Hero of Darkness

Chapter 1041  The New Weapon

1 Month Later…

Clank!

Clank!

Sounds of a Hammer banging on a curved blade placed on an anvil resonated in a vast realm made of fiery pits of volcanos, blistering mountains made of black stones, and rivers of magma.

This was one of the sections, more likely a separate dimension similar to Convergence of Reality, Hall of Sentience, Linchpin of Multiverse, and inside the Chamber of Exaltation.

Kahn named this realm that he was forging his new weapon in as… Muspelheim.

If not for his 100% natural affinity he acquired through the Elemental Transfusion technique operated by his mentor Vildred and the Complete Immunity to Fire Element he achieved after absorbing the Divine Key, Flamescion; which he got by killing the Hero of Fire… Kahn would have been turned into ash a long time ago.

Although it was 1 month in the real world, the time inside the Chamber of Exaltation worked differently.

1 Day outside was 3 Days inside the Tablet of Arcana.

So by that sense, Kahn had been forging his new weapon for the past 90 days, without even a single hour of break.

Thanks to his tenacious mind and Rathnaar's core… he never ran out of world energy and could solely focus on forging this new weapon.

BOOM!!

A massive burst of overwhelming and insurmountable energy of unknown origin erupted and spread 20 kilometers in radius, shattering mountains and causing tsunamis of incinerating magmas as the Hammer made of Kahn's own Darkness elemental world energy shattered and he was flung 1 kilometer away.

"It is finally done!" said Kahn with a victorious smile and quickly appeared next to a glowing blade that was pitch black, had lightning running across it, and a blueish mystical energy encompassing the entire Katana.

The entire blade had dozens of tiny and missable runes carved into it but the immense power and destructive force every single of them carried was beyond comprehension.

Swoosh!

Swoosh!

Both Rathnaar and Vildred suddenly appeared inside Muspelheim and stood behind Kahn.

"What was that?! I thought the realm fell apart." said Rathnaar in his human form.

"My weapon is finally finished. I finally succeeded in completing those Draconiac Runes." replied Kahn with an elated expression.

But right then, Vildred asked with a puzzled countenance…

"What's happening here? I gave you my Fang… a Royal Dragon's fang that's 50 meters in length. What have you done to it?!" asked the former Lightning Dragon Emperor.

Yes, the forging material used by Kahn for his new Katana was none other than Vildred's Fang.

In his true form, Vildred was a 3-kilometer tall Royal Dragon and both of his fangs were as big as the Colossal Titan.

Kahn used one of his mentor's fangs to create this weapon because he no longer had any suitable materials left.

"You're looking at it." responded Kahn as he pointed at the newly forged katana.

"It's how long? 70 centimeters (29 inches)?" asked the Sage of Preservation, baffled.

"73 centimeters to be exact. However, it's still the very fang you gave me." said Kahn.

Next, a smirk appeared on his face.

"Lift it."

Vildred followed and lifted the katana but for some reason, he felt pressure on his arm.

"This is…it's heavy. And that's the same weight as my fang when it plucked it out of my mouth." said the magic mentor.

"It's 4000 tons, exactly the weight of your fang." said Kahn.

Even Rathnaar and Vildred were astonished.

"How did you make it?" queried Rathnaar, the former Peak Saint of Vantrea.

"You guys keep forgetting that not only I'm a Saint Rank Master Blacksmith, I'm also one of the two Apostles of Blacksmithing in the world.

I have Blessings and Gifts directly given by the Brokkr and Eitri, the Deities of Blacksmithing." said Kahn in a smug tone.

"While forging this blade, I used the Harnessing and Conceptualization technique taught to me by master Romulus on the fang.

I also used multiple Dragon, Dwarven, and Elven runes on the original fang which helped me turn your 50-meter-long, 15-meter-wide fang into the size of a blade. I even had to use the Dragonfire just to heat the fang to mend and mold it into the shape of a katana's blade.

However, the strength and power it held is exactly the same as before." he elaborated.

"Made from a Royal Dragon's fang born with Lightning Element." iterated Kahn.

The only person who could come even close to Vildren in terms of the highest lightning affinity in the world at this moment would be none other than the Hero of Lightning.

"Then infused with my Darkness Element while forging the blade through every strike.

And during the final phase, I merged it with the stream of Cosmic Aether falling right under the Linchip of Multiverse." he declared in a zealous tone.

"So by default… the blade now has both Darkness given by the God of Darkness and the Lightning of the Lightning Dragon Emperor while possessing the Cosmic Aether from the Dimensional Cracks of the Multiverse.

I also used the highest tier of the Dwarven and Elven Runes taught to me by my master Throk Oakenshield from the Vulcan Empire, along with the Draconiac runic magic by master Vildred." he emphasized this part again.

"Even a normal attack from it contains both Darkness and Lightning merged to the highest compatibility possible and the collective destructive force is multiplied by 3 times.

And the best part… it responds to both the Dragon Bloodline and Darkness Elemental skills that I have from the Hero of Darkness title.

This means my strongest attack can now become 9 times more powerful than the original attack.

As a 6th stage saint, my strongest attack can destroy and pulverize up to 45 kilometers of space in a straight line." revealed Kahn in a stern voice.

"45 kilometers? That's as same as a normal intermediate 7th stage saint." said Rathnaar in an approving tone.

"Yes. Although It's not as far as master Romulus who can destroy up to 90 kilometers as a Peak 7th-stage saint at his full power… it should be enough for me to hold my ground even if I fought that Light elemental saint called Markgrav from the Inquisitors.

And that's not the end…" revealed Kahn and continued solemnly…

"Unlike with Lucifer and my other weapons… I no longer need to be dependent upon my own reserves of Space Force or Cosmic Aether to use the Dimensional Cut skill or even need to replenish it.

This katana can absorb the cosmic aether present in the Real World and the True Dimension all by itself, " he said and sighed in relief.

"Just forging this weapon pushed me to my limits and now I have surpassed myself by a huge milestone. Much farther compared to when I made Sigrun and Vidarr.

Comparing all these factors and being forged by the Apostle of Blacksmithing…

Something unexpected happened." spoke Kahn in an anticipating tone.

"I didn't realize until the system gave me the notification. But now I have broken through my limitation by making this katana. And achieved the 3rd Enlightenement in Law of Blacksmithing just like my mentor Throk Oakenshield." he declared.

This was another huge milestone for Kahn.

"I'll name this katana as... Muramasa." declared Kahn pridefully.

Ding!

However, before he could relish that achievement… The system gave another notification.

[Congratulations to the Host! Nôv(el)B\\jnn

Muramasa, the new katana created by the host has surpassed its limitations due to the highest grade of Forging Material, Blacksmithing Techniques, Blessings & Gifts received as the Apostle of Blacksmithing along with the highest tiers of Runic Magic.

The resultant weapon created by the host is of…] informed the system as it made even Kahn open his eyes wide in shock.
