Amazing Village Building

Chapter 310: Probably almost like the way plants are alive

The potion we poured on the sword made of Behemoth material proved to be effective.

This swordis alive?

Mhm, seems like it. Probably almost like the way plants are alive.

Ohh, plants, huh

Potions took effect on plants too. When applying some of it to a damaged trunk, it would be mended.

At that, a question popped in my mind.

Up to which point is something considered a living thing? Are moss, bacteria, virusesare microbes considered living things, I wonder?

Back terria? Bairuses?

Dona tilted her head upon hearing my murmuring.

I guess its no use asking her that when doesnt seem know about things like bacteria and viruses.

At any rate, this material will be useful in magic swords.

Youre right! This will definitely overcome the magic swords greatest flaw!

The magic swords greatest flaw?

Magic swords were special weapons which allowed one to fire off magic spells by simply swinging it. It was supposed to be a weapon of legend, but Dona had been producing them from scratch recently.

Mhm. Magic swords break after repeated use.

Oh, is that so?

It would seem that while they were powerful, they were also quite fragile.

But with a material that makes it so that it automatically repairs itself, it can still be used after it breaks, is that right?

Mhm. Hence, why I tried to make one.

Dona then said ta-dah but without a change in her expression as she pulled out a new sword from somewhere.

You already made one!?

I really wanted to show it to the chief.

The sword was apparently a magic sword made with Behemoth materials. It didnt look much different from any ordinary sword though.

Lets begin our experimentation. First, well use it until it breaks.

When Dona swung the sword at a target, a mass of flames of over 2 meters in diameter flew at great speed.

The mass of flames hit the mark and exploded, sending out flames all over the surroundings as well.

Hot wind also blew my way and I unconsciously used my arm to cover my face.

Thats so much more powerful than the ones Ive seen before!

Mhm. Ive improved its power. On the other hand, this one is going to break much more easily.

After the 4^th use, we noticed a crack on the blade.

on the other hand, the target we were using was still the same one and not a single sign of damage could be seen on it. Which begged the question, just what could it be made from?

Maybe two more uses will break it.

On the 5^th swing, the crack grew larger. And on the 6^th, the blade was smashed to pieces.

It broke. So, at this power level, 5 or 6 uses is the limit.

We can wait for it to repair itself, but lets use a potion for now.

After gathering as much of the blade fragments as we could, we poured the potion on those fragments.

Upon doing so, the fragments began to slowly move toward the other fragments and fuse together. Eventually, the blade returned to its original form. In just about 5 minutes, the blade was repaired to the point where one might believe it never broke in the first place.

Mhm, its restored. Now, lets try using it again.

Dona raised the sword and swung it once again.

Just like before, a large mass of flames flew out toward the target.

It still works! Perfect. This material does indeed allow for a magic sword to be used even after breaking.

In a rare display of excitement, Dona pumped her fists.

It would seem that at this was the moment, another terrifying weapon was born in the village.

All that being said, it sure is hot here

Due to us experimenting by making large explosions of flames, the temperature inside the workshop had risen to a high level. Doran-san and Dona, who were likely used to the heat due to their smithing work, looked quite composed though.

Then, lets cool it down?

Dona said so and swung a different sword.

Upon doing so, a fierce blizzard emerged and the whole workshops temperature plummeted in an instant.

Cold enough?

to produce those flames and that blizzard so easilyyeah, these are definitely weapons we cant tell the public aboutI dont mind if you make some of them, but keep their numbers low, alright? And absolutely never sell them.

Mhm, understood. *(I want to make lots and lots of those magic swords thoughI want to make lots and lots of those magic swords thoughI want to make lots and lots of those magic swords thoughhaa, haa)*

Youre breathing quite heavily; are you alright? More importantly, are you sure youll be able to restrain yourself?
