Chapter 418 Weapon Spirit Rowan did not hesitate and he threw the blade into the swirling blue wind, and Lady shrieked. He heard notes of surprise from the weapon, and then there was anger, when the blade began to slowly disintegrate, he began hearing notes of sadness and plea, before resignation. The range of emotions he was detecting from the weapon was astonishing and he was surprised at how much the weapon wanted to cling to life. Rowan hoped he had not made a priceless mistake. He dismissed every form of disquietness in his heart, knowing that the results would be worth every sacrifice. What happened next surprised him, and reminded him again about how much knowledge he needed to find and understand. The weapon disintegrated into bits that were smaller than dust but there was a noticeable difference. Lady was a large blade more than six feet long. Whatever material was used to make it should not be more than a few tons in weight, at least that was what Rowan had expected. What escaped from the disintegrated blade was something more… much, much more. Rowan's sight darkened as the vast space of the Hollow Forge was filled with countless specks of various colors that should measure more than 500 million tons in weight. His jaws nearly dropped as he did not expect a Great blade like Lady would be made up of materials that could build ten cities. This broke every law of reality that he knew, yet he was not too surprised as he was expecting something like this. Rowan discovered that the higher a being went on in power, no matter if it was a weapon or a Dominator, their bodies became increasingly more complex. Each god and Archmage was like a world unto themselves. He recalled using the eyes of Ohrox the Demon prince of Destruction to peer at the Archmages around him at the Covenant and seeing the images of worlds around them, perhaps his analogy was closer to reality than he thought. The rushing sounds of the materials being sucked into the portal above were thunderous, as more and more gray dust kept appearing. It took an entire hour for the components to be sucked entirely into the portal above and Rowan could only watch in shock. The components used in the creation of Lady were enough to fill an entire moon or even a planet! It was no wonder that weapons such as these were rare. To produce it was a monumental undertaking that few could ever achieve, most likely this blade was created by a godly power, for it was impossible for any mortal smith, artificer, or alchemist to make something like this. Yet it was not over, left behind was something else, that could not be disintegrated by the Hollow Forge, for it was alive. A red specter that resembled a woman appeared, she was kneeling and her face was covered by her hands, as she appeared to be weeping. Her dress, her hair, and her skin were all red, and Rowan was intrigued because she felt like a soul yet she was not. Yet she shared enough properties with a soul that Rowan could easily manipulate her, and so he drew her to him. Rowan made her remove her hand from her face, and what was exposed was smooth with no discernable features. Delving deeper into her structure he saw that she was very complex, and although he tried communicating, his efforts were futile, as it appeared as if she could not understand anything he spoke. Sighing, he kept it away and focused on the materials used in creating the blade, and he swallowed. Adamantite—24,000,000 tonnes, Purple Twittering Stones—11,000,000 tonnes, White Copper—7,000,000 tonnes, Swordfish-King Bones 1,000,000 tonnes, Deep Earth Ores—43,000,000 tonnes, Azure Flower Spine— 67,000,000 tonnes…. The list went on for hundreds of lines, each line holding the name of a resource all weighing in millions of tonnes. With his experience, he understood that such materials could only be obtained after scrapping through different planets. Some of them were extinct for hundreds of thousands of years. Rowan could speculate that perhaps Lady had been created hundreds of thousands of years ago, and in the process of her creation, her makers had driven some species to extinction, as this weapon was not just made from metal, but also from living creatures like Swordfish King and so many others. Rowan soon beamed when he understood that Hollow Forge could not only replicate Lady, with the resources it collected, he could make two blades of the same quality. His Knowledge Well had gone through the entire configuration of this weapon and was able to improve the methods it was pieced from. The understanding of how to craft this God Killer weapon began to stream into his consciousness aided by Knowledge Well, and it took thirty seconds for this data inflow to be completed. This process brought along unexpected benefits and he could feel the space around his Consciousness pillars beginning to ripple, it was apparent that soon enough, a new pillar would be created, which was amazing because each new pillar was harder to create than the previous ones. Then the expected bad news arrived. The Hollow Forge could perfectly replicate the blade, even improve it, and make two blades of the same quality, the only catch was that There was only one Weapon Spirit. That was the name for the Red Lady, it was called a Weapon Spirit. These creatures were born in areas of intense conflicts or could be found by chance when roaming the Universe. Each Weapon Spirit was unique, and even if he could find another and imbue it into the second blade, the effect it would grant would be different. Whatever abilities the weapons would gain were also random, and according to the instructions on the creation of such weapons, fusing a Weapon Spirit with a Godly Weapon was permanent. Special care was given to collecting Weapon Spirit from great sites of battle, those usually ended up giving the weapons powerful abilities, such as this Weapon Spirit's ability to poison souls.
