Building a forge

Shittu was so excited that after he was excused by Licht. He disappeared with speeds that could not be processed by the other orcs. Licht and the group went to their personal rooms.

Meanwhile in Shittu's room, he sat cross-legged. His tattoos were shimmering but in a dull manner. They slowly started to get brighter till the entire room was filled with a bright light for the entire night. He had closed the blinds before trying to cultivate in order for the lights did not escape the room via the windows. He was in his room for three days. After he was finally done with this little cultivation session, he chose to bid Licht farewell as he knew he had delayed for a while.

Stepping out of his room, he walked out of his room. As soon as he stepped out the room, a guard saw him and pointed his pole arm at Shittu and requested for reinforcement.

"Halt. Who are you and why are you exiting the emperor's chambers?" The guard yelled threateningly.

Shittu was quite confused but before he could even speak, more guards came pointing their weapons at him.

"Stand down. It is I, your emperor." He spoke with authority but the guards stood unfazed and ready to attack.

They launched towards Shittu about to attack but then they heard Licht's voice. "Stand down. That is actually your emperor. His appearance has actually just changed a bit."

They were confused but decided to stand down as the orc looked a bit like their emperor albeit far younger. Shittu was more confused than the others, he looked into a mirror far away and was shocked.

His tattoos were all gone but he did not feel weaker, instead he felt far stronger than ever. He noticed his white hair was now glossy black, all his wrinkles were gone. He looked like a heroic orc warrior.

(To help visualize the difference a little, His current form is like Skaar, son of hulk while him before cultivating is like Maestro hulk except with tattoos)

His fangs and tusks looked slick and clean, unlike how they looked before, battered by age. His height had even increased. He was normally four meters but now he had increased to six and from the cultivation technique, he knew he would continue till he became colossal. It was good that the growth can be controlled, he instantly reduced his height back to four meters.

"Sir Licht, how did I become so young again and where did all my tattoos go?" Shittu asked still quite confused.

"Your tattoos powered up the technique and right now you are already in the intermediate purple rank but you have the combat strength to fight peak purple ranked people and even some gold rankers." Licht examined Shittu.

The guards around were all surprised that their emperor now had such strength. It should be known that the strongest people on the continent right now were Shittu, Daello and Priscilla respectively (Obviously excluding Licht and his group) and now with Shittu powering up massively, he had given them a big gap. If Daello and Shittu had a battle in the past, Shittu will come out on top but with some injuries. Now if there fought, Shittu could end the fight in just one move showcasing the difference in strength currently.

"Sir Licht, I still cannot feel the level of your cultivation. If I may ask, what level are you on?" Shittu wanted to spar against Licht but he still could not feel Licht's strength yet. Licht was like a black hole, he could see him but this man held so many mysteries, his probing senses felt like it was absorbed into Licht.

"Well, I am above the purple rank. You are currently in the basic purple rank but I have far exceeded it." Licht shrugged

There was only reverence in the eyes of the orc emperor because he knew how hard it was to reach the purple rank and yet Licht said he had exceeded it. Meanwhile, the orc guards were staring at their emperor with the same reverence. They already felt Licht was abnormally strong seeing his disciple to square off against their emperor but now knowing that their emperor was currently the only person in the purple rank on the continent except Licht, they had this sense of pride in their hearts.

"Let's celebrate my breakthrough. Call the children, the grandchildren even the great grandchildren. It is a time for celebration. HAHAHA" After hearing Licht, he knew facing Licht would be a lost cause so he just chose to celebrate with his loved ones.

There was a party, feast, banquet, whatever anyone wanted to call it and it went on for another five days and finally it was time for Licht and the group to depart. Sloane was a bit sad to leave the orc empire as they were all nice to her but knowing she was going with Licht, she quickly cheered up. She also wanted to take the axe she used in the spar but Regallas promised he' would smith one befitting of her.

He also felt glad that he could finally smith. The last time he forged a weapon was when he was in the elf kingdom, Belzoheim. Licht already had a naginata he made himself, the twins barely used weapons, his dual bladed staff was perfect for him and now he could even create weapons from ether and Midas could summon weapons from the soul summons, but finally, Sloane needed a weapon and he felt he should step up and make something special for her.

They used the carriage and embarked on another journey to their final stop before leaving the continent. With the exception of Licht, they were all excited as this was the first time they'd be leaving the continent and they'd be away for a long time.

Regallas was currently preparing the materials to start forging the axe for Sloane. He already had the metal ores but he was trying to build a proper mobile smithing forge. After drawing up a plan in his head, he proceeded to build the forge when he finished, Licht helped to make some modifications to the forge and it now looked good.

It was 3 meters in height and width. With metallic casing, It looked like a carriage but it was only built for forging.
