Chapter 61：Like the Movies

Three years passed in a flash. Now, Rean, Roan, and the kids from their classes are already Eight Years old.

With the Nari Tribe's alliance and to protect their Tribe and Zafa Bank behind their Workshop, the Tribe as a whole had been having a peaceful life. Juri also made sure to strengthen the relationship with the nearby Tribes, making them understand that their Tribe has no intention of becoming some tyrannical power that will get tributes from them.

During these last three years, the Varen Workshop in the City also increased in size. But not to the point where they would become a threat to big blacksmith clans. They only forger a specific number of Steel Weapons per month. Once they were done with it, no new equipment would come out until the next one.

Juri's plan was very simple, he doesn't want to catch too much attention. Their Varen Tribe is just too weak at the moment. If they start to expand, maybe others will target their Tribe as well. The Tribe is already doing great with the number of Spirit Stones they are getting at the moment. Once their Tribe gets stronger, only then will Juri think about increasing their Steelworks business.

Back in the Varen Tribe, Rean and Roan achieved the Peak of the Energy Gathering Realm. The Body Transformation Realm was supposed to be faster than the Energy Gathering one. But with the Spirit Stones, it obviously changed. The difference in aptitudes could also be seen here. Diakar, even with Spirit Stones, achieved the Late Stages while Opril arrived at the Middle. Don't misunderstand, this is already an impressive improvement for them. Without the Spirit Stones, they had little chance to reach the Foundation Establishment Realm in their life. Still, Rean's Spirit Stones made such a possibility real.

Inna Malaka was also doing great with her monthly allowance of Spirit Stones. She already entered the Energy Gathering Realm and was would enter the Middle Stage anytime now. As for Rivio, the only Green Color Aptitude, he is getting close to the Energy Gathering Realm.

Inside the Tribe's Blacksmith Workshop, Rean and Erkil were creating something new. Or to be more specific, Rean was giving the orders while Erkil followed them. With the two working together, things were going much faster.

Rean took a deep breath and gathered his Light Element while looking at the liquid metal in front of him.

'Let's see if this works this time.'

Light Element and Spiritual Energy seeped into the liquid metal. Gradually the metal started a change until finally, the hot yellow and red color changed a bit into a white hue. Although it was mostly yellow and red, the white shade was still discernable.

"Success!"

Erkil's eyes also lit up, and the two of them immediately started the next process. By the end of the day, Rean and Erkil exited the Workshop with a new sword in hands. It had a blue color, but at the same time, there was a shade of white over it. This is a Spiritual Sword with Light Element imbued into it. As long as Spiritual Energy is sent to the Sword, it would automatically attract the Light Element in the surroundings.

"This is your first Spiritual Energy, so you should be proud."

Rean nodded.

"Yes. I could have created one a long time ago, but it would just be a copy of what the other blacksmiths' workshops did. I didn't want to waste such good materials like they always do. That's why I created this Steel Kaz alloy. It follows the same principle of the Steel. However, finding the right material, temperature, and timings for Element and Spiritual Energy took way too long."

Rean couldn't help but sigh.

'If I had Earth's precision machines, such a job wouldn't have taken so long.'

However, he was still very happy with the result.

After that, Rean and Erkil met Roan, who was training Inna and Rivio at the moment.

"Roan, I finished the Sword. Give it a try so that I can make some fixes later."

Roan didn't mind and grabbed the Sword. All that he knew is that Rean was creating a new type of Spiritual Alloy, nothing else. Once he poured his Spiritual Energy inside, it shined with blue color and white hue over it.

Everyone looked at that with bright eyes, it was really beautiful. However, Roan's mouth couldn't help but twitch.

Rean, on the other hand, seemed very happy with that view too.

"Good, the Light Element is gathering as expected. It can't compare to what I can do myself, but it is still a great boost. The Kaz Steel Alloy is also absorbing the Spiritual Energy with a higher rate than the normal Kaz Metal Swords. Let's see... How should I name it?"

Roan snorted and said.

"Name your ass! Isn't this thing identical to a Light Saber? I wonder if it will make that 'vromm' sound like the movies when I handle it."

Rean almost fainted!

"Light Saber? Fuck you! They don't look anything alike! Where have you seen a Light Saber with a Cross Guard? This is obviously a sword! Even the shape is different!"

Suddenly, Roan slashed the air with the new 'sword.'

*Vromm*

Hearing that extremely familiar sound, Roan glanced at Rean.

"What were you saying?"

Rean fell on the ground, almost crying already. Where did this 'vromm' sound come from? This is all a coincidence, alright?!

Roan then used his Spiritual Energy and made the Sword float a little. Although he could not make it float more than a few centimeters away from his body, that was enough for what he intended to do.

"Hey, look, I'm using the 'force.' I should be qualified to be a Jedi already."

Rean finally vomited blood!

At the same time, Erkil, Inna, and Rivio looked at those two with puzzled faces.

'Just what the hell are they talking about?'

A few minutes later, Rean finally recovered a little from his saddened state.

"Forget it, can you give it a test already?"

Roan nodded, but it was then that a question appeared in his mind.

"Hey, if this Sword is gathering Light Element, wouldn't it heal the cut that I leave behind in the enemy?"

After hearing that question, Rean's mood finally improved.

"Hehe. Do you think so?"
