Chapter 92: Shadow Dragon

"Family head, I will need some special materials for refining the rank 1 twilight sword."

After gaining the knowledge about refining the twilight sword, Buzz excitedly asked Lucas for some resources.

"Ask away."

Lucas was not stingy when it came to the weapons refining because he knew that sooner or later, he would get back everything he was investing in now.

"To refine the Twilight sword, I only need two items. Sun rocks and the blood of the rank 1 spirit beasts."

The young dwarf said only two items; however, Lucas was surprised to hear that he needed 'Sun rocks' because he already collected 100 sun rocks on the fourth day of his weekly mission.

"I have 100 sun rocks and as for the rank 1 spirit beast blood, I don't have it but I have a couple of corpses of the rank 3 spirit beasts."

Why would Lucas keep the corpses of rank 1 spirit beasts when he had the chance to keep the corpses of the rank 3 spirit beasts?

After Lucas and others started hunting in the 'Myriad primordial forest', every dinner in the Hellmore family started having the meat of the rank 3 spirit beast as it would increase the body constitution.

"For rank 1 twilight sword, I can only use the rank 1 spirit beast and with the grade of the twilight sword, the grade of the spirit beast will increase."

The young dwarf explained that he should only use the rank 1 spirit beasts' blood.

"Okay then. How much blood do you want? I will send it to you tomorrow."

Understanding how the twilight sword is refined, Lucas asked about the quantity.

"According to the knowledge I received, with one sun rock and one liter of spirit beast blood, I should be able to refine 10 rank 1 swords. So, the more rocks and blood I have, the more twilight swords I can refine. At the same time, I can gain more experience in refining which will help me to become a rank 2 weapon refiner."

Soon, the young dwarf mentioned the quantity he needed to which Lucas nodded his head.

"Until then, rest well. Once you receive the materials, you will not get the time to rest."

As soon as he finished his words, Lucas left the small weapon refining workshop.

'I wonder what kind of effects this twilight sword will have.'

After coming out of the weapon refining workshop, Lucas thought about the effects of the Twilight sword.

Generally, there are two types of weapons. They are regular weapons that didn't have any names whereas the other type was of weapons are called 'Special weapons' or 'Named weapons'

The regular weapons will have more or less the same effects for all weapons in a particular grade.

For example, a rank 1 regular sword will have around a 10 percent increase in its attack power or attack speed or any other effect. With the increase in the grade, the percentage of the effect will be increased and the number of effects will also increase.

As for the special weapons, there would be completely different and unique effects and instead of 10 percent, these weapons would have a minimum of 15 percent.

So, of course, Lucas was looking forward to the effects of the 'Twilight sword'.

'Compared to the rank 1 twilight sword, I am curious about the rank 3 twilight sword and I believe there will be a good skill for each rank 3 twilight sword.'

From rank 3, the chances of skills appearing on the refined weapons are very high and Lucas was expecting a skill to appear on the twilight sword also as it would increase the price of the weapon entirely.

"Anyway, to open a weapon store in the Silverstone town again he weapons pavilion, I need to be prepared. So, let's check how the guardian spirit beast of the Hellmore family is doing."

Next, Lucas thought about the guardian spirit beast of the Hellmore family with a slight smile on his face.

'Since it will take some time for Buzz to become a rank 3 weapon refiner, I need to help the guardian spirit beast in increasing its strength.'

Soon, with a thought, Lucas disappeared from his place and appeared in a dark space where Lucas could see two light yellowish eyes staring at him.

"Fireball"

Lucas summoned a fireball which floated in front of him as it lit the entire dark space and a huge black-coloured spirit beast was lying on the ground.

"Welcome to the guardian lair, master."

As soon as the cave was lit, the spirit beast stood up and respectfully greeted Lucas.

'Ding,

Spirit beast:- Shadow dragon (Excited).

Strength:- Peak grade 4

Skills:- Shadow beam, Shadow clone, Dragon wing, Dragon breath and Shadow sleep

Special skills:- Shadow binding, Dragon roar and Dragon rage.

Information:- A shadow wyvern that evolved into a shadow dragon after consuming a beast evolution crystal. This guardian spirit beast had just recovered from all its previous injuries and yet to use the residual energy from the crystal.

Soon, a holographic screen appeared in front of Lucas giving all the details regarding the shadow dragon.

"Master, all my injuries are completely healed and I can start preparing for the breakthrough to the rank 5."

While Lucas was reading the skills of the shadow dragon, the dragon replied to Lucas in an excited tone.

"No wonder you are excited."

Lucas already saw the dragon's status on the holographic screen and nodded his head before saying, "I am waiting for you to become a rank 5 spirit beast."

"Yes, master."

The shadow dragon nodded its head as it knew that Lucas was planning something in the Silverstone town and he needed powerful backing.

A rank 5 shadow dragon will be a good backing for him to do whatever he wants to without fearing anyone.

"Here are the two corpses of tier 1 general assassins." 

Lucas threw two corpses on the ground before leaving the Guardian lair.

"Until Buzz can create the rank 3 weapons, I will completely focus on increasing my Knight rank and Assassin rank. Also, I have to find another intermediate spell to become a Lesser mage."

Soon, Lucas started planning for his near future and went back to his secret training room to complete his usual training before going to sleep.

...

Next day,

"So, has everyone decided your 'spirit beast sacrifice' before becoming the lesser knights?"

Early in the morning, Lucas and everyone gathered in front of the raindrop manor as Lucas asked the ten young squires with a slight smile on his face.

"We decided, family head."

All the young squires nodded their heads with great excitement before today, they would officially become a Knight.

Moreover, according to Lucas' promise, they would become the official members of the Hellmore family.

"Good. Let's go."

Nodding his head, Lucas and everyone started walking out of the manor; however, Lucas saw two middle-aged men walking towards the raindrop manor.

Behind those two middle-aged men, there were a dozen young men and young women around the age of 15 years, walking with sad looks on their faces as though they lost something precious in their lives.
