Having figured out the Honkai Beast's behavior patterns, Josen opened his hand again.
Dense, purplish-black Honkai Energy gathered in his hand, gradually extending to form a long, narrow tachi with a slight curve.
This was his first time constructing a blade, and Josen tailored it entirely to his own build.
As a result, this blade was longer than a typical katana, its roughly eighty-centimeter blade even approaching the length of an uchigatana.
Once the blade took shape, Josen quickly gave it another round of meticulous shaping and polishing.
It had a full set of tachi fittings, including a fuller, blade collar, guard, and handle wrapping, but no scabbard.
After all, this blade was only for temporary use, and once its construction was complete, he could manifest it again at any time with Herrscher Authority. There was no need to keep it.
For that very reason, Josen had not excessively reinforced this custom tachi, merely enhancing properties such as its toughness and strength to the level of the Subspace Lance.
Even so, this casually created weapon would qualify as a divine weapon in a professional bladesmithing competition.
With its construction complete, a long metal blade with a gleaming edge and a keen, imposing sharpness was freshly forged.
Josen swung it to test its feel, then raised his hand and slashed at the air. A dazzling flash of blade light shot skyward, cleaving a ten-meter wave rushing toward the island in two. The enormous spray shattered, lapping weakly against the island's edge before vanishing.
Thanks to his top-tier swordsmanship talent, he mastered all the blade's characteristics the moment he took hold of it. As he swung, the compatibility between man and blade immediately reached its peak.
Honkai creations came with their own Honkai Cores, allowing them to naturally contain powerful Honkai Energy.
