The last Asura Sovereign

The inheritances collected by the Asura clan spanned thousands of worlds and millions of years so what they had was the best of the best. When Amrit had engraved the inheritances to the jade slips, most of these formulas and recipes were blocked by the heavenly dao, as for the rest, Kumari and Keshab vetted them so that they would appear only a little bit stronger than what was present in the Lunaris city. But the alchemy and array inheritance Amrit had given to his grandparents were leagues above what the tiny Emerald kingdom had. That was why Kumari was in a frenzy of refining pills for the past weeks, she had seen the path beyond the top-quality pills. Given time she was confident in refining perfect quality pills or even rune pill with luck.

There was no alchemist who could refine perfect quality pills in the Emerald kingdom or the nearby kingdoms, maybe some empires had one. Similarly, Keshab was confident in breaking through third grade array master in due time. But the knowledge Amrit had about the spirit chef profession was unparalleled, even if every spirit chef of this world collects their inheritances in one place, they wouldn’t be able to compare with Amrit. But just having knowledge was not enough. There were many herbs not found in this world and some had become extinct and even if Amrit could collect these materials, some of the recipes were not tolerated by the Heavenly Dao.

So even with what Amrit had had, he could only cook from a few recipes. But for the present Rijal clan that was enough and except for his parents and grandparents, no one knew he was a spirit chef. After becoming second grade spirit chef, Amrit had cooked a lot of steak enough for a hundred people, and with the infusion of many herbs, this steak could at the very least increase the cultivation realm of qi sensing cultivator by a minor stage. He had made some desserts for his mother and was waiting for delivery. He hadn’t told anyone about his breakthrough and was waiting to shock them all at once. Aside from his breakthrough, there was another good news.

The halberd his father had told him about was finally finished and delivered yesterday. According to the specifications from the blueprint and the materials used, the halberd came out as a two-meter shaft and one-meter blade in a crescent shape. The blade was sharp and crescent in shape whereas on the back side, the crescent was almost in same shape but there was one small spike protruding near the top that made it look like the blade was two pronged. Due to the materials used the shaft was black in color with a reddish hue mixed all over and at the end, there was a little black and silver ball-like structure attached. This ball-like structure when infused with spirit qi would elongate up to twenty centimeters and produce a sharp spear-like end. This end was great for sneak attacks while fighting enemies to catch them off guard.

This end was engraved with the penetrating array. At the joint where the shaft and the blade meet, two protruding ribbon like structures were embedded. The ribbons were each of four centimeters wide and almost the length of the shaft. Although the ribbons were embedded at the joint, they didn’t touch the shaft and always maintained a little distance. The ribbons were silver and gold colored and were always fluttering even in the absence of a breeze without making a sound. These two ribbons were sharp and could cut metal like butter and were engraved with dazzling and illusion arrays.

This could serve as a distraction while fighting and with the black colored shaft, the dazzling light could blind them and make them unable to concentrate on the shaft. And if they focused on the shaft, the ribbons would act like whips and nick them. The blade of the halberd was silvery black and a reddish hue was present. The halberd all overlooked handsome and valiant. This was different from the typical halberd and was even more difficult to master. But this was a perfect weapon for those bearing the Asura clan bloodline. For them, this weapon was a godsend. As a born weapon master they could do more damage with this halberd than any other weapons. With this weapon on hand, the enemy didn’t only have to be wary of the blade, the shaft could stun them, the end could impale them and the fluttering ribbons could lacerate them.

For any ordinary weapon master, it would be hard to control the shaft and ribbons as they were always fluttering. The fluttering was one of the main specialties because when the ribbons behave erratically, it would be hard to control but harder for enemies to figure out their trajectory. And they were engraved with dazzling and illusion arrays, this was just adding wings to the tiger. This weapon was harder to master and even more effective. There were very few bloodlines and physiques in the universe who could master this weapon and use it as effectively as the Asura clan. Even in the higher realms of cultivation, this model of halberd was used by the Asura clan.

Riding on their horses, bodies donned with full body armor, on hand holding this halberd and another waist containing short saber, it was enough to strike fear in those who had little bit knowledge of history. But making this type of halberd was difficult. It took the third elder almost a month just to craft this low tier second grade weapon. This wasn’t due to the lack of his skills but due to the difficulty in forging it. The materials were rare but somewhat manageable and even the Rijal clan could find enough to forge three or four such halberds if they put their manpower on it but the forging process was difficult.

The most difficult part was the precise dimensions. If there was even a centimeter less or more, it wouldn’t fit perfectly and the aesthetics as well as the effects would change. Especially for the ribbons, everything had to be perfect. The third elder had to waste a month just to forge this and it was without counting how many times he had cursed the clan leader. The most infuriating part was that there was no one in the clan who could use this weapon.

The third elder was already angry because he felt like he got the short end of the stick when the inheritance was unveiled. If not for the profound techniques contained in the inheritance used while crafting, he would have fought with the clan leader. But he had to admit, his crafting skill had improved a lot when compared to the month before.
