Flexible Iron Boots. Flexible Iron Armor. Flexible Iron Gauntlets. Hardened Gold Blade.
Kanzaki Rei’s forging technique continued to evolve.
This "Basic Hamring Technique" could, in fact, be flexibly integrated with combat skills. With each repeated forging, every piece of Flexible Iron revealed more of its hidden properties.
Clang—clang—clang—clang—
The speed at which Kanzaki Rei shaped equipnt increased steadily...
One day. Two days. Three days...
Ti flowed on.
The majority of each day was spent at the forge.
Within future projections—
Kanzaki Rei devoted himself to studying enchantnts, as well as magic and combat techniques.
Enchanting was closely tied to magic. Through enchantnt, spells could be embedded into equipnt, granting items magical effects.
At the sa ti, he began researching low-tier spells.
His goal was to take the Origins he had comprehended and reshape them into spells—then spread them throughout the world.
He was also refining combat techniques.
The complete "Heavenly Flow" style was likely impossible for ordinary people to learn.
But building upon it, Kanzaki Rei constructed a simplified version—
A foundational "Battle-Mage Flow".
A stripped-down derivative of Heavenly Flow.
Sothing that could serve as his mark upon this world.
As for professions like Death Priest and Puzzle Scholar—
They differed fundantally from Warriors and Mages.
A Death Priest needed to spread widely recognized death.
A Puzzle Scholar needed to solve a mystery known to the world—and publicly reveal the answer.
The requirent to advance from Level 5 to Level 6...
Seed to be a declaration.
A declaration of one’s existence—
No longer an unknown entity.
"Spread widely recognized death..."
Ordinary monster hunting wouldn’t suffice.
"And Puzzle Scholar..."
He would first need to find such a widely known mystery.
In projections, he calculated and studied.
In reality, he forged.
Kanzaki Rei’s ti efficiency was five tis that of a normal person.
While others lived through one day—
He lived through five.
And within those five days, he also incorporated the results of thirty days of future research.
Yuna had said she couldn’t keep up with him...
That was only natural.
With his level of spirituality and ti utilization—
If she could keep up, he would have been ashad enough to end his own life.
April gradually passed.
Aside from Aegmisa’s ambush on April 1st—
The rest of the month had been relatively peaceful.
In just over ten days—
Kanzaki Rei forged hundreds of iron-grade equipnt pieces.
Each one was ticulously enchanted.
Not just armor and weapons—
Bracelets, pendants, even smooth pebbles—
All had been enchanted.
[Supre Inscription]
Everything could be enchanted.
Not just objects—
Even magic.
Even combat techniques.
When casting a spell or executing a technique, he could apply enchantnts simultaneously.
His magic had improved significantly.
A gentle fla flickered in his palm—
Then deepened into a rich violet hue.
It carried lethal poison—
And enchantnts.
Monts later—
The fla liquefied.
As it flowed, a faint dicinal fragrance erged.
Kanzaki Rei had constructed a potion directly through magic.
[Life Magic — Ultimate Perfect Healing Water (Tier 2) (LV: 501)]
This flowing magic was no longer re water—
It had beco a healing elixir.
A potion worth one gold coin per bottle on the market.
And this was an ultimate perfect version.
Despite not having the Healer class—
He could now heal through magic.
A clever workaround.
Rather than casting healing spells directly—
He transford magic into potion form, effectively replicating the act of drinking a healing elixir.
Even now—
He improved every single day.
For ordinary people, his daily growth would be considered a qualitative leap.
But to Kanzaki Rei—
It felt slower.
"...So this is what it feels like at higher levels?"
A full month of accumulation—
Yet no explosive breakthrough.
"I’ve stayed in Misirush long enough."
He had spent over half a month in the basent.
Today—
Was the day Yuna would leave.
Ever since her confession—
He had buried himself in forging.
Avoidance.
Perhaps he really did have a tendency to avoid things he didn’t want to face.
She was about to leave—
And yet, he had focused entirely on crafting.
Kanzaki Rei ran his fingers along a blade he had forged.
Sharp.
Its effect:
Amplify slashing power by ten tis.
Originally, it had only increased slashing power by 10%.
But after two enhancents—
It beca tenfold.
Just that forging effect alone—
Surpassed most rare materials.
For a Sword Saint—
It was equivalent to multiplying nearly all slashing techniques by ten.
This blade was undoubtedly stronger than most Tier 6 weapons.
The blade brushed across his fingertip—
Yet left no mark.
"...I should go see Yuna."
"And it’s ti for to set out as well."
The Land of Moon’s Gaze was a necessary destination.
And along the way—
He would likely encounter the location of that Forbidden Spell.
Perfect timing.
He could learn it—
And free up his wish slot.
With that thought—
He stepped forward.
In an instant—
He appeared on the streets of Aethelion City.
He planned to grab breakfast—
And bring so for Yuna.
The mont he landed—
His perception stirred faintly.
Next door, at a raw fish shop—
A silver-haired catgirl wagged her tail, devouring raw fish with gusto.
...
Why was there a raw fish shop next to a bun shop?
She looked familiar.
Kanzaki Rei searched his mory Palace—
And found her.
Recorded once on fla-inscribed parchnt.
Shumi.
The catgirl who had helped him in the Land of Oblivion.
A Level 5 Hunter.
She had said her holand was Misirush.
So they t again.
But Kanzaki Rei only glanced at her.
He had no intention of approaching.
If she had seen him in the Land of Oblivion—
She wouldn’t rember now.
Their connection had already ended in the past.
From here on—
They would likely have no further ties.
He bought buns.
Then two servings of soy milk.
With a single step—
He lted into the shadows.
And vanished, unnoticed.
Shumi continued chewing her fish.
Her ears twitched slightly as she glanced toward where Kanzaki Rei had disappeared.
Tilting her head—
"...Was soone there just now, nya?"
A voice called from behind:
"Hey, Shumi! You done eating yet?!"
She turned.
It was one of her party mbers.
"Stop rushing , nya!"
"If I choke on a fish bone, it’s your fault, nya!"
A human girl carrying a snow-white staff sighed.
"The last boat to Moonfall Isle is about to leave. If you don’t hurry, we’ll miss it."
"Got it, nya."
"But if I don’t eat enough, I won’t have any strength, nya."
Grumbling—
Shumi swallowed the entire fish in one bite, crunching through the bones.
"You can eat all you want after we get to Moonfall Isle."
"How can that work, nya? This al is this al, and the next is the next!"
