The weapons I forge are absolutely flawless.

The fact that the sword had been used so many times that it was almost scrapped left a psychological scar on the village.

Compared to this power, even Gondorav could only be described as gentle.

But its power is genuine.

It was because of this power that Vener was able to shoot the Dark Iron as an arrow at the last moment.

Even the Flaming Skull, which possessed a certain degree of immortality, was reduced to ashes by this attack.

Aside from the high cost and the fact that a B-rank longsword has to be scrapped each time, it perfectly matches all of Venus's fantasies about ultimate moves.

"correct!"

Wiener suddenly had a flash of inspiration.

......

Felix woke up in the middle of the night, probably because he had already taken a nap during the day.

He had planned to get up, have a drink of water, and then go back to sleep, but he found that the lights in the workshop were still on.

"Vina, aren't you asleep yet?" Felix asked, rubbing his eyes as he walked out of the bedroom.

Wiener, who was at a crucial stage, did not respond immediately.

The nascent longsword in his hand was slowly immersed into the prepared quenching pool, and the water instantly boiled.

The sword blade made a slight hissing sound when it met the hot water vapor.

As the white mist dissipated, the longsword finally revealed its true form.

It was a sword with a crystal-blue body, its shimmering light as clear as autumn water.

The sword is slender, yet the blade and hilt appear to be a single, seamless unit.

It lacks a sword guard, yet it exudes a refined and elegant feel.

With a gentle lift, the longsword burst forth from the water, leaving behind a string of fine water droplets, which then transformed into a wisp of cold air.

"Okay, I'm just finished with my work, I'm going to sleep right away."

Having finally found some free time, Wiener belatedly answered Felix's earlier question.

"Wait, wait—I can't pretend I didn't see such a beautiful sword!"

Felix wasn't about to let Vina off so easily, and kept pestering Vina to see the sword.

"What's its name?"

"This is a sword."

"I know it's a sword, I'm asking for its name, its name!"

Felix emphasized, repeating it twice.

"I'm referring to its name."

Wiener pulled over a black cloth hanging nearby and carefully wrapped the sword in it.

Chapter 267 Vena: I'm not pretending anymore, I'm laying my cards on the table.

Silver Wolf Class Training Grounds.

"Your performance today was a significant improvement over yesterday. This shows that you digested the information well when you got home."

Tilisa pulled Vena up from the ground.

"We have to do justice to this special treatment," Viner said with a wry smile.

Today, Tilissa again only spent a small amount of time giving pointers to Lissie and Felix, and spent the rest of the time sparring with Venus.

There is no good reference point yet as to how much his physical skills have improved, but his ability to withstand blows has indeed made a qualitative leap.

"Did Arios go through the same thing?" Wiener asked.

“Well…” Tilisa pondered for a moment, “Arios rarely undergoes systematic training like this. Usually, after learning something, he immediately runs to the dungeon to experiment with magical beasts.”

"This method of enhancing strength is not suitable for normal humans," Tilisa gave her objective assessment.

"Otherwise, how could he be a hero?"

A third person's voice suddenly rang out in the training ground.

"Jessica?"

Vena then turned around and found a figure suddenly appearing at the entrance of the martial arts arena.

"You've already taken up two whole days of the teacher's time, isn't it my turn now, junior Viner?"

Jessica looked at Vina.

Beneath that kind smile lay warnings and threats.

“Come on, let me have you.” Vena decisively stepped aside and gestured for him to come.

He had been beaten for almost two days, and now that he had the chance to see others suffer like him, he didn't hesitate at all.

Seeing that Venus was so understanding, Jessica nodded slightly and turned to walk towards Tilissa.

"You've already graduated, why are you still doing all this?" Tilisa looked at her disciple with a helpless expression.

"There's no rule that says a disciple can't be close to their teacher after completing their apprenticeship, is there?" Jessica looked at Tilissa with a grin. "Doesn't the teacher want to check on the student's progress?"

As Viner listened, she muttered to herself, feeling that this "growth" was not quite right.

“...Alright. Vena, you can observe from the sidelines how a high-ranking emblem user fights.” After a moment’s thought, Tilisa agreed to Jessica’s request.

"it is good."

Wiener nodded in agreement and then retreated to the very edge of the training ground.

Seeing this, Jessica smiled and drew the Lionheart from her chest.

"Teacher, you'd better be careful!"

"I'm not that old yet."

"when!"

Without further ado, the battle between the two began with the crisp sound of metal clashing.

Jessica moved with agility, arriving in front of Tilissa in an instant.

Just as Tilisa swung her giant scythe, Jessica's figure instantly moved behind Tilisa.

Tilissa, however, seemed to have a premonition. Almost the instant Jessica appeared, a giant hand shimmering with light was already waiting for her.

The giant hand slammed down with a powerful gust of wind, but Jessica had no intention of fighting it. She shot a slender green ray from between her fingers, and the giant hand instantly disintegrated.

However, this gave Tilissa enough time to retaliate. She spun her scythe and slashed backward, forcing Jessica, who had just used her Disintegration spell to deflect the giant hand's attack, to raise her sword to defend.

If high-level magical beasts represent thick hides and tough flesh, then the higher the level of the emblem user, the more likely they are to be as fragile as glass cannons.

Compared to the ever-increasing power of martial arts and magic, the improvement in physical strength is simply insignificant.

A single effective offensive is enough to determine the outcome of the battle.

Bang!

Jessica took several steps back to deflect the force from the scythe.

Fighting with a rapier and a sickle is not a wise choice.

Once the instant teleportation cooldown was over, Jessica disappeared from her spot once again.

The Lion King's Heart, which remained in place, transformed into iron chains that bound Tilisa's giant scythe.

With her extensive experience, Tissa immediately chose to abandon her weapon and use advanced detection magic again to confirm Jessica's location.

However, what appeared along with Jessica was an extremely cold icy aura.

This was a spell she prepared when she vanished into the void, and Tilisa, who was on another side of the universe, naturally had no way of knowing it.

A series of blue magic circles appeared beneath Tilisa's feet.

Countless ice spikes shot out from the magic circle like thorns from the ground.

Immediately afterwards, countless sharp ice spikes shot out from the magic circle, aimed directly at Tilisa.

Faced with the overwhelming ice spikes that almost blocked all escape routes, Tilisa leaped into the air and used the brief moment she gained to erect a small light barrier with a radius of one meter.

Sixth Ring Spell, Spell Nullification Barrier.

Any spells cast outside the barrier that are below the sixth ring cannot affect the creatures protected within the barrier.

Even though this Ice Spike spell, under Jessica's full power, was no less powerful than a normal sixth-circle spell, it could only be kept out by this thin layer of light.

This is the power of rules.

This barrier spell is almost indispensable in high-level spellcaster conflicts.

After the release, you can chant high-level spells within the barrier without worrying about being interrupted.

On the contrary, when the opponent wants to chant a spell powerful enough to break through the ineffective barrier, they need to constantly endure interference from the caster inside the barrier.

It is precisely because of the existence of this spell that battles between high-level spellcasters have become utterly boring.

They would simultaneously erect a barrier, then squat inside it and unleash high-level ring spells at each other, as if it had become a set routine.

However, neither of the two prefects of the Silver Wolf Class were traditional mages.

If spells cast outside the barrier are ineffective, what about inside the barrier?

Jessica's figure appeared inside the spell-nulling barrier in a flash.

In pursuit of speed, Tilisa's barrier was extremely narrow, so narrow that it couldn't even fit two people inside.

But that's not important.

While a spell nullification barrier can block all spells, it can only block spells.

Even though one part of Jessica's body was inside the barrier and the other part was outside, it did not prevent her from condensing a spirit sword in her hand.

Jessica swung her sword straight at Tilissa's back, but only struck an illusion.

By the time she realized she had been tricked, the phantom had already transformed into two black rings with a "bang," binding her hands and feet.

Despite knowing that the ineffective barrier couldn't stop Jessica's teleportation, Tilisa still cast it, her real purpose being to block Jessica's detection spells.

This was a trap specifically set for her.

“Uh—” Jessica was speechless for a moment.

The magical power and fighting spirit surging within his body have now become stagnant and solidified.

Stripped of her power, she could only watch helplessly as she plummeted from the sky.

"Oh!"

Jessica crashed heavily onto the ground of the training ground.

His hands and feet were bound behind his back with black rings, making him look quite comical.

"I thought my senior would do better than me," Viner remarked.

Its strength is unknown, but it grows stronger when facing stronger opponents.

Having just entered the fourth level, Wiener could only obediently accept the education.

Even Jessica, at the peak of the seventh rank, was beaten senseless.

"Shouldn't you have said that after you caught me?"

Despite the pain, Jessica glared fiercely at Vina.

She knew perfectly well that her junior brother was fully capable of catching her before she landed.

“That won’t do, I’m afraid people will misunderstand,” Viner said, shaking her head.

If they were alone together, Jessica wouldn't even flinch if the teacher wanted to go a little further.

It's just that there's another junior student here enjoying her embarrassing moment, she'll feel shy, okay?
