A different world game? A different world game!

The city surrounding the tower.

The deepest part of the forging workshop.

Kana sat there quietly, eyes closed, trying to calm himself down.

The sound of hammering echoed in his ears, weaving a unique melody. He became immersed in deep meditation amidst this rhythmic sound.

Suddenly, the rhythm of the tapping gradually slowed down until it stopped completely.

Sergio let out a long sigh of relief, picked up the towel next to him, and wiped the sweat from his face.

In this place, magic was kept stable, and in order not to interfere with his crafting process, he did not even use the most basic magic, relying solely on various techniques that were helpful for crafting.

"I heard that the battlefield where you fought the evil dragon was...the continent of Taliel?"

Kana opened his eyes and nodded slightly: "That's right, there is an ancient arena there, built thousands of years ago by the astral dragons. That arena is very special and has been used by the dragons all this time."

Simply put, this arena is enormous, spacious, and incredibly sturdy.

What's even more special is that it can also activate a competitive mode to ensure that the battle is not affected by external factors and truly achieves a fair duel.

This is precisely why the Fallen Blade Dragon readily agreed after Kana chose this location.

As a once-active astral dragon, the Fallen Blade Dragon may have participated in battles there in its youth, and naturally knows that the place is an excellent arena for combat.

Kana went to great lengths to ensure that the Fallen Blade Dragon would fight him without worry.

"The continent of Tauriel..." Sergio murmured, as if the battle cries of his ancestors would echo in his ears whenever he heard this name.

The voice seemed to be urging him, inspiring him to return to the once glorious dwarven empire and restore the dwarves' glory.

"Don't rush. After I kill the evil rat, our next plan is to go to Taril and let the dwarves return to their homeland."

Upon hearing Cana's words, Sergio smiled, then burst into laughter, and nodded in agreement: "Of course, I always believe in you, and I will always look forward to that day."

Then, he changed his mind and asked, "But there are only two weeks left until the agreed time. Are you sure you're okay not to go?"

"I need to assist in forging weapons. Only in this way can the weapon perfectly match me, right?"

Sergio nodded; this was originally his request.

This forging process was essentially a rehearsal, aimed at identifying minor issues and accumulating experience for forging a true god-slaying weapon next time.

"And don't worry, Poppot has already led a team there ahead of us. They will establish a base and sort out the chaotic magic. When the time comes, I can just teleport there."

“Teleportation, it truly is one of the greatest inventions ever made,” Sergio exclaimed.

The invention of teleportation arrays, especially intercontinental teleportation arrays, is undoubtedly the most advanced technology of our time.

"Alright, enough chit-chat. Come here, we're about to move on to the final step," Sergio said, placing the nearly completed weapon prototype in place.

Kana nodded and stepped forward.

The two began to work closely together to carry out the operation.

Blood, a trace of soul power, perfect physical stats, magic, strength, and various application techniques must all be perfectly integrated into the weapon.

When this series of tedious procedures reached its final step, there were less than five days left until the agreed-upon battle.

As the last crisp tinkling sound rang out, it was as if a melodious sound from the depths of the soul slowly welled up.

Although the sound was emitted by the weapon, it seemed to come from within his own body.

"Come! Take a look!" Although Sergio was extremely exhausted, his face was filled with fervor and excitement. He opened his arms as if welcoming something incredibly sacred.

Behind him, on a special weapons rack, were six long spears, each about two meters long.

Each spear has a unique shape.

Kana gazed at the six spears, his eyes gleaming with an unusual light. "Perfect! So beautiful!"

Look at these six dragon-hunting guns, neatly arranged and each with a different style.

Red, blue, green, purple, black, gold.

There are six colors in total, each representing a different power.

【Burning Scales】

Color: The gun body gradually transitions from crimson to dark gold, just like flowing lava, exuding a fiery aura.

The spearhead is a spiral-shaped, three-pronged spike, covered with obsidian with burnt patterns, and the tip is inlaid with a gemstone shaped like a dragon's eye, radiating a mysterious luster.

Texture: The shaft is engraved with lifelike flame scale reliefs, and the grip is wrapped with heat-resistant dragon tendons, which not only increases the comfort of holding it, but also highlights its unique texture.

Frosty Throat

Color: The ice-blue gun barrel gleams with a cold, silvery light, and its surface is covered with frost crystals that never melt, giving it a chilling and piercing feel.

Spearhead: A thin blade forged from rhomboid ice crystals, its edges covered with serrated ice spikes, gleaming coldly and extremely sharp.

Pattern: Spiral iron chains are wrapped around the shaft of the spear, and ancient dwarven frost runes are engraved between the chains, the runes shimmering with a faint light.

【Emerald Heart】

Color: The gun body is as green and translucent as jade, with golden sap flowing through the wood grain, full of vitality.

Spearhead: A trident-shaped living thorn, its tip constantly secreting a poisonous dew that can corrode dragon scales, exuding a dangerous aura.

Pattern: The shaft of the spear is cleverly inlaid with the annual rings of an ancient tree, with vines spontaneously twining and growing, among which bloom flowers that emit a faint light, adding a mysterious and charming touch to the spear.

【Leiji】

Color: The indigo-purple gun body occasionally flashes with arcs of electricity, and its surface is covered with scales forged from meteorite iron, exuding a metallic texture and power.

Gun tip: A spiral tip shaped like a converged thunderbolt, with a pulsating thunder crystal suspended in the center, containing powerful lightning energy.

Pattern: The gun barrel is etched with storm cloud patterns, with smooth and dynamic lines. The grip is wrapped in the fur of a thunder beast, which will burst into tiny sparks of electricity when touched, making people feel the intimidation of lightning.

【Erosion】

Color: The jet-black gun body seems to devour all light, with only the gun tip gleaming with a dark purple glow, mysterious and eerie.

Spearhead: Forked double-pointed like snake fangs, hollow inside, it can be injected with cursed liquid, adding an extra terrifying effect to the attack.

Pattern: The shaft is covered with irregular cracks from which wisps of black mist seep out, and the grip is inlaid with the reverse scales of an evil dragon, demonstrating its evil and powerful strength.

【Radiant Oath】

Color: The pure silver gun body is plated with a layer of holy gold, radiating a soft and warm dawn glow, giving people a sacred and solemn feeling.

Spearhead: A cross-shaped blade with a white gemstone carved from the bones of a saint set in the center. The gemstone emits a pure light and contains sacred power.

Pattern: The spear shaft is engraved with the Dragon Hunting Oath Prayer. The pattern of the prayer will flicker and dim depending on the strength of the user's belief, signifying that the power of belief will endow the spear with greater power.

Kana gently stroked the surface of each weapon, feeling the strange connection that seemed to be linked to his own flesh and blood, and truly experiencing the powerful force contained and emanating from within each weapon.

Each weapon possesses the attributes of an epic weapon used by a legendary powerhouse.

These six spears together form an unparalleled and powerful weapon system.
