Chapter 588 - Creation of Life (2/2) (2/2)

Her eyes were locked tightly on the two duelists’ movements. When the duel reached a high point, her hands began swinging about in an attempt to imitate their movements. She was completely captivated by the spectacle before her.

Such a reaction was understandable. Both Link and Kanorse were masters of the combat arts. A duel between two masters of their caliber was guaranteed to be worth watching. One would be hard-pressed to find such high-level displays of swordsmanship from masters of the Aragu realm.

The duel went on for ten minutes. Then, Link’s illusion took a step back and faded into specks of light. Kanorse chased after it, still intent on continuing the fight. He then turned to Link, somewhat disappointed. “That was fun. My lord, we could still continue our duel for a few more minutes if you like.”

It had been a while since Kanorse had fought someone to a standstill even with his full strength. It was an exhilarating experience.

Link shook his head. “Another time, perhaps. I now know what your sword needs. Give it to me.”

“Alright.” Still not completely satisfied, Kanorse handed Link the Lion’s Fury and then wrote a mandate for him.

As soon as Link received the document, a white light enveloped his body, and he vanished from the study. An instant later, he reappeared in front of the fortress’ Mage Tower.

MIlose reappeared behind him. He let out a sigh, looking at Link with renewed admiration.

“My lord, I never knew you were this good with the sword.”

He had only known about Link’s swordsmanship through hearsay. Even back on the Golden Plains, Link had only ambushed them with a few strikes from his sword. Milose finally witnessed the true extent of Link’s swordsmanship with his own eyes today.

“I dabbled with it from time to time,” said Link, smiling. “Come, I’ll need all your help on the next item of our agenda.”

Eliard and Milose nodded. Both of them followed Link into the Mage Tower.

Inside the tower, without even looking at Kanorse’s mandate, the Magicians instantly knew who Link was and nearly went down on all fours before him. They were more than willing to provide him with everything he needed. Link probably would have the whole tower for himself if he asked for it.

A few minutes later, Link and the others were now in a fully furnished enchantment workshop.

“Nana, lie down on that platform, please,” said Link.

“Oh, alright.” After lying down, Nana asked, “Should I take off my clothing?”

“No need. Wait there for a bit,” said Link. He then placed Kanorse’s Lion’s Fury sword on an enchantment workbench in a corner and proceeded to mend it into a new shape for no more than five minutes. When he was done, he stroked the blade with a finger, and it flashed with white light.

Seeing this, Eliard asked, “That’s it?”

“Of course. Just wait and see, Kanorse will personally come and thank me…”

Before he could finish, a figure appeared in the in the workshop’s doorway. It was Kanorse. When he received the newly mended Lion’s Fury sword from Link, his face flushed with excitement.

“That’s it, my lord. It’s perfect. There’s no reason for such a perfect sword to exist in this world. Oh, it’s basically a divine weapon made only for my hands!”

Eliard and Milose were speechless as well. Both of them had always felt that there was something divine about Link’s enchantments.

“Alright, alright, I still have work to do. I’m sure you have lots of work to do as well.” Link dismissed an excited Kanorse out of the room with a wave of his hand.

Link was in no rush to repair Nana. He walked over to where Nana lay and laid out all sorts of alchemical materials on a nearby workbench. As he began preparing a medicinal concoction, he explained, “Nana’s body was once infused with Dragon essence. It’s undergone all kinds of changes ever since. She’s also probably encountered much in the Aragu realm. I already gave her a look. She’s now evolved into something resembling actual life, but it still lacks a certain spark.”

“How so?” Eliard walked over to Link’s side, watching him picking and choosing his ingredients carefully. Link’s words had piqued his curiosity.

Though Milose did not say a word, he was stunned by what Link had just said. Link basically meant that he was able to turn a magic puppet like Nana into an actual living being.

How was this possible?

No matter how powerful a Legendary master might be, Link was still a normal human being. There was no way a normal human being could create sentient life!
