Arthur's playful comment hung in the air, filling the room with a light-hearted atmosphere.
Before Cora could muster a response, Aixen's footsteps approached Arthur, and the enigmatic figure questioned, "Did you succeed, Master?"
A grin played on Arthur's lips as he replied, "Yes, Aixen, I did." A twinkle of accomplishment danced in his eyes.
Aixen nodded, his expression a blend of pride and caution. "You still need to fuse with it fully as the integration with an Astral Soul is not yet complete."
"You're right," Arthur agreed.
With a composed demeanor, he moved to a clear space in the room and settled into a cross-legged position, his focus turning inward.
As Arthur entered a meditative state, a palpable tranquility enveloped him. His mind was a canvas of stillness, as his consciousness dived inwards.
Amidst the serenity, Arthur extended his consciousness to summon the Astral Soul of the Heavenly Sword.
