Capítulo 11: Choosing a Spirit Weapon

Seeing that 3 days had passed and he had still not gotten his spirit weapon Dante decided to head out and buy some

Heading into his room Dante freshened up and went and grabbed a map and a bag of gold coins that he had asked Maria to prepare

The city Dante lives in was called bright steel city the city got it's name from resource it produces . See bright steel city is situated near the forest . This forest was full of many resources ranging from magical plants to magic beasts but the most iconic resource from the forest would be spirit steel . A metal formed when pockets of minerals are bathed in spirit energy for long periods of times gain magical properties of being lighter but yet still harder than all other metals and alloys can compare with. It's also allows for energy to be conducted through the weapon allowing for better use of martial skills when using such weapons.the metal also glows with a vibrant glow that gives the city its name

With such a strategic resources their was fierce competitions for control of the resources in the city after tens of years of fighting in around the city 3 families came out on top.

First was the kinsman Clan with the flame viper bloodline martial spirit using this was the family Dante was part of and granted them terrifying flames and horrifying poison abilities iconic of most vipers.

In addition to the kinsman family, There was the Slater Clan This family was a major family that controlled part of bright steel city There bloodline martial spirit was a 'Gushing Spirit River' this Martial spirit granted water elemental affinity and force of a rushing river behind there attacks

Finally for the last clan in bright steel city was the Pierce family this clan had the martial spirit of the 'shadow steel spear' this martial spirit had ability of granting them high affinity with spear techniques and shadow like after images after each spear attacks gotten from their shadow elemental affinity.

Refreshing his memories of the situation Dante walked out of his clan compound entering bright steel city

He strolled along the streets over the city entering the largest smithy in the city .

As the only major family with a martial spirit affinity of fire the kinsman family was excellent forger of weapons and armour

Only the Pierce family could compare and this only applies to them crafting spears.

The kinsman family owned many weapon stores throughout the city but the most popular and high quality store would have to be the store directly under the control of the 3rd elder who was a weapon refiner instead of dedicating his life to fighting for the clan the 3rd elder honed his art of craftsmanship and blacksmithing. All spirit weapons used by the elders are usually made by him even the patriarch personally orders some equipment from the third elder

Walking into the weapons shop he was greeted by a warm gust of air.

As he walked in an he looked around and saw that it was fairly busy with customers looking at weapons and armours of various different colours

average looking youth was at the counter

"Welcome, how can I help you" asked the youth at the counter

"I'm looking to choose a weapon" Dante replied as he spoke he pulled out his token that his father gave him

Seeing the token the young mana expression changed to shock ,then hesitation

"Hold on a second I need to confirm something "said the young man before dashing upstairs

A few seconds later the youth came back downstairs but this time he was accompanied by a tall burly man , he has a thick beard and reddish-black hair and stern look on his face

"Boy show me your token" said the burly man in a deep tone

without wasting time Dante showed his token to the burly man

"Hmm the token of the first elder?" Wondered the man aloud

"Are You the boy of the first elder" questioned the burly man

"Yes I am sir"said Dante

"Hahaha good , good you can just call me 3rd uncle Harlan" said the Third Elder

"So what brings you here today?" Asked the Third Elder

"I'm just looking for a weapon" stated Dante plainly

"Well seeing as your father gave you that token he must be wanting me to give you some good stuff "concluded the third elder

" follow me upstairs you won't find the good stuff anywhere near this floor " continued the Third Elder

Dante swiftly followed the Third Elder to the second floor. Arriving on second floor there much less people buying instead more were just having a look around Dante could clearly sense the goods on the second floor he could faintly feel spirit energy flowing from the weapons. They were spirit weapons!

The difference between spirit weapons and normal weapons is that they can have inscriptions on them that made them have special effects such as being extremely sharp or creating lightning and fire

"What are you gawking at?" Asked the Third Elder

"This just were the weaker stuff are kept I'll show you, I'll show you where the good stuff is held, my personal favourite collection" said the Third Elder with a big grin on his face

They continued upward and each floor they went up less and less people were seen until they reached the fourth floor .

On the fourth flour there were no people in sight and much fewer weapons .

"This is where my best creations are stored " said the Third Elder "feel free to Choose anyone of your choice." Continued Harlan .

Looking around Dante saw many magnificent weapons from Greatswords to sabres and shields . He was strolling around but then Dante's attention was immediately grabbed by a sword

It was a beautiful longsword that glowed a milky white light and had various inscriptions on the sword making it have an ethereal phantasmal feel. But even more important than that Dante felt an innate attraction towards the sword as if something deep inside him was calling him to take the sword the strange thing is he felt a deep attraction to the sword as if deep in his body something was calling out to the sword . It wasn't his dragon soul it was something else more intrinsic to his very nature, intrinsic to his blood.

"Don't be fooled by the looks of that sword it's a failure " stated the Elder Harlan

"A adventurer went out to some ruins and brought back a mysterious Ore. He called it moonstone he said it was fragment of the moon itself but it was most likely stone that had been illuminated by moonlight energy for thousands of years"

" I spent loads of resources and precious metals trying to make a legendary sword to break past gold rank spirit weapon and forge the legendary platinum rank spirit weapon but unfortunately when it was finally crafted it was only a bronze rank spirit weapon!" Shouted Elder Harlan in exasperation

"Not even Gold or Silver but bronze rank!!" Exclaimed Elder Harlan

"Don't choose it I don't wanna scam you as an uncle just don't choose it " stated Elder Harlan

Dante considered not picking the sword but he was still drawn to it almost as if he had been spell bound or charmed

"Third uncle I still choose this sword I feel as if I have a connection to it I'm confident I won't regret my decision" said Dante filled with confidence

Seeing the stern look on Dante's face Elder Harlan was stunned

'Hmmm this kid is interesting'

Thought Harlan to himself

"Alright kid if you think that this sword is really the one for you then have it, but don't complain to your dad that you've been scammed"said Harlan handing him the sword

"in addition to this how about I give you a bronze rank inner armour otherwise your dad will say I was taking advantage of you" Harlan said chucking him a shining leather armour

"Thank you Third uncle" said Dante

"Just treat it as a gift" waved Harlan dismissively

"Alright seeing as you've got your weapon it's time I leave I've been planning on crafting a new spirit weapon , who knows it might be the legendary platinum rank I've been trying so hard to get"

After saying this elder Harlan eft the room and Dante followed him.

Walking down to second floor Dante
