Patience was a virtue, and Lawrend diligently put that into practice. He waited and didn’t use his fire magic to accelerate it from drying.
After a day, Lawrend waved his hand and sprinkled a mist of water all over the Elusive Deep Sea Vine. It was drying too fast because of the low humidity of the red desert around him.
This went on for a week. Lawrend misted it with water until the vine was fully dried.
He peeled off the black crust and revealed a slick and smooth Elusive Deep Sea Vine. It was thinner than before and dry, but it wasn’t like a dried vegetable that looked awful.
It was beautiful, almost like a green noodle covered with delicious broth.
“Perfect.”
Lawrend took the wooden bow in his hands, running his fingers along the smooth surface. He focused on the task at hand, carefully wrapping the Elusive Deep Sea Vine bowstring around the bow. He took his time, making sure not to rush and to keep his hand steady.
As he worked, he checked the tension of the bowstring, adjusting it if it felt too tight or too loose. It took him about an hour to complete the process, but he was satisfied with the results.
He held it at arm’s length and started at its beauty. It was simple, but it was crafted with the best materials in the world. Some of which, the origin, were unknown.
“Beautiful.”
Juju’s eyes lit up after seeing the finished bow. She was excited to see something beautiful come out of Lawrend’s hands.
Lawrend smiled at her and started the next step.
He flipped the bow all over and got a good look at its surface. He then prepared his mind by going through the magic formation in his imagination several times and checking for any mistakes.
Once he was sure about it, Lawrend lifted his finger and used a thin strand of Divine Lightning to carve out the lines all over the bow.
Juju was shocked when she saw what he was doing. She wanted to stop him, but Ramiela grabbed her wrist. She shook her head.
Ramiela was aware of what Lawrend was doing.
Juju furrowed her eyebrows and stopped. She wanted to argue, but she feared that it would disturb Lawrend and anger him. She could only wait and trust that Lawrend wasn’t ruining the bow.
The more lines Lawrend carved, the more a certain idea appeared inside of Juju’s mind.
‘Could it be that he is carving a magic formation on it!?’ Juju thought to herself.
She massaged her temples. She almost ruined it earlier. She turned to Ramiela and nodded her head to show her appreciation.
Ramiela smiled at her.
She might be a competitor, but that didn’t mean she needed to be hostile to her. Their goal should always be to make Lawrend happy.
Lawrend spent a whole week carving the magical formation on the bow. It was intricate, but it was easy for his Heaven Mage soul.
Amene and the others came out to check on it and found themselves to be staring at his fingers in a daze. The dexterity and control he used were mesmerizing.
Amene couldn’t help but feel excited. She could feel that it was going to be awesome once she started using it in the future.
“Master is so awesome-nyaa!” she said to the others in the village, making sure she was far enough so she wouldn’t disturb him.
*BOOM!*
The bow suddenly cracked in Lawrend’s hand.
The sound was loud and caught everyone’s attention. They came out and saw Lawrend holding the cracked bow in disbelief.
“…” he was speechless, unable to understand how this could have happened.
He had worked so hard on this bow, but it suddenly cracked out of nowhere.
But as he stared at it a bit more, he realized something. The bow was still intact in his hand! It didn’t turn into pieces as it should’ve been if it truly just exploded.
He was still skeptical, so he tried to pull it apart. To his surprise, it held itself together. A smile slowly formed on his face.
He inserted a bit of his mana and found that his mana flowed within the cracks and lines like flowing into a river. It was smooth, and there were no blockages. It was better than he would’ve expected if it was only the magic formation he carved.
“Ahahaha!” Lawrend laughed out loud.
He grinned and looked towards Amene. Her cat ears fluttered as she also realized something from the grin on his face. She flew as fast as she could and arrived in front of him.
“Take it.”
Lawrend passed it to her with his two hands. It was his proudest work as of yet.
“Thank you, Nyaa!”
Amene bowed and took the bow from his hands with both of her hands. She carefully gazed at it and immediately fell in love. It was smooth and light. She tugged at the bowstring, and it was very hard.
“Nyaa?”
Amene practiced aimed with it.
“Try pouring your mana into it,” Lawrend said.
Amene poured her mana into it, and it glowed a fiery red color from the Tears of Lava Lawrend coated it with. The bowstring suddenly became light as she pulled it back.
“Huh?”
Amene was confused at the change.
“Your mana will power your arrow and propel it forward. You don’t have to worry about it pulling back easily. It will still be powerful. Of course, if you’re out of mana, it will be harder to pull, but you could still use it,” Lawrend explained to her with a smile on his face.
“I will try it, Nyaa!”
Amene took out an arrow from her storage ring.
“A Fire Earth Mage Mana Stone as the tip, huh?”
Lawrend was impressed at her luxury and creativeness.
