Odyssey of the Blind God

After working tirelessly for almost seven hours, Beran finished creating the first Lecasmir Spear. The Lecasmir Spear Beran had forged was completely different from the one Nial had given the blacksmith to replicate, but that was something he had expected.

The Lecasmir Spear had been created out of perfectly purified Lecasmir metal and its hidden wild and ferocious nature had been unveiled.

Controlling the Lecasmir Spear according to one's will was extremely difficult and the wielder was required to have a powerful mind, which included willpower and the desire to make the most use of the weapon, and it required an even stronger control of mana.

Under normal circumstances, not even ordinary Deux Originals would be able to wield the Lecasmir Spear properly.

Thus, Beran couldn't help but look at Nial in vigilance as he handed the young human Original the first finished and freshly forged Lecasmir Spear.

When Nial held the spear in his hand, he could immediately feel the power of the rebellious metal. It was almost as if the Lecasmir Spear had been transformed into a Spiritual weapon after being perfectly purified.

That was something Nial didn't expect but it was not something he disliked. In fact, Nial felt that this was in his favor.

"Pay heed to my commands!" Nial hissed at the Lecasmir Spear as he released his Essence of Darkness inside the Lecasmir Spear all at once.

There was no time to hesitate. Every single second after a good had been forged was important to make sure that the engraved runic constellations would retain their full efficiency.

Most Runiciers required hours to engrave all the runic constellations they desired, and it was even more important for them to create and maintain high stability between the outlines of the runic constellations and the forged goods as quickly as possible.

As long as they were capable of connecting the runic constellations with the veins of the forged metal, everything would be alright and they would have more than enough time to continue engraving the remaining parts of the runic constellations.

However, Nial didn't use the same tactic to engrave runic constellations on the desired forged product. He followed his instincts whenever he engraved runic constellations rather than using a traditional way.

The latter was much better for most Runiciers, who required a long time to engrave all the runic constellations on the forged product, but that was not the case for Nial.

He had always been good at engraving runic constellations and he could do it extremely fast without making mistakes.

That was also why it was necessary to bring the Lecasmir Spear under his control, no matter what he would have to do!

To achieve this, he utilized his full focus, including his range of perception and his Mana Sense upon the Lecasmir Spear after it was already shaken thoroughly by the massive amount of Essence of Darkness that passed through the metal's veins. After this, it became an easy task for Nial to achieve the desired effect.

The Lecasmir Spear began to vibrate violently as if it was shaking in fright, just for Nial to retract his range of perception, his Mana Sense and even more importantly, every bit of the Essence of Darkness.

"I will make you stronger than anyone else could ever make you. I only need your cooperation and trust to let me do everything I want!" Nial spoke to the weapon calmly and the Lecasmir Spear magically stopped vibrating as if it could understand Nial's words.

'This guy…what the hell is he?' Beran asked himself before he started to size up Nial once again. He looked at the small human from head to toe but couldn't really detect that anything was off.

But that didn't make any sense. How was it possible for an ordinary human being to dominate the Lecasmir Spear so easily?

"Can you start with the second Lecasmir Spear, please? I will be done before you otherwise!" Nial joked lightly when he noticed that Beran was blankly staring at him.

The blacksmith flinched involuntarily and he nodded his head mindlessly before he got to work. He reduced a large piece of Lecasmir ore to the metal before he started purifying it.

Meanwhile, as Beran began with the forging process of the second perfectly purified Lecasmir Spear, Nial smiled at the spear in front of him.

"Let's see just how powerful your Elemental augmentation has become after you're perfectly purified!" He mumbled as he removed one of the red runic solutions caps.

He wanted to start with the main component of the runic armament he desired to create, which is why he used the Laviran Silverblood runic solution right off the bat.

Four hours passed in the blink of an eye, and Nial had used more than four different runic solutions to engrave various runic constellations that were all combined with the main Advanced runic constellation he had engraved using the Laviran Silverblood runic solutions.

"To think that I have improved so much…is that also related to my stronger perception and mana control after I underwent 100 Refinements of Imperfectia? That cannot be…right?" Nial mumbled to himself, not even realizing that Levandor was less than five meters away from him.

The Runicier of the Keril race appeared to be truly devastated. However, that was not due to Nial's terrific abilities as Runicier but more thanks to the trouble Ryu had caused.

The wingless Gryphon was currently standing right next to Levandor, whose hair was completely disheveled. Ryu had found a way inside the blacksmithing hall and it took Levandor a great amount of effort to prevent Ryu from charging straight toward Nial.

In the end, Ryu was given permission to stay by Nial's side as long as he didn't stir any trouble, but that was also only due to the fact that some Runiciers had gotten interested in Nial's runic constellations and the fact that he replicated inscribing Superior and Ancient Runic constellations by combining Basic, Intermediate and Advanced runic constellations.

One of the Archmaster Runiciers, who had been invited to witness the battle of a blind human fighting against a Heligav Assassin, had seen the runic constellations Nial had used in the battle and he had heard that the young human claimed to have created the runic armaments by himself.

Thus, it was only obvious that the Archmaster was interested in the engraving procedure Nial made use of while creating runic armaments.

But what the Archmaster Runicier saw through the orb that controlled the surveillance cameras in the Hall of Forgers was something beyond his understanding.

"Does that young man even know what he is doing, or is he completely oblivious to everything??" He asked himself, without a single clue as to what the answer might be. Nobody else was in the room he was resting in and everything he saw through the orb seemed to be too odd to be true.

He picked up a messenger crystal, called someone, and Levandor, the Runicier, retrieved his own messenger crystal to answer the call he had just received.

"Once he has forged the first Lecasmir Spear, test it out immediately!" The Archmaster Runicier demanded, which caused Levandor to freeze in his place.

"But what if I injure anyone here, or the runic armament malfunctions and destroys something? That would be disa—..." Levandor knew that it was not the best move to go against a Superior's order but he couldn't help himself.

Using runic armaments in the Hall of Forgers was forbidden, and for a good reason at that.

"Shut up and follow my command! I will take full responsibility of any untoward incident that might occur…just show me the power of the freshly forged Lecasmir Spear!" The Archmaster Runicier reassured in an impatient voice and Levandor could only nod his head before he looked over to Nial.

Nial had been engraving runic constellations at a terrifyingly fast pace and the young human was now towering above the Lecasmir Spear as if he was trying to figure out what else he had to do.

He added a few connections between the different runic constellations while making use of all the metal veins of the Lecasmir metal.

Nial didn't want to waste any of the spear's potential because it was such a great metal. It was definitely an extremely rare piece of metal and Nial began to wonder just how expensive it would be if he were to make an attempt to create the same runic armaments he was currently creating.

"The runic armaments I will create in the Master Runicier test won't be mine, right?" Nial asked lightly as he turned his head to Levandor, who stared at him for a few seconds, not sure what to say.

"That's….what you're thinking about right now?" Levandor finally blurted out after a few seconds and Nial could only shrug his shoulders in response.

"Yeah, why not? I'm done here, after all!"
