Another World Awakening Transcendental Create Skill

“Chapter 80: Bluff”

I was decided.

The current trident is only glued together, which makes it difficult to draw power from.

It’s impossible to fix it back to its original form.

The solution is to make a new one.

– You? YOU’ll make a new spear?

– Yes.

I can’t back down anymore.

The level required to craft holy weapons and armors is at least VII.

If I want to make a spear that can surpass the Trident of Darkness, I would need to be Level VIII.

– You’re a funny human! How many years do you think my family has used that spear!? Can you even count that high!?

– Several thousand years.

– Right! Not a single craftsman has been able to create a better weapon throughout all that time. Whatever makes you think a feeble human with barely any lifespan could surpass it?

I might not be able to read minds as well as her, but I could tell she was dangerously close to stabbing me.

It’s thanks to the support of my friends that I’m still able to stand here.

My blacksmithing levels are VI at best. I would need to grow another 2 levels before even attempting to make a better trident.

I can’t even make the “demon” part of a spear.

After all, this was all just a bluff I made on the spot.

I’m fairly sure my friends realized that too. I was just lying to appease the situation.

– I’m sure the mas- I mean, Takaya-sama, will be able to make a weapon worthy of a Succubi. Isn’t that right, mistress?

– Of course! That’s just how good Level IX creators are!

Letty and Mumuruu followed my bluff.

Feria could only sigh at the barrage of lies she was witnessing.

– What did you say!?

The moment Azaasha heard “Level IX” the color of her eyes changed.

Unsurprisingly so. It’s the limit that any human or demon wishes to reach.

Power is everything for demons. The idea of having a spear even more powerful than the Trident of Darkness would surely blind Azaasha.

– Hey, human. Is that true? Are you Level IX?

– Yes, that’s right. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have made such an outrageous proposal.

Needless to say, I’m way past the point of saying “Tehee~ Just kidding!”.

– I believe your name was Takaya.

– Nagami Takaya.

– Well then, Takaya. If you are able to make such a weapon, I will forget the blunders my daughter has done.

– Really!?

– Rest assured. I was once the Shimmering Succubus Leader, so you have my word.

Mumuruu, Letty, and I nodded.

The three of us will be held accountable. But we’re not scared.

– Get to work, then. I will witness with my own eyes a human becoming part of Succubi history.

– Thank you for the opportunity. Excuse us.

Saying goodbye to Azaasha and the two maids, we headed towards Mumuruu’s guardian fortress.
