Chapter 381 - 332 : Return The Favor (2/2)
This movement technique was extremely hard to learn but granted her many benefits. Her soft white saber also received an upgrade and became more powerful and suited for a Sovereign.
It became shorter but sharper, plus, Lucy was given yet another technique. This technique was actually Saber Arts.
It is called The Dancing Flame Saber Arts and the requirements to learn it are very steep. In fact, Even after training for a whole month, coupled with her talent, Lucy was only able to reach minor success in it.
Nonetheless, it suited her magma and fire attributes and greatly strengthened them. Her arsenal grew bigger and she was getting stronger by the day.
Losha, who was in her workshop, busy fixing Makaze, was sweating profusely as the temperature of the room was extremely high, moreover, she was mentally and physically tired.
To fix Makaze was no easy feat, in fact, it was much harder than she expected. Fortunately, she had the necessary materials to repair it but the energy needed was humongous, to say the least.
Losha thought it'll take her a week at most but even after one month, she was still not over.
'I'm finally done with this damn blade!'
She was almost done repairing the silent blade, which started acting strange since yesterday. Its sheath was releasing an absurd amount of black flames while Makaze was vibrating intensely as it emanated a strange and ominous dark fog that was forcefully repelled by Losha.
Even someone as strong as her, was starting feeling anxious after feeling the rising pressure of the Dark Blade. She even hesitated a few times and wanted to stop repairing it. Once the final touch is done, she feared something will happen, not her but to the workshop and the whole floating mountain.
The blade was getting restless and a fourth of the workshop was started to get corrupted by the spreading Dark Magic.
The blacksmith's body turned into a diamond, shining as she pressed her hand on the dark blade and banged her hammer on its sharp edges.
Time slowly passed but to Losha's surprise, the hand that was holding down the blade became bloodied and jet black. The darkness inside the diamond was dreadful and wanted to spread to all her body.
Formless Nether Energy appeared from her Dantian to her hand, pushing out the Dark Magic. The process was incredibly slow, startling Losha.
'Just what the hell is this blade?'
Even a Cursed Sword wouldn't make her anxious like this. The combination of the blade and Dark Magic was simply too dangerous. It bypassed her Physique and even injured her just by touching it.
She couldn't even imagine what it'll do if it was wielded by Arthur. The hammer kept banging on the blade for a few more hours before finally stopping.
No more a broken blade, Makaze emitted a loud howl that reverberated to all directions, startling Lucy and Losha. The surroundings of the floating mountain turned into absolute darkness, blocking everyone's view.
In a split second, Losha's world was replaced by encroaching darkness that made someone like her helpless.
”What's going on?”
”You did a good job.”
A cold voice rang in her ears. Just as the voice was heard, the darkness vanished and everything returned to normal. The usually composed Losha was dumbstruck, she even forgot to breathe as she stared at the person standing in front of her.

Her eyes contained shock and fear, even a reincarnator like herself couldn't lift a finger in front of the person in front of her.
He was clad in jet black armor and had a thick black sword on his back. A skin as white as snow and two jet black pupils, even his hair was completely dark. He was the epitome of strength, the most powerful existence in the three universes, the Nameless Knight.
The woman didn't even dare speak, someone of her status obviously knew the Nameless Knight. Not only she knew him, she knew what he's capable of..
Though she had a Fate Contract with Arthur, she wasn't courageous enough to stop the knight from taking Makaze, if he wished to do so.
Someone like him could finish her before she could make a move, the disparity was just too big. She's feared by many and even Overgods don't dare to anger her yet in this multiverse, none dares to talk back or provoke the Nameless Knight. Whatever he wants, he gets, fortunately, he usually disappears for a long time, whenever he appears, everyone becomes docile.
The strong factions or powerful individuals become obedient like children, like 'X', for example.
”A favor must be paid back. Just like he gave me my blade, I shall hand him his.”
The Nameless Knight uttered those words before grabbing Makaze, which wanted to rebel and attack this man only to become motionless, unable to resist the hand that was grabbing it.
Just like he appeared, the knight vanished without leaving trace, leaving a pale-faced Losha, who fell on her butt as her knees grew weak.
