"Let's test how sharp and sturdy it is," Roy said as he tightened his grip on the long sword
As a result, the long sword snapped, but not before leaving a scratch on the black glove made of defensive force.
He was pleased, seeing the result.
"It failed to pierce it, but it did make a mark."
He looked at the swords around him, whose flight was maintained by his aura.
He stored them in his subspace, thinking, "Although these aura swords can't be compared to a runic weapon as they lack a conspicuous special effect, they are high-quality weapons based on the fact that they can fly if one's inner energy or the world's energy is channeled into them. Not to mention, they are sharp enough to damage this glove. Most high-level runic weapons can't leave a scratch on the corporal manifestation of defensive force."
He took off the glove from his right hand and dropped it as it was useless to him. Something with such a high level of defense might be a treasure in someone else's eyes, but it didn't mean much to him as he could create a full-body armor with a similar level of defense in a moment.
"Wait!"
A thought suddenly emerged in Roy's mind.
"Can I affect the sword creation skill with my second soul-herding ability, Night's Miracle?"
This thought sent shivers of pleasure down his spine, causing untameable curiosity to glaze over his eyes.
"If it's possible to use Night's Miracle to fuse other abilities and different types of Force with the sword creation skill, I would be creating flying swords that possess extraordinary properties such as the sharpness and speed of Arrow Force, the formidable destructive power of the Black Aura Lightning, and the all-consuming heat of a magical fire!" Roy exclaimed.
He wanted to experiment, but he was worried about Delilah. The inhabitants of this area were murdered by the Sunfire Ape and its slave. She shouldn't be encountering any danger now that they were dead, but it was better to be safe than sorry. He didn't want to see her corpse because of a misjudgment.
He summoned Shadowless and commanded, "Find Delilah and bring her to me."
"Yes, master."
After Shadowless left, Roy concentrated on the type of sword he wanted to create.
It was a katana, the one used by samurai in ancient times, and it was overflowing with black lightning in his mind.
The first sword he imagined was an aura sword with the special ability to manifest the terrific black aura lightning!
Once the thought in his mind was strong enough, and the picture was clear like a beautiful and clean lake, the most unexpected happened.
A katana appeared in Roy's hand, and it was as real as a sword could be.
He looked at it in surprise. He didn't expect his efforts to take fruit so fast.
He could feel a familiar strength flowing in it.
"Please let it be true."
He swung it casually, and the most intense reaction took place.
Boom! Boom!
Black lightning thundered down and struck the ground, scorching it, leaving a black burnt mark, and reducing the rubble and weed to dust.
Each time he swung the katana, the same event took place.
『Ding! Congratulations on creating an aura sword with black aura lightning properties! Each attack made by this sword will cause black lightning to descend! This aura sword can cause it to rain lightning!』
"It really created a miracle," he muttered. "Night's miracle is a ridiculous ability. Paired with the sword creation manual, its heaven-shocking potential becomes evident."
"Far West wasn't unfair to me. It indirectly guided me to a dangerous situation but also rewarded me fairly."
The ex-rank soul stone he used to become a soul-herder wasn't ordinary.
The sword creation skill gave him full customization options. Adding the effect of the Night's Miracle soul-herding skill, he created multiple swords that were imbued with magical abilities.
In a few minutes, he created three incredibly powerful weapons.
『Ding! Congratulations on creating an aura sword with fire properties! Each attack made by this sword will cause fire to erupt! This aura sword can release a massive breath of level-6 magic fire!』
『Ding! Congratulations on creating an aura sword with sharpness comparable to your killing intent and the ability to produce black aura lightning! Each attack made by this sword will result in the creation of chaotic red lightning that can smite everything to death!』
『Ding! Congratulations on creating an aura sword with speed and sturdiness comparable to Arrow Force and the ability to produce black aura lightning! Each attack made by this sword will be swift like thunder and as strong as Thor's wrath!』
Roy circled the swords.
He named the first one black lightning! It was a lengthy katana of black color!
He named the second one Fire! It looked crimson red and was emitting a gentle wave of heat!
He named the third one Slaughter! He could feel the terrifying killing intent just by standing close to it!
He named the last one Thunder! It was faintly vibrating as if humming in response to his touch.
"You like that name? Thunder." Roy said.
The sword hummed louder as if it had a consciousness of its own.
'The four swords can harness elemental powers and concepts such as fire, lightning, Sword Force, and Killing intent. This makes them even more deadly than high-level to level-3 runic weapons. Even a child can inflict massive damage on their enemies using these swords. They are the modern world equivalent of guns and bombs.' Roy thought to himself.
"Should I create one more? A sword that contains all my abilities and wisdom?"
It was a good thought.
But picturing such an overpowered sword in his mind was a task in itself, and when he succeeded, nothing happened!
'This miracle is so ridiculous that it can't be realized. Or maybe my comprehension is weak, and I can't fuse more than two abilities with my sword creation skill using Night's Miracle."
