Chapter 67: Battle Mages

Veer looked at the sword in his hand with a speechless look, as all of his expectations shattered to dust. He had thought that something used by Freya would be powerful, yet sadly, he had clearly thought too much.

The sword he received from Freya was a normal F-Tier Artefact with only two functions. One, it was very durable, and second, it could let him cast spells as it worked similarly to a staff.

Sighing, he gave his new weapon a last look.

It was named Novice Spellblade and was a simple, unornamented blade forged from average-quality steel. Its design was modest: a straight, double-edged blade about the length of a short sword, with a narrow fuller running down the center.

The hilt was wrapped in plain leather, providing a comfortable grip without frills. At the base of the pommel, a small, round mana crystal was set into a metal ring. This crystal glimmered faintly whenever mana flowed through it, serving as a conduit for the wielder's spells.
