Chapter 149: Favored by the World
Everyone nodded in understanding at that moment, so that was the reason Professor Alfred was here. For the fairness of the evaluation on finding the guilty party or parties, Axel asked for 12 forged swords with no enchantments. Prince Luther, with some obvious hesitation, handed those over. A small but sturdy table was set up.
Axel decided to take the rune engraving pen from Taser, but he said he didnāt have it with him at the moment, to which Axel only smiled. Itās obvious why you donāt have it with you, so the professor provided that for him. With masterfully experienced hand movements and elegant control of energy output, he started engraving runes on each of the 12 swords on the table one by one.
This was the first time anyone was seeing Axel perform engraving, not even Lumina had seen it, even though she often asked Axel for advice on Runic sorcery from time to time. And everyone could not help but lock their eyes onto the process, there was an unbelievably graceful beauty in his movements, as the golden sparks started to form a majestic looking golden patterned symbol.
It was like seeing a master painter draw a picture onto a white canvas then as the picture slowly came to be, it was turning almost lifelike, even those didnāt understand a thing about runic sorcery stared in awe, for reasons they didnāt even know about, the wind started to blow gently, birds chirping could be heard, it was if the world itself was celebrating it to a very small degree, prince Lucien especially with his 6th sense and a rudimentary sense from the dragon bloodline stared at the scene in pure awe.
There was a fundamentally profound power in the process of it, something very pure but powerful. As for the runecasters, they were even more dumbfounded, as he continued to engrave on one weapon after another, there were no traces of struggle on his face. While doing the engravement, the world Will tries to hamper the process as a terrifying headache continues to assault the runecaster on the process, as the pain continues to increase as the rune engravement comes closer and closer to the end.
They couldnāt believe it, did the world not restrict Axel in the process of it? Not only that, the profundity in his engraved runes was far, far greater than anything they could ever produce. The moment a rune was about to be formed, the golden light became brighter as it reflected on the face of Axel and his ocean blue eyes.
Even the mighty and experienced professor Alfred, one of the best runecasters in the entirety of the human lands, stared at the scene of Axelās engraving in sheer disbelief. There was an incomparably beautiful flow to it, a breathtaking majesty in his movements, an almost night-perfect optimization of his strong intent to shape his mana into the form of the most optimized version of the runes he had ever seen from anyone.
No, there was only ever one person who had ever shown such impossible capacity in runecasting, the one and only Damien Nomrad, the greatest aspiration of all the runic sorcerers. Now his grandson was showing that same impossible level of expertise in that very field, he let out a disbelieving chuckle,
āJust what is with this Nomrad family? The apple truly doesnāt fall from the tree. As expected of that manās bloodline.ā
Of course, his words werenāt heard by anyone; he didnāt let his words travel to anyoneās ears and disturb Axelās engraving procedure. In just 30 minutes or less, he was done engraving all 12 swords. When the last one was done, the wind blew even more, far in the distance at the edge of the island, and sea waves crashed onto the shore.
Gentle and white clouds gathered high in the sky, the breeze of the wind became cooler, countless butterflies flew above Axel, buzzing happily, a few drops of rain even fell from the sky, it didnāt start raining but simply a few gentle drops fell and just from that, a rainbow showed in the sky beautifully barely noticeable.
A peaceful calmness spread through everyoneās hearts as a result of that scene. All the other runecasters stared at this with wide eyes, it almost seemed like some sort of epiphany was within their grasps but they werenāt able to understand it, Taser felt it, something was happening, something indescribably profound, it was right at the tip of his tongue, yet he wasnāt able to grasp it.
The same was for all the other runecasterās they could feel something profound at their tongue, but werenāt able to taste it. There was one runecaster who had grasped it, actually, it was none other than Lumina. She understood it, a deep working of the runic sorcery, how she could do it better, how she could be better.
While Axelās fellow runecaster peers were trying to grasp an epiphany from his masterful display of engravement, Professor Alfred, high in the sky, was feeling the exact opposite.
A wave of terror passed through the mind of the rune professor, his shock was so great at this point that he almost fell from the skies and crashed into the ground at everyone, the control of his mana almost going haywire.
All these changes in the environment were nothing but the acknowledgement of the world Will itself, but how can that be? Even the legendary elves who had an innate advantage on all sorts of magic because of their inherent bloodline, even they did not claim that there were more than a few people in their entire history who had ever managed to get the acknowledgement of the world Will, no matter how profound they were.
It means Axelās runecasting is so great that the world Will had no choice but to acknowledge it instead of hindering it. He muttered in disbelief,
āGood lord, what a monster, this boy might even surpass his grandfather.ā
The professor asked Axel, since the engraving was over, unable to contain his curiosity, āAxel, how?????ā
Everyone broke out of their stupor; they suddenly realized that they were enchanted, utterly enchanted by the whole process, and didnāt even realize how the time had passed. They looked towards the professor and saw the traces of shock in his face and the question he asked. Just what did it mean? Even Prince Luther, who was leading the charges against him, was enamored by the artistic beauty of Axelās engraving process.
Axelās eyes finally moved from the weapons he was engraving, he looked towards his professor, and answered with a serene smile, āBecause there is no one, no one more passionate and driven about runic sorcery than me, there is no one who puts in more effort than me in it, there is no one who loves it more than me, there is no one who is more enchanted by it than me, there is no one like me who finds it so beautiful, as beautiful as this cruel world itself.ā
āAnd the world, whether it wants it or not, has no choice but to at least respect my boundless appreciation for it,ā he concluded contentedly.
