The weapons I forge are absolutely flawless.

Felix's face lit up with joy, but he quickly remembered something and pouted, refusing, "No."

"Hey, is this level of weapon not enough for you?" Vena looked at Felix with a helpless expression.

“If I give them all to you, what will you do with them?” Felix retorted.

He knew that Vena was preparing to search for the Holy Sword.

However, he still had the Demon Blade Thousand Blades and the Time-Piercing Sword to use in rotation, while the weapons available to Vina were already somewhat insufficient.

The Mimi Kirimaru is severely damaged, the Tenseiga needs to be saved for Risti's treatment, and even the Flame Blade Gun is not a suitable weapon for close combat.

At this point, Wiener should have prioritized his own needs.

“I can forge a new one,” Viner said, scratching his head.

"Then you can forge a new one and give it to me later."

Felix wasn't unaware of how extraordinary the Seven Star Sword was, but it was precisely because he knew that he wished he could keep it himself.

Viner has been forging almost non-stop these days, but has only produced a bunch of B-rank weapons. It was only with great difficulty that she finally got some results.

Felix hopes that the creation of this Seven Star Sword will boost Wiener's confidence and help him regain his form.

“This sword was crafted in a completely different style from what I’ve done before, and I’m afraid it will never be able to be replicated. Are you really not going to regret it?” Viner asked again to confirm.

“If I regret it, I’m not Felix,” Felix declared confidently.

"That's fine."

Seeing Felix's insistence, Venere had no choice but to reluctantly keep the Seven Star Sword for himself.

"By the way, Vena, could you demonstrate it for me? Let me see how unique this sword is," Felix said, making a request.

“That’s easy to say.” Vena slowly entered the Ghost Entanglement state, and sword patterns began to appear on his forehead. “This sword was originally designed to be compatible with the sword emblem, and it is especially suitable for sword control.”

He casually pointed the Seven Star Sword diagonally at the weapon rack beside him, where all the B-rank longswords forged in the past few days were displayed.

"Even when used alone, it is no less powerful than a typical Rank A weapon. However, its true purpose is to serve as the hub of a sword formation."

Before he finished speaking, six long swords shot into the air, circling around the Seven Star Sword.

The blade, now imbued with starlight and stripped of its ordinary, impure aura, had transformed from a mere longsword that Felix had previously disdained into something dangerous.

"This is the Big Dipper Sword Formation."

With another swing of his sword, the six longswords, now imbued with a sword gleam, dispersed and formed a combined attack array in different forms, surrounding Felix.

"interesting."

Felix, trapped in the encirclement, nodded unconsciously.

Although he was being pointed at by seven long swords, he felt as if he were surrounded by six sword masters, and any slight movement would be met with a thunderous attack.

"Above that is—"

With a slight turn of his sword, the weapon rack emitted a mournful cry, and the remaining twenty-nine swords soared into the sky.

Thirty-five longswords intertwined and layered, connecting to form a constellation on the dome. The sudden burst of light from the Seven Star Sword caused Felix to instinctively take half a step back.

His right hand was already on the hilt of the sword, and he was about to draw it.

Before he could even react, the vast sword formation that had been used to imprison the starry sky crumbled instantly.

"Eh?"

Felix stared in disbelief at the longswords falling to the ground, still not understanding what had happened.

“This complete Thirty-Six Heavenly Sword Formation is not something I can master right now.” Vena sheathed her sword.

Quality is not enough, quantity is needed.

This Seven Star Sword is one of Wiener's attempts to create a "man-made holy sword".

The power of the fully formed Thirty-Six Heavenly Sword Formation would be comparable to the combined might of thirty-six sword saints. He refused to believe that such power wouldn't kill a mere demon.

"So these things weren't the result of your failed forging?!" Felix pointed at the longswords scattered on the ground, exclaiming that he had been tricked.

“Who told you I failed at forging?” Viner asked, frowning.

"You're supposed to be a master blacksmith, forging a B-rank weapon is definitely a failure!" Felix said matter-of-factly.

"Thirty-six A-rank longswords, are you really trying to drain me dry?"

Wiener reached out and pulled Felix's cheek out of shape.

Doesn't he want to equip the Seven Star Sword with thirty-five A-rank auxiliary swords?

They're clearly not good enough for each other.

Not to mention the materials needed for thirty-five A-grade longswords, the production time alone was beyond his capacity to handle.

“I’m speechless,” Felix replied vaguely.

"Phew," seeing Felix in so much pain that tears were almost streaming down his face, Vena finally let go and asked again, "I'll give you one more chance to back out. Do you want the Seven Star Sword or not?"

To unleash the power of a sword formation, the ability to control a sword is essential. Even Jessica, who is also a sword saint, does not possess the ability to control a sword because she does not have a sword emblem.

It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that the Seven Star Sword was tailor-made for Felix.

"No."

Felix rubbed his face and looked stubbornly at Vina.

On the one hand, they care about saving face; once they've said they won't regret it, they can't go back on their word.

Another thought was that such a fine sword should be left for Wiener to use.

"Sword formations and such look complicated. I don't want such troublesome weapons."

"...I'm really impressed by you."

How could Wiener not see through this excuse? He had no choice but to rethink the sword that would suit Felix.

Just then, there was a knock on the door.

"Who is this at this time—" Venere muttered as she opened the door.

The visitor knocking on the door was an unexpected one.

"Senior Schuster?"

"Does Your Excellency Venere have some time now?" Schuster asked directly.

“I just finished what I was looking forward to. May I ask what brings you here, senior?” Viner asked.

"Princess Edelweiss requests your presence."

The Big Dipper Sword Formation: Using the Seven Star Sword as a starting point, the Big Dipper Sword Formation is constructed. All the flying swords within the formation will be imbued with a trace of star power, working together in a continuous and endless cycle.

The Thirty-Six Heavenly Sword Formation: Formed using flying swords, this formation can both trap enemies and unify the swords, unleashing a deadly strike thirty-six times stronger than the Seven Star Sword Master's power.

Chapter 521 Fulfilling the Promise

"Since it is Her Highness Edel who has invited me, I will naturally go. However, could you please wait for me for a moment, senior?"

Viner roughly guessed why Edel wanted to see him, but he had just finished forging and hadn't had time to tidy his appearance.

It would be extremely impolite to meet the imperial princess in this way.

“Of course, that’s not a problem.” Schuster nodded slightly.

“Please come in and have a seat, senior,” Viner stepped aside and called into the room, “Felix, we have a guest. Please help entertain him.”

"Oh~"

Felix's reluctant voice came from inside.

Wiener didn't pay any attention and went straight back to her bedroom to freshen up.

That is, the moment the bedroom door closed, the door to the other room opened.

Felix, whose face was swollen from being pinched, was in no mood to help Venus entertain the outsiders, so he sent Rikka to greet them in his place.

Rikka is certainly capable of handling small tasks like serving tea and water, but at this moment she is wearing a cheongsam chosen by Felix.

Schuster's eyes widened immediately; he finally understood where the clothes Viner had bought had gone.

"Tea," Rikka said softly, placing the brewed hot tea in front of Schuster.

“Felix, you…” Schuster reached out his hand, hesitating to speak.

He had clearly mistaken Felix and Rikka for each other.

Rikka glanced at the cheongsam with its slit reaching her waist and replied, "I was forced to."

It likes the three-day sword, and naturally it prefers clothes that exude masculinity.

But Felix thought they were ugly and forced Rikka to change into a cheongsam.

But to Schuster, it meant something completely different.

He had specifically investigated Wiener and found that although Wiener earned credits through forging, he rarely accepted custom commissions.

To date, only Jessica, Anna, Princess Edel, and Felix have been able to obtain weapons custom-made for Venus.

As his girlfriend, Lisette should also have specially forged weapons, but she has not yet used them in front of everyone.

If we were to find a common thread among these people, it would be that they are all listed on the school beauty rankings.

Even though she already had Lisette, she wasn't satisfied and wanted to keep Felix as her own.

This Viner is indeed a lecher.

"This sacrifice is far too great."

A genius swordsman who could win the individual championship of the Griffin Battle actually dressed as a woman in order to obtain the weapon forged by Vena.

What a shame!

"?"

Rikka was completely baffled. She left the teapot behind and went straight back to her room.

Another 8 minutes passed.

"I'm ready, let's go—"

As soon as Viner opened the door, she saw Schuster staring at her with a serious expression.

"Lord Venere, you are someone Her Highness Edel has chosen. But please don't go too far in some things," Schuster cautioned.

Oh no, this is targeting me.

Wiener was puzzled, thinking to himself that he had used up so many of the other person's credits all at once, and now he really had a problem with it.

Sigh, she really can't compare to my Anna.

“I understand. I will not trouble Your Highness Edel again for the next few months.”

Schuster gasped.

Is this kid trying to intimidate me by using Princess Edelweiss?

Saying that it won't cause trouble is clearly a way of telling oneself to mind one's own business.

He's just a blacksmith, yet he's so cunning.

"I apologize for meddling in other people's business. I hope Your Excellency Venerable will pretend that I did not hear what you just said."
