Auden’s Blessing
assistant">
A week later, I discovered that the knight’s sword contained ultimate fire magic—Odin must have infused it while I wasn’t paying attention. At the time, I had already spent so much on fire-element materials that I was nearly broke enough to sell my blood.
But even with magical assistance, that wasn’t an excuse to cut corners. After all, this was a competition of forging skill—the key was still the quality of the weapon itself. It took nearly ten more days, but with the help of those two assistants—who looked at me with dazed, almost entranced expressions every time they saw me—we finally completed the sword.
