It had been a month since the start of Shields forging. Today, Marcus forged the thirty-first one. There were only another seven to go. Krune, of course, was there with Marcus to forge his own Divine Imprints. He couldn't help but be impressed with Marcus' skills. Every single shield connected with each other perfectly! But that made some sense: he is a Five Stars Blacksmith after all, only beneath the Hall Master himself who is at the Six Stars!
Marcus started the forging process of the next one while Krune was sat by the side. Suddenly, Krune opened his eyes, and a blast of Spiritual Energy filled the room where they are staying. Marcus was a little surprised by that, it was evident that Krune had achieved a breakthrough.
