The Mistress wanted to get to Rex as soon as possible. She was new to Earth. She had arrived in a large forest.
"SHADOWS!" The Mistress yelled.
Within the minute, twenty shadows surrounded her.
"Locate Rex for me."
One of the Shadows already knew where Rex was and led the Mistress to him. It was daybreak before the Mistress arrived at the forge where Rex currently was.
She entered with an upset face. The face did not go unnoticed by everyone. It was the face that something bad was either happening or about to happen.
"I have to ask you for a forged weapon. I will gather whatever resources you need. If you are willing to do it, not only I but Deathholder will also pay you." The Mistress asked Rex.
"What is wrong?" Rex asked.
He was unsure if he needed to actually accept the proposal or not. He was willing to help Deathholder. The meeting between the was short. Rex got a good impression from him.
"Deathholder is dying. He has been holding the other families back. If he dies within this week. Everything he has done will go down the drain. Not only that, but I have lost three shadows. One was a while ago. She just died a little while ago, and the other two are missing. I will not allow the families to do what they want with my Shadows." A dangerous glint appeared in her eyes.
Seeing the glint, Rex knew that the weapons needed to be forged.
Rex looked to see how many swords he needed to make to get the strongest kind of sword quickly.
[Common Grade to Uncommon Grade at least a total of ten of one kind weapons]
[Uncommon Grade to Rare Grade at least a total of fifty weapons need to be made]
[Rare Grade to Wondrous Weapon at a total of two hundred and fifty of one kind of weapon need to be made]
[Wondrous Grade to Mythic Grade at least five hundred weapons need to be made]
[Mythic Grade to Godly Weapons, a weapon has to be blessed by a God or slay a God]
It was going to be a rough plan. The group decided to forge nothing but swords. What Rex was going to do was smelt the swords to keep the mixture pure, and he hoped that it would decrease the number of weapons that needed to be made.
Lilith gave the Mistress her sword. Lilith got Rex's and the duo trained. It was a tough match for both of them. The Mistress had not felt such a marvelous weapon before.
For Lilith, she had to face someone whom she had liked before. The two got closer with each clash of the swords.
Each clash made each other know how special their lives were. For Lilith, it was how special her husband was. For the Mistress, she knew how deep her friendship with Lilith was.
The end of the first day came to an end. Rex admitted that he barely hit twenty swords made during the daylight hours. He was not happy with that.
The Mistress was dumbfounded that he could make that many swords during just a few hours.
Rex worked throughout the night with Soni and the Spider Queen. To speed up the process, Soni carried the swords to a barrel. The Spider Queen would use her thread and lift up the barrel. Once she had it on her back, she would slide to the furnace and dump the swords.
Within hours of doing it, the Spider Queen got much better at just using her thread to move the barrel up and sliding it down to the furnace. She waited there to tilt the barrel up so the swords entered.
Soni found a perfect position to place the barrel so she could just throw the swords. Once the swords were in, she would wipe the sweat off of Rex. Rex barely ate or drank during the process. This upset Soni.
She would force Rex to sit down once every three hours. If Soni was not enough to force him, the Spider Queen would use her thread and have Rex sit down.
It may not have been for maybe five minutes at the most. At least Rex would drink water. The process continued until the next daybreak.
The Mistress and Lilith both forced Rex to sit down in front of them.
"I understand that you want to help me. I WILL NOT ALLOW THE HUSBAND OF MY FRIEND TO KILL HIMSELF FOR THAT!" The Mistress was angry.
Lilith took a moment to regain her clarity.
"Rex, I love you. I know I do not say it enough or show it enough. If you die early, what would happen to the other people whom you love? What happens to the people awaiting your smiling face? What about her? How will she be able to repay you once you officially enter the Heavenly Realm?" Lilith almost busted into tears.
Rex stood up and kissed Lilith. The kiss was just short, but it showed the love that Rex had.
"I know the payment will happen. What is worst? Me, overworking myself for a month or losing Deathholder permanently?" Rex asked.
"Both." Lilith answered.
Rex kissed her again, "That is why I love you." Rex hugged her tightly.
"Mistress, I am doing what I am doing to get you the best possible blade I can possibly get. I will go to the maximum I can before stopping. Once I stop, that is all. I will not guarantee you the best of the best. I will not forge or give you a bad weapon either." Rex looked her in the eyes.
"I will accept what you give. Lilith, if he does try to overwork himself. I will personally leave and take the blade you gave me. I believe that is a fair trade." The Mistress moved her eyes between the two.
Lilith nodded. Rex smiled.
The day went by the same. When Lilith and the Mistress came in this time. A golden blade was in front of them.
"What is that blade?" The Mistress gulped.
She felt that the blade in front of her was stronger than a weapon in the Clan House. The feeling was the same for Lilith. She had not felt such a powerful weapon before.
"This is a miracle blade. I kept reusing the same swords and did not put a hilt on them. This sword after one hundred and fifty swords being forged is a Rare Grade Sword. Now, I can hopefully achieve the best sword a lot quicker." Rex was extremely happy.
He had not named any swords. He had yet to add anymore Qi affinities on the swords, but they still retained the Fire Element.
The process kept going until a sword could be done with minutes of starting. By smelting the already forged weapons. The mixture kept getting stronger and stronger. This also allowed the number of swords to be made lessen.
Rex knew that once he started to do with the spears and bows. The process was going to be the same. He did not know how many he could actually make.
He made sure to have ten top-tier weapons for women who would potentially marry him. He wanted to have at least ten, not top-tier, weapons for his maids and butlers.
He was going to give Demon Rex just a sword and spear at least on the level of his maids and butlers.
