Chapter 236: Fleeting Time
Selene smiled and said, "Well, didn’t you read about them? Try to engrave them."
Orion’s eyes flashed with excitement as he took Selene’s gentle prompting as permission.
With care and enthusiasm, he carefully placed the newly forged sword flat on a stable engraving table, feeling its cool blade beneath his fingers.
The blade gleamed subtly in the warm light of the forge, smooth and awaiting its final transformation.
He exhaled softly, remembering the things he had learned from the Runesmithing book. Visualizing clearly, he began the intricate process of engraving three primary runes suitable for a Tier 1 weapon: Flow, Stabilize, and Sharpen.
Slowly, Orion steadied his breathing and picked up the Runescriber Blade from the side. His mana flowed outward smoothly, entering the blade and manifesting a thin, glowing line of azure energy.
Carefully, he traced the elegant yet precise lines for the first rune—Flow, symbolizing the controlled channeling of mana within the weapon. His movements were calm and smooth, reflecting his strong control and innate talent.
Satisfied with the first rune’s completion, Orion moved methodically to the second rune, Stabilize, a vital component that ensured the structural integrity of the blade during mana flow.
His blade traced the intricate curves and sharp corners of the rune atop the sword, mana lines shimmering softly as they adhered seamlessly to the metal.
Confidence building, Orion approached the final rune, Sharpen, intended to enhance the cutting edge with subtle mana reinforcement.
As before, he methodically guided his mana with ease, finishing the rune cleanly. The three runes now glowed faintly, a harmonious arrangement upon the sword’s smooth blade.
