Chapter 519 New Weapons For Everyone

-----

"Don't worry about it, Lady Maria. My father died for the country, protecting them from the menace of the monsters. He died protecting me and my mother… Like the warrior he always was. After that incident, I was devasted though… I stopped forging, thinking there was no point anymore without my old man. But my mother and my grandma got me out of that hole, and then helped me join a school for forging. In there is where I meet those old men over there. They reignited my passion for forging, and since then, I never stopped forging. I didn't wanted to be like my father any longer, I wanted to surpass him one day."

"I am sure you've already surpassed him." I said with a smile.

"Hahaha, yeah, I suppose I've come farther than the old man could have ever done before. But I still got a long way to go. The same way he once taught me all these things, I am now imparting them into you, Lady Maria. I hope you can make good use of my teachings in the future. Not only for yourself, but also for all the people here, counting on you." Said Darfu.

"Sure thing, Darfu. Thanks for telling me this, I feel even more motivated to learn… I'll get going for now though, let's resume classes tomorrow then!" I said.

"Alright! Have a nice day then, Lady Maria!" Darfu said. I could had stayed her for longer by simply using my other half of my soul, but Darfu had other things to do and I can grind skill proficiency at night if I ever want to rather than annoy the dwarves in their furnace at this hour.

As I was about to leave, the twin dwarves stopped me from walking away.

"Wait a bit lass, we've got the weapons you wanted done." Said Baldur.

"Yeah. The spear and the bow." Balladur said.

The two dwarves sowed me the two beautiful weapons, which they had enhanced and upgraded using their abilities and various ores I've given to them. Partner's second spear, which was black, gained several blood-like red markings on it, and had eyes shaped decorations making it look exceptionally creepy.

Her new weapon was slightly weaker than the previous one, but this seemed to be because of the weapon being way lower leveled than Partner's first spear, so it couldn't bring as many stats. Still, the difference in stats is not even that big, and the more bonuses Partners gets, the better anyways.

[Sacred Holy Spirit Tree Magic Bow (B Grade)]

[Level]: [0/40]

[Durability]: [10000/10000]

[Sacred Magic Bow]: Enhances Holy Light/Life/Nature Magic Damage by +120% and reduces MP Cost by -50%. The weapon can easily channel and absorb Holy Light/Life/Nature Magic to unleash stronger techniques.

[Magic Arrows]: By directly infusing elemental Mana into the bow, it is possible to create, shape, and fire powerful Magic Arrows that can explode into different effects depending in the spell imbued into them, enhancing damage dealt by +50%. When combining this with real arrows, damage dealt is enhanced by +100% instead.

[Spirit Tree Protection]: As long as this bow is equipped by the wielder, it can automatically absorb Mana from the wielder to erect a powerful Spiritual Barrier around the user or any nearby allies within ten meters from the wielder, which can negate up to 80% of Damage dealt as long as there's enough Mana.

[Spiritual Connection]: This weapon is imbued with special magic and jewels capable of channeling the power of spirits, if the wielder has any contract with spirits, this bow can easily meld with their power or even their spiritual bodies, enhancing the damage dealt and effects of Magic Arrows and other techniques by up to +150%. Additional effects are applied depending in the spirit's elements.

Meanwhile, Emeraldine's Bow was the complete opposite, beautiful, white, and gold, with decorations showing feathered wings and having many yellow and white jewels incrusted across, infusing the bow with new magical power. It seemed to also have some sort of wood on it, which I had not seen before. But anyways, the weapon by itself was insane, It had an incredible set of bonus stats and even more amazing Skills.

She can now enhance her elements magical power, create magic arrows so she doesn't need to always use arrows that might run out, she can even generate a spiritual barrier to protect herself, and channel the spirit's powers into her weapon to boot!

"This is amazing!" I said, congratulating the two dwarves.

"It is honest work."

"That bow was harder to make, but we did what we could."

"What sort of wood did you used?" I wondered.

"Ah, we got some wood from that elf lass, she brought it to us."

"She said she had been saving it since she left her village, it was named Yggdrasil Branch or something, a gift from her mother."

"Ooh… Emeraldine never told me about such a family heirloom… I guess she really wanted to use it over her bow, didn't she?" I wondered. "Well! Now that we are done here, let's go bring this stuff to them!"

I flew away, quickly merging back with my other half, which was currently inside of Emeraldine's workshop doing alchemy. I was currently mixing several ingredients to make a new type of item.
