Summoner of Miracles

“Shhnnn…”

A glimmer of light shimmered on the sword, intensifying the moment of truth.

The sword that appeared before them was enough to make them gasp in amazement.

It was a deep blue sky-colored sword, exactly like its primary material, the Crystallite Ingot. The sword was slightly transparent as if made of blue crystal. Even the anvil could be seen through this glass-like sword.

This sword seemed really fragile at first glance because it was so slender and slightly transparent. Its grip was a darker color than the rest of the blade and was completely straight.

It led up to a crossguard that was exactly perpendicular to the grip and was designed to look like a pair of conjoined dagger blades.

At the center of the hilt was a large aquamarine gem. The blade itself was a deep aqua color.

The base of the blade had a light-aqua attachment that caused the blade to have a natural indentation when one traced its length due to the angle that the attachment bent at.

It was as breathtaking as it could get that it no longer just seemed like a sword, but an artistic masterpiece. No one could say a word as they were so immersed in the beauty of the sword.

Even Liz, who forged the sword herself, murmured…

“This… It doesn’t seem like a sword to cut a monster. It’s so beautiful that it seems like a waste to use it. It’s the kind that you buy with a huge sum of money and uses it as a decoration.”

However, Asuna said it out loud.

“Are you seriously going to cut monsters with this sword?”

Even Asuna, who usually could maintain her calm, said this much. That was how beautiful the sword was.

Even Rozen did not anticipate the sword to be this beautiful.

“After Saichou and Hanachou, now this sword. It seems like I have some kind of ties with beautiful and majestic stuff.”

After laughing, Rozen stepped forward and reached out to the sword lying on the anvil with Asuna and Liz staring at him.

As soon as he gripped the hilt, Rozen could immediately feel the weight behind the sword.

“It seems that the minimal requirement to use it is pretty high.”

Rozen raised his brows, but he wasn’t surprised at the slightest.

Rozen was currently at level 87, with STR as his primary attribute. His total STR exceeded the Clearers’ tanks, who allocated all their attributes to STR due to his overwhelmingly higher level. The Clearers’ current average level was still 70 after all.

Yet even with his overwhelming amount of STR, the sword was still heavy for Rozen, meaning the minimum requirement to equip it was relatively high.

Most players probably wouldn’t be able to swing it properly.

“I hammered it 300 times. Let’s check out what the sword’s called.”

In this world, the name of a weapon reflected its rarity, level, and strength to a certain extent.

For example, the low-level weapons would have a common name such as “Bronze Sword,” “Steel Dagger,” or “Golden Spear.”

Meanwhile, weapons with a unique name like Elucidator and Lambent Light were extremely rare, and their attack damage was undoubtedly off the chart.

Of course, even though a monster-drop weapon, a quest-reward weapon, or a Player-crafted weapon were considered unique, there were weapons within the same level and different names that rivaled its attack damage.

Even nowadays, there were almost thousands of weapons discovered in SAO.

Now, the weapon that Liz just forged wasn’t recorded in any broker’s info, meaning it was a newly discovered weapon, not to mention it had high attack damage.

Rozen then tapped the sword, and a window popped out, revealing the sword’s name.

“Dark Repulser.”

Suddenly…

“Wh… What!”

Asuna, who saw the sword’s parameters, couldn’t help but shout. Even Liz’s eyes widened as soon as she saw the window.

“What’s with these numbers…!? It’s way off the chart…!”

Liz also shouted.

Their surprise said it all.

The parameters that they saw in the information window were just insane.

If Kirito’s Elucidator deserved to be the 50th Floor Boss’ drop item, Dark Repulser’s parameter was so ridiculously high that saying it the 60th Floor Boss’ drop item might sound like an insult.

It was just like Saichou and Hanachou, whose potential was tapped out in advance, allowing their skills to affect even the Floor Bosses.

Even after a thorough calculation involving the materials, Rozen realized that the sword before him surpassed any weapon that has been discovered on this Floor.

Even the maximum enhancement attempt was 80 times, 30 more times than Elucidator.

If it was enhanced to the limit, even the weapons that Players used on 85th Floor later was still no match against it.

“This… Is this really the weapon I forged?”

Even Liz started to doubt herself.

“…I still have a lot to learn about this world.”

Asuna was silent for a while with such thought in mind.

Rozen firmly gripped the elegant Dark Repulser and looked at Liz with a smile.

“I’ll take this sword for a test drive.”

Rozen said such a sentence.

“Test drive?”

Liz was taken aback.

…………

Aincrad, 60th Floor’s Outer Field.

A herd of red-eyed bulls roared while rushing toward Rozen with rumbling footsteps. On the other hand, Rozen also rushed toward them without summoning Saichou nor Hanachou, just with the Dark Repulser in his hand.

After a few seconds, both sides clashed, and that was when the one-sided massacre began.

Like a god of war, Rozen cut the bulls left and right all by himself.

“Shhkk! Shhkkk! Shhkkk!”

The seemingly fragile crystal sword cut through the bulls’ thick skin with ease. The bulls’ wail reverberated around the wasteland as their hp suddenly dropped drastically, and within seconds, they turned into countless polygonal shards.

Seeing Rozen massacred those monsters one-sidedly, let alone Liz, even Asuna was completely speechless.
