Chapter 1558 Soulslasher
1558 Soulslasher
'Swoosh'
Ajax had already finished the daily quota of his pill refinements. So, when he heard Rurbeak's loud laughter, he hurriedly flew over to Rurbeak's workshop.
"Rurbeak, congratulations on becoming a professional legend-grade weaponsmith."
Looking at the sword in Rurbeak's hand, Ajax congratulated the dwarf with a slight smile.
"Master Ajax, thank you."
Rurbeak was excited as he finally achieved his dream of becoming a legendary weaponsmith with a success rate of at least 50 percent.
"Also, this is a special high-grade sword I have refined for you, Master."
Suppressing his excitement, Rurbeak offered the sword to Ajax.
As a dwarf, Rurbeak was not interested in using the weapons he created. Instead, he would be happy to see the weapons he created to excel in the hands of his Master.
"Thank you."
Ajax didn't hesitate to take the weapon because all the weapons created by Rurbeak were either to be sold to others or given to his subordinates depending on the attributes of the weapons.
Since it was a special high-level legend-grade sword, Ajax didn't mind using it if he could find some useful effects attached to it.
The sword has a distinctive and striking appearance. Its blade is crafted from high-quality steel, displaying a brilliant polished finish. The blade features an elegant, slightly curved design, tapering to a sharp point.
The hilt is wrapped in fine leather or perhaps a more exotic material like dragonhide, providing a comfortable and secure grip for the wielder.
In short, the newly refined sword was a little better than his old sword, the Inheritance Sword.
'Anyway, let's see the effects of this weapon.'
With a thought, the information about the weapon appeared in front of Ajax.
'Ding,
Weapon Name: Soulslasher.
Weapon Grade: High-level Legend Grade.
Effect: With a single strike, the host can slash through the souls of his enemies that are more powerful than the emperor realm.
Note: 1) Of course, it could only injure those above the emperor realm and at the same time, the host's soul power will be consumed by a huge amount.
2) With the current sea of consciousness and soul power, the host can release three strikes that could injure the demi-god realm cultivators.
There was only one effect; however, Ajax knew it would be extremely useful to him. Not only could Ajax kill the high-level emperor realm cultivators but he could also injure those above the emperor realm cultivators.
That's right!
The realm above the Emperor realm was the demi-god which was only one realm away from entering into the God Realm.
'Let's not think about the demi-god realm or god realm; instead, I should focus on my current missions.'
Ajax shook his head and stopped thinking about the realm above the Emperor realm.
'With this sword, my chances of taking down the Golden City will increase.'
Even though Ajax thought about it, he still didn't have any plans to attack the Golden City.
'The day I become an Emperor realm cultivator is the day I take down that Golden City and take control of the entire Metal region on the Floating Island.'
According to the information that Ajax has collected from the Gold-winged young man before killing him, the floating island has a total of five regions and the young man's father is the ruler of the Metal region of the floating island.
"Rurbeak, this weapon is quite good."
Coming out of his thoughts, Ajax commented about the sword and continued, "So, when are you going to start your preparations to break through to the Mythical Grade Weaponsmith?"
Since Rurbeak was able to refine a special high-level legend-grade weapon, he was not far from becoming a Mythical Grade weaponsmith.
As long as he uses Mythical Grade metals and with enough practice, Rurbeak could become a Mythical Grade Weaponsmith.
"Master, I want to increase my success rate from 50 percent to at least 80 percent before focusing on refining a Mythical Grade weapon."
However, Rurbeak shook his head and shared his future plans.
"We still have four years left on this floating island. By the time we leave the floating island, I hope you can achieve that goal."
One day in the real world was equivalent to one year inside a floating island. The floating island was a good place for time-taking professions like Weaponsmithy and Alchemy which required lots of practice.
Hence, Ajax asked Rurbeak to continue his practice of refining special high-level legend-grade weapons.
The higher his success rate in refining the special high-level legend-grade weapons, the easier it would be for Rurbeak to refine the Mythical Grade Weapons.
"I will definitely achieve that and even try to refine a Mythical Grade weapon before we leave the floating island."
For Rurbeak, who could not fight, the only way for him to help Ajax was by refining weapons. The higher their grade, the more useful it would be for Ajax.
"Take these Legend Grade metals and use them for practice. Once I become an Emperor realm cultivator, I will find some Mythcial Grade items for you."
After giving large quantities of metals to Rurbeak, Ajax left Rurbeak's workshop and paid a visit to his fiancee Siora.
During her one-year seclusion, her cultivation increased by a single minor realm which was quite an achievement.
'Once I break through to Emperor Realm, I can also help her become a peak emperor realm cultivator in no time.'
Ajax could increase her cultivation with the World Essence extracted from the world cores.
Of course, he promised Siora about that as he wanted Siora to put all her efforts into increasing her cultivation such that Ajax could push her cultivation even further with his world essence.
After visiting Siora, Leo checked on his two re-cultivated beasts, Raweth and Sparrow who had already become the Emperor's realm beasts and consolidated their cultivation in that realm.
'Everyone around me is becoming the Emperor's realm cultivator. I should also become one soon.'
That was the only way for Ajax to take his revenge on the Golden City and at the same time, he could find some Mythcial Grade healing items for Snow.
