Chapter 228: Rhapsodic Sonata (1/2)
”Wait…” Rakna tapped his forehead a few times as the system window somehow floated around him as if to taunt him. ”That was… possible?”
”{That's my line!}” Fray shouted. ”{Aah… I cannot let this get to me. The longer I stay with you, the harder it is for me to control my speech. As an honorable writer, it would only bring shame to my ancestors if I acted so crudely--}”
”Yes, I get it. Be as long-winded as you need. I won't blame you,” Rakna responded casually as he poked one of the twin katanas as if it would allow him to decipher their every secret.
”{…}”
”Ceres, do you know why or how this is happening?” The therian asked.
[I am not certain… I do not possess any sort of data on a past occurrence like this one.]
”I see… Now that I think about it, have I ever used Appraisal on my Sub-Spells?” He asked himself and triggered his skill on Juuchi Yosamu.

Description:
A blade forged by one of Earth's most legendary blacksmiths; Muramasa. It was crafted for a challenge against his master. It is a blade without mercy that cuts both evil and good.
⠀
Perk:
⠀
- 10 000 Nights of Severance: By spending 200 MP, the next slash of Juuchi Yosamu will ignore physical laws and cut whatever it is swung at. If used on nothing but air, it will nonetheless cut it and launch a flying strike that will not die out for at least a hundred meters.
⠀
Note: This is a replica made with magic that has reached such levels of perfection that it exceedingly surpassed the original myth. A mysterious power flows within this blade that makes it eligible to be considered an Item by the System.

”Would you look at that?” Rakna muttered with a hand on his chin. Most of the information on this window was already known to him but the Note was quite interesting. ”In other words, it's thanks to the Crystal Sage's power that I am able to raise this replica into something 'real'. I guess it falls in line with the ability to grant wishes; create something from nothing.”
He then paused as he thought of something. ”Create from nothing… Isn't that…?”
”{The Philosopher's Stone basic principle,}” Fray finished for him. ”{Hm, how curious. Is it merely a coincidence… or something more?}”
”Never trust coincidences,” Rakna retorted. ”That's one of the old man's main rules. If something is odd enough to be labeled a coincidence; never stop suspecting it,” he said and planted Juuchi Yosamu next to Yawarakai-Te so that they would make a cross. ”Sonata,” he spoke and the scarf turned toward him. ”Eat it.”
The scarf didn't need to be told twice. It twirled its fabric as if to lick its tongue and flew off Rakna's neck to cover the swords. Sonata stretched beyond its usual length and completely hid them from view. Not long afterward, an azure light began to be emitted by the Eion compounds.
Rakna simply had his bionic eyes calibrate to the glare and calmly watched as the Celestial Blaze spectated from the side in confusion. When the shine finally went away, what remained was a pair of katanas with bluish waving patterns on the blades, red and white hues on the respective edges, and azure ribbons tied to the hilts.
