Ever since he returned from the unexpected visit to the Khaos Domain, Ery had been staying at his residence for a full two weeks. When he finally got out and hit the streets of Silvermane, he was surprised to see that the city was much busier than the last ti he had seen it.
Apparently, with the Royal Hunt taking place in a little over two weeks, all sorts of half-bloods had co from all over the Silvermane Planet as well as the neighboring Wolf planets.
After taking the sight of bustling streets filled with various kinds of people, Ery made his way to the renowned blacksmith workshop. He decided to visit the place because he wanted to inquire about his broken Tier 3 dagger.
Monts after he handed over the dagger for analysis, Ery could see the master blacksmith's eyes widen. When asked what was wrong, the latter evidently turned excited upon discovering a legendary soul embedded in the weapon.
"Oho…" the blacksmith muttered as he continued to scrutinize the Tier 3 dagger. "I've never seen a legendary beast stuffed into such a lousy weapon before… I honestly don't know how I feel about this…"
Ery rembered that he had taken the dagger to the blacksmith at the Golden City in the past, but other than to take ownership of the dagger, he never really asked about the soul embedded into the weapon.
[Moon Dagger - Tier 3]
[Superior Quality]
[Weight 0,9 kilogram, length: 35 centiters]
[Enchantnt - Blessing of the Moon]
[Enhances the use of strength by harnessing the Moon's power]
[Legendary Beast Soul - Moon Wolf]
Apparently, despite the fact the Moon Wolf was not a Mythical magical beast, it was considered a unique soul. One that was especially useful on the Silvermane Planet, which had such a radiant moon as its satellite.
Taking his eye away from the dagger, the blacksmith stared at Ery and said, "Young man, I am willing to buy this broken dagger for one hundred thousand. What do you think? It's a great deal, isn't it!?"
Ery quickly narrowed his eyes at such an offer. He might not know much about blacksmithing or beast souls in particular, but he definitely knew that such a beast soul was worth much more than a asly 100,000 spirit stones.
"No thank you."
After rejecting the offer, he then proceeded to look for a replacent dagger, the one that best suited the soul. It didn't take long before his attention was drawn to a dagger, which was made of a Tier 5 teiruite, tal that was similar in weight and length to the broken dagger.
The thought of binding the soul into a sword had once crossed Ery's mind but was quickly dismissed as he already had two spectacular swords in his possession. Moreover, while there was no doubt that the enchantnt was unique, it was undoubtedly a situational type, as it only proved effective on nights when the moon was full.
Making up his mind with certainty, Ery requested the full service of soul tempering and binding. The service fee and weapon weren't cheap, costing him a total of 145,000 spirit stones.
The process would take one day to complete, thus Ery decided to leave the workshop and head to the Apothecary Center again. When he arrived, he was imdiately greeted by a group of familiar people.
As it turned out, the chief researcher, Grand Master Reikun had beco slightly exasperated since Ery had not co to the Apothecary Center for two weeks. The man who was a perfectionist, really hated to see his project left unfinished.
To Ery's surprise, the grand master had prepared three different pills for him to test, naly [Booster Pill - 7003], [Booster Pill - 7004], [Booster Pill - 7005]. This ant Ery had to stay all day inside the facility for an in-depth analysis of the effects of each pill.
He took one pill every 12 hours and had his body tested every so often to see the effect each pill had on him. Ti passed like that, and finally, the multiple pills managed to bring so effect to his bloodline.
[Calculating ancestor blood essence percentage…]
[Gene purified]
[48% Twilight Fey wolf essence found]
One percentage increase, which left Ery with only two more percent before he reached the next bottleneck of his Rank 7 Fey Wolf bloodline.
Seeing the result of his efforts, Grand Master Reikun looked quite relieved. Albeit small, this success also boosted his confidence, leading him to believe that he would be able to create a much better pill for Ery before the Royal Hunt began.
"Please co more often, I would like to do more tests"
anwhile, while he was at the Apothecary Center, Ery did not forget to stock up on three more [Spirit Explosion Pills], which were sothing he would definitely need for ergency situations.
By this ti, it had been more than a day since Ery was held in the Apothecary Center which was perfect timing. He headed straight to the workshop because his dagger was just in ti to be picked up.
[Moon Dagger - Tier 5]
[Masterpiece Quality]
[Weight 1,2 kilogram, Length 38 centiters]
[Enchantnt - Blessing of the Moon]
[Enhances the use of strength by harnessing the Moon's power]
[Legendary Beast Soul - Moon Wolf]
After that, Ery went back to his residence and imdiately asked for sparring with the old chief and the other two, wanting to test his improved dagger. Their training grew more and more intense as the day of the Royal Hunt drew near.
Over the next few days, Ery continued to deepen his training on the sword, dagger, and claws while occasionally returning to his [mory sphere] to be further reminded of his forgotten fighting skill. He also went back and forth to the apothecary center. For the special pills and also make the most of the facility to recreate new potions.
Another 10 days had passed, and the Royal Hunt was only four days away. The city was so crazily packed with people that hundreds of camps were ford in its vicinity.
By this ti, the three girls, who had also finished their task, returned to the residence. To Ery's surprise, they brought a familiar guest, the rebel Frostmind.
The fact that the man had still decided to co to the center of Silvermance City to look for him could only be bad news.
"What is it?"
Ery predicted many things the man might want to say coming here, but what he was actually asking for was so unexpected that it caught him off guard.
"Evan, please let join your pack for the Royal Hunt!"
