothing and underwear with a variety of designs with Maria. It seems she personally accepts work from the Papeck Company too.

Titan commands the gatekeeper golems and specializes in being our bodyguard. Thanks to Titan, the gatekeeper golems’ performance has greatly improved.

Tsubaki, who has evolved into a Dragon Horse, has no rivals around Volton. Even enemies who are difficult to damage with physical attacks die against the breath that Tsubaki acquired. Her running speed and stamina have improved, extending our area of activity.

And lastly, Marnie-san. Compared to the haggard-looking woman she was when she had first arrived, she’s now cheerful. She seems to be on good terms with Sophia and the others too. Apparently, she’s taking lessons on self-defense dagger techniques and taijutsu from Maria. Once afraid of Kaede, Marnie-san has now opened up to her. And she appeals strongly to me. If a voluptuous woman with a dynamite body appeals to me with a passionate gaze, even I think it would only be a matter of time before the dam of my desires bursts.

This is how the turbulent 3rd year started for me.
