Chapter 263

The sword was so damn long that it was quite hard to tell whether it could be used or not.

“Can you let me wield it?” Tsukasa asked.

“Sure.” Goibniu nodded and said, “Take it. Also, you should try it on the yard on the back.”

Tsukasa nodded and took the sword.

The sword had a mix of black and a golden color on its handle and a pure black on its sheath. It didn’t have a “tsuba” (crossguard) between the handle and blade. It was just a handle, blade, and sheath. It was just a sword that described simplicity.

If there was one thing that made this sword different from another sword, the handle and blade were too long, which made them wonder whether this sword could be effectively used.

Tsukasa held the sword without hesitation, and somehow everyone could feel the aura around him start to change. The sword in his hand was like a wild horse that would rampage through everything, but it calmed down and became docile under his hands.

They felt everything about him was so serene and breathtaking by his beauty when he held the sword.

The members of the Goibnui Familia, who had been watching their god craft this sword, felt helpless, wondering why he had decided to make this thing for free and even wanted to give it to someone, but when they saw Tsukasa holding this sword, they somehow understood the reason why their god wanted to do it.

The blacksmith was, of course, wanted to make the best weapon, but at the same time, they wanted their weapons to be held by the right person.

The right person to wield this sword was, without a doubt, Tsukasa.

Tsukasa didn’t hesitate and walked to the yard, while everyone also followed him subconsciously. He stood in the middle of the yard and slowly took out the sword, quietly, steadily, observing every part of the blade.

The blade was long and sharp. It was slender with a moderate curve. However, the unique thing about this sword was its black-colored blade with waves-like patterns adorned on the sides of the blade. The patterns also had a black color but with a lighter color than the blade.

It was so beautiful, and Tsukasa couldn’t take off his eyes.

Tsukasa saw his reflection on the blade and couldn’t help but smile.

“……”

They didn’t know why, but when they saw him holding this blade, they felt a palpitation in their hearts, but then they saw him swinging his sword to the sky, making them dumbfounded.

His swing wasn’t fast.

It was firm and steady, but everyone could see how it could cut anything.

However, they were confused as to why Tsukasa aimed this swing at the sky. Still, when they looked up, they opened their mouths wide as they saw the cloud on the top of them was sliced in half.

“……”

‘N-No way, right? It’s just a coincidence, right?”

None of them wanted to believe that the cut that happened on the cloud happened because of Tsukasa.

However, Loki and Goibnui knew very well that the cut on the cloud was done by Tsukasa. They took a deep breath and could confidently say there was no other person as good as him in terms of technique, even in heaven.

Still, Ais’s eyes were blazing, feeling wanted to become stronger, but at the same time, she felt frustrated by her growth, considering she hadn’t become stronger for a while.

“Goibnui-sama, what’s the blade made of?” Tsukasa asked and put the blade on its sheath.

“It was made from various metals. It has the resistance of Oricalchum, the highest magic conductivity of Mirthil, the lightness of light metal, and the elasticity of Hihiirokane. I also used my knowledge of blacksmith over it, making it the sharpest blade I made in this world. However, that was also the reason I had to make its sheath and handle from a large holy tree, so it wouldn’t be cut down by the sword.”

Goibnui explained the attributes of this sword one by one, but in a simple explanation, this sword was sharp and indestructible.

Tsukasa instantly fell in love with this sword, but he somehow felt reluctant to pay for it. After all, Goibnui wanted to give him for free, and he could tell this thing was expensive. Goibnui wanted to give him for free, so why should he pay?

Still, Tsukasa had promised Loki, so he asked, “Goibnui-sama if I want to pay this sword with money, how much is it?”

“…You want to pay it?” Goibnui was surprised.

“Yes.” Tsukasa nodded and said, “I am sure it won’t be cheap to make this sword.”

Goibnui looked at Tsukasa for a moment before he looked at Loki. He understood the reason why Tsukasa wanted to pay, but he could only sigh and say, “It’s 500 million Valis.”

“……” Everyone.

Ais, Lefiya, Line, Alicia, Tiona, Riveria, and even Loki couldn’t say words, and they could only open and close their words.

It was so expensive!

This was what they thought at that moment.

Tsukasa suddenly saw the universe in his mind, and he almost staggered.

“Tsukasa!”

They quickly helped him to stand up, but they also somehow understood why he would show such a reaction.

“…500 million Valis?”

“Yes.” Goibnui nodded and said, “It might be the most expensive weapon I have made on the earth.” Then, he looked at Tsukasa and asked, “Can you pay it?”

Tsukasa looked at Loki, but this woman quickly looked away. He rubbed his temple and thought for a moment before he nodded. “I can pay for it.” His words were firm and confident since he believed he really could pay for the sword.

Anyway, in the worst case, Tsukasa could rob the guild since he believed they had a lot of money there.

Goibnui laughed when he heard his answer and nodded. “You don’t need to be in a hurry. You can pay me anytime.”

“Thank you for your understanding,” Tsukasa said and sighed in relief.

“Now that you mention it, you haven’t named this sword. How about you name it now?” Goibnui suddenly asked.

“Name? This sword?” Tsukasa looked at his sword in a complicated manner. While he loved it, he also felt complicated since it gave him a huge debt!

‘500 million Valis…’

Tsukasa somehow wanted to cry. His net worth was around tens of millions of valis, and he knew he could pay for this sword, but it still felt uncomfortable to be burdened with this much debt. He took a deep breath and said, “I have decided the name of this sword.”

“Oh? What’s its name?”

Everyone was curious.

“The Drying Pole.”

“………” Everyone.

They were lost for words and felt speechless, but they must admit that name was suitable for this sword, considering how long it was that people could mistake it for a drying pole.

However, Goibnui laughed and said, “That’s a great name! Let’s call it the Drying Pole!”

Right now, at the moment, the most expensive sword made by the god of the blacksmith was born in this world, and its name was the “Drying Pole.”

Looking at this sword, Tsukasa let out a helpless sigh and thought he needed to work hard to repay his debt with this sword.
