Final Preparations
After having them become little pieces of nothings, Tongqiu then prepared another unused mold as the put all of those pieces on top of it while the rest of the minerals were melting he went back towards the mold that was still holding the not even cooling down melted Light-Defying Paper Sheet.
He took some other materials and minerals to burn at fast speeds on another little section of the magical furnace as he took out a mortar and pestle where he only grabbed onto the pestle and used it to grind onto the little pieces. As it was a Magical grade item before, the little pieces became sweet powder of nothings with the slightest of push from the pestle, let alone as they were handled by a session of grinding, they probably became even smaller than powder itself!
As it happened, all the auxiliary minerals and materials were successfully melted and some heated to their maximum capacity. Tongqiu then moved the less-than-powder-like Magical grade previously known as Sunfacing Brilliant Gladiuses towards where the melted Light-Defying Paper Sheet's mold and added them to the 'mix'.
After doing so, the less-than-powder material became somewhat peculiar as it constantly jumped in and out of the melted liquid that wasn't cooling down in the slightest, as if in joy and basking in happiness.
He used another mold that was mainly to mix all those previous auxiliary materials and minerals in one as he kept on pouring it full of melted liquid from different sources while he had to hit them down with the hammer to some of them who were not supposed to be completely melted before also adding them to the mix just like he did with the less-than-powder material.
He then went to pick up the pair of melted Glassy Sun-Absorbing Rock that finally melted completely and the Purple Sun Silver Crystal that has also finally melted and picked them up with their respective recipients as he moved them somewhere close to where he was about to start working on the melted Light-Defying Paper Sheet.
After leaving the two recipients, he first picked up the previously melted Glassy Sun-Absorbing Rock mineral with his right hand and with his left hand, the mold that held lots of auxiliary melted items as he also put them rather close to where he was going to work with the melted Light-Defying Paper Sheet.
Things were about to get difficult.
He first took a little of water from the magical bucket with a smaller bucket from the fundamental tool box, as he then poured it all on the melted Light-Defying Paper Sheet, he then quickly after took it out and began to first upset it so as to increase volume but only for a little before he started to draw out, though he mainly peined it so that it would be a slightly longer than his previous Sunfacing Brilliant Gladiuses.
This continued for a long while, as he then abruptly stopped hammering before bringing the thick as a needle 10-15 centimeters wide blade to the forge once again so as to heat into an almost melting state!
Dashing back towards the 4 recipients of melted items that weren't cooling down thanks to the incredible properties of the Prominent type of items and their Magical grade.
He took another mold as the 'main' mold was to be put away for the moment. This mold was clearly smaller in all directions and was either the handle or the handle and something else... Something special.
He first poured half of the auxiliary melted items on it completely before taking out a Magical Obsidian and letting it fusion with the oh so hot melted into liquid tons of different items, he mixed it for a little with a fire iron from the fundamental tool box as well before pouring down a lot of the Purple Sun Silver Crystal right after.
He once again mixed with the fire iron before adding the rest of the different amount of melted materials into it, fully depleting its mold into nothingness as he threw it backwards as it disappeared with a little blink after having emptied it.
The mold that everything was just poured into was now about to flood the rest of the mold but Tongqiu insisted on keep on mixing it, that is, until he saw a glimmer come from the bottom of the mold, a purple yet obscure colored glimmer took place almost indiscernibly as Tongqiu then stopped mixing it.
He teleported a large and robust box into his hands as he rapidly took out another mold, this time it held a longer and barely deep on its shape as Tongqiu made a few changes to it. At the moment of opening the Prominent Fundamental Tool Box looking for a mold for creating a slightly long blade, this was what came out from inside it and it couldn't be any more perfect right now!
He shaped it so that it'll have slightly more depth while its length was much more accentuated instead. He then took a hold of a different side of the mold with his hands before separating it. Shockingly, one mold became two, and of the same shape and form!
After checking them both one last time, Tongqiu put them on top of the worktable as he then transferred from the little mold into the longer ones, half for each. After doing so, he allowed basked it in some more water from the Prominent Magical Bucket before hammering down on it, once again barely upsetting it a little at the beginning before furiously hammering it down in a drawing out matter a little before only peining it however he wanted.
There were strange vein or root-like patterns of a purple color all over both of the long molds.
Tongqiu then took both of them as he placed them into the forge where he could once again rapidly heat them up at maximum, while he was at the forge he once again took the blade that was already about to melt as well as he once again took out the 'main' mold before incorporating it back on top of it once again.
Tongqiu then poured the rest of the melted Glassy Sun-Absorbing Rock that was firstly melted onto it completely and the remaining 1/6 of the Purple Sun Silver Crystal before starting to hammer it down furiously; first shaping it a lot before upsetting it some more for a good while, as he did so, the long molds in the forge were already once again melted down. He then went back to the forge to pick them up before taking out the unfinished item on top of the 'main' mold as he threw the other two long ones into a blink for they to disappear.
He then went back to hammer the still not solid entire liquid as the mold was then shaped to have a slightly protruding handle on it.
That was when he finally poured onto it the rest of the Glassy Sub-Absorbing Rock that melted after the first recipient and he didn't go for a bucket of magical water as he simply kept on hammering it down without a stop and at full force with the intention of drawing out at its maximum!
Once the unfinished item had reached its maximum length, Tongqiu then went for a small yet pretty long bucket of water that had certain 'holes' on its body as he then went back to the worktable and place it on top of it, right besides the 'main' mold. Any other recipient or mod had already been put back into the fundamental tool box.
Pouring a lot of water onto the mold at once, Tongqiu then began to upset it with the intention of making up for the previously overextended shape of the solidifying melted liquid, he then began to shape it directly on his own with even more hits for a long time before finally starting peining it.
He wasn't doing so as other even advanced grade blacksmiths would though, because he unlike others, had Mental Power!
Tongqiu spared no effort so as to induce his hands, hammer and even gloves and the entire mold with his Mental Power, not for protection or accuracy, but for the simple matter of communicating with the unfinished item!
That's right, though such 'communicative' items would only be capable of appear from Spiritual(Brown) grade items forwards, it was not even 1% of all of those said graded items as it was incredible rare and unique!
He had read in the Forge and Create that a sentient weapon or equipment and even accessory isn't born from the blacksmith's job but rather, the heart and connection of it and its user! Yet Tongqiu was as of right now, giving them his entire collection of memories, desires and nature. He was trying to connect with it, he had previously an inkling towards having some kind of idle chatter with them for as momentous and ephemeral as they were as they actually had some kind of response, right now he was exactly doing what anyone would probably have wished as a child and probably even after, connecting!
His Mental Power traveled without the slightest intention of transforming into powerful and undeniable Mental Prowess, remaining amicable and even showing solidarity.
Tongqiu was being both, their master and their creator!
Brshhnn~~!
A sudden, melodious and filled with an incredible spirit for battle sounded out from every hit he made towards the molds. After a few minutes from having been surprised, he kept on hammering the molds down before finally bringing both of the molds towards the Prominent Magical Mobile Pool, there fully solidification was soon to be finished!
Splash! Splash!
Both unfinished items were put into it, Tongqiu's entire body freezing as if to keep them company as even the handle of each of the weapons were inside, the entirety of their body was inside the magical mobile pool!
'Come on... work...'
Tired and his entire body sweaty as well as pained of tiredness, Tongqiu chanted mantras of all kinds that he invented for their well-being and his mental state. If he failed, fine, if he lost his two pals, BAD.
After all, he'd be beyond stupid and ignorant if he was to say he didn't know how come his two 'low graded' Magical pair of Gladius were so incredible and actually magical all about from. That old man and 'his' daughter were of anything simple man, they were if anything, really fucking omnipotent for them to have given Tongqiu so much in so little and so easily.
"Come on... come out!!" Tongqiu yelled out at this moment, his entire face disfiguring and even becoming ferocious to an extreme as he pulled them both out, his Prominent Gauntlets almost becoming ice themselves!
With them being surrounded by an ice-like cocoon while being handled by Tongqiu, and Tongqiu being topless with that freezing beyond a mortal's knowledge type of temperature and properties, Tongqiu felt his entire surroundings slow to an even slower than a snail's pace as he investigated them with both his naked eyed and intuition as well as his Mental Power.
An instant after having taken them out, as if the previous scene had never taken place, Tongqiu went towards the Prominent Magical Anvil, putting both of them on top of it and holding them with the Prominent Tongs as he began hitting them down, over and over again...
Time passed by...
. . .
Step, step, step...
A couple of steps that were coming from two bodies moving towards Tongqiu were heard as they cautiously and silently made their way towards him from the distance.
Tonkia and Irllytia were almost nakedly walking towards Tongqiu, they only had a few silk-like strips that went from their shoulders to their thighs, not doing anything to cover any of their breasts nor already plowed garden.
There was also another strip of an even thinner shape and form that was acting as a long necklace as it hung from their necks yet only went down the middle of their chests and barely stopped above their pelvis.
CLANK CLANK CLANK CLANK CLANK CLANK CLANK CLANK CLANK...
The non-ending amount of sounds from metal clashing against metal or so, the women looked at each other while also being both worried and proud in some ways. Looking back at the path from where they came from, they 'saw' a soundly sleeping Tornyllia that they've already allowed to have a real rest in her life for a while on an actually used bed, ahem.
CLANK CLANK... Clank Clank Clank Clank Clank...
Clank... Clank... Clank...
Slowly but surely, the hammering downs of plethora of sounds stopped. The woman and young woman, more accurately, took a large hop towards Tongqiu before finally running up towards him.
Tonkia's cheery voice came first: "Tongqiu~~! Have some rest~~!"
As Irllytia's voice came right after: "Tonkia is right~! We are getting a little hungry too~~!!"
As tempting voices that carried a lot of goodwill descended upon Tongqiu's oh so sensitive ears, he rested his entire back on his hips as he let his back arch backwards while his soon-to-be-formed new pair gladius finished 'coming to be' into this world.
This was inevitable, the use of the magical mobile pool made one's forging item to become more and better than any other item that didn't follow the path of a modern and progressive blacksmith. It didn't made it more beautiful or colorful, it made it more powerful and worthy to be called a true weapon!
With a foolish on his face after seeing both incredible ever becoming powerful women, Tongqiu waited for their arrival while his old pals finally emerge from their eclosion.
Creak-creak-creak...
"Mn, take your time..." Tongqiu wanted to say more and comfort them so as to avoid any accident but then, both of his old pals began creaking unceasingly!
Pupils constricting and iris enlarging, Tongqiu watched a pair of more heroic than beautiful yet still indescribably gorgeous pair of Gladiuses be born into the world.
Both of them had a kind of powerful reflective nature as they were 20 centimeters wide and 3 inches thick as well as 91 centimeters long! These blades were endlessly more powerful and heavy than the Sunfacing Brilliant Gladiuses by a lot yet it was also slightly larger. They had their center take a milky white pattern that resembled that of a broken thick and long blade that went as large as 61 centimeters long and 6 centimeters wide though not consistent in its wideness. The rest of the blade was basically of a strong yet utterly obscure silver color, yet when light directly descended upon them, they brightened up completely as they became that of a pure and shining silver color. Their edge was incredible that which is characteristically of a gladius, not really threatening and overextended yet they were truly more fear inducing than the sharpest of knives!
Strangely, there were some vein-like purple marks on them both of the blades that were almost indiscernible when dark was not directly touching upon the blades, because once they did connected to any source of light, they emitted a hellish of a strong and even slightly blinding purple hue that threatened to leave marks on even space itself as they became more and more pronounced by themselves. Even the edges of the blades would emanate both a silver, flaming and purple aura-like hue from the edges of the blade in a three-linear fashion; first, the nearest one was the silver aura-like hue, followed by the flaming aura-like hue and finally the purple aura-like hue. The three of them were identical in everything except in color, and the fact that the silver was the shortest one while the purple one was the largest from being the one at the outer circle.
The handle was of a mix between mahogany and burnt sienna that had a short and thick 't' shape. The grip was decorated firmly by a root-like entwining root that strangely made it easy for Tongqiu to maneuver with, while the rest of the 'decorative' part of the handle was rather unique and inconsistent in colors.
First, it was of the same color and patterns than the grip but it was much more in volume and was obviously not recommendable to try and grip upon it, Tongqiu even thought that it'd bring harm instead. Then, at the middle of the 'decorative' section of the handle, it had a really small protrusion of a dull purplish-dark gem that seemed to actually come from a large amount of crystal-like substance that was partially hidden from view because of the roots encompassing the entire handle. Even the part where the grips was at had a little part of that gem peeking out from below its extremity.
When direct light shone upon it, the entire handle turned to that of the same color as before, but with a paint pass over that 'tainted' it to an entirely purplish-dark color instead.
'Wow.' he hadn't even seen the real information from the system but Tongqiu could already see how incredible it had become.
At that moment he received a prompt from the system which he mentally responded to automatically without thinking...
