CHAPTER 154: It Was Also There

No matter how strong the metal used was, the spirituality and mana are still stronger that will surely break it.

Hunter took a look at it before pulling out his own sword.

"I can see that a lot of consideration were placed on this," he spoke.

Drake turned away when he heard this.

If he really wanted to use it as an apology for everything then of course he will use everything he got just to make it.

Saphira stared at Hunter's sword before furrowing her brows.

"Can I borrow yours," she asked.

Hunter looked at her and handed over his sword.

Saphira felt the blade and realization hit her.

"What's wrong?" Hunter asked.

Saphira shook her head, "Nothing, I just felt bad for our first family heirloom, I really overdid it."

"It couldn't handle your own mana. Could it be that it is close to its end?" Hunter asked her.

"I don't know myself, it could also be because the sword was used by Raynisha when she was corrupted," Saphira replied.

Soon the others have returned and they had their dinner before resting.

'Hey Vermilion Bird.'

Saphira spoke with Vermilion Bird with her eyes closed.

'Hmmm.'

'You were frowning when we were doing the adding of spirituality, you realized something right? That, why do you remember while the rest don't know when things should be done with the mythological beasts.'

'Yes, even the descendant of the one who created the first swords were unaware, I found it weird.'

'You remember that you also have no memories of the first hosts right?'

'Are you saying that it could be connected to that?'

'There is a chance plus when I held Hunter's sword a while ago, it was faint but I can feel it. It was also there, that mana...'

'...'

Vermilion Bird remained silent.

If that is the case, then surely the reason the swords could no longer be done was not because it takes the life force of the one making the sword.

But that was not the case because the two of them didn't feel anything about their life force being affected by what they did.

Which means the reason it was made to be forgotten was because the other mana is not available.

No matter how much one were to apply spirituality in the sword at most the power will remain half of it and nothing more.

Then people will wonder why was it the case and will search for what was different to the frist swords.

'Then that means this power should be forgotten as well? But why would it appear in the first place and then would be forgotten the next?' Saphira asked again.

There are so many mysteries surrounding this power that they were left with no clues at all.

'I have no idea, you have checked the history of Nembus Kingdom, surely this is what you are trying to find out,' Vermilion Bird replied.

'Well, I didn't find anything just that a power rose and helped to turn the tides of war as for who it was or what it was, the records say that it was a mystery for no one could remember. But I have an inkling that it is this power.'

'Better check the other histories for now. Then maybe you'll find more clues.'

'Do you think there is a chance for us to see more glimpses?' she asked him again.

'You already have a guess as to how it came to be,' Vermilion Bird answered.

'Things that could relate to the past, when talked about by the four of us or the two of you, Qirin I mean, we will have those glimpses but how do we know what kind of things are being connected to the past?'

'...'

'Lazy bird.'

Saphira knew that this silence was of Vermilion Bird saying that he has no idea and he don't care, he just wants to sleep.

'...'

Vermilion Bird remained silent.

Saphira rolled her eyes before turning to really sleep this time.

Though admittedly Vermilion Bird's action is right, they barely had any clues, trying to figure things out with these so little things, they will arrive to nothing.

It is better to wait for now and see how things unfold before doing more things.

The next day, when they finally departed to go to the next Empire, the rest asked Saphira about how she was able to apply the spirituality.

"Admittedly it wasn't easy..."

Then she spoke of how she and Vermilion Bird did it but she left the part of adding the other attribute to it.

"Do you think we can make more of it?"

"We can but as you all know there are only one specific mythological beast. Plus the requirement is that the mythological beast is capable of ending up in human form."

Controlling the strength in sliding ones arm on the blade and the mana you release, these two things are what allowed them to incorporate the spirituality of the mythological beasts.

She didn't want to dampen the mood that there could be a chance for Felix to have stronger weapon, because she wished that there is such a chance.

Since he had already came to help them then strengthening him is a good thing but its just that it is not possible.

The Phoenix that Felix held was a first tier one, it could speak but it could not turn into human form.

A beast couldn't develop further once it becoms an accompanying beast, the reason why the first tiers hated becoming one.

Because they are only a step away from becoming a mythological beast.

Felix smiled, he did have hope when the talk started but it wasn't that high.

So he wasn't truly disappointeed about it.

"But why can Vermilion Bird remember it when White Tiger couldn't?" Drake was the one who asked.

As the history that was passed down was about the Alphius ancestor being the only one who knew how to do it, this part became weird for him.

Saphira smiled, "That is a case I wanted to keep for now. There are so many confusing things that are surrounding it so it is better for all of us not to be distracted by it."
