Self-Growing Armaments
Kotetsu Haganezuk, covered in sweat, watched Kotetsu Haganezuk smash his hand onto the glowing red anvil.
Among all the swordsmiths, only Kotetsu Haganezuk had ridiculously high standards for swords, not allowing even the slightest flaw, even if he couldn't fix it himself at the moment.
He tolerated no imperfections.
"What do you know? If it's possible to make it perfect, then it must be made perfect. Do you want to hand over a flawed sword? I can't bear that disgrace!" Kotetsu Haganezuk's stubbornness flared up.
After speaking, he threw the sword back into the forge to re-heat it.
Village Chief Tecchin Haganezuka, holding a pipe, walked over: "Although Kotetsu Haganezuk is a bit stubborn, what he says is not wrong. These are forged for heroes; there can be absolutely no compromise. If you can do your best, do your best. If you can surpass yourself, even better."
"I just think Kotetsu Haganezuk is a bit too impatient," Kotetsu Haganezuk shook his head. "The swords I forged for Muichiro and Iguro are already done, just waiting for them to pick them up."
"I put my utmost effort into these, working for fifteen days without eating or drinking to forge them."
A cyan nichirin blade and a gray nichirin blade lay flat on the sword stand.
Both nichirin blades glowed faintly, and even had cloud-like patterns similar to 'Marks' and gray currents of energy interwoven and emanating from their blades.
In a normal world, these would be absolute 'Divine Artifacts'; even in the Akame ga Kill!, they could become Imperial Arms.
The names given to the swords by the swordsmiths were engraved on the blades.
"Excellent, excellent." Lord Xia Wei appeared before the sword stand and picked up the two newly forged swords.
"Cloud Mist Blade, capable of automatically absorbing and storing energy, releasing corresponding elemental slashes, and then amplifying the user's various speeds and attributes. These are exclusive weapons crafted specifically for Breathing Technique users."
Buzzing~
The two swords emitted a resonant hum.
"They also possess a faint spirit and can grow with the user. Their growth limit is at least enough for them not to need replacement before reaching Lv. 6."
Lord Xia Wei's words of praise instantly made the swordsmiths, who were busy forging weapons, tremble and hastily greet their God.
"Lord Xia Wei, it is a great honor for you to personally come here!"
The village chief, wearing a Hyottoko mask, ran over, sweating profusely, and knelt down before Lord Xia Wei with a thud.
Seeing the village chief act, the swordsmiths rushed over in a panic and collectively knelt down with a thud.
Even Kotetsu Haganezuk, who was diligently focused and unmoved by external matters, hurried over.
"I told you all, don't make it so serious every time," Lord Xia Wei waved his hand.
"How can that be? You are the esteemed God, and we are your servants. Transgressing would be disrespectful to you," the village chief said stiffly.
"As you wish," Lord Xia Wei said, opening the personal information of the three in his mind.
"You all continue forging weapons. The finished weapons will automatically be sent to them."
"Yes!"
The swordsmiths said in unison, then quickly returned to their workstations, putting in two hundred percent effort to showcase their best to their God.
"Lord Xia Wei, the weapons I forged for Mitsuri and Gyomei are quite special. They have been placed in the cabinet next to the sword stand." The village chief trotted to the cabinet and fumbled to open it.
A pink sword like a ribbon that could be twisted and folded at will, and a pure white meteor hammer and broadaxe.
The meteor hammer and broadaxe were connected by an iron chain.
The quality of these two weapons was even better than the two nichirin blades, carrying some mysterious elements, not just simply amplifying the user and automatically accumulating energy.

Lord Xia Wei tossed the two nichirin blades in his hand, and they vanished into thin air.
He sent these two swords directly to the 'Dark World,' where the armaments would descend like meteors from the sky to them.
"Mysterious attribute."
Two armaments appeared in his hands.
Mysterious attributes aren't that profound; they are mysterious to the skill's owner.
To ordinary people, any supernatural phenomenon they don't understand is mysterious.
"Sakura." Lord Xia Wei swung the flexible sword specially crafted for Mitsuri Kanroji, and cherry blossoms made of energy appeared.
Each cherry blossom could weaken a random attribute of the enemy, though the weakening effect was minimal, but this wasn't a drawback as there were many cherry petals.
"They also possess spirituality, but still cannot withstand use by retainers above Lv. 6."
As for Gyomei Himejima's meteor hammer and axe, they were imbued with the attributes of "Thunder" and "Lightning."
He casually tossed the two armaments away.
Even if they can only grow to Lv. 6, it's enough; Lv. 6 is city-destroying level.
Clang, clang, clang. Perhaps because he, the God, was present, Kotetsu Haganezuk now had a different inspiration, his eyes incredibly focused.
At this moment, in his eyes, there was only the sword he was forging.
Every hammer swing was executed with absolute spirit and will.
Runes gradually appeared one by one on the crimson blade.
The appearance of the runes instantly gave the sword a different feel.
It became tougher, sharper, with flowing energy, as if the sword had come alive, and these runes were the sword's meridians.

"Hmm, this one will be perfect," Lord Xia Wei nodded.
Kotetsu Haganezuk was forging the Kagura Suzu artifact for Nezuko, the close-combat mage.
He was originally forging Kanawo's sword, but it failed, so he switched to forging an artifact he had never made before.
The Dark World.
Rumble, rumble, rumble... Fire dragons, tornados, explosions, clouds, and heavenly fire continuously appeared on Scorpio, which was as large as a mountain. Each attack would damage its skin, but molecular-level regeneration allowed it to recover in the blink of an eye.
Sanemi Shinazugawa dodged the tentacle's attack, gritting his teeth: "Damn it! It's completely ineffective! It regenerates after being broken!"
"It's too big, it's just too big!"
Kyojuro Rengoku looked at Nezuko, who had started chanting spells again: "Only Nezuko's magic has a large range, but it regenerates once the magic duration passes."
"Nezuko's next magic hasn't even arrived before it's fully regenerated."
Muichiro Tokito flew in mid-air, having gained the skill of flight, and shook his head helplessly: "That's not the most crucial thing."
"Our skills are definitely sufficient, but our weapons cannot withstand our power."
Iguro Obanai, suspended in mid-air by Sanemi Shinazugawa's wind, said: "Yes, our weapons limit our full power."
Mitsuri Kanroji swung her soft, ribbon-like sword, cutting off a tentacle as thick as a centuries-old giant tree that was lashing out at her.
"The sword the village chief made for me is about to break—"
Just then, four meteors appeared in the sky, each with a different color.
Muichiro Tokito, Mitsuri Kanroji, Iguro Obanai, and Gyomei Himejima all felt a certain resonance,
And instantly looked up.
"What's that?"
