[OP: ]

============

[Wind's grace] (Bond ID: Evaline)

=Strength (+24), Agility (+30), Mana (+21), Stamina (+6)

→ A new blade born through a perfect synthesis process of many good materials.

→ The properties of previously present Mithril have been altered and the base material for the weapon is an enhanced blank slime membrane that now contains many unique properties but still retains its original versatility. Passive skill [Formless] has been preserved.

→ The core of the blade now perfectly resonates with the body and thus, the innate strength of the artifact can be brought out for a brief moment through [Hex dive]. [Cooldown: 1 day].

→ Through the perfect synthesis of all the materials and the unique substance containing pure concentrated wind elemental energy, the artifact has obtained Wind element conductivity.

→ The skill, [Wind rush] has evolved into the skill [Gale rush]. The owner can now create a wind vortex to entrap the target and rush to them with their movement speed increased by twice. [Cooldown: 2 minutes]

→ The core and body harmony has been achieved. The synchronization is completed. The artifact has achieved its full potential.

→ Thus, if certain unknown conditions are met, it is possible to summon the <Griffin> the core of this artifact belongs to through [Source summoning].

→ The unique connection between the artifact and its owner has given birth to an [Ego]. Though it is not mature yet.

(★The blade has achieved its full potential but the Ego has not. It will take a while for the Ego to mature, therefore it cannot be of much help to the owner. Any further strengthening of the blade is not possible but thanks to the perfect synchronization, it can be used as a core to forge an entirely new weapon.)

============

It was a good artifact. A very good one.

"Congratulations Eva. Do you have a name for her in mind?" Lucy asked with a smile as Eva held the artifact and caressed its body and handled the blade as if it was a newborn baby.

But his question surprised her.

"A name? For… her?"

She didn't understand what exactly he meant by that, especially the way he referred to her sword as 'her'. And her question made this expert of all weapons chuckle with joy.

"When a weapon gains an Ego, they become more than a sword or any kind of normal artifact.

They gain a personality, they become a character.

Though it depends on how you refer to them, if you are experienced enough and have come across many Ego weapons, it becomes easy to tell how they would like to be referred to just by the aura they possess.

Well, in short, she is like a young child born from your conscious and subconscious thoughts, your attachment to them, and by a good lot of your luck.

She is yours, Eva, so. Do you have a name?"

He smiled at her, warmly, and she smiled back, looking at him lovingly.

"I do," she mumbled, the smile on her pretty face warmer than the sunlight of the dawn.

She had a name for her sword, a name she had in mind since the moment she received it from these two.

She never actually had the chance to call her by that name, but, it was a name she always had in mind.

"Luel. Strong but calm, smart but eccentric. Tranquil, but at the same time, flowing without restrictions. How is it? Do you like it?"

She was asking the blade with a motherly smile, and as if to positively respond to her words, the blade vibrated with a joyful frequency, and as if receiving a response from a child, she also felt the positive emotions in her very heart.

"She liked it."

Lucy had come across many weapons, artifacts, and things possessing an Ego. Many of them were young like Luel. And, though she can't talk yet as she was young, one common characteristic of the items posing an ego was that they can communicate with others. If not with the language then by some other means but the basic meaning of possessing an Ego was that they were conscious of themselves and this world.

"I like it too~."

-Oooooooooooooong…!

El.

She was preparing for the two of their weapons next since the system was taking so long to finish the data collection of her previous achievement.

And, she was also the reason the spectator bastards weren't saying anything at all anymore.

The thing she just did, the spells, the whole synthesis process, was defiantly surprising and attractive for them, but… that wasn't all she can do.

Eva's weapon synthasis was something on the easier side, so, when she summoned twice as many spell circles, and thrice as many materials from before for the two of their amazing artifacts, the rest of the world watching them had fallen silent, and maybe that was the reason even the Worldline has stopped processing data and started collecting new one.

[The spectator 'Diety of the forest of luck' also approves of the delicate yet mighty name.]

And then there was this bastard, the one that revealed his true name.

They didn't think it would be someone like him, but different from their expectations, this person was neither so strong that he didn't care about revealing their name, nor was he so stupid that he didn't understand the meaning of it.

Yes, he was famous all throughout many worldlines but, the reason for it was thanks to the most unique position they resided in.

Their home was practically the reason they got the status of a higher being, and, it was a place that once entertained, not even other gods could find their way around it. So, it made them practically untouchable.

He was a special one among their spectators belonging to no faction. So, it wasn't that bad having him around.

If anything, he was a fun one. And when they meet him, they would surely do him a favor and grant him his lifelong dream… which would obviously grant them something very useful.

-Ooooooooooong.

Anyway, El had finished the preparation for their weapon's synthesis. And after she gave Lucy a meaningful nod, they were also ready for the process.

And, they were going to do it together as usual so, there were two of the synthesis tables before them, though quite a distance away from each other.

The process itself was going to be the same but, the materials they would need to strengthen their already good artifacts were costly things that they had managed to save only after their past years in this forest.

They had one shot at this, which was more than enough for El.

But, it would still be putting a lot of strain on her mind when she does this unique process to their weapons.

There would be three main materials including their blank slime membrane, the Solnova crystal and Shadow stonemason, and two unique elemental materials similar to the one used in Eva's sword.

But, El had put more care into these ones since she had to make ones that supported Lucy's abnormally high fire affinity, and one that was the toughest to make, the one that she would use in her staff, an artificial material containing the power of all six major elements.

It was a difficult task but she did it. And now, it was the moment of truth for them too.

"We are ONE."

"We are ONE."

They looked into each other's eyes, their hands intertwined with one another, hearts beating in perfect sync, and eyes then fixed on the scene before them.

-Ooooooooooooong!

[Starting synthesis.]

It was time for the first rebirth of their weapons that would later become an Epic known throughout the Worldline...
