Supreme Magus novel Chapter 4480

Chapter 4480: Semi Sentience (Part 2)

"I can, but only after I finish upgrading Tista’s and my Orichalcum, since they’ll both end up in my pockets." Lith replied. "Turning Adamant into Davross will take so long that giving you a hand with your Orichalcum is not a problem."

"Thank you." It wasn’t what she had hoped for, but it was better than nothing. "Before you go, do you have a minute?"

"For you, I have five." Lith smirked, receiving a smack on the shoulder. "What’s the matter?"

Faluel used a mind link to share every detail of her fight against the Isharas and Gungnir’s behavior.

"I was surprised hearing it... Him talk, but after that day, he has remained completely silent, and it’s pissing me off." She said. "Do you have any idea why he behaves like that?"

"As I told you the first time, I find it hard to believe the weapon Solus and I crafted for you is semi-sentient at all." Lith replied. "Everything else is just absurd to me. My rule of thumb when I don’t understand something is to speak with an expert."

A flick of Lith’s fingers Warped everyone to the Mansion. He then asked Solus, Menadion, and the Ernas to join him. Another mind link shared Gungnir’s conundrum with them.

"You’ve already Forgemastered a second semi-sentient weapon?" Orion was flabbergasted. "That’s an amazing feat for someone your age. I never made anything like that until I crafted War."

Ragnarök squeaked with joy hearing its old name and the pride its maker exuded when talking about it.

"Well, good for you. I’ve never Forgemastered anything like that, Orion." Ripha studied the different weapons with her Forgemastering spells, trying to sort out their similarities and differences.

"You didn’t?" Much to everyone’s surprise, the question came from Jirni. "The legendary First Ruler of the Flames never achieved a weapon of this quality?"

"No. Never." Menadion narrowed her eyes in annoyance. "I can understand your pride in your husband’s skills, Jirni, but never question mine or my talent. I’m the first to admit I fall short in this aspect, but I think I know why this happened."

"Which is?" Lith asked.

"Two reasons." Menadion replied. "First, I never mastered Blade Magic myself. I knew it, understood it, and could even use it outside combat situations, but never at its full potential.

"I never was a Blade Mage. I just knew enough to understand the phenomenon thoroughly and be able to reliably Forgemaster Blade Weapons for my clients. Which leads us to the second reason.

"Blade Weapons were just another job. I put all my heart and soul into them, but I never gave them a purpose or poured more effort into them than my client’s reputation inspired me.

"I suppose I unwittingly always held back a bit because I knew that someday those very weapons might be used against me. You guys, instead, have worked hard to master Blade Magic and can use it in actual combat.

"You’ve ingrained it in your flesh and bones, and this makes your connection with your weapons much more intimate than I’ve ever allowed mine to be. Moreover, when you Forgemastered the semi-sentient weapons, they carried a great significance to you."

Menadion turned to examine them.

"War was born to kill Phloria’s enemies. Grimlock was crafted to cut down all those who hurt Orion as Deirus and Jirni did." Everyone turned to look at Lady Ernas, but if those words hurt her, it didn’t show.

’First, Menadion rubbed in my face how I hurt my husband, and now she’s implying that he loves me less than our daughters?’ She thought while keeping her face a stone mask.
