As I stared at the list of my Sword Skills and its current state, I couldn't help but shake my head. It looked totally neglected. However, thinking back to the time that passed, I truly had no chance to mull over creating my Sword Skills and complete this Mastery Phase concerning my skill with Swords.

True, I could pull out my previous Sword Skills but most of those had their different prerequisites. The Festival of Blades was one with the least prerequisite to executing it. It only needed Energy Control and mine was already sufficient.

As for the other Sword Skills I possessed back then, the Intent contained in them were too complicated for my current progress.

Nonetheless, now that I got the chance to truly look at it and also to prepare for what I was about to face, I better dig my memories to fill in the last three Sword Skills to integrate with my Sword Style.

And this was like killing two birds in one stone. This Advanced Sword Mastery would be maxed out and evolve into my own Sword Path.

Sword Path or any other type of weapon's Path was different from a pathway but at the same, it's closely related.

The blue-colored Swordforce or the other force generated when using another weapon still stemmed from one's Source Energy.

Imagine Source Energy as the water and the Pathway and a weapon's Path as two canal streams. Even if they're from the same source, they're different from each other.

And that's actually the reason why others didn't possess a Force. They're only using their weapon as it was presented to them.

As for the consciousness in one's weapon. It's part of the weapon's Path. It's a prerequisite to creating one's weapon's Path.

It's actually possible to generate Swordforce or any other type of Weaponforce even as a Rank 1 Mortal. It's also possible to complete and create a Sword Path even without becoming a Transcendent.

That's why there are those who are called Weapon Experts; Sword Expert, Spear Expert and many more.

However, one's Pathway is still more important because that's what evolves one's body to enlarge one's Source Energy Capacity.

Without sufficient Source Energy that would generate Swordforce, no matter how sophisticated one's Sword Path, it would be too limited.

Naturally there were also different ranks attainable on any weapon's Path.

Back then, my Sword Path was weaker than my Pathway even before I became a Divinity.

I only attained the early King-class in my Sword Path. And a King-class is equivalent to a Sage Realm if one will base it on Pathway's different realms of existence. But that doesn't mean a King-class can rival a Sage Realm. Because like I said, everything still depended on Source Energy.

The rank goes from Master, Saint, King, Emperor, Deity.

And in this new life, I'm still short of being a Master-class or someone who had just created his own Sword Path.

In any case, although I wouldn't truly focus on it, I deemed it necessary to tread on Sword Path.

My Pathway was mostly filled with support skills and I was brute-forcing it most of the time against my enemies. The true offensive skills I possessed apart from my Sword Skills could be counted on one hand. Bedeviled Outburst and my Air Bullet Elemental Spells Variations.

The Knight Skills and Wizard Spells from the System Pathway weren't counted. My Clones, Pillars and Avatar were auxiliary skills and they're closer to summons rather than being a pure offensive skill.

Ah. There's also my Crest Release from my Spirit Pathway but that was a one-time use before it needed to be recharged.

I'm truly a Support Character, huh? But that's not a bad thing for me. I already have my Companions filled with offensive skills.
