Reincarnated as a Son of the Sword Saint and the Sage
Chapter 187 Discovered Materials
"Two thousand nine hundred ninety-eight... Two thousand nine hundred ninety-nine... Three thousand!"
"You are getting better at counting, Yuki."
While sitting on my back, Yuki counted every time I pushed our weights off the floor. Once my push-ups reached the three thousand mark, Yuki hopped off my back before I stood up and then stretched my body out.
"Nnnh..!"
Earlier, Yuki had reached Level 700 and successfully grown another tail on her. After her evolution, she grew more mature and now looked a few years older than her first human appearance.
I am currently outside of the mansion on the 60th Floor of the dungeon and have been doing some exercises for more than an hour to kill time. Yuki had exerted too much effort earlier to level up, so she was taking a break for the day.
I was not the only one who was working some muscles here; Inari and Czarina were sharpening the blades of the weapons of their choice.
Cling!
Once they crossed paths, the silvery blade of Inari's naginata and the black lance of Czarina clashed against one another, causing the air around them to agitate tempestuously. That was a match between two legendary monsters, and monstrous damages were to be anticipated.
Inari stepped back and launched at Czarina once again. Using her advantage in speed, Inari swiftly moved Czarina and attacked her from all sides. But each slash of her blade seemed to be ineffective against Czarina because of the Immortal unique skill.
Czarina just smiled as she took the blade barrage from Inari and then swiped her black lance in a full circle with tremendous power and speed. Inari was sure caught by it, but she instantly raised her naginata and received the lance by the metallic pole of it, which created another turbulence in the air around them.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtUpon receiving the almighty lance, the collision of the clash pushed Inari back. Inari was blown away for a few meters but made a comical landing once on the ground.
Czarina lunged toward Inari at incredible speed and thrust her lance. Inari waited for the right moment before she meticulously parried the lance that was aiming at her shoulder.
But Czarina was way stronger than Inari, so she was able to force her lance back to the track, and instead of piercing the left shoulder of Inari, the lance smashed the side of her shoulder since the lance had passed its target.
"Ack—?!"
Inari groaned as the black lance hit her shoulder before she was knocked back by the force. Inari went flying linearly and then crashed to the ground as she lost her perception of gravity and sense of balance in midair.
Inari staggered on the ground and did not get up immediately. Czarina leisurely walked toward her and then pointed her lance at her head. And that decided the outcome of their mock battle.
"There was no way I could defeat you with weapons."
"Of course."
Once declared the winner, Czarina then lowered her lance and offered a hand to Inari for her to back up.
"Aw, it seems like Mother lost to Miss Czarina again."
Yuki muttered as we watched their match from a hundred meters away. After the match, Yuki was dispirited once she saw her mother's defeat.
"Well, it cannot be helped, Yuki. Czarina is just a lot stronger than your mother. But that does not mean that your mother is a weak individual at all."
Statistically, Czarina was way more powerful than Inari. Her stats were superior, but her abilities were broken. She had the ability to be indestructible and sustainable. So it would not be wrong if engaging in a fight with her was already one-sided.
"But really, your mother was already too powerful in the world of humans."
"You think so, Master?"
"Yeah, there was no doubt about it."
Mom and Mother were considered the most powerful individuals on this continent at levels of more than a thousand, and no one else had ever defeated each of them.
Meanwhile, Inari was more than Level two thousand and was way more than Mother. Though I still have no idea who would win in her fight with Mom and Mother together, but without a doubt, Inari was a monstress among monsters on this continent.
Inari was more inclined to magic casting and ability combinations, but she had the capability to fight back in close combat as well as have more cards in various situations.
She even developed a destructive technique that she could use to fight decently with the Fenrirs at close range, which she said she used to shred Czarina into pieces back then.
But speaking of the devil, Czarina was standing on the other plane, a dimension higher than Inari and my two mothers. Czarina was just too strong and powerful; I had to evolve myself and awaken a few ultimate powers in order to defeat her.
"Anyway," I said, and then we approached them. "Are you okay, Inari?"
"I am fine, Master." Inari responded after Czarina got her up. "No broken bones at all."
Once Inari had done checking her body, both Inari and Czarina then regrouped with us, with their own weapons in their hands. By the way, they did not use any weapon arts during their mock battle, but their performance was much more explosive than a final match of the annual martial arts tournament at the empire.
"How was the performance of your new weapons?"
"Well," Czarina said as she stared at the black lance in her right hand. "This lance is a lot more durable than the mithrill one."
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm"Same as her, Master. The new material used on this weapon definitely had more durability than the previous one, though its mana conductivity was slightly less powerful."
One time, I showed my four tamed subjects a variety of weapons for them to choose from if something caught their interest. Since they gained human forms, they could possibly wield weapons now.
In the end, Czarina chose a lance since she seemed to like its design. Inari picked a naginata because of its range. Yuki chose to wield a bow and a katana, while Griffith took a liking to a halberd.
Ever since they got their own weapons, they started to train themselves and practice how to wield them. After some time, they got used to it, and they were now able to use the art techniques of their corresponding weapons.
Previously, they used to wield weapons made out of mithrill. But the weapons could not withstand the power of Inari and Czarina and were now broken. But those were actually their temporary weapons for me to forge the mains.
The lance of Czarina was actually made of a new metal that I discovered while I was examining monster corpses, and that black metal was called Umbrium. It was a material made by mixing the crystallized body of an Abyss Slime with mithrill.
As for the naginata of Inari, the pole was made of Umbrium and was ornamented with orichalcum. While the blade was made out of a material called Knightium.
Knightium was acquired by extracting and mixing all the magnesium and manganese content of a monster. The appearance was significantly more whitish than mithrill, but its durability and mana conductivity were the same as adamantite.
Apparently, it was on the same tier as the blue adamantite, the red blood steel, the purple lavantine, and the green verdantine. In short, the black Umbrium and whitish Knightium were legendary-grade metals.
There were metals of another hue that were discovered as well, as I was researching, that had been forged into something.
"So, Master." Czarina walked to my back and spoke to my ear. "You said that you have a lot to do later, right?"
"Yeah. Many things happened today, and I had to settle some of them within this day."
Later this night, I will be spending a night with Mary. But that means that I would not be having a wonderful night with my two mothers. But I had to do this for the sake of future events.
"So Master will have to go home early today, right?" Inari said after the went to my back.
"That is why," I said, and then I grabbed the waist of Czarina and Inari. "We have to go to bed immediately and enjoy."
"Of course, Master." Inari and Czarina responded to me before we proceeded to the mansion.
