After checking the stats of my two "living weapons" and beginning preparations, I took out all the materials I was going to work on. I had absented the weapons from absorbing them through their special skill, as I wanted them to do that only when I was already transforming them and forging them. This time, I don’t want their Systems to decide their shapes, I’ll shape their next evolutions myself.

"Oooh, you’re finally starting!" Scarlet was excited, floating by my side, her blade was still broken, and I felt a bit of pity for her. "So what materials will you feed me, master?"

"A big variety, look!" I showed her.

There were almost all the materials I’ve gathered so far in Cloudia, plus many more from around the world or areas I’ve explored. There were the Sunlight Stones, the Soul Sunlight Stones, the Divine Sunlight Stones, and those corrupted versions too. There were also those giant spirit beasts... poop, yes, it was a bright and powerful crystal, so I was using it too.

Aside from that, I was also going to use some of the crystalized core of that false Yggdrasil we slain, the one that had captured the slimes. Oh right, the feathers from the golden phoenixes, which were also made of orichalcum... Sphynxiette said it was fine to use them.

And of course, Jupiter’s core! I brought a big enough chunk for both Scarlet and Sapphire, it contains tremendous amounts of divine thunder energy inside, charged to the brim with thunder spirit energy too.

And lastly, a lot of Monster Cores, I’ve already crushed them and processed them into a fine dust full shock of Mana, it’ll help me imbue all the elemental and magical properties I want through runic engravement of spells, the same way I was able to design the abilities and properties of the equipment I’ve made so far.

When I turned my sword and my shield into familiars, I was still rather novice at

Blacksmithing, and well, I still am, right? But since then I’ve improved a lot, nonetheless. So I feel more confident about it!

"Scarlet, I’ll have to tell you that I will change the shape of your sword a lot, I hope you forgive me." I said.

"Eh? How so?" she asked.

"Well, your current shape is cool, its lightweight, sharp, and very fast, but the thing is, it is because your blade is very light that it broke. We’ll be fighting even tougher enemies as we progress, and my powers will also become more overwhelming for you take on easily." I explained. "That’s why I was thinking on turning you into a much longer, heavier, and sturdier two-handed sword! Which I might use with one hand most of the time."

"A great sword then?" She wondered. "Oh, I had never considered that! It sounds... rather interesting? But do you have enough metal for all the blade that you’ll create?"

"Yes, I do, I got orichalcum and mithril..." I said. "I think I could create a compound between the two. Mithril is super hard to manipulate though, but with my skills it feels slightly doable? I’ll experiment. Also, I was considering the Divine Thunder Armament ability, should I make you into a permanent one?"

"I don’t know about that... Does it carry some weakness of some sort? Maybe if you turn me into one, I won’t be able to evolve anymore..." She said.

"I can tell that might be a thing, I guess we’ll experiment on that too!" I said. "Rest assured, I’ll do the best for you, Scarlet."

"Okay, I trust you, Sylphy." I could feel the gentle heat of her own, fiery soul touching my own hand. "Let’s do it, partner!"

"Sure!" I nodded.

She was my beloved sword, the one and only I was gifted when I was a baby girl, which I’ve carried with me all this time. Within her were the fragments of Beelzebub core and also Ignatius, I think. So it is indeed a potent sword with tremendous potential...

"What about me, master? Hey! Don’t ignore me!" Sapphire started complaining.

"Sapphire! You will get your turn soon enough, please be patient." I told her. "I got a lot of amazingly tough scales for you to fuse with as well as these same materials, your new form will be more condensed... I want to add into you a new function to reduce or increase your size too!"

"Oooh?! Sounds cool!" She was excited. "As long as I get something cooler than Scarlet, I’m fine with anything!"

"Cooler? I doubt you could ever compare to the greatness and sharpness of a blade; you shield." Laughed Scarlet.

"Mind your own damn business, you talking stick!" Sapphire groaned.

I still can’t believe there’s a rivalry between my sword and shield, it is one of the weirdest things that has ever happened in my life, and I just roll with it...

Well, I guess it comes with making inert items into sentient beings with developing spiritual souls inside, which made a familiar contract with me.

I guess Violet also counts as one like them, but she’s a cauldron. I think I’ll upgrade her within this week as well, so I can do even better alchemy.

Talking about Violet, she’s going to be useful here, so I summoned her, alongside Ignatius for his flames.

After all, what I do is a combination of both Blacksmithing and Alchemy to bring the best results out of my creations, which is apparently something rare.

However, the Witch of the Blue Mountain does do that, combining both and even going even further beyond.

And now that I got a few amazing skills at my disposal, it was time to begin.

First of all, my Special Subclass Ability.

"{Domain of the Alchemical Forgemaster}"

FLASH!

A domain of fiery flames and golden light surged around me, which quickly surprised the robots that were watching in silence.

Ding!

[You have activated the Subclass Ability: {Domain of the Alchemical Forgemaster}!]
