Reincarnated as a Son of the Sword Saint and the Sage-Chapter 25 25: Raven Blue

?My sister forced me to make her a katana but I flatly refused. She even threatened and blackmailed me but I eventually gave up after she offered me a reward.

Just now, I have finished her anticipated katana and named it Raven Blue, the combination of my sister's hair color and the shade of the blade.

"You're really amazing, Raphael. I can't just believe that you managed to create this sword with less than an hour in real-time." she complimented me caressing the hilt of the katana hanging on her waist.

"Yeah. It was my first time to extend the time that long. My mana depleted like hell." I whined.

Walking abreast along the second floor hallway, we chatted about the stuffs that happened today. Using high level Magic Spells for hours sucked too much mana and my mana reserve dropped by almost half. I can gradually recover it using a MP restoration skill.

"I can't wait to show it off to our mothers."

"Eh? Are you really sure about that? It can't even hold a candle compared to their Legendary grade weapons."

"Even so, it's your work that you made to your sweat and blood. Like I said last night, you should have confidence about yourself and be proud of your efforts."

"Thank you, sister."

I am still looking down at myself even though my sister keep reminding me to gain confidence. I am just a poor scholarship student surrounded with rich and intelligent people in my past life.

My inferiority complex must have been carried until my death and brought back in my second incarnation. I am a nobleman here and I have to be competent in front of my future citizens to gain their trust.

"But I am more excited of using my new blade in action."

"Want to try it? We still have time before we dress up."

"Let's do that, Raphael. To the Great Forest of Darkness!"

"Yes, ma'am!. Portal."

I casted a Level 7 Space-Time Magic spell Portal and a door-sized mirror-like matter appeared in the thin air of the hallway. The scenery behind the portal was the trees in the forest, indicating that the door was connected to the forest.

"Let's go, Sis."

I jump off to the portal and my sister follow suit. Reaching the other side, the forest, I looked back at the portal and the hallway of the second floor can be seen from the forest. I deactivated the spell and the Portal shrunk until it disappears.

Unlike the instant one-way transportation Wrap, Portal is a two-way transportation spell that you let you transport back and forth between two distant places.

But the accuracy of the destination point was depends on the user's memory. I have a photographic memory so that wasn't a problem to me. Also, the doors in the basement was my transfer point to our mansion.

"This area is good for hunting tough monster like Drake and Tyrant Lizard. But first… let's try its sharpness on that tree over there." I said as I pointed out a tree that was standing out among the others.

"Did you notice that it's on the brink of becoming a Treant?"

"Yeah. It has a small magic crystal inside and its bark are darker than usual. Also, the roots are starting to surface."

Treants are born from absorbing too much mana in the air. The absorbed mana will concentrate inside the tree and take the form of a crystal. Treants were common occurrences in this forest due to its thick concentration of mana.

"Let me kill it before it completely transform into a monster." she said with conviction while sheathing the katana.

"Take your time." then she walked towards the tree.

She stopped in front of the tree with the katana on her right. She brandished her sword and then swiped it horizontally at great speed. It looks like nothing happened at first, but then the tree trunk tilted and collapse.

"Wow. It's has superb sharpness. I don't used any technique but I can't feel any resistance at all."

The stumbled tree was cleaved cleanly. Not even a lump on the slice or a crack in the bark could be seen. It is even harder than normal trees due to its monsterization.

"Is that so? How about trying it on the Drake a kilometer ahead?" f𝓇𝘦e𝑤𝘦𝚋𝒏૦ѵℯ𝒍.c𝐨𝒎

"Yeah. Let's do that."

Having my Clairvoyance sent in advance, I open a Portal not far from the Drake. We pass through the Portal and found ourselves several meters away from the sleeping Drake.

"Oh! This one is big and looks tough. Now, be grateful and become my first opponent with my new sword!"

"Hey, calm down. You look more heinous than the Drake itself."

"Hee hee." she smiled ferociously at the Drake as if she found a prey.

The Drake is indeed huge and tougher than I ones that I encountered do far. I estimated it to be twenty meters long. I didn't waste time and appraise it.

＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿

Race: Drake

Condition: Normal

LV: 492

MP: 4274

STR: 8932

DEF: 11544

MAG: 4158

MDEF: 10028

AGI: 3568

＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿＿

This Drake is huge because it's already at Level 492 and it almost at the level of its evolution. If a Drake reached Level 500, it will evolve into a S-ranked War Drake.

Drakes are like wingless dragons and have the rank of A in Adventurers' Guild Monster Tier List. They are quadrupedal and have tough scales that can invalidate half-hearted physical and magical attacks.

"You're too loud that it's going to wake up."

"That's what I want! You would be furious if someone disturb your deep slumber!" she shouted louder to provoke the newly awakened Drake.

Me too. I would have been furious if someone interrupted my sleep. In the worse case, I might have fall into darkness and attack the one that disturbs my sleep. Just like this Drake.

"Grahhhhhh!!"

"Come on!"

The Drake get up from its sleeping position and cry a loud growl. The sister stepped forward and faced the Drake.

"Let's see what you're got." she said then charged at the Drake.

The Drake raised one of its front limb and swing it to my charging sister. With her superior speed, she easily dodges the attack and all of the next attacks. f𝗿e𝙚𝘸e𝐛𝚗𝐨𝙫𝚎𝙡.c𝒐𝐦

Claws attacks, tail swipes, and bites. All of the efforts of the Drake was hitting nothing but trees, dirt and air. The area got messy from those attacks.

Realizing physical attacks won't work, the Drake switched to ranged attacks. It is now rapidly firing Rock Bullets at all directions. Of course, me and my sister effortlessly avoided all of the bullets and the flying debris.

The Drake even used Spikerocks to trap my sister then fired Rock Bullets at her. But before the bullets touched her, she sliced each of it into two with her katana. After slicing hundreds of bullets, the Drake finally stop firing.

"Is this all what you got? Now my turn."

Sister lunged herself towards the Drake. Her speed was imperceivable that the Drake didn't realize that its left front limb was missing.

"Gwahhhh!!"

The Drake cried in agony before it collapse to the ground. But stand back again with bloodshot eyes glaring at my sister whose right foot is stepping on something big.

"Is this what you're looking for?"

"Graaahhh!"

The Drake charged at me sister with only three limbs. Despite its large size and an amputated limb, it is still moving fast. Trails of blood was made as it move.

? Sister sheathed back her sword to its scabbard and bent her knees. She closed her eyes and held the hilt of the katana with her right hand. The Drake keep approaching until it reaches my sister's attack range.

*Swoosh

A sharp sound has occurred in the area like its bending the space. Sister slashes her katana from the scabbard at incredible speed that I barely catch the glimpse of it.

The Drake just passed my standing sister and collapse to the ground. She sheathed her sword and a dragon's head dropped from the sky.

"Did you just imitate those move from the footage?" I asked approaching the dead Drake.

"Yeah. I just want to try it but I didn't expect that it can cleave the Drake's neck with this sword. Normally, you have to do a Technique just to penetrate a dragon's defense. This sword not only penetrate its tough defense but also capable of amputating it."

Sister just imitated the Iai Technique that I'd shown to her last night. Even though it was a short clip, she already copied the technique on her first try.

Normally, it takes a party of Adventurers with a total Level more than the twice of the monster's to subjugate it. But that's not the case for my sister. She had superior stats than average, high leveled forms of attacks and defenses, and had high performance equipments in her hands.

"If you are finished now, how about we go back to the mansion after I store the corpse?"

"Yeah. I got smelly and have to take a bath."

"Me too."

I froze the amputated head, limb and the neck of the Drake before throwing it to the Inventory. Drake's raw materials are in high quality and fetch a high price. I opened a Portal connected to the mansion and use it to go back there.
