Chapter 114: Everything Is Turned into Ashes!
Although the quality of Kagerō was high, it lacked unique characteristics.
Therefore, this forging was doomed to fail.
Satoshi felt a twinge of regret. If he missed this opportunity, it would be extremely difficult to find another Cursed Tool possessing both fire and death attributes.
There might be only one Special Grade fire-type Cursed Tool in existence. And because the properties of Kagerō had already been refined during forging, once the process failed, the weapon would be reduced to scrap metal—rendered unusable.
Thinking of this, Satoshi let out a deep breath and gently set down the Asauchi and Kagerō.
A look of calm washed over his face.
Though the forging had failed, he now understood why. This meant that as long as he fully prepared next time, he could avoid failure altogether.
Unfortunately, the cost had been too steep.
Using the failure of Ryūjin Jakka as a stepping stone to understand Zanpakutō forging... Satoshi couldn't say whether he had gained or lost.
No—he probably took a massive loss.
"Haha! Gojo Satoshi, you lose!"
