Nearly another week passed in the blink of an eye.
Even Tetsu no Sosuke felt as though someone had turned up the speed of time lately. It was simply flying by!
Today, he finished the Rock Pillar's Nichirin Blade.
A weapon like this had no need for a sheath or anything of the sort. The chain-linked flail and broad axe looked black and heavy.
Tetsu no Sosuke had made suitable adjustments to the size of both, allowing them to deliver even greater power without affecting their weight.
The Rock Pillar certainly could not bear to put them down, but Tetsu no Sosuke felt somewhat speechless.

As a result... the stat rewards had shrunk. Fortunately, he had the Nichirin Blade he had previously forged for that Swordsman to fall back on. That weapon had reached a sharpness level of 9, earning him some very good stat rewards.
Meanwhile, the non-stat rewards he received upon completing these two weapons were [Embedding Technique Guide] and [Divine Sharpening Technique]!
The former initially took Tetsu no Sosuke completely by surprise.
