God's Eyes

Chapter 736: Byakur's value

After the Guardian of the 20th Floor was defeated, Jason noticed that there was still some time before the speed bonus would run out.

At the same time, Byakur was reluctant to enter the soul world, fearing that Jason would never use it again and simply dump him inside if it were to disappear.

This caused Jason to smile dryly, wondering to what extent his soul imprint had allowed Byakur to obtain sentience.

It was an interesting sight, and Jason also realised that he couldn't simply abandon Byakur.

That wouldn't be right, even less because Byakur was a craftwork of his late master, Shane.

Furthermore, he didn't think that he could easily repeat forging a soul weapon without having refined materials for the process.

Right now, he would only be able to forge some strong weapon, but they wouldn't give him the same feeling of being an extension of his arm, let alone the same runes.

His knowledge of the three basic occupations had increased a lot since he entered Manyr, but that didn't mean that he was knowledgeable enough to create a masterpiece.

Purifying metals was an easy task for Jason because he had his eyes, Solaris and an extremely high control of mana.

As such, his weapons would always be at the Mythical grade, but that didn't mean they were as useful as Byakur!

With that in mind, Jason knew that he had to think of a solution on how he could continue to wield Byakur, without breaking it apart.

He believed that enhancing Byakur would directly transform it into a weapon that was unbreakable.

However, an unbreakable weapon was something Jason had never encountered, let alone heard of.

There were also other things he had to consider, and in the end, it was simply too frustrating to find the perfect way to retain his dagger's strength. Byakur had to remain sharp enough to pierce through the defenses of opponents, its unique abilities had to stay more effective than that of other weapons, and much more.

Because there was more than enough time before the speed bonus would wear off, Jason began to think about what he should do.

At the same time, he was simply staring at Byakur, trying to figure out a way to restore it.

If he remembered correctly, a soul weapon could be enhanced, but in order to do that, one would have to dismantle the entire weapon, and forcefully extract the soul imprints before injecting them into a different weapon.

This would be even more difficult than forging an entirely new soul weapon, with a much higher number of materials at that!

Thus, this possibility was immediately crossed out by Jason, only to recall that there was another way.

With the use of specific items, one could enhance the entire weapon.

However, Jason was not sure what kind of items they were because nobody ever mentioned them on Argos. The fact that Manyr didn't have soul weapons made it quite difficult for him to figure out more.

Thinking about possible items that could be forged into Byakur, without the need to dismantle it, or worse damage the soul imprints or runes on it, Jason realised that the requirements narrowed down the range of available choices by a large margin.

In the end, there was only one item Jason could think of within a short period of time- the Immortal eye.

If the intel he had about the Immortal eye was true, it was a nearly indestructible item that was used for various things owing to its wide range of characteristics.

Yet, most of the uses had to do with the forging process of extremely strong weapons, armors, or items that required tremendous energy storage space to be even used.

To put it simply, it was a versatile item that every blacksmith knew and desired to forge with.

Unfortunately, Jason had never used an Immortal eye. Thus, he couldn't be sure what he had to pay attention to if he were to forge with it, let alone if it was even possible to connect it with Byakur.

Initially, he took the Immortal eye with him because he was going to hand it over to Luna, who required it for something.

However, after giving it a second thought he realised that his current situation was more important than saving something for a person he might never see again.

In the end, Jason was still in the first trial of the Dungeon of the Primordial Descendant.

Furthermore, the first trial was going to last for more than a year.

Adding the subsequent trials, Jason was sure that a few more years would pass.

It was annoying, and he couldn't help but feel a little bit frustrated because there were too many things he had planned to do, such as receiving the Mythic Essence cultivation technique from Luna, as well as training and spending time with Jennifer.

The last thought astonished Jason for a moment, only to shake his head.

'I will definitely see them again, but someone else will probably take care of the Immortal eye, right? Even if that's not the case, Byakur will break if I continue using it without any enhancements!'

Byakur was not only his soul weapon, but its entire existence had a special place in his heart because it was one of the last things that was left of his late masters.

Because of that, Jason would love to continue using it, even if it meant that he would have to break his promise with Luna.

In the end, Jason was still unsure what Luna would be doing with the Immortal eye, to begin with, because her expression while talking about it was not good.

Recalling the glint of pure wrath within the depths of her eyes, Jason made up his mind, telling himself that it was more important to ensure his survival, and Byakur was the best means to allow him to execute the strongest possible combat prowess.

He could change its length as per his wish and it had all kinds of useful abilities.

Additionally, his soulbonds could easily access Byakur too because everything was connected to his soul.

Thus, amplifying Byakur with their affinities was extremely easy.

The more Jason thought about Byakur's value, the less was his desire to simply replace it with another, possibly stronger weapon.

After coming to a conclusion, Jason decided to break his promise to Luna.

If possible, he would simply take another Immortal eye as his reward once the dungeon trials were over.

This made him feel less guilty, and he thus accessed his spatial ring before taking out the Immortal eye.

Before, he hadn't even given it a second glance because the Immortal eye had been useless to him.

However, now the situation had changed drastically.

Inserting a large amount of mana in his Emperor eyes, he looked at the Immortal eye closely, holding it straight in front of his eye.

This allowed him to see inside the Immortal eye's in an extremely detailed manner.

What he saw astonished him greatly because the overly compressed things he could see inside the Immortal eye were on a completely different level than materials at the Prismar, or even Ascendion stage.

Yet, instead of feeling that this was great, Jason couldn't help but feel a little bit concerned.

'Will I even be able to reach a high enough temperature to melt the Immortal eye?!'

However, fortunately, this thought was proven to be groundless the moment he took out the portable smithy, in addition to every single tool he required to hopefully improve Byakur's strength!
