Death... and me

Chapter 2970: Out

Because this wasn't the Soul Gem Blacksmith Workshop, it took much longer for Rean to finish the two weapons. The rays of light of the next day already began to appear in the sky, which was now much easier to see. Very few airships of the various powers still remained in the capital, and several of them continued to leave from time to time.

Rean raised Roan's White Star Scythe and couldn't help but nod in satisfaction. "Oh yeah, that's the stuff."

*Zush!*

Rean immediately threw it at Roan, who had his eyes closed while cultivating. Rean gave him absolutely no warning, and his head would be pierced through were the Scythe to hit. However, Roan moved his hand at the last second, grabbing the Scythe just a centimeter before it entered his eyes. Only then did he open his eyes. "Not bad considering the equipment."

Rean nodded, not surprised at all. "Right? To be honest, the equipment here in this Mortal Planet is amazingly good. After all, they have known circuitry formations for over twenty thousand years since the Werdlem Empire arrived. Even at this moment, you would be hard- pressed to find a forge as good as this back in Lisan. Of course, it still pales compared to the Soul Gem Blacksmith Workshop."

Rean then took his Black Star Sword and thought about the attack Diliy used against him. "Even with his impressive Sword Intent, I refuse to believe it would be enough to cut this little baby in two."

Roan got up and brandished the Scythe a few times. "Well, don't forget Diliy used a wooden sword and no Spiritual Energy or Elements. If he did, it is possible that even these new weapons you forged won't resist the power."

Rean narrowed his eyes. "We definitely need to pay a visit to the World Splitting Sect. By the way, what do you think about Diliy's Sword Intent?"

Roan had been thinking about it for a while already. "Back then, it looked like his Sword Intent had dissipated. However, after thinking about it, I believe it just concentrated inside his wooden sword. The fact that he could use the Fourth Level of Sword Intent with a wooden sword without breaking it was already impressive enough. And yet, he went a step further. Perhaps the trick is to concentrate the Weapon Aura into a single point as much as possible."

Rean also thought about it and activated his Sword Aura. During the fights on the platform, Rean had to change into a normal sword after he started to use the Third Stage of Sword Intent. That's because he couldn't prevent the wooden sword from breaking if he used the Third Stage with it. Diliy, however, could do it, showing the difference between the twins and him. "I don't think it is all about concentrating everything into a single point. After all, that would make one part of the weapon stronger while the rest would suffer."

Roan had to admit Rean's words made sense. The Scythe Aura then began to enter the Scythe, but instead of concentrating on a single point, Roan created a line inside the Scythe with Scythe Aura. "Like this?"

Rean had the same idea and created the same line in the very center of his sword. It did look like the Sword Intent had disappeared as well. "We can only know if we give it a try."

Without thinking twice, Rean and Roan attacked each other's weapons. They didn't use any cultivation energy or elements, though. After all, they were trying to simulate what Diliy did back in the airship.

*Clang!*

A chip of the Scythe and the Sword flew off, much to Rean's surprise. "That's unexpected. My weapons weren't supposed to be this weak."

"They aren't," Roan confirmed. "The problem was that the concentration of Weapon Intents inside left the edges of the Scythe and Sword unprotected. Our idea of making a concentrated line of Weapon Aura inside the weapons definitely isn't the right answer."

Rean sighed and took Roan's Scythe from him. It was only a small chip, so he could fix it. "We will have more opportunities once I meet with Diliy. Let me fix the weapons, and then we can leave this place."

Roan sat once again and began to speak of their next steps. "The Sunlight Realm is supposed to open as soon as the festival in the capital is over."

Rean understood. "We agreed with Klifon to meet him at the entrance. We will be joining the Parton Sect this time around."

Roan snorted. "It was more like they gave Klifon no other choice but to help them. Well, I doubt Klifon will be the only Sun Urpin present. That Xitian we saw in the auction is likely to be there as well."

"So... we aren't going to the World Splitting Sect or Lincae Sect for the moment, right?" Rean asked back.

Roan obviously nodded. "We learned about that so-called Divine Werdlem Stone. According to the information, you can't break through into the Void Tempering Realm without such a thing. Our system is different from the Werdlem Stones, so we might not need it. However, we don't know. We might need the Divine Werdlem Stone, after all."

*Zush!*

Rean threw Roan's Scythe back to him. "Then it is decided. The Sunlight Realm it is." Roan quickly put the Scythe away and took out two bottles. "Here, new hair and eye colors. Let's change our appearances before coming out of this workshop."

The two immediately activated Rean's Body Transformation Technique, changing the very structure of their bodies and faces. Following that, Roan's pills made sure their usual trait of pitch black and snow white hairs didn't come up either.

Walking out of the Blacksmith Workshop, a few Spiritual Senses immediately passed over them. Sure enough, there were still a few eyes on the twins. Rean and Roan didn't care, though. At the moment, they were two completely different people with a simple Core Formation Realm cultivation. Those Spiritual Senses only lasted a second before disappearing. The people trying to watch them ended up thinking the twins were still in the workshop. Above all, Rean rented the Workshop for three days, and there were still two days to go. Until that time was over, everyone waiting for the twins would think they were inside.

Around an hour later, Rean and Roan paid for another teleport formation and left the capital without anyone knowing. Their next destination? The Sunlight Realm!
