667 Indeed, you're as clever as your Daddy!
Solomon loved the sword Connor had made for him, and it was Ian himself who had impregnated its blade with black particles, so this sword was not only powerful, it was also very sentimental to him.
But then Elias said to him: "Take it as a backup sword, the one Connor made for you is just a little inferior in terms of power to this one, so you can keep it as your permanent weapon, but believe me, take advantage of the purple dungeons to train yourself to use two swords while fighting, you'll need them in the next big battles."
Solomon finally accepted the sword Elias handed him and Axel then handed Willow to Elias and he asked Solomon to lend him the sword Connor had forged for him.
Elias gladly took Willow in his arms, and as Axel was examining Solomon's sword, Miguel, who had remained close to Elias, suddenly asked Willow, intrigued: "Tell me, sweetie, is the energy you've stored in that reserve you made for yourself the same energy Kevin used on the battlefield earlier?"
Willow then smiled excitedly and she asked him, "Did Daddy really use it?"
Miguel and Elias smiled at her enthusiasm and Elias asked them curiously: "And just what kind of energy are you two talking about? Will you show me, my little Willow?"
Willow then conjured up some of her Sacred Fire energy in her hand and she chose to make it appear as flames, as she knew Elias liked to use golden particles in this form.
Willow explained to them, as Miguel looked at these orange flames with golden glitter inside them, completely fascinated: "This is a secret technique that my clan developed before they were totally wiped out.
They called it the Sacred Fire energy, and I've kept that name even though I've already modified it."
Willow then explained to them that her clan, after countless failures, had finally found the perfect mixture of fire and light particles so that the power of this attack could destroy all other fire in existence.
But her clan had misused this formidable weapon, and in a battle against an enemy clan the core of their world was hit, and not even Mykael could save their world.
There was only one way to save the core of their world, and that was to reset their world, and as the explosion of their world was imminent and since they didn't have enough time to evacuate anyway, Mykael saved her and other eggs from the extinction to keep the knowledge intact of their ancestors, and he reset their world so that at least 10% of the population could be reincarnated to rebuild a new world.
Willow knew that even if her biological parents had been reincarnated, all memories of their past lives had been erased, and so all she hoped for was that those chosen to repopulate her home world would take better care of it this time.
Willow then explained that, while studying the process of making the Sacred Fire energy, she had tried to introduce golden particles into it, since she was a divine Phoenix after all, and she had finally succeeded in add them, and at then end she had obtained this stable result.
She then told them that if Kevin could use it, it was because he'd used his System to copy it, and she proudly said to them that Kevin's System had identified her Sacred Fire energy as a level 10 spell.
And then Elias asked her curiously: "My little Willow, why did you make an energy reserve where you store it, can't you make it using just the particles around you?"
Willow was about to answer when Miguel finally explained: "Our granddaugher isn't just beautiful, she's also very clever like her Daddy."
Elias then looked at him with a tender smile and Miguel then said: "Willow can perfectly well create this Sacred Fire energy using the particles around us but if she did that, then her reserve of Soul force would run out very quickly and she would only be able to use a small amount of it before having to replenish her energy reserve.
And even though Kevin has access to and can buy unlimited potions thanks to his System and this wouldn't necessarily be a problem to replenish her energy reserve, it would still be really exhausting for her to do it that way."
Elias finally got it and said: "So if I understand correctly, this energy reserve allows you to store a large reserve of your Sacred Fire energy and that way when you use it it doesn't tire you out."
When Willow nodded and smiled at him, Elias then said, stroking the top of her head: "Indeed, you're as clever as your Daddy!"
Miguel then asked Willow to create it with the particles around them as he wanted to study how she was mixing these elements together and as Willow was showing Miguel how to proceed, Elias then looked at Axel who had started to engraved Runes on Solomon's sword.
It wasn't just Elias who was looking at Axel, Atlas who had learned to engrave Runes thanks to Kevin on his force field was really curious to see if he could do it on his sword's blade too.
So once Axel was done, he said to Solomon that next time he would have to come with Sora to the dimension reserved for the Mage training and that he would have to ask Ian or Altas to send the black particles straight at these runic symbols.
Axel had added a protective Rune that would prevent a shockwave to form, and put many lives in danger, when the sword would upgrade into a Divine sword, and when Atlas asked him if he could teach him how to ugrade his own weapons, Axel explained to them the Runes he had used on Solomon's sword and how to engrave them on weapons.
Elias while playing with Willow was also listening to Axel and he then used his telepathic link with Miguel, who was now praticing to copy Willow's Sacred Fire energy, to tell him, 'These Runic symbols are really useful, maybe we should ask Axel to share this knowledge with us.'
