CH.423 Sword of Reality – Errelitea

And so, the day had finally come. No, not the day of the weapons competition, that is in like four days, but the day we are finishing my sword.

The blade of Space and Time will get its guard, grip and pommel, as well as its scabbard.

It was somewhat of a smaller operation compared to making of the sword itself, but we did still have four spirits here to help with some stuff.

First was naturally Athena. She was helping Karl shape the guard and pommel. Both of them will be made of orichalcum that Athena synthesized for us after the blade forging.

Second was Hegemone. She was in charge of shaping the grip. It will be made of world-treant wood and shaping wood falls under Hegemone’s domain, so she is taking care of that. She would also help with the scabbard, as it too will be made of world-treant wood. Wilma will be working on those parts with her.

The last two are of course Time and Space, Lachros and Iris. They are in charge of enchanting the blade. It already holds some enchantments from them and they just need to make sure those stick.

The making of the parts didn’t take all that long, only about 90 minutes.

From there, it was just the final assembly and enchantment and the sword was ready to go.

“Alright. Let me have a look.” I said, as I was ready to analyze the sword.

“No! Not yet!” Iris interrupted. “It needs a name first!”

“... we can name it later, can’t we?”

“Nope! Names are important.”

“... well, you and Lachros are the spirits of Space and Time. This sword holds the Blade of Space and Time, so maybe you should name it.” I told them.

After a bit of discussion between the two spirits, they named my sword.

“It shall be called the Sword of Reality - Errelitea.” Lachros announced. She then handed the sword to Wilma. “Miss Wilhelmina. You and Sir Karl are the ones who forged this blade and assembled it into a sword. You should be the ones to hand it over to its rightful wielder.”

Wilma did as asked and held the completed sword.

“... Brian. ... I don't’ really know what to say. I appraised the sword and I know what it is. ... it is what I always dreamed of... Thank you. Because of you, I did it. ... And this sword... I hope it can help you with the troubles we will face.”

“So please take it and use it to protect the world. The Sword of Reality - Errelitea shall cleave us a path to a brighter tomorrow.”

As Wilma said that, she presented the sword to me and I took a hold of it. I was so tempted to just analyze it on the spot, but instead, I took a hold of both the grip and the scabbard, before I drew the blade out for all to see.

It was definitely an experience and something I’ll have to get used to. This sword is ... maybe a bit too powerful for daily use, so I’m glad I still have my mithril sword for more casual use.

And I also have the Red-Eyes Black Dragon Sword if I want to kill dragons, not that it is likely, or if I just want a sword that can fly around me independently.

Since the sword was now ready, a new title appeared in the status of both Wilma and Karl, Legendary Weapon Maker. It feels a bit redundant, since both of them already had the Legendary Bladesmith title, but who am I to complain.

But on top of that, Wilhelmina got a bit of extra something.

Did you notice the difference? Wilma got her System Support upgraded from basic to standard. She got the basic level for making the metal ingot that would eventually turn into this sword and after the sword was finished, she got the standard version.

And because she did, she can now be in the Factory at the same time as her System Support.

... and I will neither confirm nor deny the fact that Wilma may have cried into Claus’ chest.

And don’t you dare to say anything. It's been a long day and Wilma is allowed to be a bit emotional meeting an appropriation of her teacher after many years and Wilma accomplishing an amazing goal.

And because I felt like I wanted to do something a bit extra for Wilma, I went back to the writing board and wrote a full suggestion for the System Agents on why ‘Designing’ should be added as a skill.

... I can now also have the suggestion backed by one advanced System Support and three standard System Supports, so the likelihood of it being taken seriously is there.

I soon got the suggestion submitted and then it was just a waiting game.

Not that we had to wait for long, because the very next day, Laura informed me that the System Agents and the Goddess had read up on my suggestion and they had even voted on it.

We didn’t exactly know for sure the results, but they did give us quite the hint on it. They said they’d reveal the results after the weapons competition coming up.

So yeah. I think that means they have agreed to add the skill, but it will just take them a bit of time to work out the details on that skill.

Maybe come up with facts like will it be an extra skill or standard. What kind of stats will it give to the holder. Is it going to be level based or just be a skill with no level and so on.

And in case you were wondering, I did make suggestions on those in the form I submitted.

I suggested it as a standard skill that boosts HP and mana, as well as possibly magic, but that was a bit of a reach. It would also help with mental arithmetics that you need while designing things.

But that is going to be a wait and see for us. All we can do is hope for the best.
