"I will forge your spear by tomorrow, it should become a worthy weapon on the same level as Realm Guardian soon," she smiled gently and said.
Orion nodded his head with an eager expression, "I can’t wait to see it." After a small chat, he bid farewell to his grandparents and stepped out confidently from the smithy.
Seeing him leave, Eldric’s expression turned solemn as he turned around, "That sword isn’t a Tier 7 sword, how many runes did you even put in that thing?"
Selene gave him a side glance, "Hmph! I need to ensure the safety of my grandson, even if I have to deceive him, and I didn’t lie. He can upgrade those runes if his Runesmithing level improves, since the material of that sword can be crafted up to Supreme Paragon level easily."
Eldric didn’t budge, "But the power of runes I felt from it... You didn’t just put Primary Runes, huh, you placed Advanced Runes in it as well?"
Selene didn’t bother to answer and focused on crafting the spear. Eldric heaved a sigh and shook his head, turning to look towards the gate of the smithy.
’Well, whatever. She is doing it for the good of that brat.’

As he moved through the garden, Orion called out in a clear, strong voice, "Uncle Edgar!"
Moments later, Edgar appeared swiftly from a nearby doorway, stepping quickly onto the garden path. His posture was attentive yet relaxed, a small smile forming on his lips upon seeing Orion’s enthusiastic demeanor.
"You called, Young Master?" Edgar asked calmly, curiosity flickering in his gaze.
Orion nodded eagerly, gesturing towards the sword at his waist, "Yes! Let’s head to the training grounds immediately. Grandma finished forging my sword—I want to test it thoroughly."
Edgar’s eyes briefly glanced down at the sword securely sheathed by Orion’s side, admiration evident in his usually calm demeanor. "Certainly, Young Master. I look forward to seeing your improvements."
"Improvements?" Orion dryly chuckled, "I first need to get used to its weight, Uncle Edgar. It’s my first time using it."
Edgar chuckled, "Don’t worry, Young Master, I’m sure you will do fine."
Orion shook his head and walked inside the mansion and headed towards the training room with Edgar.
This time, he didn’t head towards the weapon rack to pick up a sword, instead he unsheathed his dark beauty as it sliced through the air without any effort and he stood at the center of the training ground.
In his hands, Realm Guardian shimmered darkly, the obsidian blade absorbing the surrounding light with an intensity that almost made it seem alive.
Its intricate runes glowed softly with every beat of Orion’s heart, echoing his mana flow in a rhythmic pulse. The sword felt incredibly natural in his grasp, almost as if it had always belonged there.
Edgar took his place opposite Orion, calmly picking up a sturdy practice sword from the nearby weapon rack.
His movements were precise and smooth, the very image of a seasoned veteran who had faced countless battles. His expression was calm yet expectant, eyes filled with curiosity and anticipation for Orion’s progress.
"Let us begin whenever you’re ready, Young Master," Edgar prompted, maintaining a neutral guard stance.
Orion nodded once, a focused expression forming onto his face. He gently flexed his fingers around Realm Guardian’s hilt, briefly hesitating before infusing a delicate stream of mana into its core, carefully adjusting its weight.
Immediately, the sword shifted perceptibly, becoming feather-light within his grip.
