Is that a Wisp?

"This plant is pretty tasty and nourishing!" The Yin Dragon nodded in praise as Krune fed it a batch.

"Let's sever your horns now," Krune said, gazing at the two horns that grew on the Yin Dragon.

"Well, how are you planning on doing that? It's not like any weapon is effective against me, you know," The Yin Dragon said in response.

"Who said we'll be the one to sever them?" Krune laughed.

"…"

"Well… go on!"

"…I should cut off my horns myself?" The Yin Dragon was perplexed.

"Of course, your claws are sharp enough to do that without diminishing the energy from the horn." Krune nodded in response.

Eventually, after some convincing, the Yin Dragon sighed as it used its claws, exerting all its strength before severing one horn perfectly. It was cut right at its roots.

Feeling some loss while looking at its majestic horn that was on the ground, the Yin Dragon wanted to cry for a moment. After a couple of minutes, it finished severing its second horn.

"Get lost now. I need some alone time." It grumbled.

"Don't cry!" Krune said. "You're a big boy."

"Damn dinner! Screw off!" It roared and turned around, beginning its waterworks soon after.

Krune stared at the scene, controlling his urge to laugh at it. That was because, while the Yin Dragon was lamenting about its loss, its two horns had already finished growing back to full size. It was just unaware of it.

Smiling, Krune summoned his dad to the forging room that they had created just for this occasion, gazing at the two Imperial Arms before them.

They were the ones taken from the two traitors. Both Imperial Arms were shaped as handguards, created to be equipped on the left and right hand, respectively.

Krune dipped them each in a solution he created using the Tethlea, also dripping ten drops of the Yin Dragon's blood in them.

The solution with the Sun Imperial Arms turned bright red while the one with the Moon Imperial Arms turned frosty white. It was the Yin Dragon's blood reacting to the Tethlea solution, digesting them while slowly synchronizing with the Imperial Arms.

Krune was planning on using them as the template for the creation of his new weapon series. This way, the end result would be pretty usable.

Once the two solutions fully synchronized with the items, Krune arrived before the forge. He had been working on making it for the past week. Only after it was completed did he dare start the process.

Three rings surrounded a small pillar. Two of them were transparent, emanating varying gravitational fluctuations, while the one in the center emitted sparks of lightning.

At present, Krune used his Star Imperial Arms' full power. Then again, using the property, if he kept the powers active at the place long enough, the effect would become permanent. That meant that the forge would be functioning for all eternity by using the energy from nature.

This was also the same method the Emperor used to seal the first Demon in the capital. Otherwise, his hands would have been tied by the seal, and the moment he died, the seal would break. A Star Imperial Arms didn't function like that, so Krune was making full use of it.

As for the central pillar that had been created, Krune gazed at the figures of Wang Hao and Chen Xue, looking at each missing an arm, bowing once. "Thank you for your sacrifice!"

"No problem," Wang Hao replied. "Based on my speed of regeneration, I would finish regrowing my hand within three months. I can also use this as training to further understand my regenerative powers. After seeing the Yin Dragon's speed of regeneration, I feel that I can still improve lots in that regard."

"I'm of the same opinion as him." Chen Xue nodded in agreement.

"Thank you." Krune nodded, glad to have taught such heroes.

Their hands had been fused and forged within the three rings to result in the forge. Krune also installed a mechanism in the seal using which people could manipulate the force.

After all, at the top of the pillar was a flame, fist-sized, alternating between the colors of red and blue. The red was the sun energy, and the blue was the moon energy.

After two days of the Yin Dragon's horns being immersed in the solutions each, Krune took them out, noticing that they were colored orange and white, respectively.

He and his dad worked on the orange horn first, adjusting the flame to become red, also increasing its strength accordingly as they began to gently hammer it.

The hammer was one of the Yin Dragon's bones that was more or less such a shape.

"After this, we'll have to prepare proper forging hammers using its horns," Liu Heng's father said. In response, Krune only let out a knowing smile.

The two then rhythmically hammered the horn, taking turns as they worked on it nonstop for an entire day, finally creating a kite-shaped item resembling the Yin Dragon's scale.

"Alright, dad. Use it. This is yours," Krune said, giving the item to his dad.

"This is for me?" His dad was shocked.

"Of course." Krune nodded, gently pressing the item onto his dad's hand, watching it meld into him.

After a moment of surprise, his dad muttered in disbelief. "This is…a hammer?"

"Yes, to forge more of such creations, a hammer is necessary." Krune laughed, declaring, "And in the future, our Liu Family will become a forging family."

"Amazing!" His dad focused, summoning a hammer in his hands, one that was tremendously tough and shone with a gentle fiery radiance. With a glance, he knew that it was a peerless item created exclusively to create other such items.

"Mom, your turn next," Krune said. After some rest, they began to work on the white horn, repeating the same process before creating another kite-shaped item. Once Daxia Ting absorbed it into her body, she summoned a hammer that shone with a frosty radiance.

"We'll make some more of such hammers and equip them to the rest of our family," Krune said, smiling. "These hammers also double down as powerful weapons against Yin Beasts and even Nightmares. So, it'll become our Liu Family's symbol."

"These items…" Daxia Ting asked, "What are they…"

"Of course, I already thought of the perfect name for them," Krune showed unusual excitement all of a sudden. "I call them…"

"County Arms!"
