Arthur picked up the great shield, which immediately transformed into a vambrace the moment he touched it.
He casually equipped it in his left hand, and with a thought, the shield once again appeared in all its glory.

A hiss escaped Arthur’s lips as he read the information of the Mythical Shield in his hand. Usually, people were unable to see this kind of information, so he was very surprised that he was able to see it.
Little did he know that Thirteen made it so that only Arthur and Lady Callista could see the descriptions of the Mythical Weapons.
Others would only see a blank information screen, even if they used an appraisal device.
This was to ensure that no one would be able to know what the Mythical Weapons could do.
Simply put, in the eyes of others, the priceless equipment that Gerald created was just ordinary pieces of equipment in the Adamantine Rank.
Even if a Monarch were to look at it closely, they wouldn’t see anything amiss and treat it like an ordinary weapon that had the “Indestructible” ability imbued in it.
With the Empyrean Great Sword and the Empyrean Great Shield, even Arthur would have the confidence to fight toe to toe with a Monarch.
The only reason why Thrones couldn’t fight against Monarchs was because of their Domain.
Inside these pseudo-worlds, a Monarch’s strength increased by leaps and bounds.
With the skill Domain Breaker, Arthur wouldn’t have to worry about that anymore.
Although the price for using this skill was a Tier 7 Jinn or Majin Core per use, the Leventis Family currently had six of them, which was a good thing.
Arthur then glanced at the two Empyrean Short Swords and checked the information they had as well.

The corner of Arthur’s lips twitched after seeing the Note at the bottom of the weapon description.
Mythical Weapons could only be exclusively used by people with the Rank of Thrones and above. No Champion in existence could wield such powerful weapons because their Ranks were not enough to contain its power.
Although he was surprised, he didn’t feel bad about it. After all, if this Mythical Weapon was meant for his wife, then it meant that it would stay within the Leventis Family.
‘This weapon comes in a set,’ Arthur thought. ‘Also, no one can wield them aside from Callista.’
The Patriarch of the Leventis Clan glanced at his wife, who had a sweet smile on her face as she held one of the Empyrean Short Swords in her hand.
Gerald’s mother was proficient in using short swords, but she wasn’t as good when it came to dual-wielding.
She would usually fight with a short sword and a round shield. But with the Empyrean Short Swords, she would be able to dual-wield without any problems.
“Are you really planning to Auction the Great Sword and Shield?” Arthur asked.
Since the Short Swords had his wife’s name on them, he didn’t think that the two equipment were meant for Auction.
“Of course,” Gerald replied. “I already repaid my debt to the Leventis Family by giving Mother these two Mythical Short Swords. Any more would be a big loss for me.”
“What do you want?” Arthur inquired.
There was simply no way that he would hand the two other pieces of Mythical Equipment to the other Families, whom he considered to be his rivals.
“Oi, Old Man, didn’t you hear me earlier?” Gerald asked with a frown. “The Leventis Family’s wealth is not even enough to buy my Great Sword, what makes you think that I would sell it to you, huh?”
Arthur sneered as he grabbed the Great Sword and pointed it at his unfilial son.
The Great Shield was already equipped on his left arm, and he had no intention of giving it away no matter what.
“Hah? So, you are going to resort to this, huh?” Gerald snorted.
He gazed at his father fearlessly because he knew that he wouldn’t dare to harm him, especially since he was able to craft four pieces of Mythical Equipment.
In short, if there was a Rank for Blacksmiths, then Gerald would be the one and only Mythical Ranked Blacksmith in the world of Solterra and Pangea.
Only a fool would hurt, antagonize, or kill such a talent.
Arthur was not a fool, but he also had no intention of relinquishing the items that were already in his hands.
Lady Callista was about to step up in order to break the tension in the air when, suddenly, they heard a clapping sound inside the Smithy.
“Okay. Calm down, everyone,” Thirteen said with a smile. “Pops, you shouldn’t make things difficult for Grandma and Grandpa. How about you let me handle the negotiations?”
“Zion, stay out of adult matters,” Gerald replied in a disapproving tone. “You already know that this old fart disowned me, and I have no intention of returning to the Leventis Family. With the exception of Mother and my sister, Sandra, all of them can be left to rot for all I care.”
“Pops, calm down, okay? Let me negotiate with Grandpa. I’m sure that the two of us can reach a compromise.”
“And why would I let you do that, huh? The Great Sword and the Great Shield will be auctioned. That’s final.”
Thirteen sighed before shifting his gaze to his Grandma.
“Grandma, please take Pops outside first in order to calm his head,” Thirteen stated. “I’ll talk with Grandpa while you cool him down.”
Seeing that her dear grandson was trying his best to decrease the tension in the Smithy, Lady Callista grabbed her son’s hand and pulled him away despite his protests.
After regaining her Rank as Champion, Lady Callista had even made a breakthrough, reaching the Peak of the Champion Rank.
A mere Grandmaster like Gerald was not a match against her, especially when it came to brute strength.
When they were the only ones inside the room, Thirteen faced the Patriarch of the Leventis Family with a devilish smile on his face.
Everything that had been exchanged between him and his father was part of their act.
Now that the stage had been set, Thirteen chuckled internally.
There was simply no way that he wouldn’t extort the old fart who disowned his father, especially after all the hardships they had to endure up to this point.
“Well then, Grandpa, let’s start to negotiate,” Thirteen said with a smile. “Don’t worry, I’ll give you an offer that you can’t refuse, and I’ll even convince Pops to no longer pursue the Auctioning of the Great Sword and Great Shield like he originally planned.”
Arthur looked at the seven-year-old in front of him and nodded his head.
He had no idea that after the negotiation was over, Thirteen would have complete control over the earnings of the Leventis Family, as well as the spoils that they gained on a regular basis by going on expeditions in Solterra.
