Chapter 21

/ In a mountain /

Shin had returned to the mountain where he had trained so far.​​

Just in case he does some damage, after all it was a training so he wouldn't master much at first.

Accidents can happen quickly so he preferred to get as far away from his cave as possible or even from any civilization.

"It's time to use my points for the first time" Until now, Shin had never used his points, preferring to save them for when he needs them the most.

And that moment was one of them.

"System"

[Yes host]

"Buy me all possible spear and sword manuals with a maximum of 50,000 points."

Shin had 100,000 points, but he didn't want to waste them all on textbooks, he had to keep them.

[Textbook purchases on spear and sword skills]

[Merging the manuals of spear and sword mastery]

[1%]

[20%]

[70%]

[90%]

[100%]

[Merger complete]

[New manual create: Absolute art of the spear and sword]

"Absolute art of spear and sword... sounds like something very powerful" A drop of sweat ran down from Shin's forehead.

Just for the sake of the manual he understood that he had just created a very good manual.

A manual suddenly appeared before Shin's eyes.

The book looked quite ordinary, with a blue cover and made of the simplest paper.

But it would be if it wasn't for the golden aura it radiated.

This aura seemed miraculous and powerful.

The book that once seemed fragile seemed indestructible with this aura that accompanied it, it seemed to be a book that mortals could not touch or use.

Shin then took the manual that floated before him in his hands.

Once taken in his hands, the golden aura diminished and became thinner and less flashy.

Shin looked at the manual in his hands and inspected it.

"Analysis" said Shin to see more accurately its status.

[Name: Manual of the Absolute Art of the Spear and Sword - Rank: Immortal

Description: This manual is the product of the merging of hundreds of manuals on the art of sword and spear. It contains the most perfect basis for the art of spear and sword].

Seen this way, it may seem simple or even too simple for an Immortal rank.

And knowing that the manuals that have been merged were potentially already very level.

In order to have an Immortal rank, it was surely necessary to merge a large number of high rank manuals.

Moreover, the Immortal rank is one rank below the Divine and it should be remembered that the rank is not only based on one's universe but on all universes.

So this manual could be considered as one of the most powerful manuals of the multiverse for the art of spear and sword.

At the beginning, Shin didn't expect as much and the result received was well above his expectations.

It's not as if he wanted to become the God of the sword or the spear. But he knows that when he learns the manual 100%, he will be almost unequalled in the art of sword and spear.

But as he has always said, mastery is not enough, it must be accompanied by the strength that can handle and use it.

If you have perfect mastery in a weapon but not the strength and you fall on an enemy stronger than you then your perfect mastery would not be enough to take over.

Stop thinking about all this, Shin was about to start learning this manual when he realized that he had a small problem.

"I have no weapon" Shin sweated, wondering how he could forget the main thing.

How is he supposed to master the art of the sword and spear if he doesn't even have one of those two weapons?!

Being desperate for himself, Shin remembered something.

"The system had said that if I had the opportunity and the skills, I could create an Ultra Divine Weapon" Shin pondered the question.

He hadn't thought about learning how to forge for the time being so he had no skill in it.

And even if he had started forging as soon as he arrived in this world, he doubted that he could have created an Ultra Divine Weapon so easily.

For one thing, he wouldn't have the skills and for another, he wouldn't have the materials to do it.

So an Ultra Divine weapon is not an option.

A normal iron or metal sword or spear was not an option either because considering its strength, a normal sword or spear would be destroyed in just one blow.

Shin was now at a dead end so he asked the system for advice.

"System, do you have an idea?" He prayed in his head for a yes.

[Yes host, you can receive a free upgrade weapon]

"Unh?" Shin was surprised by his answer.

He wanted a yes as an answer but he didn't expect that.

"Why didn't you tell me earlier?" He asked curious and suspicious.

[Because the host had to have fulfilled some circumstances to receive this weapon].

"And what were those circumstances?"

[The host must have created his own art manual and be interested in spear or sword skills]

"What if I hadn't met those criteria?"

[You never would have known about it and never would have gotten the gun.]

But as if he felt like that wasn't everything, he continued with another question.

"And what is an evolutionary weapon?" Shin asked with a trembling voice to what he was about to hear.

[It is a low rank weapon that has the ability to evolve and rise through the ranks to the Divine rank].

He coughed up blood when he heard this deadly phrase.

If he had not taken the initiative to think about practicing the arts of sword and spear, he would have missed a weapon that could become a Divine weapon!

He felt as if he had been trolled. But he couldn't complain too much since everything he had so far was gone thanks to the system.

It would be ungrateful and disrespectful on his part.

Shin took a few breaths to calm down and become lucid again.

"Is this weapon a spear or a sword?"

From the beginning he had not yet learned whether this weapon was going to be a sword or a spear.

Although he didn't really care as he would have the same mastery of both so he didn't really have a preference.

[The weapon is a spear]

Shin didn't overreact when he heard this, he just thought it was rather original since most mc's start with swords.

"So could you please give it to me."

[Yes host]

Then in front of him, just like the manual, a spear appeared floating a few centimeters from the ground.

The reflection of the spear could be seen in Shin's eyes as he admired it.

It may have been low-ranking for now, but it already looked like a divine weapon.

(the laziness of describing it then the image in the commentary of the sentence)

Yet despite finding it beautiful, Shin couldn't help but wonder if he subscribed to the color green.

Everything he had been green, his clothes, his weapon, his flames, his Phoenix shape, everything!

He could understand that it was the color that most represented nature and life but still.

Even if he liked this color, he could overdose on it.

Anyway, apart from all that, he opened his personal space and put the manual there just long enough to look at the spear.

"Analysis"

[Name: ???? Rank: Rare (evolving)

Description: A weapon made of a very solid metal and known for its great beauty. A weapon considered indestructible in its same rank. It can be blood related to the owner allowing him to call it from anywhere].

"What a good weapon" Shin expected no less from a spear with divine potential.

He even had the option similar to Thor's hammer to call it.

He could put it in his personal space and call him whenever he wanted.

Then he bit his thumb to spill a drop of blood on the spear.

When the drop of blood touched the spear, the spear glowed brightly and Shin felt a bond created.

He could feel it and know where it was as well as call out to him to make it come to him.

He then took it in his hands as a small smile could not help but intrude on his face.

"What am I going to call you?" Thinking about his name, Shin thought deeply to find a name that he liked and was not too ridiculous.

But even as he racked his brains, he couldn't come up with a good name.

So he gave an honorary and powerful name that was not really a name but more of a title.

"You will be the spear of the God of Life"

Then Shin was surprised to feel the weapon tremble as if she was happy to receive this name.

Shin's smile was prolonged to move on.
