Leonel only had one more visit to complete.

Ramon. Fifth Nova.

The last time Leonel had come to visit Ramon, he had been forging a spear. That was the time Leonel had given him the Spear Domain Ring since it was utterly useless to him by that point.

The Spear Domain Ring had been a great treasure in the past, but Leonel could already forge spears far stronger than the ones that rested on the tallest peak. So there was no need for him to keep it.

By comparison, the ring had been invaluable to Ramon.

Back then, Ramon had been trying to find his way of the spear the only way he knew how… Crafting.

After his fiancée, Valorie, died, he had been in shambles. She had always been his protective guard, the muscle of their duo, while he focused on Crafting instead.

He blamed himself for not being strong enough, wondering why it was him that had been born with both Morales Lineage Factors instead of her. He had even selfishly wasted it, using most of his time on the Metal Synergy Lineage Factor rather than the Spear Domain one.

Leonel remembered being shocked by his method. That was because the path of using forging to comprehend one's own path was like a reversal of the Self Path his father had created.

It had to be remembered that the Life Path, usually known as the pinnacle of Crafting, was the process of taking many materials and creating a treasure that stood as a single existence of its own. It was essentially like granting Ores new life in a body they could truly be one in.

By comparison, the Self Path diverted away from what the Ores and Forces might want, melding them down a new path that better suited the creator.

By forging in order to find his own path, Ramon was essentially doing this in reverse. He was finding the Self Path through himself.

Unlike Leonel who just used his father's teaching, Ramon had stumbled his way onto the path on his own.

Leonel was rarely impressed, but he had certainly been back then. In fact, he had been certain that once Ramon succeeded, he would create a Path of Weapon Forces stronger than his own.

It was that experience that catalyzed him to pick a new Weapon Force Path that ultimately ended in triggering the Idol Battlefield and his years-long struggle to actually control them…

Until he eventually did.

This time when he came to Ramon's cottage in the middle of the forest, he heard the very same clanging of metal… or so it seemed.

Every swing of the hammer was like another resonant hum through the world. In fact, when Leonel got close, he was shocked by what he found.

That was because Ramon had a clear Sovereign Spear Force, that much was obvious enough… but even more obvious than that was the Sovereign Hammer Force that suppressed it and continued to forge it.

Leonel's gaze flickered.

He was the only person he knew that had two Sovereign Weapon Forces. He couldn't remember ever meeting another person. Even if an uber-talented wife only had a single one. Though… that was because she never tried to have another.

Aina was surely talented enough. There was a time in her training where she would test out other weapons and it was obvious enough through that.

But this was on another level.

That was because he could sense that there was a subtle fusing of the two happening here.

Leonel looked around only to find that the forest had become a graveyard of powerful weapons. In fact, he could even see the Spear Domain Ring casually resting on a tree trunk. It was clear that Ramon had already graduated past the need to use it at all.

However… what was most shocking was that these graveyards of weapons, though they started off as spears, began to gradually shift toward another direction.

A polearm hybrid of the hammer and the spear… a lucerne hammer…? A mutated halberd?

The weapons were meticulously crafted and each one was gorgeous beyond words. When Leonel entered the weapon's factory of the Fawkes, he felt nothing but disdain. But when he entered this workshop of Ramon's, he realized that while the latter might not be a more talented Crafter than himself overall, when it came to this one particular weapon…

He was leagues beyond what Leonel could craft right now.

Leonel could sense it. In another half decade, Ramon would succeed in creating this new hybrid Hammer-Spear Force, or rather, Lucerne Force. Or maybe he should call it Ramon Force.

At that point, he would stand on the same level as Drake, having created his own Weapon Force and causing the Idol Battlefield to react once again.

But what was most shocking was that unlike Drake who wasn't a Crafter, Ramon was. That meant that if he succeeded, and Leonel gave him his own legion to command, one of people who had also comprehended Ramon Force…

Just how much more powerful would such an army be?

No matter how great Leonel's Crafting Skill was, he couldn't be a master of all. He had created amazing weapons for himself and his brothers, or guns, rather, but unless he spent more time studying Gun Force, it was impossible for him to create a weapon as powerful as what Ramon could.

In fact, if Ramon succeeded, the Lucerne Hammers he could forge would be even beyond the Spears and Bows that Leonel could currently forge…

Because they would have the stamp of a God.

The more Leonel thought about it, the more anticipation he had in his heart.

'In that case…'

Leonel stood there in silence. He observed Ramon for an hour… then a day… quickly, a day became a week and a week became a month.

Leonel knew that Ramon would succeed in five years or so, and that was already quite fast.

But why do later what could be done now?

Leonel's eyes suddenly shone as bright as torches and his Dream World deployed out from his body.
