Eight days had passed since Noah brought the group of experts back into the city and during that time he had made just as many improvements as he anticipated. At least concerning his daggers.
Having spent a total of 4 days participating in nonstop forging, or upgrading, Noah had ended up using more time than he promised. He had also not come outside during that time and had pounded his daggers for those many hours.
Fortunately, he achieved the power he had hoped to, even if he had utilized almost all his stored mana cores and had needed to imbue almost all his soul energy and speed essence into the very blades.
Something about forging an item that he would utilize needed to feature parts of him. The only thing he didn't add was body parts.
At the end of almost five days, a pair of radiant daggers were formed and the power they exuded struck the higher stage and very closely approached its peak.
