Epic of Ice Dragon: Reborn As An Ice Dragon With A System - Chapter 994: The Divine Blacksmith

"That's the spirit." The Frost Queen said.

"Now, how do we do this then?" Tisha asked a second time.

"We'll make two teams. One for the Vampire and another for Heaven Port. We can expect fighting but for the Vampires… it will be way fiercer." I said. "Skadi, Uller, I'll bring both of you against Red."

"Okay." Uller nodded.

"Understood!" Skadi nodded.

"Ah… Right." Rakasha said. "I would like to have a little moment with you and your weapons later, Drake."

"Oh? Sure." I said.

Has Rakasha awakened some new power?

After that, we quickly made up two teams. For Heaven Port, I was bringing my daughters, Benladann and her parents, Hector, Kraxka, and Larzak. And of course, the Divine Spirits can freely teleport around both of my bodies, Rose, and Belle. Ah, right, Charlotte has no interest in fighting vampires so she's coming with us, it is safer that way, I didn't recruit her to be a fighter anyways.

And well, for the rest of the group, they're all coming to the Vampire Country in the icy mountains. This includes Rakasha, Tisha, Pekora, Yuki, and everyone else that wants to join, although I am only bringing the strongest and in a small group to not make too much of a fuss. I'll make an army with divine magic to deal with a lot of monsters. Frost will be bringing his pack as well as I'll bring my other tamed monsters, who all ended becoming powerful after leeching the divine power of the trial's rewards by accident just by being inside of my shadows.

After everything was done, everyone had three hours to prepare for everything. Time was slow in the divine realm so there was no hurry in terms of schedules. This time, I quickly went to see Rakasha at his room with Skadi and Uller.

"I am excited, I wonder if Rakasha got some new polishing stone!" Skadi said.

"Polishing stone?!" I asked. "Wait, is that a thing you even need?"

"Yeah it feels so nice and it always leaves me shiny and just sharp enough to slice through flesh and splatter blood everywhere! Heheheheh…" Skadi began to laugh maniacally. Unfortunately for me, I was already used to her shenanigans.

"Come on Skadi don't get so weird now…" Uller said. Thankfully my second divine weapon didn't came out as twisted as the first one.

"Hey come on you're always so stiff around the edges." Sighed Skadi.

"I am sorry but I am simply being normal… Try to be a bit normal, okay?" Uller asked.

"Uugh… You're just an oversized block of ice!" Skadi angrily said.

"H-HEY!" Uller angrily roared back.

"Okay, okay, don't fight now. You two are literally like brother and sister, don't get like this. I am happy as you guys are. Also you're not made entirely of ice anymore, you've been reinforced and upgraded by me using magic and various metals, so you're fairly stronger than before by far." I said. "In fact Divine Ice stopped being your primary composition long ago."

When we entered the room after I calmed both of them, we suddenly found ourselves inside an immense forgery. We had built this all for Rakasha with the aid of the castle itself, Fuyu. There were over twenty apprentices here working on their own creations, and Rakasha was sitting in the middle of the enormous forgery in front of a giant furnace, three apprentices were receiving his words of advice as they showed him their creations.

"You've done well, Eric, but try to hit the sword some more, don't be so afraid of getting it wrong with brute force."

"This is a good enough shield but nothing remarkable. Are not mass producing here, Chris. Give it more passion, add some more variety. If you put some magic enhancement to it, it might help you realize the potential of forging."

"Ah, this is a nice ring, you've put your soul into this, haven't you, Lucia? However, the borders are a bit rough, it might not be as comfortable to wear, try to fix that."

His apprentices nodded, quickly walking back to their places to continue their job. Rakasha quickly greeted us.

"Ah, welcome, Drake and you two. I've called you here because in a few hours we'll be fighting and all, I wanted to try out my new power with your weapons and see if I can upgrade them." Said Rakasha.

"I had considered asking you about it, I'm glad you've figured it out already on your own." I said with a nod. "So? How do we do this?"

"Right here. Wait a bit… Divine Domain of Forgery!"

FLAAASH!

Suddenly, the entire surroundings changed in a mere instant. All of Rakasha's apprentices were surprised, as they stepped back in shock. The surroundings turned to be an enormous legendary forgery, as Rakasha took out his hammer, which looked divine and shinier than ever before.

"The first time I tried this was in my own hammer, it upgraded into this." He said. His hammer turned into a Divine Weapon of incredible quality and appearance. "Now, I want to try it out with you guys, so give me a hand, will ya?"

"Alright!" Skadi said, turning into her beautiful silver spear form and flying towards Rakasha. "Me first!"

"Alright!"

Rakasha sat down and then put Skadi over a large anvil, his Divine Hammer began to absorb the power of his Divinity. Now that Rakasha reached Rank 7, his talents evolved with his divinity, turning into his divine power. He was an incredible, one in a ten billion Blacksmith God.

"This might be a bit rough but bear with it!"

CLANK!

CLANK!

CLANK!

He began smashing his hammer against Skadi, as Skadi began to feel an enormous quantity of power being infused into her and merged into her very own body and soul. Rakasha quickly took several ores and broken divine weapons and armor that the Frost Queen gave to him, adding them to Skadi by merely throwing them at her. The items merely melted easily and fused with her body, something truly fantastical to see.

CLANK!

With each clank, Skadi's power continued to grow and her appearance changed, glowing brighter and more divine…

"T-This is…!"

FLAAASH!
