Chereads / Ocular Menace: Misadventures of a Man with many Eyes / Chapter 42 - A sword for his fortune

Chapter 42 - A sword for his fortune

After teleporting to his forge, he decides to make a katana for the elves, specifically a chokuto sword at 98 cm. He was going to call it Kusanagi, as it was going to be a wind/lighting type sword, as the elven princess had those elements. He might regret making this later, but that was a problem for then, and he wanted to make a new sword anyways. After 5 hours or so, Johnathan leaves the forge with a new sword and sheathe.

[Kusanagi]

Date of Creation [6/02/500]

Materials Used in Creation [Adamantite, Mithril, Chlorophyte, Orichalcum]

Creator [Johnathan Reed]

Special effects [Amplifies the wind and lighting element by 400% when used] [Can easily be coated in the lighting element] [All slashes will cause a burst of air in the form of the slash to appear] [Must be blood bound to a user] [The user can summon the blade to their side at any time] [Can grown stronger with the user. Much slower than the growth rate on [Tsukuyomi] and [Amaterasu]

It was a great weapon to be sure, he now just had to deliver it. This wasn't a real problem anyways as Johnathan was going to visit every continent to warp there eventually, but this time he was going there for a payday. Johnathan changes his clothes to that of peasant and alters his face a bit before teleporting out. After around an hour, he finds the sea, and goes to his devil form and starts flying across the ocean while teleporting.

Around an hour had passed, and by this time Johnathan could see a landmass covered in trees. He then lands nearby and teleports over. He decides to take in the scenery and walk around, mostly waiting for someone to spot him, because he didn't actually know where the capital was. After walking for around 20 minutes, Johnathan sense an arrow being towards his head, and he dodges and then grabs the assailant using portals and slams him into the ground. He then switches to his vampire eyes and starts the questioning.

"Where is the capital?"

"To the north for 3 hours. You will then be able to see the world tree"

Johnathan then knocks the female elf unconscious and starts teleporting forward. After around 10 minutes, he arrives at the wooden gates of town surrounded by a massive tree, going up as tall as the eye can see, including his. After wandering around, he sees that inhabit mostly treehouses or small shacks near the wall. But the center has more luxurious buildings, and there is a castle right next to the world tree. He decides this was the perfect time to test his newest addition to emperor's descent, and snooping around for Bernard's fortune was the main reason he came here.

After teleporting to a ledge on the world tree, Johnathan looks inside the castle and sees a hallway through a window and teleports in and immediately starts using his stealth technique. No one notices, and after a maid walks by without even looking at him, he starts wandering around without the use of portals, as those gave away his position.

After wandering around for a few minutes, he sees massive doors made of what looks like roots being used. At this point Johnathan had decided to the polite thing and knock, and so he did. The door rattles before being opened. Johnathan sees a male and female setting on a throne of roots and branches, Johnathan just walk in. There seems to be a fare amount of noise, everyone then turns their head and sees him. Everyone stays silent for a minute before the King of the Elves finally says something.

"State your purpose for being here, Human King" It comes out extremely loud, but it has a hint of wariness in it.

"I'm here for 2 reasons, one the bet with your ambassador, I'm here to claim my prize. As for the second, I have a gift for you guys to smooth things over. I would hate to ruin relations with you over the ambassador." The elves just stay silent for a few seconds, after 10 seconds or so, the Queen of the Elves speaks up

"We have can give you Bernard's entire fortune, but will not give you any platinum coins. As for the gift, present it to us." Johnathan just looks at them for a few seconds, before taking out Kusanagi. He wasn't going to fight them on this, he came here to smooth things over, and the money didn't really mean much to him.

"The gift is a sword that enhances the use of the lighting and wind elements, it can be summoned to the users side at any time, and grows with the user. It requires a drop of blood to innate the binding of the sword with the user." Johnathan was just waiting their for a few seconds, after a minute or so he receives a slip of small book with all of Bernard's assets on them. It was quite the list, filled with a list of stuff Johnathan couldn't read. He then puts the book inside his pocket dimension, saving it for later. They then just stay in place for a few minutes, when a figure suddenly appears behind the thrones and walks out. It's a girl with long white hair, like the king and queen and just stands their for a minute. Johnathan can see their vocal cords moving, but decides against commenting on it. After their exchange, the girl walks up and takes the sword, before cutting her finger on it. A drop of blood spills on the blade, and it suddenly resales a massive gust of wind, before dying down in a second. The girl stares mesmerized by the blade for a few seconds.

After seeing the bonding of the blade, Johnathan decides to take his leave, and teleports back to the castle, just in time to start the day.
