* CLINCK* *CLINCK*
Ash can be seen shirtless and hammering away at an anvil with a sword on top with each hammer swing he gets rid of the swords impurities making it almost perfect too bad this is just a practice sword and not a his main weapon or other wise it would have come out perfect.
While this was happening his thoughts wonder to something else 'what else have I missed just because this world used to be a anime my vision for creativity narrowed.
Just like a few weeks ago I would have never have thought of infusing curse energy into an ingot turning it into cursed iron an iron that when made into a weapon can take on the property of a proper curse, like who would have thought of making a sword that gets sharper the more of your blood you let it absorb was possible. This brings on so many possibilities.
"You're letting your thoughts wonder again focus on what's in front of you nothing else matter than only thing that should be your concern is where the sword you're making is perfect" the old master instructed 'Truly a monster it hasn't even been a month and and he's already a master smith.'
"Alright you can stop now I can already tell you got everything learned even tho its been 2 weeks doing more would be a waste of my time and yours, let's see the design of the your weapon already so we can get his over with already. Think of the project of yours as a graduation ceremony"
"You know I was thinking every since you told me that to give a weapon a curse you need a curse ingot with curse energy inside and the intent to curse something and it has to be something reasonable or it won't work then what about the opposite what would happen when you filled an ingot with the reverse curse technique would it become a blessing instead of a curse and it gave me so many ideas,
Thats why for the past 2 weeks I have been feeding ingots curse energy and reverse curse energy" Ash said as he starts rambling about his many idea
"Well what are you waiting for let's get started bring out your bluebrint already so we can get over this quickly" the old man said clearly excited about the new ideas giving.
So they started, first they turned the heat of the furnace to 2,760 °c , normally you would only need 1538 c to melt iron but since this isn't ordinary iron you would need almost double that.
After it was done melting they started to shape it in the form of a katana once the shape was done they but it cold water and start hammer at it to fix the shape and expelling any and all impurities after they finish they started working on the handle and then it was finish a beautiful Katana was born from the curse ingot and then they repeat the process with the blessed ingot
After the forging was done Ash looked at the Katana which was made with cursed ingot grabbed it and split his hand open before saying "I curse you to only become stronger with the blood of your wielder the more blood you consume the sharper and more durable you shall be".
As Ash was using his blood and letting more of his curse energy into his weapon the curse solidify and started absorbing his blood before it stop and Ash put the weapon down and use RCT to heal all wounds and restore his missing blood.
Ash picked up the other katana that was made out of the RCT ingot and while looking at it he said to the old man "You know old man instead of saying reverse curse technique wouldn't it be better to call it a blessing since the reverse of a curse is a blessing it only makes sense"
"Do what you want brat and get this over with already I don't got all day and I got something else to show you when you're done" the old man said almost impatiently
"Alright alright geez" Ash replied while still looking at his new sword while holding the sword Ash started using RCT and started feeding it to the sword and then started saying " With my energy i bless you with the rights to heal and protect your wielder with the blood of his enemies" when the blessing finish solidifying.
he picked up both sword while looking at the sword with a blessing he said "I shall name you Mas" and then turn and looked at the cursed sword and said "I shall name you Menos". Ash finished before putting them back into their sheath he made for them a while ago.
"There old man I finished" said Ash while looking at the man.
"Come with me brat" said the old man and started walking back up from the basement and into his room. When he got there he walked to the side of his bed before kneeling down on one knee before punching a hole on the floor board and pulled out a long create with when he opened it it revealed a sword that looked like a bastard sword of some sort with pure white edges.
" You see brat there's something you don't know about me I'm only 40 years even tho I look like this I'm about to die in a few months no more than a year. When I first thought of putting curse energy into an ingot I got super excited and started making this sword.
This was supposed to make me powerful an extremely powerful sorcerer but what I don't know at the time was that since I didn't know it need a curse it chose one for itself like a random curse of sorts and the curse it settled on was using the life force of its wielder to make it more powerful and to make it complete I needed to bath it in my curse energy.
since I didn't have enough it started using my life force and when I finally realized what happened it was too late and I turned out like this even the sword was dissatisfied that it could never be completed that it cursed me to never able to make a perfect weapon or armor it will always come out faulty with something wrong with it that kill its weird or damaged them without fail.
Do you have any idea what's its like to a blacksmith to never be able to make something good ever again what it's like to lose the only really good thing you're good that." The old at this point started yelling.
After he calmed down he picked up the case and said to Ash " please finish this, please finish it so it can be know that I wasn't a failure of blacksmith please help me complete something that isn't faulty and it works like it's supposed to" the old man practically begged.
"With your endless curse energy i dare say you're the only one in this world that can finish this even tho it would use your life force you're a phoenix I don't think that's really a problem for you and you can use RCT something I failed to grasp and you did it as a little kid"
"You know I can heal you right old man why are you giving up so easily with my phoenix flames I can heal your life force?" Ash asked bewildered at the request from the old man.
"You see you brat I always had a dream when I was a little to leave behind a legacy something with a story like all great blacksmith but ever since I was cursed I have given up on my dreams but since you came along it's giving me hope if your curse energy that's bottomless it can finally be completed.
I can die in peace know my dreams came through with you I mean its obvious you're going to be one of the strongest people of this universe so why not do it with my sword in your hand." The old man said exceptionally excited at the idea.
"Very well" said Ash as he picked up the sword and started pouring all of his curse energy into the sword, the sword started to catch on fire the more curse energy he poured his beautiful purple and black flames dancing majestically along side the blade of his new sword so much so that the white edges of the blade started changing colors into a beautiful purple.
What He failed to notice that thanks to all the curse energy concentration it started to attract the wrong crowds more and more curses started to surround the tiny hut the old man calls home and then....
