Having sensed the potential for Karl to get himself in trouble without a responsible adult around to keep him under control, Dana came into the crafting room to join the conversation.

"Sect Leader, Pack Leader, it’s a pleasure to meet you both again today."

Rue waved happily at Dana. "I’m just finishing this sword for you. Let me know what you think of it."

Dana took the sword and examined it.

{Dancing Blade of the Dana Mage} Supreme Ranked Peerless Grade. Holy Weapon, this weapon’s stats will grow with the user’s power and faith. Increases agility by 400 Percent of base. Increases base Agility by 800. Increases spell power by 5000. Increases spell damage by 300 Percent of base. Every hit increases agility by 5 Percent of the user’s unmodified total for 30 seconds. {Divine Bonus} Strikes with this blade apply the [Falling Plum Blossom Petals] Spell effect.

Dana stared at the blade in horror.

Falling Plum Blossom Petals was a finishing move that applied a thousand flower petal cuts on the target. Even if it only triggered in close combat, and not on every spell, that was absolutely broken.

And then there were the bonuses.

It was like the dragon had simply thrown every possible bonus into a two-handed weapon.

She would call it a sword, but it was actually created with a collapsible haft, so it could be used as a two-handed blade instead of a Guandao style polearm.

"This way, it can be everything that you need it to be. If you’ve got the strength, you can even use it one-handed, thanks to the counterbalance. But the large blade with the hooked back shape is perfect for catching blades, and the curve lower blade has the weight to cut through nearly anything," Rue announced proudly.

"I see that you gave it spell power and spell damage separately."

Rue nodded. "Yep. Golems don’t use spell damage, they use spell power. So, doing it this way gives you a bonus to the golems without costing you much bonus damage on spells that don’t scale well with spell power.

But the real advantage should be when you attack a large group. All those attacks will make you nearly invincible with [Auto Parry]."

Dana laughed. "I’m nearly invincible already, thanks to Karl and the beasts sharing buffs. With [Limited Invulnerability] and [Void Body] for regeneration, it’s very difficult to hurt me."

"Ooh, I love that one. I have the [Void Body] skill as well. The regeneration skill that it grants really is insane. If they can’t damage the Immortal Spirit, it’s nearly impossible to permanently injure someone with it.

Unfortunately, the more powerful you get, the more likely your opponents will be to have a method to counteract your defences.

That sort of versatility is the only way that most of them survive to Ascended Immortal."

Dana sighed. "Every aggressive Immortal that I meet outside seems to be a blithering idiot. Seriously, thinking that they can kidnap me, going on long monologues detailing their plans before attacking, hell one of them tried to kidnap RAE!"

The two Leaders laughed, while Rue looked confused.

"Rae is the blood destruction demonic spider," Karl elaborated.

"Someone wanted to kidnap a spider? I can understand Immortals doing plenty of strange things, but not even the feet people would try to capture a Blood Destruction Spider."

Dana snorted, attempting to hold back her laughter. "It sounds like you hold a grudge." 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝙬𝙚𝓫𝒏𝓸𝓿𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝙤𝓶

"Oh, I definitely do. But that’s a story for another day. I suspect that our friends in the Clan Leadership are going to make a very polite request for me to make something shiny again.

I’ve still got to drop off an axe for the one that Tian calls the Cuddle Bear, but after that, I’m free to make a few more Divine Weapons."

The Pack Leader laughed. "It’s not that big of a deal. Just make us something with a bunch of skill power and strength, plus the adaptive Holy bonus, and call it good. I’m a devout servant of the Moon Goddess, and I had expected to become her Avatar before Lucille became a Wolf Lord.

Plus, it’s not challenging for something made with your skills to be better than what I’m using. After a lot of lean years, I’ve sold off most of my relics to keep the pack afloat.

Now, it’s finally starting to pay off, with the crafters in the Pack. But none of them are Supreme."

Nerissa shrugged. "No need to go overboard on my account. If too many Supreme weapons start to appear, it’s going to cause questions I don’t feel like answering. However, if you can make a trash item, Rare Grade at best, we could use it as a gift for the best performer at the recruitment tournament.

You know how the Elders like to show off."

Karl handed Rue a Villa stone, and the dragon rolled it around in her hand, examining the runes.

"Oh, this is pretty good. Rare Grade, but so useful that it would be a Clan Cultivation Treasure for nearly any Sect. Even those obnoxious brats from the Almeixei Sect would drool themselves dry over it."

Nerissa winked at Karl. "You found an interesting one this time. I know that she’s not as new of an Immortal as you are, but she seems to have a pretty good grasp on people’s natures as well."

Rue rolled her eyes. "That man, I raised his mother, and look what gratitude he showed the moment that he reached Supremacy? But I don’t actually hold a grudge, I’m just not a people person."

"That’s good news. They’re an incredibly dominant Sect, even if the new Sect Leader isn’t as powerful as the last few were."

"How new is the Sect Master? Did they just transition leadership?" Dana asked.

"I suppose it’s been five or six hundred years?" Nerissa replied with a shrug.

"Never mind, I forgot that most Immortals have a very different sense of time than I do."
