The real problem would be if the attempt actually succeeded.
I summoned Durandal using bonus points. If I returned a Durandal that was no longer restricted for beginners to my point pool and then summoned it again, would the new one still have those restrictions removed?
It wasn't something I could easily test.
From now on, I had no choice but to keep Durandal summoned and simply store it in my Item Box. Well, it couldn't be helped. That was a level of risk I was willing to accept. Besides, if it didn't turn out to be as strong as I expected after removing the beginner restrictions, I could always just return it to my points anyway.
"Oh!"
"It's finished."
Durandal remained intact. There had been a non-zero chance, however slim, that the weapon might have broken during the process. No risk, no reward.
"Hmm. I can't tell the difference."
I took Durandal and gave it a experimental grip, but I couldn't feel any change. I had no idea what had actually been altered. It had been the same way with the Orichalcum Swords. I suppose I should just be glad it didn't break.
No, if I left it at that, the Guild Temple item would have been a waste. I needed to go to the Labyrinth and test it out.
I took the reborn Durandal to a suitable floor of the Quratar Labyrinth for a trial run.
It was strong.
It seemed that the Durandal usable by a Level 1 Villager really had been scaled down for beginners after all. The Durandal with its beginner restrictions removed was a different beast entirely.
It slaughtered monsters left and right.
This was a true masterpiece. A true weapon. This state was the real Durandal—the True Durandal.
With this, we could still fight. Our limits would likely be somewhere around the 60th or 70th Floor.
Wait, that's basically the same thing.
No, it wasn't. It was different. As a fighter, the actual sensation was completely different.
With this blade in hand, we could keep fighting for a long time yet.
