Chapter 55: Modification & Sword
"Want to give it a try?"
"Ahh!!"
Hearing the sudden voice coming from right behind her, Nezuko was so startled she jumped forward and away from it
This instinctive response caused her to jump from the porch and into the sunlight that was in front of her
She didn't even notice her situation as she quickly looked back toward the origin of the noise
Seeing that it was actually Lorien she visibly relaxed and breathed a sigh of relief, but then she looked at him with an aggrieved look on her face
Even with her heightened senses as a demon, she still couldn't feel his presence, it was as if he had just popped there into existence
Seeing this, Lorien scratched the back of his head with a wry smile on his face, and then gave off an awkward laugh
"Haa.Haa...Hey! Now we know for sure that you can live under the sun!"
Only after hearing this did Nezuko finally react as she looked wide-eyed at the bright sun light shining on her skin
Enjoying the long-lost warmth for a couple of moments
She took a couple more steps forward and stood in the position with the most light, as a happy smile full of joy and satisfaction lit her face
Seeing this, Lorien didnt want to bother her now, so he just shook his head lightly and started walking towards his original destination, The Dream Tree
But then, just after he took a couple of steps he heard a yell from behind
"THANK YOUU!!"
Hearing this a smile appeared on his face as he just waved his hand back and continued on his way
-
Reaching the Tree of Dream, Lorien then sat in the shade under it
What he's about to do now is make a weapon for Saigai as he had previously promised
Following that, he'll make some modifications to his own sword
After using it for so long, he discovered some issues and thought of some new ideas which he didn't think of before
But that'll be after he makes Saigai's sword as the modification he'll be doing for his sword are minor things
Raising his hands in front of him, Lorien began using his power
[Dream/Reality]: Create Sword
As this power started taking effect
A sword and a Scabbard immediately materialized in front of him
The Sword blade was scarlet in color, it looked as if it was made of ruby
As for the Scabbard and Handle, they were pitch black in color
The weapon and Scabbard were constructed in a similar fashion to his own sword
Made of a combination of unknown materials reaching the peak of what normal humans without powers can theoretically create
But even then it is still at the [Mortal] level, as there are no mystical powers contained in them
However, this won't be the case for long as following this Lorien then took out the bead he previously asked Saigai to fill with her 'Doom' power
Then, with his power in effect, the blood-colored bead became semi-transparent and then quickly shrank to the size of a fingernail
What Lorien just did is create a Power 'Seed' to give the weapon supernatural powers
The 'Seed' he had just created is arguably the most important one as it gives the weapon the ability to grow stronger by absorbing the power of 'Doom'
Putting this 'Seed' to the side for now, he let it float there on its own
Following that he began creating other Power 'Seeds' one after the other
This lasted for a while before he finally finished
Now, he has a group of fingernail-sized 'balls' floating in front of him
Each of them contained a different power and just waiting to be merged into the weapon
And Lorien didn't let them wait for long as with a wave of his hand those 'seeds immediately merged into the floating Sword and Scabbard
As they did, Eerie black patterns started appearing on the blade, while blood-colored ones appeared on both the scabbard and sword handle
Those changes lasted for a while until the whole weapon was covered in runes giving it mysterious yet creepy vibes
Looking at the finished product, Lorien couldn't help but nod in satisfaction, obviously happy with his work
This Weapon now contains a lot of powers, which are
[Growth]: This gives it the ability to absorb the powers of 'Doom', 'Calamity', and other sub-powers, which effectively allows it to have unlimited potential
[Energy Accumulation]: Gives the weapon the ability to accumulate energy like a power bank, this energy could then be used for recovery or attack
[Immortal Slaying]: Inhibits regeneration
[Toughness]: Increases swords toughness and prevents it from getting shattered or destroyed
[Sharpness]: Increases the Sword's Sharpness
[Recovery]: Based on the Scabbard, and helps restore the sword if damaged, and Heal Saigai in case she is wounded
And finally, there are two more powers that will also be added to his own weapon after this, which are
[Transformation]: Allows the weapon to transform into different shapes such as necklaces, bracelets..etc
For now, the sword can not be transformed into a different weapon such as a Spear or Bow, but it will be possible in the future as the weapon grows stronger
[Bind]: This binds the weapon to Saigai
So now, having finished creating the weapon, Lorien then sheathed the sword and put it to the side
He then pulled out his own sword which he had always carried with him
Putting it on his lap Lorien then created 2 'Seeds' and then merged them with it
Those seeds are the same as the ones he created and put in Saigai's weapon
They are the [Bind] and [Transformation] 'Seeds'
Actually, when thinking about it at first, Lorien felt that the [Binding] seed is a bit useless for him
But then, after thinking about it for a while he still decided to create it
The power he actually wanted and needed is actually the [Transformation] one
After traveling for so long Lorien felt the inconvenience of moving around with a weapon strapped to his waist all the time
But now he could finally solve this issue that had bugged him since the first day he had the sword
With the 'Seeds' merging into the weapon, no outside changes occurred
But Lorien could actually feel a strong connection getting established with the sword on his lap
He also felt like he could find it no matter where it was, This feeling was truly magical
But this wasnt the most important part as after playing with it for a while he began trying the other Power
And with a thought, The sword immediately disappeared as a bracelet suddenly appeared on Lorien's wrist
Then with another thought, the bracelet vanished and got replaced with a ring on his right hand
Seeing this, Lorien finally relaxed as a joyful look appeared on his face
'Finally! I don't have to move with a chunk of metal fastened to my waist all day long'
