Chapter 1322 - Stella (2) (1/2)
Sarid almost giggled as he accepted the two massive battle axes.
They both had a black finish, with a fierce red glow. Their handles were slightly longer than a meter with the thickness of a small bowl. But, their truly magnificent characteristic were their massive twin blades. They were capable of hiding half of Sarid's massive body alone.
Sarid stumbled forward at the sheer weight of the weapons, barely missing Dyon as the stabbed directly into the floor.
He looked up with an embarrassed grin. ”They're a bit too heavy for me…”
Dyon smiled, having expected this. ”They're 1st comet grade transcendent weapons, so they are too heavy for an essence gatherer like you. But, you'll grow into them.”
Placing a finger on both weapons, sealing energy coated the blades. Sarid could only watch Dyon in surprise as what used to be millions of jin of weight suddenly shrunk to a few ten thousand. It was still heavy for most essence gatherers, but for Sarid, it was perfect.
Sarid happily swung his new weapons around, laughing like a kid for the first time in a long time.
Nearby, Ulu's tired eyes glistened with tears. It had been a while since she had seen her son so happy. She was a bit worried that Dyon had given him such an astounding weapon, but knowing Dyon's personality, it would be a waste for her to try and get him to take it back. So, she only kept her gratefulness in her heart.
Although everyone else was stunned by the grade of the weapon, Zaltarish and the others of the Sigebryht family who specialized in seals were more shocked by Dyon's control of the energy. Sealing millions of jin of weight was a highly complex feat that required great comprehension of spatial will. Yet, he had done it so casually.
Dyon looked around after doing his duties as a god father, even spending the next few minutes greeting familiar faces.
After assuring Head Sicarius that Ava and Arios were doing well, he couldn't help but ask about something that had weighed on his mind.
”Where is the Bai family? What about Meiying?”
Maybe if it was before the war with the Ragnor, no one here would know what Dyon was talking about. After all, the Bai family was a small pillar family of Focus Academy. Even at their height, Focus Academy had to be wary of attack from the mortal world, they didn't exactly have high positions in the martial world.
Yet, after the war, everyone came to know about the sacrifices Meiying had made. If it wasn't for her, the Ragnors' plans would have gone much too smoothly.
Dyon had been hoping to get an answer from Patia-Neva who was once the Headmaster of Focus Academy, but it seemed he wasn't here as well. In all likelihood, he was spending time mending his relationship with his wife. Something Dyon couldn't fault him for.
Finally, it seemed like that was final straw for King Belmont. ”Is this really what we should be talking about right now? The fate of the kingdom is on the line and you're all having a warm welcoming party? I hope that comradery helps you when the Mino's axes bisect your bodies.
