Raikou!
Huo Yuhao's eyes widened in disbelief because he saw one of the girls, Minamoto-no-Raikou, sleeping inside a crystal that fell from the sky.
However, he couldn't help but question her sudden appearance.
Why now?
After eight years of monotonous days, Huo Yuhao became overcautious regarding random events and things. He has prepared enough to fight the Phantom Lord with everything he has accumulated.
"Evo, did you sense any negative signs?"
[No, Host]
Huo Yuhao sighed in relief and vanished from the mountain peak, arriving at the crystal's side. He grabbed the falling meteor-like crystal with one hand and stopped as if it were a fallen cotton.
He stared into the crystal with the Ancestral Eyes of Heavenly Dao and noticed Raikou was in a deep sleep. Even her soul is asleep.
Kacha!
Huo Yuhao put a bit of strength into the crystal to shatter it into pieces, leaving the perfectly intact Raikou. The milfy servant is still wearing the summer dress with a white coat above it.
[Her soul is in a state of Eternal Sleep]
[You can't wake her up with a 'common' method]
[It's...]
"It's a curse, I know." Huo Yuhao already diagnosed Raikou's condition.
Medical Skill is one of many things that Huo Yuhao developed after being trapped in the Stasis Timeline. Thankfully, he had abundant test subjects here.
As Huo Yuhao thought of a method, his eyes suddenly lit up.
Huo Yuhao used the Concept of Plundering, robbing the Eternal Sleep's curse from Raikou's soul. He also used the Cursed Divinity from the Cursed God to swallow the curse.
[Ding! You have swallowed Phantom Dream Curse]
Huo Yuhao digested the power of the Phantom Dream Curse and snorted as he looked up. "There, huh?"
"No wonder I couldn't find something wrong about this realm." He gazed at the full white moon in the sky.
Even though the planet's side is still in the middle of the day, the white moon still hangs in the sky. The sun is still the brightest, providing the perfect cover for the moon.
"Little Bastard, I finally found you."
Huo Yuhao carried Raikou like a princess and stepped into the mountain peak, folding the space like a walk in a park.
Huang Qiu'er and Kuina are puzzled by his sudden disappearance, but their eyes widen at the sight of the unconscious Raikou.
"This is..." Kuina doesn't know Raikou, but Huang Qiu'er does.
Huang Qiu'er hurriedly entered the hut and prepared a futon for Raikou, allowing Huo Yuhao to place the sleeping milf on it immediately.
"Master, this person is?" Kuina curiously looked at the motherly woman.
Huo Yuhao smiled, "My woman."
Kuina raised her eyebrow at his answer, but Huang Qiu'er found nothing wrong because Raikou was definitely Huo Yuhao's woman.
"Her name is Minamoto-no-Raikou. She was one of the girls like Qiu'er who followed me to this world." He added gently.
"I have been looking for her for the past eight years. Today, I found her in the falling crystal meteor."
'Master's smile...' Kuina knew Huo Yuhao was gentle, but she had never seen him this gentle before.
Unknown to Kuina, Huo Yuhao was even gentler when he was with Huo Yun'er, Qianye Ying'er, and Scathach.
Huang Qiu'er sat beside Huo Yuhao and asked, "When will Ms. Raikou wake up?"
"Soon." Huo Yuhao answered calmly.
...
...
Workshop.
The sound of a hammer hitting iron echoed in the cave wall.
The burning forge lit up the area, framing a blue-haired young lady in her training.
Clank!
Ckank!
Kuina summoned her Clear Sky Fairy and held an azure-black hammer in her right hand. The little creature imitated Kuina's movement, creating shadows in the air.
The shadows struck hot iron, shaping it.
Huo Yuhao sat on the side, watching her silently. His mood lifted because Clear Sky Fairy is such a versatile Martial Soul. Its function is similar to his Palu.
In fact, Huo Yuhao was very careful when guiding Kuina to develop the Clear Sky Fairy.
One wrong mistake when absorbing Spirit Ring and Clear Sky Fairy would get ruined forever.
[Name: Clear Sky Fairy (Awakened)]
[Type: Tool-type/Living Spirit (Variant)]
[Potential: SSS]
[Description: A mutated Clear Sky Hammer that developed the spiritual form of a fairy, possessing destruction and creation power. The Clear Sky Fairy has undergone a second awakening and gets a little wisp of Nebula Thunderfire, enhancing its origin further]
[Essence Flame: Nebula Thunderfire's Wisp (99.5% Sealed)]
[Spirit Skill: Shadowy Sky, Sunny Sky, Cold Sky, Cloudy Sky, Azure Sky, Royal Sky, Clear Sky Fairy's Avatar (Sky Queen)]
Even though Clear Sky Fairy's spirit skills sound simple, each possessed the ability to aid Kuina in battle and blacksmithing.
Kuina could control the weather in an open space.
Meanwhile, she could use her spirit skills in a closed place like this to assist her blacksmithing.
After hammering hot iron for minutes, Kuina is 'awfully' drenched in her own sweat. She breathed and forced herself to do one more hammer strike, marking the 100,000 tempering.
BAM!
Huo Yuhao gazed down at the shiny piece of iron on the anvil. Kuina has tempered it thoroughly, making it stronger than some heavenly mineral rocks.
She even imbued it with her spirit, granting it spirituality.
"That's the 100 pieces," Kuina murmured. "With these, I can do it."
Huo Yuhao smiled, "Are you planning to make another blade?"
"I thought Crownless and Irony have treated you well all these years?"
Huo Yuhao is talking about Kuina's katanas.
Kuina made her first weapon, Crownless, six years ago.
Her second weapon, Irony, was three years ago.
Kuina rubbed her nose, "Crownless and Irony are my good friends, but they can't keep up with me. I can't be too emotional with them."
"But I will definitely make them stronger later!"
"Well, I will support your decision." Huo Yuhao chuckled.
"So, what are you going to make?"
Kuina looked down at her hammer and then beamed smugly at Huo Yuhao.
"I want to try new things. So, I will make a Tachi!"
