Chapter 241 - Dwarven Weapon Shop

Kretos woke from his dream and he looked around and saw that he was in a room. He tried to organize his thoughts as they were a mess at the moment. That dream was so vivid it felt so real, and in that dream he was a demon a powerful demon. But in reality, he was a human... 

'What does this mean?... Those skills, that feeling, it doesn't seem fake...' The more he thought about it the more confused he became. Kretos got out of bed and decided to try to find a sword, the same heavy sword as the dream version of him used. 

The moment he went outside of his room he was swarmed by a group of people. Kretos had no time to deal with them so he used his bloodl.u.s.t to ward away the crowd. When the students and teachers felt Kretos's spine chilling bloodl.u.s.t, they all backed away. Even the bravest in the group could only lower their heads in fear. 

Seeing as no one was courageous enough to get near him, Kretos signaled one of them to come near. He pointed at a random person and that person approached him. 

"Do you know where I can get some weapons?"

"Yes, there's only one weapon shop in the school." 

"Oh, how about outside?"

"It has been a few years since I've been outside, I don't really know if there are weapons sold out there." 

"... Fine, lead me to the... What's that smell?" Kretos started to smell something weird he then looked at the person he was talking to. He saw that the person actually peed. 

"Just tell me the general direction and I'll go by myself." The person told Kretos where to find the shop and once he was done he fled from the scene. 

...

It was pretty hard to find the shop since it was located in a secluded area of the school. When Kretos saw the shop for the first time he thought it was an abandoned building. The only reason he stayed was because he saw some people inside lazily sitting on chairs. 

Upon entering the shop he saw two small people with long bushy beards. Their bodies were muscular, they look like middle-aged men with the height of children. Kretos has no knowledge of what race they were. 

Seeing the new customer the two were surprised, but then they noticed that the new customer was looking at them weirdly. 

"What is it lad, is this the first time you've seen a dwarf." 

"A dwarf?" 

"Yes, we're dwarves, so are you just going to look at us are you going to buy something?" 

"I'm looking for a large sword, give me the largest sword you have." When the dwarves heard Kretos's request they were rather surprised. Based on the uniform Kretos was wearing he was a student of the sorcery school. Most of the students here can't even lift a normal sword, much less anything bigger. 

...

After being banished from the Northern Lands, the twin dwarves thought that it would be good business to start a weapon shop in a human kingdom. Unfortunately the human kingdom they came to, wasn't a kingdom with many warriors. No longer able to leave, due to all the money they have spent opening the shop, the twin dwarves stayed in the Serbek Kingdom. 

The only income they get was when one of the mages wanted them to help create some new invention. No one actually came to their shop to buy weapons, but now someone did come and he asked for quite an unexpected weapon. The only weapon they had that fits what Kretos wants, was an old longsword they made before. 

"Are you sure you can handle such a weapon lad?" 

"Just hand me the sword, and you will see." Kretos looked at the dwarf, he stared back at him. The moment they locked eyes the dwarf instinctively knew that the one before him was a warrior like no other. 

"Sorry lad, but the weapon we have here won't satisfy you..."

"It doesn't matter just hand me the sword." Seeing how resolute Kretos was being, the other dwarf went to the back of the shop to pick up the old longsword. He then handed the sword to Kretos. 

When Kretos held the sword he started swinging it a bit. It felt too light, even if he can enforce the sword with his mana it wouldn't help. 

"Can you make a sword ten times heavier than this?" The twin dwarves were so shocked by the request that they almost stumbled.

"Ten... Ten times!" 

"So can you do it or not?" Kretos asked once more sounding a bit more impatient. 

"We could, but we need more materials. It would take a month or two to gather the necessary materials for your request. Also, the payment for such an order would be quite high, can you afford it?" 

Instead of answering Kretos reached out into the air, and a black orb enveloped his hand. He wasn't sure why, but he felt like he had the things the dwarves needed. Kretos then pulled out a bunch of items from the black orb. The dwarves were amazed by the treasures they saw appear before their eyes. As their eyes skimmed through the treasury, they noticed something incredible within the pile. 

"I... I... IS that, a dragon's bone! Based on the look of it, that just ain't any dragon's bone. It must have come from an ancient dragon or a dark dragon."

"Can you use this to make the weapon?" 

"Yes, with this we can make the weapon. We can make the greatest weapon ever!" The dwarven blood flowing through the twins' veins was boiling in excitement. 

"As for the matter of payment-" Kretos wasn't able to finish what he wanted to say when one of the dwarves interrupted him. 

"No need for payment. Allowing us to use such high-grade materials is enough payment. I would never imagine that after being exiled from the dwarven kingdom, my brother and I to be blessed with forging the strongest weapon. With this we can make a weapon that would match or even surpass the swords of legends!"
