Hey, you people. How could you give up your family treasure that easily? Davey spoke to the dwarves.

Its fine! We cant use it anyways! I think our ancestors would be happy if you used it in the last work of the Thousand-day Blacksmith, wise teacher!!

Davey was afraid that the dwarves ancestors would really feel that way. The ancestors were also dwarves, after all. Sigh Davey let out a deep sigh and looked at all the materials laid out in front of him.

-You dont have enough?

All these materials are also going to disappear, too.Davey thought as he looked at the orichalcum, adamantium, and various aged reagents. Not only that, but there were also the dragon bones that were going to be the finishing material.

I think Im going to have to tweak my design a little. Davey was going to use what he was given; he decided to look at the bright side.

* * *

I will issue my authority as the highest-ranking elder! I cannot give up anymore! Golgouda shouted.

You cheap grandpa!

Hmph! Tsk tsk!

At last, the dwarves fight about whose workshop Davey was going to use came to an end with Golgoudas dirty trick. It could be seen as a cheap trick, but it could also be seen as realistic and practical.

HHow do you like it? Wise teacher! Is it just right? Golgouda asked.

Haha Its very nice! Davey was truly in awe when he saw Golgoudas workshop. The old dwarf wasnt called the best craftsman in the tribe for nothing; the workshop was neat and tidy, and had a furnace directly connected to the Great Furnace, along with various tools and anvils.

Ahem! As much as I want to assist you on the final work Golgoudas voice trailed off. He glanced at the two swords on the anvil with a strong yearning in his eyes, but soon shook his head as if he had decided. I cant do that, since there are rules I must keep as a craftsman. Like you said, we will think about it while you work.

Davey watched Golgouda, who walked away after speaking gallantly, and mumbled quietly, Hm He couldve watched if he wanted.

-What are you going to do if someone steals your techniques?

They wont know how to do it even if they watch. Davey wasnt exactly wrong to say so. He then added, Well, then. Lets get started.

Davey stared at the furnace that was burning with a bright blue flame, then immediately pushed the two swords in. He spread his hands and closed his eyes. Whoosh!!! Blue energy began escaping from his body, creating a giant magic circle in the air.

If you dont have something, improvise with the next best thing. Theres more than one way to skin a cat. Davey wasnt enlightened enough to be a craftsman as outstanding as Surtr, but he was getting there in his own way. Even though Davey had trained for about a thousand years, he still couldnt catch up to the accomplishments that one human had achieved in a lifetime; Surtr wasnt called monstrously talented for nothing.

Now that I think about it this way, maybe I wasnt really that gifted, Davey thought, but he soon shook the thought off. He believed that the things he lacked in comparison to Surtr could be improved by doing something else.

He took the shiny swords that were surrounded in a blue flame out of the furnace. Then, he grabbed his hammer and took a deep breath.

* * *

The workshop was quiet aside from the constant sound of hammering. Davey felt like it had been so long since he had used his abilities to make something. Clang!! Clash!! Every time he hit the burning sword, a blue flame rose up and disappeared.

The swords were almost finished, but Davey heated them up in the furnace and hammered them again. If the only available material for the finishing touch was mithril, he was going to just plate a few parts and be done with it. However, his plans all changed because of the family treasures like orichalcum, adamantium, and the dragon bones the dwarves had brought him.

Living things were eventually bound to break and decay over time. However, dragon bones were different; the bones of dragons were the only mana-infused remains of an enormous being. As such, the bones only got stronger with time. It wouldnt even decay over ten thousand years if there was a sufficient source of mana.

Davey knew that the ancient dragon bones were valuable and rare, but he didnt expect any to be left in the continent. He squinted at the dragon bones that were placed separately from the other materials. I know how to work with it. He smiled as he remembered something from his time at the Hall of Heroes.

[Eh! You puny girl! Give it!]

[Who are you calling a flat-chested puny girl, you jackass?!]

[Whats with you, girl? I didnt say you are flat-chested!]

[Shut up! Im going to burn Davey alive!]

[Whats wrong with you, bitch?! Why are you trying to burn a perfectly normal boy?]

Davey didnt know why he had been punished when Surtr had been the one who teased her

The Hall of Heroes, the gathering place for the heroes souls, was created by the heroes minds. It was very similar to paradise in a way; it seemed to be like a reward for the heroes who had worked so hard in their lives. Thanks to that, Surtr had once given Davey dragon bones by borrowing the power of Odin, the God of Mages. Of course, an appropriate amount of effort was needed to create something very high-quality. Since Surtr couldnt just whip up something like dragon bones, he had pushed and nagged Odin who had experience in materializing a small amount of dragon bones. Davey could still see the image of the little mage sobbing as she handed Surtr the bones.

[Thats it. Thats one of the main materials of the divine sword. Its difficult to obtain, but you should know how to use it if you ever encountered it, right?]

At that time, Davey was annoyed at how Surtr had been making him use an ancient relic that he didnt think really existed. But that turned out to be a blessing in disguise.

Davey became lost in his blacksmithing as he started to concentrate, and nothing could bother him. Every one of his brain cells was focused on polishing the two swords, and he hammered away and forgot that time even existed.

The swords natural color deepened with every hit of Daveys hammer. As the blue flame scattered away, the blue and red sheen of the swords intensified and brightened.

Clang!! Clang!! The sound was much louder and clearer than the sound of hitting regular metal. It resonated through the workshop, but Davey didnt plug his ears; he took in the entire sound and sped up the process.

-Its beautiful

Even Perserque was infatuated with the shine of the swords. She quietly watched Davey as he worked.

At last, the dark maroon-colored sword absorbed light and transformed into a clear ruby color. The blue sword transformed into a mystical sapphire color that looked like a supernova in the night sky.

And finally, Davey finished building the grip and pommel of the swords, which shone on their own, and began sanding the blades on a sharpening stone. It would have been nice if these swords were the common ones that could be sharpened using a machine, but because of their quality and material, they couldnt be affected by regular stones.

Thankfully, Davey was able to sharpen and envelop the swords in mana since he had the sharpening stone, another family treasure, that one of the dwarves had given him.

Whoosh Whoosh!! The two swords vibrated while intensely releasing mana like a newborn baby crying from its birth into the world.

Davey wiped off the sweat from his forehead. The workshop was like a sauna from the heat of the endlessly burning furnace, but he didnt cast any fire resistance spells and simply endured the heat. This was a risky job that would fail if the temperature was even a little off.

Whoosh Whoosh!! Running his fingers down the shining red and blue swords, Davey felt that the dull, rough texture had been replaced with smoothness.

I should give you a name now. Davey already had names in mind, ever since laying eyes on them for the first time. You guys are now Blue Ribbon and Red Ribbon!

Whoosh!!!! The swords vibrated like crazy, as if aware of their own existence. It would take time for their ego to awaken, but this was a sign that they had instinctively accepted the name.

-Those are awful names

Davey could hear Perserques tired comment coming from behind him, but he was eager to examine the status of the swords first. [Check Information]. Since he didnt have a reason to wait, Davey reached out toward the swords. He didnt hide his excitement and used Perserques authority.

Bleep!!

Bleep!

Without a word, Davey raised the Red Ribbon and lightly slashed down on a mithril anvil. The swing was light and had no mana on it. However

Slash it.

Shwing! As soon as Davey wished for it to be cut, the mithril anvil was divided into two without the slightest resistance. The greatest dwarf-made anvil that didnt even dent when struck multiple times with the Aura Blade had been cut into two by a single swing.

-

There was a moment of silence. Then, Davey picked up the Blue Ribbon and slashed the air. Crack! He heard the sound of something being sliced in the air.

Wow

-What kind of sword cuts mana with a swing?!

The Blue Ribbon wasnt able to cut the anvil as easily as the Red Ribbon, but the mana floating in the path of the Blue Ribbon had stopped flowing and disappeared. It was the swords authority to cut things that didnt exist in the physical world, and since mana was an energy that was part of the law of anti-physics, it had been slashed apart. It seemed like Davey had created something insane.
