The troops returned to the city on the mountain peak, Lisa had issued a celebration to honor that overwhelming victory.

The soldiers would drink to their fullest and take a break from the constant battles that they were forced to fight.

The mental state was an important factor for a cultivator's battle prowess, exhausted soldiers would perform poorly on the battlefield after all.

Noah, however, wasn't in the mood for parties, his mind wandered between the many possibilities that the Elemental forging method offered.

Also, he didn't share the same feelings of the soldiers, the Odrea nation wasn't his home after all.

That's why he went in the Mausoleum, nighttime was the best moment to use his cultivation technique and the battle in the day had been quite easy, he had no reason to skip his training.

The second layer of the Mausoleum was empty, Noah quietly cultivated at its bottom on top of his "Breath" blessing.

Cultivating had become a habit by then, he could easily concentrate on other matters while the vortex between his hands absorbed "Breath".

His thoughts were on the possible items that he could forge, the Instabilities were useful but they had a great weakness: they could not be used next to allies.

'The explosion is not enough by itself, I can't remove the spikes from the structure. Also, I have no control over the direction of the spikes, the whole point of the Instabilities is to exploit the natural destabilization of forged weapons… There should be a way to apply the same theory on items that can be used after the armies have clashed.'

To do that he needed to think of a way to reduce the area of effect of the weapon without reducing its power.

'Precision over destruction, lethality over sheer power, the blueprint of the Moon needle might actually work.'

The main problem of his inscription method was that the items created in that way would need a cultivator of the darkness element to express their full power.

That's why Noah chose to create disposable weapons, the issue with the conflicting elements was solved in that way
